I'd be hesitant to call Thorin a character, more of a grumpy cliched archetype

Ahem, still waiting on somebody else to post. Unlike SOME people, I don't violate the rules!

I don't think those figures are right. Gandalf was at six in Forest's last summary, then Dave gave him a point, but then Malick deducted from him. Even though Malick typed "-1", according to the rules change from a while back it should have been -3, which would put Gandalf at four.
Did the totals in your post also reflect your addition and subtraction of points, halfy? It looks like you gave one point back to Gandalf but I can't tell who (if anyone) you meant to subtract from, though that might be me missing something obvious cause I have a splitting headache right now.
Lord of the Eages +1 (10)
Gandalf -3 (1 or 2?)

So that would be
Balin: 7
Gollum: 10
Lord of the Eagles: 11
Unless I'm missing points that halfy deducted, though I'm not seeing where they would've come off...

Yes, Gandalf should have been 6, not 7. If you force Malick to take off 3 then he'd be at 4.

As I count it, my +1 made it Gandalf 7.
Malick's -1 made it Gandalf 6 (or maybe 4)
Eldo's -3 made it Gandalf 3 (or maybe 1)
Petty's -3 made it Gandalf 0 (or maybe -2)
Either way he's been smote.
Malick's -1 made it Gandalf 6 (or maybe 4)
Eldo's -3 made it Gandalf 3 (or maybe 1)
Petty's -3 made it Gandalf 0 (or maybe -2)

BTW, near the top of the page you subtracted 1 yourself.

Right you are. 
Fortunately Forest adjusted for my sleep-deprived mistake (made shortly after coming back from the con) in his next summary post.

The way things currently stand are:
Contestants:
Balin: 7
Gollum: 10
Lord of the Eagles: 11
Eliminated:
Bard
Beorn
Bilbo
Bolg
Bombur
Dain
Elrond
Fili
Gandalf
Great Goblin
Kili
Master of Lake-town
Roac
Smaug
Thorin
Thranduil
Thrush
Any of y'all can keep the game going, but since Petty and I were the last two people to play we have to wait to post again (since the rules state that each player must wait for two intervening posts to have been made before going again).
