Me, joking? It is true that Tolkien reported Gil-galad dead, but this was merely because Gil-galad told him that he would prefer to remain 'dead' as he could work more effectively from then on behind the scenes.
Who do you think made sure that Bilbo became lost and found the one ring?
Who do you think told Bard to aim for the dragons belly?
Who do you think told Beorn where he could find lots of lovely goblins?
Who do you think dressed up as a Nasgul to speed those fat city hobbits up on their way to Imladris?
Who do you think told Aragorn to take care of them at Bree?
Who do you think made sure that Smeagol led Frodo into Mordor?
Who made sure that Frodo finished the job that had been three thousand years in the waiting?
Huh? Who??!
Answer that, then tell me the Ereinion Gil-galad was killed to my face!

Ah excellent the good old conspiracy story.
Let me guess.... all was secretly funded by the Valar themselves?

Hmm, well the Istari and Glorfindel were funded by the Valar, not sure that Gil-galad was though. You can understand why; they'd never met. Anyway, who needs Valar when you have Gil-galad?

Very interesting, Aeglos. On the previous page you said that: Aeglos wrote:I would love to be one of the great heros martyrs of Middle earth, selling my life dearly like [...] Gil-galad. Now you make it apparent that you would not want to be him, since you esteem him so much - it is my opinion that you should rather be in his bodyguard. That is, if you simply aren't his weapon, as your name suggests...

Answer that, then tell me the Ereinion Gil-galad was killed to my face! That was funny! I couldn't help but laugh (sorry, Aeglos!). Yes, all evidence does point to Gil-galad, but answer me this: When did Gil-galad tell Bard to shoot there? There was chaos when the dragon attacked. (I'll give you the Beorn thing.) Where did Gil-galad find a Nazgul costume?? (Tres confusing.) (Yes, fine, you can have the Aragorn thing too.) How did Gil-galad persuade Smeagol to help the hobbits? By offering him niiiiiiiiice fissssssssssssh?? So, Gil-galad was following Frodo and Sam? Answer me these, and I'll admit it was Gil-galad.

Well, John... I'd better not answer that!
Grrr, Star!
Well thanks for giving me Beorn and Aragorn. Bard was actually trained in the 'Ereinion Defence Academy - Deep Mirkwood' and so of course was well aquainted by Gil-galad of dragon's Achilles heel.
A Nasgul costume? You're kidding right? Every second fancy dress shop in Mordor has them!! *some people...*
Well, to be honest, Smeagol could not be persuaded to help the hobbits, merely to help himself. But do you honestly think that a fishy hobbit creature could think of hiding in driftwood logs? Yes, Gil-galad was with the hobbits.
"Tell Captain Shagrat that the great Elf-warrior has called, with his elf-sword too!"
"Yes! The Elf- warrior is loose! He's coming. Just you show me the way up, or he'll skin you!" says Sam. Did you really think he was styling himself as an Elf-warrior or did you catch the reference to the mighty Ereinion Gil-galad, Elf-king and warrior?
