[img]tongue.gif[/img] They live in holes deep underground, and can't appreciate grace or beauty [img]tongue.gif[/img] hehe. smelly stunties. did I mention they smell? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Elves on the other hand are graceful and deadly, and are far better then humans, dwarves, in fact any other race save dragons... I could write how great elves are, but'd make all of the humans (me included) on the fourmn jealous [img]tongue.gif[/img] .
Er, I think you`re going a bit too far. While i also voted for elves(Elves are
cool! Especially Drow!!), Dwarves are cool too.

Where`d you get the idea that Dwarves smell of urine?

They *can* appreciate grace and beauty. They are excellent at making armour and weapons out of iron and they are more 'deadly' than elves in melee combat.

Dwarves drink too much?? No, they drink ALOT but there`s no such thing as 'too' much.

Personally, i like the big Dwarven beards. Have you seen any pics of a Dwarven Berserker? He has such a cool beard!

Plus, Dwarves have a fine voice. Their Scottish accent rules !

Now, lets talk about the Elves minuses.. well, i sure can`t find much flaws in them, since they`re a near-perfect race.. except..
A) Male elves look so damn feminate sometimes!
B) K, this is something i like but most don`t - They are a very racist race.

And where do the finest of ores,and jewels come from? Without the dwarves the elves would be running aroung in wooden armor. Would you be happy dealing with humans for gold and silver, if lucky maybe a little platum? Yuck.You want Mithril,and large enchantable jewels.Now just tell me again who are the smiths of the highest quality to refine and work those materals for you?You elves may fight to tame some spirits of the forrest on occasion but I would anyday trade that fate against fighting and controlling the many deamons,devils,and elementals of fire, earth and lava we face daily.We fight the internals of the beast of the world itself while you fight like the fleas on it's back insignificant and easily shaken off. If our women didn't have beards you wouldn't even have to think about this.

Dwarves Rock.

thats kinda my point... dwarves are cheap *cough* slave *cough* labour [img]tongue.gif[/img] good for nothign but diggin... we elves make the best armour, well, some ppl think dwarves do, their wrong [img]tongue.gif[/img] elven chain is light and graceful and refined. lol. AND elves are better. end of discusion in a battle elves would win [img]tongue.gif[/img] elves are better archers then ur stuntie crossbows, elves are better warriors. light, graceful and deadly, compared to clusmy heavy and weidly. we win, so there [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well it seems Shadow has dragged IW into our debate(this is an argument we have had for months).... and he seems to be winning... but that doesnt mean elves are better. People are just blinded by their so called "beuty" that they dont see that they are just a bunch of panzys who use their reputation to make them seem "superior"! If we pitched a dwarf and an elf agains each other without *any* magic who do you think would win? (if you say elves then you will only re-enforce my opinion that people are dumb enough to think that a race that cant lift an axe could win agains a race that could cut your head off in one swing...)

I prefer elves. I just like the way they're elegant, dexterous, charismatic, beautiful, and at home with nature and the elements. Dwarves are grumpy, short, clumsy, ugly and not easy to get along with. So elves it is

HAHA Dagorion, 17 to elves - 8 to dwarves...
Us elves are seriously wooping some arse right now [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Elves unite against the low and unimportant dwarves, with their filthy beards and stench. For we have only kept them around to mine for us. For we are the great elves and they are the pathetic dwarves.
