Hobbit, Dwarf or Elf? By Sirritus
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167261/board/nest/1916931
This was originally Elentari’s post, but I thought the original got deleted, so I reposted it. I'm sorry Elentari! Let me know if you want it back!
Sirritus did a great job describing the various categories but, as you can see, we Ringnuts are too creative to play by the rules! If you are not on the list and would like to be, send me a pm with the category you would like to be included in. Also, if you think someone should be upgraded to a higher category please nominate them by sending me a pm. If you’re uncomfortable placing yourself I’m sure others will give you their honest opinion. Have fun!

Good point! Lord Natrone is a worthy poster. I say he jumps right to Maia.
Actually, how come you're not a Maia? I nominate both Lord Natrone and BigV for Maiar.

Aule, Sir V and rose, I appreciate all of your support. I wonder how it gets settled ultimately? I'd be happy with anything said so far.

And I second Roses's motion for Bigv to become a Maiar Knight , and for reine to be an Elf.
Oh, and last but certainly not least, I second or third the motion for CTS to become Elf/rising Maia or Maia.

I guess it's higher than whatever's under it, but lower than elf...
I'm still a maiden...

|
|
|
I'm still a maiden too. I think that's the right category for me now, but I'm tired of not having moved up! Maybe I should demote myself and then promote myself back to maiden. I'm kind of restless...my problem is that when this list was started I put myself too high up, I think.
PS: Ammy, are you the one updating this list now, or did you just bump it? If you're the one updating it, the next time you do update it, could the spelling of my name be fixed?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.
|
|
|
Hey Reine! Yes, I'm the one updating it now, because the original got deleted. I'm sorry I haven't updated it sooner, but I've been really busy. Yes, I'd be glad to fix your name! I hate it when people's names are misspelled!

Hi Monarch,
Ammy is right . We sort of needed more levels I think. Or something like that. But those levels really didn't end up with an explanation I guess.

I have a few comments/questions:
1. Eowyn0789 is now Lady-Eowyn
2. Is it okay that I'm in two categories? Is it even possible to be a Dwarf and an Elf? Eww, don't want to think about that there! (The Innuendo Queen strikes again!)
3. I also changed my name to TheLadyGreenleaf, not that it really matters.
4. Does Éowyn really belong as an Elf? Isn't she more of a shieldmaiden or something? Not that I'm suggesting demotion, though.
Hand over the Laced Lembas, she-elf!

This isn't an actual species thing; it's more of... gosh, I hate to say this... it's more of a caste system; the castes themselves are species/classes. Shieldmaidens aren't a species - they are a rank within Middle-earth, not within the boards.
You are a daughter of kings. A shieldmaiden of Rohan.
|
|
|
I'm interested in this Ringnut Species thing, but I don't know where I should put myself, I am relatively new.
On the Ringnut info I put myself down as Dunedain, so I'm Human, but I don't know how much more you guys dice it up from there. Do new people start out in some default category?
|
|

I'd say you'd be at least an elf from what I've seen . I've enjoyed your posts.

Aww, thanks, ywrose! That's really nice of you. Sorry I didn't see the nomination before now; I've been away. I think Half Elf/Rising Maia is way out of my league, but I really appreciate your Elf nomination.
(BTW, don't worry about me being missed the first time: I had been down as a maiden but my name was misspelled and I asked if it could be corrected, so I think it must just have gotten lost in the maintenance.)
But again, I really appreciate my new status!
It would be faithless now to say farewell.

You are very welcome. It is most deserved .
How are you? Weather better ? We're too hot right now but since I've spent only the time to drive to and from work outside I wouldn't really know . Haven't been around much- life is too stressed. That's the way summers go around here.
Hope you're doing well there!
The less I seek my Source for some definitive the closer I am to fine.

The weather's gotten a bit more reasonable, so I'm happy. I was afraid it would just get hotter and hotter until August.

Most of my nominations are for High Elf/rising Maia, so if there are no objections I'd like to be added to this list under this category. Aule's comments not withstanding, I think that being made a Maia too quickly may devalue this honorable ranking. Since I'm at my six week mark I think High Elf is an excellent place for me to place, and will give me something to work up to in the future.
Thanks again to all of those who nominated me! I'm touched to be accepted and counted among you so quickly.

I am an old poster, in all ways. I was here before the first movie. Now I have retreated within my own boundaries - sickened by the ways of the world.
I am now only known in story - and I have many names.
You can call me what you want - I don't care.
You children can prattle-rattle and clash word-swords - charge up with ten sense sentences and prosaic platitudes, you may be insomniacs who have never slept the undreaming sleep of a worker, pedants who really miss the points. Do you realise just how little it all means?
It means just as much as a grey hair in God's eyebrow.
Sad sad sad
Is this really how it will end?

And now please begin to stomp all the orcs here and there...
And still I can't find Windforce!

