Screen name Quiz

[Morsul the Dark]

One upon a time there was a thread called ME Email Addresses and in this thread they poured many posts but our own Agent Elrond posted this
Hey, we could make a game in the quiz room out of writng these email addresses and trying to guess who they belong to.

so I like to dedicate this thread to him and explain the rules
someone rights a email address or screen name and we must guess who it belongs to I think If more advance players come in it will be more fun because otherwise it is almost too easy but I'll start

2gns920 simple

[The Perky Ent]

actually, not so easy. Hmm...Sauron?

[Morsul the Dark]

nope

hint:the last number is a date and the fiirst bit is kindof spelling the name

[The Perky Ent]

Turgon?

[Morsul the Dark]

nope
hint:third age

[The Perky Ent]

Nothing happened in 920 of the Third Age!

[Morsul the Dark]

its not a year

[The Perky Ent]

When Gandalf goes to Edoras?

[Morsul the Dark]

nope
9-20

[Vanwatholiel]

Bilbo and Frodo's birthday? :p

[Morsul the Dark]

well thats what the date stands for but who does the screen name belong to?

[The Perky Ent]

Gandalf?

[Morsul the Dark]

think of how the charactors introduce themselves

[Witch-King]

Frodo Baggins and Bilbo Baggins. Two Baggins, 9-20.

[Morsul the Dark]

Yes it is Bilbo go ahead

B-A-double-G

2gns920 (just relized it should be 22

[Witch-King]

GsoG simple

[Morsul the Dark]

Gollum?

Gollum Smeagal Or Gollum?

[Witch-King]

Nope.

[Morsul the Dark]

gandalf

[Witch-King]

Not that either. Hint: Council of the Ring.

[Morsul the Dark]

Glorfindel

[Witch-King]

nope. It's similar to the last riddle.

[Morsul the Dark]

Oh duh it's so obvious

Gimli son of Gloin

[Witch-King]

Yes.

[Morsul the Dark]

RedI easy

[Witch-King]

The Eye of Sauron.

[Morsul the Dark]

Indeed

[Witch-King]

frenchfry1 easy-medium

[Morsul the Dark]

hmmm.......french and fry are cooking styles soooo Sam?

[Witch-King]

Close, but no.

[Morsul the Dark]

then the other cook Bilbo "I cook better than I cook I you know what I mean ;) "

[wilwarin538]

maybe denethor because he fried?

[Witch-King]

no, now you're getting way off. You were closest with Sam.

[Morsul the Dark]

pippin?

[Witch-King]

No. Think about Sam's family.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Perhaps the Gaffer, what with his love of taters?

[Witch-King]

Yes. FrenchFry1. Sam and the Gaffer both were involved with taters, and the Gaffer was the 1st.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Boo-yah. Okay, this one should be pretty easy to anyone who's either been around for awhile, or likes to dig through old closed-down threads. Sorry, newbies...

OStayingOAliveO

[Witch-King]

Elrond? He's old as dirt.

[Gil-Galad]

Sauron maybe?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

It's niether Sauron, nor Elrond, and actually has very little to do with life as we know it. A hint: The 'O's are there for a very good reason.

Fea

PS: Witch-King: I was fully going to write "Grima son of Galmod" for your GsoG one... Good thing I didn't get here on time.

[Gil-Galad]

the Three O's probaly don't mean Cheerios*gasp* but probaly the three elven rings... so maybe the three elven rings or even the one ring

[Witch-King]

Awww, that's it for sure. Should have thought of that.

[Gil-Galad]

maybe another time Lord of the nine...maybe another time...

[The Perky Ent]

Gandalf possibly?

[Gil-Galad]

strange how i was thinking Gandalf or Cirdan...

[The Perky Ent]

Yeah, and BTW Witch-King, if Elrond is as old as dirt, Cirdan and Galadriel must be father time and mother nature ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I must say, you are all rather clever and are coming up with applicable things that I never even considered. So... the answer is not the Rings, or the Ring, it is not Cirdan, Gandalf, or anything else to do with actual rings.

