The FOTR drinking game for dry-townies - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Emni Windrunner · 06-24-2002, 03:59 PM

Hey, guys, here's a new spin on the drinking game. I happen to go to a school where we're not allowed to drink, and before that I lived in a dry town. Soooo I've been thinking, there may be an alternative to using non-alcoholic substances in order to playing the drinking game; just play this drinking game instead! I've had a bit of help from some friends compiling this, and it's been rolling around in my head for awhile, so it's kinda long...but let me know what you think! (By the way, this is for the movie only!)

TAKE A DRINK WHEN:

A member of the Fellowship (other than Boromir) considers the Ring a harmless trinket.

Elrond laughs.

Aragorn starts pining for Second Breakfast.

Gimli says something nice about Elves.

Frodo's foot bursts into flame when he stamps out the fire at Weathertop.

Aragorn explains where the heck he was when the Hobbits were surrounded at Weathertop.

Frodo is able to function for several days in spite of having been stabbed by a Mordor blade.

You see a sign near the door of the Green Dragon that says "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service."

You see a sign in the Minas Tirith records room that says "No Food or Drink in the Library!"

Something good comes of Frodo putting on the Ring (other than escaping from Boromir).

Sam decides that Frodo really doesn't need his help or his company.

Sam swims.

Legolas trudges through snow.

There is a slow, panoramic shot of the underground caverns at Isengard.

Elrond smiles evilly and addresses someone as "Mr. Anderson".

Bilbo gives up on his book because, after sixty years of working on it, it's still not finished.

Merry leaves the Fellowship temporarily because Mrs. Wainthrope needs him to help her on a case.

Gandalf walks into the Prancing Pony at Bree.

The EPA arrives at Orthanc and declares that Saruman & Co. have illegally infringed on and, in fact, destroyed the native habitat of Endangered Species #208241138, more commonly known as Ents, and will therefore be required to pay the Riddermark equivalent of $6.2 million to cover the cost of reforestation, air decontamination, and any and all Ent psychiatric fees.

Arwen Evenstar the Fair · 06-24-2002, 04:16 PM

WOW thats alot!!!!!! But it looks like fun!!!!!!

Aldagrim Proudfoot · 06-24-2002, 04:53 PM

Thats a teetollalar drinking game no matter what!

Vardadurwen · 06-24-2002, 05:56 PM

oh my god E.W. that is pretty funny! Especially the last one! Kudos lol

Tarthang · 06-24-2002, 08:24 PM

Ok, let me get this straight, it's take a drink when everone of the conditions above is not met. Otherwise, i think i'll just have to pass.

Kalimac · 06-24-2002, 08:52 PM

Hey, I like that [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. How about a few extras (though wow, that list was pretty exhaustive...)

Frodo gripes and moans to Merry, Pippin, or Sam about how Bilbo found the d*mn thing, why couldn't HE take it?

One of the Nazgul trips over his robes.

Barliman Butterbur shows some vague flicker of intelligence.

Bill Ferny makes an appearance (two drinks if he's accompanied by "the slant-eyed Southerner").

Elrond, after laying down the law about how the Ring must be destroyed and by what exact means this should be done, offers to do the dirty work himself.

Boromir fails to clench his fist while making a speech.

Legolas looks down (notice how he's always gazing skywards even when it would make sense not to?)

That's all for now, folks...

Aldagrim Proudfoot · 06-25-2002, 08:05 AM

Here's a few:

Gimli kisses an elf

Sam goes to the pool of Galadriel

Anyone says anything on the River Anduin

Emni Windrunner · 06-25-2002, 11:09 AM

No, no, no. It's take a drink every time the above conditions are met. That's what makes it a game for people living in dry towns or going to dry schools or who for other reasons either choose to be or have to be teetotalers.
LOL Love the additions! I'll have to put those down on my master list.
Oh, and here's another:

Take a drink when Aragorn says "You cannot wield it!" in his normal voice. (Anyone else notice how his voice goes up about an octave at the Council?)

