Or, it can happen after 400-odd posts when you're least expecting it, because somehow the mods have decided that your presence on the forum is quite amusin' and you must be encouraged to make a bigger fool of yourself than you already are....but enough of my life story!

Cheers!

No you guys! I mean once you get to how many ever points you need to get a self-appointed title,what would yours be? For example:

Mouldy Maggot?

Kaptin Knickers?

Spawn of the Dead?

Forgive me, Elonve, but for both Boromir88 and myself, the question is moot, as there is only one Laconic Loreman and only one Haunted Halfling and the question of what we would choose has long since passed. Some of the newer members should post with their outrageous choices, as I remember having done this before, coming up with "Crackpot in Residence" as a choice once, I believe. But the choice made long before was not the final choice, as you can see!

Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. I wouldn't be caught dead with the personal title "Kaptin Knickers!"

I totally agree with you there Lyta. Same with Mouldy Maggot, which isn't as bad. Spawn of the Dead? Not bad. But I was kind of going for somewhere along the "insane" route. Not quite sure what though. I'll get back to you on that.

You are meant to have something in the spirit of the downs - and while it is fun to think up something wacky - the fact is that once you have chosen (as with an Elvish Spouse!) you may not change it, so (unless youhave the power even to enchant our in-barrow Mandos) it is a good idea to choose something that reflects your personality and which you can live with.

That said I must admit that it took me all of 5 seconds to respond to the call and since others in my batch had their titles installed pretty quickly I don't thinkI was alone in having thought what I would like should it be offered.... I had had three ideas, one of which had to be discarded because it was already taken.. so when it came to the crunch Yeats and "Pilgrim Soul" won over Brooke and "Bewildering Ghost"

When you say 'respond to the call' do you mean that you get a PM about it?

Titles
This thread will tell you about levels and titles: http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=6010
And you get to pick yours, when they contact you. Kaptin Knickers is funny though

Yes, it was everso exciting... I kept it for ages infact it might still be there. It arrived on New Year's Day and is the nearest I will get to being on the"New Year's Honours List"! It was a very good pm too - not just "Psst wanna personal title?"
