Ummm... Fea perhaps?

Sauce, dear, my ears were ringing and now I greatly desire to know if Glirdan is correct. Would you be so unkind as to keep me in suspense?

Well let me put your ears at rest, Fea, and declare Glirdan's answer incorrect ...

Rimbaud. Parts of the clue ring a bell but I can't fit them together to make a good reason for it. I know you love giving reasons, Saucey. ;)

Spawn?

Nope, neither of those.

A clue?

Hmm.

The question relates to a reference to a royal artist in a member's signature ... :p :D

THE Ka?

How about the guy who would be short?

signature:

I would be short? :confused:

Horrors! Please accept my apologies. *Very very bad Hilde!* :eek:

Correction: the guy who be short?

Nilpaurion Felagund?

Not Fea, she's already been guessed. Any more clues/indication if those last guesses are right, Saucey?

Ummm is it Encaitare?

If I remember she created that artistic thread a while ago. Though I'm not good at deciphering meanings and stuff so I have no idea about the "royal" hint.

Meneltarmicil if she hasn't been guessed already...

A negative response, and more hints ...
 

None of the above. :p

This person's sig features the first name of a person who recently painted a portrait of a member of royalty.

A knowledge of recent British current affairs might help ... :rolleyes:

Doesn't help me... So sigs with names... Aman?

Nope.

Final clue

Is it Roa-Aofie? :confused:

obloquy!

Bêthberry?

At last!
 

Bingo! Hilde, you take the prize - which is to ask the next question. :)

Message received, captain. Will transmit next clue as soon as I can find one! ;)

Clue: Sir Gawain defended the king’s honor against the Green Knight, but when it comes to this Downer, he rather not.

It has been nearly two weeks from posting the question and no one has had ideas. What about a clue? Or shall I just start guessing randomly?

Any chance of a clue, Pan-man?

Glad to see that someone is still checking in here. :)

Next clue: This queenly downer is mortally afraid of burnt stake.

Is it, by any chance, Mme. Guinevere?

Absolutely correct, Nilp! You're at the helm.

Thanks!
 

Simplicity itself
 

I expect you're referring to Keeper of Dol Guldur.

Simply enough:
 

Correct. :cool:

Simple obscurity
 

Different alternative makes suspicious tea.

Simply A Guess...
 

Hookbill the Goomba? For his wish in the thread Be Careful What you Wish For...

Nope
 

That would be referring to a Downer's title by reference to a single post, which is too obscure even for me.

Is this to do with Douglas Adams' concern that Americans are makers of suspiciously untealike tea? I fear not, but it sprung to mind, and Douglas Adams is oft quoted in the sig of Thinlomien. I think.

Edit: Gothmog, not Thinlomien!

Simple question:
 

Is this, by any chance, cryptic?

Almost, but not quite entirely, unlike a post
 

I thought that was a range of vending machines from the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, tgwbs. Anyway, that's not the answer.

Yes, Nilpaurion, it's a cryptic one. Also I wouldn't be so obvious as to choose a member whose name's likely to appear on any first pages.

Good luck.

Perhaps it is Kath? (An alternate form of Kathryn, as is Katy)

Not so convoluted
 

The clue is a much more direct reference to the member's title. Besides, how do we account for anything apart from the 'tea' given that solution?
