Hmmm, I haven't even seen Ransom's avatar, Archer...I'll have to check it.

You guys are full of beans, I would never say anything like that.

I like Legolas because he makes substantive posts in The Books without fiddling around or making things up.

Well there is something I never heared in my life. Quite a cool thing to say.

Burrahobbit:FOr his ever shiny sun and his beans remark. All hail to the king of beans.

It is not shiny is is dark and brooding and happy.

Even better. Maika would like that.

Helka, what you siad about my RPG on Bree.... haha.... you're soooo funny. AND RIP0-OFF WAS MY IDEA! MY OWN! MY PRECIOUSSSS!!!! ^_-

Ok, I still mean what I said earlier ie. that I like you all but now I would like to mention some persons by name. I named Sophia already but

The Saucepan Man deserves also to get nominated as a royalty of the Quiz Room. His cryptic clues... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] You can't help but love the man with the pans!

Taralphiel, thank you for accepting me to your Swan Wood RPG! We are just beginning our quest but it has already been interesting. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

All characters from In the Footsteps of the Grey Company RPG, especially all the evil ones: that game will be great fun me thinks!

Airehiriel, the beginner of the Make your own crazy scene with pics -thread. Need I say more? Thanks for all the maniacal laughter! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Child of the Seventh Age, you probably haven't really noticed me but you're a historian and I'm (hopefully) soon to become one; so we have something in common. And I too love Cami! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Helkahothion: You really have to like a guy who says something like that to you! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Manardariel: Why, mentioning me of course! jk! You were actually the first person I truly noticed here on the Downs when I started haunting here. I guess it was partially due to your avatar...Moulin Rouge - I love that movie!


So many people here that I like, many more dear names... I haven't forgotten ye though you weren't mentioned above! I have a very good memory! I...?!?! What am I doing here? Black screen? Green letters?? Don't ring a bell...*dashes off*

This seems like the kind of thread that people post on just so that they will get noticed and mentioned. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Squatter of Amon Rudh is the coolest not only because of his ways with words, but because he has a most humorus name.
Rimbaud is another of my favorite wordsmiths of this site, but as for greatest name, The Saucepan Man takes the cake. And the frosting... and the ice cream...

Beren87 is quite a cool fella as well, not to mention he has an encyclopedic knowledge of Middle Earth formidable enough to challenge my own. (That is my own before my Lent sebaticle it seems...)
And finally Lush because she makes me laugh [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

EDIT: Oh yes, and I nearly forgot. That rambuctious little guy, Gimli son of Gloin. He wasn't always my favorite guy, but I liked him at least for one thing... He agreed with me that we need an axe as one of the message icons!!! Yahoooo! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

What I really really like about people is animated avatars that slow my computer down.

And I like about people that they catch the essence and purpose of this thread.

Lindolirian, gilraen, and The Saucepan Man for being some of the top Quizzers around, [and not to mention some of the best people.]

lindil, for being a complete an utter genius, for his random disappearances [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] , and for being able to write things faster than I can edit them.

VanimaEdhel, for stalking me and being able to spell the names of various eating disorders about as well [or as poorly] as I can. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I'll probably miss some of you, I don't have a lot of time before my dad kicks me off the computer... These are the most recent people that I have comments for:

GaladrieloftheOlden-You were the one who showed me the Downs in the first place! Thanks! And for explaining some stuff about the Footsteps of the Grey Company discussion thread
Amanduial the Archer-For helping me so much in Escape from Nurn, and for being very kind
All the mods and administraters-For helping me with the RPGs, and for helping maintain some of the forums that I love most

I have more people to comment, but as I said, I'm running out of time........

Wow, I forget about this thread for a month and come back and look what's happened to it! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I'd really like to thank Silmarien, The Evenstar, Ithaeliel, Niluial, Amanaduial, Amunte, and kittiewhirl for mentioning me here (though some of these metnions lie in long-forgotten pages of this thread… [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) Also, some more people to mention:

kittiewhirl1677 for coming here regularly when I pretty much forced this site on you [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]:

Niluial for not hating me when it takes me a month to answer your PMs (I’ll answer tomorrow, I promise. Or actually, maybe the day after… [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

Trippo the Hippo for her/his original choice of name. (Judging by the avatar, her, but you never know.)

