Congrats Fordim! I like it very much, sounds very cool to say. I was repeating it to myself earlier.

Nice one Fordim....wait a minute? Didn't you already have a title? Did you change titles, or have I been drinking too much ent draught?

No Perky, I did not have an official title before -- "Fordim the Magnificent" was merely what I called myself!
 And thanks for your compliments re the sound of the title, Firefoot. I thought a good sounding title would be appropriate -- "Cellar Door!"

I must admit that, when I had very few posts, I was much concerned with a future PT, but then, when the PM came today, I had forgotten about it. I also regret to say that I forgot Fordim's fabulous title suggestion (which will remain unmentioned). Now, I merely have what I have. I'm rather fond of it, though. I always liked the alliteration fad in PT's. Many just struck me as neat. The only one I've EVER had to consult a dictionary about was Diamond18's 'Eidolon of a Took.' To this day 'Desultory Dwimmerlaik' is one of my favorites. I can't remember who it was that had 'Folly of Starlight' but I really like that one. Fordim, is it just me, or did we both get titled on the same day? I didn't see your 'Gibbering Gibbet' before today, and I got mine via PM this morning. Seeing your title makes me think of Saruman's speech in The Voice of Saruman. I always enjoyed that, because I'm so attached to that polychromatic Istar. P.S. Son of Numenor, kudos on being the first person in a long time to have a PT before reaching 500 posts. I can only assume that you have it because you're technically a mod, but I must admit that I like it, and can't hide the greenery in me. Mea culpa.

I did indeed get it because I'm a mod. In that way, I feel inferior to other owners of a title. I can only hope that, when the BD administration really feels I am deserving of special recognition, they will send me a congratulatory PM.

Gibbering Gibbet...wow...try saying that five times fast!
Wait... Nevermind, it's not that hard. Okay, anyway, I definitely like your new one, Fordim, and congrats! You too, Kransha! My favorites...well... Scent of Simbelmyne – Sophia - (Just pretend the cute little double-dot is there above the 'e') I love this one because it just seems kind of nostalgic to me. Stormdancer of Doom – mark12_30 - I love thunderstorms, and just the thought of dancing through storms amuses me.  As far as the alliteration fad...I, too, hopped on that bandwagon after enjoying the splendidly alliterated PTs of others. -Aylwen

Now I am officially afraid of you ubiquitous presence.Another good alliteritive one (whilst some of you are on the subject) is VanimaEdhel's Ethereal Enchantress. B-W's new Night in Wight Satin is pretty cool.

Favourites are:
Spirit of the Lonely Star Brightness of a Blade Desultory Dwimmerlaik ....... Deadnight Chanter (so intriguing that the explanation was a disappointment....  )

Eomer, Auspicious Wraith, very nice!
When I become eligible for a title I have considered the following; King of the world (as Melkor named himself) Lord of the citadel Master of Fates The a cursed Long deceased The Wight with no name.

But why doesn't Davem have a special title despite having the highest reputation on the downs? Is it a matter of conscience perhaps ... like refusing a Knighthood?

It is perfect, Fordim. I love all the alliterative ones I've seen: Saucey's Corpus Cacophonous, Kransha's newly-acquired Ubiquitous Urulóki, and piosenniel's Desultory Dwimmerlaik, to name a few. This one may take the cake, though I don't know how many of your contribution to this forum can be written off as 'gibbering'.
