New Members - Introduce Yourself Here

[the phantom]

Truly, Phantom, is that really necessary?

It is if you're from the east coast. I just don't trust you people.

Ye don't want to scare away all the nice newbies, do ye?

I guess not the "nice newbies".

But you know, I think we need somebody like me making semi-hostile remarks-> to counter all of the gushing welcomers-> around here.

[Linnahiril Tinnufinwen]

Hello, I'm also new. Well, I'm not exactly new...its just that I've been away for a long time. I hope that I'll be able to participate once more in discussions and such, although I must admit that I am far from a Tolkien expert. But I plan to improve my knowledge as much as possible.

[Sapphire_Flame]

Welcome, Linnahiril, or rather welcome back! *pokes*

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[Nimrodel_9]

Welcome back, Linnahiril!!!

[elronds_daughter]

Welcome (back), Linnahiril Tinnufinwen!

But you know, I think we need somebody like me making semi-hostile remarks-> to counter all of the gushing welcomers-> around here.

You think that, phantom? I'll join you, though I don't have quite as sinister a reputation.... I can just warn them about how horrible their deaths will be.....

[Encaitare]

Welcome back, linna!

Gil-Galad -- Wait! I think I get it! No, that's just new age music... and I'm still oblivious.

I can just warn them about how horrible their deaths will be.....

Yes, newbies, first you shall unwittingly click on a link that says "Canonicity," upon which your brains shall immediately be melted.

Next, you shall be tempted to join an RPG. Pursue at your own risk.

And then, you shall get involved in a heated debate over some trivial point in LotR, only to realize that no one is ever going to agree, no matter how often you tell them that of course Balrogs don't have wings...

Someday, you may even get a personal title... and that's when you know that your soul belongs to the Barrow Downs.

Heh... don't mind me. Enjoy your slow, slow demises.

[Ainaserkewen]

I think I'd like to make a special mention to all members who are now joining in the futuristic year of 2005. This year will be on your prophile for the rest of your Downs-related vitural deaths so be proud. Also, happy New Year to all.

I'd also like to make another special welcome back to everyone who was away over the holidays or longer. If you or your family are very conventional about whatever holiday you celebrate, then all us you should know how difficult it is to receive internet time. So like I said, and I'm including myself in here because I couldn't find a piece of technology more advanced than a toaster over for the last two weeks, Welcome to the New Year of the Downs, may it be productive.
