I seem to recall that one being owned by Lush...

GaladrieloftheOlden 11-26-2003 04:19 PM

Yep. Your go.

Salix 11-27-2003 01:03 PM

No clue whether this one is in the quote graveyard, I just know that the person no longer has the sig.

In between the moon and you, the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

That's Elennar Starfire, isn't it? They're song lyrics...

Salix 11-27-2003 03:52 PM

I didn't know they were song lyrics...
Anyway you're right.

Could it be Susan Delgado's? Haven't seen her around in a while...

Indeed, I figured it would count as an old signature - I haven't seen her in ages really...

Yours turn, of Harmony of Unhappiness [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nibinlondwen 11-28-2003 12:51 PM

what are you talking about and why?

Amanaduial the archer 11-28-2003 01:00 PM

The thread is about old signatures Barrowdowners have had, and the point of the game is guess/remember who had the signature which the asker puts forward. That is the point: read the first post in the thread, it helps. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hmmm, I was trying to find one that would be very difficult to figure out. Alas, I'm certain that it won't be too hard... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Aethelwine 12-01-2003 08:48 AM

Well, that [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]-smiley makes me think it's an old siggie of yourself, Aylwen!

So here's my guess: is it yours?

Bye!

Aethelwine.

Aylwen Dreamsong 12-01-2003 03:12 PM

Sorry, Aethelwine, it was not mine. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Perhaps a hint? The person did put their siggy in the graveyard. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer 12-02-2003 12:51 PM

Mark 12_30?

I like your new one actually, Aylwen - lovely...

Aylwen Dreamsong 12-02-2003 06:32 PM

Thank you, great shade of luminescence (synonyms for starlight are hard to find! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) and yes, it was mark12_30's sig a long time ago.

Please proceed!

-Aylwen

Amanaduial the archer 12-03-2003 04:24 PM

Oh I rather like that, Aylwen... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I shouldn't think this one should be too hard, and it is still in use, but I do love this signature, so here you go...

Aethelwine 12-05-2003 10:41 AM

Amanaduial, isn't that Mariska Greenleaf's? I'm sure it is!

Bye,

Aethelwine.

Amanaduial the archer 12-05-2003 12:04 PM

Correct indeed, Aethelwine. Your turn, your wightiness!

Aethelwine 12-05-2003 03:10 PM

I'm yours to command, most Honorabele Shadow of Starlight!

Quote:

I live for scraps.
Hint: it's a quote, not a siggie.

Have fun!

Aethelwine.

Amanaduial the archer 12-05-2003 03:18 PM

Gah! I've seen that I'm certain... is that Diamond18?

Aethelwine 12-05-2003 03:26 PM

No, I'm afraid that is not right, hiril nīn. Good guess though! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Have fun searching!

Aethelwine.

Liriodendron! In the 'Is there honestly much left' thread in the Barrowdowns section.

(EDIT: Hiril nin?)

Aethelwine 12-05-2003 03:39 PM

Wow, that was quick!!! Have to search harder next time...

The room/field/floor or whatever is all yours, my lady! Go right ahead!

Navaer,
Aethelwine.

EDIT: Hiril nīn --> my lady in Sindarin! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer 12-05-2003 03:44 PM

Lovely..thankyou Aethelwine [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ok, lets have another quote, why not...
Quote:

I cannot bear the sight of him, or of any man
[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Aylwen Dreamsong 12-05-2003 03:55 PM

Oh, Aman, I'm almost positive that's from Brotherhood....only I can't find the quote...I'm assuming it's Melost though, after the betrayal. Is that enough? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

-Aylwen

Amanaduial the archer 12-05-2003 04:01 PM

Specially for you Dorl- Aylwen. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Technically, yes, Melost said it...but who was the Downer?

Aylwen Dreamsong 12-05-2003 07:06 PM

Hmm, it was before the betrayal, at any rate. I went through to find it and the Downer to post the quote was Cuthalion, and it was when Thelian and Dorlas were getting drunk. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I knew the quote was familiar.... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

-Aylwen

Amanaduial the archer 12-06-2003 09:24 AM

Yep, specially for you, m'dear - it appeared in the post after as well. Oh, whose post would that be... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Your turn, O Air of Agony [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Aylwen Dreamsong 12-08-2003 04:30 PM

Why thank you, uhh, Spirit of the Night Sky(?)

Anyway, sorry I took so long. This is a quote, and I just saw it so it's not buried anywhere too tough. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Quote:

Well, physically I'm 18, but spiritually I'm about twelve.
Hmmm...

-Aylwen

Amanaduial the archer 12-09-2003 01:41 PM

Now I know I guessed this before and it was wrong, and I know she is now older, but really, I'm not just using this as a backup: is it Diamond18?

The Saucepan Man 12-09-2003 06:04 PM

It's Oddwen.

Aylwen Dreamsong 12-10-2003 04:45 PM

Your go, Saucepan Man! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

-Aylwen

The Saucepan Man 12-10-2003 05:26 PM

Thank you Aylwen. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Now, which forthright frequenter of the forums described his or her discussion style thus:

Quote:

In Sumo wrestling, the object is merely to shove your opponent out of the combat circle, whereas I prefer to crush opponents flat with a flying leap off the top rope. Someday I hope to actually accomplish the discussion-forum equivalent of this feat.
And I don't doubt it, either! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Finwe 12-10-2003 10:29 PM

Guinevere?

The Saucepan Man 12-11-2003 08:06 PM

Hmm, Guinevere may take no prisoners when it comes to Quotes games, but I don't think that's her style on the discussion boards. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

No, it wasn't Guinevere.

Estelyn Telcontar 12-11-2003 11:25 PM

Now that's a quote I recognize - all the more humorous because it was said by one of the nicest, most intelligent, and funniest members there is, Mister Underhill!

The Saucepan Man 12-12-2003 07:21 PM

Quote:

Indeed. But he's a terrier when it comes to Tolkien discussions. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

You are right of course, Esty. Underhillo it was. The next quote is yours. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Anything but Arwen 12-28-2003 04:37 AM

As theres no reply, and I just found this great quote, I'll post...
Quote:

Its a nasty habit of spiders that they tend to eat their husbands, create hundreds of offspring and have far too many legs for their own good.
Its not a siggy, its a quote from a post...

Evisse the Blue 12-28-2003 06:19 AM

This sounds so familiar but I just can't place it... it's from a recent topic from books forum. Could it be the Saucepan Man's?
