Most Embarassing BD moment - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Don't be silly, Estel. You did nothing to be ashamed of.

The whole thing was, without a doubt, Fea's fault. She didn't leave you unprotected because you confused her, though that's what she claimed- she actually did it on purpose just to be cruel. She has a mean streak in her, you know. All of those east-coast girls do.

Just you watch. Fea will pop onto this thread and say something horribly mean to me within the next day or two. Either that or she'll send me an insulting pm.

Don't blame yourself, TORE. The situation was out of your control.

Well, I voted for the Feanor in the ongoing Silmarillion Survivor. What I hadn't noticed was that "feanor was burnt to a crisp by Gothmog" the day before.

How could I miss that??? It was after all me who killed him...

I think my most embarassing moment(s)>>>plural because I've been doing this for so long, and that still haunts me to this day<<< would have to be calling Mr. Hedgethistle Fordhim, instead of Fordim, for practically the past year until I realized it was wrong.

OR

In WWXII announcing Saucepan as a suspect and he wasn't even a player. That definitely wasn't intentional, though I laugh at this one.

Apparently I'm rubbing off on some people.

Seriously though, great moment Boro!

Fret not, Boro...the mistake was the inspiration for Durelin's amusing thread here. Besides, there now exists a Formendhacil and a Nilpaurion Felagundh to keep Fordhim company.

Oh sweet Eru I was just reading B88's barrow-confession when I noticed how he spelt Ithillien.

Ithillien! I've been saying "Ilithien" for five years now! I've been writing and posting it that way for almost 100 posts now

! Ooooh if you could see my face at the moment you might decribe it as a peach (as I'm fair skinned, so peach is actually pretty red.) I guess I get stressed out easily (or I'm just so obsessed about LotRs that I let something like this bother me) but my stomach is hurting from all this. *Edits posts*

To make matters worse I was just about to post this entire bit in "The Future of the Downs". All is not well in Val-Land.

*Tentatively approaches thread*

It's Ithilien by the way. And hey, it's an easy mistake. I kept calling Imladris Ilmadris, before I made up the helpful phrase "nothing goes Ill in Imladris."

And, not really a BD moment, but I guess it's quite embarassing that I only just realised that Ithilien would probably translate as "Moon-land" or some such thing. I do love how things like this suddenly jump out at you, even after years of Tolkien obsession.

Boromir: In WWXII announcing Saucepan as a suspect and he wasn't even a player.

Along the same lines, I sometimes demand information from a player when they have/haven't done something and they're dead, definitely cringeworthy.

Maybe this second... the reason this is an edit is becausee it was meant to be a rep...

And for heaps of fun, just find "all threads started by user" for anybody and go to the earliest ones.

Quite right, guy.

Most of us did not take as much pride in our posts when we were young wights. It was before we found out how great the Downs was- a site worthy of our best efforts.
