Which Downer Am I!

[symestreem]

symestreem! I've heard many good things about you :)

However, you're not right.

Knowing who you probably heard it from, I'm not particularly cheered... :eek:

Is it Encaitare?

[Durelin]

Quite!

[symestreem]

Frankenstein pen. :)

[Glirdan]

B-W comes to mind...yet I think it's probably more cryptic isn't it?

[symestreem]

No, and no.

:)

[Alcarillo]

Crystal Heart comes to mind, being an RPer and having "risen from the dead".

[symestreem]

Crystal Heart comes to mind, being an RPer and having "risen from the dead".

You're on the right track with the last part of your statement, but it's not Crystal Heart.

Actually, come to think of it, you're on the right track with the second part of your statement, too.

[Lhunardawen]

What in Arda are you doing here, symestreem? :eek: (And yes, I'm not used to calling you that - not anymore.)

Anyways, Diamond18? A way wild guess here. Well, she's an RPer, and she has just lately roamed around the rest of the forum again.

[symestreem]

What in Arda are you doing here, symestreem? :eek: (And yes, I'm not used to calling you that - not anymore.)

Anyways, Diamond18? A way wild guess here. Well, she's an RPer, and she has just lately roamed around the rest of the forum again.

Bothering your brother. ;)

Nope, not Diamond18. Here's a hint: the clue refers to a personal title.

[Kath]

Knowing who you probably heard it from, I'm not particularly cheered... :eek:
All good I promise :D

Envinyatar?

[symestreem]

All good I promise :D

Envinyatar?

Yes! The Quill Revenant.

[Kath]

Wow, wasn't expecting that to be right! Erm, have a simple one :)

Rhyming is dangerous.

[mormegil]

Rimbaud

Perilous poet.

[Kath]

That's the one morm, take it away.

[mormegil]

Let's see how this one goes.

My pronunciation I keep secret.

[Kath]

OK I have two guesses. I want to say them now so I don't worry about being told they're wrong later :D

Bethberry or burrahobbit.

[JennyHallu]

paavo?

[Orominuialwen]

Davem? I remember there being some confusion about whether his name was pronounced dave-em or da-vem.

[symestreem]

Wow... Orominuialwen, you could be a candidate yourself! How do you say your name?

[Orominuialwen]

Wow... Orominuialwen, you could be a candidate yourself! How do you say your name?
Or-oh-min-ooh-ee-AL-wen. At least that's how I say it, but my Quenya and Sindarin (it's sort of a mix of the two) pronunciation is notoriously bad.

[mormegil]

None of the above, sorry. She, yes it's a female, mentioned this specifically in a certain thread.

[Kath]

Fea?

[mormegil]

No and she's in the top 60 of total rep. That should narrow it down a bit.

[Valier]

Could it be Thinlomien?

[Anguirel]

Surely

Marileangorifurnimaluim

[mormegil]

None of the above, she has come and said that her pronunciation is a secret that perhaps she doesn't know for certain.

[symestreem]

Roa_Aoife?

[mormegil]

No but this person PMed me and guessed it was her correctly. She said she wouldn't post the answer but if she feels so inclined she may.

[Kath]

Roa?

[Diamond18]

If I make take the liberty of two guesses:

Maeggaladiel

or

Amanaduial the archer



But I think it's Maeggaladiel....

[Valier]

I believe Maeggaladiel is a guy.:)

[Glirdan]

I'm inclined to guess Oromin, yet I don't think it's her...

[mormegil]

None of the above...let me narrow this down even further. Her rep has carried her into at least the top 30.

[Glirdan]

Then my next guess is Celuien.

[Valier]

How 'bout Diamond18?

[mormegil]

Nope though if you keep guessing you'll eventually be correct. I believe the thread where she stated this was the one about Fordim and the difficulty in spelling some fellow Downers names. However the conversation evolved into pronunciation. I haven't located the thread but it really should be that tough now.

[Diamond18]

Meneltarmacil?

(But I thought Menel was a he?)

The only other one I can think of is Lalaith, though I have no trouble pronouncing her name....

[Glirdan]

Well, the only other ones I can think of would be Lalwendë or Esty, yet I don't find either of them overly difficult to pronounce.

