Who’s got the best Title? (Do I hear some Nominees?)

[Kath]

Well done guys, I love all of them! Form especially suits his though :D

[Oddwen]

My eight favorite personal titles -




The Barrow-Wight's "Night in Wight Satin". He changed this about the time I was listening to that song nonstop.
Hookbill the Goomba's "Alive without breath". It's so obviously Tolkien, you might not think of that as LotR yet when you see it, it's so obviously LotR and Barrow-downish as well.
Hilde Bracegirdle's "Relic of Wandering Days". It bespeaks of depth and history, very like LotR I think.
A tie between Dancing Spawn's "Mischevious Candle" Kalimac's "Candle of the Marshes", and Symestreem's "Face in the Water", because "The Dead Marshes" is one of the awesomest chapters in LotR.
Lalwendë's "A Mere Boggart". It's cool.
Almost forgot Kitanna's "Child of the West". Reminds me of Thorin's deathbed speech, when he called Bilbo "Child of the kindly West".

[Diamond18]

A tie between Dancing Spawn's "Mischevious Candle" and Symestreem's "Face in the Water", because "The Dead Marshes" is one of the awesomest chapters in LotR.

You might also appreciate Kalimac's "Candle of the Marshes." One of my favorites. Alas, it's been far too long since Kalimac graced this board.

I love all the new PTs, but my favorite of the bunch has to be Meela's. No one else could have that PT. ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

"Bringer of the Red Dawn" will always be my favourit PT. . . . I am so jealuse !

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

*blushes*

If our beloved Barrow-Wight would see the deletion of my personal title as a possibility, I'd have nothing against you taking it in my stead some day. I've developed somewhat of a distaste for labelling myself. 'Untitled' seems the best title I can think of anymore.

[The Only Real Estel]

Fea if you ever take down your PT then I will be very put out. -_-

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Why?

[The Only Real Estel]

Because it is one of my all-time faves.

Not that I have anything against Rune :D, but it just wouldn't be the same if it belonged to someone else. :/

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

heheh although I would love for it to be my PT, I think it is kind of weird to take over another persons PT. . .

[Brinniel]

To help those to choose a favorite title, I've created a list of all members with PTs. This way, everyone can see different members' titles, even those who have long since disappeared. So many of these titles are creative and wonderful and it's nice to be able to see them all. :)

Let me know if your name/title is missing or incorrect. I'll continue to add as more members gain PTs. :)

[Thinlómien]

How long has alatar had his title? I noticed it only a while ago. Anyway, I like it. oubting dwimmerlaik; describes him pretty well... ;) :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I must say I am a fan of LePetitChoux's title...

Vegetable of Doom

Good stuff I say!

[ninja91]

Shady she-penguin. Hm. Makes me think of Eminem... :D
No offense to you, Thinlomien!!! :)

[Volo]

Shady she-penguin. Hm. Makes me think of Eminem...
No offense to you, Thinlomien!!!

:D Very strange, I was thinking here and I thought that it has no relation at all with Eminem! Or does the word "shady" nowadays refer to a rapper?

No offense to you, ninja, just funny :)

[Kath]

Haha! Nice coincidence ninja, as I read through this list this morning I thought the same thing. :D

I can't see Lommy as a rapper though.

[Anguirel]

Hee hee...watch this space...

[piosenniel]

Very nice, alatar! ;)

~*~ Pio

[The Only Real Estel]

While looking over Brin's nice list there I'm reminded of how much I like Mister Underhill's "Dread Horseman."

[alatar]

Very nice, alatar! ;)

~*~ Pio
Thanks. Couldn't think of anything that worked well with quantum or skeptic.

[Folwren]

How does one get around to choosing a personal title? I can't decide on one!

-- Folwren

[Glirdan]

It's long, tedious and stressful. But it's fun!! :D

[Valier]

Yay Lommy!!!! I was wondering if you would use something Penguinesque....and You did not disappoint!! :D

[Mithalwen]

How does one get around to choosing a personal title? I can't decide on one!

-- Folwren

Well in Noldorian terms choosing a PT is Essecilme and if you can not decide I would sugest waiting since it is unchangeable. You will surely know the right one when it occurs (lámatyáve) - yep I have been reading Morgoth's ring again... ;) .


For myself, when I daydreamed of what I would choose, I knew I wanted a quotation since I was a literature student and my screen name does not lend itself to some of the superb puns that some people have and I did not have the wit to think of someof the ones that reference Tolkien like "Drummer in the Deep" or "Alive without breath" which is just so perfect for a wight!!! I did want a supernatural element too so I ended up with short list of 3 one of which was taken (and it is much more appropriate for it's holder). So it was either Pilgrim Soul or Bewildering Ghost. The latter more accurate, the former more aspirational. I could almost translate Pilgrim soul into Elvish but didn't incase it wasn't an accurate translation. Pretentious and ungrammatical is a bad combination..... I try to limit myself to one or the other at any given time..... ;)

So basically, try to find something that means something to you, or amuses you and which you live with for the rest of your death (in a manner of speaking).

[Folwren]

Thanks for your help, Mith.

Would it be illegal for me to ask here what people thought of a few titles I was considering?

-- Folwren

[Valier]

I would love to hear what you have so far Folwren! :D

[Glirdan]

Well, it's not suggested to that here cuz this is the aprreciation of the alreday chosen one's, but I don't care. :p It really should be in the Your personal title! therad, but who am I to tell you what to do. :p

[Folwren]

Ah. I should go find that said Personal Title thread and do it there. I just didn't know where I could get some help. I'm occasionally bad at making decisions like this.

Thanks, Glirdan.

-- Folwren

[Gil-Galad]

Ah. I should go find that said Personal Title thread and do it there. I just didn't know where I could get some help. I'm occasionally bad at making decisions like this.

Thanks, Glirdan.

-- Folwren

since i take it your a fan of Joan of Arc, how about Angelic Page? or Page of Prophecy

now i wish i picked those...

[Folwren]

Oh, oh, oh! I would ask everyone to please not suggest any more titles for me - please! But, Gil, I have to thank you for inspiring something beautiful. I've thought of something that I shall turn over in my head as carefully as the first two I had already thought of.

-- Folwren

[Gil-Galad]

-- Folwren

uh...your welcome or i'm sorry?

[Brinniel]

I've updated the list and added about a dozen members/PTs I missed. Eighty-one pages of members....I guess I was bound to miss some. :rolleyes:

Anyways, my ultimate favorite PTs are Aylwen's "Melody of Misery," Dwarin's "Khazad-Doomed," Guinevere's "Banshee of Camelot," Encaitare's "Bittersweet Symphony," Orofaniel's "Mighty Mouse of Mordor," and Nerindel's "Spirited Weaver of Fates."

