OK I thought I would start the LOTR game based on the Harry Potter game. Here are the rules (that I copied from the HP game thread) Help me out with the characters if I miss any.
Each will start with 15 points and you can vote for them to leave or stay. Here is how, you pick out three characters and either give them a + or - 2 and add or subtract accordingly. When a character gets down to 0, they die and you get to kill them off any grisley way you see fit. The game goes until we have a winner, a sort of this is the most loved character sort of thing. A couple more rules, make sure that you only vote once per day, that you vote for 3 people only and you give them + or - 2. Also, you may want to give reasons why you want to help kill off or bolster a character to make it more fun. Here is the list: Have fun everyone!
(not in any particular order)

Are we voting for the characters as portrayed in the books or the movies?
Also, in my observation of the Harry Potter game, it would have worked a bit better if people were required to have their votes add to zero -- i.e. you must vote two +'s and one -2.
My votes
Frodo + Gandalf + Denthor -2

Crap! I just wrote out one! Oh well.
Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :
which should we use?
Posted by JaimeBenlevy (Member # 6222) on :
I think it might be better if you could only add points to one person and take away points from the other two. Otherwise we might end up with 10 people with 100 points.
Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
Well, we did it this way last time, and it seemed to work. After a while the favorite characters lost points for the sake of furthering the game and so it all worked out. It's up to you guys though. I thought the way we had it before was fine, but if you want to change it, go ahead.
Posted by digging_hoIes (Member # 6963) on :
We need to agree.
Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
Well, this one has 28 people on the list, and the other one has 36. So it completely depends on how many people you want on the list.
Posted by KPhysicsGeek (Member # 8655) on :
I vote for take away from 2 and add to 1: ++ Faramir: For being the able to resist the ring and his wonderful speach about how he viewed Gondor --Shelob: Not really a character. Scary, but didn't emotionally affect me. --Saruman: Always felt him kind of wimpy.

It did eventually work out, but I bored of following it long before it did. By forcing people to vote against someone in order to vote for someone else (or visa versa), you are requiring people to make more difficult judgements. I think that would make the game more interesting.

I vote I cut out Fatty.. he wasn't in the movie and didn't have a big part in the book. Anyone second it?
Sorry I even put him in..
Posted by digging_hoIes (Member # 6963) on :
Second.
So we're definitely going with this one then?
Posted by unicornwhisperer (Member # 294) on :
People have already voted on this one so I would think so.
++Rosie Cotton (My favorite character) --Wormtongue (He's a true sniveling weasel) --Denethor (For doing vile things on a very personal level, even if he was off his rocker)
I took the liberty of adding a couple characters from the other list -- I hope I'm not out of line. I think Rosie Cotton is an absolute MUST, but that's only because she's my favorite character.
[EDIT: Evie, you forgot to subtract from Wormtongue, so I did for you. Also, KPPhysicsGeek forgot to subtract from Shelob.]

I also agree with the fact that we shouldn't limit ourselves to voting two down and one up. I think that makes the game less fun and restricts who we can vote for.
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Thats precisely why we should limit ourselves. It puts restrictions on it so you kind of have to think about who you are voting for, and it makes it so the numbers go down faster than they go up (which is what they need to).
I say stay with the one ++ two --.
It makes the game more fun. Death is fun. Killing people is the point of the game, not making them last forever. Not everyones favorite character will survive. Keep it at -- -- ++, please.

I think Liv got a bum rap. Considering how long the movie was, she was barely in it, and her tiny scenes were only there so when she appeared at the end, it didn't seem out of the blue.

Shelob died 3 days later of food poisoning and intense allergic reaction. She was allergic to nuts.

Prince Imrahil is the brother in law of Denethor (technically), ruler of Dol Amroth by the sea, leader of the two thousand knights who marched in at the muster of Gondor on her hour of need!
He also ruled Minias Tirith after Denethor died and Faramir was still sick until Aragorn took his crown officially.

mouth of Sauron should be at 3. He was at 5 after SenojRetep's post, and unicornwhisperer was the only one to pick him after that.

