Nienor daughter of Morwen?

Kath · 04-25-2004, 02:20 PM

Hey what happened to this thread, so many of these are cool and just get lost!
Come on someone and help me restart it.
B. B.
Easy enough for everyone.

symestreem · 04-25-2004, 02:34 PM

Bilbo Baggins?

Kath · 04-25-2004, 02:37 PM

Of course.
Your turn.

Kath · 04-29-2004, 01:50 PM

Hello? Symestreem?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-02-2003, 11:05 PM

Well, yes, but no, not who I'm looking for.

Sophia

Eruanna · 06-03-2003, 11:59 AM

Is it Nerdanel daughter of Mahtan the smith?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-03-2003, 03:28 PM

That's it Eruanna. Carry on please [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img].

Sophia

Eruanna · 06-03-2003, 04:39 PM

Hmm..let's see:

G.- E

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-03-2003, 05:36 PM

I'll go for Galadhon, son of Elmo.

Eruanna · 06-03-2003, 05:39 PM

The very chap!

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-03-2003, 06:45 PM

Righty-ho, here's the next one:

A.-I

Faenaduial · 06-04-2003, 10:45 AM

This is tough! Let's try:

Aredhel, granddaughter of Indis

Eruanna · 06-04-2003, 12:10 PM

Aratan son of Isildur?

Arwen Imladris · 06-04-2003, 06:58 PM

Amrothos son of Imrahil?

Aragorn great great great whatever of Isildur?

Aragorn grandson of Ivorwen?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-05-2003, 02:44 PM

No correct answer so far ... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

elle · 06-05-2003, 03:32 PM

Is it Adeland Took, grandson of Isembard Took?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-06-2003, 10:49 AM

Nope.

Arwen Imladris · 06-07-2003, 08:02 AM

Aerin daughter of Indor?

Eruanna · 06-07-2003, 02:48 PM

I think we are allowed to ask questions, yes? In that case are you an Elf?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-07-2003, 07:51 PM

Aerin daughter of Indor is the correct answer. Well done, Arwen. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] The floor is yours.

Arwen Imladris · 06-08-2003, 02:32 PM

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

How about:

H.G.

Eruanna · 06-08-2003, 04:52 PM

Hador Goldenhead?

Arwen Imladris · 06-09-2003, 01:55 PM

Nope! Hint? It is a hobbit. Hmm, that is not a very good hint. Oh well.

Arestevana · 06-09-2003, 02:37 PM

It's good enough!
A few of Sam's relations;

GAMGEE:
Halfast?
Hamfast?
Hobson?
Hamson?
Halfred?
Holfast?
or
Hob Gammidge?
[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] that's a lot of H. G.'s!

Arwen Imladris · 06-10-2003, 01:49 PM

Arestevana, you got it! I was thinking of Hamson Gamgee: Eldest brother of Samwise Gamgee, who removed to Tighfield to work with his uncle Andwise as a roper.

Arestevana · 06-11-2003, 02:21 PM

Thanks! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar · 06-11-2003, 02:56 PM

Estel Telcontar

Arestevana · 06-12-2003, 08:35 AM

Well, yes- but no, if you get my meaning.

Arwen Imladris · 06-12-2003, 02:18 PM

Elu Thingol?

Esmeralda Took?

Everard Took?

Estelyn Telcontar · 06-13-2003, 03:26 AM

Arestevana, I read your reply as meaning that my answer was partially right - either the right person with the wrong name, or the wrong person with part of the same name. That would suggest one of the following possibilities:

Elessar Telcontar
Eldarion Telcontar

Better?

Arestevana · 06-14-2003, 06:02 AM

Sory Estelyn, I guess I confused you. I meant that while your answer fit, it wasn't what I was looking for. Arwen Imladris found it-- Everard Took.

Arwen Imladris · 06-14-2003, 11:35 AM

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Yay! W.W.

Arestevana · 06-15-2003, 05:01 AM

I love this thread! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Oh, a hard one! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Wildman of the Woods? A name of Turin.
the Watcher in the Water?

Arwen Imladris · 06-15-2003, 03:12 PM

Nope! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Hint? He was renowned as being the fattest hobbit in the Westfarthing. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

piosenniel · 06-15-2003, 03:15 PM

Old Flour Dumpling, himself:

Will Whitfoot!

Arwen Imladris · 06-15-2003, 04:43 PM

Yup! Now, wasn't that easy! Your turn!

Good Job!

And so on, but I, and I hope everybody else will come up with harder ones than that.
Oh, and for all the characters with one name, take Legolas or something and put in either their other name in english(or elvish) after a period.
ex. L.G.
or who they're daughter/son of, only with a dash wo we know.
ex. L.-T.
Or if they have many different names like Gandalf...
ex. G.M. or G.S.
or ex2. A.L. for Aragorn, with their dominant initial first.

Please stick to the prescribed notation (or, if you're using something different, make this clear in your question).

Rilwen, it's not 20 questions here.

I would have said the same but, on checking the rules, I see that questioning is permitted.

Sorry about that, I seem to have missed it. I'll try to be better.
