Actually, she is now "dating a horrible Dunlending". Cangrats!

Gurthang · 08-21-2005, 04:57 PM

Yeah, Wilwa, that's how I read it too. How did she get up another level that quickly, that we didn't even notice her at the other level?

I think BW has completely cracked.

I honestly can't find much of a way to make all of these crazy titles fit together. If they have any kind of connection, it escapes me.

Davem is a horrible Dunlending!?

Lalwendë · 08-22-2005, 02:33 AM

That's weird - I didn't get that many points as far as I can remember? Maybe B-W is amusing himself with this?

No, davem is not a horrible Dunlending. He might be a nice Dunlending, but is only horrible when he blows his pipe smoke at me in a morning.

Gurthang · 08-22-2005, 06:54 AM

Perhaps it has something to do with PJ's roles in the movies. I've heard he played a Dunlending in TTT, and I know he was a hobbit standing in the street in the Fellowship. I don't really know where the others fit in, but if this is true, I would gues the next level is:

[BD's name] is a drowned sea rat.

Since PJ was a captain of one of the corsairs.

I think Encai figured it out.

steals taters from gaffers
wonders what happened to the system
is stalked by petty dwarves
is terrorizing the wood elves
was once misplaced by forgetful maia
descended from groveling stone-trolls
looks like a muddy-booted Baggins
dating a horrible Dunlending

At first I was convinced that there was some sort of fascinating connexion or parallel to the books that we were just over-looking. But people just don't date Dunlendings. Except Lal, of course.

Now I'm convinced that there are two options: these phrases are plays on words... or The Barrow-Wight made stuff up and is sitting in his Barrow-Chair laughing maniacally at the power he so obviously has over all of our minds.

Whatever

Continuing along the line of Middle-Earth magnets (and Madlibs and Malbeth as suggested by Esty), let me put forward a supposition the titles are somehow generated in Middle Earth Name Generator.

I've tried to model some of the previous titles and got quite funny results (nothing close to actual titles, but still):

According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth...

member started path to adventure was a Staggering Valar

member is getting the hang of it was a Wicked Ghost

member is no fool of a Took was a Overweight Neekerbreeker

member is faithfull as Samwise was a Overgrown Ringwraith

member has shown the wisdom of Gandalf was a Loved Gamgee

member has the fame of Frodo was a Creepy Bird-tamer

member would be welcome at Aragorn's court was a Loathsome Black Rider

member has a place at Elrond's council was a Angry Nazgûl

member is bound for the Straight Road was a Talkative Hobbit

member sits on high Taniquetil was a Powerful Wizard

Perhaps...

I've noticed that when you plug in the names of certain members, interesting results come back.

Give "estelyn telcontar" and "mister underhill" a try...

So... the new titles refer to Administrators and Moderators' names shoved into the generator.