Tom Bombadil-- the reason I couldn't really follow the book Witch King-- isn't he dead yet? Gandalf ++ even though he should have used more of his awesome powers.
I'm sorry but Mouth of Sauron was dead a while ago someone didn't take mine into account.. he was down to 1 people! And then someone killed him.
So I guess if no one objects I will do his death.
Mouth of Sauron: After being beheaded by Aragorn, his head was still alive. However Aragorn decided to send (the mouth of sauron's) head to the witch from "Return of Oz". His head, among her collection, became her most prized of heads.

Marlozhan-
You should recheck the thread. I just did and MoS was at 9 pts coming into the third page. After unicornwhisperer's post he was down to 3 just like ricree101 said. He never got to 1 and he certainly wasn't killed. I therefore reinstate MoS at his previous total (although the death was cool in a Bran (Mabinogian) sort of way).

Technically both Celebrimbor and Gil-Galad both gave away rings of power. Celebrimbor made them and gave them to Gil-Galad, who passed them out to Galadriel, Elrond and Cirdan.
Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
Arwen ++ Sauron - (wasn't even a character in the Lord of the Rings, just the personification of evil) Prince Imrahil - (Most unmemorable character in the books. I've read the books many times and he's the only character people have mentioned who I can't even remember.)

++ Eomer (King among men) ++ Prince Imrahil (one of the few men left with Numenorean/Elf blood running through his veins) -- Gollum (annoying wretch)
Edited to include Rabbit's votes. Even though I inherently distrust anyone who votes down Imrahil for being unmemorable and votes UP Arwen. That's a travesty and a crime against literary nature.

I'm pretty sure Galadriel isn't Elrond's mother. First of all, Elrond married Celebrian, who was the daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn, and Elves weren't big fans of incest, just ask Maeglin.
I'm almost positive he's the son of Earendil and Elwing, who herself was the granddaughter of a mortal man and Elf, just as Earendil is the son of the second mortal and elven union.

The Death of Legolas and Smeagol: Legolas, hearing the commotion between Boromir and Gollum ran over to see what was going on. There he saw a dazed looking Smeagol shaking his head and looking around. Legolas walked over intending to see if Smeagol was alright, when he saw The One Ring on the ground.
TOR - Pick me up!
Legolas obliged, picking up The One Ring, intending to give it back to Frodo at the first chance.
TOR - Thank god! Frodo chatters on incessantly and I think Smeagol has a thing for me! And seriously, what's up with Sam and Frodo anyways?
Legolas - Well he IS the ring, I mean, your, bearer. You kind of have to, well, bear it. Besides, aren't you evil? You don't really have any room to complain.
TOR - Oh yeah? Hey! Smeagol!
Smeagol, hearing the call of the ring, and seeing Legolas holding The One Ring moved closer to investigate.
Smeagol - What's it doing?
Now, seeing Legolas in close conversation with The One Ring instantly flew into a jealous rage to rival Gollum's. Smeagol threw himself at Legolas, knocking The One Ring out of his hand, and then recovered it for himself.
Smeagol - Yes! Reunited and it feels so good! My precious!
TOR - It's the lesser of two evils, must keep telling myself that. Lesser of two evils....
Legolas - Hey wait! This isn't how the story is supposed to go!
Legolas moved forward to try and retake The One Ring from Gollum, but at that moment, Uruk-Hai appeared from nowhere and killed him Haldir style.
TOR - Rape! RAPE! Oh wait, that never works. Fire! FIRE!
The Uruk-Hai, hearing someone in distress, instantly felt the urge to kill and pillage, and were forced to vent their frustrations on Smeagol, who was promptly, and efficiently killed in an orderly fashion. But The One Ring was not recovered, and the Uruk-Hai ran off to find Frodo.
TOR - Seriously! If you find him, just kill him! If you capture him he'll talk your ear off all the way to Isengard! Crap. Now I'm stuck here. Where's a Numenorean when you need one? Posted by Avin (Member # 7751) on :
Cirdan was going around his shipyard, minding his own business, when suddenly he fell in the water and drowned. It was a great loss for the Elves, because Cirdan was the only Elf who could build boats, seemingly. They tried swimming across so wide a sea, but whether or not they actually made it, no story tells.

