Guys I'm really sorry for holding up the proceedings yet again. Work is extremely hectic this time of year and I've just been to drained for absolutely anything else.

I've got another 10-hour shift today. Please bear with me... I'll get caught up then!

Really sorry guys for holding things up for so long. The end of the year is always ridiculously busy for me; added to the normal chaos was the return of my best friend from the Navy and I was trying to spend as much time with him as I could. *and* a coworker quit which made work even more stressful than it usually is.

Blegh. It's 2009 now and all of that crap is behind me. I voted. Be happy!

Pretty close round, there. Sorry GoG - but you're out this round.

Let's give some

to the lucky Dwarf that won this round, too! Congrats, Dain!

Anyways, your next lore is a little more up to you to choose - I'd like you to pick part of this section of RotK:

From all his policies and webs of fear and treachery, from all his stratagems and wars his mind shook free; and throughout his realm a tremor ran, his slaves quailed, and his armies halted, and his captains suddenly steerless, bereft of will, wavered and despaired. For they were forgotten. The whole mind and purpose of the Power that wielded them was now bent with overwhelming force upon the Mountain. At his summons, wheeling with a rending cry, in a last desperate race there flew, faster than the winds, the Nazgûl the Ringwraiths, and with a storm of wings they hurtled southwards to Mount Doom.

I can see a few different cards in that one. Just cut it up appropriately.

menace64 · « **Reply #83 on:** January 28, 2009, 09:09:39 PM »

As usual, I let other things get in the way. I'm entering now!

Elf_Lvr · « **Reply #84 on:** February 06, 2009, 08:39:28 PM »

I still need a card from someone. I think it's Dain.

Well post them quickly! I need this round to be over before I can post one of my cards from Light & Shadow!

This is the first day in weeks I've had the change to be online for an extended period of time, sorry. Why can't school get closed any more?

Let voting commence. It'll mostly just continue until I get votes from all the contestants, but I'll bug you a lot if I don't have 'em by Sunday.

Thranduil · « **Reply #88 on:** February 23, 2009, 03:25:59 PM »

How many are we voting for?

Thranduil

Elf_Lvr · « **Reply #89 on:** February 25, 2009, 06:54:05 PM »

I suppose you should still vote for your top 3, besides yourself. I'll probably change the voting format for next round.
