Well, Gil-Galad, just like life, death is what you make of it. Right?

Gil-Galad · 07-24-2004, 03:47 PM

meh...i guess the dead make good fighters, don't disobey commands, don't run away from dragons and they don't stop fighting after a random body part falls off

Thorongil · 07-24-2004, 03:48 PM

Ok, Morgy, just a question: What's PPC?

There you have it Gil-Galad. Death isn't so bad after all is it?

Gil-Galad · 07-24-2004, 03:51 PM

yeah that last part comes in handy i guess... body projectiles!!!

Morgul Queen · 07-24-2004, 04:12 PM

The PPC. *settles down in chair for a long explaination* All of you who already know this, just pass this post by.

I suppose that you know of Fanfiction? *sees nods and continues* Well, there's such thing as Bad!Fic. Really Bad!Fic. Like Celebrian...*shudders*

Anyway, you know of the dreaded Mary-sue, right? The 'perfect' girl who comes into a story and makes all the canon characters fall in love with her.

Quote:

'Oh, Legolas,' Princess SugarPlumFairy of Random Flying Forest sighed. 'Willest thou lovest me forever?'

You know the type. They're horrible and will send canon characters out of character too.

Quote:

Legolas smiled bashfully. 'Foreverest my love. I willest lovest thou forever.'

Occassionally they use bad english like the bits above.

The PPC hunts them down, kills them and restores the plot. PPC stands for Protectors of the Plot Continuum. Several other departments deal with different offenses, bad geography, acts of violence, and my department deals with Silmarillion canon violations.

That's the PPC explained. If you want to find out more, go here: PPC Site

Thorongil · 07-24-2004, 07:18 PM

Seems like you're doing a most needed job. Keep up the good work!

Arie · 08-03-2004, 04:24 PM

I'm not exactly a new member as you all can see -- but I haven't been on the Downs for the longest time and I feel like a newbie. Certainly many things have changed since the mentioned 'renovation' of the forum and I'd just like to say hi to those active members who have been posting.

Gil-Galad · 08-03-2004, 05:02 PM

*kills the witch-kings "dragon" cause its not suppose to be there and gives him a Fell Beast*

Witch-King · 08-04-2004, 12:46 AM

*Stabs Gil-Galad with his poisoned daggar*

"Oh whatever. Now, get out of THAT, if you can..."

ohtatyaro · 08-04-2004, 01:20 AM

Now pick after yourselves, fellaz

We don't need rotting dragon-corpses lying around, do we?

01-22-2005, 01:51 PM

Elenny dragged me in here...
As y'all can see, my name is Falkor.
Not Fally. Not Korry. Not Falky. FAL-KOR. Calling me anything other than Falkor upsets the voices in our head.
Actually, I'm just kidding...
A little bit about me: I look to Gollum for inspiration. I refuse to acknowledge the Khyber that killed Chewbacca.
I am admittedly more obsessed with Star Wars than anything else.
I am admittedly equally obessed with extremely H.O.T. British guys.
I like Tea, and crumpets.
My favorite non-fandom movie is Rocket Man.
I am not easily frightened, except when it comes to the mental images Elenny is always putting in my head.
I talk a lot, and I hate pink.
*sits in corner, and plots to terrorize Elenny and Splatzy*

Nukapei · 01-22-2005, 01:53 PM

Welcome, Fally! Hehe, just kidding, Falkor. I said just kidding . . . just kidding!

Anyway, welcome to The Barrow-Downs, and enjoy your death!

misty's hopping mt. · 01-22-2005, 01:55 PM

alright nukapei sounds like a good idea

elronds_daughter · 01-22-2005, 02:02 PM

Welcome to the 'Downs, Falkor and misty's hopping mt.! Enjoy your deaths!

Gil-Galad · 01-22-2005, 02:05 PM

i don't know about pink... if you ask me, chicks who try to get my attention always end up wearing pink...

oh yea, welcome FAL-KOR

12-21-2005, 05:17 PM

I am new to the site obviously and am just saying hey to all of ya.

