Know yer mates
 
Lhunardawen's birthday is in january, and she frequents the Mirth forum :)

Gil-Galad 10-03-2004 10:50 AM

Though not as well known on the Downs (at least to me) with a 0.46 posting and this informative bio

The undisputed queen of the quotations (see website, for those of you who happen to understand Norwegian), also my class's nerd number one. likes memorizing useless information and beating my mates at quizzes. supposedly, my sense of humour is wierd

Eomer of the Rohirrim 10-03-2004 12:30 PM

Gil-galad is a zany member of the Downs. Don't believe me? Then just investigate his unhealthy (as I deem it) fascination with that certain Dragon (and no, it's not Glaurung). For a fairly new member on the site his post count is extremely fertile (is that the right word?), yet he is no stranger to mischief. He once incurred the wrath of the Wight by posting that rather bizarre challenge to Morsul the Dark once upon a time. O mighty Elf! What were you thinking? ;)

Yet he is clever. And he also considers himself worthy of screaming hordes of fangirls for some reason. Yet there is perhaps room for only one poster-boy on the Downs. Is Gil-galad that boy?

Elennar Starfire 10-03-2004 07:24 PM

Eomer lives in Scotland, has worn a kilt, and is probably the most-stalked 'Downer ever. (Unless Orlando Bloom is here and we don't know it ;) )

Oddwen 10-04-2004 06:09 PM

Elennar is one of the only two active people at my forum. (Cough, active, cough cough)

Elennar Starfire 10-05-2004 08:02 PM

Uhm...I'm not on your forum...Ye must be getting me confused with someone else.

Do Oddwen next!

Oddwen 10-06-2004 06:06 AM

Oh dear...
 
...I must not be spending enough time on the BD's. I don't know my mates... ****blushes****

Pardon me, Elennar. *smacks head on desk*

Correction:

Elennar loves my little avvies, and even had "hula hoop" for a while.

Man, this is embarassing...

Nilpaurion Felagund 10-06-2004 10:06 PM

Hi, Ms. Floddball!
 
Her real name is Alice, and she is one of the funniest people on the Downs. If I say one more thing, she might suspect I'm stalking her.

Ummm . . . you just said it in public.

Oh. My bad.

Eomer otR, you really shouldn't say things like that to him. His ego grows quite exponentially when he hears compliments like that.

Hush, Adam! He said "off-the-wall."

:rolleyes: Whatever . . .

HerenIstarion 11-01-2004 03:42 AM

its been dormant
 
So, NF, we meet again :)

It'd be a short one, as I'm running short of data - what haven't been said about you before?

Well, it was said but I'm as good as reminding you, that NF's real name is Louis Ortal, though he frequently names himself Adam. Work it out for yourself, I failed to see the grounds for such a shift ;)

Besides, he likes to joke about things he holds the most dear and most important, and in this respect he is more alike to hobbits than elves, sonship of one of whom he claims, as is observed by the choice of his screenname

He's already turned 18, if my poor math abilities do not mislead me in adding up 14 and 4 and getting a result. Recently, he made a quick decision to redesign his webpage and now probably regrets it a bit, as he lacks time to do it properly due to study and other affairs IRL

Lhunardawen 11-01-2004 03:52 AM

Indeed, it has
 
I should have known you would be the one resuscitating the thread. :)

Anyways, Adam is my brother's alter-ego.

To get back on-topic...I don't think there's any more I can say...hmm...HerenIstarion has not been around too much lately (as I have). I wonder why? He's busy, he says.

Oh, and he is the top rep giver in the forum! Talk about generous, considering how much points he can give... :)

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-02-2004 09:14 AM

Lhuna is a high school senior with some issues pertaining to her vision. She enjoys mental exercise, as deftly illustrated my her interests, which include thinking until she is confused, reading, writing, and having an all out good time. Lhuna is some 2 years younger than me, which rather confuses me, as I am one of the "youngins" in my own senior class, having started school just weeks after I hit age 5. Kudos to either the brains involved, or the differences that locations bring. ;) She is a far more active member than I on the Chapter-by-Chapter project, which I regret, but due to time constraints, it's just not possible to do more than skim it occasionally.

Fea

Imladris 11-02-2004 05:47 PM

I believe Feanor's avvie is silmaril.

I also believe that her favourite character is Feanor

And her real name is Laura.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 11-03-2004 03:24 PM

Imladris is an upstart, a trouble-maker, and is also very clever. She finds time to hunt down disturbing avatars (or is that just me?) and is also one of the Downers most confused by others of being of the opposite gender (possibly because Elrond was Lord of Imladris?).