Not many names from the old days
Just Dirt, Wajz, Wally and Fleabite from the REALLY old times (when I was known then as Alma14)
No fun anymore
I'll only stomp an orc if they annoy me - it's just not worth it
I've posted a pic of me at Dave's - 50th birthday celebrations last year ....don't laugh

You know, Ali, if you reported at all about the AiC reunion, I missed it. How did it go?
Good to see you, btw, both back and in the flesh. You weren't too kind in your descriptions, I actually imagined you more gnarled. If nothing else, the mohawk is a thing of true beauty!
Glad to see you again!

The photo is very flattering - no scars are visible, and the long sleeves hide the MojoJojo tattoo on my arm....
No full (5 piece) reunion yet, Dirt, but we have been playing as a 3 piece at the world famous Scotia Bar recently - acoustic sets of old folk tunes with me on my fiddle and banjo, and the two new boys on accordian and guitar.
I've been working (and then holidaying) in Cuba since the start of April and I'm not long back, so I'm just trying to get my head round the Scottish weather again....I can see AiC becoming a Salsa&Western thrash punk bank now....

I'm tired of being a dwarf.
Don't want to be a Vala (those are even more boring than the elves).
Can I be an Ent instead?
(I would like to nominate mknzy and Ptero for the same category too)
And still I can't find Windforce!

|

I wonder if there's anyone on the board that is both powerful and mysterious enough to be nominated as Tom Bombadil...and it should be someone who has been on these boards for a very long time.

I believe that's Dirtrum's category.

Tubba wants to be an Ent instead of a Dwarf?! I never thought I'd see the day where you wanted to be anything but a Dwarf! What about those 324 mugs of malt beer?! Did you drink those already?! *sigh* no more Dwarf Tubba...

Not to mention the irony inherent in a Dwarf aspiring to become an Ent...most unnatural and hasty....(though I'll support Tubba's desire to make the transition).

A dwarven Ent then?

Like I was saying, wouldn't that be a walking oxymoron (not that you're any sort of moron, Tubby )? How are the other Ents going to feel when you're stumbling about, drunk off of malt beer, waving your axe around and building fires to roast red meat? You may have the wisdom, but I don't know if you have the disposition and lifestyle to live among the Ents.
|
|
|
No, no, for my period of reclusion I would leave the beer, the axe and the red meat behind, Lord.
(And trying to find the entwifes wouldn't be harder than looking for a beardless dwarven chick!)
And still I can't find Windforce!
|
|

Yes, if you want to be...but you'll always be the King amongst Dwarves to me, Tubba!
Gaby
"There's only one person in the whole world like you."

Yeah, the Lonely Mountain King...
Don't worry Gaby. I'm still a dwarf at heart. Ent would be just an honorific title.

Hah, I'm sure you're not lonely...
I won't worry then. Well, if you want to be an Ent, I can't refuse you!

With Tubba's defection, the Aahrruhah is obviously disolved. If that is the case I don't want to be a Dwarf anymore either. I lacks a certain femininity.

That's a bit of a mouthfull Tubba (sorry Tubbaes). So you suggest Hourn for my... you've obviously looked into the deepest darkest corners of my soul Tubba as black hearted I am, in fact so black hearted I give black a bad name Mwaahaaahaaaahaaaahaaaa!!!!!!
But seriously as Hourn what do I get to do, do I just stand around all day thinking dark thoughts and squashing the occasional small being of the two legged variety? only showing my full dark powers when an Ent calls me to arms?
Hmmmm I don't know I think I would have to be a bit more mobile to assist my plan for world domination Mwaahaaahaaaahaaaahaaaa!!!!!! (etc. etc.)
Namáriâë! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar. Nai elyë hiruva. Namáriâë!

Another plan for world domination???? what's with this board? Are you in league with Squirrel, too?
If my love were an earthly knight,

No I'm not in league with squirrel as such whispers actually I'd really rather squirrel not know about my plan as I've managed to lull her into a false sense of security by pretending to be somewhat mad so she doesn't feel threatened. Squirrels may be small but when they they turn into little furballs of rage![[laugh]](http://i.imdb.com/Photos/CMSIcons/emoticons/basic/laugh.gif) .

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE?!
Who ?
Listen me laddo, if you want to go up against me and my army - which is massive and impossible to defeat - then you just try it bucko, you just try it! For you see, you may plan for world domination and think that I do not know, but I do in fact know much more than you think. For instance, I know that right now you're thinking "If only I'd come across more mad, I really should have sat on a box of eggs clucking and getting up every five minutes to do the can can, all wearing a gorilla suit. Maybe then I'd have gotten away with this."
So, as you can see, resistance is futile. Perhaps you ought to join me. If not you will be exterminated. Think about it, you could be a great leader of men, or monkeys if you'd rather, I'm quite an accommodating Mistress *ahem*. With me, you would rule your own part of the land and you would have none of the problems, because it's my job to sort out the problems. You just get the fun bits of ruling.
So, friend, or foe?

