Would you rather..... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Elfchick7 · 04-10-2007, 01:15 PM

Ok, y'all, I don't know if this has been done before. IF IT HAS I APOLOGIZE.

Anyway, I'll put a ME related "would you rather..." up. The next person answers, then post their own "would you rather..."

Ready? Here goes:

Would you rather lembas or cheesecake?

Estelyn Telcontar · 04-10-2007, 01:21 PM

As this is a game, I'm moving it to the Mirth forum. Please read and post there - thanks!

Ataralasse · 04-10-2007, 02:13 PM

Lembas. I'm not big on cheesecake.

Would you rather live in Mirkwood or Loth-Lorien?

Mirkwood! (who readeth, understand) But I'd make it look like Lothlórien.

Would you rather have a cup of tea with Gandalf or Lobelia?

The Might · 04-10-2007, 02:55 PM

Well Lobelia might be offended if I turned her down, but an umbrella hit is better then bolts of lightning, so I'll go with Gandalf

Would you rather cut Mouth of Sauron's head or let him go?

Thinlómien · 04-11-2007, 01:54 AM

I'd rather let him go, I'm anti-capital punishment.

Would you rather fire Sam from his gardening job or doom Gaffer to eternal lack of taters?

(I know I'm nasty.

)

The Might · 04-11-2007, 07:13 AM

I'd fire Sam and then send him off on some important quest

Would you rather eat cram or Eowyn's soup

?

The Sixth Wizard · 04-11-2007, 08:32 PM

Cram. Eowyn can't cook. I've never had any of her cooking, but I know.

Would you rather rub Frodo's feet after climbing Mount Doom or climb the whole mountain by yourself?

Rikae · 04-11-2007, 08:54 PM

Climb the mountain. Fresh air, great view...um, of Mordor...but still, doesn't sound too bad.

Would you rather recieve a big ol' smooch from Gothmog, or from Gollum?

The Might · 04-12-2007, 01:58 AM

Gollum, since I'm not sure what Gothmog is
At least I can think Gollum was once a Stoor

Boo Radley · 04-12-2007, 06:23 AM

Would you rather have to fire the Witch King for incompetence, or be Gollum's personal masseuse?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 04-12-2007, 06:33 AM

Witch-King leads, of course. *shrugs*

Would you rather be a Wizard (of the Istari) or a simple hobbit farmer?

Seriously, please, if possible

Volo · 04-12-2007, 06:56 AM

Probably a hobbit farmer wishing I was an Istari.

Hmm... but then again, that wouldn't make the bost common hobbit.

No! I'd be an Istari wishing I was a hobbit farmer.

Would you rather have the one ring or farmer Maggot's mushroom patch?

Elfchick7 · 04-12-2007, 07:15 AM

Farmer Maggots mushroom patch. The ring is more trouble than it's worth.

Would you rather:

visit Edoras or Lothlorien

The Might · 04-12-2007, 08:56 AM

Edoras, ales and Rohirric food is definitely more to my likilng then lembas
Plus, too much lembas is bad if you're a mortal

Sorry, I forgot asking last time

Would you rather, destroy the Ring or keep it for yourself?

Thinlómien · 04-13-2007, 03:06 AM

Err... I'd rather do neither, because the ring shouldn't be kept and destroys your mental health but I wouldn't like to go on a suicide mission to Mordor...

I'd keep it and force Gandalf take it the next time he comes.

Would you rather eat Gollum's half-eaten fish or meat given you by orcs?

the guy who be short · 04-13-2007, 06:46 AM

I'd rather eat raw fish (which is perfectly good for you) than potential man-flesh.

Would you rather headbutt Legolas or Gimli?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 04-13-2007, 06:59 AM

That depends. . .Agression wise I would rather headbut Gimli for being a stuppor dwarf, but for my own skull sake i would rather headbut Legolas. . .

wait it would be next to impossible for me to headbut Gimli. . .ok Legolas it is, but for practical reasons.

Would you rather defeat Sauron in a duel or stay at home eating a pie?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 04-13-2007, 07:14 AM

Well, that depends on many factors. Mainly what type of duel it would be, and what type of pie it would be.

Would you rather visit Amon Hen (the Hill of Seeing) or Amon Lhaw (the Hill of Hearing), presuming you could see/hear all that's going on in the whole Middle-Earth?

Rikae · 04-13-2007, 10:11 AM

I think that, being 75% blind, I'd get more out of a visit to Amon Lhaw.

I look better than I look (I hope).

Would you rather walk the length of tha Anduin with the Red Book of Westmarch balanced on your head, or listen to Eowyn singing the Red Book in its entirety?

