Can I change the title to Lord of the Forums? I just think it's more catchy.

Let me hand my ring of power to you and you can...

Frodo couldn't be trusted, he had to have his finger bitten off.

Pipe down, Boromir. He's still better than the rest of us.

 

[Anti Globalist]

I don't know enough about the LOTR series to even guess who I'd be.

I was suggesting that Occam's Banana deserves a better character NOT that he couldn't be trusted.

In spite of those issues on which we disagree I like Occam's.

LOL a really tall dwarf.

It's not just about looks, it's about attitude. I think you would be a Bilbo.

While I definitely am a fan of Tolkien's overall message, I read The Hobbit in HS and found reading it to be a real chore, so I never read any of the others. Saw the movies once each but am not even close to familiar enough with them to figure who I might best be represented by. Maybe I'll give the movies another watch and try carving through the books again to see if time has changed my perspective.

This may help. According to this chart, I'm an Arwen. I don't remember her doing much in the books besides giving up immortality to marry Aragorn. I liked her in the movie version, though.

Because I advocate for the end of big government and I don't go around using it against people who don't use it against me first.

You may believe what you wish about me but I follow my beliefs even when they don't personally benefit me.

Just because you identify as Sam doesn't mean you are, Boromir.

Just because you identify as Sam doesn't mean you are, Boromir.

Just because you call me Boromir doesn't make it so.

I'm Boba Fett.

I see Hallmark had Boba Fett ornaments this year

Depending on the day and mood, Gandalf or Elrond.

Years back playing D&D I was a Half Elf,half hobbit Thief. Chaotic Good..

edit,
One who did not survive a Balrog.

Then Bilbo sounds about right.

Your chart is clearly wrong. Gandalf didn't ride an oliphant.

Yes it does.

Why should I believe you would act differently as a government official? It has been my experience (with every few exceptions) that becoming a government official brings out the worst in people.

Since we're talking literature, there is an appropriate quote...

When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

 

[Swordsmyth]

Yes it does.

LOL

That may be how you think but it's not how I think, I have often chosen the right thing even though it was personally disadvantageous.

 

[PursuePeace]

I've only actually watched the old 70's cartoon versions.
My character changes depending on the day.
I'm feeling a bit "Balrog"-ey enduring all this gross and bizarre GHWB-worship everywhere you look.

 

[TheCount]

Of course; as a statist, you wish for government to do things on your behalf that you are - for reasons we can speculate upon - unwilling or unable to do yourself. In this regard, calling you Boromir is inaccurate, because Boromir would have taken the ring himself and attempted to win the last battle himself.

Let's be honest, you aren't in line to charge the Black Gate.

There is a more apt character who could not or would not take action on his own, but needed others to act for him:

Well, after studying the chart, Gandalf actually comes the closest... less the wizard stuff... maybe a cross between him & Jerry Garcia.
