Know Yer Mates, or a Member Above Ye

[HerenIstarion]

I'm in two minds as to where the following thread may belong, but, as it deals with people, it seems to suit in this here subforum more. Nevertheless, I'll gladly accept the decision to move it to Mirth in case such a decision is made.

So far with preliminaries, let me explain what it is all about. This is a kind of game I've spotted on another board (http://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=003386;p=1), and there, in its turn, it appeared from somewhere else (the source was not provided). It was quite to my liking, so I've decided it would be nice to have something of the kind here too.

The gist of the thing is as follows:

The participants get to know other members of the board, having some fun along (I hope) The goal is achieved by providing fact or two about the author of the immediately preceding post. The facts which are exposed may be deducted out of author's other writings, found out by visiting member's profile or his/her homepage. Any information will do, but with a proviso - personal information, not otherwise published by the person you deal with, should not be revealed w/out permission (i.e., if you happen to know some of BD members IRL, do not reveal address, real name, age or any other information unless you know the person won't object).

So, participant number one gets 'squeled on' by participant number two, the latter, in turn, undergoes similar 'informing' by number three and so forth endlessly, unless we are bored or members run short :)

There is no prohibition on joining the thread several times, just try to have several posts in between your appearences. Let's say, 10 posts in between would be just to the T.

I will break said rule for the first time, just to let you have an example of what I'm driving to, so post number two will be by yours truly again :)

Let's go!

[HerenIstarion]

HerenIstarion lives in Georgia, and he's real name is George Lashkhi (see, I've just read the post above me and seen it all there)

When abroad, practical jokers he happens to meet always refer to him as 'George from Georgia'. Corny joke, to his taste (that is personal information which is not published, but I happen to know H-I won't object if I inform you about it)

He works in a bank (seen in his user profile)

========================================

Now I hope all's clear. The comments concerning the source of the information I've made in brackets are not mandatory.

Join in and have fun. And no flaming! - ask each other by PM to remove/edit something which is not to your liking, and do it in a courteous way :)

cheers

[Estelyn Telcontar]

HerenIstarion is 26 years old and was one of the very early members of the Barrow-Downs forum, since he joined almost four years ago. He can speak several languages, including Russian, and his English gets better all the time! :)

[InklingElf]

Estelyn Telcontar:She resides in Germany and is also a musician and translator. Estelyn is also a much-loved moderator of the Barrow Downs Forum -- in the areas of The Books etc.

(BTW:Great idea H-I you've outdone yourself once again!)

[Estelyn Telcontar]

(As a member who remembers a lot of older threads here, I'd like to add a couple of links as source material for this thread:

The masks of inscrutability (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=10753)
All About You (Part 2) (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=4599) (also look for Part 1)
Tolkien Coming of Age Club 2 (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=4665) (also part 1 as well as the Middle-Age and Teen Club threads)
...and the various regional threads, all here on the Barrow-Downs forum.

That gives you plenty of extra information to use, at least for those people who posted there!)

[The Barrow-Wight]

Estelyn walks. And walks and walks and walks. Just look at the number by her name, and you'll see an incredible 1350 miles. Perhaps it is even higher as you read this.

If I recall correctly, her title, The Ghosted Princess, comes from the fact that for a time she had difficulties remaining in the chat room, constantly being disconnected. The problem was so persistent, that she cleverly used the /ghost command to chase away the lingering remains of her nick that would stay in the chatroom after such rude disconnections. It is one of my favorite titles on the Downs.

[HerenIstarion]

Well, not yet ten posts after my previous, but I have to correct the course, so I'm in as an emergency mechanic type of guy - as InklingElf (http://69.51.5.41/member.php?u=912) was, accidentally, dropped out the chain. Please note that next person to post should provide the facts about the Barrow-Wight (http://69.51.5.41/member.php?u=2), not me ;)

===========================

So, InklingElf (http://69.51.5.41/member.php?u=912) lives in San Francisco,CA, studies arts and flies kites in her free-time, is a little bit sarcastic sometimes, and probably expresses her sarcasm into her writing, which she does a lot too

===========================

Don't forget, next participant does the Barrow-Wight (http://69.51.5.41/member.php?u=2), not me ;)

[Rimbaud]

BW is very familiar with Germany and its inhabitants. :D Mr Wight has occasionally answered to Squasher...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Rimbaud is a poet who frequents the quiz room. He alludes to his appearance as being somewhat short and greenish.

Fea

[Gil-Galad]

Fea is 17 and enjoys Music, art and (hopefully) Tolkiens works!

[Amanaduial the archer]

Despite her name, sixteen year old American Downer Feanor is female, and seems to reside largely in Middle Earth Mirth.

No nonsense but with a generous sense of humour, Feanor is no fan of makeup.

Has a toy bunny rabbit called Jaime ;)

[Gil-Galad]

seesh to many cross-postings...first Pio then you...

[Mithadan]

Amanaduial is a 15 yer old (almost 16) British student. She is musically inclined and similarly creative in her RPGs. She also has a reputation for speaking her mind... ;)

[Gil-Galad]

Mithadan is a mysterious fellow but a long time downer

[Son of Númenor]

I can do you one better, Mith. You're a Miami-based lawyer and sports enthusiast. And you're probably hoping that Gary Sheffield will break a leg or A-Rod will unexpectedly retire and go soul-searching in East Asia... preferably before the playoffs roll around. :D

[Mithadan]

Mike Mussina and Kevin Brown going on the DL would do just as well. ;)

[Morsul the Dark]

I think SoN is my victem?

He likes Old Threads

He Hates th Movie Sauron

and Hes 5'7 with a bit of a belly He has a manly hairy chest lol

and he hates excersize

[Son of Númenor]

and Hes 5'7 with a bit of a belly He has a manly hairy chest lolHeh, I knew that description would come back to haunt me. For the sake of people who may not have read that particular post in 'How do you imagine other BDers?', allow me to clarify: the description is (almost) totally false. :DMike Mussina and Kevin Brown going on the DL would do just as well.Well, those are a bit more plausible than the scenarios I suggested.

:rolleyes: :smokin:

[Mithalwen]

I reckon Gil-galad is next up.... He is 6"2 which is a bit scary since he isn't yet 15 and is a Scorpio. He is a very efficient "sheep dog" on the quiz board and his own questions can be fiendish :D

[Morsul the Dark]

Mith likes the UT

she's 5'10 and hates elves with beards

[Mithalwen]

Verily ...indeed beards in general other than on Viggo :D ..Oh bother can't do you.... NB Morsul is the next target........

[Evisse the Blue]

Morsul is very persistent (especially in the Quiz Room). He's a Downsalholic and hangs around the Downs too much for his own good. In fact, he should be doing his homework right about now, instead of hanging around ME Mirth.:D He loves the LOTR movies and hasn't read the Silm yet. He also likes Harry Potter.

