25-45: Congrats, you´re Estelyn Telcontar! Strict, kind and and always ready to advise, you´re the power behind movies, books and Newbies! We bow to you! (and love your Avatar smilies/wink.gif)
50-70: Wow! You are The Barrow-Wight! Founder, owner and creator of this amazing site. Need I say more?
75-95: Hey, you´re Beren87! Great! No, don´t tell me who said that smilies/wink.gif . You know all the books by heart, you can probably solve every QuizRoom and QQ question, and you frustrate others less gifted. Still no- one can be mad at you!

I, of course, am Beren87, and that makes perfect sense as I live in the Quiz/QQ Rooms.

Child of the 7th Age
03-10-2003, 02:05 PM
Manardaril,
Whoops! This is Child. I'm not Pio, but I am her sidekick, and I did get a different name!
This is really strange. I'm the other mod in the Shire. Only I'm usually roaming around the games or helping Pio behind the scenes rather than posting in the Inn itself.
To make a long story short, I took the test and qualified as Estelyn! I must be in the wrong job!
Runs over to Books and drops off her job application.......
Cami Goodchild aka Child
Duuude, I don't resemble anyone. I answered N/A to all the questions. smilies/frown.gif Go figure. Perhaps we need a more extensive quiz? And look, I have time on my hands this week... Hmm...
ArwenBaggins
03-10-2003, 04:12 PM

Yeah, I think the quiz needs to be just a little more indepth, but who am I to judge?
RPs= 0 points!?!?!?!?!?
I live in the RP section!

Lush: I tried to make it bigger, but I was seriously running out of ideas... smilies/frown.gif But, feel free to do a new one! smilies/smile.gif
Did anyone else notice Estely seems to be the BD proto? I mean the most people got her, hands down. Interesting...

Amanaduial the archer
03-11-2003, 02:10 PM
Depending on what I answer for one of the questions, I get Pio or Estelyn. Hmmm. C'est bizarre.
Maybe there shouldnt be such a big difference on question 2 c and d- hardly and sometimes are pretty similar.
Still, a very cool quiz. Oooh, we could do one so it includes all the mods and admins....Bethberry, Susan, Mithadan...
Ithaeliel
03-11-2003, 05:06 PM
Wow, what a surprise (not)! I'm totally Pio! I spend about 80% of my time in Rohan and the other 20% in here or other forums.
Know what I think? There should be a quiz for different CATEGORIES of Barrow-downers: The Questioner, The Smarty-Pants, the RP addict (me), the Funny Man, and anything else you can think of.

They didn't all really apply to me

Ithaeliel
03-11-2003, 09:08 PM
Well, she (Susan) reviews the gaming proposals for Rohan along with Gandalf_theGrey, so you could call her a moderator in a sense.

I think we should all submit a question (then with who each answer would be relevant to). If anyone wants to do this, PM your questions to me and I'll get them into quiz form!

If we have to choose an answer for each, then I have 15 points, and I am:
0-20 points: You´re Piosenniel! Good for you! You love RPGing, and are hardly seen in different forums. Always ready to help those in the Shire, and the great owner of the beloved GreenDragon. Go you!
But, if not, then I have negative, and am, therefore, Legolas. lol
Beren87: If I happen to think of a good question, I'll send it to you.

? I'm estelyn or B-W (whoa)(depending what I answer for 4 I can't decide) but I'm becoming addicted to RPG's so maybe I should be Pio. As you might be able to tell by now I really don't know.

