Geography Direction Quiz! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This is another idea i just came up with. basically the question-asker states a posistion on any Tolkien map and gives a direct (North, south-east etc.)

EI: Gondolin, South-West

and the next person gives a name of a place

Falas

the question-asker then goes off of that location, saying the direction is desired place is

North-East

it goes on from there till someone names the desired place, in this case it will be Nargothrond.

it doesn't have to be a city! it can be a mountain, river, anything located on a map!

Isengard, South-East

Wow, looks interesting.

I will start close. Though there is still something that can be between. Edoras?

I have a question.
Do we have to wait for the question asker to cofirm the guess or give a new direction or can we post another location on that direction we think might be correct.

For example, am I allowed to say Minas Tirith now or do I have to wait for you to tell Legate if he's right?

Gil-Galad · 12-23-2007, 04:24 PM

i think for now we should wait on the question asker, if it gets too easy then we could step it up to make it difficult

Edoras -> South-East

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-23-2007, 04:35 PM

Fords of Erui (in Lossarnach)

Still south-east?

I find it somewhat unfair that you have in a way to be lucky to be the first to post after the asker posts in order to have a chance.
Now I can't post and after you'll answer Gil, who knows who will.
It's not like I am bothered by this but...it's just that without the possibility to post at all times the game seems to lack any dynamic...
