Congratulations to Roberta for being the most likely to deliver the One Ring to Mount Doom!

Round 4

Propaganda for Isabella:

She is trustworthy and able to travel well and achieve her goals, she could get to Mordor. I don't think very much could tempt her other than securing her kingdom back for her parents.

Isabella would be so bad at it. She's boromir. She wants to protect her country her people her family; that's why she starts out lying to galavant. The ring would have such an easy time corrupting her.

Propaganda for Roberta:

She's strong and gets things done and is good at travelling and making friends so the getting-into-Mordor-and-befriending-Gollum bits are simple. She also doesn't seem to aspire to much in life, happy to just help others and have a nice time, so tempting her would be hard.

Suggestion for next tournament: most likely to escape from Dracula's Castle?

It could be fun but I don't think it's really related to the show enough; Game of Thrones and LOTR are parodied or referenced a few times in the show so there's that connection but I can't think of anything to Dracula. If you have any interest in running it though feel free and I'll reblog something to let people know about it!

Propaganda for Galavant:

Could gain Gollum's trust and could definitely do the work to get to Mount Doom. Wants a pretty simple life, so wouldn't be the easiest to tempt.

Round 3

Propaganda for Sid:

Sid would make it to Mount Doom for sure. He has Samwise Gamgee energy

Sid is competent and has lots of friends and is good at sneaking about (see: time he was lost for several episodes while solving all kinds of problems behind the scenes for everyone). He wants recognition and to be a knight but isn't blinded by ambition ever. Probably the ring would be able to tempt him but it would be hard.

Round 2

Propaganda for Isabella:

Propaganda for Gwynne:

Could probably get Gollum to help her since she's charming. Likely resourceful enough for sneaky travelling. Could maybe be tempted by the death of aristocracy but generally her wants in life are so low-key that she'd be hard to tempt.

Round 2

Propaganda for Gareth:

Might be hard to gain the trust of Gollum but he could do the rest of the work to get to Mordor. Could be tempted with women or the promise of a war.

Propaganda for Galavant:

Could gain Gollum's trust and could definitely do the work to get to Mount Doom. Wants a pretty simple life, so wouldn't be the easiest to tempt.

Propaganda for Tad Cooper:

In bearded dragon form he could maybe be smuggled into Mordor by a buddy but Richard's not the most capable man. As a dragon he could just fly in, stealth and need for directions be damned. Dragons in Middle Earth are notoriously difficult to kill so he wouldn't be in much danger. As a dragon though he probably couldn't carry the ring unless he could carry someone on his back and they carry the ring. He doesn't seem to want much from life though other than to look out for loved ones so tempting him would be hard.

Round 2

Propaganda for the monks:

I don't think they can be stealthy (read: vow of singing.) and I don't think they're very competent and they'd not be the easiest to corrupt with promises of power and stuff but I don't think they'd get far enough for it to matter.

A point in the monks' favor: singing doesn't stop somebody from sneaking into Mordor! Sam and Frodo sing together while in Mordor in a tower filled with orcs and they make it

Propaganda for Sid:

Sid would make it to Mount Doom for sure. He has Samwise Gamgee energy

I’ll be honest, I don’t think any of these people are making it to Mordor.

Not alone at least, in all likelihood.

[galavant-song-tournament]

Honestly I’m convinced that the only way that ring is getting to mount doom is through the power trio of Sid/gareth/vincenzo.

Gareth is really against magic for power, and he can be the muscle. Chance of temptation or giving it to Madalena though.

Vincenzo doesn’t appear to have any ambitions tbh, I think he has the least chance of being tempted but also he’s frail so unlikely he’d make it there on his own.

Sid does have heroic ambitions but the ring can’t really tempt him when the way to achieve those ambitions….is to destroy the ring. He’s been the excluded guy the whole time so bonus points for filling that thematic niche. He’d even out Gareth and Vincenzo, helping to keep them going and on track.

(Isabela/gwynne/galavant are far too likely to go the boromir route tbh, plus Isabella and galavant are too much of Main Characters to fit that thematic niche.)

I think that could totally work!

[galavant-song-tournament]

I will avoid saying anything biased but I'd just like to post this because I think the fanon version of Gwynne is not very accurate to her canonical characterization and that may be affecting how people vote. Ofc if you want to vote according to fanon or your own interpretations of characters you have every right to do that.

But anyway it seems to be a popular idea that Gwynne is power-hungry and would take the opportunity to rule a/all kingdoms if given the chance. And absolutely she's not sitting passively by (except in s2 :/ ) and is taking an active role in politics and making the world more to her liking, but that only manifests in her wanting to kill all the aristocracy to create a more equal society without the poor being taken constant advantage of, and then going off to live her cottagecore dream away from politics and power and all that. I think she's willing to go live on a farm in s2 because she has nothing better to do and isn't being actively oppressed by the class system like in s1 (and she's not living under such horrible rulers as Richard and Madalena, so probably feels less of a need to correct the system since it's working OK), so if she were still in that same position probably things would be different. So it's not like there are no circumstances under which she's be persuaded to do political things but it's certainly not a main goal for her in life.
