Barrow-Downers' quotes/signatures

[Amanaduial the archer]

The thread is about old signatures Barrowdowners have had, and the point of the game is guess/remember who had the signature which the asker puts forward. That is the point: read the first post in the thread, it helps. smilies/smile.gif

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

... when the morning stars sang for joy.

Hmmm, I was trying to find one that would be very difficult to figure out. Alas, I'm certain that it won't be too hard... smilies/wink.gif

[ 5:48 PM November 28, 2003: Message edited by: Aylwen Dreamsong ]

[Aethelwine]

Well, that smilies/wink.gif-smiley makes me think it's an old siggie of yourself, Aylwen!

So here's my guess: is it yours?

Bye!

Aethelwine.

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Sorry, Aethelwine, it was not mine. smilies/biggrin.gif Perhaps a hint? The person did put their siggy in the graveyard. smilies/smile.gif

-Aylwen

[Amanaduial the archer]

Mark 12_30?

I like your new one actually, Aylwen - lovely...

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Thank you, great shade of luminescence (synonyms for starlight are hard to find! smilies/wink.gif) and yes, it was mark12_30's sig a long time ago.

Please proceed!

-Aylwen

[Amanaduial the archer]

Oh I rather like that, Aylwen... smilies/wink.gif

I shouldn't think this one should be too hard, and it is still in use, but I do love this signature, so here you go...

A cynic is someone who - when smelling flowers - looks around and expects to find a coffin.

[Aethelwine]

Amanaduial, isn't that Mariska Greenleaf's? I'm sure it is!

Bye,

Aethelwine.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Correct indeed, Aethelwine. Your turn, your wightiness!

[Aethelwine]

I'm yours to command, most Honorabele Shadow of Starlight!

I live for scraps.

Hint: it's a quote, not a siggie.

Have fun!

Aethelwine.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Gah! I've seen that I'm certain... is that Diamond18?

[Aethelwine]

No, I'm afraid that is not right, hiril nîn. Good guess though! smilies/wink.gif

Have fun searching!

Aethelwine.

[ 4:36 PM December 05, 2003: Message edited by: Amanaduial the archer ]

[Aethelwine]

Wow, that was quick!!! Have to search harder next time...

The room/field/floor or whatever is all yours, my lady! Go right ahead!

Navaer,
Aethelwine.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Lovely..thankyou Aethelwine smilies/smile.gif

Ok, lets have another quote, why not... I cannot bear the sight of him, or of any man

smilies/wink.gif

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Oh, Aman, I'm almost positive that's from Brotherhood....only I can't find the quote...I'm assuming it's Melost though, after the betrayal. Is that enough? smilies/biggrin.gif

-Aylwen

[Amanaduial the archer]

Specially for you Dorl- Aylwen. smilies/wink.gif

Technically, yes, Melost said it...but who was the Downer?

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Hmm, it was before the betrayal, at any rate. I went through to find it and the Downer to post the quote was Cuthalion, and it was when Thelian and Dorlas were getting drunk. smilies/biggrin.gif

I knew the quote was familiar.... smilies/tongue.gif

-Aylwen

[Amanaduial the archer]

Yep, specially for you, m'dear - it appeared in the post after as well. Oh, whose post would that be... smilies/wink.gif

Your turn, O Air of Agony smilies/smile.gif

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Why thank you, uhh, Spirit of the Night Sky(?)

Anyway, sorry I took so long. This is a quote, and I just saw it so it's not buried anywhere too tough. smilies/smile.gif

Well, physically I'm 18, but spiritually I'm about twelve.

Hmmm...

-Aylwen

[Amanaduial the archer]

Now I know I guessed this before and it was wrong, and I know she is now older, but really, I'm not just using this as a backup: is it Diamond18?

[The Saucepan Man]

It's Oddwen.