Just looking at the list, I see so many great titles- it was hard to choose only a few....

[Thinlómien]

Shady is not meant to be anything rapper-like, as you guessed... (though, what's the problem with Thin-Lo being a rapper; that's not so very far from it...) :rolleyes: It just sounds a bit undeadish and refers to me in werewolf games... :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hooky...Now you can just put "Formendacil" as the slogan, and everyone will know what you're talking about. And at least Formy will think it's hilarious.

I've just changed it for the week I'm doing at the moment. It now reads "Dead Good".

Wish I'd chose that as a Personal Title.

[Mithalwen]

Shady is not meant to be anything rapper-like, as you guessed...
... :D

I find it quite funny since I used to consistently mis-spell your name thinking of lomion...twilight ..which is shady.... so glad I was forgiven and allowed to call you Lommy ;)

[Kath]

I was going to say Lommy, that's all very well, but your name is not Thin-Lo! Lommy it has been since first I forgot how to use the accent thingy and Lommy it shall be forever!

[Brinniel]

Congrats to Alcarillo, JennyHallu, and Anguirel on their lovely new PTs. :D

[Anguirel]

Grazie...occurred to me while ranting about the Byronic aspects of Feanor and co...

I was considering "Feanorian Falchion" but eventually dismissed it as slightly too obvious...

[JennyHallu]

Why thank you! I'm quite excited about it. Looks so pretty and title-y and important there under my name.

[Gil-Galad]

i wonder if Jenny is the "youngest" downer to get a PT...


youngest i mean since you joined, which hasn't even been a year.

[Mithalwen]

Grazie...occurred to me while ranting about the Byronic aspects of Feanor and co...

I was considering "Feanorian Falchion" but eventually dismissed it as slightly too obvious...


It does seem to suit you though, Ang, I would never describe you as "mad, bad and dangerous to know"

[mormegil]

i wonder if Jenny is the "youngest" downer to get a PT...


youngest i mean since you joined, which hasn't even been a year.

There are others of a shorter time than one year.

[Meneltarmacil]

I'm still kind of wondering what, exactly, is the sort of thing that would prompt the giving out of a personal title. Granted, those who have received them deserve the honor, I'm just wondering...

[Mithalwen]

There are others of a shorter time than one year.


Mr Modest here does not mention that he joined at the end of April last year and had his title by the second of Sept ..if I am correct in my reckoning .... makes me look like a slacker ;) ... but of course it was some time before I dared post.. :p

[Folwren]

Oh, guys, I can't decide on mine at all. *sigh*

By the way, I don't understand yours at all, Anguirel, and was going to ask you sometime or other. . . is there something behind it?

-- Folwren

[mormegil]

Let me compliment Ang on his choice...a fine selection and very fitting.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

I'm still kind of wondering what, exactly, is the sort of thing that would prompt the giving out of a personal title.

The first prerequisite is a minimum of 500 posts. From the Forum FAQ thread (top of the N&N forum main page):
When you become a Ghost Prince, you will be eligible for a personally selected title.
Next requirement is that those posts make a significant positive contribution to the forum: The best way to get an invitation to select a personal title is to distinguish yourself by making meaningful contributions to the forum. The reputation level of a member is a factor that can recommend her/him for a personal title, and of course the recommendations of the various forum moderators. One more thing you may have noticed: personal titles are usually given in bunches, not singly.

[Anguirel]

Folwren, Byronic comes from the Great Romantic Poet George Gordon, Lord Byron. It's basically come to mean "devil-may-care debonair defiance" kind of thing. "Brand" means a sword, so it's appropriate enough for me...

Mith, no? I must strive harder!

[Mithalwen]

Oh but Ang I have this premonition that when I am gaga and institutionalised and you have achieved the greatness you are surely destined for I shall be bragging to anyone that will listen that I knew you ... :cool:

and they will think daft old bat and up my medication.... ;)

[Lhunardawen]

i wonder if Jenny is the "youngest" downer to get a PT...


youngest i mean since you joined, which hasn't even been a year.
Much-missed Finwe comes to mind...but I can't remember how long she had been a member before she was offered one.

[Firefoot]

Folwren, I just noticed yours and like it very much. :) Congrats!

[Folwren]

Thanks mightily, Firefoot. :)

-- Folwren

[Durelin]

For some reason I never noticed Formendacil's. I love it! Very cheeky. :D

Unless you're serious. :rolleyes: :p

[Formendacil]

For some reason I never noticed Formendacil's. I love it! Very cheeky. :D

Unless you're serious. :rolleyes: :p

Dead serious.

[Kath]

Oh you did choose messenger! Very nice Folwren. :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

For a second I thought you were talking about msn messenger. . .

Yeah, I found it a weird place to comment on peoples choise of IM programs.

[Folwren]

Oh you did choose messenger! Very nice Folwren. :)

Yes, I did. Thank you. I was torn between Prisoner of Hope or Messenger of Hope, so I went up to ask Mom.

"Mom. . .are we prisoners of hope?"

She gave me a rather quizicle look. "I don't know. Maybe."

Well, thought I, I guess that would work. A moment later: "Mom. . .Are we messengers of hope?"

"I hope so!" was her very immediate answer.

And so it came about, though I still deliberated for a few days after that. :)

-- Folwren

[Kath]

Ah well there you have it, parents can have their uses!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I wonder if anyone will get the Title 'Serious Cat' ...
:smokin:

[Thinlómien]

I wonder if anyone will get the Title 'Serious Cat' ...
:smokin:Wait 'til The Might has a PT and even that might happen... :D

[Volo]

Which reminds me to write down my 25th PT candidate... :o

[The Might]

I like Formendacil's Dead Serious...
I have a question...how do you get a title? :confused:
I looked it up in some FAQs, but couldn't find anything.

[Thinlómien]

I have a question...how do you get a title? :confused:
I looked it up in some FAQs, but couldn't find anything.When you have 500 posts the BW can decide you deserve one and when or if he sees fit, he sends you a PM asking would you like to have one.

edit: Usually there's always a bunch of people who get PTs the same time, and the PT offers are sent something like once or twice a year, if I'm correct.

