Quite frankly, I'm amazed I even love the book considering they have pixie elves...
Treachery! Treachery! :D

Please do paavo next.

Lhunardawen:Has one of those '-wen' names that are beautifully unpronouncable and she believes being a 'Barrowdowner' is a (or would like to believe) bona fide Occupation.

Sometimes it does feel like a job. Heh.

AND lest I forget....

paavo:Paavo's username is his name, he's from Finland, (i asume) that's him in his avatar, he loves to play sports (aikido being one of them -- YES!).

My life-force is bound to this thread . . .
 

. . . so please, don't make it die.
:rolleyes:

Anywhen, InklingElf joined the Downs September 9, 2002 - wow, Advanced Happy Death Day! - and is a sophomore at the San Fransisco School of Arts.

Nilpaurion Felagund ...
 

... is quite easy to profile because he has a home page link on his BD profile.

His name is Louis Ortal and I believe that he hails from the Phillippines. He has an on-line alter ego called Adam. He does not have internet access at home and so is only able to post when he has access to the computers at his college (which is the middle of the night for me). His sister is another BD member, Lhunardawen.

He often frequents the Quiz and Quotes rooms and is particularly good at the cryptic clue and password games.

His posts are generally extremely amusing (although I attribute this largely to Adam ;) ).

Our beloved Saucie is a Monty Python fan, who is reminded by Faramir's Osgiliath retreat of "Run away, run away!!!" from MP and the Holy Grail. He is fond of the image of himself being a strong-statured, pipe-smoking, generally hobbitish person, and is "irresistably drawn" to Fordim's Canonicity thread.

Feanor's favorite 'new' threads are Fordim's doing and she was born in the year 1987.

Amazingly, Imladris has been a Downer for merely a year and two months, yet is already a moderator! She moderates the Fan Fiction forum at the previous BD site along with Son of Numenor, and this is most probably the reason for the personal title she now already has. She will be celebrating his birthday at the 28th of this month. I believe she likes the Harry Potter books, judging from her signature.

Lhunardawen thought Imladris was a guy :D

Perky knows Bill and Teds excellent adventure but very litte about x-files

Gil-Galad detests a person called uruk-hai987 in a strategy war game and the girls in his neighbourhood call him, "Hey you in those bushes"

Well, Sleepy Ranger seems to be a huge fan of cricket :).

Estel has much flattered me by putting me in her location.

She also has an insane infatuation with a certain Cap'n. (Hint: NOT Crunch)

Beren87
 

He thinks TOREstel is female. :D :p

Some people say he's quite good at the Quiz Room, and even sharper at the Quotes Room. I don't know. I've only bumped into him a few times (Quiz Room, at Palantir of Fortune.)

^ Has quite thoroughly shown how tired I am. =P

^ will turn 18 in 6 days.

Nilpaurion Felagund is fond of, nay, likes, nay, I'd say loves to play with his lego. His birthday will reach us in few days, that is, on September 16, when he will turn 18 and be his own man :). The one to follow is an assumption: he must be a bit lazy or a bit busy, or both. Why? Because he retains his homepage on geocities (http://www.geocities.com/louis_martian), despite slowliness and load of inherent mistakes and prohibitions this host is renowned for - the thing yours truly is engaged into as well, due to mentioned reasons of laziness and busyness.


Beren87, contrary to the implication of his profile's 'join date' field, has been around as far back as Ezboard times (which were left by BD in September, 2001). His screenname back than was HegemonMatt, the one he came to cordially dislike. He is interested in Osanwe-Kenta, I wonder what should we read in his mind if we were able to? ;) His current screenname comes by mixing his favourite hero's name up with his birth year, i.e. 1987.

HerenIstarion lives in Georgia and is a banker. He has so many interests, that they won't fit in the profile, or is just too many to type out. He is 2 yrs. and 10 months younger than me, as I was born in '76. According to the description, he has shown the "wisdom of Gandalf", which is a very high compliment.



...(did I do this right?, lol, leave it to a "newbie" :p )

Lady Gamgee is a Scorpio, but in Chinese astrology she's a Dragon. She, like my dad, digs NASCAR, and unlike my dad, gardening and baking.

Encai and I seem to be kindred spirits. She has remarkable parents who instilled such large amounts of conscience into her that she can't lie to them. She is a dinosaur fan, a Straight Edge, and has no issues with being corrected. Encai wants to be a music teacher some day and is a fellow Monty Python fan.

Fea

Encaitare posts a lot (6.35 posts per day).

She used to have a crush on Orlando Bloom, but now swoons over Book Legolas.