EDIT: Right, hehe, no HW in summer. Fine season, summer. :p

[Morsul the Dark]

very good although it is summer right now so I have no hw at the moment so I get to hang out here all day

[The Only Real Estel]

Morsul the Dark's real name is Andrew & he hates rock music :cool:.

[Morsul the Dark]

Estel read the books first

one of his favorite battles is gandalf vs balrog

your hard to find info on

[Gil-Galad]

You got your name from an RPG, which you play as a sixth Istari

[Morsul the Dark]

did i say that?...its not true...looks at all old posts...

[Gil-Galad]

yes you said that i remember... Morsul the Dark, of the Istari, Wrath greater then Sauron and so on

[The Perky Ent]

Gil-Galad got his avatar from Homestarrunner.com

[Gil-Galad]

Perky has a distinct likeness for Calvin and Hobbes cartoons and its characters

[Son of Númenor]

From post #1:There is no prohibition on joining the thread several times, just try to have several posts in between your appearences. Let's say, 10 posts in between would be just to the T.

[The Perky Ent]

Alrighty! I'll hold off for a while!

[Amanaduial the archer]

So this would be...Gil Galad who I am doing now? Hmm, well being as he has posted here rather frequently over the last page...

Gil Galad is searching for a Trogdor avatar (sorry, I have nothing...)

[Imladris]

Aman loves the film Sound of Music (post 319) (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=4669&page=8)

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Imladris is a student; she loves the Harry Potter books and got a movie poster for that reason. She wishes she had green eyes. (source of info: I know where she blogs! ;) )

[Firefoot]

It's fun to go dig up inforformation about people. More so than I thought it would be anyway. Esty, I can't find much, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. :rolleyes: ;)

Estelyn first got her LotR book from her boyfriend 31 years ago, and she still has it.

[Morsul the Dark]

firfoot is christian and likes hiking

[Sirithheruwen]

Morsul is named Andrew, much to Fea of the P.'s chagrin. He also posted only 8 times a couple days ago. ;)

[Gil-Galad]

Sirithheruwen is rather friendly though her avvie might scare some people

[Child of the 7th Age]

Hey. this is too much fun to pass up....

Gil-galad likes to lift weights and plays hockey, which potentially makes him a very dangerous guy when he gets mad! :eek:

~Child

[Gil-Galad]

(that is true... i have been known to have a temper btw do Child next, not me)

[The Perky Ent]

Gil-Galad often wonders why he can't be a male straight A Swimteam Captain :D

[Diamond18]

Sharon, I believe, has one daughter aged... 12. I may have the age wrong, but I'm sure I read about the daughter somewhere.

And The Perky Ent was introduced to the Barrow Downs by Arvedui III.

There. Gotcha both.

[InklingElf]

Diamond18:Was born in 1984. She was raised by swamp rats in the bahamas, she has(hopefully) really good taste in rock music. She also loves to dance around the Downs in a black duck suit and an orange bill.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

. . . is pure Filipina (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=128381#post128381). She reappeared in the Downs after quite a lenghty disappearance - or so it appeared to me.

[Imladris]

Nilpaurion Felagund likes Lego. Source: Homepage

[HerenIstarion]

Besides, Nilpaurion Felagund is Lhunardawen
's brother and is just 5 weeks away from his 18th birthday :)

Imladris lives in US, is Niluial's friend, loves Harry Potter series and is [almost] sure that ME is the past of this here real world. Besides, she finds her delight in hobbits, and is intrigued by Sam/Gollum relatonships :)

[piosenniel]

H-I subscribes to the Nac Mac Feegle (http://www.paulkidby.com/feegles/index.html) school of malicious cat training.

[Rimbaud]

Pio is a nurse, and can often be found aboard a most peculiar ship...

[Kuruharan]

Rimbaud is a semi-amphibian (I like that new avatar) with a magnificent gift for punnery.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Kuruharan likes dwarves...or rather have a dwarwish alter ego :)

[Firefoot]

Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant enjoys music and art very much, and strangely enough cannot stand spiders.

[The Perky Ent]

Firefoot rejoiced at her 2,000th post in The Topic Game!

[Morsul the Dark]

Perky is not a married middle-aged man
nor does he have children ;)

and hes very fond of telling me im wrong lol :p

[The Perky Ent]

(yes i am)

[The Only Real Estel]

The Perky Ent was born in 1991 & is suspiscous of people who check his location ;).

[Son of Númenor]

Estel is a 16-year-old from Kansas, a sports fan and a frequent critic of PJ's Sauron the Eye.

[Mithalwen]

Gil-galad likes hockey and is "hasty" :D

[Gil-Galad]

you all got my hockey-loving by how do you imagine barrowdowners thread!

[Firefoot]

Mithalwen likes sunglasses. Small children like her.

[Sirithheruwen]

Almost everyone on the "How Do you imagine other BDers" thread imagines Firefoot with red hair. She also has pyro tendencies. ("What does your screenname MEAN?")

[Morsul the Dark]

Sirith likes accents

shes not a geek or a nerd or a jock shes an original

[Gil-Galad]

Morsul has only had 2 different avvies? Uncle Vernon and the semi-dreaded Black M

[Morsul the Dark]

3....before the first m was this landscape thing

[Diamond18]

Gil-Galad likes to eat dwarves

[the phantom]

Diamond18's real name is Diamond, she lives farther north than I do, and she's in love with me.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Morsul attempted a new signature and avatar recently: an avatar of Uncle Vernon from Harry Potter, and a sig to go with it (a quote of Vernon's, I believe - something about Sunday being the best day of the week because there is no post, and therefore no letters for Harry: it is from The Philosopher's Stone, I believe). However, there was some 'nostalgia' for his old avvie, and so he returned to the good ole' black M, and a sig to match ;)

[the phantom]

Aman is a cello player (but violinists still rule, hon).

[paavo]

the phantom is a violinist (but altoviolin still rule :p )

he plans every night with his friend pinky how to take over the world.

[Imladris]

paavo's screen name is his real name.

[InklingElf]

Despite Imladris' location (tears of a pheonix) she is turning into an owl.

[Firefoot]

Inkling Elf thought about having an animated Moogle for an avvie.

[Maédhros]

Firefoot likes to encourage people in the threads to defend their points of view. ;)

[Kuruharan]

Maédhros needs no encouragement to defend his point of view. He does a good job on his own.

So, Gil-Galad likes to eat dwarves does he... :eek: :(

[The Only Real Estel]

Kuruharan joins the Barrowdowns on January 23rd, 2002, & is currently reading 'Fog on the Barrowdowns' in FotR.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Estel lives in an area with a rather annoying mosquito population. He likes being somewhat of an enigma and is on the Top 10 list of Barrowdowners who are un(accurately)imaginable.

