New Ringheroes

[Leri_weill]

Hello everyone.

Edain Mod is getting better and better with every release, everyone knows it. But according to a recent poll on this forum, 95% of the players want some more ringheroes to be added to the game (the 5 other % were not able to read).
This is why I chose 5 heroes among the mightiest in Tolkien's mythology during the 3rd Age, so we can debate about concepts for each of them.

Please make well-argued answers, as this might be one of the hardest choices the ET will have to face. I know it is gonna be a tough debate, because every hero mentionned deserves the ring. I hope this poll doesn't get too messy.

Have a nice day Edainers

While this is a valid proposal I do have several issues with what you are proposing. If you don't mind I'll address the issues one by one.

But according to a recent poll on this forum

Link? Screenshot? Making up statistics is too easy nowadays, you know what they say "pics or it didn't happen" 

5 heroes among the mightiest in Tolkien's

I do have some concerns about your list since it seems that your pick follows no particular order. Fili? Why not kili or both? same thing for Orophin.  Also I believe, personally, that those are definitely not the top five non-ring hero mightiest heroes. I'm sorry but honestly most of these heroes would probably be crushed by the ring, apart from Bilbo who has shown he is able to hold up quite well. Hwaldar would become nothing but a wraith, beregond would be perverted worse then Boromir. Orophin would probably be vaporized the moment he puts it on 

As for the new Ring heroes concept, Gondor already has 2, Bilbo and Fili are in the same faction and overall just why these particular heroes which are quite low ranked and cheap.
Overall a valid proposal but with a concept I don't see as ending up on anything. Most the thing about Ring heroes in the Edain Mod is how unique they are, adding more and more ring-heroes would just kill that uniqueness out. I think that your case might have been easier to argue with had it not looked like you had just picked heroes out of a hat. Strictly from a debating point of view I am formally against this proposal.

Captain! I got one ! It's pretty big

Well, this is a very well thought out concept, eventhough I, myself, thought about some different heroes. I'll just list them down here, perhaps you like them more:
 - Aragorn
 - Pippin
 - Rumil
 - Imrahil
 - Legolas

Exactly those and in exactly this order would make a brilliant addition to Edain!

This thread makes me terribly uncomfortable 
Today, though, I will be merciful

Can't believe I fell for that. I should have known better

No Haldir=Worst Poll in History   

Here would be my 5 Heroes I'd like to see as Ring Heroes

-Haldir (of course )
-The Orc that says "But Nothing Can Breach it!" in the films.
-Rhosgobel Rabbits
-Batman
-Gimli, because he needs a leap that can go across the whole map. 

This thread makes me terribly uncomfortable

Yes, I'm uncomfortable that he did not add Haldir to the poll as well.

[Fine]

Give the Ring to Tom Bombadil.
That is all.

Don't worry, Hamanathnath, I will edit the poll.
It's in these pivotal situations that a Moderator has to show up and stick to the purest moderating principles 

Give the Ring to Tom Bombadil.
That is all.

He will just lose it and forget about it.
Just send it to Valinor 

[Fine]

Just send it to Valinor 

Those who live beyond the Sundering Sea would not accept it. It belongs to Middle-earth, for better or worse, and will share ist fate.

[Hamanathnath]

Thank you for adding Haldir to the poll. 

I passed the Test.  I will go into the West, and remain Hamanathnath.

Fine...
I know this 

You don't know how much it cost me to write that.
My Varda Avatar is mourning 

[Fine]

I'm just teasing you

Still, not all answers will be found in Valinor.

In French we've got an expression which says "Plus c'est gros, plus ça passe". I don't know how to translate it properly but you could say "The bigger/more unbelievable it [the joke] is, the easier people think it is real". The fact is, it works very well

More seriously I could think about some heroes getting the ring like Aragorn, Legolas, Thorin, Haldir of course  , or Thranduil. But I wouldn't create a post just to say "I WANT MORE RINGHEROES JUST GIVE US RINGHEROES PLZ"

There are threads like that in this forum, and, unfortunately, it was not April's Fool day when they were created. Especially, if you browse the Dwarven Section, you will find some 

Nevertheless, this topic won't have a long future.
I will close the thread after midnight (Central European Time).
Until that moment, you are free to express your unspeakable sense of desperation and sorrow for such a loss for the Edain Community
