I’m with you, it’s a great deal of fun having a little lore pull with the humor.

Someone teach OP what an unpopular opinion is because they don't know.

u/Arkell-v-Pressdram Jan 20 '23

The bots add flavour to the sub, even the ones from other franchises. Isn't that right, Bobby B?

DRINK AND STAY QUIET, THE KING IS TALKING!

u/Comfortable_Sort_503 Jan 20 '23

I agree. The bots and the whole Grond drama is why I visit this sub

A little bit of anarchy is fun.

Too bad there isn’t a bot for Faenor

Bring with you your swords!

Gandalf bot! What say you to this love?

u/gandalf-bot Jan 20 '23

Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of love and kindness.

This might be the best bot answer to this post. Exactly right

Saruman and Grond best bots

u/Saruman_Bot Istari Jan 20 '23

Gibbits and crows! Dotard! What do you want, ThatMrDuck? Let me guess. The key of Orthanc? Or perhaps the keys of Barad-Dur itself? Along with the crowns of the seven kings and the rods of the five wizards?

Feanor bot >>>

Hail Saruman the Bot, Saruman of Many Colours! Hail! May the Lord of Isengard rule Endor and Arda!

u/Saruman_Bot Istari Jan 20 '23

Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard ... and Mordor?

u/sauron-bot Jan 20 '23

BUILD ME AN ARMY WORTHY OF MORDOR!

1

u/Icy-Inspection6428 Shelob Jan 20 '23

Mordor be damned, Saruman! Take it for yourself! Make thyself lord of this Middle-Earth!

2

u/Saruman_Bot Istari Jan 20 '23

Hmmmm, I see that you are bold, and brave. Such ambition is both appealing and dangerous. If I were to take power for myself, then all the free people of Middle-Earth would oppose me. This might work if I could find allies among them who could be convinced to support my rule...but this is a difficult task as none trust me after my betrayal of Gandalf.

Far, far below the deepest delvings of the dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things

u/Icy-Inspection6428 Shelob Jan 20 '23

Gandalf is a fool, mine friend, who uses the Hobbits as pawns and styles himself a good man. Saruman, thou art not such a man, take power and vanquish the cowardly Gandalf!

2

u/gandalf-bot Jan 20 '23

Evidently we look so much alike that your desire to make an incurable dent in my hat must be excused.

2

u/Saruman_Bot Istari Jan 20 '23

Gandalf the White. Gandalf the Fool! Does he seek to humble me with his newfound piety?

1

u/gandalf-bot Jan 20 '23

Fool of a Took!

2

u/AhsokaTauriel Jan 21 '23

This is a chaotic conversation. I’ve done this with the Star Wars bots but not the lotr ones, I need to try it lol

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '23

Agreed.

u/Fit_Click_581 Jan 20 '23

It is a gift

u/0ddSt0ff2nd Jan 20 '23

I like them there’s just way to ducking many

u/Dagobert_Juke Jan 22 '23

I like how they sometimes summon one another. Like Gandalf mentioning Saruman or Tom.

Your treachery has already cost many lives. Thousands more are now at risk. But you could save them Saruman_Bot. You were deep in the enemy's counsel.

u/MetalJunkie101 Jan 20 '23

I enjoy them at times, but they can be a bit overbearing.

Also, GROND.

u/Artichoke-8951 Jan 20 '23

I enjoy most of the bots. The one starting with gr I don't enjoy.

u/IkarusHagen2 Jan 20 '23

Grond?

u/Artichoke-8951 Jan 20 '23

Yes. It reveals nothing of the lore. It's just irritating
