Different 'Downer for a Day - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

ArwenBaggins · 05-29-2004, 12:06 PM

Heh, I'd like to be Bêthberry. Letting all of those inexperienced newbies into the White Horse Inn with two sentence, all dialogue posts... heh.

Or burra, to scare myself (or would I say ArwenBaggins?)

Just kidding burra.

Oh, dear.

Although, I wouldn't mind switching places with Bêthberry either, or Aman. But then, I think I like the Barrow-Downer I am now...

In a more serious post, I would like to be lindil. Amazing work in the Revised Silmarillion project.

It appears that most downers who I would want to be are actually female, while I am, for those of you who haven't figured out yet, am male. Well, here goes regardless.

The Saucepan Man: Purely so I could post 1-liners riddled with netspeak in the 'Canonicity' Thread and watch, with perverse amusement, the bewildered reactions.
Aman (teh archer, forsooth): So I could create the most cliched, monstrously stereotypical RPG characters in existence, the polar opposites of the ones she is actually known for, thus wreaking terrible havoc upon most of everything!
Child of the 7th Age and pio: So that I could do, as mentioned above, evil things, and be totally immune. Allow all manner of creature into the Shire's RPGs until every game is pockmarked by fairies, demigods, and jedi (no offense to Miss Eowyn Skywalker over there).
Squatter: I admit I have not encountered too many posts by Rimbaud, but many by Squatter, and I would love to feel his linquistic mastery flowing in my online veins. Ah, the feeling of power...For knowledge is power.
Fordim: Purely because I want to teach Shakespeare! Fie on you, Fordim Hedgesthistle! A plague on both your houses for being who thou art!

Wait, who has an avatar of Karl Marx? Did I miss something here? As a ruske born and bred, I have a right to know these things! Hoom, hum, naz'drovia...

Well, I personally enjoy being me on the BD, part of the reason I joined, but if I had to trade with anyone....
Probably Saucepan, just because he is amazingly smart. OR maybe.... any of the RPG people, or the Quiz Room King (20 questions esp.) KnightNight. I just am not very good at RPGs or the last few quizes! Ah, well, we can't be good at everything.

Fordim teaches Shakespeare? I knew I liked that guy!

You are quite right, Aylwen! I'd love to be you so that I may give a series of my roleplaying characters names that begin with the same letter without being a copycat! There just can't be a poser Aylwen!

I would also love to be Aman, Bêthberry, Pio, Child, or Fordim, for reasons so many others have already stated.

But then there is Estelyn Telcontar and Legolas. They have the power to delete senseless posts and repetitive topics, and the mind to notice them!

There are so many other interesting minds out there, many roleplayers whose characters jump out of their words, many great Tolkienites whose minds are bursting with facts and philisophical theories, and many duly respected moderators. I would be any of them, but I think I'm not too bad off as myself. Wishing for more would be in vain!

I'd like to be Estelyn Telcontar (sp?) just because she is at 1111 miles on the Walk to Rivendell. (By the way, congrats on that!

)

Mithadan, for the look of it, and to learn after four years of burning curiosity as of why does he call himself Grey Man, if he is not, in fact, grey of hair, as he admitted somewhere I can not remember now