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Your go, Saucepan Man! smilies/tongue.gif

-Aylwen

[The Saucepan Man]

Thank you Aylwen. smilies/smile.gif

Now, which forthright frequenter of the forums described his or her discussion style thus:

In Sumo wrestling, the object is merely to shove your opponent out of the combat circle, whereas I prefer to crush opponents flat with a flying leap off the top rope. Someday I hope to actually accomplish the discussion-forum equivalent of this feat.

And I don't doubt it, either! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Finwe]

Guinevere?

[The Saucepan Man]

Hmm, Guinevere may take no prisoners when it comes to Quotes games, but I don't think that's her style on the discussion boards. smilies/eek.gif smilies/wink.gif

No, it wasn't Guinevere.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Now that's a quote I recognize - all the more humorous because it was said by one of the nicest, most intelligent, and funniest members there is, Mister Underhill!

[The Saucepan Man]

it was said by one of the nicest, most intelligent, and funniest members there is

Indeed. But he's a terrier when it comes to Tolkien discussions. smilies/biggrin.gif

You are right of course, Esty. Underhillo it was. The next quote is yours. smilies/smile.gif

[Anything but Arwen]

As theres no reply, and I just found this great quote, I'll post...
Its a nasty habit of spiders that they tend to eat their husbands, create hundreds of offspring and have far too many legs for their own good.

Its not a siggy, its a quote from a post...

[Evisse the Blue]

This sounds so familiar but I just can't place it... it's from a recent topic from books forum. Could it be the Saucepan Man's?

[The Saucepan Man]

No. Far too witty for me, I am afraid. smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/wink.gif

'Twas Rumil in the Spiders (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=002688) thread in Novices and Newcomers.

[Anything but Arwen]

Aye, that it is Saucepan...your turn!!

[The Saucepan Man]

Thnak you, AbA. smilies/smile.gif

Next one:

So does that mean I can just stand here and look hot?

[Evisse the Blue]

It's Gorwingel's. smilies/biggrin.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Indeed it is, Evisse. smilies/biggrin.gif Your up. smilies/smile.gif

[Evisse the Blue]

Leave now and never come back. (3x)
Dr Gollum's prescribed mantra against personality disorders.

[Orominuialwen]

That would be secretfire, I believe.

[Evisse the Blue]

I think you're correct. You can go.

[Orominuialwen]

Okay, here goes: "My words fly up, my thoughts remain below; words without thoughts, never to heaven go." Let me know if you need a hint.

[Orominuialwen]

I think that a hint may be in order. This was from the signature of a female Downie with the name of a male character.

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Finwe? She always says her nick fools a lot of people into thinking she's a guy...

-Aylwen

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

FrodoBaggins?

-Menelien

[Finwe]

It definitely isn't me. *chuckles*


I have no idea... ElrondofRivendell?

(I'd feel so horrible if I found out that EoR was a guy, but I faintly remember he/she/it as a girl, so perhaps I could be right. smilies/biggrin.gif)

[Mad Baggins]

I don't mean to offend, but it's only a guess!

tom bombariffic?

P.S. So sorry, tom, if you're male!

[Orominuialwen]

Nope, you guys are all wrong. smilies/wink.gif Here's another hint: I know this person in real life. Also, you can find her sig in the quote graveyard. Good Luck!

[Mad Baggins]

I found it! It's Elfwine!

[Orominuialwen]

Yes, you're right, Mad Baggins. I met her at fencing club when she said "I'm from the Shire." A good fencer and an excellent actress. Your turn! smilies/smile.gif

[Mad Baggins]

Okay, here goes:
"Mr Maxwell." said the stranger, "I am Revasi Arveladze, Knight of the Realm of Georgia, and let me be the first to tell you that war is brewing in Europe."

[Mad Baggins]

Anyone care to venture a guess?

[The Perky Ent]

...um...can i buy a vowel?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Yes, could we have a hint please?

[Arvedui III]

Mad Baggins? Are you there?

[Amanaduial the archer]

That's been more than ten days and no reply. Do we go on?

