Ok, ok.
I've only been on NationStates for a few weels now, And quite frankly, I am confused about the whole "ELF" issue.
1. Since when do Elves really exist
2. If they do exist, (Which would actually be pretty cool) Why does every body I meet Hate Them?
Nothing exists its all pretend

"There is no spoon"...nor is there any fork, knife, or silver dinner plate.
Seriously,
The Pro-/Anti-Elf thing has been around as long as Menelmacar (basically as long as NS has existed. With the demise of GDODAD, there was a focus-shift from good (democracy and humanist dictatorships) vs. evil (oppressove dictatorship) to one of good (elves) vs. evil (orcs, etc.). When one major source of tension collapses, another source expands and rises in its place.

Yep. Mostly based on The Silmarillion (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0345325818/103-2065669-1495057?v=glance).

Well, I guess that clears that up for me
But you know, It would really not be to bad to have a few elves around.

NAh, the good can still dislike Elves.

I have the Silmarillion, but I haven't read it yet. :P
I'm definately pro-elf, although Penguinatan sentients migrated long ago to a now non-existant nation. It was overthrown and now is just an anarchic wasteland of tribes killin each other off. :P
(Nice invented story, eh?) 8)
The Trojan Empire

The reason I've begun to despise elves: Menelmacar, or the Evil Empire as we refer to her in Troy.
Why? One elf is slaughtered and what does she do? She parks her space fleet over your nation and toasts it. Thousands die because of one wretched little elf.
That's why I despise elves overall...
What are you talking about, you need to unplug and go to Zion. Say Hi to Smith for me.
Atlantian Outcasts

*sigh*
there are several races on NS. I, am Atlantian. Elves and Terrans ("Humans") are just the biggest 2, and have some sort of rivelry between them. I have no idea why, it's realy annoying to see a thread pop up every day about "500 Elves Executed"
