Who are we in Tolkien's Middle-Earth?

Re: What creature... would OTHERS be?

Well, you know. It was fun to make sure that nobody was confusing me, while entirely forgetting to defend the superly boring Frodo character.

I should have known...

Also, there are lots of gray areas with poor Mel. I could go on a Mel rant, but I would guess that this isn't really the place for it. Here's just one ---> Eru consciously as well as creepily magically poofs Mel into being. Mel is awesome. Eru then creates specialized and narrow-minded segments of Mel's awesomeness. Why? They are obviously inferior. He's obviously the best, and they make little clubs without him. That's just mean. No respect. *sniff*

...make little clubs without him.

And another not about myself ---> Harad is Feanor. He's plenty intelligent and, for some crazy reason, many aren't fans of his self-confidence (sometimes called arrogance). Makes no sense, to myself.

Do you mean the TTF person named Harad? Wasn't he the one that got banned for arguing with mods?

I'm too new to get these inside jokes of old. Oh well .

Actually, it's not a joke. I may be mistaken, but I remember a person named Harad who always got into trouble with the MODS before. I'm not sure if this is the person Yay is refering to in his post.

Another person I think you would be good as, Illuin, would be Treebeard. Full of wisdom, but is very hesitant to join the fray (you know which fray I am refering to, don't you?)

I do indeed; but I believe it is more of a "timing" issue. It is the work thing. I only have time to slip in when I can....and summer is coming to a close. When September arrives; it will likely be one evening post per day max. Fun is almost over.

Re: What creature... would OTHERS be?

Towards Ainur besides Mel, okay, mayhaps accuracy would equal ---> shards and tunnel-visioned in the place of segments and narrow-minded? Merely pointing out how they are inferior to Mel. While mayhaps only humans can throw Eru for loops, Mel has more options. The only personalities the other people have are based on the sometimes quite limited specialty they've been handed. They are pathetically predictable.

Towards Harad, yes, I was writing about the old banned member. He was cool. The personalities don't fit exactly, of course, but I thought that it wasn't too horrible. Both personalities would disagree with certain things about the other, I'm sure.

Ack! Whoops! I just remembered that I had planned the Harad thing out differently, earlier. There is a better character for that one, but, since I already put Feanor, I'll just come up with more reasons for why he's like that guy and give a nod to anyone who hits on the better character that I thought of. Nevermind. *hides* I'll see if I can come up with more for other people. It is difficult, though, since I'm so evil and self-centered (like Mel, who is awesome).

Re: What creature... would OTHERS be?

Hmmm good topic...

Narya - I dunno, really. A playful elf? Or Sam? Yes. Sam... Sam.

HLGStrider - I agree, Goldberry.

Illuin - I see him almost as Theoden, or maybe Aragorn. Wise, knowledgable, but really nice as well. Maybe a little bit of Gandalf too.

YayGollum - I agree with Thorin. It's such a good analogy!

Firawyn - I agree with Merry. She brings light to the forum, but also has a more serious side to her sometimes.

Prince of Cats - Faramir.

Gothmog - Probably Gandalf, or Treebeard.

Chrysophalax - Probably Beorn. Respected, but a little bit playful

Sorry those I've missed, but I've gotta shave off my Entish beard, and try and get a job... Wish me luck!

Re: What creature... would OTHERS be?

A lot of Harad's old posts have since been deleted or archived so far away that you'd be hard pressed to find him. I wasn't a mod back then so I don't remember exactly what he got banned for, but I remember that he was always in the middle of a heated dispute with somebody or other. Feanor is a good pick for him simply because he wouldn't back down even when bad things started to happen.

How can someone get so nuts discussing "fiction" that they must be banned from the forum? I just don’t get it. It must have been a "book vs. movie" argument. Other than that; I don’t see how it’s possible.

 

[HLGStrider]

Re: What creature... would OTHERS be?

