Ummm, yeah. I'm back.
 
Did it correct the oldest of its kind?

Did it correct the oldest of its kind?

What's your answer, Nil?

Hookbill the Goomba 06-08-2005 11:45 PM

Is it where waters are many?

NightKnight 06-09-2005 04:49 AM

Hookbill, wait for Nil's answer. You might get a new letter then.

Hookbill the Goomba 06-09-2005 04:50 AM

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I was very tired and dreading an exam when I posted that, so, you’ll have to forgive me on that account.

Nilpaurion Felagund 06-09-2005 11:23 PM

My answer?
 
Odo Proudfoot, who corrected Bilbo, the oldest Hobbit, regarding his surname's plural.

Next letter, please.

NightKnight 06-10-2005 05:56 AM

Ooh, nice one. Next letter is R, so the word starts with OR.

Hookbill the Goomba 06-10-2005 07:28 AM

Is it that which seems like the end, but isn't?

NightKnight 06-10-2005 01:15 PM

Is it that which seems like the end, but isn't?

It's not Orfalch Echor.

Hookbill the Goomba 06-10-2005 02:05 PM

Nilpaurion Felagund 06-11-2005 12:59 AM

Did it have two meanings?

Evisse the Blue 06-11-2005 04:28 AM

Is it one that keeps watch even in the grave?

NightKnight 06-12-2005 02:43 PM

Did it have two meanings?

It's not Orthanc.

Hookbill and Evisse, your answers, please?

Hookbill the Goomba 06-12-2005 11:44 PM

Hurah!
 
My answer was Orodruin. Frodo calls it the End of all things, but it isn’t, as the world seems to go on after they have left it.

the same answer cannot be given more than once to the questions being asked by the guessers. That's why, for example, we can keep on asking "Is it a Dwarf?" and expect a different answer each time. If the person who has set the clue cannot give an answer, then he/she must ask the person who asked the question to give their answer. If their answer is one which has previously been given, the game simply carries on.
the person who has set the clue needs to keep in mind the answers already given and guessers should try to avoid asking a question to which the only answer (or at least the only answer that they can think of) is one which has already been given.

So no, that won't give you a new letter.

Hookbill the Goomba 06-13-2005 12:15 PM

Yeah, sorry folks, I didn't see that it was already used... :o

I'll go and hide...

NightKnight 06-14-2005 09:56 AM

Don't worry, just wait until Evisse posts her answer, and you can ask a new question.

Evisse the Blue 06-14-2005 02:51 PM

My answer is Orcrist, Thorin's sword, who was buried with its master and warned the dwarves of the approach of enemies by glowing in the dark - thus guarding the fortress.

NightKnight 06-15-2005 04:41 AM

And that was also my answer. Your turn, Blue One. :)

Evisse the Blue 06-15-2005 06:17 AM

cool :D
 
Thankies, NK. :)

Starts with a S.

Gil-Galad 06-15-2005 07:08 AM

Did it make(in a way) hatred between two races?

NightKnight 06-16-2005 05:54 AM

Is it a guide?

Hookbill the Goomba 06-16-2005 09:31 AM

Is it he who was second to Melkor?

Evisse the Blue 06-16-2005 12:24 PM

It's not Saeros, Strider, or Sauron

Gil-Galad 06-16-2005 12:25 PM

Hookbill the Goomba 06-16-2005 12:38 PM

Evisse the Blue 06-16-2005 12:40 PM

It's not the Silmarils.
Or....Sulimo?

Hookbill the Goomba 06-16-2005 12:50 PM

Blast!
 
Okay...

Is it he who has tenfold shields on his back?

Gil-Galad 06-16-2005 05:25 PM

Did it make(in a way) hatred between two races?

Nilpaurion Felagund 06-16-2005 06:54 PM

Is it a royal term of derision?

Evisse the Blue 06-17-2005 01:03 PM

It's not Smaug, Saruman, or ...Sir?

I think that to Gil-galad's question there are 1000 more possible answers. Ok, I may be exagerating a bit :p

Gil-Galad 06-17-2005 02:11 PM

Nilpaurion Felagund 06-18-2005 04:26 AM

Evisse the Blue 06-18-2005 11:32 AM

It's not Sharkey or Steward.

Hookbill the Goomba 06-18-2005 01:24 PM

Is it that which sometimes covers the light?

Evisse the Blue 06-19-2005 04:59 AM

Hehe.

paavo 06-19-2005 09:24 AM

Did he get three gifts, an elvish knife being the least of them?
