Hooky...Now you can just put "Formendacil" as the slogan, and everyone will know what you're talking about. And at least Formy will think it's hilarious.



And congratulations to all the new Personally Titled! May you have many happy days thinking about them. :D

Firefoot 08-20-2006 09:28 PM

Congrats to all of you newly-titled. You're certainly all deserving. :)

Brinniel 08-21-2006 01:14 AM

It may have been years ago, I can still remember what it was like to get my own PT.

It feels special to finally be chosen. (Please tell me I wasn't the only one jumping up and down and screaming for joy :rolleyes: )

Congrats everyone. I'm enjoying reading all these new titles. :)

wilwarin538 08-21-2006 07:05 AM

No Brinniel, you were not the only one. ;)

Congratulations to all those who received their PT! :D

Lhunardawen 08-22-2006 02:54 AM

Hahaha! Beautiful, Celuien. :)

Mithalwen 08-22-2006 06:24 AM

Of course you can never abandon your froggie avatar now :D Congratulations.

Is Meela's new or just something we have all known for a long time?

Really can't wait to see what Ang has chosen - I can't imagine he hasn't been included in this batch.... of course to a Fenris Wolf such as myself he is THE Fenris Wolf - eldest of our order..... ;)

Feanor of the Peredhil 08-22-2006 07:24 AM

It is true... the first... the very first...I love Formy's. It makes me smile every time I see it.

My delusions became a happy reality only recently.

Celuien 08-22-2006 08:57 AM

Thanks, Mith and Lhuna. :) Credit must also go to Elempi, who played a crucial role in convincing me to follow my amphibious tendencies.

Mithalwen 08-22-2006 02:32 PM

Put with Fordims and you nearly have a tongue twister ...Gibbering Gibbit and Riveting Ribbiter........ splendid!!!

Kath 08-23-2006 07:16 PM

Well done guys, I love all of them! Form especially suits his though :D

Oddwen 08-23-2006 07:49 PM

My eight favorite personal titles -


  • The Barrow-Wight's "Night in Wight Satin". He changed this about the time I was listening to that song nonstop.
  • Hookbill the Goomba's "Alive without breath". It's so obviously Tolkien, you might not think of that as LotR yet when you see it, it's so obviously LotR and Barrow-downish as well.
  • Hilde Bracegirdle's "Relic of Wandering Days". It bespeaks of depth and history, very like LotR I think.
  • A tie between Dancing Spawn's "Mischevious Candle" Kalimac's "Candle of the Marshes", and Symestreem's "Face in the Water", because "The Dead Marshes" is one of the awesomest chapters in LotR.
  • Lalwendë's "A Mere Boggart". It's cool.
  • Almost forgot Kitanna's "Child of the West". Reminds me of Thorin's deathbed speech, when he called Bilbo "Child of the kindly West".

You might also appreciate Kalimac's "Candle of the Marshes." One of my favorites. Alas, it's been far too long since Kalimac graced this board.

I love all the new PTs, but my favorite of the bunch has to be Meela's. No one else could have that PT. ;)

Rune Son of Bjarne 08-24-2006 09:52 AM

"Bringer of the Red Dawn" will always be my favourit PT. . . . I am so jealuse !

Feanor of the Peredhil 08-24-2006 12:22 PM

*blushes*

If our beloved Barrow-Wight would see the deletion of my personal title as a possibility, I'd have nothing against you taking it in my stead some day. I've developed somewhat of a distaste for labelling myself. 'Untitled' seems the best title I can think of anymore.

Fea if you ever take down your PT then I will be very put out. -_-

Feanor of the Peredhil 08-24-2006 01:23 PM

Why?

The Only Real Estel 08-24-2006 01:41 PM

Because it is one of my all-time faves.

Not that I have anything against Rune :D, but it just wouldn't be the same if it belonged to someone else. :/

Rune Son of Bjarne 08-24-2006 01:46 PM

heheh although I would love for it to be my PT, I think it is kind of weird to take over another persons PT. . .

