Grrr stupid message didn't get through . . . again!
Ok a question:
For two points how many dwarves went with Balin to retake Moria?

NightKnight · 05-11-2004, 11:33 AM

I bid two points, and say unknown. We know of six plus Balin: Ori, Oin, Floi, Frar, Loni and Nali.

The Perky Ent · 05-16-2004, 08:02 AM

...Kath...

Kath · 05-16-2004, 08:20 AM

Really starting to hate the emailing system.
But on a happier note - yes NightKnight you were correct, you're too clever to be fooled by trick questions!

NightKnight · 05-16-2004, 12:55 PM

Thank you.

For 3 points: What was Nargothrond called before Finrod came there?

Bombadil · 05-16-2004, 05:58 PM

i bid three points and say

Narog-ost-rond?

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-16-2004, 07:08 PM

I'll bid 3 points and answer Nulukkizdin

NightKnight · 05-17-2004, 07:11 AM

Luthien has it. Your turn, princess.

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-18-2004, 04:02 PM

For 2 points...

What was torn when Mim found out that Khim was dead?

Firefoot · 05-18-2004, 04:22 PM

For two points: Mîm's beard.

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-18-2004, 08:09 PM

right-e-o, firefoot

Firefoot · 05-19-2004, 01:35 PM

For 4 points: who wanted to kill Mîm?

Evisse the Blue · 05-20-2004, 12:32 AM

I bet 2 points and say Beleg - because I'm sure there was also someone else who wanted to kill him.

Fingolfin II · 05-20-2004, 01:12 AM

I'll also bid 2 points, but I'll say Hurin, because he did kill him and I suppose if he killed him, he must have wanted to....I guess.

Firefoot · 05-20-2004, 01:40 PM

Neither.

Evisse the Blue · 05-21-2004, 05:30 AM

Aha! I bid 4 points and say Androg.

Firefoot · 05-21-2004, 05:32 AM

That's the one!

Evisse the Blue · 05-21-2004, 05:39 AM

For 3 points: how many names does an individual dwarf have?

Firefoot · 05-21-2004, 06:11 AM

I bid 3 points: two names - one secret one in Dwarvish, and the other one by which they are known.

Evisse the Blue · 05-21-2004, 10:45 AM

Right-o!

Firefoot · 05-21-2004, 01:30 PM

3 points: What kind of trees did the Dwarves (and Bilbo) climb to escape from Goblins?

Sirithheruwen · 05-21-2004, 06:11 PM

Fir?

Evisse the Blue · 05-21-2004, 11:48 PM

Sirith, you have to strate your bet!

Kath · 05-22-2004, 04:41 AM

Hey can we cheat on this?
If I say:
I bid three points - fir.
Can I get the points?

Fingolfin II · 05-22-2004, 06:07 AM

I think Kath, that Sirith gets only one point since he didn't place a bid, according to one of Perky's previous posts. Nice try, though

.

Firefoot · 05-22-2004, 06:07 AM

Sorry Kath. Sirith has the right answer, but since she (?) didn't place a bid there is only one point awarded. Your turn Sirith.

Hey, Fingolfin, we posted on the same minute!

The Perky Ent · 05-22-2004, 10:01 AM

Sorry I haven't updated in a while! Exams

Anyway, here's the tallies:

NightKnnight - +2

Bombadil - -3

Luthien-elvenprincess - +3

Firefoot - +4

Evisse the blue - +2

Fingolfin II - -2

Sirithheruwen - +1 (if you don't place a bet, 1 point is the standard)

so, now it's Sirithheruwen's turn! I'll get these points tallied ASAP

Sirithheruwen · 05-22-2004, 03:09 PM

D'oh! I always do that!

For 2 points, how many dwarves accompanied Biblo, and what are their names?

Firefoot · 05-22-2004, 03:47 PM

I'll bid 2 points. 13 dwarves: Thorin, Fili, Kili, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Balin, Dwalin, Ori, Nori, Dori, Oin, Gloin.

Sirithheruwen · 05-22-2004, 03:48 PM

Correct-o-mundo!

Firefoot · 05-22-2004, 04:04 PM

For three points: What was the name of Thrór's companion when he went to Moria?

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-22-2004, 04:09 PM

For 3 points, I will answer Nar

Firefoot · 05-22-2004, 04:21 PM

Yeppers.

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-22-2004, 04:32 PM

For 3 points:
While trekking through Mirkwood, what did the group roast and find so horrible to the taste that they never tried it again?

Firefoot · 05-22-2004, 04:35 PM

I bid three points: a squirrel.

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-22-2004, 04:36 PM

Nuts to you, you're right

Firefoot · 05-22-2004, 04:40 PM

Three points: which of the 13 Dwarves had a blue beard?

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-22-2004, 04:43 PM

For 3 points
Dwalin had a blue beard

Firefoot · 05-22-2004, 04:44 PM

That's correct, but you forgot to bid.

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-22-2004, 04:45 PM

Wow, I almost immediately edit my post, but you had already answered!
