Fingolfin II · 04-09-2004, 01:29 AM

I was thinking of Celebrimbor, since Maglor's fate is unknown. Sorry Perky

.

Thorongil · 04-11-2004, 05:14 AM

I guess that means it's my turn, so:
What names did the Vanyar and the Noldor have for the sun and the moon?

The Perky Ent · 04-11-2004, 11:14 AM

Well, the Vanyar words for sun and moon is Isil and Anar. and the noldor is...um...vasa and Rana?

Galadel Vinorel · 04-12-2004, 09:21 AM

I would like to thank all of you that have been helping to keep my thread alive while I have been away. I sincerly appreciate it.

(I think I'm going to cry...

)

I have edited the scoreboard, but I am in a bit of dilema. 3 people: Evisse the Blue, Fingolfin II, and Nilpaurion Felagund are in a tie at 2 points, so I cannot not as yet put anyone in the Elven Hall of Fame. I would very much like your all's suggestions about how to break this tie. We can do most anything. So, please send in your comments, etc. by Wednesday, or Friday at the latest.

Once again, thank you all for all of your help.

Sincerly,

~Galadel

Thorongil · 04-12-2004, 11:12 PM

Correct, Perky.

Galadel Vinorel · 04-13-2004, 09:08 AM

Here is what seems to be an answer to the problem of the tie. Tomorrow at around 3p.m. (as is the time recorded on the Baqrrowdowns) I will post a question for Evisse the Blue, Fingolfin II, and Nilpaurion Felagund to answer only. Whoever answers this question correctly first will be the Hall of Fame member of the month for March.

Yet, if this tiebreaker does not work we have two options. The first choice is to not have a Hall of Fame member for March, and just to record one for April at the end of the month. The final choice is for me to go back and see at the very end of March- who had the most points.

I would really like all of your all's input in this matter

Perky: please do not ask any questions until we have decided what is to be done.

Namarie.

~Galadel

*Note: the Scoreboard has now been edited.

The Perky Ent · 04-13-2004, 09:54 AM

This is getting confusing....but i respect that! I'll lay off with the question until we can get it solved.

Fingolfin II · 04-14-2004, 01:26 AM

3 pm BD time is about 1 am my time, so I'm out. Good luck Evisse and Nil.

Galadel Vinorel · 04-15-2004, 08:41 AM

Because of Fingolfin's inability to post at the time listed, we shall not have a trivia contest. Instead there will be no Hall of Fame member for March. When April 30th arrives then we will see who the April member shall be.

We will now pick up again with The Perky Ent asking questions. So, Perky, start whenever you're ready.

Good luck to you all.

~Galadel

The Perky Ent · 04-15-2004, 09:15 AM

Now that we have that insident out of the way,

After Aragorn Elessar died, Arwen went to ___ to die

Bombadil · 04-15-2004, 10:24 AM

Lorien

NightKnight · 04-15-2004, 10:29 AM

Or if you're looking for a more exact answer, Cerin Amroth.

The Perky Ent · 04-15-2004, 04:50 PM

and NK is right...almost as always

NightKnight · 04-16-2004, 03:29 AM

Am I that good?

Oh well, a question...

How many (greater) fractions did the Teleri break up into?

Thorongil · 04-16-2004, 05:13 AM

There was those who crossed over on Tol Eressea, Thingol's people who stayed in Beleriand, And the Nandor if you count them, So 3?

NightKnight · 04-16-2004, 05:14 AM

Exactly.

Thorongil · 04-16-2004, 09:53 AM

How many Elves has been in posession of a ring of Power?

The Perky Ent · 04-16-2004, 10:08 AM

random guess, 4?

Thorongil · 04-16-2004, 10:09 AM

Nope. And I wouldn't mind if you named them.

The Perky Ent · 04-16-2004, 10:14 AM

Ok, well i count the rings of power as those rings made in the second age by celebrimbor and sauron.

