Thank you Bekah.

I like everyone, who has not slapped me or sayd that I should get on-topic. So that would be ehm, eh, that's eh, ahw just forget it.

*opens his mouth, but closes it again*

No use. You would just reply with 8 more smileys. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Helkahothion 05-10-2003 06:57 AM

Don't sweat it. I have done off-topic lot's of times. They don't ban you. The least they do is ask to delete your post. Every tread has a part where they go off-topic a bit. So let's go back to the topic at hand:

During my stay here I grew fond of Aylwen Dreamsong. Hell of an RPer and she has some great fighting skills.

Bekah 05-10-2003 06:58 AM

Does that mean she's really good at RPing or really bad?

~ Elentari II

Helkahothion 05-10-2003 09:22 AM

It means she is a hell of an RPGer. That's positive.

Sapphire_Flame 05-10-2003 10:57 AM

Man, did I find this thread late... o.O

Let's see, right off I'll mention:
Arestelwen-for being way cool, and reading my story at FF.net.
ElentariGreenleaf-Also cool. And for coming up with that great DO THE WAVE avatar!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Helkahothion-(even though he's been mentioned about a billion times already) for being completely insane, and being a fanfic author, and being from Holland.

Oh, and thanks, Lossie, for mentioning me! I thought I'd been forgotten! *sniffle*

Awww....how could we? I'd send you a kissy smiley, but just realised they don't have them here.......

Sapphire_Flame 05-10-2003 11:08 AM

It's all good. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I'll mention you too, Lossie, for mentioning me, and being at Imladris too!

Niluial and Sophia- because I am realizing that when you guys aren't online, I check Who's Online with constantly shortening intervals in-between, and with constantly rising agitation.
I just found this Menelien [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img], thanks.

I'd like to also mention Trippo the Hippo, for being lively and original (if not canonical [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]), and

Alaklondewen for being sweet, chatting online, being inventive with pins, and having a cute kid.

Sophia

Lossentilien 05-10-2003 11:39 AM

Why ta Sapphire_Flame. I thought of someone I wanted to mention, but I'm feeling ill, and my mum's shouting (well, telling me loudly) to go to bed. But am refusing on grounds of all the new posts.
Who was I gonna mention.....?
Oooohh....feel faint..... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

EDIT: Why's my avatar not working?!

Yes, Trippo is quite... original [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Don't worry, I mean it as a good thing... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Well it says why doesn't it? If that is not the problem; some sites disable hotlinking. So you then can't use the pic as an avatar.

Bekah 05-10-2003 09:46 PM

Thanks Nurumaiel for a) thanking me in her acceptance speech and b) supporting me with my writing.

Of course this positive judgement of me is horribly wrong.

And to Nurunar for criticizing my story honestly.

How Ironic.

Where is that Diary of youres? In Bree? Could I have a link?

Lossentilien 05-12-2003 06:52 AM

The journal things are in Imladris. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I think a few people you know a few people have them. The link's in some sigs, but here it is anyway, Imladris homepage.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I know that, but I thought the number would be somewhat closer to 99... as most people here aren't rude or mean... much [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Amanaduial the archer 05-12-2003 01:48 PM

Yes, note the much. Still, they might be entirely different in real life. Who we project on the internet can be entirely different from our real selves. Its weird to think you could pass someone in the street who you spend hours with every evening, and never know. Mithadan could be a famous orator on law. Mattius could be the cute blonde guy whose bus stop I pass every day on the way to school. ElentariGreenleaf could be a girl I was fleetingly introduced to, but never really met.

Its weird, you know.

GaladrieloftheOlden 05-12-2003 02:11 PM

Yes, that idea always frieks me out. All of the time I was traveling through California I carried around a notebook that said “The BarrowDowns” on it in really big letters, in vain hopes that one of you would see me [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Dude, am I weird [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [
Quote:

Yes. Me for example. I am even more boring offline than online. And very... violent. Wouldn’t you say, kittiewhirl (if you read this)? I don’t care if you guys are different offline than online though, I’d still love to meet you. And recently I was walking down the street, and there was this view to the right. It was these really woods, except there was a really cool black convertible in front of them, with this teenage girl leaning out, and for some reason I had “Niluial!” flash through my head at that moment. Umm... yeah. NEED THERAPY! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Right. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] You also can't help being a good writer, with an interesting taste in character names (Potatothan?) I thought your story on FF.net was fantastic, BTW. Write another one. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer 05-13-2003 02:24 PM

Hmm...yeah, Galadriel, if you go to the Ten Signs Youre Addicted To The Barrowdowns thread, you will be the most addicted there! (Not that they thought hasnt crossed my mind...)

