I'm guessing Squatter only because I'm too stubborn to listen to you say "pay less attention to the Dwarven part".

Fine, I'll loosen up my obstinance. But only for you.

Director makes me think we're talking about a mod or an admin here, the list of which is easily accessed, but I didn't see any that made sense to me. By Dwarvish, I'm thinking perhaps it's not actually dwarfish, but more "short", which could be concise, such as one Laconic Loreman (B88). But I'm missing out on the despondent. I'm still working on that part. Am I doing better now?

Dwarvish - could refer to height, nick, Dwarvish RPG character, or someone who fit the role of Dwarf in a WW game. Looking at the last one, Eonwe, TGWBS, and Kuru could all fit that. Eonwe is the only one who hasn't been guessed, so him?

Despondent - Um... I'm having trouble thinking of anyone who might fit that. Mithalwen has gone through bouts of despondency, I guess, but she doesn't really fit the "Dwarvish" part. And she has more than 500 posts.

Directer - If it's not a mod or admin, I guess it could be anyone who has run a WW game. Not many of them have fewer than 500 posts, though.

Is any of this on the right track?

The dwarvish part has very little to do with the actual person, though I don't dabble at all in the RPG so I wouldn't know if he has a dwarf character but I think he does play in the RPG.

No he's played in at least one WW game but never modded one.

Firefoot, is it you?

You are a rcord-setter in having, or at least had, the most posts per day. And you're a real puzzle because you frequent the Quiz and Quotes Rooms.

Could this be a cheeky one?

This record-setter is a real puzzle.

Might it be The Spectre of Decay, aka The Squatter of Amon Rűdh? He certainly is the only Downer whose record is set in the smilies and he does love the puzzles of Quizzes and Quotes, to say nothing of cryptic clues.

Sleepy Ranger comes to mind.

He thought it was a big deal to be the last post on three pages in a row here. Soon after he upped that to four.

Then he gave ten options, which he figured was a record here.

And didn't I hear him proclaiming some sort of 9 second record one time?