Well that's funny...I've already managed to get one of the greatest and strongest Dwarves on my side - Gimlet. Please, Faramiria, the Dwarves do not stand by you, you merely have a small number of followers of which Dwarves constitute the larger number.
My army is greater and therefore the Dwarf:Other Being ratio is of a more skewed proportion.

Greatly pleased I am at your choice, wise friend. Now, first things first - to be inaugurated you must kneel before me and show me how you will serve me.
Then I request that you tell me what land you desire - indeed, you should tell me your heart's deepest desire and I shall endeavour to grant it in the fullest capacity that I can.
You may indeed use your skills on members of the ASL (ie Faramiria and Rosie Gamgee, I am not sure how many more of them there are for they are quiet - these are the two most prolific members of the ASL) and any other dissident who dares to oppose your Mistress.
Capital M please, if you don't mind, or else I might have to punish you. ![[hibaby]](http://i.imdb.com/Photos/CMSIcons/emoticons/extra/hibaby.gif)

what your getting into, my dear dwarf friend. I've never known a Dwarf to kneel before an unworthy ruller. And except punishment and unfair treatment.

What lies you speak foul wench. Put away that forked tongue before I am forced to cut it off and pickle it!
Dear me, I have no issue with Dwarves. For one they are an excellent height indeed.
I am sure that he is fully aware of what I intend for him, and he enjoys my being his Mistress. What is your problem? He obviously enjoys my company, as do so many others.
Perhaps you should stop now Faramiria, for you speak foul words of untruth.

I'm totally happy being a Maiar, seeing how I don't profess to knowing everything about LOTR and the other books. I would like to add a new title to the list, however. I would like to be titled as "Maiar, MTK" - Master Troll Killer. I've dusted off / converted plenty of trolls without reporting them. I nailed a pesky bugger the other day on the 1978 board in about 20 minutes by using harsh reverse psychology on him. My bag of tricks is deep and effective. I even befriended Wommy when he was still getting booted every other day.

My best recent Troll-kill was War-The-Hedgehog. He deleted his whole account. And all I did was, after he accused everyone here of being geeks, was to find and copy a love letter he had written to Luke Skywalker over on a "Star Wars" board.
Removed by his own request- That one counts as a kill.
Look- he's trying to think!

Well ...
Some like being hobbits. Some like being elves, I did
You can't very well expect me to do the initial nomination
Just put yourself were you feel the most comfortable.
I don't know ... dwarf? man? elf?

I would love to see myself as a proud Rohirrim warrior, but due to my habit of reading mainly the complicated threads and correcting people I am worried that I am turning more into an know-it-all Elrond smart-arse.
Your (kind) thoughts please.

On that note, I nominate you for elf.
Now seriously, it sounds like you'd be happiest as a King of Men.
Just think of a title, and you can stay there
Till when you get tired of that of course, in which case I'll be the first to put you as a high-elf

What exactly goes into the nominations? Time registered as a Ringnut? Usual presence? Flamboyance?
Have restricted myself from nominating anyone due to most of them probably going to just be personal favorites...

I'm guessing quality of posts, breadth of Tolkien knowledge, and experience.
Yes, I rarely nominate anyone because I know I'm closer to some here than to others.
I have my books and my poetry to protect me.
|
|
|
And I'm guessing not.
Some of the Valar stray into the OT more than the OnT...some people close to constant No-topic posts are higher up than revelant posters.
I hate to say it, but this is just another popularity contest.

I actually like the premise of this thread.
It's very well made, and I don't think I ever congratulated Sirritus for starting the whole thing.
http://ringnuts.bravehost.com/hobbitelfdwarf.htm
Looking at that thread, it's pretty clear that Sirritus just wanted some way of knowing who's more knowledgeable in the ways of the board.
It pretty much was a self-nomination thing, you just put yourself in the category you think fits you best. Of course, Sirritus also left room for nominations, knowing that the most knowledgeable regulars probably would be too modest too say where they really belong.
If you look at the definitions from Hobbit to Elf, the main difference is how much experience you have on the board. And as a practical matter, anyone can really nominate themselves into any one of these categories. As is reflected in the list, most of the regulars here should be elves. But some regulars like being thought of as men or hobbits, so it's not exactly a strict classification, though it's still useful as a general guide.
Like I said, anyone can nominate themselves wherever they want in this range; so they can always move themselves up, or down .
As with regards to the higher categories, I think that's what Sirritus really wanted to know. Though I think he could just have asked athene, which is what I did back when I was a newbie and needed help.
Which brings us to the Valar, all of which have been put there by athene. She should know better than anyone who goes there, and that's really all there needs to be said on that subject. Though if you have questions, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to ask her
And finally are the Maiar, since they more or less have to be nominated by the board, I guess there is an element of popularity involved. But just because they're popular, doesn't mean they don't fit Sirritus's definition now does it?
Hope that helps.