Fea

[Morsul the Dark]

Fea hates showing off her body so therefore dresses tomboyish(not to sound rude just couldnt think of a better word)
And she owns a dog

[The Perky Ent]

Morsul is a downsaholic!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Morsul, that's not wholly accurate... I don't mind showing off my body, I just hate people staring excessively. Makes me wonder if they can see my scars, or if I stepped in something weird. And I've got two dogs. ;)

Fea

[Morsul the Dark]

ah well i got that from you dropping you bagel and your dog eating it...and I misunderstood your posts then i am sorry

[Meneltarmacil]

I do not know much about Morsul the Dark, only that he is evil and likes black M's.

Does anybody claim to know any deep, dark secrets about me?

[Morsul the Dark]

you like star wars...

jeez searched long for this one
you live near North Carolina

[Meneltarmacil]

Star Wars? When did that come up? Actually, I do like Star Wars, but certainly not enough to be a diehard fan.

And yes, I do live relatively close to North Carolina.

[Morsul the Dark]

i found one your posts which you actually stat a scene about astroids or somthing and I think you have to be a star wars fans to quote scenes

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

So far, I never found Morsul the Dark offline. Scary. :eek:

And Meneltarmacil always tries to kill me - except the time he thanked me for reviving the New Movie Script (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=5249&page=5) thread - vy ze vay, that thread is screaming for new screenwriters.

I wonder what would happen if Menel and I ended up in the same RP? Hmmm . . .

[Morsul the Dark]

Well I log off aol but i do not however log off this site when i turn off this computer so that might be why...and even if i did im still logged on in the library at 3 seperate computers from when i was getting mine fixed

[HerenIstarion]

Morsul will turn 17 in 9 days, on August 22

He has the highest 'posts per day' ratio I've ever seen on this here board (10,43 currently), which is a way higher then the two top 'per day' posters I know of - pio and Finwe can boast of. If he carries on like this, he will be our top poster by Christmas

He spends a lot of time at his, other ppl's and public PCs, be it at home or in school. And he is a bit lazy (or careless) with regards to security issues, as he does not log off

He prides himself for being pro-'evil' in books he enjoys (Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings). Probably he feels baddies are too much oppressed by goodies, and does it for the sake of justice

He is a romantic (for the same reason), and likes 'child-harold' type of heroes (yes, those to revolt in the name of freedom). I suppose, if he were born some 40 years before his actual birth-year, he would certainly become a hippie.

PS I will gladly accept PMs to correct anything which is not right, big M :)

=============

EDIT: second revised edition

So, I stand corrected, as Morsul is not pro-evil, he simply likes cool characters, and baddies are usually depicted as being 'cooler' than those boring goodies :)
Besides, he would have been more likely to become D&D nerd than hippie (but here we have problem of timing, I believe - hippies were before D&D nerds, so, maybe Morsul could have been both :p)

[Saraphim]

Heren Istarion enjoys jokes about the Lord of the Rings. (And who doesn't?)
His English is better than most of the Americans I know, but he's very polite, and wouldn't say that.

He's got a quick wit and can make a parody poem in the time it takes for most people to log into the Downs.

Though that doesn't do him justice by a mile...:D

[Diamond18]

Saraphim's real name is Kira. She has a dire opinion about the city of Las Vegas, and is interested in anything nerdy that I can name. So, she must be interested in stamp collecting, mounting dead bugs on pins, and the musical properties of igneous rocks.

[Evisse the Blue]

Diamond is in love with Pippin. She's a Christian and wouldn't leave this world for Middle Earth. She had this sig for quite a long time.

[paavo]

Evisse the blue is a nightwish fan, she thinks that Merry (Dominic Monaghan) was overlooked in the movies, his every bigger scene totally edited out or (pledging to theoden) or his part in it minimized (the slaying of the witch king).
she laughed at the line "my lady" that merry says.

She likes the nicks "the perky ent" and "sleepy ranger" but "pink viggo" goes above her understanding.

She has a dog who is called Blue.

one of evisses favourite threads is the "101 things a Lotr character would never say".

[Firefoot]

Paavo is Finnish, he is 16, he likes aikido, volleyboll, badminton, soccer, and table-tennis, and he can't resist mokkabars. (I have no idea what aikido and mokkabars are...?)

[paavo]

aikido is a japanese martial art (more information here http://www.aikidofaq.com/introduction.html) and mokkabars is a deeeelicious chocolate dessert. (I can give you the recipe if you want :) )

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Firefoot celebrates her birthday in September. She got dependent on LotR about three years ago, found the 'Downs and now she's been dead for a good while ;)

[Amanaduial the archer]

dancing spawn of ungoliant is truly sick of the whole conversation regarding Legolas's hair (or is it hare? Who knows...)

She has also not been a very nice balrog this year...;) post #16 (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=339408#post339408)

[Lush]

Aman has a Xanga page that I occasionally drop in on, and find very charming.

She has a knack for prose that's startlingly (if that's a word) good. Especially when she's mad. Like that time when someone hacked into her MSN account (it was me, Aman, I'm stalking you...Ok, no I'm not. Sorry. Please don't aim the bow at my head.).

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

No, no! How could I ever get tired of Elmerf (no sarcasm intended)? He's our favourite bunny! But that part of the balrog, I'm afraid, is true :o ;)

[Sirithheruwen]

Lush would be a nerd, but she said she partied too much. She also wants to marry a Brit.

DSoU (I dunno...do you mind if I abbreviate your nick like that?) doesn't like spiders and she is currently 222 miles from Hobbiton on the Walk to Rivendell.

[Son of Númenor]

Lush recently celebrated her twentieth birthday in Kiev. She lives in North Carolina and goes to Duke. She is adept at partying and a budding afficionado of Russian literature, and is currently seeking to marry an oil baron (or one of two particular cheeky Brits). Major dislikes include annoying newbies, being screamed at by drunk men, and John Ashcroft.

Edit: Cross-posted!

[Morsul the Dark]

SoN
American Hates war
and finds Grima to be an interesting charator

Sirith
Born on December Second
likes writing
and she wants to be a downsaholic

[The Only Real Estel]

At one point Morsul considered Radagast to be a slacker & he thinks that Toby Maguire & Elijah Wood look a lot alike.

[Meneltarmacil]

The Only Real Estel used to debate with me about various issues in the Movies Forum, especially Faramir's portrayal. We hardly ever agreed on anything, except for when a certain member by the name of dragonslayer started posting completely random "joke" topics all over the place and we agreed that he should be stopped. (He later posted a very insulting comment when faced with reality, however.)

*edits out a typo to avoid being hit by Rimbaud's Flaming Trout of Doom(tm)*

[Imladris]

Meneltmarcil thinks that Frodo and Sam are the greatest heroes of Middle-Earth.

[Niluial]

Imladris loves reading and has awesome taste in books. She loves her mom a lot and her brother, who happens to be very nice indeed. She loves Jonny Depp and watching movies (she likes watching The Breakfast Club, Shrek etc). She has a handmade bear called Ginny and a cat called Nessa. She is a coffee addict too (and loves chocolate, naturally)!

