Gil-Galad · 07-23-2004, 10:47 AM

is it a man?

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 10:50 AM

Um...Gil-Galad. I haven't given the letter yet, so I'm just gonna ignore that one.

The letter is....E!

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 10:57 AM

Does it know all about runes?

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 10:59 AM

Well, I don't think I know that one. And I think the rule is, if you can't guess it, you have to give the next letter.

So....El

Gil-Galad · 07-23-2004, 10:59 AM

is it a race?

Morsul the Dark · 07-23-2004, 11:00 AM

is it a half-elf from rivendell?

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 11:03 AM

It is not elves or Elrond

Tuor of Gondolin · 07-23-2004, 11:07 AM

Is it an object?

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 11:09 AM

It isn't elessar

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 11:09 AM

Is it also known as Varda?

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 11:10 AM

actually you have to wait for the asker to give the right answer before giving the next letter. since otherwise the asker could ask for the same answer with a slightly different question. I have edited this also in my first post.

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 11:11 AM

ok, well, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter, since I've already given the next letter, but now i know.

paavo · 07-23-2004, 11:13 AM

is it someone who could be mistaken for a member of the Rohirrim?

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 11:13 AM

The one that I had in mind was Elrond.

Is it another name for a tall mountain?

Morsul the Dark · 07-23-2004, 11:15 AM

is a brouche that Galadriel gave as a gift?

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 11:18 AM

I thought that might have been it, but anyways....hmm. I'm stumped both ways. I can't get the mountain, unless you were going for Erebor, which I highly doubt. As for the mistaken Rohirrim, the only one I can think of is Eowyn, and that's not right. So, if you can, give me your answers, and we can get this over with.

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 11:19 AM

Elerrina is another name for Taniquetil.

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 11:20 AM

And unless you mean the phial of Earendil, then it's not Elfstone

paavo · 07-23-2004, 11:21 AM

my answer is Elrohir. Rohir could be translated "horse-lord" and thus Elrohir could be mistaken for a rider of rohan.

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 11:21 AM

Well, here's the dead give away: Elo

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 11:23 AM

Is it a tall tower where a palantir was placed?

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 11:24 AM

Yes, it is Elostirion! Good job! Your go!

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-23-2004, 11:29 AM

Paavo is right. The game only works if, when the person setting the clue cannot answer a question, the question-asker gives the answer that they had in mind. Only when they have done so should the next letter be given. Otherwise people could ask questions to which there is no answer that fits and thereby get all the letters.

It would be best of people hold off from asking questions until the asker has given the answer that they had in mind and the next letter has been given. Otherwise it tends to get somewhat confusing.

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 02:29 PM

Thanks.

Starts with an F.

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 02:30 PM

Is it the un-loved one?

Evisse the Blue · 07-23-2004, 02:35 PM

Is it one from a party of thirteen?

paavo · 07-23-2004, 02:38 PM

is it probably the biggest living thing in ME?

Tuor of Gondolin · 07-23-2004, 02:42 PM

Is it an elvish name for men?

Thorongil · 07-23-2004, 02:43 PM

Is it a ringbearer?

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 03:20 PM

It's not Faramir, Fíli, Flame of Udun, Frodo, or Fírimar.
