[QUOTE="interwyrm, post: 5068735, member: 31913"] In the semi final halflings (76) got punted. Elves (46) and eladrin (44) were neck and neck, but the eladrin managed to fey step out of the gallows. Dwarves (25) managed to hold their ground (as they always do). As before, vote for the race you dislike more, and post commentary! [spoiler]Go Team Eladrin![/spoiler] By the way, if this were [URL="http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/"]Dwarf Fortress[/URL] I would be rooting for dwarves all the way.