[Carlas]

Mad Baggins has also been missed on another thread, and has not been seen for some time. I think it would be ok to move on.:)

[Amanaduial the archer]

I just realised that some of my sentences are very similiar to lotr, though unintentional.

[Arvedui III]

Herm...may we have a hint?

[Amanaduial the archer]

It can be found in one of the RPG forums :)

[Evisse the Blue]

it's obviously been more than 10 days so: Whose sig is this:
Soft and quick as shadows we must be

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I don't play on the quote threads but I should point out that the quote posted by Mad Baggins about War in Europe was a signature of little ol' me! :D

[Amanaduial the archer]

It would appear that it has been a little over ten days... Let's have a siggy to start...

Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.

[Firefoot]

Phantom, I think.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Nope, not Phantom.

[Firefoot]

Maybe someone was attempting to be original with the quote then... but phantom says it here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=371261&postcount=575), and a short way down the thread apparently changes it to his sig.

[The Only Real Estel]

Is that Fea?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Maybe someone was attempting to be original with the quote then... but phantom says it here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=371261&postcount=575), and a short way down the thread apparently changes it to his sig.
Ah! Well incidentally, Saucepan Man was the one I had in mind - but for research purposes, full marks and the next question goes to Firefoot :) Your turn, Siam- sorry, Firefoot ;)

[Firefoot]

:D
Encourage natural selection:
remove warning labels.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Lol, that was one of my favourites! Now who was it by....a hazarded guess at Feanor of the Perehil?

[Firefoot]

'Twas indeed Fea. Your go.

[Amanaduial the archer]

A quote this time rather than a signature:

This is the most hilarious thread ever.

[The Saucepan Man]

I seem to recall obloquy having posted something like that.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I thought it was burrahobbit (my memory might be wrong), and wasn't it about the Crystal Heart Fiasco (or CHF, as it is somewhat fondly now known as)?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Not obloquy, no. A hint to the poster's nature: that was his/her entire post, and for him/her, it was a remarkably long one at that. (Apologies for the clumsy wording of that sentence)

EDIT: sorry Fea, didn't see you there ;) Good lord, that thread has been initialised? The CHF. Sounds like a directorial position - "The CHF will see you know, Ms. Peredhil..." ...or did you just make that up on the spot?

I'm sorry, I'm waffling. Yes, it was burra - over to Fea.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I didn't make up "CHF", though I snickered when I figured out what it meant the first time I saw it. A few of us have used it via PMs.

Onward!

"I come from yonder...Have you seen Baggins? Baggins has left, he is coming. He is not far away. I wish to find him. If he passes will you tell me? I will come back with gold." - Khamul the Easterling

KHAMUL LIVES!!!!!!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Keeper of Dol Gol . . . erm . . . Guldur. :cool:

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

And so it is. I spotted "Khamul Lives" and snickered, thinking "yes... the Keeper of Dol G[o]ldur does indeed live... in the bedroom across the hall from me." :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Brush your teeth, you Georgian delinquent!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I'll replace it with something more up-to-date, relatively.

the phantom's ego . . . will look nearly the size of a new planet from space.

[Mithalwen]

Just to satisfy my curiosity - surely the Georgian delinquent could not refer to the erudite and urbane Mr Heren Istarion? Georgian though he be...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Now let me see... who was it that was discussing arrogance on the phantom's predictions thread? Gil-Galad, perhaps? I seem to remember his ego swelling to the size of a... was it a planet? I'm really just too lazy to go check.

Ah, on second check (my laziness hasn't claimed me entirely, just mostly), I see that t'was TOREstel. And that Gil-Galad's ego was not a moon, simply something visable from space.

[The Only Real Estel]

Rats, I saw that quote to late. Then again, are we allowed to guess our own quote/sig? That would seem to be slightly unfair... :confused:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Mith, the Georgian delinquent was indeed, our esteemed wizards, H-I. See why on this (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=4723&page=2#post332829) thread.

