True or False - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Catherine · 03-09-2003, 04:29 PM

In this game someone says something about a person or something that happened from the movie or book and the next person has to guess true or false, I they get it right then they make up the next statement.
~~Boromir dies in the second book~~
*easy but i just wanted to start off simple* [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

LePetitChoux · 03-09-2003, 04:31 PM

Yes. It is true. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Catherine · 03-09-2003, 04:41 PM

Yes you are right although he did die in the first movie!

Catherine · 03-09-2003, 06:44 PM

You can make up the next true or false statement.

LePetitChoux · 03-16-2003, 03:19 PM

True or false: Shadowfax is white

Beren87 · 03-17-2003, 06:46 PM

False, his coat is silver-grey.

03-18-2003, 02:45 PM

That is true, but who's doing the next one? I want to answer!!!!! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 03-18-2003, 04:21 PM

Welcome Allie! Please read the Quiz Room Rules which will tell you that I'm waiting confirmation on my answer before going. Have a good time!

elven maiden Earwen · 04-18-2003, 08:44 AM

New Question
Dora is Frodo's aunt.

alaklondewen · 04-18-2003, 08:51 AM

True

elven maiden Earwen · 04-18-2003, 08:54 AM

correct

alaklondewen · 04-21-2003, 07:34 PM

Sorry for the delay, I couldn't think of a good one.

Farmer Maggot's farm is 56 miles from Bag End.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-21-2003, 07:36 PM

On a guess... true (the Road to Rivendell thing says it's roughly that to Stock...?)

alaklondewen · 04-21-2003, 07:40 PM

What do we do on this thread when someone's answer is incorrect? I'm mean it's a 50/50 chance, if I say no, then you know it's false (which it is by the way [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ). It is actually 60 miles to Maggot's farm, but you can go now, Sophia.

Beren87 · 04-21-2003, 11:20 PM

Well, you may know it's false if you say that they're incorrect, but they still have to figure out why and give the reason it's false.

In other words, your answer can't be just "True" or "False", you have to say why it's either.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-22-2003, 12:56 PM

So shall I go? or should Alak ask another?

Beren87 · 04-22-2003, 02:13 PM

Quote:

I would say you should go. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lyra Greenleaf · 06-22-2003, 09:36 AM

I think I could go now maybe....?

Hallatan was a descendent of a crowned King of Numenor.

elven maiden Earwen · 07-02-2003, 02:22 PM

True. he was desendent of King Vardamir Nólimon.

Lyra Greenleaf · 07-06-2003, 09:23 AM

Well, yes he was the descendant of a king- it was kind of a trick question as he was never crowned. I'll give it to you because it took me so long to answer. Sorry! (Why don't we have an embarrassed smiley?)

elven maiden Earwen · 07-06-2003, 11:05 PM

Tharkûn is one of Gandalf's many names.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 07-07-2003, 02:20 AM

True. A name either given to him in Gondor or Harad, I believe.

Beren87 · 07-07-2003, 02:21 AM

It was by the Dwarves, just adding that.

- the ever-present Matt

elven maiden Earwen · 07-07-2003, 09:17 PM

The Windlord is correct. In most ways but yes Beren it was by the dwarves. It is now your turn.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 07-08-2003, 02:12 AM

Hmm yes, very good Beren -- how embarassing to make a blunder like that. It was Incanus, of course...

Gandalf operated a fax machine in Rohan.

Lyra Greenleaf · 07-11-2003, 05:23 PM

? False, he got a horse called Shadowfax there? (That sounds like it ought to be wrong...)

[ July 11, 2003: Message edited by: Lyra Greenleaf ]

Gwaihir the Windlord · 07-13-2003, 03:21 AM

Yes Lyra, that's right. Of course Gandalf didn't use a fax machine, the Rohirrim didn't have them! I was hoping to ensnare some poor bastard thinking they were being clever and cryptic with 'Shadowfax' being their 'fax' machine, but no, I've been denied the enjoyment I would have got out of that... ok then, go ahead.

Lyra Greenleaf · 07-21-2003, 12:42 PM

Sadly enough I'm not clever enough to think like that. Sorry to deprive you of your fun!

True or false: There is a Hobbit called Linda.

Mariska Greenleaf · 07-22-2003, 02:43 AM

very true: Linda Baggins, she was the younger sister of Bilbo's father Bungo, so she was Bilbo's aunt.

Lyra Greenleaf · 07-23-2003, 12:40 PM

Yes indeed, please continue... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Mariska Greenleaf · 07-24-2003, 01:38 AM

true or false:

the New Row used to be called Bagshot Row.

Arestevana · 07-24-2003, 08:50 AM

That is true.

Edit: actually, you could say it was false, as Bagshot Row was leveled and rebuilt as New Row, making New Row just that- a new row. Something's telling me I've made this harder than it really is. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

[ July 24, 2003: Message edited by: Arestevana ]

Mariska Greenleaf · 07-24-2003, 09:06 AM

That's right!

Your turn [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Arestevana · 08-01-2003, 06:18 PM

Whoah! So sorry, I totally forgot I posted here. This is going to be easy, but I don't have a question ready. Um, True or False:
Adaldrida Bolger had two sons
[img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Pathetic, I know.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 08-02-2003, 02:27 AM

True, as well as two daughters. (Lol not really pathetic; anything that you have to look up to answer can't be that easy) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

Arestevana · 08-03-2003, 05:08 PM

Oh, dear. Yes, pathetic. I had to look in the book to WRITE the question. Also, I don't know if you are right or not. I knew she had two daughters, but I didn't know she had two sons. Go ahead anyway, you're probably right. *sigh* I didn't think it was possible to flunk at something as straightforward as True or False, and I was ASKING the questions. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Gwaihir the Windlord · 08-04-2003, 01:20 AM

Actually, I'd never have noticed it was pathetic if you hadn't pointed it out; but anyway, most are in this thread, so you've got nothing to worry about at all...

'Arda!' was the word uttered by Eru that started the world.

Arestevana · 08-04-2003, 01:53 PM

False. The word was, I think, Ea.

[ August 04, 2003: Message edited by: Arestevana ]

Gwaihir the Windlord · 08-05-2003, 01:25 AM

Correct.

Arestevana · 08-05-2003, 04:33 PM

Edit: Bad question.

True or false:
The Noldor were also called the Golodhrim.
Easy, I know. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
