View Full Version : Barrow-Downers' quotes/signatures

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but in this game, you must dig up things that 'Downers posted some time ago (not yesterday), and the jolly company endeavours to guess. Bits of signatures are acceptable, but not LotR quotes in signatures, as many people can have the same. http://www.smilies.nl/dieren/grommit.gif
Okey dokey, quote #1, coming from a signature.
...Or did I just get queened?
Of Course, if the answer is something you posted, you may not answer.
Sorry if this is against the rules! http://www.smilies.nl/dieren/grommit.gif

It was from about two months ago.... her name contains a word for a certain royal person and the name of a middle of forest....

Queen Clearing?
ElentariGreenleaf
01-16-2003, 03:24 PM
Queen is close! Maybe not wuite so important. By name, I meant like it's given name, not just type of forest.
LePetitChoux
01-16-2003, 03:47 PM
morgul queen?
dragoneyes
01-16-2003, 03:51 PM
Someone should really call themselves queen clearing.
Arwen Imladris?
actually, that doesn't make sense... oh well. smilies/tongue.gif

No. The first word isn't a name. They become a queen. The second part is wrong too. It's quite a large forest.

It is wrong to say,'I think'. One ought to say, 'I am thought'.
Ok, early mornings really isn't a time when I should do these kind of things.. smilies/rolleyes.gif
By the way.. that quote isn't in full.. there is yet another line in this person's sig, but.. Yeah. smilies/biggrin.gif
Beren87
03-04-2003, 03:52 PM
Just found it! It was (or is) Rimbaud's.

I don't know if this is too hard or not, but, here it is:
When in doubt, shoot the wizard.

I think a hint may be in due order.
Eressië Ailin
03-23-2003, 09:56 PM
Really, I don't know much about this person, but the real sig is:
When in doubt,shoot the wizard.
It may or may not help, but if you can't get you can go ahead.
Beren87
03-23-2003, 10:07 PM
Just tell us, is the person new to the site? Or are they a veteran poster?
Eressië Ailin
03-23-2003, 10:34 PM
They've been on the Downs for a while. Longer than I have (not that that's saying much). But I haven't seen them post recently.
GaladrieloftheOlden
03-26-2003, 07:03 PM
Could you tell us...maybe....which forum part they frequented or something?
Beren87
03-26-2003, 07:05 PM
Or maybe I hint about their name?

Eressië Ailin
03-27-2003, 07:01 PM
The first letter of this person's nick is W. There are three Ws in this person's nick. Does that help?

03-31-2003, 04:21 PM
could we have a clue? I for one have no idea.
Carlas
03-31-2003, 04:24 PM
Well, the first letter of their name is either 'y' or 'z'! I told you two because there isn't too many people who have names that start with those letters!

04-13-2003, 07:17 PM
On a whim...Yavanna?
Carlas
04-15-2003, 07:47 PM
No sorry, perhaps another clue...there are only three letters in this person's nick! smilies/biggrin.gif I hope that doesn't make it too easy!

Another guess, wasn't there someone named Zoe here a while back?

It's a she, and she's still around [but not sporting this siggy].

ahh! i'm stumped! smilies/frown.gif it sounds so much like sam or something.. but a little voice in my head keeps saying "no! no! no! that's not sam who said it!" oh well, my only guess is sam....at least someone who spends times in gardens.... smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/frown.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

Sorry that this has nothing to do with an answer on my part but: If people were to jump into the game in the near future, & if it ever became their turn to give a quote; how could that person be sure that it wasn't given already (since there's 4 pages here)? They can't really be expected to look through the whole thing can they? It may be unlikely, but I was just wondering, in case I jump in in half a month or so... smilies/biggrin.gif

Hmmm, you're right, some of these quotes may repeat themselves, that can't be helped. On the other hand, we've got 8000+ barrowdowners so sigs for this topic are not likely to run out in the near future.
I have another problem though: when can we draw the line and ask for another sig if the previous one cannot be guessed?

I'm sorry it took so long, everyone! But school's been taking up almost all of my time now... By rights I shouldn't even be here...
Well, I had a great quote in mind, but I can't remember it anymore, so I'll take another siggie:
Beware of the wights if your path leads that way
Anger lurks here where is no trace of day
Roaming souls of the vagabond world
Raging in Darkness under skies ever cold
Over the valley and under the hill
Wraiths walk abroad, host of fear and thrill
Deadly their eyes, greenish burning within
Oath to keep, cracking bones and no skin
Woven are spells of the powerful word
Never to fail, be unbroken their sword…
So, beware of the wights on the Barrow-Downs way!
Hope it works!
Bye bye!