Daniel Telcontar · 06-25-2002, 11:33 AM

What about:

Take a drink:

Each time Frodo's eyes aren't shining blue.

Every time Gimli appears happy and joyful.

Whenever the hobbits say that the lack of food is good for their diet.

When you see Legolas with his battery-driven shaver.

When Gimli removes his helmet/hat so you can see how bald he is.

When you see Gimli reparing his axe which he destroyed at the council of Elrond.

Whenever you see Gollum talking to his therapist about his bad childhood, and how he is a victim of circumstances.

When Gimli proves that he has "the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox"

Whenever I stop proving my bad sense of humor... No, you would get drunk far to quickly!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Calencoire · 06-27-2002, 01:12 PM

That was hilarious! Sounds fun to play! Think up more (though you already have a good list) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Arwen Imladris · 06-27-2002, 04:30 PM

He he he! This is funny! I like your idea Emni Windrunner! That is a big list! How about:

You spot the car.

You see Arwen's eyes change color.

You spot the "dead" orc.

You see a fake hobbit foot.

You see a midgit filling in for a hobbit.

Any member of the fellowship (other then Legolas) is clean or has brushed hair.

That is all I can think of. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

MYyyPreciousSS · 06-28-2002, 02:13 AM

Wow that hillarious. I like "One of the Nazgul trips over his robes." I can see it now... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Uialellethwen · 06-29-2002, 05:54 PM

See, um... Do you have a real drinking game in that head of yours??? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Aldagrim Proudfoot · 06-30-2002, 02:13 PM

But this is more fun...

07-01-2002, 05:47 PM

that was the funniest thing i have ever heard. oh man that was great someone has to come up with more of thoes.

Emni Windrunner · 07-12-2002, 08:15 PM

Thanks, guys. I have some more I've come up with, but Mom just called me to dinner. I'll post 'em later, though.

(I found both the "dead" Orc and the car...does that mean I have to take a drink?)

Daniel Telcontar · 07-13-2002, 08:28 AM

Some more to have a drink with:
When Pippin says something intelligent
When Elrond is optimistic or tells a joke
When Tom Bombadil makes an appearance
When the Nazgûls feed their horses
When you notice Legolas colouring his hair
When you notice the plastic label on the apple
When Gimli picks up a second axe, thus making it impossible to effectively use any of them

Halbereth Diagona · 07-13-2002, 11:23 AM

When you see any of the hobbits actually PAYING for the drinks at The Prancing Pony
When Gimli and Legolas agree on summat (except for the ring)
When Aragorn says something I can understand
When Legolas smiles.
When Legolas gets angry.
When Legolas actually shows any emotions whatsoever.
When Sam just admits that he fancies Frodo.
When one of the hobbits get themselves out of trouble (4 drinks for all of them)

Emni Windrunner · 07-16-2002, 11:28 AM

Okay, so I went and did more than eat dinner. I've been away from the computer for a few days, but I've still got a few more contributions.

Take a drink when:

The Fellowship gets trapped in Moria because Legolas fell trying to jump across the gap in the stairway because the Orcs fired off a missile just as he was jumping.

In a distracted moment, Gandalf mentions the Brotherhood of Mutants and wonders aloud who Mystique is posing as now.

Saruman forgets himself and tries to make a red blade come out of his staff.

Farmer Maggot actually tells the Nazgul what for.

The ASPCA goes after Arwen for not sparing the horses at the ford.

Legolas shoots down the winged steed of the Nazgul.

The significance of the White Hand is explained.

Saruman admits that he only keeps the Orcs around for comic relief.

Goldberry turns up or is mentioned.

It is explained how in the world Elrond came to the conclusion that Aragorn "has chosen exile", when there's nothing in the book or the movie to back up that assessment.

Elrond puts Aragorn through a lie-detector test before he will allow Aragorn to marry Arwen.

