The Mount Zoom Challenge – Discuss

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Greetings Downers, new and old, rotten and fresh!

The Mount Zoom joke has grown and grown. From its humble beginnings here and here. The Fortunately / Unfortunately thread has much to answer for.

So, Nilpaurion Felagund and I have been devising a little game for the mirth Forums. Much alike to the Werewolf games, it’s a sort of RPG, but a little too silly for the RPG forums. By "a little silly" I of course mean "completely insane".

Here is how it will work:

We (me and Nilp) will select some drivers and helpers from volunteers who can take on the personal of a character to drive the 'vehicle'. For example Sauron for Mount Zoom, Denethor for Minas Taxi, Frodo for Bag End and so on.

The race begins from The Lonely Mountain and the finish line is in The Grey Heavens.

As the drivers go along the moderators of the game (for this one, me and Nilp) set different challenges, depending on how you complete them will decide which way you go. Challenges could be things like, "A great chasm has randomly opened up in the earth, decide how to get your vehicles over it." Or "You have to cross the river Anduin, GO!"

The winner is the one who thinks of the funniest way across the obstacles. They can be voted for in this topic here.

If that is okay then good! But if anyone wants to suggest changes, please state them here. This is, of course an experimental game and may well (read: probably will) go very wrong.

So, the vehicles and drivers and assistants are as follows:

MOUNT ZOOM = Sauron + Mouth of Sauron

Bag-Endless-fule = Bilbo + Frodo

Orth-Tank = Saruman + Wormtong

Barad-Dash = Gothmog + Orc (player can chose name)

Medel-zoom = Eowyn + Eomer (or a maiden, if circumstances allow)

Minas Mor-go = Witch King + Ring Wraith #4 (s/he always gets left out)

Minas Taxi = Denethor + Faramir

Okay folks, Discuss away!
