Which Barrowdowns title would you use? (if you actually got one) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Brinniel · 05-13-2010, 03:38 PM

Members who are awarded titles typically have been on the Downs for at least a year and have reached Ghost Prince of Cardolan status. But most importantly, titles are given to members who have made a significant contribution to the forum and have a high standing reputation (and I don't mean in points).

It's been almost two and a half years since the last titles were given out, which is a really long time. I know the B-W and other admins are busy, but there are so many members who deserve a personal title and I'd love to see them get it.

Please?

I received my title in 2003 when I was barely 15. While I'm sure I could come up with something more creative today, I'm still happy with the title I have. And I do have a tattoo.

Brinniel just gave you the official version.

Actually, I'm the one calling the shots. So if you're lucky I might be so kind.

I'm still happy with mine, it's the job I would have enjoyed the most if I lived in Middle-earth. Nothing like hanging around at the highest tier of Minas Tirith.

You must mean in 'height,' as I'm taller than some (and nothing else would explain me getting a title).

You'll have it in fifty years time as well.

That must explain mine also. After all height is often commented in Tolkien, despite the hobbits' importance most of the other important "good" characters are marked out as being tall. I think you are on to something here Alatar.