Take it, Fea.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Any drier and you would be a good martini, my dear Squatter.
I love this... Perhaps its too easy.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

That would be Bêthberry. (Note the proper "ê".)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

That would be Bêthberry. (Note the proper "ê".)
Oh good... I was worried you might (sp?) it wrong. :p

On to you, as you well know.

PS: Remember what Aman said about originality? It resided as my sig for a time also. So TOREstel gets props for homework as well. :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I guess 'h' is just one sexy letter.

[Lhunardawen]

That would be Durelin's, in the thread 'Fordim or Fordhim? The Horrors of S-p-e-l-l-i-n-g.'

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

*sigh* Your thread, daga. :p

[Lhunardawen]

Nilp: :p

Here's an easy one, if you know where to look: Does that mean Elves are the main ingredient in that traditional hotdish called "Tirion-upon-Tuna"?!

[Firefoot]

That would be none other than Estelyn.

[Lhunardawen]

Yours, Firefoot.

[Firefoot]

:) We are of defensive strategy, we are - toss a sock at us first. Hope this isn't too hard.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

H-I.

[Firefoot]

That's the one... er, five. ;)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I posit that there is no such thing as a person's 'real voice'.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'm going to guess Eomer of the Rohirrim, but I can't be positive because I haven't been awake long enough to double check.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Yours. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Fea?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Oh heavens... I completely forgot this thread was mine. I've been waiting for someone else to post!

Stop harassing us, Tra-La-La-Lally.

[the guy who be short]

Without checking, that sounds like something Mithalwen would say.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Hooray, a quote from an active thread - Mark12_30 from the 'Reputations thread.

Oh heavens... I completely forgot this thread was mine. Dude, don't admit it! ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Dude, don't admit it!
I mean... I was simply waiting around to see if anyone would miss me. ;)

Archer, it's all yours.

[Amanaduial the archer]

I mean... I was simply waiting around to see if anyone would miss me Better. You are learning, small grasshopper.


Pneumonicastic.

[CaptainofDespair]

Durelin, on Horrors of Spelling?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Absolutely - just...such a good word.

Your turn, Captain.

[CaptainofDespair]

Indeed. T'is a fine word. :D

I shall burn them, I say! BURN!

[Amanaduial the archer]

I would take a guess at Trogdor's biggest fan, Gil-Galad.

[Firefoot]

I finally found it, though it was a little bit older post than I thought. It was Elianna in the "What Do You Assign to Mordor?" thread, about Calculus.

[CaptainofDespair]

I finally found it, though it was a little bit older post than I thought. It was Elianna in the "What Do You Assign to Mordor?" thread, about Calculus.

Indeed. Your go, Firefoot. :D

[Firefoot]

How about this:I am not angsty, I am evil, by definition. Angst, or any form of inverted melancholia or that member of the four humours does not apply to my flawless, yet utterly horrible persona.

[wilwarin538]

That would be Kransha in the "A Little Somethin' Somethin' Just For You " thread.

[Firefoot]

That didn't take long... nice work!

[wilwarin538]

I have a feeling this might be to easy but, I might be wrong.

Should I be flattered, or worried?

Good luck!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Feanor of the Rohi . . . I mean Peredhil.

[wilwarin538]

Correct. :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I find it extremely depressing that Nilp remembers what I said better than I do. What thead is that from?

[wilwarin538]

Its actually from my thread, Barrow-Down Dreams.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Good lord, that thread has been initialised?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Amanaduial the archer, and about the CHF. :cool: :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You would notice I got it from this thread, too. What cheek, eh? :D

:rolleyes: Oh, brother.

Your thread. :)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

she has spent the last 12 months in a Junior Year Abroad program aboard my pirate vessel The Great Warg
Talk about cheek.

[The Saucepan Man]

You quote yourself, my dear Fea, from The Future of the Downs (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=408136&postcount=118).

Cheek indeed! :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I do indeed quote myself. Might you guess who that "anonymous correspondant" happened to be?