Aldagrim Proudfoot · 07-17-2002, 01:42 PM

What about:

When Deagol finds the ring.
When Isildur says anything
When a female Dwarf appears or is even mentioned.
When Merry and Pippin don't get in trouble with no supervision
When you see a Hobbits combing his feet.

Ithaeliel · 07-18-2002, 12:23 AM

Ah, but some of these actually happen... barely, but they happen. Like Legolas looking down, and Isildur saying something.

Susan Delgado · 07-18-2002, 12:35 AM

My goodness, this is a great idea for a listing [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

-When we see 17 years pass between the party and the departure.
-When it's explained why Aragorn was (conveniently) toting four Hobbit sized blades all over the countryside.
-When we see any of Merry and Pippin's history. Two drinks if you see they actually knew Frodo before the quest. Three if it's clear that they were all very good, very old, friends.
-When we see Fatty Bolger.
-When any Elves show up prior to Arfindel's appearance after Amon Sul.
-When we see any random Elves wandering around in Rivendell or Lothlorien.
-When we learn the identity of the mysterious Figwit.
-When it's explained why Galadriel was narrating the prologue.
-When we see Elrond with his hair down.
-When there are more than two wizards in the world.
-When we see a flet.
-When Celeborn is more than an ornament of Galadriel.
-When Galadriel gives gifts to everyone instead of showing her obvious favoritism to Frodo.
-When Arwen fails to show up at Helm's Deep.
-When Shelob succeeds in showing up at Cirith Ungol.
-When it's explained what Bilbo was doing with an Elven blade and suit of mail.
-When we see any riddles at all.

Ok, that's enough for now [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

but...

Tell me about it! I have tried and tried (and have not yet succeeded) to convince my mom and sister that there was a time change in between the party and the quest. It just does not seem possible to them that 17 years can pass without any sign of change in the characters. Or that Pippin was really 12 and Merry was 19 when they played with the fireworks.

Emni Windrunner · 07-18-2002, 10:51 AM

George Lucas insists that there is, onscreen, a shoe somewhere in the garbage masher in A New Hope and a potato in the asteroid field in The Empire Strikes Back. No Star Wars junkie that I've ever encountered has ever been able to find either of them. I guess they were put in as a joke or something, but since no one can find them, the joke kind of fell flat.

Susan Delgado · 07-18-2002, 09:36 PM

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I've never sen anything like that, but in any case, both would blend in so well with their backgrounds, how would you notice them?

(To keep it on topic)
-When we see a Barrow Wight [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nevfeniel · 07-18-2002, 09:50 PM

How about whenever one or more of the hobbits are almost devoured by an angry willow tree.

Aldagrim Proudfoot · 07-19-2002, 10:28 AM

When Barliman remembers the note Gandalf gave him about Aragorn.

Dimaldaeon · 07-19-2002, 03:06 PM

This game could be a lot more fun if you had to take a drink of poteen when a condition is met.
Take a drink when:

Saruman admits that he is the CEO of the U.M.B.R.E.L.L.A corporation and that the Racoon city zombies were really the first attempts at Uruk Hai.

Legolas whips out an orcarina and gets very angry when he dosen't suddenly warp somewhere.

Legolas asks why there aren't any Gorons at Erebor.

The IRA offer to blow up Minas Morgul for a small fee.

Pippin speaks in anything other than a ridiculous Scottish accent.

Ah ha ha ha! I love this. I love the star wars reference, and the Ocarina? Y'know I can see similarities between Link and Legolas...the green clothes, the ears. Anyone who has never played Zelda will not understand what I'm talking about. Anyways back to the "drinking" game..I love it! Keep coming up with more ideas.

Susan Delgado · 07-25-2002, 02:30 AM

Well, Link is an Elf, after all [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

How about, when anybody other than Bilbo sings.

