Hmmm..... not familiar with any of those, but I think I have it. I haven't been in my sindar papers for a long time  and I mixed your name up with "Eraisuithon" Don'y ask me why. Quote:

Nice to meet 'cha! I only joined/died a few months ago, but I'm already pretty attached to this place...

Just thought I'd pop my head around the corner Eruchain and say hello. Discovered the site about twenty minutes ago and have made a few posts.
Well.... hello. *puts head back round corner*

Welcome, Tarpaladin.
You may now take some beans* from the pot. *These are, of course, only metaphorical beans of shadow that may or may not enable you to fly... possibly.

After a month-long ban, the Barrow-Wight has graciously given me a second chance. Hopefully, noone can figure out my password this time...

12345? that sounds like a password dumb people put on their suitcase locks. *Farael walks in* So the password is 12345? just like my suitcase! Edit: Sorry, that was way too off-topic. Might as well say hello and wish a warm welcome to all of the newbies. A word of advice, don't feel intimidated by the "old" posters, they are very friendly!!! Even if they write in a long-winded, really formal way sometimes.

Welcome back, Mr Leader.
Now you're out of the red rep zone.  Let's hope your time here is good.

According to your rep level, you 'should be cast into the void'. I've never seen that before.  All the same:

Howdy!
Hey guys, my name is Merrivere, or Merri if you like. That's what my friends call me at least. I haven't been on the Downs for years now...I used to go on back when the movies were coming out as Daewen, so if anyone remembers me back then (which I doubt you do, but you never know) I'm back. You never can shake the addiction of LotR.

Thanks Beleg. I missed going on here. I hope I'll be able to make friends and feel welcome just like I used to. A lot has changed in my life, and I'm ready to go back to where I left off and pick up the pieces. I guess that all starts with the thing that used to be my top priority

Just to show you how friendly I am, and since you seem to be from Winsconsin (where if my football geography is not incorrect you can find Green Bay and the Packers) I am inviting myself over to your place so that I can see Brett Farve play before he retires. No? Well, welcome to the 'downs anyway. There is no better cure for whatever wrongs the "real" world has sent your way than a good, fun time spent in the Mirth section!

Greetings to all of you dead, not yet dead, risen or whatever all of you here might be!
Since it's my custom to probe into something before I settle down there, I have already explored this site a little bit and took part in some polls a little bit (as some of you might have noticed), but it's to your credit that after a very short time I feel this place quite comfortable and I intend to (and hope I will) settle down here and rest (in peace, I hope ) for some time... I think there is no need to introduce myself too deeply, if I take part in here, surely it will leak out what my personality is like, but if you have any needs to know more about me, just ask The most important is that I am Tolkien fan (ah! How unexpectable!) and maybe I could also mention that I am for long time a DM of a company of crazy D&D players, and that with the help of God I just fulfilled my lifetime dream to run a campaign in the ME world... yay!!! So one of the reasons for which I come here is also to keep an eye of details of the ME which could be important for our campaign and which I want to be sure about and with which I hope you, as devoted fans, will be able to help me out! So thanks for preparing this nice place for us fans, I really like it here on the first sight, hope it will be just better and better...

Hello, hello!
Hello everyone!
I am not exactly a new member, but rather an old member long gone and now returned. I was formerly known as Cúdae, but left roughly 3 years ago. I tried to retrieve my old password to get that name back, but as my e-mail address has since changed, it didn't work out. (So if the administrators wish to do any late fall/early winter cleaning, go right ahead and clear that account out! )Anyway, I notice that many, many things have changed in the years I've been gone! I'm not sure I understand this reputation system, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it after I wade through that long thread on it! I also do not recognize many names. Perhaps there have been many new members or perhaps my memory lapses. Hmm... In any case, it is good to be back! I have missed this particular fandom and look forward to spirited debate with all of you once again! --Cúdae |

Welcome all newbies!
Thanks again, Gil-Galad, even though it turned out to be a false alarm. I still owe you one.

Welcome Reena (aka Sadreen)
This place is not cheery! Destruction and pain lurks in every corner of these haunted barrows, lots of ghastly creatures dwells in this dark place. In the Quiz Room you will find Killer Penguins In the Mirth section the horrible creature they call Hookbill dwells with his spawn. In quotes no one ventures save the brave In Books. . . . . should I stop now? Yeah, it is probably the best. I just hope you enjoy your time among us dead spirits, you will find everything here. Fun games and deligthful debates.

Hello. I'm new here but have been part of the Tolkien community for several years. I was a member of the TORn message boards; I joined there in 2003 but have not posted much in a long time. This place seems more active, and the forum layout is far better.
I chose this name because my main interest in Tolkien's work lies with the isle of Númenor and its history. Tar-Telperien (or Tar-Telperiën, either spelling is valid) was the tenth Ruler of Númenor. I have used this nickname in several Tolkien-related areas I frequent, such as TORn and the Tolkien Gateway wiki. I will probably mainly post in the Books forum, since I have quite a bit of knowledge about the Legendarium and greatly like to discuss its fine points with others. The movies are quite good, but I pay them less attention. I actually do have a sense of humor, though, so you might see me in the Middle-earth Mirth section as well. I find RPing rather fun, but I am not interested in roleplaying in any other area than Númenor, so I will probably not show up there. Of the books, The Silmarillion is my favorite, because it contains so many powerful and tragic parts. I am partial to The Hobbit, and fascinated by the material printed in The History of Middle-earth. I have gained a pretty good grasp of Quenya, and know a bit of Sindarin as well.