[Orofaniel]

Niluial LOVES coffee. She likes faries too and she just sent a teddy bear to a friend of hers...(Thehehe:D) She hates spiders, school and Hillary Duff. :eek:

[InklingElf]

Niluial:is always breathless, she prides herself on her http://www.xanga.com/niluial (blog) and her blue-pointy-eared avatar always mugs me for some reason ;)

..........EDIT:

Orofaniel: is as jumpy as her avatar -- and apparently faster than me in replying to this topic :D

[Firefoot]

InklingElf is a Christian, 15 years old, and plays Neopets.

[Morsul the Dark]

firefoot wears anything that is fit and is comfortable
likes fire
and was born on Sept 28

[The Perky Ent]

Morsul, statistically, posts 10.79 times a day!

[Esgallhugwen]

The Pery Ents IM name is Stupendousman 22.
And he loves Calvin and Hobbes which I too find very funny and soo true.

[Lhunardawen]

Esgallhugwen joined the Downs on June 26 of the previous year. She will be celebrating her birthday on August 30. She averages 0.78 posts per day. Her archnemesis is writer's block.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Lhunardawen (according to her own words) doesn't look like Eowyn. She was born in January 1989 and Nilpaurion Felagund is her brother.

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

dancing spawn of ungoliant is from Finland and almost made it to an Apocalyptica concert! :cool:

[Mithalwen]

Lush She also wants to marry a Brit.

[


Off topic .... but why on earth would you want to do this? They are not very Romantic and most are capable of life long devotion only to their football team.... :confused:

Hilde's birthday is on 27th of November and she posts a lot in teh RPG

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Mithalwen owns no cords-and-button-up-shirt outfit combinations. She became a godmother at a relatively young age and has a friend who once looked just like me. Small children love her, but it is not always mutual.

Fea

[Morsul the Dark]

By her Sig. I believe Fea likes Monty Python
she post .89 times a day and
and if she were to get a tatoo it would be a dragon spiralling up her ankle
her friend has refere to her as a heartless fiend(half joking of course)

[InklingElf]

Morsul: Is the most friendly evil darkling in the whole universe and has an unwavering fascination for bold-faced capital letter "M"s.

[Niluial]

InklingElf believes that without Tolkien’s books the libraries would be affected in a major way. She can get panicky at times. And she insanely debates with herself about Downers genders. And she used be (well still is) a very liked person on the other forum Imladris!

[Lindolirian]

Niluial is a weeping star from South Africa who wishes she was an evil, but cute, green fairy who went around htting people with her wand.

[Kuruharan]

Lindolirian has the coolest avatar ever (second only to mine of course) ;) :p

[Rinfanawen]

Kuruharan is obviously obsessed with Dwarves, I think would become one if had the chance, and, according to the signature, is reading the same chapter that I am on at the present moment in LOTR.

[Imladris]

Hunt for the Last Palantir is Rinfanawen's first RPG.

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

Imladris loves cats in a way that is almost uncanny, in that he is actually able to think like a cat. He is also easily flattered by rep points (give him some and find out).

[Saraphim]

Fordim Hedgethistle is a professor whose students think he looks nothing like Indiana Jones. At this year's Downs birthday celebration he came as a balrog who was confused as to whether or not he had wings.

He also has an insanly high rating.

[Lhunardawen]

Saraphim's name means "flemming spirit" (according to Nilpaurion Felagund). :D She is a member of the Nearsighted Elves Society.

Wait, you're a she, aren't you?

[Morsul the Dark]

Faramir is Lhuns favorite charactor
and her CS teacher is a lotr fan
and she has thought about sneaking onto the downs during class

[Lhunardawen]

(Faramir is just one of my faves, another being the one in my avatar. And it was my CS teacher the previous year who is a fan- she's not my teacher anymore, but of course you wouldn't know that. :) And I have successfully sneaked into the Downs in class...last Monday to be exact. :D )

Please do Morsul next...

[Saraphim]

Lhunardawen: Yes, I am. :D

Continue with Morsul!

[The Perky Ent]

Morsul makes a living as a Balrog trainer!

[Evisse the Blue]

Perky invented the term Downsalholic. He's Jewish, one of his old avatars was a snowman and he practically lives in the Quiz Room. When he first came to the Downs he was very impressed with Finwe and still keeps in touch with her.

[Firefoot]

Evisse wants to go visit Tolkien's grave sometime, but does not know when she will ever be able to do it. She would prefer to do it in the nighttime. Though she does not stalk anyone in particular, she stalks many and various people, and anyone could be a target. She does not like it when you put the dots (ë) over her name.

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Firefoot's birthday is on September 28th. Firefoot also received a personal title quicker than anyone I've seen in a while! Or maybe I'm missing someone...

[Kransha]

Aylwen Dreamsong is, as best as I can tell, a Marylander, a guitarist, and a very talented writer for her age. She runs an Inn in the Rohan Forum and has a title that both intrigues and depresses me...She also likes 'The Phantom Tollbooth,' or so I surmise (a conclusion I'm jumping to).

Now, what do you people know about me?

P.S. For the record. SH0RT3ST P05T 3VAR!!!1!!!

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

Kransha is an amateur actor who prefers Shakespearean roles, in particular the villains or the clowns. He has facial hair that he thinks is fetching, but he freely admits that others find it a little silly. His username, and indeed his account on the BD, is really his younger brother's from whom he stole it. Kransha lives in Virginia but was born in Russia; he speaks a bit of Russian still but would like to return to the motherland to learn the lingo a bit better.

He enjoys being evil, and is prone to the vice of envy.

[Child of the 7th Age]

Mater Fordim joined the Downs in February and has since been quite active on the site, notably in Books and the Shire. He recently taught a course on Tolkien and wrote an essay some years ago on the female characters in LotR: this shows that he has good judgement in his choice of topics. He has read and enjoyed the Narnia tales and knows David Lyle Jeffrey, a scholar who did a study on Tolkien as philologist. His first character on the Downs was a crotchety old hobbit, which seemed to fit his personality quite well. I could swear he said that he had a child. If I am mistaken in this latter "fact", I offer my apologies.

[Mithalwen]

The Child of the 7th age has experienced some of the best and worst aspects of living in England (on balance I think the museums, libraries etc won out against the plumbing!!!?) This may be too subjective but I feel that the term "still waters run deep" could have been coined for her... :)

[Gil-Galad]

Mithwalen has a slight obsessity with rain and water-related things (profile)

[InklingElf]

Gild-galad must be fed a dwarf before he implodes into insanity. He apparently has taken a liking to boxing people with his avatar -- I can't even see what it really is!

[Morsul the Dark]

Inkling was born on Wpril 16, 1989

likes skipping stones

Likes star Trek
and she studies the arts

[Sirithheruwen]

Morsul enjoys the thought of being a giant floating black M.

His one interest is Middle-earth domination.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Sirith is a fan of the "Edge Chronicles", is fluent in Igpay Atinlay, loves all accents not her own, and owns black flipflops and bunny slippers.

