Good answer, tom bombariffic (and nice nickname, by the way), but the Stonehearted Dwarf Smith gets it.
Go ahead, Telchar. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tolkien seemed to like that two-on-a-horse thing; perhaps an obscure refernce to the Templars? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
OK I'll try to think of a new one. [ October 08, 2003: Message edited by: Turambar ]

Please refrain from giving long quotes or entering into lengthy discussions in Quiz games. That is not the purpose of this forum.

If I tell people that they have given a wrong answer I usually also give them the reason that thay are wrong else people can continue on a wrong track or with misleading information, causing more wrong guesses. In other cases I tell people that they have made a good guess. I can honestly not see the problem in that Saucepanman.
Could you elaborate on why that is a problem? NB: I could have asked you this in private Saucepanman, but I think it is in the best interest of all the participants to know why this in not one of the purposes of the quizroom - ei: to learn more and be corrected when one is wrong.

The threads in this forum are for the playing of Quiz games, not discussion of Tolkien's works. By all means correct someone if they get something wrong, but this only requires a short sentence or two. There is no need for lengthy supporting quotes and/or argument. Were that to happen every time an incorrect statement was made on these threads, then the games themselves would become lost in the detail and the threads would become prematurely long. That is why lengthy corrections, which not only take up space themselves but may also provoke similalry lengthy responses, are to be discouraged. If a brief correction does (or is likely to) develop into a discussion, then (if it is worth continuing) that discussion can be taken to PM or (better still) the Books or Novices/Newcomers forum (as appropriate).

True, very true.
Anyway, how about a new question? Bombariffic (and he's got his thinking cap on)

true, writing an essay dosen't make your post any more valid, but I can also see saucepan man's point. So let's all stop being so hasty, and get on with the quiz, because arguing like filthy orcs isn't why we're here, brum ra-room.

A wild shot in the dark, but is it butterfly and squirrel, because the others were able to carry messages, speak, or showed some sign of higher intellegence?
Or not... EDIT: OH! Ive seen a vague connection..lots of them have something to do with Mirkwood, living in or around it..something like that. Apart from that, I'm stumped. Anyone else? [ October 11, 2003: Message edited by: Anything but Arwen ]

Butterfly or Squirrel, because all of the others, in some way or form, influenced the fate of Middle-earth.
Bat -- (Thuringwethil in the Silmarillion)el Ram -- (The husband of Tar-Ancalimë discovered her while she was herding sheep and rams) Bear --- (Beorn) Horse -- (Shadowfax, Arod, Hasufel, etc.) Thrush -- (the Thrush in the Hobbit, who helped Bard kill Smaug) Crow -- (Roac son of Carc, who was also in the Hobbit) Moth -- (rescued Gandalf)

All right then, Horse, because all the others lived in Mirkwood, or could be found in Mirkwood.

Is the reason that Horse was the only one that didn't play a part in The Hobbit?

Horse, as it is the only one that plays a part in the hobbit and LOTR?

Worth a try..

Spider because all of the others served a Dark Lord at some point (either Morgoth or Sauron).

What about Ungoliant and Shelob?
Errrm...I think it is...warg, because theyre the only ones that could be descirbed as "dumb beasts", for want of a better espression..you know what I mean..theyre only doing what theyre trained to do, the others have more their own will of things? Oooh! Or, is it Goblin, because its the only one A Dark Lord made by corrupting something fair, as opposed to just using an already existing animal?