I go away for a brief vacation and my beloved shipwright dies an ignominious drowning death? Crushing. Now I'll have to change my Hawaiian shirt for mourning black.
I was hoping to kill off Sauron in retribution (since digging_holes started Cirdan's headhunt), but unfortunately I'm too late. I had a great story, too (suggestions, Lyrhawn) involving Cirdan's spirit returning from the halls of Mandos with a chain forged by Aule himself to drag Sauron's tortured soul to outer-darkness to be tormented by Morgoth eternally. Mwahh-ha-ha.
Oh yeah, my votes: Faramir 23 Gandalf 23 Balrog 23 Aragorn 21 Eowyn 19 Eomer 19 Merry 15 King Theoden 15 Sam 15 Nazgul 13 Prince Imrahil 13 Galadriel 13 Frodo 13 Pippin 13 Shadowfax 9 Bilbo 7 Gimli 5 Treebeard 3
Nazgul -- (without the Witch king, they're just a bunch of empty shirts) Prince Imrahil -- (time to sweep the list, indeed) Sam ++ (He could have ruled the world, but preferred to tend his garden instead)

Treebeard - Nazgul -- Shadowfax ++(what can I say I love horses.. especially white ones)
Treebeard's end will come to me just give me a second. Posted by unicornwhisperer (Member # 294) on :
Denethor: Denethor rode in his carriage, Boromir next to him, Faramir behind him. He waved to the crowds as he passed, and indeed there was a crowd. Without warning three arrows went right the Steward. Many screamed, few looked for where it came from. Days afterward, people found the shooter who shot from high up a castle wall, but did not release his name. Many people insist that an arrow came from a grassy knoll, but that can not be confirmed.
Saruman:: His love of machines finally caught up with him: was pushed into a prototype steam powered forrest clearer by Grima. Treebeard later used his body as fertilizer to help trees grow again in Isengard.
: Wormtongue:: Eowyn gets sick of Wormtongue stalking her all the time and ties his tongue to a tree, where he eventually dies of dehydration. Isildur: Isildur was skipping along the forrest mindlessly tossing bread crumbs as he went. Everyone did always say that Isildur was a bit nutty. Along the way, he saw a house made out of gingerbread candy and immediately started eating. He ate and ate and ate until Shelob popped out and ate him whole.
Shelob: died 3 days later of food poisoning and intense allergic reaction. She was allergic to nuts.
Tom Bombadil : Tom was skipping through the woods one day when he tripped over a nasty root cluster and fell into a nest of ravenous squirrels. They never found his head.
The Mouth of Sauron: The Mouth of Sauron put the Foot of Sauron into himself. Inevitably, the Mouth of Sauron died of humiliation.
Arwen: Died of grief and shame when Aragorn dumped her at the altar and married Glorfindel instead. That was her reward for choosing mortality . .
Witch King: We now see Eowynn stabbing the witch king in the mouth. However, the Witch King ate the sword and laughed maniachly at Eowynn in triumph. A shock of fear came over Eowynn as she realized she had no sword to deffend herself. But she did have a Super Magnet! So she pulled out the magnet and it drew all the peices of the sword out of the witch king's body. The witch king, now swiss cheese, falls to the ground.
"Thank goodness" said Eowynn "My ear plugs were molding."
The Death of Boromir and Gollum: Gollum, long in his desire to be reunited with his one love, the One Ring, follows the Fellowship to the Argonath, and then beyond to the Rauros. There he spots Aragorn and Boromir on the shore eyeing him. He slowly works his way across the water and to the shore, creeping up and over the woods into the forest he hides amongst the ruins. There he sees Boromir attempt to take the One Ring from Frodo. Frodo puts the One Ring on and escapes. Gollum hears the ring calling to Boromir and Boromir responding. In a jealous rage, fearing the One Ring was hitting on Boromir, Gollum flung himself at Boromir, dashing his head against a rock and killing him. Gollum, in his joy danced to the top of the largest ruin and then fell off it to his death, in typical Gollum fashion.
