I thought that was a range of vending machines from the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, tgwbs. Anyway, that's not the answer.

Yes, Nilpaurion, it's a cryptic one. Also I wouldn't be so obvious as to choose a member whose name's likely to appear on any first pages.

Good luck.

Perhaps it is Kath? (An alternate form of Kathryn, as is Katy)

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-17-2006, 08:14 AM

The clue is a much more direct reference to the member's title. Besides, how do we account for anything apart from the 'tea' given that solution?

Hilde Bracegirdle · 02-17-2006, 11:07 AM

Very true. Too much of a leap, albeit a fun one.

...Title, eh?

Gil-Galad · 02-17-2006, 05:41 PM

When you say Tea i imediately think Hookbill

Such associations will surely lead you into error. You must unlearn what you have learned.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 02-20-2006, 06:00 AM

Could it be Tigerlilly Gamgee?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-20-2006, 07:21 AM

It could be, but isn't. This poster isn't a regular.

Bêthberry · 02-20-2006, 03:31 PM

You know, I wouldn't put it past Squatter to refer to himself. And he is not on the first page. Let's see... suspicious tea. Well, a spectre of decay would definitely produce a suspicious oozy 'tea-like' fluid. But that is a stretch--or perhaps I should say, stinker.

On the other hand, a suspicious tea could well be a from of prohibited substance, and we all know who carries around all those pots with him. But The Saucepan Man is indeed on the first page.

Well, that's all the time I have to devote to silliness.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-21-2006, 07:22 AM

Much as I dislike deterring the participation of our more astute members, neither of those is right. Top marks for deviousness, though.

No, I'm afraid that referring to myself might be a little too obscure these days, at least until I can work out some way of posting more regularly. As for Saucepan, he's been mentioned in this thread so many times that I expect his ears are heating his office. I thought perhaps I ought to give him a rest. Still, you might remember this member. I thought it was a great nick when I first saw it.

I think it is Lord of Angmar, whose title, "Tyrannis Incorporalis" is an alternative way to refer to his screen name.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-22-2006, 05:00 AM

I've never drunk Lord of Angmar's tea, but I'm fairly sure that it wouldn't be as suspicious as any brewed by the member I have in mind.
