Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've just noticed that The Saucepan Man now 'steals taters' and that Lalwende 'was once misplaced by a forgetful Maia'? Where did that one come from?

Well, congrats to both of you!

The question the begs answering now is: misplaced where?

I'm sure ye noble Barrowdowners will get to the root of this mystery.*

*If you are Lalwende, please read this post as: Congratulations! If you could also tell us where you were misplaced, it would be most helpful.

100 points to the first person who can tell how I came up with the most recent reputation levels. No guesses, your answer must be specific and complete.

Drat, I can't make heads or tails that makes much sense. But I'm thinking it's Bilbo, or something like that.

I don't know when he stole taters, but it's very possible, knowing his heritage.

The petty dwarves would be Thorin and Company when they tumbled into his hobbit-hole.

The terrorized wood-elves would have to be Thrandruil's(sp) folk while he was wearing the Ring.

The misplaced by a Maia... I don't know, maybe when Gandalf left him in the Misty Mountain tunnels?

Oh, that really can't be it; can it?

No. The petty-dwarves were outcasts from the earliest dwarven society in the First Age who migrated into Beleriand and eventually died out.

Thorin and Company were Thorin and Company and would have resented being called petty-dwarves (Thorin in particular would probably have had a violent reaction).

The stalked-by-petty-dwarves rep level could refer to Mîm and the other petty-dwarves that were spotted by Túrin and his outlaws. In Andróg's eyes the dwarves could've been stalkers.

They ALL have something in common. That's what will earn the reward!

I have found a couple similarities: These new taters, wood elves, petty-dwarves, and misplaced reps are all funny, and are all mysteries that everyone is trying to figure out...
