In the hope of being pointed to the right lines...

Kath? Because there are two people in her avatar, and there's a sort of duality going on in the clue. Can't explain what the words mean, though.

Diamond18 05-26-2006 07:29 PM

You're right in looking to the avatars, but it's not Kath.

Diamond18 05-27-2006 01:01 PM

I didn't think it would be a hard one, but... do you give up? Should I give the answer? I don't want this thread to die just because of my question. :rolleyes:

Eomer of the Rohirrim 05-27-2006 01:06 PM

I've spent quite a while looking through the avatars (apparently only 3 people are playing this game just now ;) ).

Sure you couldn't give a li'l clue?

Diamond18 05-27-2006 01:08 PM

The Downer in question is female. There is an actress in her avatar. Her name is Lee Lee Sobieski.

That's more than a lil' clue. :p

Eomer of the Rohirrim 05-27-2006 01:14 PM

Easy when you know who that is, I suppose. And just, who is she? :p

Embarrassing to get this wrong but the face in that avatar is so small and I can't see it well. Is it Folwren?

Glirdan 05-27-2006 01:15 PM

Curses, you beat me to it. I was going to say either her or Fea, but I'm pretty sure it's Folwren.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 05-27-2006 01:17 PM

Who is that hot actress in Fea's avatar, I wonder... :p

Diamond18 05-27-2006 01:21 PM

Well that would be Fea. :p

Eomer got it. Folwren has a picture of Lee Lee Sobieski as Joan of Arc for her avvie.

Your turn again.

Well if I'd said See See Joan Joan it would have been much too easy. :p Plus it wouldn't have rhymed....

Eomer of the Rohirrim 05-27-2006 01:27 PM

I guess this one will be terribly easy but it made me laugh.

Would that the Downers had a single neck!

Diamond18 05-27-2006 01:32 PM

Anguirel?

Eomer of the Rohirrim 05-27-2006 01:34 PM

And why would it be Anguirel, dear? :p

(Incidentally, it's not.)

Diamond18 05-27-2006 02:02 PM

It just sounds like something he'd say. When you said it "made you laugh" I assumed you were quoting something the Downer in question had said.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 05-27-2006 03:05 PM

It's not a Downer quotation, though it is quotation-derived. That's the first clue.

mormegil 05-28-2006 10:45 AM

Garin for his Caligula avatar and it's a Caligula quote about wishing all Roman's had a single neck.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 05-28-2006 12:25 PM

Got it! Oooh baby, he's got it! :D

Take it away, my lupine comrade. ;)

mormegil 05-28-2006 11:23 PM

Thank you Eomer!

Card's End mistake

Diamond18 05-29-2006 05:32 PM

Um, okay. This is tenuous...

Nurumaiel

Because "Card's End" might refer to the personal title... it's what you get after Ghost Prince of Cardolan, so... card's end.

Her PT is "Vice of Twilight" which I think is a typo of "Voice of Twilight." (Or maybe it is supposed to be Vice. But I'm stretching, here.)

mormegil 05-29-2006 06:27 PM

You're on the wrong track on one point but the correct track on another. :p

Glirdan 05-29-2006 08:18 PM

My guess is that she was right about the Personal Title. Perhaps what we're looking at is an anagram?

mormegil 05-29-2006 09:01 PM

Yes and No

Diamond18 05-29-2006 10:53 PM

I've combed through all the PT's I can find. Can you tell me, is it an actual PT or does this person still have Ghost Prince of Cardolan? (My eyes, think of my poor eyes... :p)

mormegil 05-29-2006 11:02 PM

First I would like to say that this is my attempt at being cryptic though it probably doesn't follow the rules to the letter but oh well. Yes the clue relates to an actual PT, though you are a sad lot asking for clues and not guessing at all.

No it's not Ghost Prince.

Diamond18 05-29-2006 11:16 PM

littlemanpoet

Bard Oder -- Odor is misspelled (though intentionally).

edit: I still think it's LMP but I'm not so sure that Oder is a misspelling of Odor, maybe it's Order. Instead of Bad Odor is Bard Order but for the pun to work the R is taken from Order and put into Bad. Ach. LMP explained it once upon a time but the explanation is fuzzy now.

mormegil 05-30-2006 06:50 PM

Sorry but no.

Diamond18 05-30-2006 11:45 PM

*whimper*

Well, I hope someone a bit smarter can come along and guess, 'cause I'm officially clean out of ideas.

mormegil 05-30-2006 11:52 PM

Think of a synonym for mistake and that may help a bit.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 05-31-2006 07:34 AM

Is it Iarwain?

His PT is Pugnaciously Primordial Paradox. The mistaken end or ending mistake you refer to could be twisted around into a primordial paradox.

mormegil 05-31-2006 07:56 AM

Card's End mistake

When you find a synonym for mistake combine it with End.

mormegil 06-01-2006 06:53 AM

a bad choice of words for a synonym but mistake = err

mormegil 06-01-2006 08:26 PM

Additional hint seemingly...

Bugger killer.

ninja91 06-02-2006 05:23 AM

Stupid guess: Minas Morgul?

mormegil 06-02-2006 07:07 AM

No not Minas Morgul, is that even a Barrowdowner?

Feanor of the Peredhil 06-02-2006 07:36 AM

All I can think is Birdland who is our Ghastly Neekerbreeker. But she doesn't fit all of the clues... :rolleyes:

No it doesn't fit one of the clues :p .

It's in reference to another book, a non-Tolkien book.

Valier 06-02-2006 12:22 PM

Could it be Ender? I know the book you speak of Morm but I cannot find a member with a suitable name to fit your clues...yet

Edit: It could be Beanamir.....Bean was also a bugger killer.

mormegil 06-02-2006 12:47 PM

You're on the right path but not the correct answer. There is a PT that matches or comes very close to matching...think about it and you will get it.

JennyHallu 06-02-2006 01:50 PM

I know, I know!!!

Orual, our resident Speaker for the Dead!

mormegil 06-02-2006 01:58 PM

Thank you I was beginning to feel that my clue was hopelessly bad and that nobody would ever get it. I'm sorry if it was too vague.
