Balin +1 =2
Gollum-1 =7

That explains the large burned-out area.
Replanting is pointless.
This is going to require a hazmat suit and an excavator.

Okay, time to wrap this up somewhat.

Balin = 2-3 = ELIMINATED
Gollum = 7+1 = 8
Lord of the Eagles = 9

(Malick doesn't seem interested in using the -3 option, but I have no such compunctions.)

Post the current score!

Gollum 5
Lord of Eagles 10.

I'm all for keeping this exciting.

Gollum 5+1 = 6
Lord of Eagles 10-3 = 7

Technically I don't think you can play again until 2 others have played, but I like your reasoning so I'll make that move for you Halfy.

Gollum 5+1 = 6
Lord of Eagles 10-3 = 7

Oh, I have to wait for 2 others to play?  Awright. This means it's my turn now, but you already played for me, and I'm only interested in jumping in when things get unbalanced.

Gollum +1=7
Lord Of Eagles -1=6.

Holy cripes, it's all gone to madness while I'm away!

No worries, I'll tally the score for the TWENTIETH time!  

Goodbye to Bilbo! (Killed by Eldo the traitor!)





Farewell Gandalf! (Grrr, Petty!)





Don't take it personally dear Balin!    (Halfwise how could you!)

I'm still confused about scoring, but I'll just roll with it.

Well I'm certainly not going to knock off the Lord of Eagles. I could never face my neighborhood eagles again (and they have very long memories )

So I guess by Forest's scoring it's:
LotE +1=3
Gollum -3=6

{{you still wanna balance things Halfy? This would be the time. }}

LotE 3+1 = 4
Gollum 6 -3 = 3

Though I think Forest's scoring was off:  After Malick we HAD Gollum 7 LotE 6
So Forest should have been Gollum 7+1 = 8  LotE 6 -3 = 3
Then Dave would be Gollum 8-3 = 5 LotE 3+1 = 4
Then I'd have left things alone.

So if my counting is right (and Forest's was wrong) I'd leave things be as

Gollum 8-3 =5
LotE 3+1 = 4

{{{{Gollum - 3
LoE + 1 }}}

Gollum, the least-disappointing portion of An Unexpected Journey. - Forest

So by Halfy's count, that's:
Gollum 2
LotE 5

And by Forest's count:
Gollum 0
LotE 5

I'll take MY count.

Gollum: 2+1 = 3
LotE: 5-3 = 2

Looks like I'm jumping in too soon again. Dave can you step in and do the honors?

My pleasure!

Gollum: 2+1 = 3
LotE: 5-3 = 2

Lord of the Eagles +1 (3)
Gollum -3 (0) ELIMINATED

WE HAVE A WINNER!!

Hot dog!