[mormegil]

Menel is male so no and Glidan even though you guessed twice neither is correct.

Come on, it's really not that difficult.

[mormegil]

Found the thread and it wasn't the Fordim thread, sorry.

[Diamond18]

Surely it's not Farael because he's a guy.

[symestreem]

There is one (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=406233&postcount=79) on the Fordim thread as well, Orominuialwen, but Glirdan already guessed her.

Is it Anguirel?

[mormegil]

No.

Ang is a male but this female shares something in common with him that very few others, if any, in the top 30 do.

[symestreem]

Ang is a male...

That's the second time I've done that tonight. Sorry, Anguirel. :(

Mithalwen?

[Glirdan]

Mithalwen?

When you think about this one, it really does fit because there are many ways you could pronounce her name. As well, a thing they have in common is their none Avvatar's. So morm, what is your judgement before I give up entirely? :rolleyes:

[JennyHallu]

I'm going to guess Celuien.

[mormegil]

Mithalwen is correct!

Thank you.

I've never seen so many double guesses :p.

Are my clues too difficult or to vague?

[symestreem]

Too difficult to follow up, for me. I couldn't find the thread where she was unsure about the pronounciation of her name, even when I thought it was her. It was the avatar clue that gave it away.

He haunts Marx.

[Lhunardawen]

I believe Maeggaladiel is a guy.:)
She's a she. :)

I'll take a stab at this, symestreem...Thenamir?

[symestreem]

Yep! :)

[Lhunardawen]

Because I was put on the spot, here's something...weird.

Does it play with fire?

[Diamond18]

Arry?

[Lhunardawen]

Nope. :)

At one point it follows the last few questions.

[Valier]

Is it Pyroclastic Lhuna?

[Lhunardawen]

'Fraid not.

And 'fraid it's too nonsensical that only a nonsensical girl like me can make any sense out of it.

A hint: Look at the PTs...and think flame instead of fire. That should do the trick. I hope.

[Kath]

spawn? Mischievous Candle?

[Lhunardawen]

Does this mean you're nonsensical too? :p

The thread is yours, Kath. :)

[Kath]

Maybe I just know the way your mind works :D

Ok, this makes sense to me, but may not to anyone else:

Straight-talking solid.

[Mithalwen]

Straight talking suggests Boromir88's PT "Laconic Loreman"

[the guy who be short]

Or SpM's logical mind, coupled with his Saucepan's holding liquids, which are antagonistic to solids.

Yes, it's a stretch. I'm trying to think like a nut.

[Kath]

:p Thanks guy.

No to both I'm afraid.

Think opposites.

[symestreem]

piosenniel?

Hey, it makes sense to me! ;)

[Kath]

Not pio either.

[Diamond18]

Bethberry.... Cryptic Aura

[Kath]

That's the one Di.

And to anyone who thought solid was a rubbish opposite for aura, you try and come up with one!

[Glirdan]

Hey Kath, try Chi or Karma. True they're not the best, but I think that you're clue might have been easier if you used them. Still, I'll give you props for trying to come up with a word that can be linked to Aura. Good job! :D

[Diamond18]

(Actually, I thought that clue was pretty obvious. :D)

This should also be easy.

Burninating the countryside.

[symestreem]

TAnd to anyone who thought solid was a rubbish opposite for aura, you try and come up with one!

Hmm... well, aura comes from the late Middle English for breeze (and from there, from Latin from Greek), so perhaps 'gale' would have worked. Only that would have been even more obscure! ;)

Or 'vacuum' could have stood in opposition to its meaning of 'atmosphere.' I actually thought it was a good clue; you just started me thinking. And my attempts reinforce your notion of the difficulty of finding an antonym...

[Glirdan]

Um, burrahobbit?

[Kitanna]

Burninating the countryside.
Gil-Galad?

[Diamond18]

Kitanna has it.

Glirdan: www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.htm ;)

[Kitanna]

Ok, been quite a long time since I had to come up with a clue. So it'll be pretty easy:

Look in a puddle to see this Downer

[symestreem]

Not to be egotistical, but is it me?

[Kitanna]

Yeah, it's you symestreem.

[symestreem]

A rattling coffin.

This one might be a little more difficult...