[The Might]

I see, thanks for the reply. :)

[Gil-Galad]

I like Formendacil's Dead Serious...
I have a question...how do you get a title? :confused:
I looked it up in some FAQs, but couldn't find anything.


it really depends on the person, it took me 3 years to get mine, it may take you the same or even less, so just have patience for now

[Thinlómien]

Yay, I see the quickest of the newest bunch of brand new PTers already has his own:
Guard of the Citadel
I think it's a very nice one. Congrats, The Might! :)

I'm looking forward to seeing what the other newly "knighted" will be coming up with... ;)

[Mithalwen]

Splendid - I was thinking we hadn't had any new ones for ages... :D Congratulatiuons .. I remember how delighted I was to get mine :D

[Naria]

Heh, well it seems I have done something right for the past couple of years:Merisu:

I just read my PM from the almighty BW. I wasn't at all expecting to ever have a personal title so I'm kind of at a loss for ideas. If anyone would like to make some suggestions, I'm all ears:D

[Kath]

Ah I was wondering who the latest batch consisted of. Nice to see some new ones. :)

[Mithalwen]

Heh, well it seems I have done something right for the past couple of years:Merisu:

I just read my PM from the almighty BW. I wasn't at all expecting to ever have a personal title so I'm kind of at a loss for ideas. If anyone would like to make some suggestions, I'm all ears:D

Something fiery becasue of your screenname .... Flammifer of Westernesse?

[The Might]

Ah thanks!
I actually wasn't really looking for something really special, just something like a title that you could actually have in M-e.
And since I didn't want to make anything important I decided for the guards as I've always liked the Gondorians.

[Mithalwen]

But it is a strong image and suits the screen name :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I like your PT Might!

I have spend alot of time thinking about what mine should be, should I ever get one, but now I cannot remember any of my ideas.

It made a great day even better, it is my mothers birthday, the whole nation has been celebrating winning the European Championship and then I come home to this :)

I am simply extatic, also because I did not expect to get one. . . .With me not being around that much anymore and all.

[Valier]

I too have been bestowed the honor of having a personal title!!! I cannot believe it!! and to top it off I will get mine at the same time as some of my favorite Downer's;)

This is going to be interesting to see what everyone picks.

[Groin Redbeard]

Congratulations to all! Exactly how do you get a title? I know it has something to do with your reputation, but I don't know exactly how it works.

[Brinniel]

Eeks...how exciting this is! I was wondering when more BDers would get PTs as it's been awhile. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone chooses. :)

Exactly how do you get a title?
I believe you have to have at least 500 posts and make a significant contribution to the forum (in quality, not just quantity). Usually members who receive a PT have been around for at least a year, though that's not always the case.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Congratulations to all! Exactly how do you get a title? I know it has something to do with your reputation, but I don't know exactly how it works.

How do I get a personal title?

The best way to get an invitation to select a personal title is to distinguish yourself by making meaningful contributions to the forum. Here are some fast ways to NOT get a title:
Pester BW or the other moderators for one.
Quickly pump up your post count by posting anywhere and everywhere with low or no-content posts and topics.

[Gwathagor]

Meaningful? Blast. Sounds like it's going to be a while...

[Valier]

Hmmm this is going to be hard...I've got a few idea... what about something ww related?

If anyone would like to make some suggestions, I'm all ears

How about something with Elusive in it?;):p Elusive Elfmaiden...
What kind of title do you want? Funny, pretty, quarky?

[mormegil]

Congratulations to all! Exactly how do you get a title? I know it has something to do with your reputation, but I don't know exactly how it works.


Generally the requirment also consists of having 500 posts but some exceptions can be made as in the case of Naria as she was close to 500. It is true that you need to make yourself a name as a meaningful contributor to the forum, and at least fairly well known to an admin or mod.

And many felicitations to all the new recipients, they are well earned and deserved.

[Thinlómien]

Just noticed this:
Estelyn Telcontar
Princess of Skwerlz
:eek: :D

[Volo]

I am simply extatic, also because I did not expect to get one. . . .With me not being around that much anymore and all.
So was I, so extatic that I learned to jump sillily for a dance I should learn. :D

I too have been bestowed the honor of having a personal title!!! I cannot believe it!! and to top it off I will get mine at the same time as some of my favorite Downer'sHeheh, I don't think it's politically correct to say so, but I agree!

[Finduilas]

Meaningful? Blast. Sounds like it's going to be a while...

Haha. That's one of the first things I thought too.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Me too. . .I remember reading that the first time a month after I joined and at that point I had hardly posted outside the quiz room.

[Valier]

I have a bit of an idea...Mith I think it was you who first suggested this word to me? (Fey I mean) and it kinda works.... how about Feyline? Or something with that in it? It kinda has a ww twist (well for me anyways) and I have an ifinity for Felines as you may well have guessed about me already.

I would greatly approve of some suggestions...:D;)

oooh Oooh how about Femme Fey-line? Mith I owe you for both words...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I just want to remind you that my last name is Fey. . .:smokin:

This was it.

Of course fay means an elf so you could be a fey feline fay or even a - fey feline fée fatalebut perhaps I am going to far ...

nb fée is french for fay which seems right for fatale - and sounds the same

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Just noticed this:

Estelyn Telcontar
Princess of Skwerlz

Ah yes - my old title was lost in the forum's recent update and in the replacement process, I was allowed to change it. "Ghosted" no longer applies, since my internet access is now stable - and I rarely have time to chat nowadays anyway. So the "Princess" stayed with the addition of what I appear to be most associated with... ;) :rolleyes: :eek:

[Volo]

Of course fay means an elf so you could be a fey feline fay or even a - fey feline fée fatalebut perhaps I am going to far ...

nb fée is french for fay which seems right for fatale - and sounds the same

My vote goes for "fey feline fée fatale", it sounds so crazy that you must have it.:cool:

[Brinniel]

I just added Legate, Mac, Might, and Volo to the list. I also updated Esty's PT. Once more people receive their PTs, I will add them as well. :)

Once again, if I've left anyone out please let me know.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thank you very much for that list, it makes it so much easier for me to check if a titel is already taken.

[Lalwendë]

I just want to remind you that my last name is Fey. . .:smokin:

I have to say, you have got one of the coolest names I've ever heard. :cool:

[Groin Redbeard]

:eek:Legate, you got a title! Is it new,or have I just not noticed before? Anyway it fits you perfectly!!:D

[The Might]

Ok, so I just found out that gainsay means to oppose/deny.
And I can see how this fits him especially in Quiz and lore threads.

[Oddwen]

Congratulations to the latest batch of Titlers - very nice choices from all of you so far. :D

[Gil-Galad]

lot of great titles so far.

