Which Downer Am I! - Page 21 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lhunardawen · 06-07-2006, 10:10 PM

Because I was put on the spot, here's something...weird.

Does it play with fire?

Diamond18 · 06-07-2006, 10:14 PM

Arry?

Lhunardawen · 06-07-2006, 10:15 PM

Nope.

At one point it follows the last few questions.

Valier · 06-09-2006, 10:34 AM

Is it Pyroclastic Lhuna?

Lhunardawen · 06-11-2006, 05:19 AM

'Fraid not.

And 'fraid it's too nonsensical that only a nonsensical girl like me can make any sense out of it.

A hint: Look at the PTs...and think flame instead of fire. That should do the trick. I hope.

Kath · 06-11-2006, 05:21 AM

spawn? Mischievous Candle?

Lhunardawen · 06-11-2006, 05:27 AM

Does this mean you're nonsensical too?

The thread is yours, Kath.

Kath · 06-11-2006, 05:38 AM

Maybe I just know the way your mind works

Ok, this makes sense to me, but may not to anyone else:

Straight-talking solid.

Mithalwen · 06-11-2006, 10:26 AM

Straight talking suggests Boromir88's PT "Laconic Loreman"

the guy who be short · 06-11-2006, 10:36 AM

Or SpM's logical mind, coupled with his Saucepan's holding liquids, which are antagonistic to solids.

Yes, it's a stretch. I'm trying to think like a nut.

Kath · 06-11-2006, 11:04 AM

Thanks guy.

No to both I'm afraid.

Think opposites.

symestreem · 06-11-2006, 11:55 AM

piosenniel?

Hey, it makes sense to me!

Kath · 06-11-2006, 01:00 PM

Not pio either.

Diamond18 · 06-11-2006, 01:32 PM

Bethberry.... Cryptic Aura

Kath · 06-11-2006, 02:04 PM

That's the one Di.

And to anyone who thought solid was a rubbish opposite for aura, you try and come up with one!

Glirdan · 06-11-2006, 02:39 PM

Hey Kath, try Chi or Karma. True they're not the best, but I think that you're clue might have been easier if you used them. Still, I'll give you props for trying to come up with a word that can be linked to Aura. Good job!

Diamond18 · 06-11-2006, 02:45 PM

(Actually, I thought that clue was pretty obvious.

)

This should also be easy.

Burninating the countryside.

Hmm... well, aura comes from the late Middle English for breeze (and from there, from Latin from Greek), so perhaps 'gale' would have worked. Only that would have been even more obscure!

Or 'vacuum' could have stood in opposition to its meaning of 'atmosphere.' I actually thought it was a good clue; you just started me thinking. And my attempts reinforce your notion of the difficulty of finding an antonym...

Glirdan · 06-11-2006, 03:06 PM

Um, burrahobbit?

Kitanna has it.

Kitanna · 06-12-2006, 09:39 AM

Ok, been quite a long time since I had to come up with a clue. So it'll be pretty easy:

Look in a puddle to see this Downer

symestreem · 06-12-2006, 09:42 AM

Not to be egotistical, but is it me?

Kitanna · 06-12-2006, 09:57 AM

Yeah, it's you symestreem.

symestreem · 06-12-2006, 10:45 AM

A rattling coffin.

This one might be a little more difficult...

mormegil · 06-12-2006, 10:52 AM

Hookbill?

Alive without breath

symestreem · 06-12-2006, 11:03 AM

Nope. The Downer I'm thinking of isn't so well known as Hookbill.

Durelin · 06-12-2006, 02:19 PM

Orual, as the "Speaker of the Dead?"

A bit far-fetched, maybe... And Orual is pretty well known, though she definitely does not post as often as Hookbill does.

symestreem · 06-12-2006, 02:42 PM

You have the dead theme right, but it's not Orual...

This member hasn't been around in a long time, though I remember him/her from my earliest days at the 'Downs.

Durelin · 06-12-2006, 03:39 PM

Hmm...galpsi, then, maybe, as 'The Unquiet Dead?'

Let me tell you, digging for that name was a walk down memory lane.

Though I guess I don't go far back enough to actually remember the name I just guessed...

symestreem · 06-12-2006, 04:26 PM

You are correct.

And I guess remembering him makes me an old fogey...

Durelin · 06-12-2006, 04:47 PM

Okey, here we go...

From way back...millennia, even

Valier · 06-12-2006, 05:16 PM

Is it either...

Waynethegoblin, or even the 1,000th reader?

Durelin · 06-12-2006, 10:20 PM

Nope.

Much farther back than that...and the 'millennia' part is in fact a hint to the name itself.

symestreem · 06-12-2006, 10:24 PM

Sounds like someone from before the switchover to VBB-- but that could be a lot of people...

But if it's someone well-known, is it Kate, onewhitetree?

Durelin · 06-12-2006, 10:33 PM

Nope.

Yes, it's someone from before the switch.

But the 'millennia' part is something altogether different. It's a clue to the name of the person itself, not just how old of a member they are.

mormegil · 06-12-2006, 10:59 PM

HCIsland for his static 1000 posts.

Durelin · 06-13-2006, 08:31 AM

Nope.

The 'millennia' part is directly linked to the person's name.

The 'HC' part, at least, is actually kinda close, though...

symestreem · 06-13-2006, 08:58 AM

Pallando B.C?

Durelin · 06-13-2006, 10:41 AM

Yep!

I was hoping my clues weren't too stupid...I suppose they were fairly odd, though...

Your thread again, symestreem.
