Nerwen · 06-13-2008, 09:10 AM

I'll let you have that one again– see question 10.

skip spence · 06-13-2008, 09:49 AM

Ah yes, the Calaquendi are the elves of Aman, aren't they?

Was he of the Green Elves or the Nandor then?

Nerwen · 06-13-2008, 09:55 AM

12. No.

skip spence · 06-13-2008, 10:14 AM

Did he ever come to Gondolin?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-13-2008, 11:10 AM

Is he Maeglin?

Eönwë · 06-13-2008, 12:44 PM

Is it Eöl?

Nerwen · 06-13-2008, 10:41 PM

Is it Eöl? Yes.

Well done, Eönwë!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-16-2008, 02:19 AM

Eönwë?

Eönwë · 06-16-2008, 12:02 PM

I don't have much time, so I'll pass it on to whoever wants it.

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-16-2008, 03:36 PM

I'm ready. First question is...?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-16-2008, 05:28 PM

Is it alive?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-16-2008, 05:38 PM

#1 Is it alive?

Nope.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-16-2008, 06:05 PM

Is it tangible?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-16-2008, 06:43 PM

#2 Is it tangible?

Good question. I'd say No.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-16-2008, 07:27 PM

Interessant . . .

Was it created?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-16-2008, 08:57 PM

#3 Was it created?

Somewhat difficult to answer, certainly not as a yes
or no answer. I'd say "it" isn't created as such,
although it's particular existence in the "story" is
related to some creation. (Ooh, that sounds oracular
enough to be at Delphic)! And when the answer is
revealed, rather mundane.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-16-2008, 08:58 PM

Is it round?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-16-2008, 09:00 PM

So it's not a law, nor a music, nor a tale (the written account, ich meine) . . .

Hmmm, did it exist during, say, the First Age?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-16-2008, 10:45 PM

So it's not a law, nor a music, nor a tale (the written account, ich meine) . . .
Correct.

#4 Hmmm, did it exist during, say, the First Age?
No. Not during the First Age.

Nerwen · 06-16-2008, 10:56 PM

Did it exist during the Second Age?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-17-2008, 02:38 AM

The Flame Imperishable?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-17-2008, 08:23 AM

#5 Did it exist during the Second Age?

No.

#6 The Flame Imperishable?

No.

Eönwë · 06-17-2008, 02:34 PM

Tom Bombadil?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-17-2008, 03:44 PM

#6 Tom Bombadil?

Nope.

I'd say it's too soon for specific guesses.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-17-2008, 11:46 PM

Did this ethereal 'it' come into contact with any of the Valar?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-18-2008, 08:09 AM

#7
No.

And a clarification: the "it" is rather
pedestrian, and while insubstantial,
is tangible. Sorry for possible confusion,
but I'm trying to be accurate without
giving too much away.
(Hint, granted a tiny one) Hmm, not in the
First or Second Age,so what Age
could it be?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-18-2008, 10:22 PM

Quote:

First or Second Age,so what Age
could it be? (tuor)

So it could be in the Third Age, Fourth Age, or the time before the Ages.

Is it, perhaps, a wind of some sort?

The Deeps of time?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-19-2008, 07:17 AM

#8

Not a wind as such, but you're on the right track.
You might say it can be wind assisted.
====================================

#9 The Deeps of time?
No. Much more mundane.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-19-2008, 06:57 PM

The spirit of Saruman?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-19-2008, 08:38 PM

#9
The spirit of Saruman?

Nope. But you are correct
that it's in the Third Age.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-19-2008, 08:49 PM

The spirit of Sauron, then?

Or am I barking at[sic] the wrong tree? Rarf!

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-19-2008, 08:57 PM

No. Way off. It's tangible. Try to narrow it down (by area, time,
or person?).

Nerwen · 06-19-2008, 09:48 PM

*cough*

Tuor, may I draw your attention to this:

Quote:

Good question. I'd say No.

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-20-2008, 08:18 AM

Okay. I give up.
The subject was Fili's
being tortured by the smell of apples.

Quote:

I hope I never smell the smell of apples again!
To smell apples everlastingly when you can scarcely
move and are cold and sick with hunger is maddening.
I could eat anything in the wide world now, for hours
on end- but not an apple!

Someone else please take over.

Nerwen · 06-20-2008, 09:03 AM

How. Could. Anyone. Possibly. Get. That?

Eönwë · 06-21-2008, 07:39 AM

Nerwen has a point.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-27-2008, 07:16 AM

Praps we need to set some limits?

Answers limited to four words, or two nounsss, praps?

OMG. You seriously hafta be kidding... Wind assisted.. but makes sense anyway, now that I've seen the answer. T_T

Beregond · 12-15-2008, 10:46 PM

Tuor's incredibly imaginative answer has rather killed the thread I'm afraid, but it's a fun game so lets start again!

I'm think of something (and it's not as creative as the last). Read my mind!