[mormegil]

Hookbill?

Alive without breath

[symestreem]

Nope. The Downer I'm thinking of isn't so well known as Hookbill.

[Durelin]

Orual, as the "Speaker of the Dead?"

A bit far-fetched, maybe... And Orual is pretty well known, though she definitely does not post as often as Hookbill does.

[symestreem]

You have the dead theme right, but it's not Orual...

This member hasn't been around in a long time, though I remember him/her from my earliest days at the 'Downs.

[Durelin]

Hmm...galpsi, then, maybe, as 'The Unquiet Dead?'

Let me tell you, digging for that name was a walk down memory lane. :eek: ;)

Though I guess I don't go far back enough to actually remember the name I just guessed...

[symestreem]

You are correct.

And I guess remembering him makes me an old fogey... ;)

[Durelin]

Okey, here we go...

From way back...millennia, even

[Valier]

Is it either...

Waynethegoblin, or even the 1,000th reader?

[Durelin]

Nope.

Much farther back than that...and the 'millennia' part is in fact a hint to the name itself.

[symestreem]

Sounds like someone from before the switchover to VBB-- but that could be a lot of people...

But if it's someone well-known, is it Kate, onewhitetree?

[Durelin]

Nope.

Yes, it's someone from before the switch.

But the 'millennia' part is something altogether different. It's a clue to the name of the person itself, not just how old of a member they are.

[mormegil]

HCIsland for his static 1000 posts.

[Durelin]

Nope.

The 'millennia' part is directly linked to the person's name.

The 'HC' part, at least, is actually kinda close, though...

[symestreem]

Pallando B.C?

[Durelin]

Yep!

I was hoping my clues weren't too stupid...I suppose they were fairly odd, though...

Your thread again, symestreem. :)

[symestreem]

Medieval weaponry, meet a tint poll.

:D

[Kath]

Evisse the blue?

[symestreem]

Nope!

[Valier]

How about Envinyatar?

[symestreem]

No. This member's name doesn't have anything to do with medieval weaponry or tinted polls.

Nice sig, Valier!

[Diamond18]

I was going to say OneAxetoRuleThemAll (I think that's a Downer) but now that medeval weaponry apparently doesn't have anything to do with it....

Is it an anagram?

[symestreem]

Part of it is an anagram, yes.

[symestreem]

The medieval weaponry was meant as a hint, and here's another: go for a walk. Figuratively. But stay in the category ("Middle-Earth Fun and Games".)

[Kath]

Erm . . . lmp?

[symestreem]

Yes! :)

(The medieval weaponry was meant to direct one to the Arrows 'n' Bows thread over in Mirth, which comprises anagrams. And meet a tint poll is indeed an anagram of littlemanpoet.)

Your thread, Kath!

[Kath]

Ah too complex for me, I needed the clue :D

Nomadic piece of history.

[Mithalwen]

Hilde Bracegirdle - Relic of Wandering days?

[Kath]

Ack! Must have been too easy :p Your thread Mith.

[Mithalwen]

No ..just unlucky ... it just happened to ring a bell ... Hilde is a croney from the old codgers club..... :p

[Mithalwen]

Beethoven 73 : Haydn 76

[Valier]

Could it be Encaitare? with the bittersweet symphony?

[Mithalwen]

Could it be Encaitare? with the bittersweet symphony?


Well neither is a symphony and it is more topical..:D

[Celuien]

Anguirel the Emperor Penguin, Concerto and Quartet?

[Mithalwen]

Indeed, thread is all yours... :D

[Celuien]

:D

Turn the top e over, if you insist. You won't find the stone giant or woman there.

[mormegil]

This has baffled me and I humbly request a hint.

[Celuien]

Hint:

If you don't find the giant or woman, you may find their opposites.

Turn around is a cryptic instruction. ;)

EDIT: And the clue refers to a screen name.

[mormegil]

The Guy Who Would Be Short.

A wonderful clue but sadly given to a lethargic mind. :rolleyes:

[Celuien]

On the right track... But no. ;)

[mormegil]

Okay...

Littlemanpoet...

too many of these short men around here.

[Celuien]

You have it!

Also: turn around -> anagram of top e -> poet

You got the rest already.

