Hookbill the Goomba · 01-03-2005, 01:34 PM

Sorry, I only realised now that I meant to right "brother of the Ring winner" as my second question.

Anárion. He was Isildors brother.

Sorry about that.

Evisse the Blue · 01-03-2005, 01:56 PM

Weeellll, in this case I shouldn't be giving out the next letter.

(you got me really curious about this one, so I'm not sure if I can accept your apologies so easily

)

Ok, the letter is still only A. Ask away!

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-03-2005, 02:20 PM

Is it were Middle earth is?

Evisse the Blue · 01-03-2005, 03:48 PM

Not Arda

Fingolfin II · 01-03-2005, 06:24 PM

Is it part of a command used by a great Elven-lord?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-03-2005, 09:38 PM

You already answered Anduin!

I demand a new answer for my question!

Oh, no. Not the "I have my rights, too!" mode again.

Evisse the Blue · 01-04-2005, 07:02 AM

Is it part of a command used by a great Elven-lord? Not Aiya

Sorry, Nil.

Is it a verbal body of water? Not Aelin

Fingolfin II · 01-04-2005, 05:34 PM

Is it part of a command used by a great Elven-lord?

Evisse the Blue · 01-05-2005, 06:30 AM

Not aurë as in 'Utulie'n aurë!'

Fingolfin II · 01-05-2005, 05:36 PM

Is it part of a command used by a great Elven-lord?

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-05-2005, 06:13 PM

Is it a name of a great greyness to the north?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-05-2005, 07:13 PM

Is it a verbal body of water?

Evisse the Blue · 01-06-2005, 08:35 AM

Is it a verbal body of water? - (Gosh, I have no idea what you mean by this but I'll make one final try): Not Aelin-uial

Is it a name of a great greyness to the north? - Not Angband

Is it part of a command used by a great Elven-lord? - Not 'Ai' as in 'Ai na vedui, Dunadan...' Eh, that's probably not it.

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-06-2005, 08:39 AM

Is it a name of a great greyness to the north?

Evisse the Blue · 01-06-2005, 08:43 AM

Not Ash Mountains

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-06-2005, 11:10 AM

sorry not that one.

Is it a name of a great greyness to the north?

Evisse the Blue · 01-06-2005, 01:54 PM

First I gave up, then I realized I had one more:

Not Angmar.

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-06-2005, 02:52 PM

Sorry still not it.

Is it a name of a great greyness to the north?

Evisse the Blue · 01-06-2005, 03:41 PM

*sigh*

I give up. Do tell.

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-06-2005, 03:44 PM

YAY! Ok my answer was Aryador from The Lays of Beleriand, it's the name of Hithlum among men. We can use HoME right?

Evisse the Blue · 01-06-2005, 04:03 PM

Yes, I see no reason why HoME shouldn't be used...even for those of us who don't have it (like me), it's an opportunity to learn more.

Next letter is N.

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-06-2005, 04:17 PM

Is it someone who was slain in the Battle of Sudden Flame?

Finwe-89 · 01-06-2005, 04:26 PM

Not Sauron in Mordor when his fingers were chopped off? O yeah it has to be with a N

Evisse the Blue · 01-06-2005, 04:54 PM

Not Angrod.

@Finwe-89: Actually it has to be with AN, and only I may answer because I posed the original riddle, and the others have to ask me until they guess what I had in mind. Check the rules of the game on page 1.

Finwe-89 · 01-06-2005, 05:18 PM

Oh srry, I have read the rules, but now again, srry I read a part wrong, tnx that you told me

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-06-2005, 05:45 PM

Is it the father of someone who was depressed?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-06-2005, 09:59 PM

Is it the second fairest?

Evisse the Blue · 01-07-2005, 08:22 AM

Not Angrim, nor Andor (second fairest to Valinor)

Gil-Galad · 01-07-2005, 08:30 AM

did he die an unexpected death?

Evisse the Blue · 01-08-2005, 09:45 AM

Gil-Galad, what's your answer?

Gil-Galad · 01-08-2005, 12:30 PM

it is Anarion, after he unexpectly gets crushed by a stone thrown by a Mordor Catapult at the siege of barad Dur

Evisse the Blue · 01-08-2005, 02:00 PM

But Anarion was already mentioned! See Hookbill's post, the first one on the page...So I thought it kind of redundant to say it wasn't him, but I figured it was obvious for everyone it wasn't him, or else I would have told Hookbill he's right.
Hmm, I think we need the opinion of a third party here. Someone with authority and wisdom.

Should I give the next letter or not?

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-08-2005, 02:01 PM

I'm authoritative and wisdom-izing!? Yes you should absolutely give the third letter.

Evisse the Blue · 01-08-2005, 05:20 PM

Aw, look who I'm asking! You guys have all the reasons for me giving the next letter.

Alright, alright, I will.

Third letter: N

Gil-Galad · 01-08-2005, 05:32 PM

Is it a fabled city of the north?

Evisse the Blue · 01-08-2005, 06:02 PM

Not Annuminas.

Fingolfin II · 01-08-2005, 06:49 PM

Is it the foster-father of the father of the Blessed?

Evisse the Blue · 01-09-2005, 08:09 AM

Not Annael.

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-09-2005, 08:22 AM

Is it someone who would have been great on Christmas day?

Evisse the Blue · 01-09-2005, 09:19 AM

Not Annatar.
