Well, it was another glorious month of voting. And also one that was tinged with sadness for me. TORC's illustrious moderating team has informed me, in roughly as many words, that "your little spamfest has gone on quite long enough". After nearly six years and many, many incarnations, the Man/Woman of the Month thread will finally be coming to an end.
I remember when this thread was still in its earliest incarnations, when anyone who got there first could post the next thread. I tried repeatedly, for several months, to be that person, and failed each time. Finally I did it, and it became my de facto job. Now, I can't imagine this thread in any other way.
It seems fitting, then, that with this game's final month, that the winner comes full circle, and takes home the trophy for the second time, the first being in the very first month this game was played. It also seems fitting that for the first time in this game, we actually have a tie. We've come close several times, but always had a clear winner. And now, at last, we get two winners for the price of one.
For the last time:
ARAGORN and HALDIR with 10!!!
Turin with 8
Frodo with 8
Bilbo with 7
Rosie with 5
Legolas with 4
Nessa with 4
Maedhros with 3
Gandalf with 3
Galadriel with 3
Merry with 3
Tom Bombadil with 2
Thorin with 2
Gimli with 2
Gwaihir with 2
Pippin with 2
Shadowfax with 2
Radagast with 2
Lorien with 2
Barliman Butterbur with 2
Luthien with 2
The Gaffer with 2
and the following with one vote apiece:
Treebeard
Ulmo
Elrond
The Balrog
Bob the Balrog
Arwen
Manwe
Saruman
Pallando
Grima
Maglor
Mayer Will Whitfoot
