Werewolf History 101 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-14-2009, 11:42 AM

There will be a pop quiz every... well, every time someone gets a question right, I suppose. The subject - past Tol-In-Gaurhoth games.

(You know, the whole first-person-to-get-it-right-comes-up-with-the-next-question-deal.)

Please turn to page 1.

Question 1.

Who was Ozymandias's daughter?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-14-2009, 02:26 PM

THE Ka, of course.

Who was the first Fenris Wolf?

Anguirel?

And yes, THE Ka is correct. Should have known you'd get that one, Fea. :P

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-14-2009, 04:21 PM

In so many ways, the answer is yes. Your go, dear sir.

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-14-2009, 08:44 PM

What role was Peter Jackson?

Cobbler-Seer.

Wait a minute... does this have anything to do with Tolkien? I'm lost.

There was a talking dog or two in the Silmarillion, but somehow I don't think that's what you're discussing.

What, you've been around here long enough to be a "Haunting Spirit", and you haven't yet visited Tol-in-Gaurhoth?

We really must do something about that...

satansaloser2005 · 12-15-2009, 11:20 AM

Seconded.

Also, I believe it's your turn, Nerwen.

I agree. Also, Cobbler-Seer is correct. Your go, she for whom the stars doth shine.

Nerwen · 12-16-2009, 12:00 AM

Why thank you, he whose splendour outshines the sun.

Name three games in which no wolves* were killed.

*including wolves-by-another-name– "Wraiths", "Were-Penguins", "Mutineers" etc.

Good one. Does this include Volo's where the entire pack survived besides two who were taken (more or less) pre-game in trial Days? (I'm guessing not, but I'll ask anyway.)

Nerwen · 12-16-2009, 01:45 AM

I'll accept that one.

In that case....

WW IX: the Saga Owns You and You Know It (modded by Encaitare)
WW XLII: The Meaning of Life Forever (modded by Volo)
WW LII: Star Crossed II: Together for Eternity (modded by Di)

Do I win?

ETA: Going to bed. I'll think of a really good question and will post it sometime tomorrow.

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-16-2009, 02:08 AM

WW: LVIV (wolves Shasta, Lari, Greenie, and technically Kent)
WW: XLIX (wolves Lommy and Phantom)
WW: XLII (wolves Aganzir, Brinniel, Valier, Lommy, Sally)

Edit: Dangit, Sally!

Editx2: HA. The village won Durelin's game. I win!

What? What's Durelin have to do with anything?

(Also, as a note. In Di's game the baddies were lovers, not werewolves. If you won't accept this response I'll happy submit WW X as an alternate, as I believe it works also.)

ETA: Seriously going to bed now. Shasta, hush over in IM land so I can sleep, precious.

I meant Diamond, not Durelin. My bad.

Nerwen · 12-16-2009, 04:32 AM

A difficult call, but I'll give it to Sally. (Really, I should have specified that Diamond's Lovers game didn't count, but that's my mistake.)

satansaloser2005 · 12-17-2009, 09:47 AM

Fabulous!

Unfortunately I forgot my supercool awesome question so we'll just go with this.

Name three circumstances in which there was no lynch on a given Day. Name the Days and, where applicable, name who the lynchee should have been.

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-17-2009, 02:49 PM

Are you sure there are three of those, Sally?

Oh dear oh dear. My apologies; I got distracted mid-post and put down the wrong number.

Two please.

Lalaith · 12-18-2009, 03:07 PM

As I was just flicking through the Grimoire down there *points down*, thought I'd just make an academic point....
Nerwen's question was I hope not meant to refer to an exhaustive list. WWIV saw all three wolves survive til the end...

Well, one is obviously the game we just had, but I can't for the life of me find a second one. Drat it all.
