Lol, perfect, dear sir, perfect

I am Americium, apparently, named, unsurprisingly, after America. Hmm...*waves St George's cross and whistles the National Anthem patriotically and maybe a little pointedly*

How did you decide on who was who? Brilliant idea, Abercrombie, absolutely fantastic!

Ooh I have (rather late) discovered the periodic table. I don't think I will try again to set up an avatar because Meitneriun is somewhat elusive in appearance

meitnerium.

Standard state: presumably a solid at 298 K
Colour: unknown, but probably metallic and silvery white or grey in appearance
Classification: Metallic
Availability:

Element 109, meitnerium, is a synthetic element that is not present in the environment at all.

Isolation

Only a few atoms of element 109, meitnerium, have ever been made. The first atoms were made through a nuclear reaction involving fusion of an isotope of bismuth, 209Bi, with one of iron, 58Fe.

209Bi + 58Fe 266Mt + 1n

Isolation of an observable quantity of meitnerium has never been achieved, and may well never be. This is because meitnerium decays very rapidly through the emission of a-particles.

Very appropriate....grey, dilapidated ... I dispute the synthetic ......

You click on the "Who Posted?" link of almost every active thread to see who posted the most and how you rank in posting. This proves most interesting when done with Werewolf threads to see who's the most talkative.

My most "memorable" discoveries:

1. Fea is the most frequent poster in both Shire- and Mordor-assignment threads. I find the fact a bit contradictory.

2. In all Werewolf games I have ever played, mormegil is ALWAYS one of the most talkative. Quite unsurprisingly, he also has the greatest number of posts in the original thread.

3. Gil-Galad posted the most in Know Yer Mates.

4. Hookbill has the most Crazy Captions posts...but you already know that. Okay then, let's try Fortunately/Unfortunately.

5. Same person above has the most number of BD predictions. Tight race for second place between Lhuna and tgwbs.

6. tgwbs finds the most amusement in typos or Freudian slips, whichever they are.

7. Oddwen, Menel, and Nilp are the top three contributors to the New Movie Script. No surprise there.

Okay, I'll stop now.

EDIT: I have to thank tgwbs for letting us (in Werewolf VII? VI?) know about this. The link and what it does, I mean.

Tight race indeed!

In French, in a sentence to do with hobbies, I translated "lecture de BDs" as "reading the Barrow Downs." Apparently, it means comics, though there are comics on the Downs, so in a sense I was perfectly correct.

Due to moving caves, and having my new dungeon renovated, I have been off-line since August. Days pass into weeks,and weeks into months. A horrid thing called work took over my miserable existance. Then I got the call, my abode was ready. The first box out of storage was the one that read computer. I plugged it in, set it up the Internet and I nearly experienced joy (to near for a Narfforc). The first site I visited was The I Hate Tree-Hugging Elves Society, to see if there had been another member apart from me joined in my absence. Then it was straight here, before going on to The Hobbit Cooking Society ( Only to see if there was any new ways to cook em mind)

P.S I do love this site (But don't tell anyone)

You know you're addicted to the Barrow-Downs when, for the first time in about a year, you have nothing to do on a Friday night and decide to log back on.

Lhuna, how do you do this? I've been racking my brains...

'Tis a link upon thy right, good sirrah.

On the right hand side of a forum, there's a "Replies" column. For each thread, there is a number. Clicking on this presents a breakdown of who's posted most.
