Who’s got the best Title? (Do I hear some Nominees?) - Page 5 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lhunardawen · 02-25-2005, 05:28 AM

Wow...beautiful title, that. Fits the avatar, too.

Oh, and yours is great too, Sophia. I wonder what simbelmynë smells like...

Lindolirian · 03-15-2005, 09:05 PM

NightKnight's Lost among the Stars
Goes right well with his avatar.

Firefoot · 05-25-2005, 03:44 PM

I just noticed Hookbill the Goomba's (new?) title: "Alive without breath." Nice choice.

Does that mean we get to start calling you "Fisssh"?

Thanks Firefoot! It is new, but no, I am no fish... I'm a Wight, they are alive without breath aren’t they?

Firefoot · 05-25-2005, 04:04 PM

I reckon so.

(And here I thought I had found another someone having identity issues like myself...

)

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-25-2005, 04:06 PM

Its nice to know I'm not alone.

Gil-Galad · 05-25-2005, 04:08 PM

Time for a scientific lesson my dear Firefoot, Fish breath the air molcules in the water, so indeed fish breath, that will be all, i expect your term papers in by the end of this week

Professor Tor Coolguy

AKA

Gil-"Not single anymore"Galad

Firefoot · 05-25-2005, 04:17 PM

Actually, if you want to be technical about it, fish don't breathe air molecules in the water; they breathe Oxygen molecules in the water.

But this also completely defeats the point of the "alive without breath" comment.

Now, so that this is moderately on topic, I will also comment that I am a fan of Aman's "Shadow of Starlight."

Amanaduial the archer · 05-25-2005, 04:46 PM

Terribly good of you to do so, dear chap. Rather fond of it m'self

No, seriously, cheers, Firefoot.

My last personal favourite of the moment is probably Aylwen Dreamsong's 'Melody of Misery'. It's so melancholy (all in for the ol' alliteration today) and the music... it just conjures to mind something beautiful, yet so painfully sad. Well, I like it anyhoo.

Mithalwen · 05-26-2005, 11:59 AM

I like Oddwen's drummer in the deep... an appropriately mysterious Tolkien reference

Encaitare · 05-26-2005, 01:15 PM

Both those titles do sound rather mysterious... I like them.

elronds_daughter · 05-27-2005, 06:09 AM

I've always been fond of Encai's... Bittersweet Symphony brings memories to me..... I'm not precicely sure why, but it does.

Lhunardawen · 05-29-2005, 10:33 PM

Congratulations, Hookbill and Oddwen! Fine choices, let me say.

Nimrodel_9 · 06-01-2005, 06:44 PM

Ah... Just something I haven't yet figured out. How do I get a personal title?

By all reports, you wait for the Admins to offer you the option....

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-02-2005, 02:21 AM

According to the pm Lord Wight sent to me to offer me a personal title, you need over 501 posts and to have a place at Elrond's council. And of course, you need to be offered one.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-03-2005, 05:19 AM

This is what the Barrow Wight told me;

Quote:

You sit on Elrond's council, yet you don't have a Personal Title under your name. Would you like one?

So, that's where I get my information.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-03-2005, 06:34 AM

The general requirements are 500+ posts and a record of solid contributions to the Downs. A high Rep rating is a good indication of the latter.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-03-2005, 06:56 AM

Thanks Saucepan... Thaucepan.

Lhuna's is absolutely beautiful, and inspires such sad, beautiful images: Hauntress of the Havens.

Firefoot · 06-03-2005, 10:52 AM

Yes, I agree, Lhuna's is very nice. Hauntingly beautiful.

And Oddwen's too, who I just noticed. So now we know who the mysterious drummer is...

One more thing:

Gender mix-ups. Fun stuff. Perhaps we should start a thread to let people know what we are.

Yes, I think Lhuna's is one of my favorites. Very beautiful.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 06-09-2005, 01:20 AM

I just realized yesterday when I was reading TTT that Hookbill's title is from Gollum's poem.

"Alive without breath;
as cold as death...

Very smooth!

Saurreg · 06-09-2005, 02:25 AM

LMP has a great title. Bard Oder.... hehehe.

If Amanaduial the archer changes her title to "The brightness of starlight" then it would suit her intelligence and personality very well. You are far too precious to be in the shadow of anything my dear.

Encaitare - Are you by any chance a listener of The Verve?

Thanks Spawn... Thawn... Never mind.

Well, it was either that or "King of the World" but I didn't think Lord Wight would appreciate it.

Although I'm considering changing it to "Wizard in a call centre" but its a long time off.

Unless you were just here a really long time. At this point, I haven't been on this board in who knows how long. Now just today, my 18th birthday, I decided to pop back in to see what was going on. I'm more of an Ephemeral Enchantress and and Ethereal one - coming back for a few posts, disappearing again, coming back. I haven't had a steady wave of posts in a long time. I did a few years ago, when I was posting regularly.

Without hoppa, it just hasn't been the same on here, to be honest - even though it's been so long, it's still hard for me to be back.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-01-2005, 10:11 PM

Congrats to:

dancing spawn of ungoliant (Mischievous Candle)

the guy who be short (Shadowed Prince)

mormegil (Maundering Mage)

The Only Real Estel (Raffish Rapscalion)

and to any other I may have missed! Congratulations!

Encaitare · 09-01-2005, 10:35 PM

Congrats, all! I like "Raffish Rapscalion" best.

Gurthang · 09-01-2005, 11:54 PM

Congratulations morm, TORE, TGWBS, and dancing spawn!

I'm rather partial to Maundering Mage. (Although I don't know what Maundering means.)

dancing spawn: Does yours mean anything significant? It is kind of confusing me.

Also, I just looked up Scion in the dictionary, and so I must say I really like yours Nilp. I liked it before, but now that I understand it, I like it even better.

the guy who be short · 09-02-2005, 06:01 AM

My personal favourite out of the new four is also Raffish Rapscallion, even though I tend to associate "Rapscallion" with Eomer so I'm probably going to screw that up sometime in the future!

It rolls off the tongue too.

I like all of them, though. Maundering Mage, the other alliterative one, should, in my opinion, have been Maundering Monkey though.

Or 'Aundering Ape?

Mischievous Candle... I don't know why I like that. It brings to mind a beautifully fluttering flame, that might be why. Fire is lovely to watch, though less pleasant to touch.

I had to look up Raffish, Maundering and Scion too, so don't worry, Gurthang, you're not the only one with an abysmal vocabulary! And yes, that did make me appreciate Nilp's PT more, even if it does imply that all the rest of us are heretics...

Oddwen · 09-02-2005, 08:31 AM

Congrats to all! I assume, D-spawn, that your "candle" is a ref to the Dead Marshes?

But my favorite has to (still) be Hookbill's "Alive Without Breath". That's just...teh aw3somenessxors!

Thanks Oddwen! The Drummer in the Deep is among my favourites also, it’s so great! I probably would have stolen it if you did not already have it.

The Only Real Estel · 09-02-2005, 08:45 AM

Quote:

I had to also...& I had to double-check on rapscalion.

Two of my faves would have to be Drummer in the Deep & Bringer of the Red Dawn.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 09-02-2005, 09:25 AM

Thanks guys.

I looked up those difficult words in a dictionary, too.
