> **Pleonast** , I think claiming Fellowship or not would only be useful if there were a good chance that all nine of the Fellowship are in the game, but I think that’s fairly unlikely. Compare the last game, Harry Potter, where Ron Weasley (who’s one of the top three or five most important characters in the books) was not in the game at all (not even as a cover name). A moderator who’s willing to leave out a character that important probably isn’t going to include all of the Nine, either. The drawback, however, will still apply whether all of the Fellowship are here or not.

In addition, of the Nine, Boromir could easily be a third party even if Mahaloth is staying quite close to canon.