[Valier]

here's a ww reference....how about Valier - A Furried Soul :p:rolleyes:

[Volo]

Valier - A Furried Soul

No way! :eek:;) There are already several Souls around.

[mormegil]

here's a ww reference....how about Valier - A Furried Soul :p:rolleyes:


Lycanthropic Feline?

[Mithalwen]

But surely a werecat would be a feline fatale ;)

[Naria]

Ack! I've been racking my brain trying to think of something and I only came up with two variations: Elusive Fire or Elusive Fire Maiden, I don't think the maiden part suits me though...ugh I think I need some more help:(

Oh, and Val I think Feline Fatale would suit you wonderfully!

[Elmo]

Mine is the best, Shade of Carn Dum, it took me ages to think of.

[Valier]

Naria how about Fiery Enigma? or Enigma of Fire. I do like Elusive fire, but how about Elusive flame? just some ideas...

I do like Feline Fatale...I just can't seem to narrow down what it is exactly I want....should it be ww related? Should it be more about my personality?....Ugg this is the hardest thing to do.....My fiancee I am sure is sick of hearing different title options.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Mine is the best, Shade of Carn Dum, it took me ages to think of.haha

Actually I think that both Shade of Carn Dum and Ghost Prince of Cardolan are brilliant titles.

[Volo]

Valier, I still think that "Fey Feline Fée Fatale" sounds awesome.

Naria, "Elusive Fire" sounds great, though there are already several "fires" around.

Noticed that Bêthberry is "Ghost Prince of Cardolan" for some reason. :(

Why are some members listed as "Registered User"s?

[Mithalwen]

Valier, don't rush the decision, like a tattoo, it is not a decision you can change so you must be happy with it and be confident you can live with it. I am fairly sure that it isn't a time limited offer. Do you want to be defined by werewolf?

Naria, Elusive fire is good or maybe sub in spirit for maiden?

Someone suggested "untitled" once like a modern artwork..that was clever .

[Kath]

Ooh I like Valier's suggestion of Elusive Flame for Naria.

[Thinlómien]

Or what about Spirit of Elusive Flame or Spirit of Elusive Fire?

I like Macalaure's Fading Fëanorion and Legate's A Voice That Gainsayeth - there is a very MEish feel to both of them. And Volo's Silver in My Silent Heart sounds like it could be from Nightwish's lyrics, whether that be good or bad. ;)

[Volo]

And Volo's Silver in My Silent Heart sounds like it could be from Nightwish's lyrics, whether that be good or bad. ;)
:( You make me cry.

[Valier]

I love all the new Titles!! They are all just brilliant and fitting for each.

I agree Mith, I am not sure I should go with a ww title, since I haven't been an overly active wwer. I think I just feel a little pressured to pick one, when I see how fast others have decided on theirs. I think I will give this time. I will not be hasty....:p I am sure something will come to me.:D I'm just so dang indecisive and impatient at the same time...what a combo:rolleyes:

Who else has yet to decide? Rune and Naria I know have not picked one yet....Am I missing someone? Are you having a hard a time as me?

[Nogrod]

I think I just feel a little pressured to pick one, when I see how fast others have decided on theirs. I think I will give this time. I will not be hasty....:p I am sure something will come to me.:D I'm just so dang indecisive and impatient at the same time...what a combo:rolleyes:Take your time Valier! At the last round I was probably the last to come up with my PT. I had a lots of ideas but they all felt somewhat vague or not just what I thought the PT should be. But when it at last came to me it was quite clear it was exactly what I wanted.

So don't take a PT which you don't feel like "That's it!" because you need to live with it from that moment on. If you don't feel something is right then drop it and wait for the next good idea. You'll recognise the one then. And you should believe it as I myself was quite sceptical about this "you'll recognise the one when you cross it" -idea but in the end I really did even if it took some time...

And just my suggestion to you: Valier, I still think that "Fey Feline Fée Fatale" sounds awesome. Just make it simple... Feline Fatale, or Fatal feline... or this nice one Fey Fatale?

[Mithalwen]

Fey Fatale?
That is two adjectives ...unless you are Rune.... :)

[Bêthberry]

Noticed that Bêthberry is "Ghost Prince of Cardolan" for some reason. :(



I can't decide if this means I will be reborn or reincarnated. It happened also to Estelyn Telcontar and Child of the 7th Age, and since they are much better behaved than I am, I can only assume that I haven't been punished. :p

[Mithalwen]

Does that mean that you are in fact ,*gulp* , Glorfindel?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Rune, what about you including Fey in your PT? ;) (If Valier does not take it among many of the other names, that is.)

I really like all the new titles, indeed, I already told that to Miggy and Volo and I find Mac's one also very nice, truly Middle-Earthish. Can't wait for the rest. And thank all of you who appreciated my title, I haven't yet grown used to it, but I chose it by heart. It was really great and unexpected pleasant surprise when I got the PM from Mr. Barrow-Wight.

[Rikae]

Am I missing someone? Are you having a hard a time as me?

You mean me? :)
I had a vague idea of what I wanted months ago, and made the final choice a couple days ago, but for some reason when the BW changed it it wasn't saved properly. Now I'm just waiting for it to appear...

EDIT: And posting very little, because I like the idea of having a personal title before I reach 1000 posts!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

EDIT: And posting very little, because I like the idea of having a personal title before I reach 1000 posts!

You know what, post some five more posts and then wait (and hope you don't need to answer anything in the meantime ;) ) and post the 1000th as the first one with a new title... which I am really curious to see (just what is that you might have picked?)

...and no, you don't have to reply to this! Wait! :)

[Thinlómien]

After consulting the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, I decided that I like Rikae's new title. :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

After consulting the simple translator on Seznam.cz I decided I like it too :smokin:

[Rikae]

:D

Thanks, Lommy & Legate! I'll admit - 'mellifluous' has not, heretofore, been part of my active vocabulary. I found it looking through a dictionary for adjectives which alliterate with "Maia". I liked the allusion to either Melian or Saruman, depending on how you want to take it - moral ambiguity suits me. *wicked grin*

Good choices, my fellow newly-knighted Downers!
I'm curious about the thought process behind Legate's and Volo's (since TM already gave us his.) Macalaure's I knew beforehand, and I say he gets extra points for using a special character! ;)

Legate, when I saw your earlier post I wished I had time to take your advice - that would have been glorious. Oh well.. *sigh*
995th post!

[Volo]

I decided I liked Rikae's title even before I went to tracetech.net and got the slightest clue of what it might actually mean.