Gil-Galad · 12-21-2005, 05:24 PM

Welcome Black Rider of Angmar

Rune Son of Bjarne · 12-21-2005, 05:36 PM

Welcome Rider of Angmar I hope you will enjoy your death here at the Downs. . .

If want to use this infinety of time you have, why not try out The Quiz Room or maybe a game of Werewolf is more to your liking. Anyways I look foreward to see you around.

- Rune

12-21-2005, 09:39 PM

Death? Cheerful people...thanks I hope to be a regular here. Maybe. Have to explore this one.

Ohtariel · 09-29-2010, 09:18 PM

Well hello all.

I'm Ohtariel. I'm currently in the market for a new place to RP and new people to RP with, so hopefully I won't have to look any further. It has been a long search. One I would be glad to end.

I'm 20 years old now, but have been rpg since I was 12 or 13... can't remember now. I'd like to think my writing has improved since then, but I'm never quite satisfied with my posts so I'll let you guys be the judge of that. Not that you have any of my writing from when I first started... thank good ness. No comparisons!

And thats enough of that.

Your RPG rules look rather complex but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. Just gotta sit down with some coffee. Anywho! Looking forward to meeting you all.

Mithalwen · 09-30-2010, 04:27 AM

Welcome! A shield maiden I presume!!

RPG is a bit quiet at the moment (must knuckle down to a post today) but I for one would love it to be more lively. Usually you start at the Golden Perch ... but that was stymied by an anachronistic post.. maybe if there are a few people interested we could ask for an advancement in time to give a break from the old plot lines and make a fairly fresh start? Otherwise you could go to the Meadhall but I don't know what is going on there ..

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-30-2010, 07:56 AM

Welcome Ohtariel,

I hope you will find a suitable place here in our barrow and that you will make new friends among the dead.

Personally I hope to see you in the Mirth section.

Galadriel · 10-11-2010, 01:11 AM

Welcome xMellrynxMaidenx! Enjoy being dead, and don't complain if someone has more worms than you do

Alkanoonion · 10-12-2010, 11:21 PM

Mae Govannen,
Well it’s been 2 years since my last post; I have been lurking but just have not had much time to contribute. I hope to rectify that with my renewed love of all things Tolkien.

I have just started to reread the Sil < my E-mail account got a message from the sil project dating back to 2008…and it made me want to reread the series.

Anyway I hope to be a more productive member of the community so if you want to chat send me a pm.

Oh and welcome xMellrynxMaidenx! I am sure you will get years of enjoyment from the downs, I know I have

Thinlómien · 10-13-2010, 09:48 AM

Welcome back, Alk.

MisterMelkor · 05-24-2013, 08:13 AM

Hi,
Greetings to ya! No doubt I am going to make many mistakes because I am new to online crowding (surprisingly we had no Internet where I come from).
I like the look of this Forum and am glad that you accepted me as a new member.
Lord of the rings is amazing, and I am a great fan of all the Tolkien books (especially The Silmarillion and the Hobbit) as well the films and the whole lot of Merchandise (luv the Action figures).
My Hobbies are reading, writing, making Music (piano, guitar and the harp), customizing models, gardening and collecting weather data from 30 years ago (I´ve got a nice collection of cumulus clouds).
Well there is actually Little else that might interest you, except that I am working as a freelancer and I am quiet good at cooking (in case we should ever meet as friends).

That´s it,
yours sincerely
MM

Inziladun · 05-24-2013, 09:55 AM

Well met indeed, MisterMelkor!

This excellent forum is always looking for more Tolkien Geeks.

I look forward to seeing you around.

It's agreed, then - the next Barrow-Downs moot will be held at your place!

Welcome, and enjoy being dead.

Galadriel55 · 05-24-2013, 02:32 PM

Thirded! Welcome, MisterMelkor! We don't bite. Well, not much anyway.

Pervinca Took · 05-24-2013, 03:02 PM

I'm only fairly recently dead myself, but it's always great to see new members. Welcome indeed, MisterMelkor and Ardent!

(I'd feel a bit cheeky welcoming back monks, because he would have been here before I was).