Every person I’ve gotten to join the Downs for coming here regularly. (Posting in the *shudders* public LotR AIM chatroom seems to work, so if you came here because of a SquirrelGurl126 mentioning this site, that was me [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

What about me? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress for being so nice to me.

anyone who has posted in the Crazy Sences thread with all the pictures:for making me die so many times of laughter

Heaven forgive me! I forgot the best person of all - Nurumaiel! She's the one who introduced me to BD. A thousand thanks! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Also, to Kementari, Queen of the Earth, because she registered at my suggestion. She has not since posted, but then, she doesn't have the internet at her house. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Cheers,

~ Elentari II

Wow! I should have checked out this thread a long time ago! I've been told I have a smart mind and make great lembas! Imagine that! (OK, I admit the "Smart Mind" remark had me wetting my pants; if you only knew.)

I can't tell you all how I have enjoyed all of your company over the last year. You have all brought me through a long and lonely year.

Mark12:30 ( aka Helen) Joy and Samwise You are such a great friends and sisters in the Lord. I value your friendship and your support.

Gandalf the Grey You are so kewl and friendly and manage to stay on topic while being both.

piosenniel talk about a creative lady! great friendship craft ideas and recipes all rolled into one.

Birdland and Diamond18 You never cease to make me laugh. The site wouldn't be the same without you.

There are so many others, I know I'll have to make another list. Thank you all for your friendship.

The LotR AIM chatroom, Galadriel? The way I got here as well! Ever seen or heard of Samwise of the Shire (I cant remember the spaces) aka Mikey? He got me here, although he isnt here himself any more.

piosenniel : for editing my Rp posts and making me think about my writing.

Meoshi: Making me slow down and watch my spelling.

Amanaduial- I didn't get here from the LOTR chatroom, but from a google search on fanart [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] , but it does get a lot of people here, I should think.

~Menelien

I can't forget Sophia the Thunder Mistress for being so kind as to write such a blunt analysis of my characters.

Awwwww... thank you.. another person likes me! Doesnt everyone feel so loved when they get told they are liked...? Well I do [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

*blushes, causing her face to look like a ripe tomato*

Well, I am attempting to take over the world, but that's just gonna be our little secret. The alecake sure has caught on though... ALECAKE WAS MY INVENTION! Whee!

Ouch... Annalaliath, I hope you meant that in a good way... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Sophia

Why shouldn't I? I asked you for it and I appreciate it. Thanks you rock!

Archer: For the most memorable line in the Party thread to date..."Hell's Angels meets Gucci" describing our Party garb! Maika and I laughed our butts off! She has now decided to tell people that is the name of her personal style...thanks again! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

A couple more:

Lindolirian- for being welcoming [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

the real findorfin- for excellent family trees, and being able to hold his "online liquor"

Maegaladiel- for often unnoticed wit and charm.

and Annunfuiniel (whom I know I've already mentioned, but yet again...) for writing better than me in a language that's not even her own.

Sophia

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] LOL!

Mithadan:For organizing the best BD pary ever!

Second that one. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I third that!

Sophia for making me laugh at myself... hehehe [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Any time, any time [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Gosh, I wish I could get out 500 posts in 11 days... and have them all say something (unlike this one...)

[ May 02, 2003: Message edited by: Sophia the Thunder Mistress ]

Thanks for the kind words, Rim, Squatter, and burrahobbit.

Kate - A great friend; very funny, smart, sometimes sarcastic - maybe she should POST MORE OFTEN. HM?!

Rimbaud - Very witty, intelligent, and has great taste in music. I'm still jealous of his concert experience.

Squatter - Also very witty, intelligent, and an all-around nice guy.

Orald - Very humble about his thorough knowledge. Always good to chat with too.

Sharku-away - shows up when you least expect him to; knows a lot stuff about stuff I wish knew a lot more about (same goes for Squatter, Rimbaud)

Barrow-Wight - good taste, very funny, benevolent

burrahobbit - very smart, concise, has a high-quality nonsense detector

obloquy - smart, pro at satire, hilarious

Mhoram - see 'The Fatty Bolger Challenge'

In addition to onewhitetree, Merendis and Gwindor would be great forum members if they posted [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[ May 02, 2003: Message edited by: Legolas ]

Donlammenion: Well he made/makes a great date to big events and he has a good sense of humour!

I fourth the one about Mithadan...

One Axe to Rule Them All- for inviting me to dance at the party *blushes*

Arafangwen- for coming to the Downs when invited [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] and for being so *ahem* forgiving when my character got dead drunk and went out black [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Dont worry I know how you feel! Getting drunk... its sad! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I vote for Mithadan too. The party is brilliant!

I agree!!

Lyra Greenleaf- because of her name, I know cannot read the His Dark Materials trilogy (again) without the image of her avatar flashing in front of my eyes. Which I consider a good thing because I like to think of the Barrow Downs at all times and that just acts like a special reminder [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
