No worries Lhuna, thanks for remembering in your daily hecticness.

Lottie's long saving of Turin pays off, that's back-to-back.

It's okay. I can't win, but I can at least tie the phantom.

Boromir88 · 09-15-2012, 01:35 PM

Tally

Gwath- 4 (Neglected, Charming, Rank, Conceited)
the phantom - 3 (Honest, Insane, Violent)
Lottie- 3 (Melodramatic, Cranky, Bold)
Nogrod - 2 (Extraordinary, Peaceful)
Menel - 2 (Cuddly, Ridiculous)
sally - 2 (Chewy, Dangerous)
Kitanna - 2 (Deadly, Sensitive)
Kath- 2 (Attractive, Dashing)
G55- 2 (Radiant, Spicy)
Lhuna - 1 (Weary)

----

ROUND 24

Several realms and places for you Nog, but many of which fit for creative, in my opinion.

Formenos
Woodwoses
Hennuth Annun
Helm's Deep
The Wooden Whale
The Golden Hall
Sinking of Numenor
Doriath
Undying Lands
Mordor

I would like to thank all the little people whose names I can't remember...

As for 'creative', Helm's Deep, maybe, or The Sinking of Numenor strike me as particularly good choices.

Nogrod · 09-15-2012, 04:08 PM

Creative (imaginative, artistic, original)

Just the first impressions before going to sleep.

The Undying Lands, for sure.

Sinking of Númenor, for a funny - or creative - answer.

Formenos, for a pretty good one.

Mordor or the Golden Hall, maybe...

Or any other option if you can make me think it that way.

With Formenos leading off the list it was rather easy to eliminate the ones that came after- until reaching the Undying Lands. Both of those are very good. Formenos as the home of the ultra-creative Feanor and the Undying Lands as the home of the Ainur who sang creation into existence.

For a Feanor-phile Formenos probably wins, and for others the Undying Lands is the choice.

Gwathagor · 09-15-2012, 06:33 PM

I like to think a lot of creation went into building the Wooden Whale...

Nogrod · 09-16-2012, 01:54 PM

Last round, less than ten minutes and no arguments made on behalf or against anyone / -thing since the beginning...

HOw do you think I will choose if you don't help me out?

Nogrod · 09-16-2012, 02:03 PM

Hirilondë - the most creative thing in that was the size... dismissed.

Mordor - anything Sauron "created" was a mock image of the real artistry of creation... twisted imitations, so nothing original. Dismissed.

The Golden Hall - doesn't even come near... dismissed.

Formenos - a great triumph of creativity (the fortress) where a lot of talent lived. A good one.

The Undying lands - A lot of the same as with Formenos, but with larger scale. A very good one.

But as no one rfeally put themselves into arguing anything the winner is

++ Sinking of Numénor

Just for the entertainment value of the idea of that being Eru's most imaginative idea of how to get rid of the too self-confident and vain Numénorians...

and you know what the liberalists talk nowadays about the "creative destruction"! To the point!