I'm curious about the thought process behind Legate's and Volo's
From my part I can only say that at first sight it looks extremely corny, at second sight you understand that it might actually be somehow BD-related, at the third sight you think that it sounds pretty good and at the fourth you don't even notice it.

I leave the meaning completely to your imagination and will try not to comment it like Lommy's imagination.

[Rikae]

Ack! I've been racking my brain trying to think of something and I only came up with two variations: Elusive Fire or Elusive Fire Maiden, I don't think the maiden part suits me though...ugh I think I need some more help:(


I like Elusive Fire very much. It's mysterious, evocative, and has a nice sound.

For Valier, I'm a fan of Feline Fay/Fée or Fey Feline... keeping it simple gives it more impact, I think. Oh, wait, can't it also be spelt "fae"? (Not to throw another spelling in the works...)

[Rikae]

I think I have some idea...

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I'm curious about the thought process behind Legate's and Volo's (since TM already gave us his.)
Well, I went through several ideas for a PT in my head, but as it happens to me more often, the right one popped up in my mind with no actual connotations. Though, in this case, it was something that already had strong place in my heart and that I always liked. For those who don't know, the title comes from one passage in Tuor's story, when Ulmo speaks to him:
And Ulmo spoke to Tuor of Valinor and its darkening, and the Exile of the Noldor, and the Doom of Mandos, and the hiding of the Blessed Realm. "But behold!" said he, "in the armour of Fate (as the Children of Earth name it) there is ever a rift, and in the walls of Doom a breach, until the full-making, which ye call the End. So it shall be while I endure, a secret voice that gainsayeth, and a light where darkness was decreed. Therefore, though in the days of this darkness I seem to oppose the will of my brethren, the Lords of the West, that is my part among them, to which I was appointed ere the making of the World."
I always liked Ulmo, and I always liked this part, and there are other things that I'll leave to your imagination and interpretation.

Legate, when I saw your earlier post I wished I had time to take your advice - that would have been glorious. Oh well.. *sigh*
995th post!
Well, look at it from the better side - your most glorious moment still awaits you and now you don't need to worry about having or not having the title when it comes :)

I leave the meaning completely to your imagination and will try not to comment it like Lommy's imagination.
Well, to me it gave the impression of a very poetic title - and also pressing upon me the idea of you as soft and dreamy person. ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Rune, what about you including Fey in your PT? ;) (If Valier does not take it among many of the other names, that is.)


That wasn't the plan, not that I don't want to. . .anyways I am begining to think that I will go with a titel that Lal sugested "Odinic Wanderer"

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

That wasn't the plan, not that I don't want to. . .anyways I am begining to think that I will go with a titel that Lal sugested "Odinic Wanderer"

I'd say it sounds good. After all, it will go nicely with your avvie, for I think even Karl Marx resembles Odin somewhat - or at least how I imagine him - if he got an eyepatch... :)

[The Might]

Well Odinic Wanderer is basically Gandalf.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

No. . . Just because Gandalf is an Odinic Wanderer, it does not mean that an Odinic Wanderer has to be Gandalf.

Anyways I am just going to consult my good friend and fellow Tolkien nerd Asbjørn and then make my desition.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I still vote Norseman of the Apocalypse for you Rune. ;) :p

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I still vote Norseman of the Apocalypse for you Rune. ;) :p
Yes and that is only one of the many things that scares me about you. :p

[Macalaure]

Thanks to everyone who likes my title. :) I thought it sounded nice and fitted very well to the image of Maglor wandering the world while gradually fading through the Ages.

Rune, I hope I won't scare you now, too, but I also like Norseman of the Apocalypse best. For Valier I'm voting for Feline Fatale, for Naria Elusive Flame.
*expects his opinion to be blatantly ignored* :p


My all-time favourite titles are Laconic Loreman, Alive without breath, A Mere Boggart, Drummer in the Deep, Night in Wight Satin, and Corpus Cacophonus. One doesn't even have to add their real screen names: their titles fit so perfectly and stick so much, they've become almost synomymous with their bearers.
Going through Brinn's list, I also like Hobbitus Emeritus (Gilthalion) and Scent of Symbelmyne (Sophia) very much.

Oh how I wanted to ignore this post. . .but I am too kind.
Norseman of the Apocalypse is not a title I consider, why would I use a biblical term?

I was considering Mariner of the Nothern Seas or Broadsword/Thunderbolt of the North and a few other ones.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I was considering Mariner of the Nothern Seas or Broadsword/Thunderbolt of the North and a few other ones.

The Odinic Wanderer still sounds the best to me. Mariner also does not sound too bad. In the last one, I would choose rather Broadsword than Thunderbolt, but still, being you, I'd choose one of the former two.

Anyway, don't let other people meddle into it much, and choose something you know you'll like and that you'd be comfortable with anytime even in the future.

[Oddwen]

What of Oloric Wanderer? Though that seems to strip the Viking element away entirely.

(I still think you should choose Viking to Rivendell. :P)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Norseman of the Apocalypse is not a title I consider, why would I use a biblical term?

I hasten to point out that the phrase 'Horsemen of the Apocalypse' appears nowhere in the Bible. In fact, the word apocalypse isn't there either. These are simply words taken on by commentators, presumably in the Middle Ages. It is in no way a 'Biblical term'. ;)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I hasten to point out that you are not exactly right, Hookbill. The word "apocalypse" is used once at the very beginning of the, ahem, Apocalypse ;) Or, to be clear: the word "apocalypse" is used at the beginning of certain writing, which was later named "THE Apocalypse" (eventually the Apocalypsis of John, etc.) because of this word. It is the very starting word of the writing, "apokalypsis" in original, translated "revelation". And that's also what "apocalypsis" means, regardless of what today's people imagine under it (generally it is catastrophe, for reasons unknown, as the central message of the Revelation, or any apocalyptic literature, certainly is not any catastrophe). But yes, under these terms, no reason for Rune to call himself "Norseman of Revelation", unless he wants to be often a Seer in WW (or be a wolf and reveal himself as one ;) :D ).

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I stand corrected. In my haste I didn't search for the Greek word as I should. If we were talking old testament terms, I could have gone on for hours. :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Well, sorry if I made a mistake. . .but to me Apocalypse is conected with the Juda-Christian writings.

Now to answer the question of yet another anonymous neg-repper!

I do not wish to use a term that to me is connected with christianity if there is other words just as good because I am not Christian. . .I am an Atheist!

So it is not something I do because I dislike Christianity more than the other great religions.