Some book vs movie stuff. Some devil's advocacy, a lot of really biting sarcasm. You would be surprised the kind of vitriol we've had in the past on just about every subject.

I don't know if it has always been this way, but there are a lot of people out there who can't handle disagreement and assume that if you attack their position (on pretty much anything in some cases, in others just on things they feel strongly about) you are attacking them. It drives me nuts because I like nothing more than a logical debate about anything. Verbal jousting, as it were. There are only one or two things that I have too much emotional involvement with to debate reasonably.

I almost posted a long involved post about my sophist brother and the power of debate, but I think I'll make a thread about that else where because it is incredibly off topic.

 

[Firawyn]

I'm gunna revive this thread - it was funny and interesting, but half the members mentioned are no longer active.

This aught to be interesting.

Hummm....

DA Strider = Berúthiel
Barley = Gandalf
Ithy = Celeborn
Illuin = Legolas
Narya = Arwen
Chrysophalax = Eowyn
Ermundo = Eomer
Yay = Denathor


Any thoughts guys?

I can't think for my own placement...suggestions?

Re: What creature... would OTHERS be?

Humm. Very intersting.

As for myself, I just have to say...I can't picture myself as a hobbit. I'm not happy enough. and I hate gardens and am not overly fond of food or ale.

My thoughts:

DA Strider = Berúthiel
Barley = Gandalf
Ithy = Celeborn
Illuin = Legolas
Narya = Arwen
Chrysophalax = Eowyn
Ermundo = Eomer
Yay = Denathor

*Said in a small voice*

What about meeeeee?

 

[Firawyn]

Re: What creature... would OTHERS be?

I kinda picture you as an orc...

Seriously though...I'd have to say...Boromir.

 

[YayGollum]

They have been merged. Also, hm, Denethor is just another version of poor Smeagol, and a pretty cool one. I'll take it. I don't like Faramire, either.

Towards the Mike person's question ---> After that small voice, I now picture you as an elf that has become a fairy and isn't a large fan of the change. Probably one of those sickeningly heroic Noldor types, wanting to hear great tales sung about himself.

Wow, I’m flattered; but really nice; I’m not so sure about that one. I guess where the Gandalf reference is relevant is he was quick to anger, as am I; (but for the right reasons; I hope). If you saw me driving in New York traffic, you would have to edit your post. I think I will soon be known as "Pete the nine fingered"; as I’m developing a mysterious arthritic condition in one of my fingers. I would have preferred Thorin, or Gimli .

As for you; I would have to say Elrond; as you are always the first to assist and advise TTF newcomers at the beginning of their adventure.


Burzum is definitely Eöl. Living in his dark forest, attending to his metal (heavy metal) forging .

Mike, I apologize; I don’t know you yet. You’re like that mysterious fellow in the Prancing Pony:


'Who is that?' Frodo asked, when he got a chance to whisper to Mr. Butterbur. 'I don’t think you introduced him?'
'Him?' said the landlord in an answering whisper, cocking an eye without turning his head. 'I don’t rightly know. He is one of the wandering folk - Rangers we call them. He seldom talks: not but what he can tell a rare tale when he has the mind. He disappears for a month, or a year, and then he pops up again.' LoTR - At The Sign Of The Prancing Pony

Well if this be the case then I'm Burzum's wife ...as Elgee pegged me as Aredhel. (Which I must admit I am far more inclined to agree with, apposed to Merry)

Very tragic. Would have done the same as her. Not our fault Meaglin had to go and be stupid afterward.

 

[Confusticated]

I was dead on about Saruman Ivan, dare you to say I was not. Look, you've since changed your name to Sharkey.

Nom=Grishnakh

Nom=Andreth or Isfin.

Sign me up for Andreth or grishnakh please.

Isfin? I'm far too cowardly. Though I did flee with my son once, but not to the hidden city. But it was to a brother. Wow, maybe I am Aredhel.
