If that happened, the forum would fall apart.

One day,

Mount Zoom will be a message icon.

Oh, and The Off-Topic Owl will be awarded an OBE.

Gil-Galad · 01-01-2006, 01:47 PM

Boromir88 will reveal that the reason why he has such a high rep count is because he is actually Davem, Eomer and Saucey in disguise

also

Gil-Galad will make a return to the Werewolf Games to confuse the fair citizens of whereever they are this time...

Oddwen · 01-01-2006, 09:42 PM

How appropriate to revive this for the New Year!

2006 will bring:

1. Twelve more variations of Werewolf. Barrowdowners against Flaming Fangirls, anyone?

2. Eleven more positive rep boxes, including the appropriate levels, including XX Is A Raving Lunatic, XX Needs To Get Out Of The House More, and XX Is Probably Reading LotR At This Very Moment.

3. Ten more pages in Crazy Captions per week. This is probably an understatement.

4. There will be Nine more engagements in the coming year. There will be debate wether Sauron is holding their rings or not.

5. The Eight new polls of Fordim Hedgethistle will do very well.

6. Seven people will join within an hour of each other on May ninth. They will all be friends of Morm and they'll be there for "Werewolf VL: When Monkeys Shoot At You".

7. Six more people will sign up for the Walk to Rivendell. Only a third of their number will get anywhere near.

8. Five BD'er meetups (besides the engagements) will happen this year. Esty will be present at three.

9. Four new posts in the New Movie Script will be added. Only one is not Meneltarmacil's, and he finally ends the romp with

Menel: Well, that's the end. *throws bricks at Nilp and Oddwen* You guys are no fun anymore! *runs away crying*

10. Three topics concerning Legolas will be started up. Only two will be shut down however, as one of them is a Fordie poll.

11. It'll be two years before two certain agencies come to an agreement and The Hobbit will be in production.

12. We will continue to be One great site. The One Great Site to Rule Them All.

Happy New Year, my dear friends!

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-02-2006, 04:23 AM

There will appear a group called "CoBDaGGU" Or "Citizens of the Barrow Downs against Gandalf the Grey Uncloaked". They will stage protests against this abomination. However, they will all get run over by Mount Zoom.

Someone will one day make an animated TV series of the Barrow Downs. It will chronicle the adventures of the Barrow Wight and his moderators as they attempt to rid the Downs of 'Trolls'. It will be cancelled after the pilot.

Eluchíl · 01-02-2006, 04:43 AM

*high-pitched voice* In the year two-thouuuusaaaand...

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-02-2006, 08:31 AM

I predict that the record-length "Reunification of the Entish Bow" RPG will finally finish in 2006. Am I willing to bet on it? Not any substantial sum...

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-02-2006, 09:40 AM

I will start a group called "CoBDpGGU" Or "Citizens of the Barrow Downs pro Gandalf the Grey Uncloaked".

Lalwendë · 01-02-2006, 11:48 AM

Mystic Meg (what happened to her?) predicts that in the year 2006 at least one Barrow-downer will attend a Tolkien convention costumed as Gandalf The Grey, Uncloaked.

Lhunardawen · 01-03-2006, 07:29 AM

Most, if not all, BDers will learn to correctly spell Philippines.

Ano ba naman kayo?!

EDIT: People might be misled, so I changed the spelling to the truly correct one.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-03-2006, 08:22 AM

dancing spawn of ungoliant will eat her first husband.

And her second husband.

And her third.

And her fourth.

(You probably get the picture now.)

Soon, she will grow to an enormous size, and she will take refuge in some mountains on the borders of some dark realm, where a skinny once-hobbit (obviously, this person is vertically challenged) will take a ring from her in exchange for two plump hobbits. She agrees.

Spiders win!!!

Probably . . .

In the future, I will be able to attribute such madness to drunkeness. Or more probably not.

Glirdan · 01-03-2006, 09:17 PM

I see the return of one little, blue butterfly and her younger, ugly, smelly brother, Wayne!!

I also see an end to the madness of Survivor!

I also predict that The Oxymoron of the Down's will return from his long absence.

the guy who be short · 01-08-2006, 07:38 AM

People will comment on the conspicuous double absence of the phantom and Fea.

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-08-2006, 07:41 AM

After finally going completely insane, Hookbill the Goomba will start speaking in the third person and then go and attach wheels to Mount Saint Helens.

And will start forming bizarre speculations...

They both decided to take an actual trip to Mordor for inspiration!

They're visiting the ruins of some destroyed Tol-in-Gaurhoth village!