Fea

[Lhunardawen]

Feanor of the Peredhil will be celebrating her birthday this Wednesday! Advanced happy birthday, Fea! :) She (yes, our fiery Halfelf is a female) joined the Downs on February 12 last year. She is one of the few who have chosen to use their pics as an avatar, and, if I may so, I find her pretty. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

She recently used her photo as an avatar. And she really wants a kilt.

[Morsul the Dark]

well since we have two people posting Ill take care of both of you

Lhun birthday January 4, 1989

she feels sorry for Hurin

NP

birthday September 16 1986

and likes legos(hey who doesnt?)

[The Only Real Estel]

Morsul saw Van Helsing 7 times in the theater & he thinks that Star Wars is annoyingly boring & makes little or no sense.

p.s. why am i always doing you, morsul? O_o

[Lindolirian]

why am i always doing you, morsul?
Because Morsul's posts per day are now up to 11.27!

The Only Real Estel makes me wonder where the fake one ever was...:eek: :D

[Mithalwen]

Mithwalen has a slight obsessity with rain and water-related things (profile)

I am Anglo-Celtic - The bad press the British weather gets isn't entirely undeserved - it is mid august and I left the house wearing winter shoes and swathed in wool and goretex - :(

Sorry back to Lindolirian..... who likes quizzes ~(a lot as a glance at his posting history shows) and eating (mutton?) and I would like to second the opinion that he has a splendid avatar :)

[Lindolirian]

Actually, I've never had mutton, but Bert's Mutton Eatery sounds funny. Yes, quizzing is about 99% of what I do here. :) ;)

[Mithalwen]

Sorry I will edit ... mutton is hard to get these days but it can be very good.....

[Sapphire_Flame]

Mithalwen posts 2.48 times per day (half a post?) and occupies her time by being a rain-goddess.

(Couldn't possibly send some rain my way, could you? ;))

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[The Perky Ent]

Sapphire_Flame's post count is 1.54


As for the two decimals, it's just digits. I think it's the number of posts divided by the days you've been a member!

[Firefoot]

Perky is a spaz (according to his profile), likes sushi (no comment ;) :p), likes reading, and celebrated his 2000th post in the Seekers of Truth Discussion thread. (Congrats!)

[The Perky Ent]

OCC: Thank you! And BTW, sushi is awesome! How dare you besmirch the name of sushi


Do Firefoot not me!

[Morsul the Dark]

Firefoot
likes fire...posts 8.15 times a day,,,born on septemer 28 and is hard to find info on

[Kransha]

Heavens, I'm really fascinated by this thread. Never have my posts been so short and come in such rapid succession.

Morsul's name means 'Black Wind' in Sindarin
He created the Burzenyd...which I think are corrupted Ents...or Balrogs
He's more powerful than both Sauron and Morgoth
He's incredibly evil, though maybe not as evil as me *maniacal laughter follows
He once yelled a Black Speech warcry at a classmate of his who dissed LotR
His avatar is 'tres avant-garde'

[Morsul the Dark]

burzenyd means dark ent
what does "tres avant-garde" mean?

do Kransha

[Imladris]

Kransha, judging from various references and his sig, likes Shakespeare and considers himself evil (profile).

[tar-ancalime]

Imladris thinks the moderators on the 'Downs are doing a great job. This is a clever position to take, as Imladris is in fact a moderator, on the fan fiction site.

[Imladris]

Off topic comment: Ah, but I wasn't talking about the Fan Fiction site. I was talking about the mods on this site... ;)

Please do tar-ancalime next.

[Rinfanawen]

Tar-ancalime is a "Cheeky British Barrowdowner", has a deep interest in the land of Numenor, and for some reason has found herself lying inside of a cow on several occasions.
(You have no clue how much searching I had to do to gain that info.)

P.S. Oh, and might I add, Morsul, I think you have switched avatars faster than anyone I have seen on the Downs. It seemed just before I went to writing this that you had some sort of shield, I think, up. But I like your "M" nonetheless.

[Morsul the Dark]

well it was a cloaked figure but it didnt come out right then i tried a different M didnt work so here i am back at the black M getting Avatars off google isnt really that great....sorry to waste topc space

do RinFan

[paavo]

Rinfanawen, or Rin, is as old as I (16). She loves softball and cheerleading. She likes to watch college basketball and is a fan of Duke. Her favorite food is pizza, favorite actor is Elijah wood and fav. actress is Julia roberts. She has put together a collection of all her writings since the 4th grade. She has 79 different pieces alltogether.

[Morsul the Dark]

paavo

is 16
likes volleyball
and aikido which is something I have never heard of

[paavo]

look page 3 :)

(do morsul)

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Morsul will be turning seventeen very soon (if I've done the math right...), is interested in world domination, and makes a lot of posts in not a lot of time. Morsul has been a member not more than three months (I think) and has almost as many posts as I do in...two years?

Wait...I forgot my deathday! Wow...my second deathday was last Friday. :rolleyes: I forgot...

:D

-Aylwen

[Firefoot]

Aylwen runs both track and cross-country. She recently went on vacation and came back quite sunburned.

[Sapphire_Flame]

Firefoot dislikes slash, and is very cool to have given me reputation points. Thank you! ^ ^

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[The Perky Ent]

Saphire_Flame has a pet named xenomorph, and plays with...it in Mirkwood!

[Gil-Galad]

Perky has surpassed me in posts and taunts me about not having a personal title...i don't see yours!

[Sapphire_Flame]

Perky, my xenomorph (you know, those are the aliens from Alien) is a male and his name is Dave.

*(Do Gil-galad next, not me!)*

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[Morsul the Dark]

Gil-galad likes computer games
was born October 30, 1989
and is annoyed because perky passed him in posts and teases him for not having a personal title

[Esgallhugwen]

Morsul has made 17 post today (when I checked, however that number could double in no time at all)
He has made 947 post in total
He fancies himself an evil lord that can take over the world and I get giddy around him *claps hands and giggles* ;) :p
And he is currently in Moria no doubt trying to recruit Balrogs for his evil plans.

[Imladris]

From her many signatures about vampyres and the fact that she once lived where vampires played, I'd say Eswen likes vampyres.

[Sirithheruwen]

Imladris is a huge fan of Harry Potter (see profile and siggy) and is a very fine Fan Fiction mod! :)

[The Only Real Estel]

Sirithheruwen is a self-proclaimed 'Teen Titan', has started 7 different threads, is confusticated & bebothered by the lack of the evil smiley, and once (at least once) pronounced the word 'token' 'Tolkien' during class :).

[Sapphire_Flame]

The Only Real Estel is 16 years old and is a referee/coach.

