I don't understand why it's so important to subtract from two and only add to one--are we in any kind of hurry? It's going to limit the game significantly.

--Arwen: for being... well... almost totally non-existant in the book (What Aragorn is getting married!?! When did this happen!?!) and being a whiney brat in the movie. ++ Sam: Deffinition of Dedication: See Gamgee, Samwise --Isildur: It's his fault we're in this mess to begin with.

Let us remember Denethor... Ruling Steward of Gondor. It was he who ordered the lighting of the beacons...he who stabalized the military and defenses of Gondor from the mismagangement of his predecessors...he who ordered the successful sortie that saved the retreating army from the Rammas Echor.
All hail Denethor!

I also think we should play this one like the Harry Potter game. We're in no rush. If we want to place any restrictions, how about there has to be at least one -- so someone can't ++ all three votes. But there's no need to force -- on people.

Balrog ++ (I'm sure you would be a bit irritable too if you had to walk around encased in flame. Poor misunderstood Balroggy-woggy.) Shadowfax -- (Stupid horse.) Isildur -- (Isn't he dead yet?)

(Psst. You're supposed to add or subtract two points at a time, not one. The points should always be odd numbers, not even numbers. Therefore, your Balrog should be at 21, not 20, Bilbo 13, Saruman 3.)

++ Pippin, because I will always love the comic relief -- Arwen, because Liv Tyler can't act -- Balrog, because the phrase "Balroggy-woggy" just frightens me.
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.

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.

oops, I thought people were using ++ and -- in the programming sense. I'll go back and fix mine.

++ Saruman- Too cool to die. ++ Isildur- Darted forth and cut the Ring from Sauron's finger - Arwen Not atractive enough to be an elf

Not attractive enough to be an Elf? You sir have thrown down a gauntlet!
We are after all talking about the woman the Gimli admitted was more beautiful than Galadriel, and is widely considered to be the most beautiful woman in all of Middle Earth.

Which is what makes it so incomprehensible to me that they chose Liv Tyler to play her part.
Now, Sophie Marceau... she would at leat have been slightly less laughable in the role. Although I admit I'm having a little trouble picturing her with pointy ears.

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.
For the parts she was there for, I didn't mind it all that much. Despite the fact that she kidnapped Glorfindel and buried him somewhere, I liked her part in the first movie, it was cool.

++ Shadowfax (The scene in the movie where he appears always gives me cold shivers. With out fail) -- Rosie Cotton (Barely a character in the book, and she has maybe one line in the movie) -- Isildur (Stupid git)

It's a game, and games are supposed to be fun. Besides, We all know now that there's only going to be one winner. Why can't people try to build up their favorites instead of tearing down others?

++ Gandalf: Most responsible for fighting Sauron -- Isildur: Still blame for everything -- Saruman: I got firt kill, WOOT!
Departed to Valinor in the West (or the Void to keep Melkor company) ---------------------------------------------- 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.

++ Arwen. I don't really like her all that much, but I think that she deserves to outlast some of the others on the list. -- Smeagol. He had the ring all of ten minutes before becoming a murderer. -- Mouth of Sauron. How much more of an underling can you get than to actually become known by your title and your boss's name?

Wormtongue -- (Join your master.) Arwen -- (Running after Wormtongue, eh?) Gollum ++ (Root for the bad guys!)
Eowyn gets sick of Wormtongue stalking her all the time and ties his tongue to a tree, where he eventually dies of dehydration.

- - Legolas. Let's not lie. All the plus votes are just screaming fangirls (okay, so I look up his tunic in TT, guilty), but he's not really that interesting. In the books he just kindof sings and runs fast and occasionally is amusing when he and Gilmli talk. But that's more Gimli.
+Smeagol. Poor tortured Smeagol! He has a good heart. He deserved better. Gandalf says so. +Samwise. Everyone needs a Samwise in their life.

Arwen ++ What does everyone have against her? Everytime she's in the movie there's a gorgeous song playing. Shelob -- Evil spider must die! Witch King --

I motion that when someone puts even numbers up there, whoever notices it fixes and by rounding DOWN. A punishment for those who don't read the rules carefully enough. (I did it for Smeagol and Sam, even though I love those two guys. For Gads sake people, follow the directions! *begins weeping at the injustices of the world*)

++ Faramir - by far the most handsom character in the movies -- Frodo - for being a whiny brat -- Shelob - because huge spiders scare me (I agree with Ron in this case)

Not true. We already killed off Denethor. But here's the kill list so far:
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 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 and 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.

I've subtracted Rabbit's and my points. Folks, let's copy and paste the whole the points into our posts and the deaths too until they get cumbersome. This is too confusing and I don't know who's been killed already.
-- Witch King ++ Sam -- Bilbo (cause he bugs me)