Ataralasse · 04-13-2007, 01:23 PM

Eowyn has a nice voice, and while I'm sure walking down the Anduin would be a great camping trip, I can't help thinking of how long it would be.

So ... red book sung.

Would you rather be an Elf captured by Dwarves, or a Dwarf captured by Elves?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 04-20-2007, 09:48 AM

A dwarf captured by elves. Whoever it might be would feed the prisoners their leftovers, and I'd rather have elves' leftovers than dwarves' leftovers. (I'm thinking bacon fat, etc *shudders*)

Anywho, would you rather dance with a hobbit or an elf?

The Might · 04-20-2007, 09:51 AM

A hobbit; Elves have so much time to practice I couldn't be able to keep the pace with them

Would you have liked being a beacon guardian or a woodman?

Elfchick7 · 08-10-2008, 12:26 PM

A woodman! Would you rather spend a week as Gollum or as Lurtz?

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 08-10-2008, 04:53 PM

Which week? The week that the get killed? I'd rather not...

Would you rather go to Mordor or Angband?

Babidi Buu · 08-10-2008, 09:16 PM

I would rather go to Mordor. it Is one of my Favorite vacation spots ^_^ Angband, I dont really know much about it.

Would you rather marry Gothmog(Piggy-Potato) or the Mouth of Sauron?

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 08-10-2008, 11:37 PM

Defenentely the Mouth... he has so much power, second only to Sauron, plus I bet he gives really good kisses. (Him being the Mouth and all)

Would you rather have married Lotho Sackville-Baggins or Ted Sandyman?

Lindale · 08-11-2008, 07:56 AM

Lotho...not a fan of old nobility (who didn't really get the gold), but then I'd rather have that than a goon.

Cater at Bilbo's party or be a cook at Elrond's house?

Tuor in Gondolin · 08-11-2008, 02:36 PM

Bilbo's pad! "Party on dude!"
(Elves are too laid back).

Would you rather ski down Caradhras or Gundabad?

Lindale · 08-11-2008, 05:45 PM

erm.... Caradhras. Gundabad, too far.. or so I think. Isn't that where Durin awoke?

Dive at the seas that once were Beleriand, or once were Numenor?

Thinlómien · 08-12-2008, 03:53 AM

Beleriand, most definitely. Númenor would be interesting but all the most legendary places are in Beleriand, and besides there's much more to explore.

Would you rather live in the original Minas Tirith (before it became Tol-in-Gaurhoth

) or the Minas Tirith of Gondor?

Lindale · 08-12-2008, 08:26 AM

Tol-i-Gaurhoth. As you said, Beleriand is much more exciting. So is the First age, as compared to the third.

Take side with Aldarion, or with Erendis?

Tuor in Gondolin · 08-12-2008, 12:22 PM

Aldarion. You get to sail all over Middle-earth and
party on as one of the Beautiful People, with
no doubt, lots of dates with primitive hotties.

Would you rather hang out with Gollum or Smeagol?

Babidi Buu · 08-12-2008, 12:29 PM

Smeagol. You never know what gollum is up to..

Would you Rather have Aragorn battle the Witch-King or the King of the Dead battle the Witch-King? (If Eowyn either died or Didn't battle witch-king.)

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 08-12-2008, 12:46 PM

King of the dead, you see he's not a man per se...

Would you rather fight next to Turin or Hurin?

Tuor in Gondolin · 08-13-2008, 04:37 PM

Hurin! You can't trust (do business with)
that hothead Turin. Hurin has all my confidence.
As someone once observed
in a different situation.

Quote:

I thought Santino was a bad Don, rest in peace.
Michael has all my confidence.

Would you rather have a bottle of Old Vinyards or a shot of an entdraught.

Elfchick7 · 08-13-2008, 04:54 PM

old vinyards, I'm more than tall enough as it is.

would you rather walk through Mordor barefoot with the witchking after you, or go through Moria with no means of navigation aside from your own intelligence?

Lindale · 08-14-2008, 05:22 AM

erm... I'd go for the Witchking. I don't wish to die of starvation. I'd rather be... I don't know, either dead-quickly or undead.

Take the oath of Feanor or be an Orc?

Be an Orc, of course! What's wrong about the Orcs anyway?

To send into Middle-Earth, Saruman or Radagast?

Probably... Radagast, I dont really know much about him but im guessing he's one of the good guy's. and from what i heard he's alot better then Saruman!

Would you Rather..

Be an Orc during the Charge of the Rohirram at Pelannor or Battle against Smaug?