[Mithalwen]

Poor Rune.... I laughed so much when I saw Norseman of the Apocalypse but because I too associate it with the Bible I thought some might think its use, not blasphemous exactly but flippant perhaps or a little disrespectful. However it never occured that anyone could think NOT using it would be insulting ....

[Macalaure]

Oh how I wanted to ignore this post. . .but I am too kind.
Norseman of the Apocalypse is not a title I consider, why would I use a biblical term?I didn't even think about the Christian background of it. I simply liked the word play and thought it sounded pretty cool.

I can't believe somebody neg-repped you for that. Some people just can't be helped, I fear. :(

[The Might]

The problem is I can't understand who did that.
I thought new members can't rep others with more reputation and I doubt an older one would do that.
Or am I wrong? :confused:

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I believe since the system has been resetted, it got a little shuffled and now everyone can rep with more or less same weight. Anyway, I'd say we leave the topic - whoever it was, it is on him now to sort it out. And everyone can make a mistake or in some affect do a neg-rep - that's not our concern, only that person's and Rune's.

Hmm, does all this negative repping mean that Rune is a Dread Norseman?

(Actually, I guess that sounds too similar to Mister Underhill's PT.

Would you consider using something with the word "spectre" in it, Rune? That fits in with a ghoulish Downs theme as well as incorporating an allusion to another writer favoured by you.

:)

[Lalwendë]

Sorry, I'm sitting here laughing about Norseman Of The Apocalypse now. Why? It's like a great Monty Python sketch that never was...I can see it now...Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle and Michael Palin, dim figures riding in the mist while havoc is being wreaked around them involving demons and ladies of Babylon and whatnot - they come into view with those outfits on they had for the comic Vikings in the "Spam" sketch. "Weeee are the Four Norsemen of the Apocalypse!"

If Rune was to choose this title he would have to add some horns to poor old Marx. ;)

I like Odinic Wanderer because that is what Rune is! :cool:

[Eönwë]

I wonder. How do you change your title?

I was thinking about using "Spectre of Socialism/Communism" just to give Thenamir a run for his money.

[Gwathagor]

I think Rune should take "Norseman of the Apocalypse" for his title. It's much too clever to pass up. Just accept the Judeo-Christian implications; they're inescapable in Western culture. :cool:

[Mithalwen]

If he doesn't - well I can't help thinking that there should be Four Norsemen of the Apocalypse - Rune, The King of Nogland and.... ? Could be a more select and specific fellowhip than the Fenris pack....

Iddon't think that cunning plan works any more

Perhaps the next plan must involve a turnip? :p

Anyway to answer the question Eonwe, you have to have a certain number of posts that contribute to the forum and it used to be that you had to have reached a certain level of reputation but since the re-jig of that I'm not sure that's a factor anymore.

Oh I've just spotted this. Marvellous. :cool: He looks like he should be saying "The Norsemen have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Norsemen of all countries! Unite!"

[Volo]

Brinniel, do add Raynor to your list. ;) He got a very Raynor-ish PT.

[Brinniel]

Brinniel, do add Raynor to your list.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I finally added Rikae to the list along with Raynor. I'll update again when Rune, Valier, and Naria pick their PTs. Is there anyone else who has been offered a PT that I don't know about?

[Valier]

*cough,cough* :D:):p

[Thinlómien]

*cough,cough* I love it Valier - but I only saw a minute ago because Agan told me you had one. :D Rune's is nice as well.

I like yours because it's so playful and fits you perfectly, and I like the way Rune's sounds poetic.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

*cough,cough*

I like it!

I actually think it is a lot better than some of the early sugestions. . .

Aganzir just informed me that my PT is up now. . .so I am kind of using this post to test it and see if it fits me.:cool:

[Mithalwen]

I like it too though I think some of the early suggestions were excellent! But I think it is very clever with the various interpretations... :D

[Valier]

I love yours Rune!! Very fitting.
I like some of the early suggestions for mine(thanks everyone;)) and was going to pick one of them, but my Fiance suggested this for me and after a few days I decided he was right and I love it.

Now we just have to wait for Naria to pick one...;):D


Oh and the coughing was really just to test out my new title

[Mithalwen]

Yes they respond well to that..... especially the bright new shiny ones :D

[Oddwen]

Glad to see both of your titles at last, very nice indeed - though Rune, I am still slightly depressed that you didn't consider any of my suggestions. :p

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Oh but I did consider them, I just decided they where truly awful as well. . .

[Lalwendë]

Nice one, Rune :D That suits you soooo much!

*sends Rune many beers*

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks, both for the compliment and the beer, I love getting both.

I really like the PT as well, who would have thought that "A Mere Boggart" could come up with such a thing?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Yeah, I commented on your sig recently, Rune, but I can't let the mention of Odin go without serious hails! :D

Also, thanks for the list Brinniel. :)

[Mithalwen]

Thanks, both for the compliment and the beer, I love getting both.

I really like the PT as well, who would have thought that "A Mere Boggart" could come up with such a thing?

With Lal's title I always wonder about what the other sorts of Boggart are ..the Heath Boggart, the Wood Boggart and the Hill Boggart perhaps... ;)

[Morthoron]

With Lal's title I always wonder about what the other sorts of Boggart are ..the Heath Boggart, the Wood Boggart and the Hill Boggart perhaps... ;)

Or the Humphrey Boggart...a dark haired, monochromatic creature known to haunt film noir and speak with a slight lisp.

Surprisingly enough, the creature did in fact appear in Lord of the Rings...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xruJ10C19U

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Yeah, I commented on your sig recently, Rune, but I can't let the mention of Odin go without serious hails! :D


Don't worry about it. . . I don't mind.

Praise from people like you is always welcome.

[Mithalwen]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xruJ10C19U


That is fantastic!!!

And what of his successful but rather less talented cousin Dirk Boggart... ? I suspect he could have palyed Erestor...

Lauren Bacall would have been great as Eowyn...

[Brinniel]

Also, thanks for the list Brinniel.
No problem. :) And thanks because that comment reminded me I've been needing to update the list. I meant to do it awhile ago...whoops... :rolleyes:

Rune (whose title happens to remind me of my mom's maiden name) and Valier are now added to the list.

[alatar]

Lush (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/member.php?u=235)'s title, Fair and Cold, seems appropriate for this time of year, though she might want to add, "with a 70% chance of snow."

[Eönwë]

I see Fea's changed hers recently...

[Inziladun]

I see Fea's changed hers recently...

You're right! Wonder how she managed that?

[Formendacil]

You're right! Wonder how she managed that?

