New Members - Introduce Yourself Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Faramir Jones · 10-04-2008, 10:44 AM

Thanks for your greetings, Rune!

The room I got in Christ Church College for the Oxonmoot was very nice.

I've already had a good look around here, and have posted things up in the mirth section, if people want to take a look.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 10-04-2008, 10:51 AM

I have allready seen some of your mirth-posts, I enjoyed the Gollum-Grease video.

Mithennor · 10-10-2008, 09:49 PM

Salutations, I'm new here, though not new to forum life. I'm a 21 year old college senior with an art major, double concentration in studio art and art history (medieval art, with a concentration in monsters in art). I also Belly Dance and do a lot of art, and I tend to be pretty sarcastic, and I'm almost impossible to offend.

Anyways, I look forward meeting you all

Inziladun · 10-10-2008, 09:59 PM

Let me be the first to welcome you, Mithennor.

Sarcasm you may well find here on occasion, but it's all in good fun. Enjoy yourself!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 10-10-2008, 10:02 PM

Welcome Mithennor (I wonder how we will shorten your name as we already have two called Mith around)

I hope you will enjoy the Barrow-Downs, it is a cold and dreadful place just like we dead like it!

I hope you will find intertainment in Mirth and Quizes and good discutions is Books and Movies.

Mithennor · 10-10-2008, 10:15 PM

Tragic, what will my nick name be?

mayhaps "Thenn" would work? I dunno. But thanks for the welcome.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 10-10-2008, 10:52 PM

Welcome, Mithennor! We could call you Nor?

haha, that works, I'm pretty open...I mean, my own mom can't remember my real name and she's the one who gave it to me

Well I still feel like an imposter - since the elders of the site tend to mean Mithadan when they say Mith. So I have no right or inclination to get possessive about it ..I am sure it will be clear by context who is meant - though if you start to play werewolf me may have to set a convention . I certainly you stay around enough for it to become an issue.

It could get to be like the Forsyte Saga - "Nicholas, Young Nicholas and Very young Nicholas" ..I quite like that ... at my age young even in a relative context would be a cheering prefix!!!

Lalaith · 10-11-2008, 05:53 AM

I am in a similar position; t'other Lal I think has a precedence.
We have yet to play in the same WW game, however.

White_Knight · 10-20-2008, 12:37 PM

greetings and hello to all from myself- My name is Gervias, but I am known far and wide as the white knight. I fight evil and injustice- reknown for fighting for and defending the white tower. I have fought in the war of the ring and other conflicts stretching over years of middle earth's history.

With that- greetings and hail the white tower.

White_Knight · 10-20-2008, 12:39 PM

I would like to get into role playing here- though I know not how it works- I beg of thee elders of barrow-downs, aid me in my battle against evil!

OelteA · 12-11-2008, 11:06 AM

Heya folks, Lady OelteA (Oh-Ell-Tay-Ah) here hoping to join in all the fun. This is my first reading of the LoR books, and am feeling the constant urge to dig deeper into the story. So far I'm in Rivendell in Part One, with Frodo enjoying running into Bilbo again.

Have had the book set for over 5 years, and have been saving the reading project for a special time. It has now dawned, and I'm totally infatuated with the story. I've been surrounded by LoR fans going back to their first readings in the 70s, so have heard much about this story that has enchanted me.

Hoping to gather more insight into the story line, as well as handling the inconsistencies (one of them drawing me here in the first place; looking into the inconsistency with the creatures in the Misty Mountains: The Hobbit has gremlins, and The Fellowship of the Ring has Orcs...still haven't figure that one out).

Found the FAQ's, and am now trying to figure out how to properly write my handle OelteA with the squiggly's (can't actually find the ability to change that name; s'pose a moderator would do this?)

Still not sure how to properly arrange any squiggly's in my name, as I made up the name 7 years ago when I started learning RPGing...haven't had a source to play with since, but will get on again when I do (still much to learn).

Anyways, I look forward to all your insight in these forums and can't wait to know more

alatar · 12-11-2008, 11:17 AM

Welcome Lady OelteA to the Downs. Hope you enjoy your time here as well as reading the books. I'm currently a couple of chapters ahead, though this is about the thirtieth time through.

Some information can be found here regarding the difference between orcs and goblins.

Sorry, OelteA - members cannot change their nicknames here. That's a decision that was made by The Barrow-Wight when the forum was founded over eight years ago. As a moderator, I can't do it for you either; only the administrators can, and they do it only in extremely rare cases.

I welcome both you and Stewie to the Downs; enjoy yourself here!

Gwathagor · 10-11-2008, 12:16 AM

Hail, Mithennor.

Medieval art history is fascinating.