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[HerenIstarion]

S_F is 'aspiring author'. So far she have written three [published] poems and stories (there may be hundred more in her desk, for all we know :)):

Escape to Arda (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1795296/1/) (poem)

A Dark Mind (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/641645/1/) (story)

Vanya Sil (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1031184/1/) (poem)

Her taste in music makes her listen to Enya, Linkin Park, Evanescence and many things more (would she mind me advising her to try Nightwish (http://www.nightwish.com/) too? Having in mind the list given, I suppose she may like it. There are demos on the site)

Besides, she may have been seen *shaking fist angrily at writers of slash fics*

She was born in 1986 (July 2), so her horoscope must be Cancer (http://www.findyourfate.com/astrology/Cancer.htm) (European Astrology) and Tiger (http://www.findyourfate.com/chineseastro/tiger.htm) (Chinese). Not that I think one has to pay heed to that stuff :D

She lives in Riverton,Utah, USA. Speculating from the town name, I must assume there is a river near her dwelling, so she may be a good swimmer too (but that latter is my assumption, as it is, I do not have source to rely on :))

edit: with regards to the post below, my apologies, Diamond

So, both S_F and Di are named Sarah in real life

[Diamond18]

H-I just stole, stole I say, all the things I was going to post about Sapphire, save for the fact that she and I have the same first name (in reality).

:p

He recently bought some Star Wars DVD's, and has scored a respectable 31.3% on the Inner Geek Test found here (http://www.innergeek.us/). He used to have one of my favorite signatures at the Barrow Downs, something about it being the fate of all bannisters worth sliding down to have something nasty waiting at the end. He currently has the third highest Reputation on the Barrow Downs.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

She would have her book- stories? poems? My sources doesn't tell - published under the name "Sarah Rose", which is, after all, her real name. She celebrates her birthday on the same month as I - yay! Belated Happy Birthday! :)

She once was obsessed over the song "Unwell" by Matchbox 20. Great song, great band.

Does this fall under the Espionage Act?

[Lhunardawen]

Nilpaurion Felagund is my brother. He is the son of Finrod and Amarië of the Vanyar, and will be celebrating his 18th birthday on September 16. He joined the Downs on April Fools' Day of 2003. He wouldn't have known about LotR and the Downs if not for Lhunardawen. Or so I think. :)

[The Only Real Estel]

Luhnardawen: Started reading lotr in 2002, gets a 'wierd feeling' everytime Sauron's eye appears, envies her brother, and was upset that RotK didn't show near her until January.

[Firefoot]

The Only Real Estel originally messed up his email when he was registering, and he meant for his nick to be just Estel. He added the part "The Only Real" after that, and it shouldn't be translated as "The Only Real Hope."

[Morsul the Dark]

Firefoot has founded four topics
and has for her last 500 post mostly in the quizroom

[Sapphire_Flame]

Morsul is one year younger than I. The Darkest of Dark Lord's birthday is in four days. :D

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

edit: :p

[Mithalwen]

Morsul is one year younger than I *nyah! :p*, being that the Bean-ish Dark Lord will be turning 17 in four days. Also, Morsul would do well to acquire a grammer reference book. No offense to your Dark Lordship, but your grammer (or lack thereof) really bothers me.

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy, the natural-born copy editor ~


You might like to correct your own spelling and acquire a dictionary before you advise others to correct their grammar.

[Diamond18]

Mithalwen's name means "Grey Tree", not "Grey Maiden" as one might suspect. Her signature means "seize the jugular". Her first post ever was made in the Quiz Room, in the thread "20 Questions in ME", and at the time her brain was hurting. Apparently, she finds the mental image of Jim Morrison in a kilt appealing.

PS
Nil: my obsession has not abated, see location line. ;)

[Sirithheruwen]

Saphy is somewhat of a perfectionist (the good kind). She also has spare shields and rep points (for which I am very grateful). :p

EDIT: Whoops! Diamond was reportedly raised by swamp rats ( :eek: ) and just barly posted before me. ;)

[Morsul the Dark]

Sirith likes Teen Titans and is a tree hugger
and supports the no C.A.R.B. diet

[Rinfanawen]

Morsul the Dark is a face seen often around the quiz and quotes room. He has, I believe, set the record for the highest average posts per day, and now also for the highest average avatar changes in one week. Being just a few months older than I, he will turn 17 in 3 days, and will from then on continue in his quest for world domination. Yes, as Master of the Underworld, and, according to his avatar, one in league with the Ringwraiths, he is definitly counted as one of the most evil and "dead"ly downers around nowadays.

[The Only Real Estel]

Rinfanawen has started all of her threads in The Movies, was very disappointed when Kansas pretty well killed Duke in the NCAA Tournament two years ago, has frequented Movie Quotes & Actor's Quotes pretty often, & would be a hobbit in the Shire if she had the chance/choice.

[Gil-Galad]

Estel and Morsul are currently having a little Avvie Compitiion...though mine would win...you know...just saying


Edit: Estel is a peaceful person who randomly changes Avatars

[The Only Real Estel]

Gil-Galad: I thought you had to say something true about the person above you ;).

p.s. post on gil-galad, not me

[The Perky Ent]

Child of the Seventh Age is currently watching over an RPG in the Shire called Seekers of Truth :D

[Elennar Starfire]

The Perky Ent likes sushi.

[Gil-Galad]

Bah you missed me with perky's thing about child when it was suppose to be me!

[Morsul the Dark]

Gil thinks his Avvie would win against mine (HA!)

and is Burnating in the country side

[Gil-Galad]

Burninating the Country Side... Burninating all the Peasants...Burninating all the people including Morsul cause hes easy to Burninate....sorry where were we? btw do Morsul...

[The Perky Ent]

Woah! Cami isn't there? I could have sworn she was there!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

He lives in/near New Orleans - I think. He had the cheek of crossing swords with Finwe in the Familial Ties (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=3923&page=2) thread. I'm surprised he's still alive - or dead.

Off Topic

Nil: my obsession has not abated, see location line. (Diamond18)
Sorry. I forgot to check that. :o
I distinctly remembered a post of in I - PA concerning this song. Ah, here it is! (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=174630#post174630)

[Diamond18]

His birth name is Louis Allen Ortal. His aspirations are to finish his novels, collect enough Lego to rival the US Navy, and finish college. He claims to be a procrastinator, liar, loudmouth, and sloth, which I find very interesting because this begs the question whether he is a two or three-toed sloth -- I hear the two-toed ones have their verbose sides and the three-toed ones are given to coloring the truth (and drunkeness, but we'll not go into that here).

His favorite books are ones by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Tom Clancy, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Philip Yancey, in addition to The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas, and The Little Prince by Exupery.

He has good taste in music, being a listener of Alt Rock and similar artists, and has an extensive list of these and other favorites listed on his home page.

His avatar is of Ada Lovelace, and I used to think he was a girl because of that and his former Legally Blonde Legolas avatar. Sorry, mon.

His screenname on FictionPress.com is Widower. My condolances.

[Saraphim]

Diamond18 first signed onto the Downs three days before her eighteenth birthday. She is now nearly twenty.

Her real name is Sarah Rose, and she is a fellow member of an online writing group that I will get back to someday, I promise.

She was raised by swamp rats in the Bahamas, moved to LA, and there became some sort of shady eel dealer.