Rosie: Rosie was so excited to have her Sam back home at last that she ran across the Shire to embrace him. Unfortunately she slipped on a patch of mushrooms and hit her head on a tankard of ale. Sam tried to bring her round with the smell of pipeweed, but she passed away in his arms.
Elrond: Elrond: Elrond strains to hear Galadriel speak to him. Since she is miles and miles away in Lothlorien, it seems to be a difficult task. Elrond leans over the balcony and puts his hand to his ear in hopes to hear her more clearly. However the balcony breaks and he falls into a waterfall and to his death.
The Death of Legolas and Smeagol: Legolas, hearing the commotion between Boromir and Gollum ran over to see what was going on. There he saw a dazed looking Smeagol shaking his head and looking around. Legolas walked over intending to see if Smeagol was alright, when he saw The One Ring on the ground.
TOR - Pick me up!
Legolas obliged, picking up The One Ring, intending to give it back to Frodo at the first chance.
TOR - Thank god! Frodo chatters on incessantly and I think Smeagol has a thing for me! And seriously, what's up with Sam and Frodo anyways?
Legolas - Well he IS the ring, I mean, your, bearer. You kind of have to, well, bear it. Besides, aren't you evil? You don't really have any room to complain.
TOR - Oh yeah? Hey! Smeagol!
Smeagol, hearing the call of the ring, and seeing Legolas holding The One Ring moved closer to investigate.
Smeagol - What's it doing?
Now, seeing Legolas in close conversation with The One Ring instantly flew into a jealous rage to rival Gollum's. Smeagol threw himself at Legolas, knocking The One Ring out of his hand, and then recovered it for himself.
Smeagol - Yes! Reunited and it feels so good! My precious!
TOR - It's the lesser of two evils, must keep telling myself that. Lesser of two evils....
Legolas - Hey wait! This isn't how the story is supposed to go!
Legolas moved forward to try and retake The One Ring from Gollum, but at that moment, Uruk-Hai appeared from nowhere and killed him Haldir style.
TOR - Rape! RAPE! Oh wait, that never works. Fire! FIRE!
The Uruk-Hai, hearing someone in distress, instantly felt the urge to kill and pillage, and were forced to vent their frustrations on Smeagol, who was promptly, and efficiently killed in an orderly fashion. But The One Ring was not recovered, and the Uruk-Hai ran off to find Frodo.
TOR - Seriously! If you find him, just kill him! If you capture him he'll talk your ear off all the way to Isengard! Crap. Now I'm stuck here. Where's a Numenorean when you need one?
Treebeard: Was chopped into firewood by a raving squirrel, who couldn't stand all the poems Treebeard recited.

Treebeard: Was chopped into firewood by a raving squirrel, who couldn't stand all the poems Treebeard recited.
Sauron: Now several thousand years old, Sauron's vision had long since gone myopic. His great eye, ever searching the sky, was nothing but a great show he put on to try and scare people. Today was to be a great day though, the Nazgul, flying two great fell beasts were lifting the great Monocle of Mordor into place on top of Barad-Dur. Long had it been forging in the dark Lenscrafters of Mordor. Once it was in place, Sauron heaved a sigh of relief, for once again he had perfect vision. Happily, he looked over to Mt. Doom, and his great eye squinted as he saw two little figures scurrying up the mountainside. The rest is history. Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :

Okay yeah, the Balrog is pretty kicka$$, but really what happens? He's ancient and evil, he drags Gadalf into shadow, he gets killed. Big whoop.
Prince Imrahil...very noble. I like him. But he's not very interesting.
You people are nuts! You want to kill off Frodo? Poor, burdened Frodo? Normally I'd just vote for Sam, but I can't see Frodo at the same level as the NAZGUL, for thelovapete.
Also, kudos to Lyrhawn. That WAS an awesome Sauron death.

