Mithalwen 01-28-2008 03:20 PM

But it is a strong image and suits the screen name :D

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-28-2008 04:16 PM

I like your PT Might!

I have spend alot of time thinking about what mine should be, should I ever get one, but now I cannot remember any of my ideas.

It made a great day even better, it is my mothers birthday, the whole nation has been celebrating winning the European Championship and then I come home to this :)

I am simply extatic, also because I did not expect to get one. . . .With me not being around that much anymore and all.

Valier 01-28-2008 04:24 PM

I too have been bestowed the honor of having a personal title!!! I cannot believe it!! and to top it off I will get mine at the same time as some of my favorite Downer's;)

This is going to be interesting to see what everyone picks.

Groin Redbeard 01-28-2008 05:55 PM

Congratulations to all! Exactly how do you get a title? I know it has something to do with your reputation, but I don't know exactly how it works.

Brinniel 01-28-2008 06:02 PM

Eeks...how exciting this is! I was wondering when more BDers would get PTs as it's been awhile. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone chooses. :)

I believe you have to have at least 500 posts and make a significant contribution to the forum (in quality, not just quantity). Usually members who receive a PT have been around for at least a year, though that's not always the case.

How do I get a personal title?

The best way to get an invitation to select a personal title is to distinguish yourself by making meaningful contributions to the forum. Here are some fast ways to NOT get a title:
  • Pester BW or the other moderators for one.
  • Quickly pump up your post count by posting anywhere and everywhere with low or no-content posts and topics.

Gwathagor 01-28-2008 07:04 PM

Meaningful? Blast. Sounds like it's going to be a while...

Valier 01-28-2008 07:28 PM

Hmmm this is going to be hard...I've got a few idea... what about something ww related?

What kind of title do you want? Funny, pretty, quarky?

Generally the requirment also consists of having 500 posts but some exceptions can be made as in the case of Naria as she was close to 500. It is true that you need to make yourself a name as a meaningful contributor to the forum, and at least fairly well known to an admin or mod.

And many felicitations to all the new recipients, they are well earned and deserved.

Haha. That's one of the first things I thought too.

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-29-2008 11:58 AM

Me too. . .I remember reading that the first time a month after I joined and at that point I had hardly posted outside the quiz room.

Valier 01-29-2008 01:01 PM

I have a bit of an idea...Mith I think it was you who first suggested this word to me? (Fey I mean) and it kinda works.... how about Feyline? Or something with that in it? It kinda has a ww twist (well for me anyways) and I have an ifinity for Felines as you may well have guessed about me already.

I would greatly approve of some suggestions...:D;)

oooh Oooh how about Femme Fey-line? Mith I owe you for both words...

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-29-2008 01:14 PM

I just want to remind you that my last name is Fey. . .:smokin:

Mithalwen 01-29-2008 01:34 PM

This was it.

Of course fay means an elf so you could be a fey feline fay or even a - fey feline fée fatalebut perhaps I am going to far ...

nb fée is french for fay which seems right for fatale - and sounds the same

Ah yes - my old title was lost in the forum's recent update and in the replacement process, I was allowed to change it. "Ghosted" no longer applies, since my internet access is now stable - and I rarely have time to chat nowadays anyway. So the "Princess" stayed with the addition of what I appear to be most associated with... ;) :rolleyes: :eek:

My vote goes for "fey feline fée fatale", it sounds so crazy that you must have it.:cool:

Thank you very much for that list, it makes it so much easier for me to check if a titel is already taken.

Groin Redbeard 01-31-2008 08:28 AM

:eek:Legate, you got a title! Is it new,or have I just not noticed before? Anyway it fits you perfectly!!:D

The Might 01-31-2008 10:39 AM

Ok, so I just found out that gainsay means to oppose/deny.
And I can see how this fits him especially in Quiz and lore threads.

Oddwen 01-31-2008 11:02 AM

Congratulations to the latest batch of Titlers - very nice choices from all of you so far. :D

Gil-Galad 01-31-2008 12:14 PM

lot of great titles so far.

Valier 01-31-2008 12:35 PM

here's a ww reference....how about Valier - A Furried Soul :p:rolleyes:

Lycanthropic Feline?

Mithalwen 01-31-2008 01:13 PM

But surely a werecat would be a feline fatale ;)

Naria 01-31-2008 01:40 PM

Ack! I've been racking my brain trying to think of something and I only came up with two variations: Elusive Fire or Elusive Fire Maiden, I don't think the maiden part suits me though...ugh I think I need some more help:(

Oh, and Val I think Feline Fatale would suit you wonderfully!

Elmo 01-31-2008 01:53 PM

Mine is the best, Shade of Carn Dum, it took me ages to think of.

Valier 01-31-2008 01:57 PM

Naria how about Fiery Enigma? or Enigma of Fire. I do like Elusive fire, but how about Elusive flame? just some ideas...

I do like Feline Fatale...I just can't seem to narrow down what it is exactly I want....should it be ww related? Should it be more about my personality?....Ugg this is the hardest thing to do.....My fiancee I am sure is sick of hearing different title options.

Actually I think that both Shade of Carn Dum and Ghost Prince of Cardolan are brilliant titles.

Volo 01-31-2008 02:23 PM

Valier, I still think that "Fey Feline Fée Fatale" sounds awesome.

Naria, "Elusive Fire" sounds great, though there are already several "fires" around.

Noticed that Bêthberry is "Ghost Prince of Cardolan" for some reason. :(

Why are some members listed as "Registered User"s?

Mithalwen 01-31-2008 02:28 PM

Valier, don't rush the decision, like a tattoo, it is not a decision you can change so you must be happy with it and be confident you can live with it. I am fairly sure that it isn't a time limited offer. Do you want to be defined by werewolf?

Naria, Elusive fire is good or maybe sub in spirit for maiden?

Someone suggested "untitled" once like a modern artwork..that was clever .

Kath 01-31-2008 02:54 PM

Ooh I like Valier's suggestion of Elusive Flame for Naria.

Thinlómien 02-01-2008 03:42 AM

Or what about Spirit of Elusive Flame or Spirit of Elusive Fire?

I like Macalaure's Fading Fëanorion and Legate's A Voice That Gainsayeth - there is a very MEish feel to both of them. And Volo's Silver in My Silent Heart sounds like it could be from Nightwish's lyrics, whether that be good or bad. ;)

Volo 02-01-2008 06:23 AM

Valier 02-01-2008 12:09 PM

I love all the new Titles!! They are all just brilliant and fitting for each.

I agree Mith, I am not sure I should go with a ww title, since I haven't been an overly active wwer. I think I just feel a little pressured to pick one, when I see how fast others have decided on theirs. I think I will give this time. I will not be hasty....:p I am sure something will come to me.:D I'm just so dang indecisive and impatient at the same time...what a combo:rolleyes:

Who else has yet to decide? Rune and Naria I know have not picked one yet....Am I missing someone? Are you having a hard a time as me?

Take your time Valier! At the last round I was probably the last to come up with my PT. I had a lots of ideas but they all felt somewhat vague or not just what I thought the PT should be. But when it at last came to me it was quite clear it was exactly what I wanted.

So don't take a PT which you don't feel like "That's it!" because you need to live with it from that moment on. If you don't feel something is right then drop it and wait for the next good idea. You'll recognise the one then. And you should believe it as I myself was quite sceptical about this "you'll recognise the one when you cross it" -idea but in the end I really did even if it took some time...

And just my suggestion to you:

Just make it simple... Feline Fatale, or Fatal feline... or this nice one Fey Fatale?
