Are you a Stalker?

[HerenIstarion]

er... what is Nearsighted Elves Society? I have heard term mentioned elswhere too, but direct information would come in useful (from the stalking point of view too, maybe )

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

HI, I believe the Nearsighted Elves Society is just that. A society for Nearsighted Elves, no more and no less. I once posed as one such Elf in order to infiltrate the society but I was caught and beaten by 3 of the security guards and left for dead in the nearby woods.

As to the fun activity of stalking, I must confess to being a profile fiend. I constantly look at other Downers profiles for more information on them.

I think everybody kind of stalks their "favorite 'Downers" so to speak... I mean the people whose posts you most enjoy. Nothing sinister, of course. I've recently started stalking Eomer of the Rohirrim. His tricksy appearance being so hard to pin down, I thought to read more of his posts and see what I could learn, which brought me to THIS thread, coincidentally.

I follow Keeper of Dol Goldor around, because I've spent 16 years trying to figure out how his mind works, and I still can't figure it out. I even know where he lives! Mwahahahahaha. And his mother's maiden name. Mwahahahahahaha. Actually, the fact that he's my brother and I live with him (most of the time) and have the same mother... kind of negates the stalker-creepiness level.

As for others I follow around occasionally, The Saucepan Man, HerenIstarion, I used to follow LePetitCheaux a lot, but now we're rarely on at the same time... Once in awhile, if I see that the "Newest Member" is on, I'll follow them around and see what they get up to.

Edit: yes, Eomer, sleep easy once again, knowing that it is I, and that my sole aim is to make sure that when Biff falls asleep, you don't remove the straight jacket.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Lately my mind has been at discomfort, constantly feeling that someone is following me, ready to pounce whenever I make one tiny mistake, and I'll be forced to look into the eyes of my stalker in cold blood and scream "NOOOOO!!!!"

Now I know its you Feanor, so I can rest easy now.

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

I stalk mark12_30, Nurumaiel, Aman, Bethberry, Fordim Hedgethistle, Durelin...

But then occasionally someone on "Who's Online" digs up a good thread to read, so I really enjoy that feature.

[Elennar Starfire]

I wasn't a stalker until I read this thread...Now I've stalked Lalaith and Evisse the Blue. Both found me some fun threads. So I think I shall go stalk some more...

Oh dear...now I'm stalking just about everyone that's on when I am...

Gah! *Hunted expression* And to think I trusted you, Aylwen! Oh, shame!

To be fair, I return the favour - Aylwen is one of a variety of people I sometimes 'stalk'. Imladris is another major one, as is Bethberry.

Dang, we need an evil smiley...for now, Mr-hat-bong will do...

[Evisse the Blue]

I've been stalked..wow, I feel so special. Now I have to be extra careful, which thread I go to, knowing someone may haunt my every mouse click.
I must admit I've become much more of a stalker lately. I hang around on the main forum and wait for interesting threads to be brought to my attention by my 'victims'. I stalk lots of people, almost everyone is a potential 'stalkee'.

I do that too! And yours is a most entertaining one, by the way.

I don't really use Who's Online that much, but I do like to check out the "find more posts by [likely 'Downs member]" and peruse the snippets listed there to see if there's anything I'm interested in. It saves time opposed to combing the forums.

[Lhunardawen]

This reply is sooooo late. I'm sorry, HI.

Yes, the Society is for Nearsighted Elves (and Halfelves too, like me). But I think we have been welcoming even those who are not myopic nor Elves. It was Maeggaladiel who founded the Society, and it has been growing. You can PM her or Eowyn Skywalker (I guess) if you desire to join.

I once posed as one such Elf in order to infiltrate the society but I was caught and beaten by 3 of the security guards and left for dead in the nearby woods.

Eomer, you've got to be kidding. Wait, I was probably one of those who beat you up.

[Bombadil]

Well I'll admit I stalked luthien- elvenprincess for a time because she was the only one playing my cryptogram game, and I was always waiting for a new crypto or her repsonse to mine! I like to look at people's ages too (if they give them). If you all remember Finwë (how could one forget) she turned out to be 16! That surprised me, I thought she was older.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

That's true Bombadil, I am often surprised at the ages of other Downers.

Thanks Diamond, my profile really does capture the essence of my character almost perfectly. I enjoy reading your profile too, its very funny.

Lhunardawen, can't you remember? Or do you often have spies snooping around your headquarters?

[Imladris]

Ooo.....I'm stalked by Aman.

I freely admit that I stalk Bethberry, Fordim Hedgethistle, and HI. In fact, I remember staying up later than I would have last night waiting for a post of Bethberry's...

Cheers,
Imladris