Death of Gimli: After Legolas's death at the hands of the Uruk-Hai, Gimli became a full-time Orc hunter. After dispatching Legolas' murderers, he wandered the forests of western Middle Earth, challenging random orcs to mortal combat. His other pastime was drinking...heavily. Unfortunately, these two pursuits don't mix well, and he was beheaded by a sly Mordor orc while in a drunken stupor after losing a drinking contest with a cave troll at the Prancing Pony in Bree.

I added The One Ring. It's perhaps the most important character in the whole series, it deserved to be treated like the other characters. I think after this we should do a Pre-Third Age LOTR game. See how Tuor and Turgon do against Melkor and Fingolfin.

Death of Bilbo (first enactment of the 48 hour rule): Bilbo stepped out of his snug hobbit hole and onto the Road, humming "The Road Goes Ever, Ever On." As he often said, "You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to." This turned out to be literally true in this case, as the Brandywine River had flooded, turning the Road into a raging River. Bilbo was never heard from again.

Death of Prince Imrahil, Lord of Dol Amroth by the sea. Long had been the journey from the Bay of Balfalas to Minas Tirith. The men of Dol Amroth, tall and proud, mail shining in the waning light, and swords glistening with the timeless shine of ancient craftsmanship, rode high in the saddles of their glorious horses. They looked high to the tops of the city, hundreds of feet into the air and saw the good people of Gondor's chief city cheering their entrance, and cheering their lord and captain, Prince Imrahil.
He entered the city with fanfare. He was one of the few left who could trace his blood back to the ancient men of Westernesse, and those that came with him were just as fair to look upon. Two thousand in number, but really numbers did them no justice, not for what they represented. Imrahil did not look forward to the coming meeting with Denethor. Deeply buried in his heart was a bitterness over the death of his sister Finduilas, and somewhere in his heart he blamed Denethor and the city of stone that stole his beloved sister away from the sea she loved so much.
But he came at the call of Gondor's Lord, until the king returned to claim his title. It wasn't long once he was inside the city's walls that the Battle of the Pelennor Fields began. The hordes of Mordor came wave after wave upon the battle rallied forces of Gondor, bursting upon the stone walls of Minas Tirith as water upon the rocks by the sea. Imrahil kept his men together, as the only cavalry forces of Gondor, his men were vital in breaking the horde of orcs upon the field. But even his men could not stop the host before him. It wasn't long before they were pressed inside the walls. The enemy wasted no time in bringing forth Grond, like the arm of the devil himself, named for Morgoth's mighty hammer, it smote the gates of Minas Tirith, letting loose a torrent of cursed black armor into the city.
And from some courtyard of the city, a cock crowed, wrecking nothing of wizardry or war, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn. And Imrahil heard over the hills, horns horns horns, great horns of the north wildly blowing, echoing far and wide over the fields of the Pelennor in the distance. In that moment, the hearts of his people cast off the shade of Mordor and let loose with the morning light. The mighty horses of the north stampeded across the fields, turning the tide for the forces of food, and driving the orcs and trolls to the edge of the river Anduin, upon the very Harlond itself.
Imrahil charged with the others, chasing the orcs, and Easterlings, the huge trolls in their rocking carriages of doom, and the massive mumakil war oliphants with their Haradrim lords. The battle was theirs! Against all odds, and against all hope marked with fear of loss, they had won the day.
Yet the tide would turn once more. The mighty Numenorean men of Dol Amroth, city by the sea, looked up with faces pale to see a fleet of black ships. The words of Denethor had proven true, and so also lost were Ethir and Lebinnin, lands we had thought safe and protected. And was Dol Amroth lost as well?
His heart busrting with sorrow, he rushed upon the enemy, who upon seeing the ships were filled with glee, and turned on their pursuers, changing the fortune of battle yet again. Imrahil let loose a wrath of ancient power upon the orcs, hewing a great many, smoting them upon the rocks and staining the walls of the Ranmas Echor with their blood. But he cut too far into their lines. Soon he found himself alone, with but a few of his knights around him, surrounded by orcs on all sides. He heard the shouts of his men beyond the orcs shouting in vain, charging valiantly, butchering valiantly, but in the end served only to ease their sorrow.
The great lord Imrahil, Lord and Prince of Dol Amroth fell fighting many enemies, like his nephew Boromir, no help would come to save him. His legacy would live on in Lothloriel, his daughter, and his once still living sister. And few would remember the day that Imrahil, son of Numenor and Lorien fell upon the walls of Minas Tirith.
(sorry it was so long, but I had to do his death justice)

