The Future of the Downs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nilpaurion Felagund · 10-04-2005, 08:34 AM

Someday, someone will immortalise some of the more famous Werewolves games in poetry. My sister and I made this one for WWVII:

Eomer is a BDer that tarried in Meldor.
There he found a cobbler named Estel to help him.
Daga sila pareho.
the guy called them Cobwolf.

For my hundredth post, I have some predictions to make.

- A short time from now, after about fifty more werewolf games, all regular Tol-in-Gaurhoth players will know each other's style so thoroughly, the werewolves will be lynched on Day 1 by default.
There will be no more lengthy discussions and the voting will resemble something like this:

It's ++Boromir. Duh.

The only unpredictable player left will be WaynetheGoblin and he will quickly take control of all werewolf related threads by winning six successive games in a row, solo.

- After a particularly boring afternoon, Folwren, Glirdan and Morsul the Dark will decide to crack the reputation system, just for fun. This plan immediately backfires, setting all members’ reputation back to zero, except for, strangely enough, the phantom's, whose arrogance will largely increase when he finds out he's the only one who still can give out rep points and therefore is now the unquestionable ruler of the Downs.

- Anguirel will get the hang of the Survivor game and will host a The Hobbit, Unfinished Tales, Characters That Never Made It To The Actual Series and a My Imaginary Friends version in rapid succession. Curiously, the number of loyal viewers and voters will only seem to increase, despite the fact that less and less Downers know what they're talking about.

- The complete Crazy Captions thread will be bundled and published, immediately beating all sales records and get higher on the bestselling list than LotR itself, to the great dismay of all authors involved.

- Within a few years, the Barrowdowns will turn into a static, never-changing place and only the What do you assign to Mordor? thread will thrive, seeing everyone will always find new things to complain about. Feanor of the Peredhil will because of this shocking development have the largest post count in no time and after another ten years, will decide to buy the abandoned Downs and turn it into a timeless piece of art involving chopsticks, hobbit-feet and a dramatic, impressionistic sketch of The Barrow Wight.

- Concerning myself: Cailín will actually really read the Lord of the Rings and everyone will eventually forget she got basically all her rep points by playing werewolves (and this will probably go straight to my Most Embarassing BD Moment

).

Now there's a thought!!!

I say we go for it!!! What do you say Morsul? Folwren? Or do I still have to call you Jack???

I predict that malka will do an excellent job in modding the WWJ II game and that I'll be given a good role. Hint hint!!!

I predict that the Fourtunately/Unfourtunately thread will move into a second thread and that the only participants will be the top eight posters of this thread. Rune and 1,000 Reader will post every so often as well.

I also predict that Crazy Captions will become so immense that it will have a whole forum to itself.

Another one is that I'll create an alter-ego for myself named Bill. Eventually.....

I predict that everyone who posts in the Fortunately/Unfortunately thread will learn to spell it correctly!

Well that took me long enough to realise!!!!

Sheez!!! I need to pay attention more often!!!!

Another prediction, I'll finally realise stupid little things and mistakes.

No you won't, you little imp!!!

Hey!!! It's Bill!!!!

Shut up you fool!!!! I'm not Bill!!! I'm Bill the Conquereor!!!!

Here we go again.

Sorry! I just thought this was a little more subtle than PMing you and saying learn the flipping spelling!