This thread belongs to you, oh King who all Saucepans hold dear.

[The Saucepan Man]

Might you guess who that "anonymous correspondant" happened to be?A ship named Great Warg? Surely, it could only be one of those esteemed Wargologists, Eomer of the Rohirrim and SamwiseGamgee.

Anyway, on with the game. One of my favourite quotes of recent times:

"No, what I meant was--"
"Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"

[the guy who be short]

Hmmm... that sounds like Nilp and Adam, or possibly Alice.

And surely the pirate was Eomer of the Rohirrim.

[The Saucepan Man]

Hmmm... that sounds like Nilp and Adam, or possibly Alice.Nope. It's more tricksy than that. :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

'Twas indeed a poke at Eomer. Check out my "occupation" to see the full jest.

And I can't help but think that a Monty Python quote should come from one of the following: Mithalwen, B88, or Gil-Galad.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I knew I'd seen that somewhere before. 'Twas Mister Underhill in the Canonicity thread.

[The Saucepan Man]

Correct, Eomer. :)

Take this thread, may it serve you well.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Thank you, good sir. And may I say it is somewhat amusing to find all this talk of me on a thread where I don't post! Well, I'd like to start playing.

Try this for size:

Indeed this thread is great! So great we cannot even comprehend its greatness. This is barely anything however, compared to the greatness, glory and power of the Warg!

Shameless promotion, I know. :p :D

[wilwarin538]

That would be High King Fingolfin in the best thread ever :p 'The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread' thread.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

'Twas indeed that chirpy student of Warg-lore. :D

Proceed if you will, Miss Wilwa. :)

[wilwarin538]

Thank you very much Mister 'Mer. :p

See? I really have very little originality...

Enjoy! ;)

[The Only Real Estel]

That was Durelin in the "Who's got the best signature?" thread; unless I am sadly mistaken.

[wilwarin538]

That is correct. Continue. :D

[The Only Real Estel]

Liked this one when I saw it:

"Gandalf is Grey and always will be, I'm afraid."

Have at it...

[mormegil]

That is the guy who would be short AKA TGWBS a comment on what would you assign to mordor thread. As it so happens it is one that I took exception to :p

[The Only Real Estel]

Correct. :)

Incidently, about a year and a half ago I had to be reminded of the 'American' way to spell 'gray'. And I live in America. :o What has LotR done to me!? :p

Your go, morm.

[mormegil]

My first attempt at this game so here it goes.

That's right! They can walk quietly wearing CLOGS. If that's not prowess I don't know what is.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I mean deuteronomy6_5 . . . no, wait. mark12_30!

In the Dwarven Boasting Contest.

[mormegil]

Correct Nilp. I hope that it wasn't too easy.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

A worthy addition to any party of this sort and as an added bonus, it's like getting two guests for the price of one.

[Firefoot]

It's about you (as a quote like that only could be ;) ), said by Sophia the Thunder Mistress in the "Downer Dinner Party" thread.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Yes, indeed. Your thread. :D

Oh, and as a reminder to all the dead, Alter-ego Day (not the trial run) is coming soon.

Thanks,
Adam.

[Firefoot]

Sorry for the delay... (Seems like I'm always saying that these days. :rolleyes: Alas for my lack of time! :( ) It looks like its supposed to be a wink, but it looks more like I just got poked in the eye and I am happy about it. That's just wierd.

[Lhunardawen]

I was fairly certain it would be The almighty Barrow-Wight's words, but I had to look it up again to be sure. From the thread 'What d'ya mean, it's only a smile?' in The Barrowdowns subforum. How could I forget such a brilliant post?

[Firefoot]

Indeed it was. :D

[Lhunardawen]

How about a skirt with black & green jester-like stockings? I think this one's too easy...

[Firefoot]

Encai, in the "I'm no Da Vinci" thread.

[Lhunardawen]

I did say it would be too easy, right?