[HerenIstarion]

As was already said, Diamond18's real name is Sarah Rose (with the probable inclusion of middle name Lita :))

She shares my passion for fine rock music (one of her former signatures, if my memory is not failing me and it was hers indeed, hinted that maybe she enjoys the music by Nightwish, fascinating finnish band with female vocal. The quote in qeustions was Over the hills and far away. Or maybe it was a location? Anyways, since the sentence comes originally from the folk song, my deductions may be erroneous.

We do share passion for cats too (though how being raised by swamp rats enables one to love cats I fail to see... ;))

She is the one and only person (besides yours truly) I've seen using 'reason for editing' field above the post box. I think such a behavior should be encouraged - after all, such a field is there for a reason, eh? The latest 'reason' is 'blasted typos' (mine are usually 'dratted spelling' ones...)

She chose her nick when she was 18 (she will turn 20 on September 30, bye, crazed teenage years...). so now is stuck as Bryan Adams is - "Eighteen til I die, gonna be eighteen til I die' kind of stuff (unless UBB upgrades allow us to change screennames, so she'll be able to change hers simultaneously - Diamond19, Diamond20 etc ;))

She works in a library as a desk assistant, but, somehow I can't see her slithering among the readers saying 'sshhh!'. Probably she slacks (subject to revision once corrected) at her library work, and writes 'fantasy/horror/weird schtuff' in the library (mostly suited place for the feat, in my opinion - silence, atmosphere...)

================

Official Note (With no regards to what is written above): Hey, folks whatever happened to 'once in every ten posts or more' guideline?

*mutters under his nose: you make something voluntary, nobody does it...

It's not compulsory, yes, but be more responsible, pray!

[Morsul the Dark]

Diamond likes Daffy Duck has been a member nearly two yeas
and posts about 2.74 times a day is just under 3 years older than me making her 19 right now

and loves staring at the ceiling like me...ooh pretty white ceiling...............oh yeah post ;) ok done

[HerenIstarion]

Well, well, three cross-posts in a row, that's something!

Nevertheless:

Morsul: Complaint in my previous concerning excessive obsession with the current thread applies, alas, to him too... But that may be as he's plotting his war in the land of Mordor (the last sentence should have been chanted, I believe). In two days time I'll be sending him B-day greeting PM, but only if I find PC to do so, as tomorrow I go out the town for my vacation. So accept my best wishes for your B-day on August 22 :)

Saraphim is currently (I stalk, I do) viewing BarrowDowing Grudge Match :Gil-Galad versus Morsul (http://69.51.5.41/showthread.php?t=11075) thread. Absolutely no idea what that maybe about, promise to check once I finish posting here.

edit: Thread in question will not last long, as it is not Tolkien related whatsoever. Besides, it qualifies for Agony of Poor Spelling (http://69.51.5.41/showthread.php?t=4729), as I will never be able to guess what BarrowDowing, actually, is... :rolleyes:

Saraphim has a xanga site which is located at http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Fingolfin_II. Despite the name of the latter, she is a girl, under the name of Kira Bakke (sounds Swedish, are you of Viking descent, my lady?), born on March 16, 1988, in United States of America, or, narrowing the scope, in Las Vegas.

Probably she does not like it there, as in her location field she compares Las Vegas to Udun. But, again, I may be erring, as she may have been liking Udun in its time?

cheers

[Imladris]

HI joined the Downs in the most excellent month of September which is really cool/ironic because so many things in LotR happened in that month...

I presume he likes HP from his "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" and "Weasley is our King" sigs he's had. *grins*

[Saraphim]

under the name of Kira Bakke (sounds Swedish, are you of Viking descent, my lady? :)),
I am of Viking descent, but I believe 'Bakke' is Norwegian. My first name is Russian, but that has almost nothing to do with my lineage. :D

Do Imladris!

[Evisse the Blue]

Imladris likes SpiderMan and Harry Potter and has some pretty cool avatars. Me and her once got into an argument in the Reputations thread but we settled it peacefully without a cat fight. :p One of her past signatures was "be excellent to each other. Party on, dudes", one of my favourite quotes ever ;)

HI, you wrote about Diamond's location being 'over the hills and far away'. That used to be my location actually :D Apologies in advance if Diamond had it too...

[HerenIstarion]

My memory failed me, than. My apologies, Evisse.

Since I'm not willing to swim contrary to my own stream of 'no less than ten posts in between', I will refrain from extended revision of Evisse's biography ;) and satisfy your curiosity with the brief note:

If 'over the hills and far away' were indeed drawn from Nightwish's song, than, like Diamond18, Evisse the Blue must also be 'connoisseur of fine rock music' :)

The participant after me, pray review Evisse the Blue, not yours truly :D

Tip: Nighwish released new album recently, under the name of Once. It may be a safe bet to say something along the following lines: Yestereve Evisse, being higher than hope, was enjoying some music and wishing she had an angel...

Respectfully kidding,

yours

[Maédhros]

Well, H-I, is a pal of mine who used to be involved in the Revised Silmarillion Project in the downs and hopefully has read and will comment on what we did on our Fall of Gondolin chapter.
;)

[Evisse the Blue]

Gosh, HI, never joke like that again... :D I wince at purple prose, but I appreciate the fact that you're yourself a connoisseur of Nightwish song titles.

Please do Maedhros next.

[Diamond18]

Before I do Maedhros:

Sorry, H-I, I've never listened to Nightwish. (Except for some Amazon.com samples). You were indeed thinking of Evisse with that location line. My definition of "fine rock music" is a bit tongue in cheek, since I listen to a lot of alt rock which isn't supposed to be as highfalutin' as my phrasing. ;)

Actually, I would love to have the screenname "Diamond20" and would gladly keep it even after I turn 21, since I am after all a fan of Matchbox 20. ;) However, I might confuse people with the change, so being forever young is not bad either.

And exactly ten posts have elapsed since I last posted!

Maedhros

His birthday is December 10th, but he does not divulge the year. Could he be older trying to appear younger or younger wanting to be older? Or ageless? Hmmmmm....

He averages .65 posts per day, and has started 29 threads. He appears to be actively involved in the Revised Silmarillion Project. He also may be lacking one hand.

[Maédhros]

Diamond18, aim handle is sarah_lita_rose. But I don't know why, but for the longest time I thought that she was a he. :(

She is very friendly with all of the fellow downers and will someday venture into the dark depths of the Revised Silmarillion Project. :D

P.S. She may like Daffy duck. ;)

[Morsul the Dark]

our good friend Maedros was born on december second and doesnt post much he has .65 posts per day and thinks without outside intervention Hobbits are all good natured...

[Mithalwen]

Morsul has an uncle named Deithelm, who I think must be a marshall of the Riddermark ...... he has one cousin who is a grade A swimming team captain and another who is a grade D football goalie ....

[paavo]

if mithalwen would have joined the fellowship she would probably have gone as far as Bree. She has had a brief teaching career in a "sink" school with a lot of very troubled and difficult kids.

