We'll just have to catch him off guard.

You know you're terribly addicted if you toy with the idea of forming an elaborate plan to get Anguirel to put a smilie on a post of his. *evil smilie*

Lhuna, if you need help with your plan, you have my sword.

We'll see how it fits. ;)

You know you're addicted to the Barrow Downs when you find yourself attaching THIS to your collage / school / work place notice board. Or something like that.

OR

You nearly fall off your chair when you see that The Saucepan Man has overtaken Lalwendë as the top reputation person! :eek:

No! It cannot be! Nothing makes sense anymore in this world. :eek:

So that's why she's posting in the books right at the moment trying to be intelligent! :eek: ;)

Oh sorrow for the once invincible Lalwendavem...

Look what you and your lycanthropy have done, Wolfman Sauce. For shame! :p

But if you add Lal's and davem's reputations, they surely ARE invincible...

Not quite sure how to take that ... ;)

Actually, I feel rather a fraud as my reputation has been fattened on naught but a diet of Werewolf, Crazy Captions, Survivor and a certain parody RPG. Not one Tolkien-based discussion related rep in sight (probably because I have not engaged seriously in any Tolkien-based discussion for a while). :rolleyes:

But just imagine how invincible Lalwendë would be if she also played Werewolf ... :eek:

And, to bring this back on topic, you know you're addicted to the Downs when you spend precious hours not just strategising about and playing Werewolf, but also posting a thread with a lengthy analysis of each game.

As Mith said, borderline Aspergis ...

Don't say that, SpW...you'll be dragging in a lot of us as well! :o

I think THIS is a sign that I'm obsessed! :D

Spending half an hour trawling through the member's list in order to find an answer, and making a list of those PT's that caught your eye as you went so you could use them as MSN names later.

One of your motives for learning Latin is that everybody on the Downs does, and you want to fit in and understand them.

Every self-respecting Tolkien fan should be able to say odi et arceo profanum vulgum...

When you think peace has been restored, when Lalwende has reclaimed her place at the top of the reputation list.

Eh, they're overrated. From one Mirth/Roleplaying addict to another, never be ashamed of rep points gained from being creative rather than canonical. ;)

Yes... yes it is. It's quite lovely, though. I had just noticed today how gigantic the Crazy Captions thread is, and my eyes popped out. Like this: :eek:

As for my own contribution... I know I'm obsessed when I leave for months only to be drawn back in by the insidious charms of the black and green... even though green text on black background gives me headaches. :rolleyes:

GREEN? It's light blue, or turqoise, but not GREEN! :eek:

Green like grass, Lommy...sorry.

You know you're addicted to the barrowdowns when you find yourself referring to RL things that happened toNight and realize no one else understands the concept of 24 hour days, rather than 12.

No! You're colorblind! Look at your reputation boxes. They are green. The text is light blueish(?) turqoise.

I forget you're European...

Find a picture of Kentucky bluegrass...

The text has more blue in it than the lime green boxes, I would never call it a jewel tone, but I think it's green. Maybe I'm crazy...

I'm probably crazy but I live in a democracy...majority rules, and it's green. ;)

Lime green! No way!

The first picture is lime green. The secong picture is green. The ball at the beginning of this post is green.

This is the exact color of the text on the forum. It looks greener when it isn't surrounded by all the black, gold, and grass-green of everything else.

You know you're obsessed when you argue about the exact shade of the text, and provide samples.....

:D

Jenny's right though (like me :p), it's green, though kind of a turqoise green rather than a straight green. The rep boxes and the ball icon are different shades of green. But still, if you ask the Barrow-Wight, the color scheem is green/gold/black. G'ahead, PM him. :p

I was listening to a song called Core N'Gato (Cor-ay nin gato) and every time they sang the chorus I thought they were saying Tol-in, Tol-in Gaurhoth. :rolleyes:

You know you're obsessed when:

- The Barrow Downs is your home page.

- When you tell your teacher at school / college (Or boss at work) that you think s/he should be lynched.

- You spend a long time making a collage of as many crazy captions pictures as you can be bothered getting hold of.

Okay, I agree it's not light blue, but it's clearly turqoise, not green. Whatever even the BW says. Unluckily, all sensible persons who can tell turqoise from green happen to be somewhere else so your democracy, Jenny, really isn't democracy.

Hey, Hookbill, you visit this thread quite often! What do you (or anyone else) think about the colour?

Actually, this is the color of turquoise...

See how blue? The site is definitely green.

EDIT: And that's the definition of democracy. Majority among whoever votes rules, regardless of how many people don't vote. An abstention (not voting) is counted as a vote for the majority side. Robert's Rules.

I think its irrelevant. :p

A sign that you’re addicted to the Downs...

You are happy when you’re sick because you go green and look Wightish! :D

They're nearly the same color! (The text and the gemstone.)

I think this is a sign of being badly addicted: you debate with a person you don't really actually even know about the text color of the forum.

And Hookbill, I hope you get better, though you will lose your wightish color... :)

Thin: No it isn't...
 

;) :rolleyes:

Try thinning food dye with water, Hookbill. With a large paint brush you could easily maintain your Wightish shade.

I've started to see the text as greenish turqoise, and that's entirely your fault! :eek:

What if most of probable voters don't even know about the "election"?

I've had a cold all week and it got a bit worse today so I came home from College. :(
I used to be all pale, (more than usual) but the green Wight colour is cool! :D

Lets crawl back on topic, shall we?

That's not surely off-topic, is it?

Crawls painfully from happy place...
 

Oh fine. (But it's still green. :P)

You know you're addicted to the barrow downs when you compulsively hit refresh and you're not even playing werewolf...

Hahahahahaha! *oh dear* I've been doing that, too.

You know you're addicted when you come home from a long day at school and rather than doing the coursework you swore you'd do in return for a lesson off, you come on here and spend the next hour refreshing the page to keep up with a werewolf game you're not even in anymore!


And to drag this ever so slightly back off topic, I always thought the text was green, but that may have been due to popular opinion!

Ummm . . .
 

How about 'Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to a Barrowdowner'? ;)

Oh, brother . . .

You spot Downer lookalikes on your way to school. I regularly see my Eomer and Orominuialwen lookalikes.

You have a panic attack when some technical glitch means you can see the Downs but not post or read PMs. It happened this lunchtime but I don't know if the problem was with the computer I was using or the site. My hotmail inbox disappeared too..

This actualy happened!!!
 

When you are walking around town and see someone in a large Snoopy costume and cry out (a little too loudly) "Its Eomer of the Rohirrim!"
I then had to explain to a friend of mine what I meant. :o
