Once the game moves to Middle-earth, there'll be Sindarin Elf mariners. But at this stage the argument stands...

Myself, however, I think that we should target neither Teleri nor Noldor. Behold the Vanyar! They comb their hair and sing songs that are in any case inferior to Maglor's. Indis and Amarie are always disturbing Finwe and Finrod with their flirting, and Ingwe is so damnably superior. Silver (golden?) spoons in all of their mouths...

I'm leaning towards Amarie. Her playing hard to get is really depressing Finrod and putting him off his task...

[Lalaith]

Ok, you're right. The Vanyar have always annoyed me, stuck-up teachers' pets.
That Ingwe, sitting at the feet of Manwe like a great blond pudding. I bet the party was his idea, and all.

--Olwe

++Ingwe

[Anguirel]

That's far too funny to resist. Ingwe it is. Get lost, O Shiny One! Not "King of all the Elves" now, are we?

++INGWE

Votes:

Ungoliant: 1
Manwe: 1
Ingwe: 2

If there are any Vanyar fans out there, look to your King...

I quite agree, so I'll join the gathering ...

++ INGWE

... bandwaggon.

[Eonwe]

Not so! Look at this nonsense, voteing for Ingwe. What harm has he ever done? Is there anything so terrible about being loyal to the valar?

I think a much better choice would be one such as Curufin. Hot-tempered, unpredictable, ruled by passion, malicious, the list goes on. There lies a true threat. I'll warrent that he has some jealous plot to steal the silmarils and destroy the trees himself, thus becomeing the sole owner of light. Can we really allow such outrage?!

++Curufin

[Anguirel]

Ungoliant: 1
Manwe: 1
Ingwe: 3
Curufin: 1

Curufin? You mean Feanor's kindly, charming fifth son? The one with the lovely, round, soft, innocent eyes? The sensitive smith and artist? The loving husband whose wife is expecting a child?

Come off it. A ridiculous accusation!

And a dangerous one too. Quite apart from Feanor himself-and Curufin is Feanor's favourite!-he has rather a lot of tall, imposing, muscled big brothers.

Maedhros-"If that sissy Maia herald Eonwe so much as touches my wee brother..."

Maglor-"Voting for Curufin? He must have simply dreadful taste..."

Celegorm-"I'll have a word with Orome about this. No one bullies little Curu and gets away with it!"

Caranthir-*seizes massive hammer from forge* "So where does this Eonwe live?"

[Eonwe]

Herm, unless i am quite mistaken (which is not a bad assumption), was it not curufin and his brother caranthir who jealously and quite without honor attacked Beren and his fianse, luthian? this tells us something of their jealous nature, and another about their lack of kingly honor, which is easlily disernable in the character of ingwe.

Anyway, do you really think four measly elves would even be a small match for the herald of Manwe? First of, Maglor would only sing songs of regret and pain, which don't faze me in the least. And im sure Maedhros - always rational - would see how he couldn't honorably defend a brother that could conceive such a dastardly plan as killing the trees and stealing the silmarils. and don't you think stealing the silmarils would quite put curufin out of his father's good graces?
