I don't have much confidence in Thanduil, but at least I can hope.
You don't have confidence? This is the first time I've ever really let this contest down. I've delayed a couple of days, maybe a week in the past, but never this long. I'm hurt!
So anyway.... I look back and realise the 9th round began on the 13th April.
My excuse is going to be exams. So there!
And waiting a month has not in any way reduced my excitement for this round and the final results of the contest!
I was always disappointed that there was no unified strategy for these two and their lackeys – not even one that represented their antagonism. Very unimpressive. (Of course I chose the RotK Gorbag over the MD one because he is much less cool.)
For the
FINAL ROUND, I thought we could make both cards so that we have a chance to truly show off what we envisage the Cirith Ungol strategy to look like.
Let me restate the rules for this contest. You should make
both of the above cards. Any particular comments I have will be underlined below.
Your card should:
1) Have the
same title (with a (V) attached to the end)2) Have the
same twilight cost and culture.
3) Have whatever
attributes or attribute modifiers you think appropriate.
4) Have a
different text, maybe similar, but could also be on completely different lines.
What I want you to focus on is how you think the two halves of the Cirith Ungol garrison should work (or perhaps, how they shouldn't?). Then see if you can embody your ideas on these two cards so that just looking at them will immediately give readers a sense of the strategy.5) Have a lore which you want, it's really up to you - you can keep the same lore or put in your own, it doesn't really matter.
So your cards should look quite a lot like this:
•
Gorbag, Lieutenant of Cirith Ungol (V) 
Type • Sub-type
Strength: +X
Vitality: +Y
Site Number: +Z
Game text.
"Lore text."7 V 180
•
Shagrat, Captain of Cirith Ungol (V) 
Type • Sub-type
Strength: +X
Vitality: +Y
Site Number: +Z
Game text.
"Lore text."10 V 99
I like to leave a week for entries to come in, so the deadline will be at midnight GMT on
Friday 4th June. A few days before, if you've said that you want to participate and haven't given me an entry, I will be pestering you via PM, so do get them in as quickly as possible!
Entries should be submitted to me by PM (or email if you prefer).
So all that remains for me to say now is, good luck!
Thranduil
