Yes, the Barrow-Wight posted that on the first page, but since a lot of people seem to have trouble with viewing early pages (

), here is the link for it again. A very useful FAQ...enjoy.

Gosh, but in my absence the deck of Cirdan's ship has become quite crowded!

Greetings to Child of the Seventh Age and Bethberry on coming aboard.

It's always nice to have gender parity. Makes the dances a whole heck of a lot more fun. What with davem's beard ticking my cheek and the sound of Saucy's pans drowning out the music it was rather gruesome.

I'm just off to the cellars. Can I fetch anyone another drink?

It takes something big to get my buttons pushed too Hookbill. For instance, someone telling you you're wrong, but doesn't show anything to back it up. That was the one time I believe.

I get irked about people who give negative rep, but don't leave their names. I'm not going to bite you, if I admit sometimes I deserve being reprimmanded, atleast have the guts to put your name down, it's not like I'll have a personal vendetta.

Ah, but really?

Just kidding. Fortunately, I have given no negative rep as of yet (nor received one, whew!) Perhaps it just irks me that the outside world recognises our faults more than our progress, and I'd be more than glad to play my part to make this a place where the opposite is true.

Or perhaps you're just too lazy to switch the options.

I've only posted two negative reps. I signed both. One was directed at a member who was making every effort to obnoxiously shoot down a really good thread. The other one was at a randomly-lettered n00b who posted some thread or another called "adult" something-or-other. My initial thought being "what the...?" I clicked the thread and realized it was some perv with no clue on how things are done around here. And so, in the grand scheme of things, he/she got a "Get a life. This site is family-friendly. ~Fea" before Esty (very quickly) made the thread nonexistant.

Eruanna has shown the wisdom of Gandalf or so it says when I hover my mouse over the little green coloured icons.
There are two little icons under my name and yet other members have also shown the wisdom of Gandalf and there are more icons under their names. It's no biggie, but I don't quite get it.

Thank you, by the way to those people who have said that they appreciated my few humble posts in 'Books'. I have recently returned to the 'Downs and having also just re-read the trilogy, I'm finding a bit more to say, and a little more courage than when I was previously a regular here!

100 rep pts= 1 green Jewel (until you start getting higher up then it's like 200 pts or something like that). Then every so often you get a title change. I think once you get to 4 little jewlies you'll get the "fame of Frodo" title. Then 6 is "you would be welcome at Aragorn's court." So yes, some people may have more jewels and still the same title...
