Greetings all - I'm back (okay, I was actually back once before, but this time I should be back for a while). Did you miss me?

My first question is, what have I got in my pocket?

- Cirdan (formerly Maglor68)

Turambar · 01-10-2002, 12:50 PM

Not fair! not fair! It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in its nassty little pocketses.

Cirdan the Shipwright · 01-10-2002, 12:54 PM

It was a trick question - I'm not wearing any pants! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Or is that too much information?

Just kidding. Here's an easy one -

Other than Treebeard, who is the longest ruling being in Middle Earth (as of the beginning of the fourth age)?

- Cirdan / Maglor68

Turambar · 01-10-2002, 01:33 PM

Longest ruling? Meaning Tom doesn't count? How about Galadriel? Or you?

P.s. WAY too much information !

Elrian · 01-11-2002, 01:32 AM

Longest ruling? Cirdan.

Telchar · 01-11-2002, 04:07 AM

hmmm That would be some Silvan or Nandorin elf that established a kingdom in the far far east that we have never heard of - But I guess Elrain (as always) is right [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Cirdan the Shipwright · 01-11-2002, 08:39 AM

I don't know - technically Turambar guessed it when he said "you". Telchar, who should I give it to?

- Cirdan / Maglor68

Telchar · 01-11-2002, 10:02 AM

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-06-2002, 03:27 PM

Yes! And welcome Meriadoc!

Meriadoc · 02-06-2002, 03:51 PM

Hehe, thanks, so, now I ask a question?

OK, lets see if anyone knows this one, name all the kinds of Trolls that live in Middle Earth and if you can, what was used to create the Trolls?

Elrian · 02-06-2002, 06:42 PM

Stone Trolls, Cave Trolls, Hill Trolls, and the Olog-Hai. Perhaps Ents, it never really specified, only that they could be an imitation of Ents.

[ February 06, 2002: Message edited by: Elrian ]

Meriadoc · 02-07-2002, 01:29 PM

Mmm, yeah, it's OK, but there are 2 more kind of Trolls, do you know what they are?