The thread is yours.

[mormegil]

Perhaps this will work hopefully it's not too vague.

The first of the first on the first in a series of many but not in Wilwa's threads

[Celuien]

I'm probably being too literal here, (and too obsessed with a certain topic in Mirth ;)) but:

Series of many - the werewolf threads.
First of the series - the original TiG thread
First on the thread - The Barrow-Wight, who was not in Wilwa's game.

So, The Barrow-Wight?

[mormegil]

No but it was a good thought.

[mormegil]

Okay are hints needed?

[Celuien]

Okay are hints needed?
Quite possibly. :)

I'm stumped...

[Gil-Galad]

Davem perhaps because he began the first Polls on the Downs?

EDIT: or H-I... i'm confused but whomever made the most Polls in the downs

[Celuien]

I'm thinking that Wilwa's threads might be cryptic...but the only non-butterfly thread I can come up with is a spider's web (spider instead of butterfly/silkworm silk).

So, that would give me dancing spawn of ungoliant with Ungoliant as the first spider, but I have serious doubts.

From too literal to too symbolic. :rolleyes:

[mormegil]

No, Wilwa isn't cryptic as much as a hint to help you get on the right track. Use a Wilwa thread for a clue but realize it's WW related. :D

[Celuien]

Last guess for the night:

Mithalwen, as the first person to have a Barrow-Downs dream analyzed by our own Dr. Elempi Dream (as far as I can tell). The dream was werewolf related, and not posted on Wilwa's dream thread, but instead on the "Your LOTR Dream" thread by laziieye.

And I'll need some rest before puzzling over this one anymore. :p

EDIT: My mistake. That would be Cailin, not Mithalwen, whose dream was analyzed. Mith made a werewolf related comment that was incorporated into the post...

Good night.

[mormegil]

The expression "You're so close, yet so far" would be appropriate here :D

[Mithalwen]

Wasn't Shelob the first ever werewolf victim? But I don't get the Wilwa ref unless she played a bit longer in that game...

[Celuien]

Ah ha. She wasn't in Wilwa's game...

That might just be it.

[mormegil]

You are both very close but your too focused on Wilwa's game, I said nothing of her game only her threads.

[Mithalwen]

Well apart from WWX she has started 3 threads. Barrow downs dreams..... What colour is Legolas' Hair and double scrambled quotes......

So it (self obsessedly) be me since I don't tend to have dreams of my own.

Or it could be Legolas himself ...or

It could be something completely different...

[mormegil]

It could be something completely different

Again I think you are to focused on the Wilwa part. It was only meant to give you an indicating of what the first was.

[Durelin]

Okay, here are my guesses (I'm such a cheat with two...):

1. It's you, because you were the first to sign up on the very first WW game (is one allowed to pick him/herself, though?) :p

2. It's Anguirel, as the first Wolf to be lynched in the game (and actually the first person to be killed period, I think...).

[mormegil]

Durelin you are getting very close but you haven't added up all the 'firsts'.

And yes one is allowed to pick oneself.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Is it Feanor of the Peredhil?

The first in the first refers to the players who played in that game.

The first of that lot to post in the actual game was Fea.

[mormegil]

The First in the first (game) on the first.

The first game is correct. Other than that you are close but no.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

If you stare at the word 'first' long enough, it begins to look really weird. :D

So the game itself is the second 'first'? I thought it must be the third 'first' because the third 'first' is the one in the series.

[mormegil]

It really could go any way I guess....

In the first game on the first....

[Valesse]

Perhaps you mean that it was the first game on the first of a month... or the first person to post on the first of a month? Or, maybe, a year?

[mormegil]

No I meant the first WW game ever!

I'm moderately egocentric okay. (there's a hint)

Edit: Think of how you can add in the Wilwa's thread bit into the mix and how it could relate to firsts.

[Mithalwen]

Well I did wonder if it were you Morm dear, as the first seer but I you didn't play Wilwa's game. However Kuruharan was the first victorious werewolf (in the first game) but in Wilwas he was the Werewolf Hunter. Is that it?

[mormegil]

No sorry. Remember I'm a bit egocentric here, so it's something I did.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Good grief... Aime was right about looking at the word 'first'. It doesn't even make sense any more!

