}>When I said Elves were legendarily snotty, we were talking about racism in
}>Tir nA nOg, a place where I would certainly consider them snotty. I didn't
}>mean to imply that ALL SR elves are snotty. A good example is the
}>introduction story in the SRII book.

The reason they seem aloof is because of their belief in some
higher purpose. That reminds me, our next run is into Tir nA nOg.
Hell I loath Harliquin.....that snotty faced elf.. ;-)

}In that case it was probably that you formulated it a bit unfortunately.
}See, the way I read that piece (at least when you added the last sentence,
}quoted above) was taht you said _all_ elves, no matter where, who, or when,
}are snotty. Which is a pretty **&* attitude, IMHO...

While I agree that most elves do have a reputation for having
their noses an inch higher than everyone elses, and it is a **&*
result, most of the elves in our campagins (the PC's) that is take
the mickey out of that ideology (and some NPC's) .Heck in our
campaign, Phoenix our elven pyromanic hates being an elf. The reason
being that when the character was created he was human, a member of a
anti-elven polio club, about two years into the game, he underwent
goblinization (result of a horrendusly failed run) and became an elf.
Now if that isn't poetic justice I don't know what is..
