Good Morning

[loveme4whoiam]

Yeah, the amount of phoney nice people here he's going to have run a mile! You have to be sincere guys, like this:

 

*Sincerely pretends to be nice* :P

*Phony*

Hello, and welcome to the message board. We welcome you with open hands and will slap you if you misbehave.

Hello, and welcome to the message board.

 

Just kidding ^_^

 

Anyways, we welcome you and have fun.

 

By the way, never poke Dark0ne in the head. He doesnt appreciate it.

 

*pokes Dark0ne in the back of the head*

So do I, welcome to the forums. I've never ventured onto the official boards since I consider this one to be the pinnacle of Elder Scrolls forumness. Hope you enjoy the site (see everyone, not all newbies are illiterate punks ;) )

 

By the way, what's SimTower? That's one I've not heard of.

Well, I'm certainly not an illiterate punk. Unofficially, it's my personal mission to bring good grammar back to the Inter-Nets.

 

Mi3 gra^^3r vv1|| pwn joo!!!!!11!

 

Sorry, had to get that out of my system...

 

SimTower... yeah, not many have heard of it. I can't remember where I origionally got it from, as it's been on at least three of my computers by now. It's great fun, though.

 

*Gasps* Wow, the great Dark Lord welcomed you himself! I have not seen this honour bestowed upon anyone in a long while. Dark0ne, are you limbering up to snatch Switch's title of Newbie Relations Officer from him? ;D

Consider me appreciative. Like I said, long and beautiful relationship.

 

Yes, I was contemplating deleting your post so I could say I was first ;-)

 

We're making a bad impression though, lets atleast pretend that we're nice so we can get him to stay long enough to lock him in a cell.

 

*Dark0ne yet again was not here*

Hey, even a pretense of civility is something special considering the state of most internet forums today...

 

By the way, did you guys notice my sig? Bonus points to anyone who can tell me what it's from! I'd just like to take this moment to reiterate: "Not Illiterate." Thank you.

Is it from one of the Forgotten Tales? I can't remember it being in the Silmarillion, but then I read it a while ago so I'm not sure.

 

By the way, I din't mean to imply that you yourself were an illiterate punk :D

[Dark0ne]

Yeah, the Forgotten Tales. Been a long while since I've read it, but I believe it's the story of the man who lost his father to Morgoth, slayed Morgoth's prize dragon, ended up marrying/bedding his own sister then falling on his own sword for good measure. I believe in the world of Tolkien that's called a "love story".

 

Oh, by the way, this post may contain spoilers.

No worries, I knew what you meant, and appreciated it.

The particular passage that I've quoted is included in The Silmarillion, which has the more summary account of the Children of Hurin. The full tale (or the most full tale that is published) is actually in Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-Earth. Narn i Hin Hurin means, Lay of the Children of Hurin, and I think it's pretty much the best piece of fantasy literature ever written, and among the best literature of all time, period. My character in RPGs is always named Turin Turambar.