The first of the first on the first in a series of many but not in Wilwa's threads
*looks at the original Tol-in-Gaurhoth thread, on page 10 where the June 1st posts begin*

First thread... on the first... first post was Holby, but the first person that volunteered to play that day was mormegil who was also, interestingly enough, the very first to volunteer to play WW on the 'Downs at all...

Hold on... Morm was the first of the first players, and he was also the first player to volunteer on the first of June on the first of the Werewolf threads... but he um... didn't play in Wilwa's game...

I hate the word first now, morm. Thanks much. :p

[mormegil]

GACK!!!

Okay sorry this clue is awful...let me spell it a little more clearly. It does have something to do with the first WW game ever it has absolutely NOTHING to do with Wilwa's game. Something from a thread Wilwa created gives you a clue about what the first was in the first WW game.

Hope that helps.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Firefoot!

[mormegil]

YES!!

YES!!!

YES!!!!

She was the first person dreamt of in the first game on the frist night...Wilwa's BD dreams was the clue on that, it also got you to WW.

Thank you good sir and the thread is gladly yours.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Morm, that was a really entertaining clue. The fact that it took us so long reflects only on its intricacies. :)

Celuien, that's exactly why I didn't explain my answer. I knew that it might be crucial to save a few moments and just get my answer out there. :D

I'll go think of a clue.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

This might be very easy if anyone remembers it. If not, then it might require a clue.

The Downs' notorious sly teen.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

It's an anagram. :rolleyes: :p

[Anguirel]

Sorry for being so dim Eomer...should have got it long ago

Estelyn of course

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Bingo Baggins! :D

Take it away.

[Anguirel]

Hmmm.

Depraved at dusk

[Glirdan]

Would this be in reference to an avatar? Because if so, my guess would be Esty.

[Anguirel]

'Fraid avatars are red herrings in this particular case.

[Valier]

Could it be Fea's? The Bringer red dawn

[Anguirel]

I'm dealing with dusk, not dawn! But you're looking at the right thingamajig. Keep searching...

[Mithalwen]

Nuramaiel - Vice of Twilight. ?

[Anguirel]

I surrender. Yours, Mith!

[Mithalwen]

Thanks,

Note that the difference is a majority

[Valier]

I swear I will get one of these one day......:rolleyes: Could it be Saucepanman? He is the person on top of the list for reps.... and the difference is a majority...:D

[Mithalwen]

No... and the clue would apply to the person regardless of their palce in the list. Think of other meanings :D

[mormegil]

Fordim? A possible stretch but he does have the majority of polls and he usually chooses the answer which conforms to the majority.

[Mithalwen]

Again I Say think of other meanings............

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Looking in the thesaurus, I find that 'majority' can also mean 'adulthood', 'manhood', 'womanhood' or 'seniority'. I never knew that. Is the clue to do with that?

Maybe we're looking for our oldest Downer?

[Mithalwen]

Eomer ..that is the meaning I was thinking of.... :D but not the right conclusion

[The Saucepan Man]

In the UK and many other countries, the legal age of majority is 18. So ...

Diamond18?

[Mithalwen]

You are getting warmer but the rest of the clue is not irrelevant..... I do try, but not always succeed, to follow the conventions.

[mormegil]

note=posts


The Saucepan Man as his post count exceeds that of everybody else.

[Mithalwen]

you are right to think of note but you are getting cooler on the whole. 18 is significant too.... the whole clue should "work" . If the Pan Man gets it easily now I will know it has.

[mormegil]

Is it one of those clues only Brits would understand?

Next I simply must do an American only one. :p

[wilwarin538]

mark12_30

The difference between 12 and 30 is 18, which is the legal age of majority(like Saucie said). :D

[Mithalwen]

Well a Canadian managed .... and Note can be synonymous with Mark....

Well done wilwa!

[wilwarin538]

Thank you!

I'm not very good at coming up with questions, so this one might be easy, but it probably will require the use of Google, or another search engine. ;)


Daphne Anderson, Amanda Donohoe and Felicity Dean were all called by this Downer's name.

Good luck! :D

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Well, I came across the name Nora, and found that there was actually a Downer called that.

I have no idea what it all means.

