Know Yer Mates, or a Member Above You
I'm in two minds as to where the following thread may belong, but, as it deals with people, it seems to suit in this here subforum more. Nevertheless, I'll gladly accept the decision to move it to Mirth in case such a decision is made.
So far with preliminaries, let me explain what it is all about. This is a kind of game I've spotted on another board, and there, in its turn, it appeared from somewhere else (the source was not provided). It was quite to my liking, so I've decided it would be nice to have something of the kind here too. The gist of the thing is as follows: The participants get to know other members of the board, having some fun along (I hope) The goal is achieved by providing fact or two about the author of the immediately preceding post. The facts which are exposed may be deducted out of author's other writings, found out by visiting member's profile or his/her homepage. Any information will do, but with a proviso - personal information, not otherwise published by the person you deal with, should not be revealed w/out permission (i.e., if you happen to know some of BD members IRL, do not reveal address, real name, age or any other information unless you know the person won't object). So, participant number one gets 'squeled on' by participant number two, the latter, in turn, undergoes similar 'informing' by number three and so forth endlessly, unless we are bored or members run short There is no prohibition on joining the thread several times, just try to have several posts in between your appearences. Let's say, 10 posts in between would be just to the T. I will break said rule for the first time, just to let you have an example of what I'm driving to, so post number two will be by yours truly again Let's go!

let's pretend it's not me, but virtual 'participant #2' :)
HerenIstarion lives in Georgia, and he's real name is George Lashkhi (see, I've just read the post above me and seen it all there)
When abroad, practical jokers he happens to meet always refer to him as 'George from Georgia'. Corny joke, to his taste (that is personal information which is not published, but I happen to know H-I won't object if I inform you about it) He works in a bank (seen in his user profile) ======================================== Now I hope all's clear. The comments concerning the source of the information I've made in brackets are not mandatory. Join in and have fun. And no flaming! - ask each other by PM to remove/edit something which is not to your liking, and do it in a courteous way cheers

HerenIstarion is 26 years old and was one of the very early members of the Barrow-Downs forum, since he joined almost four years ago. He can speak several languages, including Russian, and his English gets better all the time!

(As a member who remembers a lot of older threads here, I'd like to add a couple of links as source material for this thread:
The masks of inscrutability All About You (Part 2) (also look for Part 1) Tolkien Coming of Age Club 2 (also part 1 as well as the Middle-Age and Teen Club threads) ...and the various regional threads, all here on the Barrow-Downs forum. That gives you plenty of extra information to use, at least for those people who posted there!)

Estelyn Telcontar
Estelyn walks. And walks and walks and walks. Just look at the number by her name, and you'll see an incredible 1350 miles. Perhaps it is even higher as you read this.
If I recall correctly, her title, The Ghosted Princess, comes from the fact that for a time she had difficulties remaining in the chat room, constantly being disconnected. The problem was so persistent, that she cleverly used the /ghost command to chase away the lingering remains of her nick that would stay in the chatroom after such rude disconnections. It is one of my favorite titles on the Downs.

First drop-down of the system :)
Well, not yet ten posts after my previous, but I have to correct the course, so I'm in as an emergency mechanic type of guy - as InklingElf was, accidentally, dropped out the chain. Please note that next person to post should provide the facts about the Barrow-Wight, not me
=========================== So, InklingElf lives in San Francisco,CA, studies arts and flies kites in her free-time, is a little bit sarcastic sometimes, and probably expresses her sarcasm into her writing, which she does a lot too =========================== Don't forget, next participant does the Barrow-Wight, not me

Despite her name, sixteen year old American Downer Feanor is female, and seems to reside largely in Middle Earth Mirth.
No nonsense but with a generous sense of humour, Feanor is no fan of makeup. Has a toy bunny rabbit called Jaime

I can do you one better, Mith. You're a Miami-based lawyer and sports enthusiast. And you're probably hoping that Gary Sheffield will break a leg or A-Rod will unexpectedly retire and go soul-searching in East Asia... preferably before the playoffs roll around.

I reckon Gil-galad is next up.... He is 6"2 which is a bit scary since he isn't yet 15 and is a Scorpio. He is a very efficient "sheep dog" on the quiz board and his own questions can be fiendish

Morsul is very persistent (especially in the Quiz Room). He's a Downsalholic and hangs around the Downs too much for his own good. In fact, he should be doing his homework right about now, instead of hanging around ME Mirth. He loves the LOTR movies and hasn't read the Silm yet. He also likes Harry Potter.
EDIT: Right, hehe, no HW in summer. Fine season, summer.

So this would be...Gil Galad who I am doing now? Hmm, well being as he has posted here rather frequently over the last page...
Gil Galad is searching for a Trogdor avatar (sorry, I have nothing...)

Imladris is a student; she loves the Harry Potter books and got a movie poster for that reason. She wishes she had green eyes. (source of info: I know where she blogs! )

It's fun to go dig up inforformation about people. More so than I thought it would be anyway. Esty, I can't find much, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.
Estelyn first got her LotR book from her boyfriend 31 years ago, and she still has it. |

Morsul is named Andrew, much to Fea of the P.'s chagrin. He also posted only 8 times a couple days ago.

Hey. this is too much fun to pass up....
Gil-galad likes to lift weights and plays hockey, which potentially makes him a very dangerous guy when he gets mad! ~Child