Death of TOR and Shadowfax (because it's bugging me): After grazing on some lovely grass, Shadowfax went to take a drink. At the bottom of the pool he saw a beautiful ring. The ring called to him; he thrust his body into the pool and grasped the ring between his teeth. Power flooded through him great enough to turn the whole world into a fertile grazing plain. In excitement he whinnied, swallowing the ring.
Driven mad by his brush with supreme power, Shadowfax ran wild, rampaging through Middle-Earth. The ring stayed safe in his belly. Exactly one year later servents of Sauron (who is already dead, but go with it), surmising the cause of the stallion's madness, brought him to Mordor. But the great beast broke loose and, in his madness, galloped headlong up the slopes of Oroduin and into the Cracks of Doom. As the horse and ring plunged into the fiery depths of the mountain, Shadowfax's madness left him, and his final thought before oblivion was of the green, grassy fields of Rohan.

Death of King Theoden: It had been a long ride from the Dwimmorburg, past the Druadan Forest of Ghan-Buri-Ghan and his wild men. But at last the Rohirrim, sons of Eorl, had arrived, and passed the Ranmas Echor that surrounded Minas Tirith in a protective embrace.
Down upon the Fields of the Pellennor he could see the Gondorians fighting for their lives, but not only for their own, for the lives of all free peoples of Middle Earth. For if Gondor should fall, there would be no refuge for men on Earth, and so too would the rest of the peoples of the world fall. Theoden was not stupid, though one could easily call him less sophisticated than the greater peoples. No, he was not a man of Westernesse, nor a Noldorian Elf out of the western sea. He was not even one of the Naugrim, the dwarves who live for centuries beneath their mountain strongholds. He was a man, descendent of the Edain from long ago, and yet a man of kingly wisdom and courage. His ancestors, great kings like Helm, Baldor and Brego, Fengal and his father Thengal, all held the same responsibility that Theoden did. He knew, as they did, it was his duty to protect his people, and to come to the aid of their distant brethren, the men of Gondor.
When he saw Minas Tirith under siege, he knew he would meet his death upon the walls of the great city. But that did not matter to him. The Rohirrim did not fear death, so long as that death is earned in the service of battle, in defense of their people. It didn't take long for his people to come to the same realization, and in that moment, a fierce anger and rage burned within their hearts. Their fire of spirit ignited upon their swords as they charged down the field. The pikes and poles of the orc army laid bare to smite their horses, but the union of horse and rider was too powerful, the Rohirrim had perfected a mastery of horsemanship, and no Morgul blade, no matter how fell, would unseat a Rohirric rider bearing down in such a rage.
Theoden led the charge, fearing no darkness, no beast, no blade. His army destroyed the front ranks, and drove deep into their lines before turning to reform. Eomer and his eored were far to the south by this time. Elfhelm and Hama were leading their eoreds against the bulk of the enemy ranks. That left Theoden with only a small number of personal guards when he saw them approach. Prince Imrahil issued forth from the broken gate of Minas Tirith and was immediately overrun by Haradrim and Easterling cavalry, the only horsemen the enemy was fielding.
Theoden rallied his men and charged the enemy, in hopes of freeing the Prince. His hope waned when he saw the White Swan banner slip, then fall to the ground. Herugrim cracked and screamed as he slew the enemy, knocking them from their horses. Quickly, Imrahil and his knights were freed and together they charged against the cavalry of the enemy. But they were surprised in that moment, and the captain of the Haradrim came to bear against them, knocking Theoden from Snowmane and killing his guards.
Theoden heard a great Rohirric horn wildly blowing in the distance, calling the Eorlingas back to help their king. But no horn could save him now. He heard Imhrail cry for his knights to rally to the King of Rohan, but that too was overlate. The captain of the Haradrim drew forth his fell sword and smote Theoden's shield, wounding him deeply. The captain smiled, but his lips were soon frozen by the cold bite of Herugrim, avenging his master's death. But it was too late, the Haradrim captain fell dead, but Theoden too was gone. Already he felt his spirit being called away by the Kings of old, and soon he slipped away from Middle Earth, ever remembered as the savior of Gondor and Rohan, a hero to all free peoples of Middle Earth.

