Morsul the Dark · 09-23-2005, 09:48 AM

hookbill our good friend said this

it was in "the future of the downs" it was reffering to a fake newspaper in which gil-galad killed the phantom

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-23-2005, 02:49 PM

yes

I felt a great joy reading it.

(not becouse of the murder, but becouse it was funny)

Gil-Galad · 09-23-2005, 05:11 PM

That newspaper was fake! you gotta be kidding me... i thought i finnally killed The Phantom.... well have fun with your turn Morsul

Morsul the Dark · 09-24-2005, 09:12 AM

this one may require some digging

The environment seems nice, so I will start posting around.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-28-2005, 07:14 AM

A clue? I can't seem to find this one anywhere.

Glirdan · 10-03-2005, 03:37 PM

*Pokes Morsul in the head* Anybody home? You have one more day before someone takes over. But I really can't find this one and I'd like to know who it is.

Firefoot · 10-03-2005, 03:53 PM

I haven't wanted to post here because I finally got tired of looking and used a search engine...

I had the thread right (Newcomers, Introduce Yourself Here); it was some obscure member with 2 posts on the sixth page.

I don't think Morsul's been around for a while; I'd say anyone can go.

Well, I wouldn't call that strictly fair...I did try searching Novices and Newcomers, but I was searching from the end backwards, and as you can imagine it got a little tiresome...

Firefoot, you technically found it, although we shall have to take your word for it that you are right - I'd say that the next go is therefore yours.

Sleepy Ranger · 10-04-2005, 11:59 AM

You must mean Anilorak, post #202 on page 6 of the Introduction Thread...

Firefoot · 10-04-2005, 02:24 PM

Yes, that was him/her. Aman, I had originally tried doing the same thing. It wasn't working, and I realized that I was going fast enough that I was likely to miss it anyway.

So here's what should be a relatively easy one to get us going again:

Quote:

If we killed all the weird people, the human race would cease to exist

Glirdan · 10-04-2005, 03:55 PM

Why that was dear old Perky Ent who said it in the "Do we realize how crazy we are?" thread.

Firefoot · 10-04-2005, 07:59 PM

Yup.

Glirdan · 10-04-2005, 08:01 PM

You might have to a little digging for this one.

Quote:

I wonder if Gandalf could have received his power-up without dying. Given that the primary reason for it was Saruman's treachery and that it came direct from Eru, I don't see why not ...

Go for it!!

mormegil · 10-04-2005, 08:14 PM

I remember that quote and I want to test myself by not looking. I believe that it was Alatar that said that.

Edit:

I was wrong it was SpM here in the thread "If they still had Gandalf"

Glirdan · 10-04-2005, 08:20 PM

Wow!!! Good one morm!!! You're thread!!!

mormegil · 10-04-2005, 11:10 PM

Thanks I remembered that thread rather well and enjoyed it so it came easily to me.

Quote:

I hate to sound, well, ignorant but what ignorance are you talking about?

Have at it my mates.

mormegil · 10-10-2005, 08:12 AM

*bump*

Do you need any hints to get you on the path?

the guy who be short · 10-10-2005, 10:48 AM

That sounds like a very Feanor thing to say.

mormegil · 10-10-2005, 11:02 AM

That is not correct my short friend.

Gil-Galad · 10-10-2005, 03:19 PM

Alatar? it sounds awfuly familiar

mormegil · 10-10-2005, 03:21 PM

Nope it's under movies...that's a good hint to get you going.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 10-15-2005, 08:14 AM

Well, since no-one else is biting I might as well claim that quote as my own, Mormegil.

I remember that was the first time I ever spoke to Holbytlass. A fine occasion, if I may say so.

mormegil · 10-15-2005, 09:02 AM

You are correct and it was either the first or one of the first major discussions I was in and rather enjoyed it, even though you and I didn't see eye to eye on the issue.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 10-15-2005, 10:16 AM

It was a pretty good thread, if I may say so myself.

Try this one for size, one of my all-time favourite Barrow-Downs quotes:

"...and now your fangéd triumvirate can name them as suspects to deflect attention from yourselves!"

An easy one, perhaps; but worthy.

Glirdan · 10-15-2005, 10:29 AM

That looks like it was part of one of the Werewolf games. The only problem will be trying to find which one. If I'm right that is.....

the guy who be short · 10-15-2005, 11:09 AM

Without checking, which condemns me to being wrong, that sounds Fordimesque.

Mithalwen · 10-15-2005, 11:38 AM

There are downers who are diligent enough to use accents and alas I am not one of them!!! But Son of Numenor has one on his "u" ..and he said this in Werewolf 2, Post 64

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 10-15-2005, 02:43 PM

Mithalwen is correct. Your turn, m'lady.

Mithalwen · 10-16-2005, 11:51 AM

Thank you kind sir..

They listen to Bach and do cross-stitch.

Try this....

Mithalwen · 10-26-2005, 01:11 PM

Anyway they aren't into that crude physical stuff. Uruk-Hai are civilised! They listen to Bach and do cross-stitch.

10 days on, I wonder if a longer quote will tempt anyone to try?

Boromir88 · 11-03-2005, 07:33 AM

I know I've seen that but don't hold names or memory too well.

I'll say Squatter of Amon Ruhd.

Gil-Galad · 11-03-2005, 08:03 AM

hmmm maybe Gurthang?

Mithalwen · 11-10-2005, 01:33 PM

Neither .... he doesn't post so much alas but what he does is always good value (not implying that that is not true of those you have mentioned).

mormegil · 11-10-2005, 01:50 PM

Drigel?

Boromir88 · 11-10-2005, 02:04 PM

Ahh, I was thinking drigel, but just in case I'll say...

Son of Numenor?

Mithalwen · 11-10-2005, 02:36 PM

Nope squared

Boromir88 · 11-10-2005, 02:53 PM

Umm...Formendacil

Sleepy Ranger · 11-10-2005, 03:03 PM

I know this is going to be totally wrong but if I recall correctly I read a topic a few years ago where someone made a note of civillized uruk-hai (or maybe orcs), I believe the username was something Silverleaf or Leafsilver. I don't think that member is active anymore.

mormegil · 11-10-2005, 03:04 PM

We can safely assume, by the awful spelling of civilised, that he is not American.

I'm not sure if he is or not but I'll say

Arry.

if not do you have little hint for me?

Gil-Galad · 11-10-2005, 11:52 PM

hmmm... i think its one of our fair barrow-Damsels...

Eowyn Skywalker perhaps?

or maybe Maegedgallial(sp of course)
