The Great Troll Debate

[Piranha]

After the Response in This Thread and me Being sick and tired of the term "Goblin" :-X I decided to do a little poll/debate

Later to the close the poll is a Special EB edition Comic Made by yours Truly( :-P )

TLC calls them "Troll Warriors" which I think is PERFECT however some members(I won't mention names)*Cough*Shakar*cough*( :-D )refer to them as Goblins.(Ugh *n* )

Finally I am reffering to this minifig

The Green one that is :-D

Due Hinckley's request and Me being a Bully I made a List of people who will be in my comic for voting against me in a Biased Poll :-P

-Hinckley(this gives me an idea

-Mr.Mandalorian

-SupremeCommanderGrievous

-SW4J

-Batbrick

-Sinner(I must obtain a walrus)

-iamded

-ImperialShadows(Oh I remember your sigfig)

Rest Assured I have all of your Sigfigs :-D

Oh and Don't Vote for Troll Warrior just becuase this is a biased poll,just remember you will be punished rewarded for your choice

:-D

So Begin the Debate!!!

(Oh and Vote for Troll Warrior)

Finally I'm only Joking about the Biased thing,I like all the others but I just happen to prefer it more becuase its TLC offical term

I say troll warriors because thats exactly what they are! ;-)

[SupremeCommmanderGrievous]

I almost like Troll Warrior (sorry Piranha) but I think I like orcs better. They look more like orcs to me than anything else and I have been calling them orcs ever since we first saw them. Besides, Orcs is easier to say than "Troll Warrior"

[Corvus]

I prefer the term GOBLIN. :-P

Troll warrior seems to fit the big guys much better in my opinion.

[Hinckley]

Good thing this is a completely unbiased poll. :-|

I would have to categorize this poll as un-scientific since you insult the people who choose differently than you. Why don't you just be a true bully and threaten to give anyone who votes for anything but option 1 a swirlie?

:-P

I voted for Goblin because I like the word "Boo!" :-P :-P

Darn thats such a good idea *sweet* I love it!!

:-P

I voted for Goblin because I like the word "Boo!" :-P :-P

Well I had you mind when I did that :-D

And look how you repay me!! :-P

I almost like Troll Warrior (sorry Piranha) but I think I like orcs better

I'm sorry your vote must be deleted on the fact that this is a "BIASED POLL!!!"

I voted Goblin.

Troll worrier? I picture trolls as being short, hairy, and husky.

Ogre? I picture them as being large...

Goblin? No problems there...small, green, and oogly

Orc? It's basically LotR for goblin...

[SirNadroj]

Now that I look they are vey 'goblin' esk. Espeically when comparing these 'trolls' to the HP troll ~ sand green vs. sand blue! X-D

good point hink. I was going to say the same thing myself. Especially since today i presented a study on religion for my psychology class and as part of the study we distributed a survey we made to a number of classes in the school. Ours was probably one of the least biased goups.

I voted for orc but i was leaning towards troll warrior and may have picked goblin if the poll wasnt so biased.

[Batbrick]

You're all losers, the lot of you! :-P

Especially Piranha for such biased remarks! I hate biased things! :-P

Now, no matter what any of you say or how this poll ends up I am right, orc suits them because:

a) It is easy to write

b) trolls are usually huge, goblins are almost always frail, and ogres are also always large. orc fits perfect because they are human sized.

c) this is a LOTR ripoff anyway, so orc goes in!

d) I'm right and no one can disprove me!

So thats the case gentlemen, the logic is undeniable, orc it is, close the thread! X-D

PS: I HATE BIAST OPINIONS! *n*

TTFN! >:-)

[iamded]

<Sniff sniff>

What smells like hypocrite? :-P

I'm going with goblins, as that's what I had already settled with after a long debate with myself. Now, make a thread for the larger goblins, or as I call them, the trolls! No I don't. I call them ogres. Hey, you listen here, they're trolls! Well, the green ones may be, but the dark tan one is definitely an ogre! Ah, touch

[bj McBrick]

okay so i just read this thread and its actually the thing made me actually take the time to sign up so that i could throw my opinion out there. i completely agree with BatBrick. well maybe not that you're all losers, but that the orcs (or troll warriors, for you biased people) are stollen right from Tolkien. the entire premise of the new sets is LOTR, think about it dwarves, orcs, ogres, etc. it really sounds like TLC watched a movie and said hey theres a good idea but they didn't want to try to buy a license (thank god cause that would jack the price and result in more fleshies) so they changed things just enough so that they could get the point across with out getting their butts sued. whatever i guess it doesn't really matter to me but if i would have to explain them to some one i would def just say that they are like orcs from LOTR

[ZeekyBoogeyDoog]

I figure the giant dude is the troll, and I like the word "orc", so I voted orc.

:-D :-D :-D Welcome bj McBrick! Bliebe, reste, stay! This is what brought you out of lurking? 8-| Well, I'm glad to see you here and participating in this important discussion! :-D Weclome at Eurobricks, buddy! *sweet*

[hollisbrick]

Troll or orc :-/ hmmm? definatley one of them definately not the other ones.

EDIT: BTw welcome bj McBrick

[Batbrick]

Welcome bj McBrick! Don't worry about agreeing with me, everyone does, I'm the TOP dog around here.

Okay, I'm just being a jerk making self parody jokes :-D

But don't worry, orcs ARE the right choice no matter what and anyone who says otherwise is a biased hypocrite!

We could just make up a new name for them 8-| ..............

TTFN! >:-)

[zz-80]

Definetly an Orc! Enough said! :-P

Don't you recognize an Orc when you see one?

[LuxorV]

I go for Goblin, cause Orcs should be bigger and...

this is a Goblin

while this is an Orc

Those from Dwarves' Mine and so on look more like Goblins to me :-$ .

LuxorV

[Sir Norman Ray]

They are Orcs, because Goblins are tiny little creatures where as Orcs are human sized. An Orc is a formidable warrior, a Goblin is a little runt then you can kick away.

[Hinckley]

:-/ the bottom line is-they are your toys and you can play with them however you want to... :-)

[LuxorV]

Indeed, you wise Whacker *sad*

LuxorV

[Shadows]

They are Orcs, because Goblins are tiny little creatures where as Orcs are human sized. An Orc is a formidable warrior, a Goblin is a little runt then you can kick away.

Exactly why I voted for Orc as well. *y*

In most fantasy literature (most notably LOTR) trolls are essentially described as big oversized brutes, whereas orcs are depicted as being roughly human sized. Not only that, "orc & troll" are just easier to say or type than "troll warrior & giant troll". So I completely agree with Batbrick on all accounts... even the fourth one this time! :-D

P.S. Seeing which way the poll is going, I'd say most agree with Batbrick and myself.

[Sir Norman Ray]

There was propaganda? I just voted because thats what I see them as. I'm a veteran of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 damnit! I know what an Orc/Ork is! It's a human sized green killing machine!

And Hinckley, I'm telling the teacher on you for trying to insert logic! :'-(