[wilwarin538]

That's not it Eomer.

Maybe it's harder then I thought. :o

If no one gets it by tomorrow I'll give you another woman's name. :)

[Kath]

Ok, slightly random guess inspied by google - Guinevere?

[wilwarin538]

Kath got it!

The three woman I mentioned were all actresses who played Lady Guinevere in a film.

Your thread Kath. :)

[Kath]

Thanks wilwa, methinks I need to go assign Google to the Shire! :D

A name with little sanity.

Now while this makes sense to me it may not to anyone else :rolleyes:

[Gil-Galad]

hmmm... there are alot of names like that... LMP?

[Kath]

Nope.

[Kath]

Clues needed?

[Valier]

How about either Fordim or even the Perky Ent?

[Kath]

No.

It's not the actual name that indicates insanity. Also, part of the clue is an anagram. Hope that helps.

[Valier]

Anagram!!!!! :rolleyes: I'll never get it now.....Ok I'll try.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Throw in an apostrophe with some bad grammar and the whole dratted thing is

I amn't Estelyn with a tail.


So the answer is obviously not a betailed Esty... :rolleyes:

Wait!


It man Estelyn with a tail.


So all we have to do... is find a male Esty... that does have a tail!

[Kath]

Fea, though I think you're already quite aware of this, that is not the answer.

Nice try though! :D

[Kath]

Is another clue necessary?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

You know it is. :rolleyes: :p

[Kath]

Ok, well, try looking at people's locations.

[Naria]

First time guesser; long time viewer here :smokin: . I'll give it a try how about Lhuna?

[Kath]

Not Lhuna I'm afraid - but nice to see you guessing!

[mormegil]

Mithalwen?

Somewhere between flaky and barking mad

Though I'm not sure of the anagram though you can extract Mithalwen from your clue.

[Kath]

You are correct morm. The anagram bit was:

name with l ----> Mithalwen

Not a great one seeing as I'm bad at them myself, but I thought I'd give it a shot. At any rate, it's your thread :)

[mormegil]

I am often seen but seldom heard

[Diamond18]

First guess, Hookbil. His PT is Alive without breath and you if you don't have breath you can't speak, hence seldom heard. But he does a lot of graphic stuff, ergo often seen.

[mormegil]

Nope but an understandable guess.

[Glirdan]

First guesses that come to mind are Wayne or Wilwa. Both of them have been seen around quite often, yet as of recently, they became rather quiet.

[mormegil]

Again no, I fear you are both looking in the incorrect direction.

[Gil-Galad]

the Perky Ent? you always see him as a user online or viewing a thread but he usually doesn't post

[The Saucepan Man]

It is (often unfairly) said that children are best seen and not heard.

So, Child of the 7th Age?

[mormegil]

Sauce that is a good guess and I like the logic but no on both accounts.

However perhaps Chris De Burgh could be of some help.

[Diamond18]

Well, using the Chris de Burgh hint -- is it Me :rolleyes: or Fea?

He has a song called "Diamond in the Dark" and a song called "Lady in Red" which is what motivates those guesses. Yet how either of us would tie in to the first clue, I don't know.

[Diamond18]

Oh wait wait, I change my guess! JennyHallu perhaps? She has a lady in red in her avatar and being a "hallucination" she is something you usually see rather than hear.

[mormegil]

It really is a bit more literal than that Diamond but I love to see the wonderful ways in which you all think.

[Valier]

So what does Chris De Burgh have to do with anything?....I was thinking Jenny too.:)

[mormegil]

So what does Chris De Burgh have to do with anything?....I was thinking Jenny too.:)

Now if I told you that it would give away the whole thing but it is somewhat related to his song 'Lady in Red'

[Gil-Galad]

Feanor perhaps? her 'Bringer of the Red Dawn' title

[Valier]

Or Perhaps Roa? Her Avie is a red-haired girl :D

[mormegil]

No she's not a well known downer because the clue is fairly literal on not heard often. Much more so than the downers you are mentioning.

[Diamond18]

Would it be.... red?

I don't think she's been here in years. :p

Or, possibly, Rhod the Red.

[mormegil]

Diamond, if you don't get this soon I may have to whip you! :p ;)

[Valier]

Weird guess but.... Mr Underhill?

