A planet where elves evolve beards from copying men!

+ + Cirdan

Diamond18 · 03-11-2006, 01:00 PM

The early race is between Elrond and Cirdan (2 votes each), with Sauron tagging along in the back with 1 vote. While it might thrill certain tie-hungry sorts around here **coughKurucough** to see Sauron get another vote, I am not sure it would do well to deplete the Baddies so completely at this point.

So, that leaves Elrond and Cirdan (I am not in a mood to try starting a new movement, myself). This is a tough choice, as both characters seem fairly equal to me. I have no great dislike for either, but do recognize their imperfections. I can't say either of them deserve to be the coolest of the cool and win the whole thing, so this leads to somewhat of a toss up. I could stick with my earlier defense of Elrond, but that was in relation to Erendis, not Cirdan, so today is a new day and I want to treat it as such.

Looking over the early arguments, I have to say one thing stands out. There is something rather nasty going on between certain members -- I would name names but it hardly seems necessary. Any compliments I received yesterday are always appreciated, but it distresses me to see the downright un-sportsmanlike verbal attacks that are going on today.

So, I am going to tip my rather ambivalent scale and with a farewell pat on the back for Halfelven, vote:

+ + Elrond

Firstly, who is the guy? What are his qualifications? Any cool thing he's done?

The thing is, nobody can come up with a satasfactory reason to boot Cirdan or Elrond, or Sauron, for that matter. Catagorically.

++ Elrond

Is where I'm leaning at the moment...there are good points for & against him of course & I might change my mind but at the moment I'm leaning towards Spawn's course of action (& others

).

Can't think of a thing. How dull.

For contributing little, if anything, to the history of Middle-earth.

I swear he's a sissy. But mainly to protect Oropher and Cirdan.

Oropher brought Rennisance to the Silvan elves of Mirkwood. Bringing to ignorant into the light. What a great guy. And he died a warrior's death at the Last Alliance.

Cirdan? I wont say the most successful of the Sindar lords, but the least disatorus. He never made his people stand to fight when the best hope was a Phyrric victory. He even sacrificeed his Legolas-comparable good looks so that others could keep theirs!

Why are we voting for compassionate, warm elves?

++ Elrond

I mean honestly, he went with the Last Alliance as the "herald" of Gil-Galad! Talk about your cushy jobs. Heralds are used to communicate with the enemy. What in the world could the Elves/Men/Dwarves have had to discuss with Sauron? The guy went along and didn't do a thing.