Legolas wonders why there are Zoras swiming around in Anduin

cookie_crazy · 07-31-2002, 07:22 AM

Also take a drink when Frodo does something useful with Sting(besides pulling it out)and when a hobbit sings.

Halbereth Diagona · 07-31-2002, 08:32 AM

Woohoo!!! I agree with Frodo doing anything with Sting. I mean it really bugs me how he pulls it out then stands there.

Aldagrim Proudfoot · 07-31-2002, 08:55 AM

When the Hall of Fire is mentioned.

When Elrond's son's show up.

When Farmer and Mrs. Maggot show up.

cookie_crazy · 08-01-2002, 06:45 AM

You actually see Elladan and Elrohir at the council(dark haired and seated next to Elrond's chair). You also see Farmer Maggot's pitch fork.

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 01-12-2003, 12:02 AM

Take a drink when:

Gandalf compliments Pippin.

Pippin walks away from an unfinished meal.

Sam stops stalking Frodo.

Galadriel plays a dirty trick on someone.

ANY Elves are seen looking dirty, scruffy, and unkept.

Gollum forgets about his preciousssssssssssss...

thats all! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That's what makes it a game for people living in dry towns or going to dry schools or who for other reasons either choose to be or have to be teetotalers. LOL Love the additions! I'll have to put those down on my master list. Oh, and here's another: Take a drink when Aragorn says "You cannot wield it!" in his normal voice.

Daniel Telcontar Ghost Prince of Cardolan Join Date: May 2002 Location: Denmark Posts: 713	What about: Take a drink: Each time Frodo's eyes aren't shining blue. Every time Gimli appears happy and joyful. Whenever the hobbits say that the lack of food is good for their diet. When you see Legolas with his battery-driven shaver. When Gimli removes his helmet/hat so you can see how bald he is. When you see Gimli reparing his axe which he destroyed at the council of Elrond. Whenever you see Gollum talking to his therapist about his bad childhood, and how he is a victim of circumstances. When Gimli proves that he has "the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox" Whenever I stop proving my bad sense of humor... No, you would get drunk far to quickly!!

How about: You spot the car. You see Arwen's eyes change color. You spot the "dead" orc. You see a fake hobbit foot. You see a midgit filling in for a hobbit. Any member of the fellowship (other then Legolas) is clean or has brushed hair. That is all I can think of. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] __________________ "Wake up! Wake up!

When Legolas gets angry. When Legolas actually shows any emotions whatsoever. When Sam just admits that he fancies Frodo.

Emni Windrunner Haunting Spirit Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Nallennia Posts: 52	Okay, so I went and did more than eat dinner. I've been away from the computer for a few days, but I've still got a few more contributions. Take a drink when: The Fellowship gets trapped in Moria because Legolas fell trying to jump across the gap in the stairway because the Orcs fired off a missile just as he was jumping. In a distracted moment, Gandalf mentions the Brotherhood of Mutants and wonders aloud who Mystique is posing as now. Saruman forgets himself and tries to make a red blade come out of his staff. Farmer Maggot actually tells the Nazgul what for. The ASPCA goes after Arwen for not sparing the horses at the ford. Legolas shoots down the winged steed of the Nazgul. The significance of the White Hand is explained. Saruman admits that he only keeps the Orcs around for comic relief. Goldberry turns up or is mentioned. It is explained how in the world Elrond came to the conclusion that Aragorn "has chosen exile", when there's nothing in the book or the movie to back up that assessment. Elrond puts Aragorn through a lie-detector test before he will allow Aragorn to marry Arwen. __________________ Marindia Elyais Lya Kandiro Elia Kandro Eilidh Andara Iliana Emnilia

No Star Wars junkie that I've ever encountered has ever been able to find either of them. I guess they were put in as a joke or something, but since no one can find them, the joke kind of fell flat. __________________ Marindia Elyais Lya Kandiro Elia Kandro Eilidh Andara Iliana Emnilia
