Medieval weaponry, meet a tint poll.

Kath · 06-13-2006, 12:33 PM

Evisse the blue?

symestreem · 06-13-2006, 12:39 PM

Nope!

Valier · 06-13-2006, 01:28 PM

How about Envinyatar?

symestreem · 06-13-2006, 01:33 PM

No. This member's name doesn't have anything to do with medieval weaponry or tinted polls.

Nice sig, Valier!

Diamond18 · 06-13-2006, 01:49 PM

I was going to say OneAxetoRuleThemAll (I think that's a Downer) but now that medeval weaponry apparently doesn't have anything to do with it....

Is it an anagram?

symestreem · 06-13-2006, 01:53 PM

Part of it is an anagram, yes.

symestreem · 06-14-2006, 10:14 AM

The medieval weaponry was meant as a hint, and here's another: go for a walk. Figuratively. But stay in the category ("Middle-Earth Fun and Games".)

Kath · 06-14-2006, 11:53 AM

Erm . . . lmp?

symestreem · 06-14-2006, 11:56 AM

Yes!

(The medieval weaponry was meant to direct one to the Arrows 'n' Bows thread over in Mirth, which comprises anagrams. And meet a tint poll is indeed an anagram of littlemanpoet.)

Your thread, Kath!

Kath · 06-14-2006, 01:01 PM

Ah too complex for me, I needed the clue

Nomadic piece of history.

Mithalwen · 06-14-2006, 01:33 PM

Hilde Bracegirdle - Relic of Wandering days?

Kath · 06-14-2006, 01:38 PM

Ack! Must have been too easy

Your thread Mith.

Mithalwen · 06-14-2006, 01:40 PM

No ..just unlucky ... it just happened to ring a bell ... Hilde is a croney from the old codgers club.....

Mithalwen · 06-15-2006, 12:15 PM

Beethoven 73 : Haydn 76

Valier · 06-15-2006, 01:11 PM

Could it be Encaitare? with the bittersweet symphony?

Mithalwen · 06-15-2006, 01:55 PM

Well neither is a symphony and it is more topical..

Celuien · 06-15-2006, 04:25 PM

Anguirel the Emperor Penguin, Concerto and Quartet?

Mithalwen · 06-16-2006, 02:16 AM

Indeed, thread is all yours...

Celuien · 06-16-2006, 03:32 AM

Turn the top e over, if you insist. You won't find the stone giant or woman there.

mormegil · 06-21-2006, 07:32 PM

This has baffled me and I humbly request a hint.

Celuien · 06-21-2006, 07:42 PM

Hint:

If you don't find the giant or woman, you may find their opposites.

Turn around is a cryptic instruction.

EDIT: And the clue refers to a screen name.

mormegil · 06-21-2006, 07:43 PM

The Guy Who Would Be Short.

A wonderful clue but sadly given to a lethargic mind.

Celuien · 06-21-2006, 07:44 PM

On the right track... But no.

mormegil · 06-21-2006, 07:45 PM

Okay...

Littlemanpoet...

too many of these short men around here.

Celuien · 06-21-2006, 07:46 PM

You have it!

Also: turn around -> anagram of top e -> poet

You got the rest already.

The thread is yours.

mormegil · 06-21-2006, 07:54 PM

Perhaps this will work hopefully it's not too vague.

The first of the first on the first in a series of many but not in Wilwa's threads

Celuien · 06-22-2006, 12:11 PM

I'm probably being too literal here, (and too obsessed with a certain topic in Mirth

) but:

Series of many - the werewolf threads.
First of the series - the original TiG thread
First on the thread - The Barrow-Wight, who was not in Wilwa's game.

So, The Barrow-Wight?

mormegil · 06-22-2006, 01:58 PM

No but it was a good thought.

mormegil · 06-25-2006, 05:28 PM

Okay are hints needed?

Celuien · 06-25-2006, 05:30 PM

I'm stumped...

Gil-Galad · 06-25-2006, 07:06 PM

Davem perhaps because he began the first Polls on the Downs?

EDIT: or H-I... i'm confused but whomever made the most Polls in the downs

Celuien · 06-25-2006, 07:15 PM

I'm thinking that Wilwa's threads might be cryptic...but the only non-butterfly thread I can come up with is a spider's web (spider instead of butterfly/silkworm silk).

So, that would give me dancing spawn of ungoliant with Ungoliant as the first spider, but I have serious doubts.

From too literal to too symbolic.

mormegil · 06-25-2006, 08:56 PM

No, Wilwa isn't cryptic as much as a hint to help you get on the right track. Use a Wilwa thread for a clue but realize it's WW related.

Celuien · 06-25-2006, 09:22 PM

Last guess for the night:

Mithalwen, as the first person to have a Barrow-Downs dream analyzed by our own Dr. Elempi Dream (as far as I can tell). The dream was werewolf related, and not posted on Wilwa's dream thread, but instead on the "Your LOTR Dream" thread by laziieye.

And I'll need some rest before puzzling over this one anymore.

EDIT: My mistake. That would be Cailin, not Mithalwen, whose dream was analyzed. Mith made a werewolf related comment that was incorporated into the post...

Good night.

mormegil · 06-25-2006, 10:39 PM

The expression "You're so close, yet so far" would be appropriate here

Mithalwen · 06-26-2006, 01:31 PM

Wasn't Shelob the first ever werewolf victim? But I don't get the Wilwa ref unless she played a bit longer in that game...

Celuien · 06-26-2006, 01:39 PM

Ah ha. She wasn't in Wilwa's game...

That might just be it.

mormegil · 06-26-2006, 02:48 PM

You are both very close but your too focused on Wilwa's game, I said nothing of her game only her threads.

Mithalwen · 06-27-2006, 01:34 PM

Well apart from WWX she has started 3 threads. Barrow downs dreams..... What colour is Legolas' Hair and double scrambled quotes......

So it (self obsessedly) be me since I don't tend to have dreams of my own.

Or it could be Legolas himself ...or

It could be something completely different...