So, Cirdan (1) who gave his ring to Gandalf, but since he's an istari, he doesn't count. Then Galadriel (2) had a ring of power. Then Gil-Galad (3) had one but he gave his to Elrond (4). But if that's wrong...um...Celebrimbor (5) because he forged the rings

Thorongil · 04-16-2004, 10:23 PM

Perfect!

The Perky Ent · 04-18-2004, 08:51 PM

oh...alrighty then!

Who was the Tall Noldo?

Thorongil · 04-18-2004, 11:01 PM

Maedhros?

The Perky Ent · 04-23-2004, 03:11 PM

yessirebob

Thorongil · 04-25-2004, 08:16 AM

Who was the chief loremaster of the kingdom of Thingol?

The Perky Ent · 04-25-2004, 10:33 AM

Daeron?

Thorongil · 04-25-2004, 02:02 PM

Yup.

Galadel Vinorel · 04-26-2004, 09:06 AM

Let us all give up a warm "Congratulations!!" to Thorongil and The Perky Ent who have reached 3 points a piece.

Also, I would like to thank you both for your unending dedication to this game and continued questioning. Great job!!

Keep up the good work!

There will be no trivia questions to be posted or entered starting immediately on May 1st at 12a.m., so that I can tally all points and put someone's name into the Elven Hall of Fame. Questioning will be resuming on May 2nd at 12a.m. So, get in as many points as you can in this last week of questioning.

Good luck to all of you!!

As Always, With Deep Respect,

~Galadel

The Perky Ent · 04-26-2004, 06:27 PM

But i can make a new question now...right? New question,

I am wisdom. Who am i. Please give the elvish

Bombadil · 04-26-2004, 07:07 PM

This is probably wrong, if you're looking for a specific person

Noldor?

symestreem · 04-26-2004, 08:03 PM

Nom, or Finrod Felagund?

The Perky Ent · 04-29-2004, 04:40 PM

symstreem is correct!

Galadel Vinorel · 05-03-2004, 08:57 AM

It has happened again!

We have 2 people, Thorongil and The Perky Ent, who are tied with three points each for the right to be the April member of the Elven Hall of Fame. Instead of going through a bunch of trouble over who should be given this title again, I will give them both this honor.

So....Congratulations to Thorongil and The Perky Ent, who are the new April members of the Elven Hall of Fame!! Yeah!!

I believe that it is now symestreem's turn to ask a question, so ask away, symestreem!!

As always,

Galadel

Thorongil · 05-03-2004, 09:55 AM

I probably shouldn't do this but I have to...
YAY!!

Congrats to Perky too.

The Perky Ent · 05-03-2004, 05:21 PM

^_^ i'm in the hall of fame! There's only one word that can describe it...

^_^

This is a really cool thread and i'm honored to play in it! Yay.....................^_^

symestreem · 05-03-2004, 07:02 PM

What is a nissi? How 'bout a neri? Would either of them be found set in a ring?

Galadel Vinorel · 05-04-2004, 08:52 AM

The scoreboard points have now been erased so that everyone is starting of with a clean slate for the month of May.

Good luck to you all!

As Always, With Deep Respect,

~Galadel

Oh, and thank you, Perky, for that lovely comment of yours.

We're glad that you are here as well. ^_^

Hope all of you have a great time here and thank you for competing in Elvorama!!

Thorongil · 05-06-2004, 07:28 AM

Well, I found that it is men and women, so I doubt you would find them in a ring.

symestreem · 05-06-2004, 01:57 PM

Yes.

Galadel Vinorel · 05-19-2004, 08:50 AM

I have pmed Thorongil and have recieved no response yet. So, in order to move the questioning along, I will be posting the next question. I do hope that no one shall be offended by my actions, for they were not meant in any way to offend anyone at all.

Question:

Who was the Elven Lord that Elrond the Half-Elven was the "apprentice", for lack of a better word, of during the time before and throughout the Battle of the Last Alliance of Men and Elves?

Have at it folks!!
