I spy
 
I spy with Sauron's eye... or maybe a palantir...

OK, so this is a game of ME "I spy". For those who do not know how to play, it's fairly easy. I say "I spy with Sauron's eye something that is [ insert colour (s) ]", and you have to guess what it is. You have to continue guessing until you name the thing that I had in mind. The person to get it right says the next colour. If no one can guess, the person asking can give clues.

Example: I spy with Sauron's eye something that is gold.

- Is it Laurelin? No.

-Is it Finrod's hair? No.

-Is it Lothlorien? Yes.


Let's start with something easy. I spy with Sauron's eye something that is black.


PS: Please don't choose things like "grass" or "sky". Do something interesting ME-related. However, you can do places/things/etc that involve something like that. (eg I can say that Calenardhon is green, because it's grassy, but my object is Calenardhon, not grass.)

Almesiva Moonshadow 03-25-2011 10:01 AM

Okay...let me start...:D

ummmm...let's see...How about Mormegil? Turin's black sword? :p

Galadriel55 03-25-2011 02:26 PM

Do you mean Gurthang? Mormegil was Turin's nickname.

Gurthang - no.
Mormegil - no.

Blind Guardian 03-28-2011 09:42 PM

Grond (or whatever it's called; Melkor's hammer)?

Melkor's cloak? ;)

Galadriel55 03-29-2011 05:07 AM

Gurthang - no.
Mormegil - no.
Grond - no
Melkor's cloak - no


Clue: don't go into details. It's something BIG.

Azrakhor Akallabeth 04-12-2011 08:45 PM

**shudder**
 
A Valaraukar of Morgoth?

Galadriel55 04-12-2011 08:53 PM

Gurthang - no.
Mormegil - no.
Grond - no
Melkor's cloak - no
Valaraukar (Balrog) - sorry to disappoint you, but no. (I think it's more black+fiery... :p)

Don't think of people. And think BIG.

Azrakhor Akallabeth 04-13-2011 02:56 PM

I.. I...
 
So, that whole fiery thingy would cover Mount Doom... let's see... umm... Barad Dur? String, or nothing!

Galadriel55 04-13-2011 04:00 PM

You got it! It's Barad-dur! :D

Your turn!

PS: I means that the Balrog would be fiery and black, not the thing I had in mind. Sorry for the misunderstanding. But you got it anyways!

Azrakhor Akallabeth 04-13-2011 04:13 PM

I spy
 
Hurray for my side! **pats self on the back** I had hoped that string or nothing was the answer but Barad-dur will suffice! Ok, not people, but things...

So, ok, here goes...

I spy with Sauron's eye... or maybe a palantir...

Something that is grey

Galadriel55 04-13-2011 07:50 PM

Gandalf? (before his rebirth, that is)

Azrakhor Akallabeth 04-13-2011 08:24 PM

Mithrandir
 
Gandalf- No. It's not a person.

Galadriel55 04-13-2011 08:26 PM

How about a lorien cloak?

Azrakhor Akallabeth 04-13-2011 08:31 PM

You Can't See Meeee....
 
Lorien Cloak- No. Wrong substance.

Galadriel55 04-13-2011 08:40 PM

The rocks and stones
Are hard as bones
All bare of meat
And now we wish - we had an answer. :p

Nah, that's too general... my guess is... um... um... Mitheithel (Grey Springs, grey, right? ;))

Azrakhor Akallabeth 04-13-2011 08:54 PM

Owee!
 
Getting warmer. Fantastic guess, but no. Not Mitheithel. You are on the right track with stones. But it is specific thing of stone, and not a Palantir. As you said before think big!

Azrakhor Akallabeth 04-14-2011 02:46 AM

No Hatin'
 
Perhaps if I bent the rules and gave a small clue? Don't Censure me if I take too much liberty, just boo me down...

I spy with Saurons Eye
An object grey and cold-
Not caverns deep,
nor vaulted Keep,
still, something new
yet old.

Galadriel55 04-14-2011 05:13 AM

You're alowed to give any kind of clues you want.


Helm's Deep?

Azrakhor Akallabeth 04-14-2011 05:45 AM

"nor vaulted Keep"

Helms Deep falls under this. So, Helm's Deep- No. :cool:

Galadriel55 04-14-2011 03:19 PM

...Misty Mountains?

That was random. :p

Azrakhor Akallabeth 04-14-2011 05:26 PM

In the running...
 
I spy with Saurons Eye
An object grey and cold-
Not caverns deep,
nor vaulted Keep,
still, something new
yet old.


Misty Mountains: No, and Too generic

"still, something new
yet old."

Old would cover the Misty Mountain Range but something new? Think of a thing newer than it's host object of origin. Here is another clue...

Beyond the tall
and frothy falls,
The Faithful's
northern lands-
not marked by gates
or fortress walls,
but stern majestic hands.

Even the least inquisitive of Hobbits could guess this one, now. :D

Galadriel55 04-14-2011 05:39 PM

I'd say the argonath, but they are near Gondor, not Arnor.

Unless the clue means to the north of the land, and then it makes more sense.

Azrakhor Akallabeth 04-14-2011 05:46 PM

Ay... Aye... Aye...
 
Yes. And yes. And yes. And again, yes. :D

Galadriel55 04-14-2011 05:58 PM

All righty then...

I spy with Sauron's eye something that is silver.

Azrakhor Akallabeth 04-14-2011 07:18 PM

String... or nothing!
 
A Dwarven Perspective~

Not pallored moon
nor star so fair
nor Anduins'
ribboned trail

not Celebrimbor's
silvery hair
compares
to Mithril Mail.


-Frodo's Armor

Galadriel55 04-14-2011 08:27 PM

If your guess is Frodo's mithril coat, then I have to say no.

Narnangol 08-11-2011 02:47 PM

Telperion?

I must admit that I do not remember the answer, so if you want you can take the thread! :)
