I've updated the list and added about a dozen members/PTs I missed. Eighty-one pages of members....I guess I was bound to miss some.
Anyways, my ultimate favorite PTs are Aylwen's "Melody of Misery," Dwarin's "Khazad-Doomed," Guinevere's "Banshee of Camelot," Encaitare's "Bittersweet Symphony," Orofaniel's "Mighty Mouse of Mordor," and Nerindel's "Spirited Weaver of Fates." Just looking at the list, I see so many great titles- it was hard to choose only a few....

Shady is not meant to be anything rapper-like, as you guessed... (though, what's the problem with Thin-Lo being a rapper; that's not so very far from it...) It just sounds a bit undeadish and refers to me in werewolf games...

I was going to say Lommy, that's all very well, but your name is not Thin-Lo! Lommy it has been since first I forgot how to use the accent thingy and Lommy it shall be forever!

Grazie...occurred to me while ranting about the Byronic aspects of Feanor and co...
I was considering "Feanorian Falchion" but eventually dismissed it as slightly too obvious...

Why thank you! I'm quite excited about it. Looks so pretty and title-y and important there under my name.

I'm still kind of wondering what, exactly, is the sort of thing that would prompt the giving out of a personal title. Granted, those who have received them deserve the honor, I'm just wondering...

Mr Modest here does not mention that he joined at the end of April last year and had his title by the second of Sept ..if I am correct in my reckoning .... makes me look like a slacker ... but of course it was some time before I dared post..

Oh, guys, I can't decide on mine at all. *sigh*
By the way, I don't understand yours at all, Anguirel, and was going to ask you sometime or other. . . is there something behind it? -- Folwren

Let me compliment Ang on his choice...a fine selection and very fitting.

Folwren, Byronic comes from the Great Romantic Poet George Gordon, Lord Byron. It's basically come to mean "devil-may-care debonair defiance" kind of thing. "Brand" means a sword, so it's appropriate enough for me...
Mith, no? I must strive harder!

Oh but Ang I have this premonition that when I am gaga and institutionalised and you have achieved the greatness you are surely destined for I shall be bragging to anyone that will listen that I knew you ...
and they will think daft old bat and up my medication....

For some reason I never noticed Formendacil's. I love it! Very cheeky.

"Mom. . .are we prisoners of hope?" She gave me a rather quizicle look. "I don't know. Maybe." Well, thought I, I guess that would work. A moment later: "Mom. . .Are we messengers of hope?" "I hope so!" was her very immediate answer. And so it came about, though I still deliberated for a few days after that. -- Folwren

I like Formendacil's Dead Serious...
I have a question...how do you get a title? I looked it up in some FAQs, but couldn't find anything.

edit: Usually there's always a bunch of people who get PTs the same time, and the PT offers are sent something like once or twice a year, if I'm correct.

Heh, well it seems I have done something right for the past couple of years
I just read my PM from the almighty BW. I wasn't at all expecting to ever have a personal title so I'm kind of at a loss for ideas. If anyone would like to make some suggestions, I'm all ears |

Ah I was wondering who the latest batch consisted of. Nice to see some new ones.

Ah thanks!
I actually wasn't really looking for something really special, just something like a title that you could actually have in M-e. And since I didn't want to make anything important I decided for the guards as I've always liked the Gondorians.
