Who's got the best signature? - Page 57 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-14-2006, 08:26 PM

as jell-o is jelly then yes

Lalaith · 06-15-2006, 06:07 AM

Can somebody please explain the Fenris thing? I mean, I know who Fenris is, obviously, but why does he keep cropping up in people's siggies? Have I missed something?

Mithalwen · 06-15-2006, 06:20 AM

Oh I am sure you can work it out

There are a few more of us..

Lalaith · 06-15-2006, 06:49 AM

well, you, Ang and Lommy as far as I can see. Is it some sort of club?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-15-2006, 06:52 AM

didn't Fea have it as well ?

Anguirel · 06-15-2006, 07:01 AM

Indeed she did. Hmmm. Hee hee.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-15-2006, 07:07 AM

Anguirel ..that is wondrous

Thinlómien · 06-16-2006, 03:42 AM

Just noticed that spawn has rightfully joined our ranks. Yay!

Lalaith · 06-16-2006, 04:45 AM

Ok, I think I get it, this Fenris club is for people betrayed by their fellow wolves, right?
(Was mythological Fenris betrayed by wolves? Please advise...)

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-16-2006, 04:48 AM

No it was betrayed by the gods.

Lalaith · 06-16-2006, 04:51 AM

Well, he was chained by Gleipnir...footfall of a cat, beard of a woman etc. And he bit Tyr's hand off when the gods did it...is that betrayed? Perhaps....

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-16-2006, 05:12 AM

Well It is the gods who feeds it and take car of it, but then when it becomes to big they decide to chain it. Thet trick it into letting them put the chains on by prettenting it is a game to test it strength. (it brakes the first two) That is kind of a betrayal.

That'd apply to me, at least.

But no, that's not it.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-16-2006, 05:19 AM

Fenrir, I believe that is, not Fenris (unless that is a different spelling that I am unaware of). He was tricked by the gods of Asguard who challenged him to get out of an iron chain, which he did easily. They tried again with a stronger chain, but the same happened. So, they asked the Dwarves to make something to hold Fenrir, they made a magic ribbon. But Fenrir was suspicious and would not agree to test the strength until Tyr agreed to put his hand in Fenrir's mouth. He could not escape from the ribbon and so bit off the hand of Tyr. They then tossed Fenrir underground to keep him out of trouble.

Anyway, enough of this, back to the topic at hand!

Lalaith · 06-16-2006, 05:40 AM

Fenrir is I believe an alternative spelling of the name (and was used by JK Rowling for the WW character Fenrir Greyback). But if we were going to be very picky then Fenrisulfr (literally, Fenris wolf) would be the most correct way to refer to this monster spawn of Loki.

Lalaith · 06-16-2006, 10:15 AM

I'm at a loss. Your mothers are all giantesses? You've all bitten off someone's hand? You've all been tricked into bondage?

Anguirel · 06-16-2006, 10:58 AM

A clue-the designation "Fenris Wolf" is somewhat wry and ironic in nature...

Oh, and another clue. I am the progenitor of all Fenris Wolves.

Lalaith · 06-16-2006, 11:11 AM

Ok, I got it on the first clue.

That's a relief, I was getting some strange ideas about y'all.

Firefoot · 06-16-2006, 11:49 AM

Oh, got it now... good, now I can stop trying to figure it out.

JennyHallu · 06-16-2006, 11:52 AM

Umm...I don't get it at all.

Diamond18 · 06-16-2006, 04:54 PM

I believe the club is for anyone who has been lynched as a Wolf.

So Jenny, you qualify.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-16-2006, 05:06 PM

Aww, y'all are so cute. Not necessarily accurate, but cute.

Celuien · 06-16-2006, 05:26 PM

Wolves killed on day 1 (Anguirel - WW1, Mithalwen - WW8, Spawn - WW14, Lommy - WWJ3, Fea - WWJ6)?

Combing through the Grimoire...

Diamond18 · 06-16-2006, 06:12 PM

Ah, Celuien probably has it, then. That means... Nilp and Boro, but not Jenny, qualify.

"Candy!? Yeah! What? You want me to put on these handcuffs first? Okay."

"Haha! Got you again!"

"Not again!!!"

Oh, darn. If those are the qualifications I'll never get to sport a Fenris Wolf siggy.

Could you maybe relax your entry standards? Some of us just aren't blessed with such an incredible ability to attract votes early on. I mean, I didn't get a single vote throughout the entire game when I was a Wolf in WW X, despite my most sincere efforts.

What's your secret?

You try living past day one when the seer dreams of you before you even have a chance to mess with the world.

I'm afraid we're quite elitist, phantom-you're going to have to earn your tail...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-17-2006, 01:14 AM

So does that mean I can just stand here and look hot?

So as to make this is on-topic, I present you Fea's sig:

Quote:

Fenris Wolf... it's not easy being feared.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

You weren't feared. You voted for yourself, then a newbie and a jittery cat * at Valier* finished you off.

Mithalwen · 06-17-2006, 09:10 AM

No, in some respects this is a support group for wolves who have suffered, wolves who have been tempered by the fire, bold, anxious, and dreamt-of wolves.

It is not something sought, but a distinction thrust upon us. I think the rite of passage is essential. It may come to you in time.... some of us dread becoming "Fenris Wolf and Bar"

PS Fea has changed her sig to also true..

Fenris Wolf... it's not easy being a legend.

Come now love, if I wasn't feared, why dream of me?

And besides... I've changed it to something a bit more suitable.

Mithalwen · 06-17-2006, 09:29 AM

I think my boy is talking of himself again via one of his alter egos...

Estelyn Telcontar · 06-17-2006, 09:32 AM

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-17-2006, 09:35 AM

Curse Adam, Alice, and Others!

Still, it is nice having our little siggie club, even though one of our secrets has been discovered. Nice to see that nobody has figured out the other thing we all have in common.

And Ang, I've been meaning to ask... what is the actual translation of your sig? My knowledge of foreign tongues only extends far enough that I should know more than I do.

Mithalwen · 06-17-2006, 09:40 AM

I think it is Dante and it is very apt but I have not the skill in Italian to translate it well though I get the gist.