[Sirithheruwen]

pavvo was born on November 10 and lives in Finland.

[Mithalwen]

if mithalwen would have joined the fellowship she would probably have gone as far as Bree.

When I posted that I had forgotten about the Barrow Wights..... so actually I think I would have tagged along with Gildor :P

Sirirtheruwen next.....

[Gil-Galad]

Sirth wonders if her Starfire avvies scares ...Eomer i think...or another downer

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

He is a quizzer. He is conscious of his number of posts. He plays quite a lot of strategy games on computer.

[Morsul the Dark]

well first off NP is killing me in Cryptic Clues ;)

Secondly he's no very religous

and he has kept his sig for very long time shooiting for a world record Forever I believe it was? :rolleyes:

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Morsul is the member who changes his avatar the most, me thinks...
His interests according to his profile are: Making Scrumdibliumptious bars, Sizzling Slugworth, Make everlasting gobstoppers, and Odd outfits, whatever that means...
And he can be frequently be found in the Quiz area!

[The Only Real Estel]

Mariska Greenleaf thinks that Karl Urban is 'attractive', & loved his role as Eomer. She somehow knew that Tolkien once participated in a swimming contest while wearing a hat & smoking his pipe. She's never had a dream about lotr (that she can remember), is obviously big on quote games, & she joined the Barrowdowns in June of 2003.

[Sleepy Ranger]

The Only Real Estel's favorite movies are Van Helsing and Pirates of the Carribean. His favorite character in Van Helsing is er, Van Helsing and in PotC is Captain Jack Sparrow. He has very good taste in characters and movies, I daresay.

[Evisse the Blue]

Sleepy loves video games and plays a lot of sports. He set a record by playing VGs for 17 hours straight. He knows the LOTR books almost by heart judging by his posts in the Quotable Quotes.
He likes vampire movies, apparently. :p

[Sapphire_Flame]

Evisse was born on January 15, 1982, and is thus four years older than me. Interests include X-Files, hiking, and ice skating; is a self-employed daydreamer.

Evisse also has a much lofty sig, based on a segment of Alice In Wonderland (I think. Was that poem in Wonderland or Through the Looking-glass?)

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[Elennar Starfire]

Saphy is two years older than me. She is a Chair-person on the Golden Ring Marathon. (Why have ye left us, Saphy? Why?)

[Sirithheruwen]

Elennar is a fellow Eomer stalker. She also has a location that I envy muchly. ;) And she, too, tends to write depressing poetry (so she says). She also does NOT have blue eyes (contrary to popular belief). They're hazel/green.

[InklingElf]

Siri is quite impeccably Starfire's associate in stalking Eomer, the most important item on her biography are her issues, she has taken a liking to her Teen Titans avatar and apparently loves to publish prose on fictionpress.net.

[Morsul the Dark]

Inkling writes short stories and is currently working on one called "Samm"

and she is a highschool sophmore

[Imladris]

Morsul wants to teach English because of his love for Romeo and Juliet.

[The Only Real Estel]

Imladris is into Phoenix(es), saves me time by resizing any potential avatars I've found that need re-sizing, & considers Fordim to be proffessorish.

[Orofaniel]

TOR Estel likes swimming and basketball. His favourite BD threads are :
"What do other BDers look like?"-" Know yer mates, or a Member Above Ye" - "Grima Crying??? "

[Elennar Starfire]

And she, too, tends to write depressing poetry (so she says).
PM me if ye want proof...I'll send ye an example.

Next person do Orofaniel.

[Lhunardawen]

Orofaniel has probably one of the most insane avatars I have ever seen...and I love it. She joined the Downs on April 27 of the previous year and has exactly 1.5 average posts per day. She thinks boredom is an occupation. :)

[Gil-Galad]

Lhunardawen
-Reads Artemis Fowl, the book
-Apparently favors the quote about near-sighted elves and such
-Has glasses
-Her hair confuses her

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Gil-galad is a huge fan of http://www.homestarrunner.com and has great taste in avatars. His sigs nearly always match his avatar (maybe always, I'm just covering all my bases with the 'nearly'). His posts tend to crack me up, and his location is simply brilliant.

Fea

[Mithalwen]

Feanor is an artist, about 5"3 and she abhors yellow as a colour for clothes.

[Morsul the Dark]

Mithalwen

Morsul is a candy man apparently and his b'day is on the 22nd of August and he seems to have taken a liking to Willy Wonka.

[paavo]

Sleepy Ranger doesn't like the Harry Potter movies but enjoys the books. He also likes to cook.

[Lhunardawen]

-Reads Artemis Fowl, the book


Quite frankly, I'm amazed I even love the book considering they have pixie elves...
Treachery! Treachery! :D

Please do paavo next.

[InklingElf]

Lhunardawen:Has one of those '-wen' names that are beautifully unpronouncable and she believes being a 'Barrowdowner' is a (or would like to believe) bona fide Occupation.

Sometimes it does feel like a job. Heh.

AND lest I forget....

paavo:Paavo's username is his name, he's from Finland, (i asume) that's him in his avatar, he loves to play sports (aikido being one of them -- YES!).

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

. . . so please, don't make it die.
:rolleyes:

Anywhen, InklingElf joined the Downs September 9, 2002 - wow, Advanced Happy Death Day! - and is a sophomore at the San Fransisco School of Arts.

[The Saucepan Man]

... is quite easy to profile because he has a home page link on his BD profile.

His name is Louis Ortal and I believe that he hails from the Phillippines. He has an on-line alter ego called Adam. He does not have internet access at home and so is only able to post when he has access to the computers at his college (which is the middle of the night for me). His sister is another BD member, Lhunardawen.

He often frequents the Quiz and Quotes rooms and is particularly good at the cryptic clue and password games.

His posts are generally extremely amusing (although I attribute this largely to Adam ;) ).

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Our beloved Saucie is a Monty Python fan, who is reminded by Faramir's Osgiliath retreat of "Run away, run away!!!" from MP and the Holy Grail. He is fond of the image of himself being a strong-statured, pipe-smoking, generally hobbitish person, and is "irresistably drawn" to Fordim's Canonicity thread.

[Imladris]

Feanor's favorite 'new' threads are Fordim's doing and she was born in the year 1987.

[Lhunardawen]

Amazingly, Imladris has been a Downer for merely a year and two months, yet is already a moderator! She moderates the Fan Fiction forum at the previous BD site along with Son of Numenor, and this is most probably the reason for the personal title she now already has. She will be celebrating his birthday at the 28th of this month. I believe she likes the Harry Potter books, judging from her signature.

[The Perky Ent]

Lhunardawen thought Imladris was a guy :D

[Gil-Galad]

Perky knows Bill and Teds excellent adventure but very litte about x-files

[Sleepy Ranger]

Gil-Galad detests a person called uruk-hai987 in a strategy war game and the girls in his neighbourhood call him, "Hey you in those bushes"
