Edit: We're over the 10 pages now, so I'm closing this thread. Fingolfin II, could you start a new one please and post the rules for the game (from the first post) plus a summary of where we are with your question.

Thanks. :)

[Fingolfin II]

Here are the rules, originally posted by Telchar:

OK here is a new idea! Instead of asking a question I will think of an answer. The answer can be a Person, a place, an event or an item of ME - then its up to you guys to ask questions - BUT ONLY questions that can be answered YES or NO - that way you can make your way to the correct answer.
The one that first guesses what I am thinking of, has earned the right to 'think of the next answer' .

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE:

Is it a person? - NO
Is it a object? - YES
Is it a building? - NO
Is it a weapon? - NO
Was it possesed by a man in the 3rd age? - NO
Was it made in the 1st age? - NO
Was it made in Valinor? - YES
Was it made by Fëanor? - YES

IS IT A SILMARIL? - YES!!!

And so on and so on... Remember that the clues that you achieve can be read by everyone - so though you may be really really close, someone else may pass you by and find the correct answer...

He we are currently-

Is it a person? Yes
Is it an Elf? Yes
First Age? Yes
Is it a male? No
Is the Elf a Noldo? No
Teleri? No
Indis? No
Serindë? No
Amarië? No
Nellas? No

[Fingolfin II]

It's stated somewhere in the Sil that Idril's hair colour was the same as her mother's kindred, the Vanyar.

[Lhundulinwen]

Did Frodo ever have it in his possesion?

[The Saucepan Man]

... the earth given by Galadriel as a gift to Sam?

[Son of Númenor]

Wouldn't the mallorn seed contained within the box be organic though? ...Unless you are speaking strictly of the earth itself.

I'm going to venture a guess based on the rather limited criteria available... Is it the Red Book of Westmarch?

[Firefoot]

Is it a tool? No

[Son of Númenor]

What it bequeathed upon a hobbit/the hobbits by someone not native to the Shire?

[The Saucepan Man]

Is it the Red Book of Westmarch? But that might be considered organic too, at least in origin.

So, to clarify, when you say that it's not organic, do you mean "not living" or "not organic in origin" (which would preclude materials such as wood, leather, textiles and paper)?

[Firefoot]

What it bequeathed upon a hobbit/the hobbits by someone not native to the Shire? No

And I mean not organic at all. Not living, and not organic in origin. I hope this clears things up. :)

[Firefoot]

Is it moveable? Yes
Is it the Three-Farthing Stone? No
Did any of the main hobbits in the story own it? No
Is it waterproof ? Yes

A note for clarification on the last two questions: before it is asked, I'm considering the main hobbits to be Merry, Pippin, Frodo, Sam, and Bilbo. And when I say it is waterproof, I mean it can't be harmed by water.

[Lhundulinwen]

It's not a living thing, it's not an object, it's not a place and it's not an event? Then what is it?

[Firefoot]

I'm with NightKnight. I'm confused. :confused:

Um, did it have contact with a Hobbit, or have anything to do with a Hobbit?

[Fingolfin II]

Hmm....is it a mental state, like fear or something? That's a pretty weak guess....

[The Saucepan Man]

Is it a language?

[Celegorm]

Is it a special timearea?

[Mithalwen]

Is it an intangible thing? (eg a song, the light of Earendil's star)....

Hello everyone by the way.... that weathertop stone was clever..... but this one is making my brain hurt already ....... :rolleyes:

Is it an intangible thing? (eg a song, the light of Earendil's star)....Yes
Is it a special timearea? No
Is it a language? No
Hmm....is it a mental state, like fear or something? No But (if I may be allowed to bend the rules of the game for a little hint): It can (and did) evoke a mental state.

Um, did it have contact with a Hobbit, or have anything to do with a Hobbit?- Yes

Hello, Mithalwen, and welcome to the 'Downs! :)

[Mithalwen]

Err .... stab in the dark: "In western lands" Sam's song in Cirith Ungol?

Thanks for the welcome...... I love Tolkien and quizzes so I guess I have found my natural environment!

[Kath]

Is it a song?

[Lhundulinwen]

This is hard too....
The Lament for Gandalf?

[Sirithheruwen]

Well, if you look at the page before, you would find this...

First Age? - Yes, I think so
2nd age? - Yes
Third Age? Yes


...so I have trouble believing it's a song. (Though you never know...maybe it's a popular one.. :rolleyes: )

[Celegorm]

Well, just a blueshot: The Lay of Leithian?
If not, ist it a Lay?

[Firefoot]

the light of Earendil's star?

[Lhundulinwen]

Oh, sorry.
Um, how about the elven people as a whole?
Or any people?

[Mithalwen]

I would think they would count as tangible, wouldn't they? Elves I mean; not all at the same time of course but since they are individually, I would have thought they would also be collectively.......but oh I don't know... and it ain't my question :cool:

[Evisse the Blue]

Um, how about the elven people as a whole? Or any people? I don't understand the question, if you mean does it have anything to do with elven people as a whole the answer would be: The book does not specify.
the light of Earendil's star? No, but the you're close.
The Lay of Leithian?No
If not, ist it a Lay? No
The Lament for Gandalf? No
Is it a song? No
