I was about to repeat my question (yes, again

) but Amanaduial was too fast and stole my answer. You evil evil archer.

Did their tradition survive because of an apprentice?

Amanaduial the archer · 07-28-2005, 01:49 PM

Lol, sorry Paavo

Is it a name for one of the great forests of Middle Earth?

Did he take advantage of his opponents pride?

solarisa · 07-31-2005, 07:43 PM

this is really REALLY confusing...so, sorry to ruin it all, but are u supposed to guess a letter, or the other person tells you clues/? oh well =__= ...

Gil-Galad · 07-31-2005, 07:48 PM

Maybe read the first post?

Basically we say a question describing a person/place/event/thing and the Questioner has to guess which thing we are getting at, if not, he/she gives another letter and we continue guessing

Orominuialwen · 07-31-2005, 09:26 PM

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-01-2005, 04:13 AM

did he take advantage of his opponents pride? Not Glaurung

paavo · 08-01-2005, 11:19 AM

Oh my. I have got this all wrong! I have always thought that Glaurung starts with 'Gl' not 'Gr' but apparentely it doesn't.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-02-2005, 03:03 AM

So sue me, paavo.

did he take advantage of his opponents pride? Not the Great Worm, I mean

paavo · 08-02-2005, 10:28 AM

Maybe I do.

Was he the father of the last of the first?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-02-2005, 10:34 AM

The Valar will have not of this suing-Noldorin-princes business.

Was he the father of the last of the first? Not Gram, King of Rohan

paavo · 08-02-2005, 01:14 PM

All I have to do is give them some cheap, shiny plastic pearls from the local supermarket and they will be quite happy to give up one ignorant Noldorin prince who doesn't know his place.

Could you say it is between Sauron and Gandalf the white?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-03-2005, 12:11 AM

I assure you, you wouldn't want to sue me. The last time someone tried to, he was found later hogtied to some tree, with his Tolkien books missing.

Not that I did that, of course.

Could you say it is between Sauron and Gandalf the white? Not the Great Gate of Minas Tirith

Ps Why do I get the feeling we are the only ones reading this thread?

Orominuialwen · 08-03-2005, 12:50 PM

I read this thread, I just rarely think of questions clever enough to post.

Did the entire Fellowship take part in it in one way or another?

Well that shouldn't be a problem at least when Nilpaurion is the question setter. For him anykind of a question is too much.

I am actually a bit ashamed of my answer since it is.. well, dumb. But what wouldn't I do for the next letter. Between Sauron who is known for his darkness/blackness and Gandalf the white there is of course grey, Gandalf's old colour.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-04-2005, 09:11 PM

Ugh! The depths you sink to to get that next letter.

GRI

paavo · 08-06-2005, 08:39 AM

Would he feel himself cosy in Finland?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-07-2005, 12:25 AM

paavo · 08-07-2005, 04:04 AM

Oh dear.. Let us just pretend that I didn't post these two last messages. It seems that you have already answered Grimbeorn once.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-10-2005, 08:56 PM

Was he the unluckier of the two? Not Grithnir
Did he fight on Pelenor Fields? I already said Grimbold. If you have another answer, then go ahead.

Oh, vy ze vay, my answer is not in the Encylopedia of Arda. So if you're using it,

Alcarillo · 08-10-2005, 11:42 PM

Was it an obstacle to a great host of Elves?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-11-2005, 02:16 AM

Was it an obstacle to a great host of Elves? Uh, you got me there.

Alcarillo · 08-11-2005, 12:03 PM

Was it grinding and cold and where the sea narrowed?