She also apparently has a substantial interest in the Sea. :)

Carnimírië 11-03-2004 04:41 PM

Eomer of the Rohirrim is interested in the study of Wargs, asserts that the time spent brushing your teeth is a good time for deep thought, and is a very stalked Barrow Downer. And he lives in Scotland.

The Saucepan Man 11-03-2004 05:52 PM

Carnimírië
 
Carnimírië has been a member of the forum for nearly 5 months. She will be 15 in 19 days time and will apparently be celebrating her birthday on the heights of Dorthonion. :eek:

She rides occasionally and like to browse the forum, where she has become a very adept player in the Quotable Quotes room. :)

(I'm assuming that she's a she from the nick.)

Lindolirian 11-03-2004 06:17 PM

The Saucepan Man, otherwise known as our renowned clatter-er, is a swell fellow from England where he enjoys reading, playing with his two younger Saucepans (yes, I've seen your picture with them ;) ). He is an incredible quizzer, not to mention very knowledgeable of random facts outside Middle Earth as well. He's one of the best leaders I've ever seen and moderates his forums like, well, a saucepan :) ...PanMan's also an incredible writer and probably owes it to the fact (like many of us) that he's very well read, especially of our dear old Professor.

InklingElf 11-03-2004 06:30 PM

Lindolirian
 
Lindolirian's occupation involves "Quizzering" -- I like that word and was born in April.

Nilpaurion Felagund 11-15-2004 11:11 PM

InklingElf
 
So, we meet again. :)

She maintains this journal and does something called extreme potato counting. She claims to have mastered the Complex Philosophy of Procrastination. Ms. InklingElf has roots in Baguio, a cold, cold place (relative to the Tropics) in the Philippines, though she currently makes abode in San Fransisco, CA.

Amanaduial the archer 11-16-2004 12:15 PM

Nilpaurion Felagund, although he hasn't just copied her sig forever, has certainly maintained his current avatar for somewhere near forever! He once played a character in the Green Dragon Inn for quite some time about four months back - a sketch artist who drew with charcoal.

Ok, I have nothing...most of the facts about you are already here!

the phantom 11-16-2004 02:36 PM

Aman has more time than I do (that's why you've never seen me at the Green Dragon Inn), she earned some points from Fea for recognizing a Gary Jules song ("Ghosts", I believe), and she has an orange aura.

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-16-2004 06:33 PM

Oh dear... this is too fun.

The phantom has an exceptional fondness for a local burger joint. He assures me that we New Yorker's are missing out for lack of it. He is a sports enthusiast who keeps fit and trim by playing more of them than I ever had any inclination to do. His hometown of Omaha, Nebraska boasts a fine history of quickly picking up on the latest fashion trends.

Fea

the phantom 11-16-2004 09:11 PM

I know I should wait my turn but this is just way too easy.... :p

Fea hates running "with a passion", but likes rollerblading.
She likes the Detroit Redwings and geology (and her brothers, but she wouldn't be caught dead actually saying it).
She's a horrid guitar player.
She wants to ride through the desert on a horse with no name before she dies.
She wears watermelon lip gloss.
She ate meatballs, stubbed her toe, and wore expensive black pants today.

The Only Real Estel 11-18-2004 04:59 PM

the phantom: A Nebraskan (Omaha to be exact) who idolizes Tom Osbourne, but would always stop to help a Kansan like me change a flat tire...unless he had a game to catch. None of us can deny that he actually looks like his avatar, & I believe he must be the 'man in black' that vandilized the football stadium in Manhattan :p.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 11-19-2004 09:46 AM

Estel is a young man who lives in America (not too vague I hope?). He is highly entertained by sports (reminds me of myself when I was his age) and seems to be a healthy, chirpy kinda guy. There is one famous point of contention among Estel enthusiasts however, namely his appearance. He is surely an enigma, a mystery, almost ghost-like (well, at least for the people who don't want to hunt down a pic!) and is notoriously cryptic when responding to the guesses as to his style and pinache (is that a word? it is now).

Currently I am working on the theory that he has a wooden leg (gauged from several clues on other threads). He will deny this but we should not take this too seriously because the other important thing about Estel is that he is a compulsive liar. ;)

A little something of both, I guess. ;)

Ditto.

Anyways...
Eomer of the Rohirrim is something like the Lush of the male gender. He has an inclination towards wargs and wargriders, and makes everyone wonder what sort of magic he performs. Now that he has changed his siggie, maybe not anymore. (Thank goodness! :) )

Nimrodel_9 01-06-2005 05:11 PM

I`m not very good at this, but I want to try anyway. :)

Lhunardawen is a senior in high school in...the U.S.? She was born on January 4, 1989. She enjoys biology is a christian, and often has something interesting to say.

