Hint Me Here! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Novnarwen · 08-16-2003, 03:38 PM

Hi, you all!

Gee, this is the first thread I am creating. I hope it's no one like this, if that's the case, I feel truly foolish! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Anyway, the game is like this:
Write two or three things- they are to hint about a place, person, creature, weapon, etc. from Middle-earth, and then it's up to you, to guess it.

EX. Small, devoted, gardner.
What, or who is this?

The answer will be of course Sam. It 'fits' the hints, description..

(I really hope it made sense.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

Okey, we'll start with this, the hints are:

Wise, great, fooled.
(It's easy..)

Good Luck, anyway..

Okey, the next one:

old, tall, friendly

elven maiden Earwen · 08-17-2003, 01:20 PM

Elrond.

Nice idea for a game [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Novnarwen · 08-17-2003, 01:23 PM

Treebeard, or something?

Thanks, Earwen! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Orofaniel · 08-18-2003, 08:08 AM

Treebeard it is!!!
You're up!

Novnarwen · 08-20-2003, 11:38 PM

Okey I changed the game a bit..*puts on an innocent look* In stead of two three words, make it hints. Like, one hint can be two or several words... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Here are the hints:

Above the others, not above all.

(Eeek, couldn't figure out another one.. It's easy... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

Good luck, anyhow..

Beren87 · 08-21-2003, 01:02 AM

No, don't change the rules, 'cause then it's just Cryptic Clues.

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-21-2003, 06:55 PM

Or riddles. Beren's right. This game should stick to the original rules if it is to avoid deletion as a duplicate thread.

Novnarwen · 08-23-2003, 03:20 AM

Thank you Beren87 and Saucepan man! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

We'll stick to the original rules.

Anyone may continue as I'm not to be at the computer. Virus problems... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

For anyone who might continue, the rules are at the first post of this thread. Thank you!

Mariska Greenleaf · 09-05-2003, 09:48 AM

Gil-Galad · 09-05-2003, 04:08 PM

Sam maybe?

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-06-2003, 07:50 AM

Sounds like Bill the Pony to me. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Dancing_Hobbit · 09-11-2003, 07:54 PM

yes indeed, Mr. Sauce. One of my favourite characters. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

and thank you kindly Mariska!

Next up, and staying with the vegetarian theme:

Large
Vegetarian
Fierce

[img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Mithisilien · 09-12-2003, 03:49 PM

An ent? Such as Treebeard?

Beren87 · 09-12-2003, 07:39 PM

Or, an Oliphuant.

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-14-2003, 12:01 PM

No, neither of those.

The description "vegetarian" may be misleading. I implied it from what we hear of this character's diet. But, since that diet may have included fish and insects under certain circumstances, "omnivourous" might possibly be more accurate. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Firnantoonion · 09-14-2003, 12:22 PM

Ghan-Buri-Ghan?
(can he be considered large?)

well, just a try

Gwaihir the Windlord · 09-16-2003, 01:31 AM

Beorn? Not sure about the insects, though...

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-16-2003, 06:28 PM

You are correct, my dear Windlord. Beorn was the chap had in mind.

As a man, he seems to have had a vegetarian diet (I would guess that he didn't keep his servants as livestock [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]). In bear form, however, his diet may have been more commensurate with that of a bear, and so might well have included insects (grubs, ants and the like).

In any event, you may continue, Gwaihir. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 10-29-2003, 06:32 PM

Tall, Old, Strong, Incarnated

NightKnight · 10-30-2003, 04:10 AM

Glorfindel?

Sleepy Ranger · 10-30-2003, 04:58 AM

Gandalf?

Phervasaion · 10-31-2003, 07:17 AM

Denethor?

Gil-Galad · 10-31-2003, 10:01 AM

NightKnight is correct!

NightKnight · 10-31-2003, 12:27 PM

Old, released, an unexpected victor

ElentariGreenleaf · 10-31-2003, 02:00 PM

Theoden?

NightKnight · 10-31-2003, 02:05 PM

Yes indeed! Please go ahead.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-30-2003, 08:57 PM

Great Prince(or King). Great friend. Great sacrifice.

12-02-2003, 12:08 PM

By chance is it Aragorn? I'm probably thinking to simple and its the 12th king of Rohan or something...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-02-2003, 10:56 PM

No... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Novnarwen · 12-03-2003, 09:44 AM