Your go (again), Firefoot. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Firefoot?

[Firefoot]

Y'know, I picked out a quote for this yesterday morning... it seems that I didn't post it though. :rolleyes: ~Many Wights were maimed, disfigured, and mangled beyond recognition in the making of this signature. However, much to the relief of PETW, none were killed.~

[The Perky Ent]

Captain?


That's the best I could find :(

[Firefoot]

CaptainofDespair, yes. Go ahead, Perky.

[The Perky Ent]

:confused: I got it right?!? Nice. Ok...here we go!


"Hey Ho to the bottle I go to heal my heart and drown my woe, rain may fall and winds may blow, but theirs still be many miles to go!
~LOTR

Have at it!

[The Only Real Estel]

Er, I'm guessing that's someone's signature? :confused:

[Amanaduial the archer]

It is, most certainly, but I'm lost as to who's it was... Imladris, maybe? The '~LoTR' seems out of character for her, but was it an old signature of hers maybe?

[The Perky Ent]

Fraid not! It's by someone who hasn't passed 50 posts. lol having fun yet?

[Glirdan]

I'm just going to take a wild guess at this but could it possibly be WaynetheGoblin??

[The Perky Ent]

Nope. Ok, since y'all probably won't find it, this person last logged in on 1969

[Glirdan]

Ok, well that could be a number of people because there are a lot of people who haven't logged on since then with under 50 posts. But I'm going to try with Durin's Bane who had 14 posts and only one box of rep points. Am I getting closer???

[The Perky Ent]

Nope! Another hint: Seek the member that was sleeping. In the first page of the members list he dwells

I was going to do a whole copy off of the poem, but it was just too hard. Sorry Boromir!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Aengthrea Greenleaf Of Mirkwood.

Way to pick somebody nobody's ever heard of. :p

[The Perky Ent]

That's how I roll! And you are, of course, correct!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Please, please not another cryptic clue. Please.
Because I whole-heartedly agreed.

[Alcarillo]

That would be Aman, in the Which Downer Am I! thread in the Quiz Room.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Your go.

[Alcarillo]

No doubt it would become a thread of such might that not seven the Barrow-Wight could stop it.

Guess!

[Glirdan]

That would be Enca in the "Future of the Downs" thread.

[Alcarillo]

Aye, your turn.

[Glirdan]

Why thankee good sir.

It blinks! Wow, I didn't notice that until a second ago. Then, I starred at it for a minute... It's amazingly marvelous. Wonderful choice.

Have at it!!

[Kath]

Was that THE Ka in the best avvies thread?

[Glirdan]

Indeed it was. Your thread!! :D

[Kath]

Cheers!

Power to the purple people!

[Celuien]

Wilwa in the "How do you imagine other BDers" thread?

[Kath]

That's the one!

[Celuien]

Thanks!
Not for nothing am I known as the Merciless Eater of Souls.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Rimbaud, in his very own (sp?) thread.

[Celuien]

That it is! All yours, Eomer.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Try this one:

The evil chimpanzee disguised as a Rider on the far right adjusts his helmet and readies his throwing knife for Theoden's neck...

Hilarious; and not least because it conjured up images of a chimp infiltrating the extremist 'political' parties. :D

[Glirdan]

That would be Anguirel in none other than the Crazy Captions thread.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

It was indeed that particular purveyor of silliness.

[Glirdan]

Golly, Glirdan, she's absolutely right. I don't know who to put my trust in now.

Give it a shot!!

[The Only Real Estel]

That's Folwren in LOTR Survivor, I believe.

[Glirdan]

Indeed it was!!! Your thread! ;)

[The Only Real Estel]

DO HALF-ELVEN BALROGS HAVE WINGS??!!!!!


Have at it!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It is Kuruharan in Uhg- A terrible thought

[The Only Real Estel]

That is the one, I knew it was too 'specific' or whatever you want to call it to last long. :D

Your thread, Rune.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Gill-gallad has been regarded as 'a rather amusing, yet at times unstable, character

can any one guess ?

