What's your favorite non-human race in LOTR? - Page 9

*nods* The moral: as a Maia, be all that you can beeeeee-- (army recruiting music stops abruptly.)

I've got a much greater appreciation for the Dwarves, after starting the Silmarillion.

The pet project of a recalcitrant kid. *snerk*.

That's just cool.

Umm, Not all of those are Maia, but they are all Ainur. Related, but not exactly the same thing.

The term Maia was more specific to the Ainur who came down to serve the Vala, who were also Ainur.

Wulažg · 04-24-2002, 06:24 PM

Why would the fact that a recalcitrant AŸle created the dwarves make them any more attractive to you?

Occasionally Jay · 04-24-2002, 06:28 PM

There were a surprise. They were unplanned. They were inspired by someone who didn't know all. They were the love's work and brain child of an angel. Sort of.

They're--
--cool.

The Dwarves are still the most underrated race in ME.

Nobody likes Orcs (but themselves).

Perhaps you ate them?

Wulažg · 04-25-2002, 06:45 PM

Bah! He would have eaten the elf groupies first. They scream more

Occasionally Jay · 04-25-2002, 06:52 PM

Hooray for underrated dwarves!

(Yes, I know I dropped my stone for the eagles. The dwarves are still cool.)

Radagast The Brown · 04-26-2002, 08:22 AM

barrelrider110 how could you do qurters and halfs???
you count the people that says: eagles, elves, hobbits and dwarves as quarter to all of them?

barrelrider110 · 04-26-2002, 08:34 AM

I gave each person a total of one vote. If someone mentioned two or more races with equal vigor, I gave each race a fraction of a vote. For example:

So ½ of Durin’s vote went to the Dwarves, half to the Ents. I didn’t think it fair to count two votes. One person voted for four, that's how I came up with 1/4 votes.

Well, maybe, but da orc groupies always scream for more...

And I hab grabe doubts 'bout da chewyness of elf lubbers. Dey strike me as all soft an squishy, not proper jaw excercise at all.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-26-2002, 02:04 PM

'tis all about the elves, hobbits and ents, in my opinion. Oh, and the eagles
