Acronyms - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Urwen · 03-11-2020, 04:15 AM

I saw this on another forum and decided to modify it a bit. Basically, a person posts an acronym of a person's name and people guess it. As per the rule, whoever guesses it right gets to continue the game.

First one.

M.L

Yay

Pervinca Took · 03-11-2020, 06:18 AM

Maeglin Lomion?

Urwen · 03-11-2020, 07:00 AM

You decide.

Pervinca Took · 03-11-2020, 07:21 AM

R.u.m.

Huinesoron · 03-13-2020, 08:51 AM

That U is completely stumping me.

Is R.u.m. all of this person's names, or just some?

hS

Pervinca Took · 03-13-2020, 09:27 AM

Some.

Urwen · 03-13-2020, 10:20 AM

Are those different names for the same person?

Pervinca Took · 03-13-2020, 11:49 AM

Yes.

Urwen · 03-13-2020, 11:52 AM

Frodo?

Ring-bearer, Underhill and Maura Labingi.

Pervinca Took · 03-13-2020, 02:03 PM

Correct!

Urwen · 03-13-2020, 02:47 PM

M.Z

(Same principle as in yours.)

Pervinca Took · 03-13-2020, 03:24 PM

Miriel Zimraphel?

Urwen · 03-13-2020, 03:33 PM

Yes.

On a related note, the three geniuses of the quiz room are finally online at the same time.

Pervinca Took · 03-13-2020, 03:34 PM

Teasel

Urwen · 03-13-2020, 04:03 PM

Aragorn.

Pervinca Took · 03-13-2020, 04:26 PM

Yes ... what names?

Urwen · 03-13-2020, 04:33 PM

Thorongil, Estel, Aragorn, Strider, Elessar, Longshanks

Pervinca Took · 03-13-2020, 07:07 PM

Telcontar, but Thorongil works just as well.

And I had Envinyatar instead of Estel.

Your go!

Urwen · 06-09-2021, 04:14 PM

B.e

Pervinca Took · 06-09-2021, 04:47 PM

Beren Erchamion.

Urwen · 06-10-2021, 12:07 AM

Yes.

Pervinca Took · 06-10-2021, 12:16 AM

To

Galadriel55 · 06-10-2021, 06:08 AM

Thorin Oakenshield?

Pervinca Took · 06-10-2021, 06:25 AM

That's the chap!

Galadriel55 · 06-10-2021, 07:53 AM

Next up: BBBB

(all different names or titles of one person... I got four B's, bonus points if you think of a fifth for this character)

Pervinca Took · 06-10-2021, 08:56 AM

Burglar Bilbo Baggins, Bungo's son?

Well, you brought it up to 6, I suppose. I had Bilbo Baggins, Burrahobbit, Barrel-Rider. Go for it!

Pervinca Took · 06-10-2021, 09:21 AM

A 'cop' one.

FBI

Or FIB, if you prefer.

Urwen · 06-10-2021, 01:15 PM

Oh, I know. It's Fredegar Ignatius Bolger, the true hero of the Shire!

Pervinca Took · 06-10-2021, 02:03 PM

Nope!

Urwen · 06-10-2021, 02:19 PM

Frodo Baggins + Iorhael, then?

Pervinca Took · 06-10-2021, 02:27 PM

Yes.