To ask the same question in a narrower manner: whom did she bribe, and with what?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

To ask the same question in a narrower manner: whom did she bribe, and with what?

A lady never tells.

[Boromir88]

I see Fea's changed hers recently...

I believe it translates to "The Beautiful Lady without Pity." A reference to Keats, and a rather fitting change for our Fea. Nothing against "Bringer of Red Dawn" but this one I like better. :D

[Mithalwen]

Do we need to keep watch for ailing knights at arms (at places where no birds sing of course).

[wilwarin538]

I greatly approve of the french title! It's very nice. :)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Do we need to keep watch for ailing knights at arms (at places where no birds sing of course).

Probably for the best that you do... I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Had Fea changed it to German or Tagalog it would have been über cool, but French. . .

Actually I loved your former title, it was definitely one of my all time favourites.

[A Little Green]

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :smokin:

Who else?

[satansaloser2005]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ^_^

I'm still trying to decide what mine shall be. Such difficult choices! :eek:

*squeals, does a dance*

[Elmo]

Well hello fellow title receivers :cool:

[Eönwë]

*Stifled excited noises* :D

[Morthoron]

*points to his spiffy new title*

I do believe the seniment is appropriate. :D

[Loslote]

Does this title make my butt look big? :Merisu:

:D:D

[Eruhen]

Your hindquarters, not so much. Your head, a little. Only a little, though, O She Who Subdues the North. ;)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Cool titles, those of you who already have them, all of you! I approves of all! :)

And for those who haven't picked theirs yet, surely looking forward to seeing them and hoping they'll be equally interesting.

And for all of you together, congratulations are in order, in any case! You all deserve them! :)

[Galadriel55]

I have been pretty much jumping around the room with joy since I read the PM. :D


I'm still trying to decide what mine shall be. Such difficult choices! :eek:

Indeed! I'm still deciding. I think I'll come up with one this evening.

(And thanks Legate! :))

*edit: good-bye Cardolan! I have a nice new shiny title to display! Yuppieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!*

Thanks Barrow Wight!

[Oddwen]

This is so exciting! :D Congratulations to you all!

[Bêthberry]

Congratulations to all the new PTers. I'm very much enjoying the new titles and seeing how they fit/describe the image I have of each poster. :D

I can repeat what Gal55 said: thank you, Barrow Wight. These wights are very deserving.

PS. Galadriel55, you know your PT will become a topic of some discussion this Tolkien Reading Day! ;)

[Estelyn Telcontar]

What fun to see new, imaginative PTs! Congratulations to all of you!

Now just imagine an über-cute photo of applauding skwerlz...

[A Little Green]

Wow, I'm feeling all classy now. Good choices by the way, folks!

[Galadriel55]

Wow, I'm feeling all classy now. Good choices by the way, folks!

Thanks! I really like yours too! Funny thing, I've considered a few titles with the words "leaf" and "lady". I'm glad I didn't pick them! Otherwise, we would clash! :D


Great new titles everyone! And there are more comming, I think.

[Aganzir]

I might be one of the few Downers who never gave her PT a thought (apart from coming up with Lommy's Pet Dwarf, which she thinks I should choose), so I'm open to preferably sinister, bawdy and/or violent suggestions.

Greenie, your new title is very stimulating.

[Galadriel55]

PS. Galadriel55, you know your PT will become a topic of some discussion this Tolkien Reading Day!

Will you and I be discussing while the others are trying to figure out what we are talking about? ;)

Lommy's Pet Dwarf

^.^ Better than Boro's Dance Partner :D

But, seriously, I think that "dancer" fits you nicely. Water Dancer is the first thing that came into my head, but that's a wrong mythology. Dancing Lioness? :p

preferably sinister, bawdy and/or violent suggestions

Bloodthirsty Devil.

[Aganzir]

^.^ Better than Boro's Dance Partner
:D
Yeah no, I think I'll skip that one as well. ;)

I am currently toying with some Thuringwethil/Ungoliant/balrog ideas, but I'm far from decided. Thanks for the suggestions, O Lady of Dwimordene.

[Inziladun]

Agan, yours should be The Whisperer In Darkness, The Thing On the Doorstep, or Death From Above. ;)

[Galadriel55]

I am glad to be of service, O Unnamed Horror. ;) (Hmm... maybe you want to be a Namless Thing? :p)

Balrog:

A Winged Balrog
Fire of Moria
Demon of Power


Ungoliant:

Weaver of Shadow/Darkness
Bane of the Trees
Daughter of Unlight
Everlasting Lust


Yeah, those are more about them than containing them... No ideas with Thuringwethil yet.

Edit: xed with Zil who has much better suggestions (actually!) But it's all up to Agan in the end. :)

[Inziladun]

Alternately for Agan, Gleefully Grisly or Nebulous Nightwind / Nightmare.

[Morthoron]

so I'm open to preferably sinister, bawdy and/or violent suggestions.

Based on your old avatar, why not just have:

Mufasacidal Martinet

[Lalwendë]

...I'm open to preferably sinister, bawdy and/or violent suggestions.

I keep thinking of the Nidhoggr, the wyrm that gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil. And the un-named things that live in the roots of Middengeard...

:eek:

[satansaloser2005]

Everlasting Lust

I think we pretty much have a winner....

[Eruhen]

"The Thing That Should Not Be"?

Sorry, wrong mythology...

[Galadriel55]

Mufasacidal Martinet

Well, you at least have a quite fitting PT... :eek: :p;)

[Bêthberry]

Now just imagine an über-cute photo of applauding skwerlz...

Would this meet with your approval, Ms. Telcontar?

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y64/MimsyBorogroves/skwerlhappy.jpg


Will you and I be discussing while the others are trying to figure out what we are talking about?

Mwa ha ha. You brought the banana; you will have to deal with cross-discussing. :D

[Galadriel55]

Mwa ha ha. You brought the banana; you will have to deal with cross-discussing. :D

And I intend to bring another one to Reading Day. Plus, the banana already became part of the moot silliness - and you're partially to blame. :p:D



And to keep this on topic...-ish (or that skwerl will suddenly stop being cute!), here's a list with Thuringwethil-related things:

Secret Shadow
Death on Wings
Flight of Darkness
Tidings of Death (this one is also referencing to Faramir's line about Boromir's death - how tidings of death have many wings...)

[Inziladun]

Or the whimsical Dreadfully Delightful, or maybe Capricious Cougar. :)

[Oddwen]

Biter.