They want to see how much BDers will miss them!

It's BD engagement number two (or three)!!!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-09-2006, 11:25 AM

I'd buy it.

Lhunardawen · 01-23-2006, 02:42 AM

the guy who be short's numerous names will soon include the guy who be shrunk. Initially, he will be the guy who be shocked with this, but eventually he will learn to just (be) the guy who be snort at it.

After spending a lot of time binging on the famous potion pizzas from a village called Dol-in-Gaurhoth, he will become the guy who be stout. When he tries to get out from his house, he will realize that he's the guy who be stuck.

In a future Werewolf game he will decide to follow the footsteps of Formendacil and Kath and volunteer to be the village gongfarmer, where he will be more popularly known as the guy who be stunk.

I actually thought about doing that my self. I guess I will have to settle for the Mount Zoom Jokes.

Esgallhugwen · 01-25-2006, 04:05 PM

Esgallhugwen will emerge from the shadowy depths of RL to return to her beloved Barrow Downs. Oh....wait....I guess that already happened the other day. Tee hee.

Eswen and Gil-Galad will eventually meet face to face.

If I ever join another werewolf game I will not die by choking on a tree frog.

Ditto, so I'll say

Rune and Farael will start a neg-repping campaign against Mt. Zoom

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-29-2006, 07:43 AM

One day, Balrog wingers and non-wingers will join hands in peace and dance around in happiness before all being wiped out by an army of Bombadill theorists.

And

One day, someone will mass produce T-shirts saying "I've seen Gandalf the Grey uncloaked"

the guy who be short · 02-01-2006, 03:08 PM

Daga will be absorbed into everyday Downsian.

malkatoj · 02-01-2006, 03:35 PM

I predict that, eventually, everyone will learn everyone else's gender and we won't have any more "In her post, Hookbill said..." or anything like that. Werewolf mods will no longer have to include gender in the list of characters, and no one will ever again be surprised by the photo page or embarrased at a silly mistake.

Yeah, that's gonna happen.

Glirdan · 02-01-2006, 06:47 PM

One day, I will actually be brave enough and attempt to post in the Cbc threads. Eventually...

I also predict that us Canadian B-Der's will have that convention!!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-02-2006, 07:57 PM

Today's theme is Downer weddings.

The next Downer wedding will happen after some person assigns the other person's hometown/city to Mordor. You know who you are.

The Downer wedding after that will happen between some person who rented out her sig to other Downers and some person who can't sign reps perfectly and whose birthday happened to be approaching at the time the said improperly-given rep is given.

Adam!

Roa_Aoife · 02-02-2006, 09:50 PM

I predict that someday I'll randomly meet another Downer simply because I'm wearing that t-shirt.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 02-16-2006, 04:07 PM

I predict that on monday a member will leave the Barrow-Downs for about 3 months, only maybe visiting once in a while, when he can find the time and internet conection.

Well maybe that was more of an announsment. . . Don't we have a thread for that kind of stuff, we should have.

I allso predict that a group wich goes under the name NR will take over the downs within 2 years.

and

Soon every member will speak (and write) at least 2 languages, in turn this means that no one would dream of writting in english unless they want to be the laughing stock of the entire site.

Thinlómien · 02-23-2006, 08:57 AM

This year...
- both my sister and a friend of mine will join the 'downs
- Númenorean Blood Runs Black RPG is finished before July 1st
- I will participate in a non-junior WW-game

Also...
- All 'downers are given the option to make polls and the 'downs are overrun by a poll flood
- Record amount of 'downers will get a pt
- Record amound of 'downers won't get a life .......

After the "What's your favourite Poll?" Poll, The Moderators create a whole new forum just for polls.

This Year:

Crazy Captions will celebrate its 10,000th post and be closed due to the amount of memory it takes up. "Crazy Captions Part II – Uncloak This!" will be released in mid June.
"The Never Ending Poem" will end.

Next Year:
The Barrow Wight will issue an order that the week including 22nd of September will be known as "Bucket Week". This annual event will be celebrated by all Downers having a bucket related avatar, signature or location for that week.
Shortly after, Lord Wight is put back on the medication.

Lalwendë · 03-14-2006, 03:32 PM

I predict that in about 40 posts from now, Crazy captions will spontaneously combust as its clock goes over the 10,000 mark. Night will turn into day. Orcses will be turned back into Elvses. Elvses will be turned into Elvises. And Gandalf's cloak will be caught beneath the wheels of Mount Zoom.

I'm thinking of setting up a book on who gets the first post of the next 10,000 in. Odds on Mr Hookbill are evens.