Lyrhawn perhaps you could shorten your deaths... a little....( you sure are killing a lot of them)
I must say Lyrhawn, I rather enjoy your deaths. They are quite long, but quite eloquent. Though it will be a pain to try to put all of them together in one post at the end. haha.

Eomer -- Eowyn -- Galadriel ++ At this point my votes are a weird admixture of power, face time, and overall importance to Middle Earth.

Death of Galadriel:
Galadriel had known that the Ringbearer and the rest of the nine of the Fellowship would soon be passing through her domain. While all the Elves of Middle Earth knew that the Lord Celeborn was ruler of Lorien, the Noldorin Elves of Lothlorien knew who really wore the pants in that relationship, and it was the Lady Galadriel.
The Fellowship had spent many days in the trees of Caras Galadhon before Galadriel got around to meeting with Frodo. She would have met with him sooner, but there was a new mirror on ebay she had been bidding on, and you know how it is with those last minute bidders snaking something out from under you. She hated that.
But finally she met with him, and brough him before the Mirror of Galadriel. All around Frodo was the stream that ran through the small garden, which Galadriel used to fill her magical mirror. The mirror was her most prized posession, and coincidentally was also her first ebay purchase, making her a lifelong repeat customer.
After Frodo saw his vision, he offered The One Ring to Galadriel. Galadriel reached down under the mirror and flipped a switch, which turned on a scary Elven lights show that scared Frodo witless as she railed on about dark queens and melodramatic threats. Suddenly, in the middle of her speech, the lights went out. She flicked the switch off and on again, but no dice.
Frustratedly she bent over the mirror to examine the switch herself, but in doing so, she tipped over the pitcher used to fill the mirror with water. It fell over and drenched the switch in water, which proceeded to short out. Galadriel wasn't quick enough sadly, and caught her Ring of Power on the switch, electrocuting her to death.
I decided to make it short(er) and make an attempt at parody, rather than long and storylike. To appease those that didn't like the novel length deaths It could have been better, but I wanted to get it done today, and thus rushed it.

I stayed away from this for a while because I didn't like how people weren't following the "two --, one ++" rule, but now that we seem to be back on track I'll kill Eomer before anyone can save him!
Sam is rather important if I do say so myself. Not the out and out hero, but then I don't think there is one clear cut hero in the books. As is demonstrated by the closeness of this game. hehe

Death of Eowyn: Faramir commiting suicide, rather than come to the Houses of Healing, put a serious crimp in Eowyn's plans. First Aragorn rejects her for some Elvish chick, now Faramir's out of the picture. What does a Witch King slayer have to do to find a man?! Don't even talk to me about that brat Prince Imrahil. These were her thoughts as she wandered out of the gardens and onto the battlements, idly chewing some kingsfoil. So distracted was she that she didn't notice where she was going, tripped and fell from the top of the wall of the inmost circle of Minas Tirith, plunging hundreds of feet to her death.

