Gil-Galad · 05-28-2003, 03:45 PM

Okay this is really simple, you start off wioth what if... then you put anything in

Eg: what if _____ didn't marry Celbrian, there whould not be any Arwen!!! A: Elrond

you can have as many blanks as you want

What if ___-_____ had a son, then there would still be a heir!!!

Scott · 05-28-2003, 05:59 PM

I assume you're talking about an elvish heir so,
What if "Gil-Galad" had a son, then there would still be an heir!
Did I get it?

Gil-Galad · 05-29-2003, 06:31 AM

yes! now it is your turn!!!

Scott · 05-29-2003, 09:09 PM

Alright then:

"What if the Noldor didn't own _________? Then they couldn't give it to Boromir."

I hope this one isn't too tough. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-29-2003, 09:24 PM

Ladros.

Scott · 05-31-2003, 03:25 PM

Correct, your turn.
I guess it wasn't so hard after all.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-01-2003, 07:07 PM

What if Beren hadn't given away ___________, then Saruman wouldn't have been such a threat to Rohan.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-01-2003, 07:33 PM

The keys of Orthanc.

Gil-Galad · 06-05-2003, 03:31 PM

ms Sophia?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-06-2003, 01:16 AM

Yes indeed, Saucy, a thousand pardons for the delay, I've been rather swamped in the RPG room. Proceed. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ms. Sophia

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-07-2003, 08:19 PM

OK, I think that this should be fairly straightforward.

What if ________ hadn't met ________ on the road to Bree, the Ring might never have been found by Bilbo.

Beren87 · 06-07-2003, 08:22 PM

Gandalf, Thorin.

Elentarimir · 06-08-2003, 06:22 AM

Gandalf, trolls?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-08-2003, 05:17 PM

Well yes, Elentarimir, your answer does work. But Beren gave the answer that I was looking for. So please continue Beren (and congrats on the well-deserved PT). [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 06-09-2003, 07:39 PM

Thank you oh lord of teflon! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] (At your rate, your PT won't be too far off).

If Galadriel hadn't given _______ a phial, _______ might never have died.

Happy Birthday to me...

It's arrived! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well, the first blank must be Frodo. As for the second, it's not clear that Shelob actually died, so I'll say Snaga (on the basis that Sam wouldn't have got into Cirith Ungol without the phial).

Many happy returns of the day, Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 06-10-2003, 08:59 PM

Heh.

Actually, Shelob did die. She went and ate herself (as she was now unable to hunt).

But Snaga works too, I was going to accept both.

Your go!

Quote:

Really? Where is that from? When I checked LotR last night, all I could find was a passage saying something like "whether she died or healed herself, this tale does not tell". Is there something on this in one of the HoME books?

Anyway, thanks Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What if __________ had never married __________, then ___________ might never have seized the throne of Gondor.

Finwe · 06-11-2003, 10:37 AM

Valacar, Vidumavi, Castamir

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-11-2003, 11:00 AM

Correct on all counts, Finwe. Please proceed. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 06-12-2003, 03:33 PM