She's also a flutist and plans to become a music educator.

Whoops, I guess that was a cross-post. I'll do both of you:

Feanor of the Peredhil really, really hated A Separate Peace when she had to read it in school, so much that she blocked its title out of her memory!

Tar-Ancalime is not widely know around the Downs but she is very friendly and enjoys some poetry once and awhile...

Gil-Galad is a very avid fan of Trogdor and (most likely) all of the Homestar Runner gang.

He enjoys long walks on the beach and burninating the countryside, and has a very interesting web site.

Alright, I made up that beach part. :o ( <----how does that smiley represent "embarrassment?" I just don't see it...)

Saraphim's username is most presumably derived from 'Seraphim' and which she changed into 'Sara' cleverly.

She has morphed into a Moogle.

a guess...& then a gasp
 

He/She is 13 ( I'm guessing she, & now I'm hoping I didn't just make a fool out of myself by guessing 'she' :eek: ), &, ideally, InklingElf's lotr character would be a Numenorian.

'Her'? 'She'? 'infatuation with a certain Cap'n'? I must admit I am now scarred for life! :eek:

I'll have a go at this too!

Well, judging from the above post, The Only Real Estel must be male :D
(people with female sounding nicks are always female, wheras with male nicknames you never can tell. ;) and with some names I have no idea and keep wondering if that person is a he or a she for quite a long time! )

What else have I found out? Estel is from Kansas and plays basketball. He's interested in what other BDers look like. And he posts mostly in the movies section.

Guinevere lives in Switzerland and enjoys reading, nature, and sailing. She can play the piano and celebrates her birthday on January 10th. She frequents the QQ and is quite good at it.

Firefoot likes football and plays it too. She plays defender for her school team I think.

Sleepy Ranger believes that Vampires exist. He also plays football (soccer).

Well they do.
PS- Doesn't my location make you do a 'double take'?

Next person do Imladris not me.

A Fraction of Imladris
 

Imaldris is a die hard RPGer and kicks but at it, really throwing enthusiam into descriptions. A worthless post would not be in her nature. She is also a fan of classic film, namely Bill and Ted. In addition to that she is insanely jealous of the fact that every year I get to dress up as the Harry Potter character of my choice for the annual HP Party at the library. (I'm just teasing you there Imladris, don't put a hit out on my reputation, I beg you!)

Ha ha ha, the next post will be ALL ABOUT ME! (I hope.)

Pyro: sorry for shattering your dream but I really need to respond to this quickly. Please forgive me!

Isn't it amazing how you can post about the same thing on different topics (i.e.,the trouble with identifying gender) and still people will almost always refer to the most minute of posts?

Dear Estel.

I am.

A She.

But.....

I am 15 :cool:

Whew, that's good. :p

That's not. My research has failed me!!!

p.s. post on either pyroclastic or InklingElf, not me.

Pyro: I'm going out on a limb here and guess you're a boy.
So, Pyroclastic thinks that people at his university act like a bit like orcs, which explains his location. His former signature was "Not all those who wander are lost, but I sure am", which he thought was perfectly suitable for him. His Zodiac sign is Piesces. His interests include some stuff I never heard of before: Logrolling and Boom Running. :D

Evisse the Blue
 

I spell her name "Evissë", after an incident in the Palantir of Fortune thread. At first, she loved it, but then she asked me to stop.

She is seen everywhere in the Downs, but frequents the Quiz Room and the Quotable Quotes forum. She loves Nightwish and The X-files.

Nil is a constant poster that started in the Quiz Room (under my guidance? heh) and takes Finrod Felagund as her father

Gil-Galad likes hockey, pictures Mark 12_30 as a small, buff guy, & does a little weight-lifting.

TOR Estel is quite a PotC fan, and was irritated by not being able to get hold of the DVD for quite a while.

Elennar's favorite movie (aside from LotR) is Pirates of the Caribbean, and in her mind Helms Deep is made of red bricks.

Encaitare is a rabid Grima fan and her avatar was unofficially nominated as the most creepy one. I also believe that she said it was the picture of a tarot card of death...

(I can post again because H-I said that every ten posts would be just to the T)...

Imladris is obseesed by the Malfoys and has written a theory (arguable) to prove that the Malfoys are the good guys. She also has a large collection of Potter pictures and thinks she isn't fat. :p ;)

Sleepy Ranger is a hairdresser at heart seeing he likes to change his hairstyle every five minutes. He rolls out of bed *nods* and sleeps a lot. He also has ideas of taking over the world. OO, we could take it over together ;).