Do Frodo's too. Ummm ... is it alright that I just voted for one person? Those are my two favorite characters in the books and movies so I want either to win. However, if someone thinks that it is necessary to vote for a total of three, my votes would be ++ Sam and -- Gandalf. So if I subverted the nature of the game, someone feel free to add those on. But if not, let the best man win.
Posted by SenojRetep (Member # 8614) on :
Now that we're at two, I think a single -- is in order:
Sam 3 Gandalf 3
Sam -- (Evens things up, and I would sincerely prefer Gandalf to win)
This likely being my last vote, I just want to say that I really enjoyed the game. Thanks to everyone who made it fun.

Curses, with Aragorn dead I really don't care who wins.

Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :
Lyrrhawn, why don't you do Frodo and Aragorns death? The game can't end with the dead hanging in limbo like this.
Posted by Omega M. (Member # 7924) on :
Gandalf 3 Sam -1 (dead)
-- Sam
Finally. Someone else can kill him.
Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :
Yes, I definately nominate Lyrhawn to finish off the deaths. Make it a good one. Congradulations Gandalf!

If there are no objections...
The Death of Frodo and Aragorn:
Boromir was gone. Aragorn looked around wildly, trying to remember the last time he'd seen the man of Gondor, but it appeared he had been missing for some time. All at once the Fellowship charged off into the woods to look for him, not heeding Aragorn's warning. Aragorn knew where to look though, and headed towards the seat of kings, the seat of vision in the old ruins not far from the shore. There he saw Frodo fall off the ruins and land with a crunch. Frodo was freaked out of course from the run in with Boromir, but deep down he trusted Aragorn, Strider who had led them from the woods to Rivendell and beyond.
Aragorn asked where the Ring was, and Frodo held it aloft. Aragorn saw it and kneeled down in front of Frodo. He then snatched the Ring from Frodo and put it on. His plan to lull Frodo into a false sense of security had finally born fruit and the stupid little Halfling had fallen for it. Aragorn was now master of the ring. Behind him he heard Uruk-Hai approaching, but he cared not. They moved in and easily dispatched Frodo, no longer the Ringbearer.
Aragorn pranced around the forest with glee, and saw Boromir running towards Pippin and Merry who were about to be ambushed by Uruk Hai. Aragorn ran past him and taunted him about not being able to get the ring from Frodo then ran past him. He meant to make for the Rauros and using the Elven boats head down the Anduin to Minas Tirith, where he would take command of Gondor. Finally he made it to the river and jumped in a boat. But boats of Elven make were loathe to allow evil into their midst, and sensing the plan in Aragorn's mind and the ring on his hand, it capsized. Aragorn fell into the water, wondering just what it was about this stupid ring and kings of Gondor dying in rivers. At that moment, the Ring let losse a high piercing wail.
The One Ring: IM OVER HERE!
Aragorn was dismayed at the sound and attempted to swim away, but like his ancestor Isildur, the ring betrayed him and slipped from his finger, and Uruk Hai arrived just at that moment to slay Aragorn with many arrows. The Ring passed down the Anduin and out into the Bay of Belfalas, ensuring Sauron could never be defeated for the Ring would never be found, and the last descendent of the Kings of Gondor was lost forever.
Incidentally, an act of gullibility in the Shire is often now called "Pulling a Frodo" for example, when two little Hobbits were in school, one said to the other "Gullible is written on the ceiling" and the other looked up to see it, the first Hobbit said "Dude, you're such a Frodo." And so it was until the end of time.

I know I still claimed Eomer, which I will post tonight. But is there anyone else you want me to do? Assuming there are no objections from anyone else, I know there were a couple who didn't like my style of killing people, so I won't be offended if anyone doesn't want me to do these last ones.
