Oh well I only joined a little over a year ago. . .but your avy + name looks familar.

Anyways it is always nice to see people return to BD, I hope you will find that everything is as good as it was.

Merrivere · 11-21-2006, 10:25 PM

Hey guys, my name is Merrivere, or Merri if you like. That's what my friends call me at least. I haven't been on the Downs for years now...I used to go on back when the movies were coming out as Daewen, so if anyone remembers me back then (which I doubt you do, but you never know) I'm back. You never can shake the addiction of LotR.

Mae Govannen and welcome I don't know who you were, so I I'll just have to settle for who you are now. So Hi!

Merrivere · 11-21-2006, 10:33 PM

Thanks Beleg. I missed going on here. I hope I'll be able to make friends and feel welcome just like I used to. A lot has changed in my life, and I'm ready to go back to where I left off and pick up the pieces. I guess that all starts with the thing that used to be my top priority

Welcome!! Even though I don't think I had joined this site when you were active before, I can guarantee you that we are just as friendly... no, wait, even friendlier than before.
Just to show you how friendly I am, and since you seem to be from Winsconsin (where if my football geography is not incorrect you can find Green Bay and the Packers) I am inviting myself over to your place so that I can see Brett Farve play before he retires.

No?

Well, welcome to the 'downs anyway. There is no better cure for whatever wrongs the "real" world has sent your way than a good, fun time spent in the Mirth section!

*smiles* Nothing changes, especially the kindness of fellow Ring fans. Thanks for the warm welcome Farael...and hey, if you really wanted to watch Favre loose another game for the Packers with me, that's a-okay. You're right though, we've got the Packers. Sadly I'm a loyal fan to the home team...no matter how badly we loose :-\

Thinlómien · 11-22-2006, 01:57 AM

A warm welcome to you Merrivere! I hope you like your second death even more than the first one.

11-29-2006, 05:14 PM

nevertheless, Rune son of Bjarne, I plan to dwell among you however long I live, or die, whichever you wish

Thanks for the welcome all

Tar-Telperien · 11-29-2006, 10:57 PM

Hello. I'm new here but have been part of the Tolkien community for several years. I was a member of the TORn message boards; I joined there in 2003 but have not posted much in a long time. This place seems more active, and the forum layout is far better.

I chose this name because my main interest in Tolkien's work lies with the isle of Númenor and its history. Tar-Telperien (or Tar-Telperiën, either spelling is valid) was the tenth Ruler of Númenor. I have used this nickname in several Tolkien-related areas I frequent, such as TORn and the Tolkien Gateway wiki.

I will probably mainly post in the Books forum, since I have quite a bit of knowledge about the Legendarium and greatly like to discuss its fine points with others. The movies are quite good, but I pay them less attention. I actually do have a sense of humor, though, so you might see me in the Middle-earth Mirth section as well. I find RPing rather fun, but I am not interested in roleplaying in any other area than Númenor, so I will probably not show up there.

Of the books, The Silmarillion is my favorite, because it contains so many powerful and tragic parts. I am partial to The Hobbit, and fascinated by the material printed in The History of Middle-earth. I have gained a pretty good grasp of Quenya, and know a bit of Sindarin as well.

Thinlómien · 11-30-2006, 02:22 AM

Welcome Sadreen and Tar-Telperien!

And don't worry about the killer penguins Rune mentioned, they're all cute and cuddly, and tame.