There's always Pixiediculous. ;)

Wielder of Isildur and Mim

Karhu-Muna

Permanently Prepared

Devourer of All Things / Slays King, Ruins Town

Vicious Vixen

Creepy Crawly

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Agan, yours should be The Whisperer In Darkness, The Thing On the Doorstep, or Death From Above. ;)
Totally wrong mythos ;) By the way, were these three supposed to refer to the aforementioned Thuringwethil-Ungoliant-Balrog? Respectively??? (points at the latest)

Everlasting LustI think we pretty much have a winner....
Yes, that looks pretty much convincing. However,

Karhu-Muna
is my favourite this far :)

Biter.
I think she possibly wouldn't mind even Biter and Beater, for that matter.

Ungoliant-related still, the "Mistress of Her Own Lust" is probably too long, is it? Otherwise, I can't think right now of anything similar from the mythos. But the one pointed above by G55 I think is related enough.

[Inziladun]

I think she possibly wouldn't mind even Biter and Beater, for that matter.

Ungoliant-related still, the "Mistress of Her Own Lust" is probably too long, is it? Otherwise, I can't think right now of anything similar from the mythos. But the one pointed above by G55 I think is related enough.

I like Beater and Biter. Maybe Devouring Fire as well, or, on the "teeth" motif, We Has Only Six. :p

[Galadriel55]

I don't get what's all the "wrong mythos" stuff about. Is that a reference to some other fantasy book?

Playng with Everlasting Lust, you can get Everlasting and Everlusting, or something like Ever Thirsting Never Drinking - though that one might be too close to Hooky's Alive Without Breath.

[Pitchwife]

Wow, what a nice surprise. And nice choices everybody!

Agan: Lascivious Lioness? But I must say I like Biter and Beater as well.

Greenie, your new title is very stimulating.
You know, this sounds as if it was Leafy Lettuce.:p

I don't get what's all the "wrong mythos" stuff about. Is that a reference to some other fantasy book?
Read at your own peril. (http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/fiction/)

[Aganzir]

I want you to know that I love all your suggestions! If Lommy was home, she'd probably be wondering why I'm chuckling alone in my room.

However, I'm also letting you know that I'm not going to pick a Lovecraft-themed PT, because delightful as it was to read his stories alone, at the summer cabin in the middle of the night, in my teens, it also scared the crap out of me. I like to think I've grown more stable since, but you never know. ;)

Mistress of Her Own Lust is one I thought of, as was Unlight. My options also included Naked Flame and Shadow and Flame, but I think I've now more or less decided what to choose...

edit: xed with Pitch. Wee hee I like it! Very appropriate. :)

[Galadriel55]

Read at your own peril. (http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/fiction/)

Might be I will, some time or other. :)

<3 your title.

Agan, I can't wait to see yours! :D

Edit: Good one, Ms Thuringwethil! :D

[Gwathagor]

Still settling on mine. It is, presumably, permanent and I want to get it right.

[Mithalwen]

You should work on that basis..... Fea and Esty have changed theirs but I reckon they are the exceptions that prove the rule. So not to be done lightly. Others have things that suit them well but I still like mine best for me... It is like the Elvish self naming..

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Well hello fellow title receivers :cool:

Yaaasss min. :smokin:

Enjoying the huns' demise, Elmo? I certainly am! Long overdue.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

With all of the new titles recently, this thread has certainly seen a revival! I wanted to put in my two cents. I am rather enjoying G55's, Agan's, and Greenie's. All are clever an pretty, so I like them.

[Aganzir]

Thank you! How long have you had yours? Because I could swear I haven't seen it until now (except it's possible I have - I get this feeling of old and new at the same time, if you know what I mean)! Anyway, I like it. I think it suits you really well. :D

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Thank you! How long have you had yours? Because I could swear I haven't seen it until now (except it's possible I have - I get this feeling of old and new at the same time, if you know what I mean)! Anyway, I like it. I think it suits you really well. :D
You're welcome. It took me a while longer to decide on one than the rest of you guys, but not too much longer. I think I've had mine for two or three months. Honestly, how much have I posted since then, though?

[Gwathagor]

Mine is a pun.

[Aganzir]

Yeah, I noticed it. It's great. :D

[Mithalwen]

Nerwen has hers!!! And not afore time... :D

[Galadriel55]

Thanks TGEW!

I love so many tites, new and old, that I wouldn't even try to list them. Basically all... :rolleyes::D

[Mithalwen]

My favourites are still things like Alive without Breath and Drummer in the Deep which are both spooky and Tolkien-y.

[Galadriel55]

I noticed today that skip has one - is that also new? I rather like it too, and I don't remember it from before... but then again maybe he just didn't post for a while...

Honestly, though, I'd have to list most of the Downers with titles if I was to name all the ones I like. :D

[Mithalwen]

More observant than me - I just dug up this thread because I noticed Skips fabulous title. Only conclusion being that Skip needs to post more! :p

[Bêthberry]

"shadow of a doubt" is indeed very cool.

Congratulations, Snowdog, on the new title. :)

*Bumping this thread to recognize a return to an old Barrow-downs tradition**

Congratulations, Snowdog, on the new title. :)

Thank you much Boromir! Back in '99 when I found Barrow Downs with my EZBoard global account, I was Snowdog living in the high mountains of Washington State. I have since moved well south and west of there. This place, and two others are the only remaining vestige of my old Snowdog moniker. The rest have long since fell into ruin.

[Mithadan]

Congratulations to ArcusCalion on his new personal title: Quentingolmo.

[Mithadan]

Congratulations to Huinesoron on his personal title: Overshadowed Eagle!

[Galadriel55]

Woohoo! A new wave of titles! Congratulations everyone!

[Huinesoron]

Congratulations to Huinesoron on his personal title: Overshadowed Eagle!

Trying it out here for the first time... thank you! I kind of feel like it's cheating just to translate my screenname, but it was the only thing I found that I felt comfortable with.

(I looked at "Shadowed by Great Wings", but it turns out that's not a Tolkien construction - it comes from Warhammer 40K, which is a bit far afield!)

~Huinesoron Eagleshade, Overshadowed

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Woohoo! A new wave of titles! Congratulations everyone!

It is always such an exiting time.

Congratulations, they are well deserved.

[Mithalwen]

Well done all. I am very treeing these days but I remember how excited I was to get my PT

[Mithadan]

Congratulations to William Cloud Hicklin on his new personal title: Loremaster of Annúminas!

[Mithadan]

Congratulations to Urwen on her new personal title, Spirit of Nen Lalaith.

[Urwen]

This makes me happy.