[mormegil]

Cross Devo with Chris De Burgh and it may help.

[Diamond18]

I see. A lady in red who whips it good. I am begining to fear for this thread. :p

But I still don't know the answer unfortunately. Does someone have a reference to Devo in their location/sig? I know that someone has "Just what is Devo whipping anyway?" or something of that sort, but that might be someone on a different forum.

[mormegil]

I see. A lady in red who whips it good.

And yet you're not seeing it.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I feel like guessing Lush, but I don't know why. . .

[Valier]

Does it have anything to do with Balrogs?:D

[mormegil]

Does it have anything to do with Balrogs?:D

No, and it's much easier than you are making it :) . Think literal here...seen often heard seldom (if ever) lady in red and whip it. I think those truly are sufficient clues to get it, but if more are needed I can help.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I take that it was not Lush then. . .

[mormegil]

I take that it was not Lush then. . .

Sorry but no.

You were on the correct track when you were thinking of avatar's ;)

[Kath]

Is it **sparkle fairy**? Her avatar is a woman in red holding what looks like a whip.

[mormegil]

Is it **sparkle fairy**? Her avatar is a woman in red holding what looks like a whip.

Yes!!!

Thanks. Whenever I click on 'Members List' she is the easiest person to pick out as she is the first avatar on there and it's a motion avvie. She hasn't posted in over a year and when she did it was seldom, hence seen often but heard seldom.

An interesting side note the day I started this guess, 7/28 I believe, was her birthday but it was merely coincidental.

Have at her Kath.

[Kath]

And yet I skimmed right past her every time I headed to the members list to search :rolleyes: Well happy birthday sparkle if you're reading this.

Screaming creature in mythical city.

Easy, but I'm not sure as to my level of access next few days.

[mormegil]

Guinevere

Good clue as she is the Banshee of Camelot. She and I had too much interaction in Palantir of Fortune to forget this.

[Kath]

Correct of course.

[mormegil]

Followed by another fairly easy one...if not the easiest ever.

Oiolossë

[Valier]

Kath? everlasting whiteness....

[mormegil]

Kath? everlasting whiteness....

Certainly.

It's yours. :D

[Valier]

Are you freakin' kidding me??!!! *Cheers* YAY!!!! this is my first time ever getting one!!! Ok I'll have one shortly.....

[Valier]

This may only make sense to me.....:p


I have at least one family relation.

[Glirdan]

My first guess would have to be either Lhuna or Nilp, both of them having at least one family relation.

[Gil-Galad]

Wilwa too...

[Valier]

nope, none of those...:D

[Diamond18]

Ehm... Caran or Aiwendil?

Lote22 or WaynetheGoblin?

Taliesin or Cailín?

Is this on the totally wrong track? Because there's so many people that clue could apply to. :p

[Kitanna]

Could it be Oro?

[Valier]

Nope none of those either.....Your not on the right track. :)

[Celuien]

Elronds_daughter?

[Kitanna]

Elladan and Elrohir?

[Valier]

Elronds_daughter?

Elladan and Elrohir?


nope... :D

[Lhunardawen]

A clue, a clue! Give us a clue!

[Valier]

Ok it is not someone who is related to another Downer.....

[Gil-Galad]

HighKingFingolfin? because alot of downers names are realted, in the book, to fingolfin

[Valier]

Good guess, but no.... :p

[Kath]

How about Fea?

[Valier]

Nope. :D

[Diamond18]

Rune Son of Bjarne?

[Valier]

Good one Diamond, you got it!! :) Take it away.....

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I like Diamond. . . the rest of you guys suck! :( ;) (that means, that I was a bit sad to see how long it took for you to guess, but I don't think you suck)

[Diamond18]

:) Well as soon as I was able to rule out Downers related to each other, you were the first BDer who came to mind. I would have guessed sooner but I was absent.

Anyway, here's mine:

Harvey Danger, SC style with a kaboodle

[Diamond18]

Ahem, is anyone even trying? /:}

I'm not giving hints without guesses. :p Actually, I don't know that I can even give any more clues without just giving you the answer.... :p

[Valier]

Umm well I know Harvey Danger is a band....but the other part of your question is stumping me.... :p