04-25-2003, 08:31 AM
This is cool. I'm Pio, mind if I give it a go? Just a little Wich-RPGer-are-you-quize.
A new RPG is starting in Rohan and everyone can join. You:
a) JOIN! It's always good to gain experience. 0 points
b) I kinda am hung up right now. Ill wait for the next one when I am a little less busy.4 points
c) Dunno, maybe if it has a good storyline. 5 points
d) Maybe later. One at a time. 5 points
Someone says that he went to visit Belgium yesterday and could not post. You:
a) Make a joke about Belgian people, quoted from Austin Powers and add a smiley to it. And then you appolagize for being off-topic again and welcome the person back.2 points
b) Welcome the person back and add a little joke.4 point
c) Say it's okay he did not post and welcome him back.6 points
d)Welcome him back and say you missed him.5 points
No one has posted for a while and you want to get the attention of the posters back. You:
a) Ask on the tread where everybody went and post on the RPG tread to remind people there is still one.6 points
b)Make a post completly in capital bold letters stating: WHERE THE H*LL DID EVERYBODY GO????????????5 point
c)PM the owner of the RPG.5points
d)PM all the RPGers.2 points
The owner of the RPG mysteriously vanished. You:
a) PM him and afterwards the Mod to ask where he went.5 points
b) Don't notice since you are all writing without the need of guidance.2 points
c) Offer to take over the RPG.2 point
d) Don't care. He was not posting for a while anyway. 7 point
5-10 points>You are Helkahothion:RPGing is what you want and even more: Proceeding to the next level. You tend to flood the Discussion form with a lot of off topic posts and are the main reason for Piosenniel's irritation.
10-15> Your are Amanaduial:You don't mind movin on, you just love RPGing and do it well. Owning one is not your problem and you do not intend to insult even a tree.
15-20>You are Ransom: Not much seen in the Shire and Gondor, but you are one hell of a player!
20-25>You are Mithadan: BW's right hand and one of the first to enter the RPG section. Your well know everywhere and will always be remembered.
I'm not quite shure the point thing matched. I believe so, but Maths has never been my best subject. Anyway as always, the names are not ment to be an insult.( How could it be when I'm in it eh?)

For the original one I got Estelyn ( smilies/biggrin.gif), for Helka's I got a 20, so I guess that makes me both Ransom and Mithadan? Hmmm...
And for Mandariel's:
Oh noble Inn owner...Bethberry!! Go you! Youre a tad stricter than your Shire colleges, but you really keep things going in Rohan. Respect!
Hmmm... And all this time I thought I resembled myself...

Wow, Youre the Shire Double Act...Pio and Cami!! Youre two of the coolest mod haunting the net, always funny and helpfull. Youre writing is beautiful, and you just ROCK!

I most resemble me. What the hell? Firstly, these people aren't celebrities, they post on a message board. I doubt you know any of them enough to know what they are like all around, and what does it matter what mod or fake mod you are like? Also, when you do these things you are suposed to use stilted stereotypes, and make sure that a person knows it all when you are saying that they do.
Lyra Greenleaf
08-14-2003, 12:40 PM

I am NOT a fake mod. I have never claimed to be any kind of mod and I'm sure that the other non-mods mentioned haven't either.
Beren87
08-14-2003, 03:11 PM
Don't worry, it was referring to me, basically. smilies/wink.gif
It doesn't matter burra, it's called fun, not to mention amusing. If you don't like finding out you're...you, I don't know what to tell you.
Now, let's get back on topic.
So all of the options are Esty, Myself, Cami and Pio, and Lyra?
And since I forgot to, thank you Manardariel for the Quiz!

Burra- I´d just like to put in that I wasn´t meaning to "offend" anyone with that quiz. As Beren said, it was meant to be fun. And one more thing: They may not be "celebrities" but they are important enough for me to have a quiz anout them. Call me wierd, that´s how it is.

And, burra, wow! A five line paragraph! You must feel very strongly on this matter. smilies/tongue.gif Oh well, I don't think the results of such a tongue-in-cheek 'quiz' is going to prompt anyone to put "I am burra's evil twin" in their sig.

Um *cough* I think you want to change that to "lose". Because, though I wouldn't want to be held responsible for letting Beren loose upon the poor unsuspecting world at large, either, it's just not possible to keep him confined to his padded cell. (You are seeing quiz threads, and getting veeerrry sleepy...)

