That's because I see no logic in your arguments, my pretentious pen-pal.
Tuarhievel could not possibly stand against the Gorgon alone, or with the
forces of Dhoesone or Seilwode somehow helping. Of course, since you are
trashing my responses, I'll have to simply resort to defending my "flawed
and useless" assumptions from your public character attacks.

Are you referring to the alliance with Dhoesone? I doubt that would last
in your version of Birthright, and even so it's not enough to repell a full
invasion from the East.

Sure it did! You constantly made references to the stupidity of placing a
human in charge of Tuarheivel. It is these references that I disagree
with. However, since I am not an expert on the story surrounding the
succession, I can only make generalized arguments. Being a self-proclaimed
"elf-lover," your opinions are subject to argument based soley on that
fact. You are obviously letting your love of elves in the BR fantasy
setting overwhelm your sense of the campaign setting itself, particularly
the worsening military/political situation that Tuarheivel finds itself in.
However, since I am "flawed" and forced to see everything in an "elf vs.
human" context, I suppose my opinion means nothing to you. If the reverse
were true, and your opinion meant nothing to me, why would I be responding
to your statements? Personal attacks have no place here, but I can
disagree with you till the cows come home.