Darn. I can`t think of anything else. (By the way, happy birthday a couple days ago, Lhunardawen!)
Nim ;)

Durelin 01-06-2005 09:50 PM

Nimrodel_9 is still doing the wave for Boromir the Disco King, plays one of the same instruments I do, and is very kind to fire trucks. :D

Nilpaurion Felagund 01-06-2005 10:48 PM

Durelin.
 
She was born July 14, 1989, which makes her 15 years old. Her real name is Rachel Smith, and she lives in the United States. She loves RPing--in the Downs--well, mostly in the Downs--I assume.

~*~

Nim: My dear sister Lhunardawen lives in the Philippines, an unnoticed archipelago south of Taiwan.

She should. She's your sister.

Oh, and Ms. Aman:

I haven't played a sketch artist, but I have played a wandering tale-collector.

I stand corrected. *bows*

Nilp, I never would have guessed Lhunardawen to be your sister. Learn somethin knew everyday. :)

Gil-Galad 01-11-2005 07:45 PM

Nimrodel9, or Nimmy, is a very intriguing little damsel indeed, has a strange occurance of calling me sugar... not thats i'm complaining :smokin:

Encaitare 01-11-2005 09:18 PM

Gil-Galad is the Pun Master. Challenge him not, or you shall find yourself up to the neck in puns while he cackles and burninates you. He appears to be a Python fan, and is 15 years old. He also enjoys confusing the poor unsuspecting newbies in the introduction thread. ;)

the phantom 01-11-2005 09:29 PM

Caity doesn't like one of the loves of my life- seafood.
She's from a state I've never been to.
She found her long lost sis here on the Downs.
She might be a blonde because I know she doesn't like blonde jokes.
She's musical and dorky- two staples of all smart, interesting people.

Feanor of the Peredhil 01-12-2005 10:23 AM

It is not unknown of the phantom to do silly things like peg people with snowballs. He uses his phantom mask to cover up (as he says) extreme hotness, and is quite clever, having understood that Trans Am translated to Firebird.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 01-13-2005 12:01 AM

Feanor is an excellent quizzer, RPs in Rohan at the White Horse, and either lives in Indiana, fancies an Indiana based sports team, or loves Indiana Jones (her sn involves Indiana at least), which as I live there myself I find intriguing. ;)

Sophia

Legolas 01-13-2005 12:32 AM

Sophia the Thunder Mistress has good taste in poetry and music, and is altogether absent from our site too often. She's been away since March!

Welcome back. :cool:

Whoops! That`s only 6 posts in between. Skip over me! :rolleyes:

elronds_daughter 01-14-2005 11:31 AM

<skips over Nimmy>
 
With a birthday ten days before Bilbo's and Frodo's and a post-per-day average of 1.34, Legolas is quite a main-stay on this site.

Lhunardawen 01-14-2005 10:15 PM

elronds_daughter is insane. (We're kindred spirits, then! :D ) She used to be - or maybe is until now - a CIA agent...and now she has to kill me. She has Arwen for a sister and I'm always wondering how she deals with it.

She decided to be dead May 4 of last year, and will be turning a thousand years old on December 9. :D

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 01-28-2005 01:01 AM

Lhunardawen apparently enjoys the GooGoo Dolls, judging by her location. She also has a birthday just nine days before my own (Jan. 4, Jan. 13), since having it pointed out that she was a non-thread-starter the lovely lady Lhun has started three threads, two in the Books and one in the Movies. Judging by this fact, it seems she may be easily guilt tripped by HI ;).

HerenIstarion 01-28-2005 01:38 AM

I see the thread is going strong again :)
 
This is Sophia the Thunder Mistress' second visit to this here thread

Her real name is Sara, she has just turned 22, and she's back to the Downs after quite a long break (And she was missed!). Sara stands for princess, whilst Sophia may be translated as wise one. And wisdom-lover she truly is, for she was away and busy with her education - that is, philosophy (love of wisdom).

While studying, she probably listened to Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad and the like, for she defines her preferences in music as 'classic rock'

I can not state it ias fact, but, I believe, her view is that humanity is already past the summit of its cultural development, and now moves downward. Whether there is a chance of reversing the process, remains to be seen yet.

Else, she contributed (several times too!) to the development of the BD fora from her own pocket and now has the honorific of Protector of Cardolan. In the thread of fame for Barrow Benefactors however, esteemed BW omitted starting capital S for her name, so she's ophia the Thunder Mistress there ;).

She likes shopping, but dreads the process as well - for she's a sure 'big spender' - going out with the purpose of purchasing one concrete item, she's likely to come home with some other things she never intended to buy at all from the start, but which took her fancy in the process :D

I will stand corrected for any blunders and mistakes :)

cheers
