Who’s got the best Title? (Do I hear some Nominees?) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tarien Ithil · 05-19-2003, 11:53 AM

Since the ‘Best Avatars’ *sniff sniff* was closed *glances mischievously at the Barrow Wight* just before I was about to vote there, well, here’s a replacement.

OK, some members here have some titles just under their nick. Now, who do you think has the best one?
I say Morham’s (I think it’s Morham, forgive me if it’s wrong &#61514 [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
“Dead and Loving It’ is rather cute.

Arafangwen · 05-19-2003, 02:10 PM

The Ghastly Neekerbreeker
Food for Birdland [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Wraith of Angmar
It describes The Barrow-Wight perfectly

The Desultory Dwimmerlaik
piosenniel perfect

Spirit of Mischief
right as red

Sword of the Spirit
What can you say but hurrayfindel Raefindel

Spirit of the Lonely Star
Beautiful, matches Child of the 7th Age perfectly

I just realized I'm rhyming! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] I must be really bored. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Eruwen · 05-19-2003, 05:16 PM

I like...

Shadow of Starlight
Aman

Hidden Spirit
Burra

Cryptic Aura
Bêthberry

The Perilous Poet
Rimbaud

Fair and Cold
Lush

EDIT: Ahh! How could I forget this one?...

Faithful Spirit
Samwise

I have many others, but those were just the ones I could think of.

My favorites are The Perilous Poet (sp?) and Starbreeze's Ghost of a Smile. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-19-2003, 06:47 PM

I rather like:

Bruce MacCullogh "Dead Man of Dunharrow"

onewhitetree: "Seeker of Syntax"

lindil: "Seeker of the Straight Path"

Elrian: "Eldar Spirit of Truth"

Raefindel: "Sword of the Spirit"

Kalimac: "Candle in the Marshes"

Estelyn Telcontar: "Ghosted Princess"

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-19-2003, 08:51 PM

Two more worthy of mention:

littlemanpoet: Bard Oder

Legolas: A Northern Soul

GaladrieloftheOlden · 05-20-2003, 12:49 AM

I don't remember who, but somebody has the title Regal Dwarven Shade, which I rather like [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Edit: I also find Capitalist Spectre amusing. And Spirit of Mischief.

[ May 20, 2003: Message edited by: GaladrieloftheOlden ]

Kuruharan · 05-20-2003, 10:27 AM

That would be me.

I agree, I do have the best title! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-20-2003, 10:32 AM

Capitalist Spectre is Thenamir.

Nobody's yet mentioned Heren Istarion's: Deadnight Chanter
Mithadan's: Spirit of Mist
Mark 12_30's: Stormdancer of Doom
or, I've decided my very favorite-
Gilthalion's: Hobbitus Emeritus

Sophia

Hmmm...yea, you guys have chosen good ones!

But I also like Squatter of Amon Rudh's Spectre of Decay [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eruwen · 05-20-2003, 02:41 PM

I would also like to put in Varda for Maiden of Tears. It is very nice.

Arafangwen · 05-20-2003, 03:15 PM

I found a few more, but can only remember one at the moment.

Eru's Gift
I had never seen Suldaledhel before I found only this one post of his/hers.

Diamond18 · 05-20-2003, 09:58 PM

I like VanimaEdhel's Ethereal Enchantress. Ah, alliteration...

I like Joy's Spirit of a Warrior.

VanimaEdhel · 05-23-2003, 04:21 PM

Bêthberry's Cryptic Aura has to be my favorite.

You really like mine? You should have seen me going through the thesaurus thinking of various combinations of names with alliteration. I wanted to get "enchantress" in there though, and "ethereal" is a very good word.

Lyra Greenleaf · 05-24-2003, 05:09 PM

Oh, and of course Pio:

'Course. I love alliteration. It's very pretty, too. Goes well with your avatars. It also reminds me of Charlotte Church's CD "Enchantment".

I used the thesaurus to find my PT, as well. Only, it wasn't for the PT, it was a few months back when I was writing a scene in a novel, and I'd used every similie for ghost that I knew, and just needed one more term... And I thought the word was so cool, I committed it to memory for future usage. E words rock. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 06-06-2003, 09:12 PM

P.S. Just a quick question but when one gets a title can they change it after a while?

VanimaEdhel · 06-07-2003, 01:38 PM

No, you cannot. I'm not sure if it will change when we get a large, large amount of people who have been around for a long time (you'd have to ask Barrow-Wight that one), but I do know that now, no matter how many you have, once you have a personal title, it does not change.

Scent of Symbelmyne, which has been mentioned, and Master of the Secret Flame are two of the nicest newly given out, methinks.

Beren87 · 06-09-2003, 07:48 PM

Thank you Aman.

But, I must say my favorite is not my own, but Orual's. I didn't even think to use it..bah! "Speaker for the Dead", it works on two levels as it fits in here, plus, it's an OSC referance.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-10-2003, 01:36 AM

A few more honorable mentions:

Susan Delgado for The Perished Flame