Elucidating is due order.
Lyra Greenleaf, I wasn't calling you a fake mod, I just didn't want to come up with a separate category for you because I have no idea who you are.
Beren87, fun may be fun, but no downer is more important than any other. Each most resembles himself, and that's good enough.
Manardariel, I'm not offended. As I said to Beren87, though, the options you chose are not any more important than any of the other members. They all have their own particular thing to add. Your additions may be in the form of RPGs, the additions of another may be more literary in scope.
GaladrieloftheOlden, that is my point. I'm pretty sure you don't know everything, and I'm pretty sure Beren87 doesn't either. I would wager that neither of you have even a rough aproximation of everything, as I've never met anyone that does, even in a field as limited as The Lord of the Rings.
Diamond8, the problem is more that anybody was called "the king." The king is dead. Half a month shy of 30 years, now.

I will throw my 2 cents in only because this idea has been brought to my attention time and again as of late here at the Downs...
In the begining, when Burrahobbit, myself, and a few dozen other souls began congregating here, the sole focus was Tolkien discussion.
Now, as this thread [and many others] proves, the Downs itself, especially it's higher profile members are often the topic.
This strange, but I suppose predictable eveent, in a way has made of the downs a microcosm, or more aptly, a small little realm, and in this realm, we do have a King.
So while I may in some ways, lament the pre-occupation with the Downs itself [and I have been guilty of it, though rather fascinated at times] I must confess that just as in the Legendarium there is a hierarchy, so to we have one here.
Though I agree in the end, it is only the quality of the ideas/post that counts.
Each most resembles himself, and that's good enough.
Well said.

Tolkien is about more than just literature. No literature can be only about the words on a page for long, if it is to be truly loved. A world will grow up around it. People congregate here because the crave not only discussion on such a wonderful topic, but also because they're human, and therefore crave social interaction. They come to find people like themselves, people that they can relate to. The Barrow-Downs has become more than just a lofty place for discussion. We've had two marriages of members at this point, not to mention many a relationship and further drama. You can't expect it to stay as simply discussion for long.
Though I agree in the end, it is only the quality of the ideas/post that counts
Excellent point, and those that were lofted by Manardariel are ones she respects for their abilities. Positevely nothing wrong with that.
So what I say to all is quite simply, stop over-analysing, and get back on topic. smilies/smile.gif

Well, on the newer one on Quizilla, I got this:
Wow, You're the Shire Double Act...Pio and Cami!! You're two of the coolest mods haunting the net, always funny and helpful. Your writing is beautiful, and you just ROCK!
Wow... so I'm two people at once... weird... smilies/eek.gif Haha, no I'm honored. Really.

I took the Quizilla test earlier today and got Cami and Pio, but then I just took it again a few minutes ago and got Esty. I suppose it depends on my mood. Who knows? I suppose the BDer I'm most like is...me!
I hope. smilies/tongue.gif

Am I completely blind? I've been looking for this Quizilla quiz for three days now and haven't been able to find it on the Quizilla site. Do any of you have the link? And are there any other Barrow-Downs Quizilla quizzes besides that one and the Barrow Downs Account one?

Here, Vanima: Which Barrowdowner are you most like? (http://quizilla.com/users/FemaleFellowship/quizzes/Which%20Barrrowdowner%20are%20you%20most%20like%3F ). It's on the second page of this thread, at about the middle, in one of Manardariel's posts. Enjoy! smilies/smile.gif

It turns out I am Beren87. Hm... I do spend time in the quiz forums, but not that much. And I am better at posting annoying quotes than answering. *hehe*
And when changing some answers (on quesions I wasn´t sure of) I was either Lyra Greenleaf or GaladrieloftheOlden.
Maybe not very me, but I am honoured! *smiles*
To be honest, I have no idea of what type I am. A mixture of everything perhaps?
Funny quiz though! As they always are...

People got me! People got me! How did you manage that? I got me the first time, then when I was trying to get the HTML code I kept getting Pio and Cami... strange that.

I'm late to this, but Diamond, you and I must have rubbed off on each other back in REB1 days.
Yes, indeedy, I got ME, Bethberry. When I answered straight. Ish.
But about being stricter than The Shire, could that have something to do with being closer to Mordor? smilies/wink.gif
