the what if... fill in the blank game!!! - Page 4 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Bombadil · 06-02-2004, 10:33 AM

nope!

Morsul the Dark · 06-02-2004, 12:43 PM

here's a joke answer

bard's parents bard smaug

Bombadil · 06-02-2004, 02:02 PM

Hey dol, a joke indeed!

Morsul the Dark · 06-02-2004, 04:41 PM

can we have a hint?

Bombadil · 06-02-2004, 05:31 PM

hmm, I suppose! The second blank is "dwarves."

Son of Númenor · 06-02-2004, 05:38 PM

Then the first blank is Aulë, & the third is... Smaug, I suppose.

Bombadil · 06-02-2004, 05:54 PM

Very good son of Numenor! You are up!

Son of Númenor · 06-02-2004, 06:07 PM

If _______ hadn't met ________, then Aragorn would never have met _________.

Morsul the Dark · 06-02-2004, 06:10 PM

elrond, celebrian, arwen?

Son of Númenor · 06-02-2004, 11:30 PM

Wow, I just realized how easy that one was. Sorry Downers. Your go, Dark Morsel.. er.. Morsul.

Morsul the Dark · 06-06-2004, 08:22 PM

let's see

if _______ didnt go on an ________ then ________ would not have gone to _______.

(the last blank has multiple answers)

Bombadil · 06-06-2004, 08:37 PM

Gandalf, Eagle, Frodo, Rivendell?

Morsul the Dark · 06-06-2004, 08:39 PM

thats not what im looking for although the last two are right

Bombadil · 06-06-2004, 08:41 PM

Bilbo, Adventure, Frodo, Rivendell?

Morsul the Dark · 06-06-2004, 08:46 PM

but of course i would have also accepted mordor khazad-dum bree or anywhere else they went to

Bombadil · 06-06-2004, 08:51 PM

If ______ didn't take the _________, then ______ would not have named him _______.

Morsul the Dark · 06-06-2004, 08:54 PM

ok here's a guess oh an by the way thanks for picking one I don't know!

I think it's Aragorn Throne Gandalf King
or Aragorn Crown Gandalf King

Son of Númenor · 06-06-2004, 09:03 PM

If Sméagol didn't take Ring, then his family would not have named him Gollum.

Morsul the Dark · 06-06-2004, 09:06 PM

I thaught they called him Gollum before he had even gotten the ring, no?

The Perky Ent · 06-06-2004, 10:03 PM

No, he was Smeagol until the ring had taken over his mind. As for the question, mine's like Morsul's, but a little different. If Aragorn didn't take the elfstone, then Galadriel would not have named him Elessar

How's that Bombadil? ...Bombadil?

Evisse the Blue · 06-07-2004, 02:03 AM

If Melkor didn't take the Silmarils, then Feanor would not have named him Morgoth.

Bombadil · 06-07-2004, 07:49 AM

Evisse has it nice!

Evisse the Blue · 06-07-2004, 09:15 AM

If _____ had not followed _______, he would have been captured by ______.

Sirithheruwen · 06-07-2004, 09:27 AM

If Frodo had not followed Gollum, he would have been captured by Sauron. (?)

06-07-2004, 11:25 AM

If Sam had not followed Frodo, he would have been captured by Orks. (?)

Evisse the Blue · 06-08-2004, 01:33 AM

Both of them are correct, but it was the second one that I had in mind. Go ahead, Divyan Redsmith. Oh and welcome to the 'Downs!

06-08-2004, 02:42 AM

Thanks for the welcome.
Okay, I'm new at this so I hope that this works out.

If _____had not _____ away the _____, _____ may not have taken _____

to _____ _____ and _____ would not have become a _____.

Thorongil · 06-08-2004, 04:21 AM

If Saruman had not thrown away the palantir, Gandalf may not have taken Pippin
to Minas Tirith and Pippin would not have become a Guard (of the citadel).

Something like that?

06-08-2004, 09:49 AM

Wow! Almost perfect Thorongil. Only the first blank is incorrect.

The Perky Ent · 06-08-2004, 10:02 AM

Sorry Thorongil

If Wormtoung had not thrown away the palantir, Gandalf may not have taken Pippin to Minas Tirith and Pippin would not have become a Guard.

06-08-2004, 10:14 AM

To The Perky Ent: You are right of course. Take it away.

Thorongil · 06-09-2004, 07:51 AM

That proves I got some reading to do. I should have known that.

The Perky Ent · 06-22-2004, 06:31 PM

Well this thread has been dormant. Let's wake it up! Anyways, here's the new question: If ____ didn't ___ into the _______, then _______ would have been at ___ _____ ____

Bombadil · 06-22-2004, 06:49 PM

If Pippin didn't look into the palantir, then Gandalf would have been in the Ridder Mark?

The Perky Ent · 06-22-2004, 06:52 PM

nope!

Lady of the Pants · 06-23-2004, 02:25 AM

I'm giving it a try:

If Frodo didn't look into the mirror of Galadriel, then Frodo would have been at the Old Forest.

It's probably wrong, but it's worth a shot!

Morsul the Dark · 06-23-2004, 04:18 PM

if Gandalf didnt run into Radagast he would have been at The Prancing Pony?

The Perky Ent · 06-23-2004, 06:22 PM

Nope, but good tries!

NightKnight · 06-28-2004, 05:19 PM

If Denethor didn't look into the Palantir, then Gandalf would have been at the Pelennor Fields.

Probably not right though.

The Perky Ent · 06-28-2004, 07:59 PM

The first two are right, but you've got the wrong person and the wrong battle.
