Know Yer Mates, or a Member Above Ye

[Gil-Galad]

Ah Legate, him and The Might are the current Dueling Champions of the Quiz Room after myself and Rune.

a somewhat new member, but has quick became a regular among us downers here. was currently a vampire along wiht myself in the pst WW game, and we made a dangerous pair indeed.

but in conclusion, you must be one of the kings of riddles because what you come up with is very clever and i hardly get them, in fact i have a 23.6% chance of getting them... good job!

[Beregond]

Gil-Galad is Canadian,
of posts he has near three per day,
the last of which was yesterday,
a guess; of Umbar by the sea.

His guesses strong, his answers keen,
he praised Legate as riddle king,
the count of which he says: I feel
is high percent, to which I kneel.

Not long from now, he'll fly away
to europe, so his sig does say,
for in disuse will fall his car;
to drive o'er sea just is too far!

[Finduilas]

Beregond is apparently a poet, seems to like riddles, and John Howe is one of his favorite artists. And even though he is a Gondorian, his sympathies seem to lie with Rohan... traitor.

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Finduilas is a 16 year old who likes knitting, beautiful places and seems to favor Gondor over Rohan (see above). :D


Neat thread

[Mnemosyne]

Beleg Cuthalion has not posted on the 'Downs of late. When he does post, he tends to frequent the Quiz Room most of all and does not seem to be of the sort to indulge in the more Mayhemic areas of the Mirth Forum.

At least, he's never done a WW game... :cool:

Mnemi (aka Celeritas) is a fan-fiction writing queen of lurkdom who prefers a non-androgynous nickname, likes British spellings, loves the Shire, and seems to choose to give the impression of being the alter ego of somebody or other and/or a duck. :)

She feels fan-fiction too often puts the fanauthor's intentions above those of Tolkien, referring to this as "magisterial" as opposed to "ministerial" fan fiction (the latter being that which keeps to Tolkien's vision). From her blog, she seems to be a very articulate and innovative thinker who will certainly be an asset to the Downs. now that she is among the actively posting dead. ;)

Mnemosyne is a new member of the downs. The gender of this poster is unknown, as Mnemosyne never has been seen by anyone who has lived to tell of it. The reason for this is that Mnemosyne rules over a small tribe of pygmy hunters deep inside the dark jungles of Congo. Seated in a huge ebony throne Mnemosyne frequently drinks potent hallucinogens out of a skull-shaped cup, and leads dark and savage rituals of idol worship. Should visitors chance to stray into Mnemosyne's domain they are greeted with venomous darts fired by unseen sentinels.

Or so I'm told.

Skip Spence -- literally. Yes, skip him altogether. Ignore whatever he has to say, because he is malware -- a bot that is not. A very clever bit of programming by some diabolical Asian concern only interested in tracking your bank information and selling you male enhancement pills. He will infect your PC registry while pretending to like Tolkien. Beware!

[Durelin]

Morthoron used to be a "prolific poster" on the forums of "The Game Formerly Known as Middle-earth Online", and he is still worshiped (http://my.lotro.com/maworking/category/morthoron/) by at least one fellow former poster, either much to his chagrin or much delight to his ego. :Merisu:

Hey now that's bollocks! Send my your E-mail address and I will post conclusive evidence to refute your claim. And did you know you could become twice the man in two simple steps without the need for surgery?

Oh, I don't know much about Durelin, but I bet she's a clever American (East Coast) collage student in her early 20's with dreams of working in the film industy after graduation.
