Boromir88 · 12-15-2005, 05:45 PM

Greetings and Salutations Valier and Elu Ancalime. There are many activities you can find here at the downs, from the Chapter-by-Chapter book discussions, Scene-by-Scene movie discussions, if you want to get out of the "serious" and into the "mirth" perhaps Crazy Captions, or the Werewolf Games will suit you. Plus there's on going RPG's. Enjoy your stay. (P.S. And don't forget to pop into the Quiz Forums

)

Thinlómien · 12-16-2005, 07:20 AM

Welcome, Valier and Elu! Enjoy being dead, as we (or nowadays actually only I) say here.

If you're interested, there are lots of interesting discussions in the Books-forum and don't forget to participate in a Werewolf-game...

Gil-Galad · 12-16-2005, 07:47 PM

Welcome to your grave. May your stay here be long and filled with the horrible pleasures of the dead...

And welcome Valier and Elu too!

Enjoy being dead, all of you! (See, Thin, you're not the only one!)

Rune Son of Bjarne · 12-18-2005, 06:42 AM

Welcome to the Downs Ari , make sure to take a look at the quiz room and all the amasing stuff you will find here. If you are intrestet in Norse Mythology compared with Tolkien we have a fantastic thread on the subject in the book diskution's.

Boromir88 · 12-18-2005, 07:37 AM

Hello Ari, seeing as Rune has already mentioned the quiz room, I'll mention the rest, for there are many more activities here at the downs:

hello... I'm Ken

Stormy is an old nickname in my family and I often use it on message forums. It was my grandfather's nickname when he was in WWII.

I have been a fan for probably 30 years, starting when I saw The Hobbit cartoon when I was a little kid. It really took off when I was 18 and a friend lent me the LOTR books. I read them then, again when I was 25, listened to unabridged audio books while working at my job a few years ago after The Two Towers movie came out, and I am now reading them once again and starting to check out The Silmarillion. Rather then reading it from cover to cover, [Silmarillion] I find myself skipping around and reading chapters out of order. I also like to study maps of middle earth.

I think LOTR is a beautiful work of literary art, and one of the greatest of our time. Long after many pop icons of the 20th century are forgotten in time, Rings will still be celebrated like a classical overture or a Greek epic.

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-18-2005, 12:51 PM

Welcome, stormy - and all other newcomers! You'll find plenty of people around here who agree with your opinion of LotR as a great work of literature! Look around and see where your favourite topics are being discussed and join in. If you have any questions that aren't answered in the Forum FAQ thread (at the top of the Novices and Newcomers main forum page), please feel free to send me or one of the other moderators a PM. We'll be happy to help. Hope you enjoy yourself here!

Gil-Galad · 12-18-2005, 07:05 PM

Welcome Rider of Angmar I hope you will enjoy your death here at the Downs. . .

If want to use this infinety of time you have, why not try out The Quiz Room or maybe a game of Werewolf is more to your liking. Anyways I look foreward to see you around.

Death? Cheerful people...thanks I hope to be a regular here. Maybe. Have to explore this one.

Nimrodel_9 · 12-27-2005, 01:48 PM

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've had a chance to use a computer. I have missed so much! I should have my computer back in about three weeks, though. We are still in the process of building our house and keep getting delayed.

I miss all of you!

Also, a warm welcome to all newcomers in the past couple of months!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 12-27-2005, 06:03 PM

Welcome Naria.

I hope you will enjoy your death at the Downs among us Wights.

I see you have allready found your way to the RPG's. You may want to take a look at the Quiz Room or Mirth if you want to be silly and talk Tolkien at the same time. If you are more interestet in serious talks then the book and movie sections will be great.

Hello to everyone, my name is monks. I hope you're all having good Christmas.

I've been on the site reading in the past but have not happened this way in a while. I'm looking for some answers to some questions regarding the Tolkien languages and translations, etc. Hope I can find some answers!

Cheers

01-04-2006, 06:33 AM

Hi all! I am new to this group, but not to Tolkien. I first read his books years ago, and have read them almost every year since. I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I have written a couple of articles recently about the symbolism of The Ring, the map of MiddleEarth and how they pertain to spiritual evolution. I'd love any feed back.

Well Gil, what can you say? It's a good quote.

Oh, and has anyone seen that fluttering blue (can't forget dead) butterfly of ours? She seems to have disapered and I KNOW she's home. I just talked to her not to long ago.

Lolidir · 01-07-2006, 12:41 AM

Hey everyone welcome to the Downs. Hope you enjoy it around here with all these fine dead people talking about only the best books in the world. Try out some of the The Last to First Letter Middle Earth Game, or if you really get into it there are some quiz rooms around here somewhere that have some awesome stuff.

O and by the way, I so watched that movie today and just got on and saw that that quote was on. Empire Strikes Back.

elronds_daughter · 01-11-2006, 11:31 AM

I've been away for far too long......But I have returned! And I shall do my level best to get back into the swing of things. I may take a while though...what with college starting next Tuesday, and all. But I have better things to do than play solitaire!

And welcome to ALL newbies....and not-so-newbies.....

I feel bad.

I've missed a lot.
