All but the Silmarils were possesed by Frodo at the time to the War of the Ring?

The Perky Ent · 06-12-2004, 07:26 PM

close, but no

Sirithheruwen · 06-12-2004, 07:28 PM

I came up with a stupid answer, and tried to delete this post, but it didn't work. Hold on while I think of something else...

EDIT (to save bandwidth...I know, Saucie would be so proud!

): K, got something: Frodo's mithril vest was the only one that didn't hurt the "bad guy". The Silmaril burnt Morgoth and Ungoliant (Right??? Sorry, it's been so long! *sheepish grin*), Sting, well, obviously, and the Phial burnt Shelob's eyes.

P.S. Sorry to keep you waiting Perky!

The Perky Ent · 06-12-2004, 07:37 PM

Alrighty! I've got all the time in the world

:\ :| :/

Not really, but you get the point!

EDIT - Nope, still off. It's not what it did and think about your previous post.

Sirithheruwen · 06-12-2004, 07:59 PM

All but the Silmarils were used to aid the Ringbearer, and without said objects, he wouldn't have succeeded?

Fingolfin II · 06-12-2004, 08:47 PM

The Silmarils were the only ones not given to Frodo as a gift?

NightKnight · 06-13-2004, 03:54 AM

All except the Silmarils where owned by Frodo? Nah, too easy... All except the Silmarils were given as gifts?

Bombadil · 06-13-2004, 08:29 AM

How about...

All but the silmarils saved frodo from getting killed?

The Perky Ent · 06-13-2004, 10:33 AM

Nope. My thing is kinda corny, so keep that in mind.

EDIT: THIS IS MY 1,001th POST! YAY

NightKnight · 06-13-2004, 11:06 AM

Mithril vest - never owned by elves, only dwarves, dragon and hobbits.

The Perky Ent · 06-13-2004, 05:17 PM

right answer, wrong reason

NightKnight · 06-13-2004, 05:57 PM

The Silmarils were never owned by hobbits?

The Perky Ent · 06-13-2004, 08:37 PM

In my last post, I said right answer, wrong reason. As in, it's the mithril, but you've got the wrong reason!

NightKnight · 06-14-2004, 07:27 AM

Oh, silly me. I'll just blame it on my tiredness. It was 2 am when I posted that.

Mithril Vest because...it wasn't used as a weapon?

The Perky Ent · 06-14-2004, 04:15 PM

snope!

Son of Númenor · 06-14-2004, 04:59 PM

Frodo's mithril vest is the only one of the the four that does not glow or emit light.

The Perky Ent · 06-14-2004, 08:07 PM

nithagope (nope)

Carnimírië · 06-14-2004, 08:13 PM

The mithril coat is the only garment?

The Perky Ent · 06-14-2004, 08:21 PM

nope, and welcome to the downs!

Fingolfin II · 06-15-2004, 01:24 AM

The mithril vest is the only one not made by Elves?

The Perky Ent · 06-15-2004, 06:41 PM

no sir, and, or, ma'am

Fingolfin II · 06-16-2004, 01:11 AM

I'm a guy

.....how about something obvious- was it the mithril vest because it was the only one made out of mithril?

The Perky Ent · 06-17-2004, 06:05 PM

No. but it's cheezy like that

NightKnight · 06-18-2004, 08:13 AM

Mithril Vest - Because we know what material it was made of?

The Perky Ent · 06-18-2004, 03:13 PM

not the vest. And the phial of Galadriel was made out of glass. At least I think so. I'm no expert...

wilwarin538 · 06-24-2004, 04:13 PM

the mithril coat was the only one that was a gift??

as in not the mithril coat!

wilwarin538 · 06-24-2004, 07:10 PM

Im confused earlier u said it was the mithril vest and now its not??

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-25-2004, 04:35 AM

I share wilwarin538's confusion, Perky, as you posted a bit earlier:

Quote:

In my last post, I said right answer, wrong reason. As in, it's the mithril, but you've got the wrong reason!

I think that some clarification is in order, and perhaps a hint too.

The Perky Ent · 06-26-2004, 08:03 AM

Woah now! i've found the problem. I had one stray post that I must have posted in insanity, but, the answer is, It's not the vest I was refering to the simarils.

Bombadil · 06-26-2004, 10:44 AM

Silmarils- only thing made out of unknown material?

Mithalwen · 06-26-2004, 12:23 PM

Silmarils - made of Silima,,

And the Mithril coat was made by the dwarves for an Elven princeling...... hmmm

but I my be being thick but was it the Silmarills or the Mithril mail in the end....

Aaaiiiieeeeeeee *disappears in puff of confusion*

wilwarin538 · 06-26-2004, 01:01 PM

silmarils cause there the only ones who have an intirebook about them? I think this might be a longshot.

Bombadil · 06-26-2004, 01:43 PM

I thought they said in the Sil that it was unknown what the silmarils were made of, and the only one who did was Fëanor?

Fingolfin II · 06-26-2004, 07:47 PM

The Silmarils- only ones where a war(s) was waged for?

Bombadil, the Silmarils were made of Silima like Mithalwen said, but you're right in that no-one actually knows what Silima itself is.

The Perky Ent · 06-27-2004, 09:09 AM

So far, no. But I'll give you a hint. Think Geography.

Mithalwen · 06-27-2004, 11:18 AM

If the Silmarils are the O>O>O ... then because they were the only things made in the undying lands? Seems too simple........

The Perky Ent · 06-27-2004, 04:23 PM

Here's a major hint: It's not where it is, it's where it isn't! That was a big hint. But then, you needed it

Mithalwen - No, but keep thinking outside the box

Sirithheruwen · 06-27-2004, 05:07 PM

All but the Silmarils passed over to Valinor with members of the War of the Ring? (I'm not sure about this one, it's just a wild shot in the dark.)

The Perky Ent · 06-27-2004, 08:35 PM

Yeah, it is a wild shot. The facts are wrong. So, no.