[Gil-Galad]

you would think i know that...


Gurthang?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

you would think i know that...

And yet you did not. (how odd) :D

[Morsul the Dark]

hookbill our good friend said this

it was in "the future of the downs" it was reffering to a fake newspaper in which gil-galad killed the phantom

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

yes

I felt a great joy reading it.

(not becouse of the murder, but becouse it was funny)

[Gil-Galad]

That newspaper was fake! you gotta be kidding me... i thought i finnally killed The Phantom.... well have fun with your turn Morsul

[Morsul the Dark]

this one may require some digging

The environment seems nice, so I will start posting around.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

A clue? I can't seem to find this one anywhere.

[Glirdan]

*Pokes Morsul in the head* Anybody home? You have one more day before someone takes over. But I really can't find this one and I'd like to know who it is.

[Firefoot]

I haven't wanted to post here because I finally got tired of looking and used a search engine... :rolleyes: I had the thread right (Newcomers, Introduce Yourself Here); it was some obscure member with 2 posts on the sixth page.

I don't think Morsul's been around for a while; I'd say anyone can go.

[Amanaduial the archer]

it was some obscure member with 2 posts on the sixth page.
Well, I wouldn't call that strictly fair...I did try searching Novices and Newcomers, but I was searching from the end backwards, and as you can imagine it got a little tiresome...

Firefoot, you technically found it, although we shall have to take your word for it that you are right - I'd say that the next go is therefore yours.

[Sleepy Ranger]

You must mean Anilorak, post #202 on page 6 of the Introduction Thread... :)

[Firefoot]

Yes, that was him/her. Aman, I had originally tried doing the same thing. It wasn't working, and I realized that I was going fast enough that I was likely to miss it anyway.

So here's what should be a relatively easy one to get us going again:If we killed all the weird people, the human race would cease to exist

[Glirdan]

Why that was dear old Perky Ent who said it in the "Do we realize how crazy we are?" thread.

[Firefoot]

Yup.

[Glirdan]

You might have to a little digging for this one.

I wonder if Gandalf could have received his power-up without dying. Given that the primary reason for it was Saruman's treachery and that it came direct from Eru, I don't see why not ...

Go for it!!

[mormegil]

I remember that quote and I want to test myself by not looking. I believe that it was Alatar that said that.

Edit:

I was wrong it was SpM here (http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=375313&postcount=7) in the thread "If they still had Gandalf"

[Glirdan]

Wow!!! Good one morm!!! You're thread!!!

[mormegil]

Thanks I remembered that thread rather well and enjoyed it so it came easily to me.

I hate to sound, well, ignorant but what ignorance are you talking about?

Have at it my mates.

[mormegil]

*bump*

Do you need any hints to get you on the path?

[the guy who be short]

That sounds like a very Feanor thing to say.

[mormegil]

That is not correct my short friend.

[Gil-Galad]

Alatar? it sounds awfuly familiar

[mormegil]

Nope it's under movies...that's a good hint to get you going.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Well, since no-one else is biting I might as well claim that quote as my own, Mormegil. ;)

I remember that was the first time I ever spoke to Holbytlass. A fine occasion, if I may say so. :)

[mormegil]

You are correct and it was either the first or one of the first major discussions I was in and rather enjoyed it, even though you and I didn't see eye to eye on the issue.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

It was a pretty good thread, if I may say so myself. :D

Try this one for size, one of my all-time favourite Barrow-Downs quotes:

"...and now your fangéd triumvirate can name them as suspects to deflect attention from yourselves!"

An easy one, perhaps; but worthy.

[Glirdan]

That looks like it was part of one of the Werewolf games. The only problem will be trying to find which one. If I'm right that is.....

[the guy who be short]

Without checking, which condemns me to being wrong, that sounds Fordimesque.

