the what if... fill in the blank game!!! - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Cathelm · 08-05-2003, 12:18 PM

Ok, I'm taking a guess as I haven't read that part of the Silm yet, but I'm guessing...

Melian, Thingol, Beren,

Then a lot of stuff would work for the last one:
Elwing, Elrond, Elros, Elladan, Elrohir, Arwen, and, a long time later, Aragorn.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 08-06-2003, 11:35 AM

Not correct.

elven maiden Earwen · 08-06-2003, 11:41 AM

If Ivorwen hadn't persuaded Dirhael to let their daugher marry Arathorn then Aragorn wouldn't have been born

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 08-06-2003, 11:45 AM

Perfection, Earwen. Stunning. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 08-13-2003, 09:35 PM

If ________ hadn't invited _______ for tea, the ___________ might have never gotten a _________.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 08-14-2003, 01:34 AM

If Gandalf hadn't invited Thorin for tea, the expedition might have never gotten a thief.

The last bit doesn't quite seem to clinch, though.

elven maiden Earwen · 08-14-2003, 09:51 AM

right story wrong answer. Very close. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Cathelm · 08-14-2003, 04:10 PM

Probably not right, but:

If Bilbo hadn't invited Gandalf to tea, the hobbit might never have gotten a ring?

just a guess.

Manardariel · 08-15-2003, 04:51 AM

If Gandalf and the dwarves hadn't invited themselves for tea, the expedition might have never gotten a thirteeth member.

kinda the same thing..... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 08-15-2003, 10:05 PM

nope and nope but Cathelm was right on the first two.
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Manardariel · 08-19-2003, 04:17 AM

BILBO may have never gotten....
-money/ treasures
-long life

FRODO may have never gotten.....
-a ring
-nazgul poisoning (eventually)
- an adventure

GOLLUM may have never gotten....
-rid of the ring

THORIN AND THE DWARVES may have never gotten....
-their kingodom back

all I can think of for now.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 08-19-2003, 10:14 AM

i'm just popping in too say if you are enjoying this game i made

Gil-Galad

elven maiden Earwen · 08-19-2003, 01:44 PM

Nope. Didn't think this was that hard. But you were right on Thorin and the dwarves. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Cathelm · 08-19-2003, 01:51 PM

Probably still not right, but I'm trying to get closer...

If Bilbo hadn't invited Gandalf to tea, the dwarves might never have gotten a burgler/14th member.

elven maiden Earwen · 08-19-2003, 10:57 PM

Ahh but you are correct. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Great job

Cathelm · 09-04-2003, 10:09 PM

Probably simple, but:

If the Orcs hadn't met up with _____'s company, then _____ and _____ wouldn't have escaped and met _____.

Mariska Greenleaf · 09-05-2003, 09:50 AM

Eomer
Merry
Pippin
Treebeard

Cathelm · 09-05-2003, 06:41 PM

Very good, Mariska! You're up.

Evisse the Blue · 09-23-2003, 12:31 PM

"If_______hadn't saved the_________ in the Old _________, __________would have probably killed them."

Mithisilien · 09-23-2003, 08:57 PM

Tom Bombadil
Hobbits

Old Man Willow

Mariska Greenleaf · 09-24-2003, 03:47 AM

The Perky Ent · 04-12-2004, 09:23 PM

This looks cool, and i love giving life so...

*****REVIVE*****

The way this game works is you give a sentence with something blanked and someone has to give the answer in the blank

Example: Is ____ never found the ring, he wouldn't have 9 fingers.

The answer would be Frodo!

Looks good? Hope so! Anyways, here's the new question:

If Gondolin hadn't fallen, Frodo wouldn't of received _____.

Ask away! should be easy!

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-13-2004, 05:13 AM

Sting.

The Perky Ent · 04-13-2004, 09:59 AM

But of course!

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-13-2004, 06:32 PM

Thank you, Perky.

If Thorin hadn't spoken with ________, then ________ would not have fought at the Battle of Five Armies.

Should be fairly easy ...

Fingolfin II · 04-14-2004, 12:58 AM

Gandalf, Bilbo.

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-14-2004, 11:29 AM

True, I suppose, but not what I'm looking for.

I'll edit the question to make it a bit clearer ...

Evisse the Blue · 04-14-2004, 02:34 PM

Gandalf, Beorn?

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-14-2004, 04:31 PM

Doh! Another possibility, but not the one that I have in mind.

The first blank is not Gandalf. After all, it is quite likely that the Battle of Five Armies would not have taken place at all if Thorin had never spoken to Gandalf.

Firefoot · 04-14-2004, 06:11 PM

Roäc, Dain?

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-14-2004, 06:24 PM

But of course. Onwards, Firefoot.

Firefoot · 04-14-2004, 06:43 PM

Thanks!

If the _______ of _______ hadn't seen the smoke, _______ and ______ probably wouldn't have been captured.

Bombadil · 04-14-2004, 08:39 PM

Men, Gondor, Frodo, Sam

Evisse the Blue · 04-15-2004, 03:58 AM

Just to be picky I'd say the Rangers of Ithilien instead of Men of Gondor

Firefoot · 04-15-2004, 04:55 AM

Evisse has it.

Evisse the Blue · 04-15-2004, 07:44 AM

If _______ had done as instructed by _______, ______ would have set off earlier on the quest.

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-15-2004, 09:47 AM

Barliman Butterbur
Gandalf
Frodo

Evisse the Blue · 04-15-2004, 03:26 PM

Correct!
