Which Downer Am I! - Page 17 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Diamond18 · 05-20-2006, 03:20 PM

Correct! Your turn.

Roa_Aoife · 05-20-2006, 03:27 PM

This shouldn't be too hard.

The greatest comandment

Diamond18 · 05-20-2006, 03:57 PM

Am I on the right track here? The greatest commandment is to Love one another, so I'm thinking it has something to do with that.

Roa_Aoife · 05-20-2006, 03:58 PM

Actually, that's the second greatest comandment. But you're thinking along the right lines.

Diamond18 · 05-20-2006, 04:40 PM

Okay, a guess:

Formendacil

For his current signature:

Quote:

"I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep."

Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

?

Roa_Aoife · 05-20-2006, 04:41 PM

Sorry, that's not the correct answer, and that's not the greatest comandment.

Diamond18 · 05-20-2006, 05:00 PM

I just can't think of a Downer to go with "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your mind." Unless someone has that as their signature and I've missed it.

Roa_Aoife · 05-20-2006, 05:01 PM

Hint: it's in the name

Edit: Or rather, the name just points to it

Diamond18 · 05-20-2006, 05:15 PM

Errr...

Elu Ancalime

Pretty much God in ME.

Edit: No no... I was thinking of Eru Iluvatar. *facepalm* Har... dee... har.

Roa_Aoife · 05-20-2006, 05:24 PM

No more hints until a few more people guess.

mormegil · 05-20-2006, 05:27 PM

Mark 12_30

Roa_Aoife · 05-20-2006, 05:31 PM

Bingo! Take it away Morm.

mormegil · 05-20-2006, 06:12 PM

Okay I'm not nearly as good at this as most but I'll give it a shot.

If you want to know my real name daer

Roa_Aoife · 05-20-2006, 09:11 PM

Is it The only real Estel?

mormegil · 05-20-2006, 09:46 PM

Nope

Diamond18 · 05-20-2006, 11:05 PM

davem?

mormegil · 05-20-2006, 11:16 PM

No it's not Davem and I tweaked the clue...it wasn't really making sense as it was written...sorry.

Diamond18 · 05-20-2006, 11:29 PM

malkatoj?

Roa_Aoife · 05-21-2006, 08:20 AM

Alesse?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-21-2006, 10:04 AM

The only thing I got from reading backwards is that Nogrod is an anagram of Gordon.

mormegil · 05-21-2006, 10:31 AM

none of the above. I'll give hints if needed.

Gil-Galad · 05-21-2006, 11:53 AM

good ol' H-I perhaps?

tom bombariffic · 05-22-2006, 04:42 AM

Shadowelf?

(because -dae is 'shadow' in elvish, as in Dor Daedeloth?)

bombariffic

Diamond18 · 05-22-2006, 11:29 AM

I think hints are needed, morm....

mormegil · 05-22-2006, 11:46 AM

Eht tseb tnih I nac evig si ot daer ekil siht dna wonk taht eh sah ssel naht 001 stsop.

Hope that hint helps Diamond.

Oh and the last two guesses were incorrect.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-22-2006, 12:19 PM

Nonnacedak

Backwards is kadecannon, his email address.

My time was not wasted!

mormegil · 05-22-2006, 12:22 PM

Glad somebody found it. Correct Eomer. Sorry but I'm not good at making things cryptic so I go obscure and vague instead.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-22-2006, 12:25 PM

It was certainly different, Morm. The only other thing I got from reading all those names backwards was redlimb, from a user called bmilder. Everything else was gibberish (unsurprisingly).

Right, must think of a clue. Back soon.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-22-2006, 12:54 PM

See! Arien visits the beaches of Elenna.

Have at it.

tom bombariffic · 05-22-2006, 02:30 PM

Is it nightwalker?

Because if Arien is in Numenor it will be sunset...tenuous link I know...

bombariffic

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-22-2006, 02:40 PM

Interesting guess! Not right, though. I'm not giving hints yet, by the way.

Diamond18 · 05-22-2006, 04:48 PM

Ah -- a good puzzle, morm -- I figured out that I should be reading someone's name backwards, but alas I didn't come across Nonnacedak as I was searching for likely suspects in the member's list.

I'll have to give yours a bit more thought Eomer...

Diamond18 · 05-22-2006, 05:51 PM

Numenorean

my reason: He has an avatar (see! you see people's avatars) which depicts a beach scene which suddenly goes orange, like the sun is setting. And of course, he's in Numenor.

Like so.

tom bombariffic · 05-22-2006, 05:55 PM

Then your man must be "son of numenor".

Actually an even more fragile link than the last, but Arien made me think "sun", and "sun"/"son" got me thinking...

bomabriffic.

...Just noticed Diamond's post and reckon it's correct. blast.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-23-2006, 05:50 AM

I like that guess too, Tom; but Diamond is indeed correct.

On you go.

Diamond18 · 05-23-2006, 01:07 PM

I'm not really good at coming up with hard ones, so...

See See Lee Lee

tom bombariffic · 05-23-2006, 01:23 PM

leighlei? No idea what the 'see see' is for, but that's all I can think of right now, looking at the member list...

bombariffic

Diamond18 · 05-23-2006, 01:51 PM

Sorry, no, it's not Leighlei. This member is more active than that.

tom bombariffic · 05-25-2006, 03:35 PM

any chance of a clue please?

bombariffic

Diamond18 · 05-25-2006, 05:06 PM

It was inspired by Eomer's last clue.
