  3. Lorik stares wide eyed at the paper, confused on how he coughed it up in the first place. "Wonder if ah ate this while ah wus drunk er somethin'... Well, so be it. Ah 'ave been invited to a party!" Lorik smiles and wraps the paper, and continues on down the road to his inn.

  4. If you ask me, I think the Elves should become what they used to be. Passive. The Elves have lost that feeling of Elder or alien like feeling to their culture. You see, in most fantasies, including the start of LOTC, the Elves of these fantasies are peaceful, non violent, and at the utmost, transcended the problems of human society of crime and greed. Some of these fantasies go as far as to also show a lack of any form of currency system, the needs and wants of Elves so defined and well refined that they have no need for an economy. Their cultures instead depending on a "for the greater good" culture sense. Effectively, communism (communism isn't a bad thing here guys, it's just that humans being humans is what makes communism a difficult prospect). Elves in these fantasies select members of their community to lead them as guides, and all follow a sort of code towards achieving enlightenment in themselves in whatever craft they choose to do. These guides they select make the choices of the nation for them, and can be trusted to make them for the betterment of all Elves.

    Elves in most fantasy culture, has transcendent the problems of Human emotion, of Human strife, of hatred and guilt, gluttony and want. There is no such thing as racism or poverty in the culture of Elves, for they are beyond it.

    The problem of the Elves is that you think too much like Humans, your RP is too Human, there is no Alien like style to it. There is nothing that is regarded strange or fantas-full past the Elder tree and the Druids.

    The Elves need to stop thinking like Humans and start developing their culture again to be these mystical beings that wander our world, that act older than they look, that think further than a Human would.

    Enough of these teenager Elves that are naive of the the world and of culture and all that, that act as though they are more female dolls from a manga than Elves, and start acting how they should, as beings that no longer have the problems that form in human society.

    To Elves, the societies of men should seem to them to be "child like" and that men have much to learn. They do not hate, but they take action when needed, with clear and precise accuracy in mind, making it out almost to be an art form when they do act.

    Elves need to be forward thinkers, to plan and think ahead always, never jumping straight into something without a well thought out system to go by.

    The way that Elves are played need to change. You can keep your ideals of being "superior" or all that if you want to, but maybe not so well defined as Human Hatred and more in the style of "Your race is child like and has much to learn".

    If you noticed in the LOTR's you'll see that the Elves then did show signs of Hatred towards Dwarves, but they never outwardly showed it, it was ALWAYS subtle, extremely subtle. Same that you'll see that yes, they do have a military but notice that they never had any forms of guards inside the main towns. Or better yet, notice the lack of markets, of economy and the ideals of upper-class and lower class systems. They functioned as one entity made of many individuals like ants, all working towards the greater good of all.

    Awesome points. I think people should really read this.
