favorite race and why
Which of the races of middle-earth did you like best. Any race so even animals and beasts like wargs and dragons count.
My favorite has to be men because you can tell they have so much pride and honour. They aren't the strongest, the oldest, or the wisest but they are definately the coolest. I mean who is going to mess with a well seasoned male human warrior. Nobody. Thats right nobody. |

I'll tell you who'd mess with a "well seasoned male human warrior". An Elvish one, that's who. My favorite race has to be Elves. What's not to like about them? They are beautiful, artistic, wise, you name it...
P.S. Welcome to the moot Haradrim how about introducing yourself in the welcome thread in the General messages forum? |

oh come on. In a straight fight an experianced human fight would kill the experianjced elven fighter in a heartbeat. Really. The human may be less graceful but he is stronger and much more forceful. And I think that would make him win.

Why would the Man be the more forceful? Is it because he has a beard?

Yeah, I'm with Beren on this one. An Elf would whip human booty any day.
Of course Searos didn't prove to be much of a match for Turin, did he? Welcome to Entmoot Haradrim.

Yeah, but elves have this annoying tendency to be able to see and hear a human stumbling about; I reckon this could have an unfair advantage over the silly clumsy human.
*BoP would like to see a fight between Feanor and Turin though.

My favorite race are Dwarves because they are good fighters and they are very sturdy.

I like the dwarves a lot too but my favorite race is the Elfbit. For those of you who dont know an elfbit is a half elf, half hobbit. They are very short, they have pointy ears, and furry feat. Though their feet are not as large as a hobbit they more closely resemble an elf. They are very slender and graceful. Most share the hobbits love of sitting around and doing nothing however some feel a greater calling to the manic depressiveness of the elves. For visual reference look at my avatar take away the blue, the hat, and the shoes, and make them skinny and theyre you go.

Now to answer the original question of this thread (yes, i like bringing back old threads, sorry ). Men, Atani, Secondborn. Whatever you want to call them, there's no contest. Specifically i love the Numenoreans. They represent all of the highest and most noble traits of humanity.

I like the Elfits, Elfbit is a kinda scary name. But they combine both of my fave races- the Elves and the hobbits who are me every way around except stomach size and height. I wonder if there are any archers................... but if not yay more archery space for me!
