Try wizzard in mordor/wizzard in mordor2 or War on gondor 2 they're totally wacked.

Oh, have you *read* the Battle for all of middle earth (TM), by HumanPi? THAT WAS WHACKED! And I've read those threads, they are pretty good!

Well duh, I had always assumed you were both the same person!

The last sane person · 09-12-2005, 07:27 PM

O.o Nope, she is more neurotic than I am....at least, I like to think so...

I always wondered about that! I thought it was a tie-in to a band or something like that.

But YOU'RE not evil, right?

...right?

The last sane person · 09-12-2005, 10:07 PM

No, just the witch was, not the familiar....But it would explain a few things.

I think it might be a good idea to try to bump this thread... I've allready posted how I got my username so I can't put something in to keep this post on topic (sorry) but I think someone should bump this thread... so bump...

P.S.
Again, sorry for being off topic if any admins want go ahead and make this post not count on my posts I just realy think this thread should be bumped so I'm posting in it... this post witch is mostly made up of me explaining why I posted this and asking not to be kicked off for it... again sorry...

rohirrim TR · 12-19-2005, 06:06 PM

well lets see I like horses, have horses do some rodeo so being a rohirrim was a natural choice but someone already was "rohirrim" so I had to come up with something else. Because team roping happens to be my sport i put in the initials TR in caps and it took it and here I am, pretty much end of story, but maybe it'll get the thread going. but actually me9996 might really be trying to kill this thread since that is his sig hmm *considers various conspiracy theories*

Edit: just fixing grammar.

me9996 · 12-20-2005, 09:49 AM

it was allready dead.... don't think about what I'd be then... please don't.... maybe a thread docter, after all the thread wasn't beond all help...

littleadanel · 12-20-2005, 03:55 PM

Oh c'mon me9996, you didn't kill this thread, you revived it!

So here goes my story: while I was first reading LOTR, and was fascinated yet without any knowledge, I almost immediately started making up names. And then I got the Sil, and in the appendices there were some Elvish rootwords listed. I was really glad, and went on with name making, unconsciously messing everything up - didn't know anything of Quenya or Sindarin or whatever. Adanel became my favourite; my intention was to put something together with a meaning 'daughter of men'. Sort of...

Then one day, out of curiosity, I typed Adanel into Google... and found out that Tolkien actually had a character named Adanel!

A figure of a wise-woman, my unintentional and unknown namesake...

thus, afterwards I became Little Adanel, to be slightly different while keeping the name.

Nautipus · 12-05-2007, 12:42 AM

Well, I was registering at the highschool I attended for the AP Biology online crap, and decided to think of something that'd suit me. Thus Nautipus was born. It is a fusion of two of my favorite cephalopods, the nautilus and the octopus (could also equal octilus, but I like the other better). So there you go. Been using it ever since.

The last sane person · 12-05-2007, 04:57 AM

Aha! I knew it was a fusion of those two critters. So, you are a shelled octopus in my mind's eye.

Nautipus · 12-05-2007, 08:51 AM

Kind of like this guy? Argonaut
This actually is a shelled octopus, called a paper nautilus. (although only the female makes the shell)

**Mari** · 12-05-2007, 12:44 PM

Never knew there was a thread like this.

I use the nickname I used in Japan.
I've also been called himawari at times, which is a wordplay on Mari.
Himawari is a sunflower, but literally means something like "turning towards the sun". Because apparently the people around me open up to me like sunflowers to the sun... or so I've been explained.
It sounds nice anyway, makes me feel appreciated.

I'm glad I chose to use Mari, because now, after leaving Japan you people are the only ones who still call me that and I kinda miss my nicknames.

Nautipus · 12-05-2007, 01:08 PM

That's pretty neat little story.

Mari.......now we know......cool.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 12-05-2007, 02:50 PM

For Mari.

Thank you! Somehow it reminds me of the movie Balloon Farm... It makes me all happy and fuzzy

*hums a happy tune*

Nautipus · 12-07-2007, 11:32 AM

Okay, siscous, I know this is probably staring me right in the face, but let's pretend for a moment that I'm as dense as I seem: Where did you get your name?

I stole from the immense genius of W.S. Gilbert. In HMS Pinafore he has a character who travels with an immense retinue of his female relations, "the sisters and the cousins, who are reckoned up by dozens". They burst into song at intervals "And so do his sisters and his cousins and his aunts."

When I came on here, people knew each other so well. I was clearly making a choral entrance.
