Gil-Galad is an interesting fellow. He posts very frequently, having averaged over three posts a day during his two and a half years on the Downs. He does prefer to respond to rather than start threads, although he has begun thirty or so of his own. Many of them can be found in the Quiz Room. His most popular include Of Gondorians and Rohirrim..., The Topic Game, and odd item out. His greatest was The Topic Game, which has garnered more than 1,000 responses.

His main haunting grounds are the Quiz Room and Middle-earth Mirth, although he does visit The Barrowdowns and Novices and Newcomers. He's even been seen in The Books and The Movies a few times. He has a good sense of humor, which he uses regularly, but his sort of funny often goes unappreciated.

He likes computer gaming and LotR and enjoys a tasty dwarf when he gets hungry, according to his Biography. I would also guess that he likes Star Wars from his jedi-ish e-mail address.

Gurthang. Well let's see. His name is Gurthang, & Gurthang means him. He has a habit of posting thought-provoking posts & threads in The Books especially; having earned the distinction of being the starter of such popular threads as The source of Dragons, The Gift of Speech, Elves and Ringwraiths, & Entwife Hide-and-Seek. His good sense of humor has gotten him the majority of his reps from Crazy Captions.

Speaking of reps, Gurthang has risen to eight boxes (three of them a shiny shade of green) & is welcome in Aragorn's Court despite only having time to make 340 posts (so far) since joining the downs in August of 2003.

He is a Christian, has graduated from that blasted institution that is high school & works as a slave laborer at a convenience store (correct me if I'm wrong).

The Only Real Estel likes collecting little green boxes, and enjoys basketball and football. He shares three of my interests: music, movies, and I believe Nintendo.

Nimmy is a fellow Utahan although she's from a small town. She works at a local drive in, which all small towns in Utah seem to have. She's probably the only person in her whole town that is fanatical about Tolkien. Traditionally people from small towns here know just about everybody in the town. But most importantly it seems that she enjoys playing video games.

Firefoot · 08-02-2005, 01:31 PM

Mormegil, commonly known as Morm, is a well-liked member who has earned quite the reputation for himself in just 3 1/2 months since he joined. He posts most frequently in the Palantir of Fortune, Crazy Captions, and Werewolf threads, though he also posts fairly often in other Mirth threads, the Quiz Room, and in the Barrow-Downs, as well as a few in N&N and the Books. His favorite character is Turin, though his favorite hobbit is decidedly Sam (not Bilbo, whom he calls "a senile old coot").

Morm dislikes incorrectness of speech (such as the use of double negatives), racism, black licorice, busy work, and British spellings.

He is in his upper 20's and has a wife and young daughter, both of whom are included in his picture on the picture page. He is quite tall, 6'5". He lives in Utah and apparently likes video games.

Despite having been named after a horse and displaying a horse avatar for quite a while, Firefoot is not actually a horse.

She is a centaur.

And don't let her name fool you. Her feet are not on fire. The "foot" part of her name represents her great speed (she once ran in the Kentucky Derby), and "Fire" represents her extreme hotness.

She posts a lot- 7.35 posts a day as of right now. That's a bit much if you ask me, but everyone has a fault or two.

Well...except

...

Firefoot enjoys playing in games of Werewolf here on the Downs, though not so much now that I am not playing. She is extremely excited about my return.

She is also extremely thoughtful- she sent me a lovely pm on my birthday (which some of you forgot to do!).

Overall, Firefoot is a top notch young lady.

...err...young centauress...I guess...
