Are you a Stalker? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 02-18-2005, 09:59 AM

Enca, I do that too! Whenever I see that the Wight has posted I rub my hands in glee at the thought of another Downer being reprimanded.

It's sick, I know...

Thoughts of the wrath of The Barrow-wight keep me on the edge of my seat. It's a thrill I never care to pass up.

Ahh, another victim...errr, uh, customer...I mean, client!!!

The counselors Stalkaholics Anonymous (who, by the way, always barge in with advice and suggestions without being asked, but still loudly demand payment) heartily agree that lurking about in the shadows, hoping to watch somebody else get pummeled is not a healthy way to spend one's time. It is a far more efficient to create mischief on one's own, that way one can experience the pummeling first hand.

(psst...does anybody else check the member list to see if Squatter has been online or posted anything recently?)

Our bill is in the mail.

A couple of days ago I noticed that Squatter was online and just about choked on my sandwich in excitement.

I also tend to notice when Saucepan Man, Fea, Mithalwen, Lalwende and Sophia among others are on because that usually means that there's a Hot Thread active somewhere...

And I know I'm paranoid Kuru; it doesn't mean that they're not out to get me.

Seriously though, I have been stalking a hell of a lot more than I used to. You are all very bad influences on me.

Here's something I do, and I wondered if it's stalking behaviour: I have a look at Who's Online and if I see someone is replying to a thread I've been interested in, or someone who often puts interesting or funny stuff on the forum is penning a reply, then I hang around until they've posted. Is that stalking? I know it keeps me on here rather later than is good for me.

Encaitare · 02-19-2005, 09:27 AM

Probably is, Lal.... not that there's.. anything.. wrong with that... *shifty eyes*

Mithalwen · 02-20-2005, 10:58 AM

No that is definitely not stalking *looks innocent*

Kuruharan · 02-20-2005, 12:27 PM

So many people in the grips of denial...

Mithalwen · 02-20-2005, 12:48 PM

well I don't think anyone has reached the "Enduring Love" stage.... Clerembaut's syndrome....

Lhunardawen · 06-22-2005, 02:01 AM

I was checking "Who's Online" for the nth time sometime last week when I saw lots of guests all checking out...the CbC thread for The House of Tom Bombadil!

What could explain this strange phenomenon? Could old Tom be starting an uproar?

Yeah, yeah I know... this is an old thread, but I wanted to put my two cents in...
First of all I like Lalwendë's quote at top of my post.
And secound of all I stalk Lalwendë too!
Yeah I know its weird... but she always writes good posts!

Simply YES, Rumil and Fea are my newest Stalkies, Darn you Rumil and your Riddles!

Boromir88 · 09-14-2009, 07:02 PM

I don't stalk anyone consistently, unless you could say that I stalk myself? If I'm offline for a while, I'll type "Boro" in the search engine and see if there's any talk about me, or if I'm bored I will troll through my old posts...but you can't really stalk yourself.

Generally new members who spark my curiosity get stalked for a few weeks...and it should be pretty apparent if you're one of them. And the rest of the time, my stalkees are people who happen to be on my mind.

Recently, I forget what caused it, but I thought of Azaelia, so I looked to see if she had been on recently, but she had not

and I went through some old threads she had posted in. One was a very memorable WW game, where the last 4 were me, Azaelia, Form, and Alcarillo. Alcarillo was the last wolf, who killed me at night, and convinced Form to vote Azaelia...that was a fun game. I also think it was Form's first...hehe.

As well as Agan and Inzil. Agan because I know she stalks me and I will be there the day she finally admits it, either that hope to catch her in the act at one point.

Inzil, because he always seems to be in the thick of the good Book discussions.

I'm flattered! I'd like to see more of you in The Books, Boro. You tend to come up with some nice insights.
