Glirdan 01-02-2006 09:25 PM

Ummm... Fea perhaps?

Feanor of the Peredhil 01-19-2006 12:07 AM

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?

The Saucepan Man 01-19-2006 03:58 AM

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

Eomer of the Rohirrim 01-19-2006 09:22 AM

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. ;)

Thinlómien 01-19-2006 09:54 AM

Spawn?

The Saucepan Man 01-19-2006 11:35 AM

Nope, neither of those.

A clue?

Hmm.

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

Kath 01-19-2006 04:07 PM

THE Ka?

Hilde Bracegirdle 01-21-2006 10:28 AM

How about the guy who would be short?

the guy who be short 01-22-2006 10:56 AM

I would be short? :confused:

Hilde Bracegirdle 01-22-2006 06:16 PM

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

Correction: the guy who be short?

Thinlómien 01-27-2006 11:13 AM

Nilpaurion Felagund?

Gil-Galad 01-27-2006 02:01 PM

Feanor of the Peredhil?

Amanaduial the archer 01-27-2006 02:20 PM

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

Boromir88 01-27-2006 03:01 PM

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.

Gil-Galad 01-27-2006 04:23 PM

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

The Saucepan Man 01-29-2006 07:28 PM

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:

Thinlómien 01-30-2006 10:15 AM

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

The Saucepan Man 02-01-2006 02:21 PM

Nope.

Final clue

Valier 02-01-2006 03:49 PM

Is it Roa-Aofie? :confused:

Hilde Bracegirdle 02-01-2006 04:02 PM

obloquy!

Glirdan 02-01-2006 06:49 PM

Bêthberry?

The Saucepan Man 02-01-2006 07:23 PM

At last!

Hilde Bracegirdle 02-02-2006 05:53 AM

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

Hilde Bracegirdle 02-03-2006 11:51 AM

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

Thinlómien 02-14-2006 11:21 AM

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?

Amanaduial the archer 02-14-2006 12:28 PM

Any chance of a clue, Pan-man?

Hilde Bracegirdle 02-14-2006 03:10 PM

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

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

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-15-2006 02:48 AM

Is it, by any chance, Mme. Guinevere?

Hilde Bracegirdle 02-15-2006 06:57 AM

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

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-15-2006 07:15 AM

Thanks!
 
Khamûl's occupation.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 02-15-2006 08:25 AM

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

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-15-2006 08:27 AM

Simply enough:
 
Correct. :cool:

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 02-15-2006 09:04 AM

Simple obscurity
 
Different alternative makes suspicious tea.

JennyHallu 02-15-2006 09:10 AM

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

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 02-15-2006 09:20 AM

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

the guy who be short 02-15-2006 10:15 AM

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!

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-15-2006 06:31 PM

Simple question:
 
Is this, by any chance, cryptic?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 02-17-2006 04:05 AM

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.

Hilde Bracegirdle 02-17-2006 05:30 AM

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

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 02-17-2006 08:14 AM

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?