Brinniel 08-28-2006 07:59 PM

To help those to choose a favorite title, I've created a list of all members with PTs. This way, everyone can see different members' titles, even those who have long since disappeared. So many of these titles are creative and wonderful and it's nice to be able to see them all. :)

Thinlómien 08-29-2006 07:11 AM

How long has alatar had his title? I noticed it only a while ago. Anyway, I like it. oubting dwimmerlaik; describes him pretty well... ;) :)

Hookbill the Goomba 08-29-2006 07:30 AM

I must say I am a fan of LePetitChoux's title...

Shady she-penguin. Hm. Makes me think of Eminem... :D
No offense to you, Thinlomien!!! :)

:D Very strange, I was thinking here and I thought that it has no relation at all with Eminem! Or does the word "shady" nowadays refer to a rapper?

No offense to you, ninja, just funny :)

Kath 08-29-2006 09:52 AM

Haha! Nice coincidence ninja, as I read through this list this morning I thought the same thing. :D

I can't see Lommy as a rapper though.

Anguirel 08-29-2006 09:56 AM

Hee hee...watch this space...

piosenniel 08-29-2006 10:31 AM

Very nice, alatar! ;)

The Only Real Estel 08-29-2006 10:34 AM

While looking over Brin's nice list there I'm reminded of how much I like Mister Underhill's "Dread Horseman."

Thanks. Couldn't think of anything that worked well with quantum or skeptic.

Folwren 08-29-2006 11:18 AM

How does one get around to choosing a personal title? I can't decide on one!

-- Folwren

Glirdan 08-29-2006 11:20 AM

It's long, tedious and stressful. But it's fun!! :D

Valier 08-29-2006 11:30 AM

Yay Lommy!!!! I was wondering if you would use something Penguinesque....and You did not disappoint!! :D

Well in Noldorian terms choosing a PT is Essecilme and if you can not decide I would sugest waiting since it is unchangeable. You will surely know the right one when it occurs (lámatyáve) - yep I have been reading Morgoth's ring again... ;) .


For myself, when I daydreamed of what I would choose, I knew I wanted a quotation since I was a literature student and my screen name does not lend itself to some of the superb puns that some people have and I did not have the wit to think of someof the ones that reference Tolkien like "Drummer in the Deep" or "Alive without breath" which is just so perfect for a wight!!! I did want a supernatural element too so I ended up with short list of 3 one of which was taken (and it is much more appropriate for it's holder). So it was either Pilgrim Soul or Bewildering Ghost. The latter more accurate, the former more aspirational. I could almost translate Pilgrim soul into Elvish but didn't incase it wasn't an accurate translation. Pretentious and ungrammatical is a bad combination..... I try to limit myself to one or the other at any given time..... ;)

So basically, try to find something that means something to you, or amuses you and which you live with for the rest of your death (in a manner of speaking).

Folwren 08-29-2006 12:19 PM

Thanks for your help, Mith.

Would it be illegal for me to ask here what people thought of a few titles I was considering?

-- Folwren

Valier 08-29-2006 12:21 PM

I would love to hear what you have so far Folwren! :D

Glirdan 08-29-2006 12:21 PM

Well, it's not suggested to that here cuz this is the aprreciation of the alreday chosen one's, but I don't care. :p It really should be in the Your personal title! therad, but who am I to tell you what to do. :p

Folwren 08-29-2006 02:00 PM

Ah. I should go find that said Personal Title thread and do it there. I just didn't know where I could get some help. I'm occasionally bad at making decisions like this.

Thanks, Glirdan.

Folwren 08-29-2006 03:00 PM

Oh, oh, oh! I would ask everyone to please not suggest any more titles for me - please! But, Gil, I have to thank you for inspiring something beautiful. I've thought of something that I shall turn over in my head as carefully as the first two I had already thought of.
