Who’s got the best Title? (Do I hear some Nominees?)
Since the ‘Best Avatars’ *sniff sniff* was closed *glances mischievously at the Barrow Wight* just before I was about to vote there, well, here’s a replacement.
OK, some members here have some titles just under their nick. Now, who do you think has the best one? I say Morham’s (I think it’s Morham, forgive me if it’s wrong  [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] “Dead and Loving It’ is rather cute.

Capitalist Spectre is Thenamir.
Nobody's yet mentioned Heren Istarion's: Deadnight Chanter Mithadan's: Spirit of Mist Mark 12_30's: Stormdancer of Doom or, I've decided my very favorite- Gilthalion's: Hobbitus Emeritus Sophia [ May 20, 2003: Message edited by: Sophia the Thunder Mistress ]

I found a few more, but can only remember one at the moment.
Eru's Gift I had never seen Suldaledhel before I found only this one post of his/hers.

Bêthberry's Cryptic Aura has to be my favorite.
You really like mine? You should have seen me going through the thesaurus thinking of various combinations of names with alliteration. I wanted to get "enchantress" in there though, and "ethereal" is a very good word.

I used the thesaurus to find my PT, as well. Only, it wasn't for the PT, it was a few months back when I was writing a scene in a novel, and I'd used every similie for ghost that I knew, and just needed one more term... And I thought the word was so cool, I committed it to memory for future usage. E words rock. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

No, you cannot. I'm not sure if it will change when we get a large, large amount of people who have been around for a long time (you'd have to ask Barrow-Wight that one), but I do know that now, no matter how many you have, once you have a personal title, it does not change.

SOPHIA! BEREN! Congratulations! Both of your titles are great.

I sent out several PMs about PTs that went unanswered. I wonder if people aren't chekcing their PMs or aren't answering them.

The problem is I put "the" instead of "A", which is what I wanted. Well, it's not exactly life or death! I like Aman's which is Quote:

Thanks Lyra and Eruwen.
Scent of Symbelmyne, which has been mentioned, and Master of the Secret Flame are two of the nicest newly given out, methinks.

Thank you Aman.
But, I must say my favorite is not my own, but Orual's. I didn't even think to use it..bah! "Speaker for the Dead", it works on two levels as it fits in here, plus, it's an OSC referance. Happy Birthday to me... |

I love Samwise's PT, Faithful Spirit. Goes well with the nick, doesn't it?
Congrats to Beren and Sophia! I need to speed up my posting if I'm ever going to become a Ghost Prince(ss)... Oh, and I like Sceptre of Decay as well. Squatter's isn't it?

I like The Saucepan Man's Corpus Cacophonous. And I like the other ones mentioned in the thread (excluding mine: don't want to sound arrogant).
Actually: I like Shade of Carn Dûm, even though it's an automated one. For some reason, it sounds really dramatic to say out loud...especially in a creepy voice. [ June 10, 2003: Message edited by: VanimaEdhel ]

Hostess of Spirits

Well, my votes go to some of the oldies, but goodies... those who have been around for a while:
Samwise "Faithful Spirit" because it really sums up the character of Samwise in two simple words. Lush "Fair and Cold" because I didn't realize until I re-read the books that it was an Eowyn reference... and I love that! Birdland '"Ghastly Neekerbreeker" just because I've always liked the way it sounds! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
