Did it correct the oldest of its kind?

Did it correct the oldest of its kind?

What's your answer, Nil?

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-08-2005, 11:45 PM

Is it where waters are many?

NightKnight · 06-09-2005, 04:49 AM

Hookbill, wait for Nil's answer. You might get a new letter then.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-09-2005, 04:50 AM

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I was very tired and dreading an exam when I posted that, so, you’ll have to forgive me on that account.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-09-2005, 11:23 PM

Odo Proudfoot, who corrected Bilbo, the oldest Hobbit, regarding his surname's plural.

Next letter, please.

NightKnight · 06-10-2005, 05:56 AM

Ooh, nice one. Next letter is R, so the word starts with OR.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-10-2005, 07:28 AM

Is it that which seems like the end, but isn't?

NightKnight · 06-10-2005, 01:15 PM

Is it that which seems like the end, but isn't?

It's not Orfalch Echor.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-10-2005, 02:05 PM

Is it that which seems like the end, but isn't?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-11-2005, 12:59 AM

Did it have two meanings?

Evisse the Blue · 06-11-2005, 04:28 AM

Is it one that keeps watch even in the grave?

NightKnight · 06-12-2005, 02:43 PM

Did it have two meanings?

It's not Orthanc.

Hookbill and Evisse, your answers, please?

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-12-2005, 11:44 PM

My answer was Orodruin. Frodo calls it the End of all things, but it isn’t, as the world seems to go on after they have left it.

Gil-Galad · 06-13-2005, 07:06 AM

Is it a mound of fire? Its not Orodruin

does it still count if its been used already?

the same answer cannot be given more than once to the questions being asked by the guessers. That's why, for example, we can keep on asking "Is it a Dwarf?" and expect a different answer each time. If the person who has set the clue cannot give an answer, then he/she must ask the person who asked the question to give their answer. If their answer is one which has previously been given, the game simply carries on.
the person who has set the clue needs to keep in mind the answers already given and guessers should try to avoid asking a question to which the only answer (or at least the only answer that they can think of) is one which has already been given.

So no, that won't give you a new letter.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-13-2005, 12:15 PM

Yeah, sorry folks, I didn't see that it was already used...

I'll go and hide...

NightKnight · 06-14-2005, 09:56 AM

Don't worry, just wait until Evisse posts her answer, and you can ask a new question.

Evisse the Blue · 06-14-2005, 02:51 PM

My answer is Orcrist, Thorin's sword, who was buried with its master and warned the dwarves of the approach of enemies by glowing in the dark - thus guarding the fortress.

NightKnight · 06-15-2005, 04:41 AM

And that was also my answer. Your turn, Blue One.

Evisse the Blue · 06-15-2005, 06:17 AM

Thankies, NK.

Starts with a S.

Gil-Galad · 06-15-2005, 07:08 AM

Did it make(in a way) hatred between two races?

NightKnight · 06-16-2005, 05:54 AM

Is it a guide?

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-16-2005, 09:31 AM

Is it he who was second to Melkor?

Evisse the Blue · 06-16-2005, 12:24 PM

It's not Saeros, Strider, or Sauron

Gil-Galad · 06-16-2005, 12:25 PM

Evisse the Blue · 06-16-2005, 12:40 PM

It's not the Silmarils.
Or....Sulimo?

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-16-2005, 12:50 PM

Okay...

Is it he who has tenfold shields on his back?

Gil-Galad · 06-16-2005, 05:25 PM

Did it make(in a way) hatred between two races?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-16-2005, 06:54 PM

Is it a royal term of derision?

Evisse the Blue · 06-17-2005, 01:03 PM

It's not Smaug, Saruman, or ...Sir?

I think that to Gil-galad's question there are 1000 more possible answers. Ok, I may be exagerating a bit

Gil-Galad · 06-17-2005, 02:11 PM

much fun

Evisse the Blue · 06-18-2005, 11:32 AM

It's not Sharkey or Steward.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-18-2005, 01:24 PM

Is it that which sometimes covers the light?

Evisse the Blue · 06-19-2005, 04:59 AM

It's not Shadow.

Did he get three gifts, an elvish knife being the least of them?
