Hmm... and speaking of Werewolf, I'm surprised no one has gone with a Werewolfish title yet...

I don't think anybody will. Werewolf participation is only a small part of Downs membership, which is only a small part of what makes each one of us a person. No matter what the sleepless nights say.

And in a few years the obsession with it may pass, and then it would be a rather strange title to any newbies. Still, it would be a way of remembering the good old days

SHE'S A WOLF...LYNCH HER! BURN HER!

No, it could be a rather excellent theme for a PT. The problem is that you need to make it customized to yourself and a WW PT just didn't match my own personality.

T'would be easy to make it Middle-Earth seeming...

Risky Ranger
Beheaded Hunter
Sleeping Seer

or any such name of the sort would sound appropriately Middle-Earthen, appropriately dead, and appropriately Werewolfish. And then there are all the RP-esque names one could convert to a title...

Deadpan Lumberjack comes to mind (although Saucepan Man already has a Personal Title).

Personally, I think "Innocent Villager" would be a hilarious Personal Title...

That would be grand. Personally, I think that Nilp would have been the most likely to use a title from WW, but he received his long ago. His probably would have been 'Loud Lupine' or 'Suicidal Skin-changer' or something to the like. You know, something to describe his I'm-a-werewolf-so-lynch-me attitude.

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-10-2005, 04:05 PM

How about Wrongfully Lynched? Mind you, just about every WW player can lay claim to that title at some point ...

AbercrombieOfRohan · 10-12-2005, 09:57 PM

Kind of off-topic but back to the subject of Perky. I think that MLT would be a good PT for you.

"MAX: Yeah, sonny... true love is the greatest thing in the world. Except for
a nice MLT: mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, when the mutton is
nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe... <smack smack> they're so
perky; I love that." -The Princess Bride

The 1,000 Reader · 10-13-2005, 02:22 AM

"The White Whino."

...Or "Some Random Guy."

I think Nilp would be the only one who will disagree with that. His might be: "Lynch Me".

If i ever get a personal and my knowledge on LOTR has not increaset I think that "Eternal Newbie" would be fitting.

Gil-Galad · 10-13-2005, 05:11 PM

i should be "That guy you lynched" or something in that context...

malkatoj · 10-13-2005, 07:56 PM

Gil-Galad, you could also be "Glowing Llama"

I was considering "Confusticating Cobbler" but eventually sided with TGWBS's reasoning in post #121. Not that Werewolf titles aren't cool and fun to come up with.

Hey! I sign up for that one!

I've always thought Ghastly Spectre sounds good. Or Devouring Dread/Demon/Devil. Don't know why though.

But there's a long way to go... Especially if I keep this tempo. Was gone for over a year so my post rate is like 0,09 per day

Anyone want to play 'Name the Title' for me?

Gil-Galad would have to be "The Old Man from Scene 24"

Glirdan · 10-14-2005, 08:49 PM

Hmm.... Something to do with a werebear? You were the frist one after all and I think that deserves some more credit. Or maybe something to do with MapQuest. Something negative of course because we all know how much you hate MapQuest after all. Just a few suggestions, which probably shouldn't be taking. Go with the definition of your screename or your real name. Like I am. My name means poet and I'm going to use "Wandering Wordsmyth" (I call dibs on that!!!!) which is linked to my screename and the Barrow-Downs at the same time. But it's completely up to you.

Gil-Galad · 10-14-2005, 10:15 PM

how about "ScapeLlama"

"The Black Knight"

or

"The Black Llama"

i was thinking of Punmaster of Awesomeness

Meela · 10-21-2005, 06:02 PM

I think, not straying from the obvious, I would have adopted the appropriate title of Denethor's True Love, or perhaps Stalker is more suitable... considering the opportunity was never going to arise, I never did put much thought into it. But now the wheels of my mind are turning... I shall certainly occupy myself with the task of picking a title now.

Holbytlass · 11-14-2005, 02:13 PM

I haven't thought about titles for myself..."We're not worthy, we're not worthy" (think Wayne's World) and it sounds like trying to name a baby, the stress of it all since it will be kept for the rest of your life. One happy note though, at least it's only yourself making the final decision. I love all my children's names but if it weren't for my husband, they'd all have different names.

I do like when someone gets theirs, it's like a happy little surprise of "something's different" when one reads their post. Congratulations to all. Perky, you still haven't thought of one? How long does a person have once extended the invitation to pick a title?

it'll probably be awhile for me anyways still.

Delicious or choice. See Synonyms at delicate.

Clearly, you haven't spent the entire tenure of your time on this website dreaming of becoming a renowned and respected member... so obviously, there's something wrong with you.

What would you say is your defining trait? Or, perhaps, one particular trait that you'd like emphasized in your PT? Without some idea where to start... who know where to go?

Gurthang · 08-18-2006, 02:41 PM

I echo the words of wisdom from Formendacil. Glirdan, I'm sure you'll think of something. Maybe this will help; I looked up 'insanity' and found these.

insanity = madness, lunacy, psychosis, mental illness

As for me, I had already decided mine (yes I did get the PM) so you should see it fairly soon.

Glirdan · 08-18-2006, 02:44 PM

Yay Gurthang! Woot! And thanks for the advice, both of you.

mormegil · 08-18-2006, 03:20 PM

Many felicitations to all who received their invitation!

Glirdan as for the wandering wordsmyth I am a fan of aliteration (see my PT) but I personally would feel a bit presumptious with such a claim in the midst of many Downers ie. Davem, HI, Lal, Esty, SpM, Boro, Eomer, Kuru etc...But to each his own, I don't often read the role playing game so perhaps you write a lot there. Otherwise I would look to you comical and spirited side. My impression of you is that you have endless energy

Again congratulations and most importantly you must like you decision nobody else has to. When I made my decision I solicited the aid of a couple of friends who I knew would give constructive feedback and that helped me out. As did thesarus.com.