Carlas 05-13-2003 02:57 PM

The Barrow-wight- Though I dont know him personally, he has always had my greatest respect (for the most part) [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] for being able to create and run this place, and not go completely mad too! You might want to take a look at his latest topic! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Look Here!

kittiewhirl1677 05-13-2003 03:54 PM

Estelyn Telcontar- A great writer, and I love her name! It just fits together so well. It just does! It's so... togethery(you get my point)!!! Okay, I'm getting carried away here... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yes, very VERY violent... She runs on impulses only. Okay, well, almost only. I can barely stand her [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] so beware!

kittiewhirl, for ebing so, *ahem*, nice, in her description of me... but what can I say, it's acurate, at least [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

~Menelien

kittiewhirl1677 05-13-2003 07:48 PM

Lol, no, Menelien is fine. If you can get her away from the topic of the Downs for at least five minutes(highly improbable), she is actually fun. Not trying to say anything bad about LotR or that Downs, just trying to say that we always talk about it too much and that REALLY gets annoying sometimes...

GaladrieloftheOlden 05-13-2003 08:20 PM

MAYA! *blows up* Well... we talk about non-Downs things sometimes... *tries to remember the last time that happened*... well, there was that time about 3 weeks ago... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

No, I won't kill her, and I don't really have murderous thoughts.

I like all those lovely, awesome Christians on here for their wonderful faith in God.

~ Elentari II

[ May 20, 2003: Message edited by: Bekah ]

GaladrieloftheOlden 05-13-2003 08:28 PM

Not only Christians, but generally people on here, who, unlike me, are quite religious, because it adds a lot to many of their posts.

~Menelien

Bekah 05-13-2003 08:52 PM

*opens mouth to start a lecture, then closes it*

It won't be any use, will it? Everyone will start yelling at me again, won't they?

Read C.S.Lewis's Mere Christianity. Please? For me?

God's really awesome, you know.

~ Elentari II

GaladrieloftheOlden 05-13-2003 09:00 PM

By 'lecture', just wondering, did you mean on Christianity? And anyhow, I'm Jewish, but actually more or less atheist. I'll read it anyway, just out of interest. Back onto topic- Legolas for being a great mod when he only just started!

~Menelien

[ May 13, 2003: Message edited by: GaladrieloftheOlden ]

Bekah 05-13-2003 09:18 PM

Yes - I tend to do that. Lewis does it much better than me, though, and in a much friendlier way. And so he should be. 'Mere Christianity' is very interesting, though.

I like the fantastic writing skills of people like Aman and Nurumaiel, and Maikafanawen.

And I like all the other lovely RPGers out there, who create such marvellous tales.

ElentariGreenleaf 05-14-2003 01:23 PM

Shire mods - well, need I say? I'm sure you all agree that they're all so kind. Aman's doing a great job *sits in corner getting jelous*

Aman, still can't get it into my head you're younger than me.... ^_^;

Amanaduial the archer 05-14-2003 01:37 PM

Quote:

Aman, you are so dead...
What?! Why?! Thanks for the mention, but what did I say?

Heh heh...thanks Elentari. Keep repeating it "She is younger, she is younger..."

Maybe you might start believing it. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Lossentilien 05-14-2003 01:50 PM

I like how....even the death threats here somehow come off as friendly.......
And how people try so hard to follow the rules. (ok,so not all the time, but it's the trying.....ah. Fine, I give up) How the mods all put up with some of the rubbish that's been posted, I should know [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] , and still manage to keep the 'downs alive.

ElentariGreenleaf 05-14-2003 01:52 PM

Hmm... it's prob cause you were playing Hreeza in Cirith Ungol. I loved Hreeza! She was so cool.... I think you should BRING HER BACK!!! Maybe to the in on Imladris..

Oh, I forgot to add Bethberry to my last post ^_^ She was really kind when I started posting in the White Horse... ^_^ She encouraged me loads, just like the Shire mods do. My writing skills have improved so much because of them. I remember when I went to one of the inns and wrote about two lines. I find it hard to write that little now ^_-

Amanaduial the archer 05-14-2003 01:57 PM

Yes, Hreeza was pretty cool. Maybe I will bring her back...but then, Ive only ever brought back one character. I dont think Hreeza would live through another RPG.
