Precisely, dancing spawn. You have successfully proven my secretly intended operationalisation of the importance of the little marky thingies over vowels for all those too lazy to type them in.

You may move to the head of the class.

The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!

Well done, HerenIstarion and the phantom for cracking the code.

I suspect that BW just fed some names in at random and picked the best ones. But, just in case there is something more to this, here are the Rep levels (in order) and the matches to date:

Quote:
Steals taters from confused gaffers - Boromir88 was a Confused Gaffer.

Wonders what happened to the reputation system - Probably no match.

Is stalked by petty dwarves - ? was an Amorous Petty Dwarf?

Likes terrorizing wood-elves - davem and Eomer of the Rohirrim were both Frightened Wood-Elves.

Was once misplaced by a forgetful maiar - Estelyn Telcontar was a Forgetful Maiar.

Is descended from grovelling stone trolls - Mister Underhill was a Groveling Stone-Troll.

Looks like a muddy-booted Baggins - Hookbill the Goomba was a Muddy-Booted Baggins.

Is dating a horrible Dunlending - Lhunardawen was a Horrible Dunlending.
So - is there any further logic to the system? And, if so, can we find the Amorous Petty Dwarf?

Well, Squatter used to have the closing signature on his emails, "Greetings from the petty dwarf", but those emails to me were never amorous. You'll have to ask Lush about hers though.

the guy who be short has just left Hobbiton.
I've finally got to Taniquetil, since having one box in about May/June. That was my aim a while back, you see, when it still appeared to be the highest level possible. Ah well, onwards to new goals.
