Who’s got the best Title? (Do I hear some Nominees?) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Valier · 02-01-2008, 12:09 PM

I love all the new Titles!! They are all just brilliant and fitting for each.

I agree Mith, I am not sure I should go with a ww title, since I haven't been an overly active wwer. I think I just feel a little pressured to pick one, when I see how fast others have decided on theirs. I think I will give this time. I will not be hasty....

I am sure something will come to me.

I'm just so dang indecisive and impatient at the same time...what a combo

Who else has yet to decide? Rune and Naria I know have not picked one yet....Am I missing someone? Are you having a hard a time as me?

Take your time Valier! At the last round I was probably the last to come up with my PT. I had a lots of ideas but they all felt somewhat vague or not just what I thought the PT should be. But when it at last came to me it was quite clear it was exactly what I wanted.

So don't take a PT which you don't feel like "That's it!" because you need to live with it from that moment on. If you don't feel something is right then drop it and wait for the next good idea. You'll recognise the one then. And you should believe it as I myself was quite sceptical about this "you'll recognise the one when you cross it" -idea but in the end I really did even if it took some time...

And just my suggestion to you:

Just make it simple... Feline Fatale, or Fatal feline... or this nice one Fey Fatale?

You mean me?

I had a vague idea of what I wanted months ago, and made the final choice a couple days ago, but for some reason when the BW changed it it wasn't saved properly. Now I'm just waiting for it to appear...

EDIT: And posting very little, because I like the idea of having a personal title before I reach 1000 posts!

You know what, post some five more posts and then wait (and hope you don't need to answer anything in the meantime

) and post the 1000th as the first one with a new title... which I am really curious to see (just what is that you might have picked?)

...and no, you don't have to reply to this! Wait!

After consulting the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, I decided that I like Rikae's new title.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-02-2008, 07:40 AM

After consulting the simple translator on Seznam.cz I decided I like it too

Thanks, Lommy & Legate! I'll admit - 'mellifluous' has not, heretofore, been part of my active vocabulary. I found it looking through a dictionary for adjectives which alliterate with "Maia". I liked the allusion to either Melian or Saruman, depending on how you want to take it - moral ambiguity suits me. *wicked grin*

Good choices, my fellow newly-knighted Downers!
I'm curious about the thought process behind Legate's and Volo's (since TM already gave us his.) Macalaure's I knew beforehand, and I say he gets extra points for using a special character!

Legate, when I saw your earlier post I wished I had time to take your advice - that would have been glorious. Oh well.. *sigh*
995th post!

I decided I liked Rikae's title even before I went to tracetech.net and got the slightest clue of what it might actually mean.

From my part I can only say that at first sight it looks extremely corny, at second sight you understand that it might actually be somehow BD-related, at the third sight you think that it sounds pretty good and at the fourth you don't even notice it.

I leave the meaning completely to your imagination and will try not to comment it like Lommy's imagination.
