Vána here. I logged out to post as Nimrodel in the Tavern. And now I can't log back in as myself! It doesn't recognize my name!

Ack!

Whatever you log in as, you'll always be Vbox to me!

Did you ever email the Powers that Be about the problems you were having with your Vána account? If so, what did they say?

I'm sorry, we don't know you. Go away.

to both of you.

Yes, I did e-mail, but never heard back. [Frown]

I guess I could try again. Or do you think it would be better to report the post and add an explaination? Do you think that might get a response where an e-mail didn't?

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Now how come it Vána shows up correctly in the text of your first post here,

but shows up as Vbox when you post under that screenname?

hmm..

A fond forever farewell to Vbox....
[Razz]

Seriously Vana, I hope it all works out for you. [Frown]

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

NO! Vana my goddess!

Posted by Nimrodel the Kitten (Member # 5244) on :

I know, Telperion! It's so tragic!

Posted by Nimrodel the Kitten (Member # 5244) on :

I reported the first post in this thread, and wrote a little explaination. I hope I hear back this time!

Vbox was bad enough, I certainly don't want to loose my name altogether! [Cry]

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

Well.... at least your current name is also a sorrowful maiden... [Wink]

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

Oh Amroth! Don't go! *sorrow*

It's a kitten! *happy!*

no way... must be sorrowful.. *feel the sorrow*

awww... kitten is so CUTE! *HAPPY*

Posted by Nimrodel the Kitten (Member # 5244) on :

I don't think I ever thought of Vána as sorrowful...or even Nimrodel, really, except that she got lost. She was probably pretty sad after that.

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

Well...Vana was sad for the Trees. [Smile]

Posted by Nimrodel the Kitten (Member # 5244) on :

Yeah, I'll give you that. [Smile]

And poor Nimrodel - though, it's not like Amroth left her on purpose! Though it was pretty stupid of him to just jump in the sea and likely drown himself on his way back to shore. Men. Why must they be so rash so often?

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

Men rash? What about the women! [Wink]

Didn't Vana and her Maiar wenches let the Fruit of the Sun get too big and let it crack?
Didn't Nimrodel jump in the sea too? (Or did she just die from grief?? Ooo... can't remember!)
[Big Grin]

Posted by Nimrodel the Kitten (Member # 5244) on :

Err...not sure about Vána's role in actually growing the Fruit of the Sun - I'd have to go back and reread that. But Nimrodel, from the song in FotR anyway, simply became lost in the mountains and was never seen again. Amroth's ship got pulled out to sea by a storm while he was waiting for her to show up, and when he woke up and realized it, instead of trying to bring the ship back in, he jumped into the ocean and tried to swim back to shore. He, also, was never heard from again.

Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :

This is just poetic justice in response to the girly, completely unnecessary practice of using alternate names in the Tavern.

Posted by Nimrodel the Kitten (Member # 5244) on :

But I usually use my real name in the Tavern! You will notice from the post history that before this little incident, Nimrodel had only posted 9 times in a year, and only ever said "meow."

[Razz]

Posted by Phanto (Member # 5897) on :

Oh yes!

Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :

It doesn't matter. Even though you're not at much fault quantitatively, by choosing the name "Nimrodel the Kitten" you have amplified the schmaltz factor by like a million. Therefore you invited poetic justice, and got it. Bwahah!

Rakeesh, you're just evil.

Posted by skillery (Member # 6209) on :

Can't you cut and paste V�na from an old post into the login field?

Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :

Heard anything yet?

Posted by Nimrodel the Kitten (Member # 5244) on :

I got an e-mail! They gave me some instructions, and are going to try to fix it. [Smile]

I'd really like to be able to keep my á. It makes me happy. So, I'll let you know if they have any luck!

Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :

Testing, testing...

Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :

Whoo-hoo!

Posted by tt&t (Member # 5600) on :

Yay! [Smile]

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

What happened to the box?

Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :

It's gone! I'm me again!

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Yay! Vána got fixed! [Big Grin]

(OoC, here I come!)

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

For the post or the parenthetical comment? [Evil Laugh]

For some reason, today this thread made me think of Mr. Bill.
