Which Downer Am I! - Page 11 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Glirdan · 01-02-2006, 09:25 PM

Ummm... Fea perhaps?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-19-2006, 12:07 AM

Sauce, dear, my ears were ringing and now I greatly desire to know if Glirdan is correct. Would you be so unkind as to keep me in suspense?

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-19-2006, 03:58 AM

Well let me put your ears at rest, Fea, and declare Glirdan's answer incorrect ...

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 01-19-2006, 09:22 AM

Rimbaud. Parts of the clue ring a bell but I can't fit them together to make a good reason for it. I know you love giving reasons, Saucey.

Thinlómien · 01-19-2006, 09:54 AM

Spawn?

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-19-2006, 11:35 AM

Nope, neither of those.

A clue?

Hmm.

The question relates to a reference to a royal artist in a member's signature ...

Kath · 01-19-2006, 04:07 PM

THE Ka?

Hilde Bracegirdle · 01-21-2006, 10:28 AM

How about the guy who would be short?

the guy who be short · 01-22-2006, 10:56 AM

I would be short?

Hilde Bracegirdle · 01-22-2006, 06:16 PM

Horrors! Please accept my apologies. *Very very bad Hilde!*

Correction: the guy who be short?

Thinlómien · 01-27-2006, 11:13 AM

Nilpaurion Felagund?

Gil-Galad · 01-27-2006, 02:01 PM

Feanor of the Peredhil?

Amanaduial the archer · 01-27-2006, 02:20 PM

Not Fea, she's already been guessed. Any more clues/indication if those last guesses are right, Saucey?

Boromir88 · 01-27-2006, 03:01 PM

Ummm is it Encaitare?

If I remember she created that artistic thread a while ago. Though I'm not good at deciphering meanings and stuff so I have no idea about the "royal" hint.

Gil-Galad · 01-27-2006, 04:23 PM

Meneltarmicil if she hasn't been guessed already...

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-29-2006, 07:28 PM

None of the above.

This person's sig features the first name of a person who recently painted a portrait of a member of royalty.

A knowledge of recent British current affairs might help ...

Thinlómien · 01-30-2006, 10:15 AM

Doesn't help me... So sigs with names... Aman?

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-01-2006, 02:21 PM

Nope.

Final clue

Valier · 02-01-2006, 03:49 PM

Is it Roa-Aofie?

Hilde Bracegirdle · 02-01-2006, 04:02 PM

obloquy!

Glirdan · 02-01-2006, 06:49 PM

Bêthberry?

Hilde Bracegirdle · 02-02-2006, 05:53 AM

Message received, captain. Will transmit next clue as soon as I can find one!

Hilde Bracegirdle · 02-03-2006, 11:51 AM

Clue: Sir Gawain defended the king’s honor against the Green Knight, but when it comes to this Downer, he rather not.

Thinlómien · 02-14-2006, 11:21 AM

It has been nearly two weeks from posting the question and no one has had ideas. What about a clue? Or shall I just start guessing randomly?

Amanaduial the archer · 02-14-2006, 12:28 PM

Any chance of a clue, Pan-man?

Hilde Bracegirdle · 02-14-2006, 03:10 PM

Glad to see that someone is still checking in here.

Next clue: This queenly downer is mortally afraid of burnt stake.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-15-2006, 02:48 AM

Is it, by any chance, Mme. Guinevere?

Hilde Bracegirdle · 02-15-2006, 06:57 AM

Absolutely correct, Nilp! You're at the helm.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-15-2006, 07:15 AM

Khamûl's occupation.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-15-2006, 08:25 AM

I expect you're referring to Keeper of Dol Guldur.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-15-2006, 08:27 AM

Correct.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-15-2006, 09:04 AM

Different alternative makes suspicious tea.

JennyHallu · 02-15-2006, 09:10 AM

Hookbill the Goomba? For his wish in the thread Be Careful What you Wish For...

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-15-2006, 09:20 AM

That would be referring to a Downer's title by reference to a single post, which is too obscure even for me.

the guy who be short · 02-15-2006, 10:15 AM

Is this to do with Douglas Adams' concern that Americans are makers of suspiciously untealike tea? I fear not, but it sprung to mind, and Douglas Adams is oft quoted in the sig of Thinlomien. I think.

Edit: Gothmog, not Thinlomien!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-15-2006, 06:31 PM

Is this, by any chance, cryptic?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-17-2006, 04:05 AM

I thought that was a range of vending machines from the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, tgwbs. Anyway, that's not the answer.

Yes, Nilpaurion, it's a cryptic one. Also I wouldn't be so obvious as to choose a member whose name's likely to appear on any first pages.

Good luck.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 02-17-2006, 05:30 AM

Perhaps it is Kath? (An alternate form of Kathryn, as is Katy)

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-17-2006, 08:14 AM

The clue is a much more direct reference to the member's title. Besides, how do we account for anything apart from the 'tea' given that solution?
