====== 100 Down ====== ===== Recruitment ===== [[treesong|Treesong]] had been trying to lure me (although not me specifically -- he was casting his net wide) at [[misc:acpt1998|Stamford]] for a couple of years, but it was after I'd been on a treasure hunt team with [[belleslettres|Belles Lettres]]/[[arbutus|Arbutus]]/[[pebbles|Pebbles]], and got a more personal invitation (and a nom!) that I finally gave in. **Source:** npl-folk email from 100 Down. //First Issue:// Feb 1992 ===== Recruits ===== * [[gnatural|G Natural]] ===== Nom ===== I claimed, when pressed by [[belleslettres|Belles Lettres]], that I couldn't join because I couldn't think of anything clever to do with my name for a nom (now why, since of the four people who show as my "parents" in the tree only Pebbles' nom has any relation to her name, I thought this was even a point worth mentioning, I can't tell you). "Well," said she, "we'll take care of that right now." And [[belleslettres|Belles]] and Cathy Milhauser sat down and proceeded (with one or two less promising stops along the way) to transpose ED RICE into C EIDER. And there it is: 100 DOWN. I surrendered; and the rest, as they say, is history. ==== Combinoms ==== My first combinom came from working with my solving partner, [[tyger|Tyger]]. Together, we're TYED DOWN. This was such an evocative combinom that when the //Underground Enigma II// came out, we had an entry with the combinom serving as the end of the final line. My most prolific partnership has been with [[xemu|Xemu]]. He and I are MARK DOWN. (See 1 mark 3 c in 10C.) He did do one verse on a base of mine: I believe we used CMU for that, but I'll have to check. When I versify [[wabbit|Wabbit]]'s bases, we become WATERSHIP DOWN. This capitalizes both on the starting WA of her nom, and on its wabbity totality. I've also done a couple of [[qed|QED]]'s bases. QEDown was the combinom we used. The only other I remember [. . .] was for a flat I wrote to the tune of "Hernando's Hideaway" for a base by [[quiz|Beacon]], as he was then. We picked BEAM DOWN for our byline. * Beam Down: [[quiz|Beacon]]/100 Down. * Cmu: 100 Down/[[xemu|Xemu]]. * Hunki: 100 Down/[[lucifer|Meki]]. * Mark Down: [[xemu|Xemu]]/100 Down. * QEDown: [[qed|QED]]/100 Down. * Tyed Down: [[tyger|Tyger]]/100 Down. * Watership Down: [[wabbit|Wabbit]]/100 Down, * Wend Down: [[katethegreat|Wendy]]/100 Down. =====Offices ===== * 1st VP (1995 - 1998) * Extras editor (1996 - 2000) * President (1999 - 2001)
