only show up in the Appendices. Gildor, for instance, and Cirdan, do not actually take up much space in the main text/s. Helm Hammerhand isn't there at all, just mentioned because of a geographical-historical-strategic coincidence. He's not an important character in the text's present. He's very important backstory, and history.
Who is Gildor, anyway? The name certainly sounds familiar, but other than him being an Elf, I'm at a loss as to who he is or what he does.
I'll tell you the one I find shocking? Goldberry. Really? She wasn't mentioned all that much... was she?
I think barely or not at all outside that one chapter in which the Hobbits are staying with her and Tom Bombadil - but then, during that chapter, she gets mentioned a lot, evidently.

Re: Basically I think we are judging by importance of role/status. The game judges by number.

I realize, but you'd think the two would coincide more.

It just registers every time the word is said. Tom Bombadil couldn't stop talking about the bitch.

I went and searched a bit, and yes, seems it does include the Appendices.
