Which Downer Am I! - Page 18 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-26-2006, 10:07 AM

In the hope of being pointed to the right lines...

Kath? Because there are two people in her avatar, and there's a sort of duality going on in the clue. Can't explain what the words mean, though.

Diamond18 · 05-26-2006, 07:29 PM

You're right in looking to the avatars, but it's not Kath.

Diamond18 · 05-27-2006, 01:01 PM

I didn't think it would be a hard one, but... do you give up? Should I give the answer? I don't want this thread to die just because of my question.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-27-2006, 01:06 PM

I've spent quite a while looking through the avatars (apparently only 3 people are playing this game just now

).

Sure you couldn't give a li'l clue?

Diamond18 · 05-27-2006, 01:08 PM

The Downer in question is female. There is an actress in her avatar. Her name is Lee Lee Sobieski.

That's more than a lil' clue.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-27-2006, 01:14 PM

Easy when you know who that is, I suppose. And just, who is she?

Embarrassing to get this wrong but the face in that avatar is so small and I can't see it well. Is it Folwren?

Glirdan · 05-27-2006, 01:15 PM

Curses, you beat me to it. I was going to say either her or Fea, but I'm pretty sure it's Folwren.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-27-2006, 01:17 PM

Who is that hot actress in Fea's avatar, I wonder...

Diamond18 · 05-27-2006, 01:21 PM

Well that would be Fea.

Eomer got it. Folwren has a picture of Lee Lee Sobieski as Joan of Arc for her avvie.

Your turn again.

Well if I'd said See See Joan Joan it would have been much too easy.

Plus it wouldn't have rhymed....

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-27-2006, 01:27 PM

I guess this one will be terribly easy but it made me laugh.

Would that the Downers had a single neck!

Diamond18 · 05-27-2006, 01:32 PM

Anguirel?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-27-2006, 01:34 PM

And why would it be Anguirel, dear?

(Incidentally, it's not.)

Diamond18 · 05-27-2006, 02:02 PM

It just sounds like something he'd say. When you said it "made you laugh" I assumed you were quoting something the Downer in question had said.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-27-2006, 03:05 PM

It's not a Downer quotation, though it is quotation-derived. That's the first clue.

mormegil · 05-28-2006, 10:45 AM

Garin for his Caligula avatar and it's a Caligula quote about wishing all Roman's had a single neck.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-28-2006, 12:25 PM

Got it! Oooh baby, he's got it!

Take it away, my lupine comrade.

mormegil · 05-28-2006, 11:23 PM

Thank you Eomer!

Card's End mistake

Diamond18 · 05-29-2006, 05:32 PM

Um, okay. This is tenuous...

Nurumaiel

Because "Card's End" might refer to the personal title... it's what you get after Ghost Prince of Cardolan, so... card's end.

Her PT is "Vice of Twilight" which I think is a typo of "Voice of Twilight." (Or maybe it is supposed to be Vice. But I'm stretching, here.)

mormegil · 05-29-2006, 06:27 PM

You're on the wrong track on one point but the correct track on another.

Glirdan · 05-29-2006, 08:18 PM

My guess is that she was right about the Personal Title. Perhaps what we're looking at is an anagram?

mormegil · 05-29-2006, 09:01 PM

Yes and No

Diamond18 · 05-29-2006, 10:53 PM

I've combed through all the PT's I can find. Can you tell me, is it an actual PT or does this person still have Ghost Prince of Cardolan? (My eyes, think of my poor eyes...

)

mormegil · 05-29-2006, 11:02 PM

First I would like to say that this is my attempt at being cryptic though it probably doesn't follow the rules to the letter but oh well. Yes the clue relates to an actual PT, though you are a sad lot asking for clues and not guessing at all.

No it's not Ghost Prince.

Diamond18 · 05-29-2006, 11:16 PM

littlemanpoet

Bard Oder -- Odor is misspelled (though intentionally).

edit: I still think it's LMP but I'm not so sure that Oder is a misspelling of Odor, maybe it's Order. Instead of Bad Odor is Bard Order but for the pun to work the R is taken from Order and put into Bad. Ach. LMP explained it once upon a time but the explanation is fuzzy now.

mormegil · 05-30-2006, 06:50 PM

Sorry but no.

Diamond18 · 05-30-2006, 11:45 PM

*whimper*

Well, I hope someone a bit smarter can come along and guess, 'cause I'm officially clean out of ideas.

mormegil · 05-30-2006, 11:52 PM

Think of a synonym for mistake and that may help a bit.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-31-2006, 07:34 AM

Is it Iarwain?

His PT is Pugnaciously Primordial Paradox. The mistaken end or ending mistake you refer to could be twisted around into a primordial paradox.

mormegil · 05-31-2006, 07:56 AM

Card's End mistake

When you find a synonym for mistake combine it with End.

mormegil · 06-01-2006, 06:53 AM

a bad choice of words for a synonym but mistake = err

mormegil · 06-01-2006, 08:26 PM

Additional hint seemingly...

Bugger killer.

ninja91 · 06-02-2006, 05:23 AM

Stupid guess: Minas Morgul?

mormegil · 06-02-2006, 07:07 AM

No not Minas Morgul, is that even a Barrowdowner?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-02-2006, 07:36 AM

All I can think is Birdland who is our Ghastly Neekerbreeker. But she doesn't fit all of the clues...

No it doesn't fit one of the clues

.

It's in reference to another book, a non-Tolkien book.

Valier · 06-02-2006, 12:22 PM

Could it be Ender? I know the book you speak of Morm but I cannot find a member with a suitable name to fit your clues...yet

Edit: It could be Beanamir.....Bean was also a bugger killer.

mormegil · 06-02-2006, 12:47 PM

You're on the right path but not the correct answer. There is a PT that matches or comes very close to matching...think about it and you will get it.

JennyHallu · 06-02-2006, 01:50 PM

I know, I know!!!

Orual, our resident Speaker for the Dead!

mormegil · 06-02-2006, 01:58 PM

Thank you I was beginning to feel that my clue was hopelessly bad and that nobody would ever get it. I'm sorry if it was too vague.