[Mithalwen]

There are downers who are diligent enough to use accents and alas I am not one of them!!! But Son of Numenor has one on his "u" ..and he said this in Werewolf 2, Post 64

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Mithalwen is correct. Your turn, m'lady. :)

[Mithalwen]

Thank you kind sir..


They listen to Bach and do cross-stitch.

Try this.... :D

[Mithalwen]

Anyway they aren't into that crude physical stuff. Uruk-Hai are civilised! They listen to Bach and do cross-stitch.

10 days on, I wonder if a longer quote will tempt anyone to try?

[Boromir88]

I know I've seen that but don't hold names or memory too well. :p

I'll say Squatter of Amon Ruhd.

[Gil-Galad]

hmmm maybe Gurthang?

[Mithalwen]

Neither .... he doesn't post so much alas but what he does is always good value (not implying that that is not true of those you have mentioned).

[mormegil]

Drigel?

[Boromir88]

Ahh, I was thinking drigel, but just in case I'll say...

Son of Numenor?

[Mithalwen]

Nope squared

[Boromir88]

Umm...Formendacil

[Sleepy Ranger]

I know this is going to be totally wrong but if I recall correctly I read a topic a few years ago where someone made a note of civillized uruk-hai (or maybe orcs), I believe the username was something Silverleaf or Leafsilver. I don't think that member is active anymore.

[mormegil]

We can safely assume, by the awful spelling of civilised, that he is not American.

I'm not sure if he is or not but I'll say

Arry.

if not do you have little hint for me? ;)

[Gil-Galad]

hmmm... i think its one of our fair barrow-Damsels...


Eowyn Skywalker perhaps?

or maybe Maegedgallial(sp of course)

[Mithalwen]

I said he and I meant he and it is you Americans who have awful spelling. But he is most definitely not American. He is not any combination of leaf and silver and has been active much more recently. Months not years. Though this post is old.

[mormegil]

Got it!

Osse!

Post is found here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=148674&postcount=33)

[Mithalwen]

Yes, the owner of perhaps the cleverest screen-name of them all.... :D

[mormegil]

This is probably too easy but oh well

Faramir said that he would not pick up the Ring of he saw it lying in the road. Well, that's just great. He would just leave it for the next Orc or Ringwraith that happened to wander along. He is clearly not a strategic thinker.

Fordim?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Nah, it ain't Fordim. The force tells me that its Saucey

[mormegil]

Wow it took 3 minutes...Sleepy your turn.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Wow it took 3 minutes...Sleepy your turn.

I've done better.

Next-
just the both of us are playing

[mormegil]

Cheeky eh?

Sleepy Ranger said this here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=114280&postcount=99) I thought it was from another game but I was wrong at first.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Indeed Mormy. It be your turn now. ^_^

[mormegil]

When Feanor drew his sword on Fingolfin, that was actually a very good thing.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

HA, saw that one yesterday, It is the phantom

[mormegil]

Man, I'm giving the real difficult ones aren't I?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Pure luck mormegil, normaly I can't remember who wrote it.

Fortuanetly I this one stuck in my mind for a bit longer than usual.

ok here is a new one:

You see this is exactly what I was talking about. To this alliance, you are not special unless your ears are pointy

[Mithalwen]

Cheeky - that is mormegil, in the LOTR Survivor..

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

:D

Your of course right Mithalwen.

[Mithalwen]

Thanks try this..


Whenever I'm in a stuck I just look at the necklace, and then decide what would elrond do.

[mormegil]

If I remember correctly Boromir had a sig like that and therefore I think it is him.

Boromir88

[Boromir88]

Actually, mormegil, I had the idea of the "What would Elrond do?" but never had a sig on it. Hmm...I know I've seen this one, but I forget which WWED I inspired...

I'm thinking Saucepan Man right now.

[Mithalwen]

You are going to have to fight over it boys. It was Boromir but not in a sig. It was in the thread "Are you a bttr person?" :rolleyes:


Or maybe not fight just search your souls and think "What would Elrond do?"...
