Welcome BlackRiderofAngmar, Naria and monks!

And Happy New Year everybody! (Yes, I know this is the heretic New Year, but no can do...)

suncrafter · 01-21-2006, 03:19 AM

Hi, Everyone! I'm Suncrafter.

I came across this forum while doing research for my website about Orcs.

Yesterday I had posted a thread about "45 Things that Orcs never say." But it was removed as spam. Evidently it is OK to post links in your signature at the bottom but not OK to post links in the body of the post. That's what I get for not reading the rules. I'll try re-posting "45 Things that Orcs never say" when I find time.

Thinlómien · 01-21-2006, 03:24 AM

Welcome, suncrafter!

Telchar · 03-03-2006, 03:21 AM

Hello everybody!

I would like to apologize, to everyone, for my absence the past month. And the inconvinience this may have brought you.

I have had an incredible battle with my ISP and been without internet access for more that 2 weeks - yrk!

As an aftermath, quite a workload had build itself up on my desk, which needed my attention.

In the same period, has been a phase of moving into my new office, together with my new coworkers,. This involved quite alot for painting walls, floors. Decorating, buying funiture, establishing a new kitchen. And getting my IT equipment up and running.

Today I can finally say that things are close to asuming normallity

With that off my chest, I would like to wish you all a nice weekend.

Cheers T

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-03-2006, 07:29 AM

Glad to hear that things are getting back to normal for you, Telch, and welcome back.

I am going to arrange for this thread to be merged with the newcomers/welcome thread, as that is the best place for announcements such as this.

suncrafter · 04-14-2006, 02:10 PM

Lote22 · 04-15-2006, 03:58 PM

Thanks for the welcome, I know I'll enjoy dying.

JennyHallu · 04-15-2006, 05:08 PM

Death is fun. *waits impatiently for mine*

04-16-2006, 09:41 AM

Aiya !!!!

Hail, people of Barrow Downs. Much i've heard about ye but only now i got to join.
I expect to receive and share a bit of knowledge and fun in any way i can offer ^^

Ah, sorry !
I am Yuukale Narmo, wanderer and bard o' elvish lore, pleased to meet ye.
Now i wander in brazilian lands, my (not so dear) homelands.

Ah! If anyone passing by here happens to be a member of the Elvenkindom.net forum, talk to me, we'll sure have lots of things to chat.

One more thing, no bard is bard without a song or a poem, so, here it goes.

I Eldamar Falasi
Aiwilindë Lindië An I Eldar
Eressëa Nainier Áva Hlandenë
Man Cenuva Sinar Sára Fëar ?

- Inye cenuva ! Quentën
An Úna Alassëa Nan....

(translation:
The shores of eldamar
birds sang for the eldar
lonely laments were not heard
who will see those bitter souls

- I'll see ! (I) spoke.
for i'm deprived of joy.)

PS: I know it's a sad poem, but so is my noldorin soul.

Namárië

Roa_Aoife · 04-16-2006, 11:13 AM

Wow.... Just wow....

That's got to be one of the bests intros I've seen. I can see you're goiing to be a phenominal addition to the Downs. Welcome aboard, and glad to have you here!

Gil-Galad · 04-16-2006, 11:15 AM

welcome Yuukale Narmo and enjoy yourself, i see you are making yourself at home

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-22-2006, 02:48 PM

Quote:

Any suggestions on where to start?

Middle Earth Mirth is a fun place to get started. Its the most informal of the forums and good for beginners, but you'll still have to play your cards right.

In Mirth, the four words you'll here most (apart from "Oh shut up, Hookbill") will be: Gandalf, Uncloaked, Mount, and Zoom.

Enjoy!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-22-2006, 03:02 PM

Oh, Mel, dear, ignore young Hookbill, here. He'll suck you right into Mount Zoom if you aren't careful.

Suggestions depend on what you're interested in. If you like to write, check out the RP forums. The Green Dragon is in the Shire and the Eorling Mead Hall is in Rohan; both are good places to go, but I'm admittedly prejudiced in favor of the Hall. If you're feeling ambitious and argumentative, head to Books. It'll teach you to argue at the level of college research papers if you get the right people up against you. You'll find a lot of laughter in Mirth, basic questions answered in Novices and Newcomers.

Like I said, it's all up to what you feel like doing.

Welcome also to Raewyn. No worries on your English, love, you've got a better grasp of it than most of my native-speaker friends.

Glirdan · 04-22-2006, 03:24 PM

Or if you don't like Mirthy stuff or RPG's, try you head at Quotable Quotes or the Quiz Room. However, I don't suggest not looking into the Mirth or the RPG forums. Both are always good for a lauhg, brain teasers and just all around fun. Make sure to join in a Werewolf game to try your hand at playing and, once you feel your up to it, mod your own game. Welcome to the Downs Mel!

Gil-Galad · 04-22-2006, 06:01 PM

Ah, welcome Mel and Raewyn, i hope you make yourself at home here among the dead, i haunt mainly the mirth and quiz room though i wander into the newcomers once and awhile. its great to know that we have downers from all over the world

Hi.

05-20-2006, 12:23 AM

Hi my names Gordon and I am taking this opportunity to introduce myself. I’m not to sure what to say so I’ll tell you “I have a passion for breeding lovebirds”. I started a little web site about them, which has some really good photos, but I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. So please feel free to have a look and tell me what you think, anyways thanks and see you around.

06-06-2006, 03:19 PM

Hi! Call me Valandil. I hope to get to know some of you here and have some interesting discussions. This is my first day here. Recently I missed two weeks of work due to illness. I was so incredibly bored and restless that I decided to read a book, something I haven't done for pleasure since that pleasure was beaten out of me in graduate school. *grins* Well, I've had The Lord of the Rings on my shelf for.... wow, I don't even know.... so I decided to read it to pass the time. I read all 1000 plus pages, and less than halfway through I really couldn't believe I'd never bothered to read it when I was younger. I am sincerely impressed with Tolkien's work. I read The Hobbit (quite quickly... seemed to be a children's book) and now I'm working on The Simarillion (which is the exact opposite of The Hobbit in terms of reading difficulty, as I'm sure everyone here already knows). All the character names and new terms are a bit overwhelming, but I'm intrigued... I feel somewhat like a sponge soaking up very flavorful water. So, I'm happy to be here. Hello to all!

Gil-Galad · 06-06-2006, 04:30 PM

Welcome Valandil! hmm... somebody here has a name simmilar to yours but i can't but my finger on it...

06-12-2006, 01:56 PM

Warm welcome to Taliesin and Lindale the mystic ex-'downer too.

greetings animeluvr181, I hope you will enjoy you dead.

If you like the serious diskutions, then chek out the book discutions or if you like the more silly stuff, it could be that Crazy Captions is to your liking.

malkatoj · 06-14-2006, 01:02 PM

Well, it's been a few months, but I'm back too.

Silly school and wanting to graduate kept me away, but now I'm on vacation so I can post as much as I want. (Except when I'm working, which will be a fair amount, but other than that I'll be here.)

Hope you all missed me!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-14-2006, 01:14 PM

Nice to see you here Malkatoj.

I still dont understand how you avoided beeing lynched in the last ww game I participated, I told them you were a wolf right from the start.

I hope you once again shall get the chance to drop a tactical cheese nuke on my head.
