The Perky Ent · 04-11-2004, 09:04 PM

I really enjoy O_Os and i think this one deserves to live!

********REVIVE********

And the OIO is:

Simarils
Arkenstone
Vilya
Sting
Frodo's mithril vest
ring of barahir

Evisse the Blue · 04-12-2004, 12:25 AM

Ring of Barahir - because there was no fight for its possession?

NightKnight · 04-12-2004, 02:25 AM

Arkenstone - not made by elves.

The Perky Ent · 04-12-2004, 09:42 AM

Nope!

Bombadil · 04-12-2004, 08:15 PM

hmmm

-Silmarils? wait wait! hear me out! only items not given as gifts at some point. see my reasoning

-the arkenstone was given to thorin oakenshield (well, his tomb) by bard
-vilya was given to Elrond from Gil-Galad
-Sting and the MIthril vest given to frodo from bilbo
-ring of barahir was a gift to barahir from finrod

now the silmarils, made by feanor, were never really given. only recovered through war. And even stolen by Maedhros and Maglor. so there!

The Perky Ent · 04-12-2004, 09:04 PM

Great Reasoning...but not the right answer! That was a good point, but not what i'm looking for! Sorry though

NightKnight · 04-13-2004, 05:59 AM

Sting didn't have any jewels on it.

Silmarils and Arkenstone - Duh...
Vilya had a sapphire, if I remember it rightly
The mithril vest had pearl and crystal in a belt
The Ring of Barahir had emeralds in it

Fingolfin II · 04-13-2004, 06:09 AM

The Silmarils- the location of these was not exactly known during the Third Age?

10 Day Rule!

I don’t mind that you want to revive this treat but the 10-day rule doesn’t apply.

The Perky Ent · 04-13-2004, 09:52 AM

The 10 day rule doesn't apply???? The last post was on 12-02-2003 01:09 PM!! That's months apart!!!! The 10 day rule definitly applies!

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-13-2004, 11:05 AM

Technically, Estanesse is correct.

The Quiz Room rules state:

Quote:

A thread may be considered stagnant if, after at least 10 days, no new question has been asked following confirmation of a correct answer, or no response has been given by the question setter to the last answer. In those circumstances, anyone may ask a new question on the topic.

Since the last post before the thread was revived was by the question-setter (Estanesse) and it was not confirming a correct answer, the rule does not technically apply.

However, you are right, Perky, in the sense that it should apply in these circumstances. I will amend the rules accordingly.

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-13-2004, 04:38 PM

THe Silmarils, as they were the only item made in Aman

The Perky Ent · 04-13-2004, 04:55 PM

True, but no

Arvedui III · 04-19-2004, 04:55 PM

Frodo's Mithril vest was the only item not to be handled by elves.

Sirithheruwen · 04-19-2004, 07:30 PM

Silmarils...all of the others were present in the 3rd Age - either in the Hobbit or LOTR.

Mad Baggins · 04-19-2004, 07:45 PM

The Ring of Barahir; it was the only item to be owned by Aragorn.

Fingolfin II · 04-20-2004, 01:34 AM

The Ring of Barahir- the only one owned by a man?

The Perky Ent · 04-20-2004, 04:35 PM

nope. Here's a hint, it has nothing to do with the people who made it.

***Gandalf*** · 04-20-2004, 07:35 PM

sting, because it's the only one where we don't know who it's first owner was?

alquadae · 04-21-2004, 07:29 PM

#1
The Arkenstone because Frodo never looked upon it.
#2
The Arkenstone because it was the only thing not worn.???

The Perky Ent · 04-21-2004, 08:57 PM

and ***gandalf*** is correct! your turn!

Gil-Galad · 04-24-2004, 10:34 PM

i suggest that mr.gandalf starts a new thread due to the length of thsi one

***Gandalf*** · 04-24-2004, 10:37 PM

right! here's the new one!

Nenya
Narya
Ring of barahir
Vilya

encredibly easy

The Perky Ent · 04-24-2004, 10:38 PM

Ring of Barahir, the only one not one of the three elvish rings?

Gil-Galad · 04-24-2004, 10:39 PM

perky if yoru right, start a new thread plz

Narya is only ring to be passed on to a maia, or nenya only ring with one bearer

***Gandalf*** · 04-24-2004, 10:40 PM

Perky is right. And Gil-Galad, if the thread isn't 11 pages, why is there a need?

Gil-Galad · 04-24-2004, 10:41 PM

i don't want admin getting up tight, i'm just trying to make there job easier

The Perky Ent · 04-24-2004, 10:42 PM

right, but if i made another one, this one wouldn't be closed and there would be two

Gil-Galad · 04-24-2004, 10:42 PM

nah i can close it, i did start it...

The Perky Ent · 04-24-2004, 10:43 PM

in that case, close it and i'll make another!

Gil-Galad · 04-24-2004, 10:44 PM

righti-o!

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-25-2004, 04:45 PM

Hehe. I've got you guys so well trained.

Strictly speaking, it isn't over the 10 page limit yet, but this seems as good a time as any to start a new thread as it soon will be. I'll close it now and then you can start a new one, Perky. Please remember to include the rules for the game in your first post.

Thanks.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-08-2004, 11:08 AM

No new version of this game appears to have been opened up after this thread was closed. Since there is no longer any problem with thread length, I am re-opening it and bumping it up.

Anyone may ask a new question.

The Perky Ent · 06-08-2004, 12:49 PM

K! I'll start a new one!

The simarils
The Pial of Galadriel
Sting
Frodo's mithril vest

Have fun!

Elwe Singollo · 06-08-2004, 12:50 PM

OK then I'll go.

Valaromá
Ulmúri
Angainor
Boromir's Horn of Gondor

NightKnight · 06-08-2004, 12:51 PM

Hmm, two different have been started...
I know the answer to Elwe's question: Angainor was a chain, all the other ones were horns.

The Perky Ent · 06-08-2004, 12:51 PM

Sorry Elwe! First come first serve

Elwe Singollo · 06-08-2004, 12:52 PM

Ok then looks like I spent to long finding a question. I'll say....they all have their own light source. Sting Glowed and the Phial of Galadriel and the Silmarils obviously shone.
NightKnight was right though.

The Perky Ent · 06-12-2004, 07:19 PM

...so your answer is Frodo's mithril vest? Nope, try again
