Support?!?! I won't know how to handle that

++Elrond

Anyone that would allow his daughter to marry a ranger is not a good father, and let's not forget allowing his wife to leave without sufficient guard. Then he goes and become bitter about it getting mad at orcs and trolls when they only did what nature made them. Nature made elves smarter than that yet Elrond was demonstrated pitiful forsight in allowing her to be attacked.

What !? Nature has nothing to do with it and you know it. It was not nature that made orcs trolls and other grim beings. These are nothing but bad replicates made by Melkor the swindler.

I quite like Girion, but I can see that the witless anti-Elf lynch-mob psychology is starting to manifest itself...we need to stop before it sends the electorate into a Bacchic frenzy. The bigots mustn't be allowed the blood they crave!

--BOLG, ++GIRION

Everyone, Girion is now the official "save Elrond" vote...

Thinlómien · 01-09-2006, 10:40 AM

Okay, let's save Elrond.

I'm all for elves which is why I don't like Thranduil who disgraces the name.

Anguirel · 01-09-2006, 12:28 PM

Not in my view, no more than Thingol, or Eol, or Maeglin do. One of the major parts of my interest in Elves is the morally ambiguous, unpredictable, Faerie side. I like Elves who are more dangerous and less wise...

Eonwe · 01-09-2006, 03:42 PM

Morally ambiguous? That is a very debateable phrase, although debateable somewhere other than a Tolkien forum. well maybe not, but somewhere other than a 'middle-earth reality show' thread, anyway. there is another debateable phrase, while im at it.

either way, elves are clearly there to represent the good in life, anything noble or righteous. clearly, any elf who does not stive to meet these expectations is not fulfilling whatever it is he should be. and i say those who do not, do not deserve even to be in the running for first place prize.

tell you waht, lalaith, im all for evicting the elvenking. though i have a bone to pick with elrond at teh same time. as it stands now, elrond is in the lead though. and that is all that stands in the way of me voting elvenking...

No more dead guys!

++Girion

definitely has to get back in his grave. He's really starting to smell.

Lalaith · 01-09-2006, 03:52 PM

I agree that the elves of the Last Homely House are a bit odd: like 1930s Bright Young Things with their "too, too delicious my dear".
But I can't see how that is Elrond's fault. He seems to talk and think like a sensible person/elf. I'd like him to stay.
Eonwe, if you back off Elrond now we can unite tomorrow to boot off Thranduil. Deal?
(Ang, yes moral ambiguity is fine if it's got a bit of dash and glamour to it but Elvenking is just a miserable git)
