Which Downer Am I! - Page 28 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Valesse · 08-23-2006, 09:55 PM

You're half right there, Diamond, though you did get what was cryptic about it. Bravo!

Valesse · 08-26-2006, 09:25 AM

The hint refers to both a person and a post they made.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 08-26-2006, 02:21 PM

Random Guess: Formendacil ?

Valesse · 08-26-2006, 10:13 PM

Noooo...

"Gran'maa" (anagram) meter are part of the same clue.

Gran'maa meter from the heart.

Valier · 08-29-2006, 10:52 AM

Could it be Meneltarmacil?

Valesse · 08-30-2006, 10:27 AM

No.

The downer I'm looking for is also fairly well... versed, though. So you're on the right track.

versed... meter... versed? Eh? Eh?

mormegil · 08-30-2006, 10:29 AM

Mithalwen?

Valier · 08-30-2006, 11:11 AM

Anguriel?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 08-30-2006, 11:25 AM

lmp ?

Gil-Galad · 08-30-2006, 02:19 PM

Rimbaud?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-30-2006, 02:24 PM

Inktomi Slurp Spider?

Seriously, I thought you had to explain your answer?

Gil-Galad · 08-30-2006, 02:25 PM

well, Rimbaud because of his Perilous Poet PT

Valesse · 08-30-2006, 04:30 PM

Gil-Galad, it is your thread!

Though I would like to hear Eomer's reasoning, I suppose that it is simply the legendary "un-reasoning".

Gil-Galad · 08-31-2006, 01:08 AM

Don't hate me cause i'm hip

a super easy one

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-31-2006, 08:06 AM

Not exactly. Inktomi Slurp Spider is, by definition, the answer to most problems.

Because you say it's super-easy, Gil, I'm thinking it might be the phantom, always slightly concerned that people will be jealous of his awesomeness.

Glirdan · 08-31-2006, 10:31 AM

Or perhaps it you Gil?

Gil-Galad · 08-31-2006, 12:26 PM

no its not the phantom or yours truly, keep guessing, it is easier then you think

Valier · 09-01-2006, 12:01 PM

Is it something someone said in a sig? I need a bit of a hint....

Gil-Galad · 09-01-2006, 01:46 PM

nothing with a sig, or PT. its more of a description of the person.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 09-01-2006, 03:02 PM

Feanor of the Peredhil, for the same reason I guessed the phantom.

Gil-Galad · 09-01-2006, 04:26 PM

nope keep guessing, i'll give another hint after a couple more hints

Valier · 09-01-2006, 04:48 PM

Well really Gil.......There a lot of members who could be considered hip.

Is this "hipness" assigned by you, or do others think they are hip too?

mormegil · 09-01-2006, 07:37 PM

I'm guessing you Gil. You might be cheeky enough to give that hint.

Gil-Galad · 09-01-2006, 08:56 PM

i've already been guessed and its not me

now i forgot the hint i was going to give...

oh yes!

look at the lesser-known members.

Holbytlass · 09-02-2006, 03:33 PM

Is it narfforc? He talked of being hippy on another thread.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-04-2006, 02:15 AM

Nilp?
He's pretty hip. Although, I know of few people who hate him for it... He did start the Mount Zoom Challenge, though... that's probably reason enough.

Kath · 09-04-2006, 10:25 AM

Hookbill, I just read that as 'Nilp is pretty'. Gave me pause for thought for a moment!

Hmm, what about old Roggie of Morgoth? He seems pretty hip, whether he's controlled by HI or Fea.

Gil-Galad · 09-04-2006, 12:01 PM

no no no, think of lesser-known downers, you will probably have to look this one up in the...i don't know, the members list! use its features! it will be staring right at you when you see it.

hint: look for red

Laiudanama · 09-04-2006, 03:56 PM

Alright....bigbrotherfan? She/He (I'm guessing a she) is certainly in the red, and she has Nikki from Big Brother as her avatar, so...?

Diamond18 · 09-04-2006, 05:42 PM

Or fairychick101 perhaps?

My other guess would be **sparkle fairy**

Gil-Galad · 09-04-2006, 07:42 PM

Diamond has it, the most neg repped member of this forum...

Diamond18 · 09-05-2006, 12:58 AM

Thank you, Gil.

I'm a million different people from one day to the next

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-05-2006, 02:37 AM

That is a line from Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve.

Encaitare's PT is Bittersweet Symphony.

So it must be Encaitare.

Diamond18 · 09-05-2006, 05:53 AM

Correct you are, PanMan.

I was kind of hoping the numerical aspect would serve as a red herring to those not familiar with the song, but oh well.

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-05-2006, 07:34 AM

Well, since it is one of my all-time favourite songs (and, indeed, PTs), there was no chance of sneaking it past me ...

Next up:

Sounds like a chip off the old block.

Rune Son of Bjarne

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 09-05-2006, 09:09 AM

Potatothan.

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-06-2006, 04:41 AM

Nope. Neither of those, I am afraid. Hookbill is thinking along the right lines though.

Rune's name suggests that he is a "chip off the old block" in the sense that I am thinking. But you need to consider the relevance of the words "Sounds like ...".

Hmmm... I'm going to say: Child of the 7th Age , as 'Of the' sounds a little like 'off the'... and being a 'child' and all that...

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-07-2006, 06:32 AM

Nope. "Sounds like ..." has its cryptic clue meaning.