I gave the hint in my original post:

should be pretty easy to anyone who's either been around for awhile, or likes to dig through old closed-down threads
To clarify my hint... the thread that inspired my screen name was a thread in Mirth that was closed down ages ago. Which is why, unless you like to sift through old threads, you probably won't figure it out. To make it even easier... the answer is funny.

OStayingOAliveO

Fea

[The Perky Ent]

Galadriel?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Not Galadriel. Not an Elf at all.

[The Perky Ent]

Gollum?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Not Gollum either, although I think both Galadriel and Gollum were involved in this thread, if I remember correctly. I KNOW Aragorn was... and Eowyn. Those aren't answers though, so don't bother guessing them. :D

Fea

[Firefoot]

I have a strong feeling it's Boromir the Disco King...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

And as we all know, we should follow our strong feelings, Firefoot. Boromir the Disco King it is. *trails off into singing "Oh, oh, oh, oh stayin' alive, stayin' alive!"* Burn Bori burn. You're go.

Fea

[Firefoot]

Get down Boromir! Oh, wrong thread. :D

Anyhow, who is the BlondeVassel

[Boromir88]

Lol, I sort of like being referred to as the "disco king."

Anyway Firefoot, the only blonde elf I know (if she even is blonde) would be Galadriel. Seems like a reasonable guess.

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Essex]

do you mean blonde vassal as I can't find a definition for vassel?

If so, could it be Theoden or Eomer?

[Boromir88]

Essex, I was thinking maybe it has something to do with "Firefoot's" sn, so I was thinking along the lines of Eomer as well, but snuck it in before me.

Well, I'll go with my back up option Eowyn.

[Witch-King]

A Vassal is a servant to a King. In Feudalism, you have Peasants, Serfs, and Vassals. Vassals are nobility, sworn to serve the King in exchange for land. They own a fiefdom, or property. Serfs work the land and Peasants also work the land. Serfs cannot be seperated from the land they work on, and I believe are allowed to grow crops there. Peasant and Serf were often used interchangebally, but Pesant could also mean slave. So, let's see, blondevassal. Hmmm...

[Firefoot]

Yes, I meant vassal. Apologies.

And it has nothing to do with my nick... it's in the Sil.

[Witch-King]

*Sits on his dragon and waits, as he hasn't read the Sil.*

[Boromir88]

It has to be in the Sil, well that kills me I surely thought I had a good answer with Erkenbrand.

[Gil-Galad]

Aredhel? Turgons sister i belive

[Firefoot]

Not Aredhel.

There is a specific reason for the "Blonde" part; not just because he/she has blonde hair.

[Gil-Galad]

something makes me think Mim

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Evisse the Blue]

Could it be Glorfindel? (yes, the first age one :rolleyes: ). Assuming it's not one and the same. ;)

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Morsul the Dark]

now i cant count but i think 10 days have passed...soo...

Hippy14000

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Elrond?

[Boromir88]

Uhhh, how about Aragorn.

[the phantom]

Hippy14000? Hee hee. Anyone who's ever read "Bored of the Rings" I'm sure is thinking of Tom Bombadil (aka Tim Benzadrine). :p

(if you have no clue what I'm talking about, just go out and buy "Bored of the Rings", it's funny stuff)

In case anyone wonders what the answer to Firefoot's unanswered question was-

Beor and the other early men that crossed into Beleriand come to mind. They became vassals under the Noldorin Kings. Beor actually means "vassal"- but Beor and his people did not have blonde hair.

So, I can only assume that the answer was the blonde-headed Marach or one of his descendants- Hador, Gundor, Galdor, or Hurin. My guess would be Hador, since he was specifically known as the "golden-headed" or "golden-haired".

[Firefoot]

Phantom gets... um... an ice cream sundae with as many toppings as he wants. ;) :D It was Hador, for any of you who are wondering.

[Morsul the Dark]

phantom is right

[the phantom]

Okay...

Who is murky_wailer?

[Evisse the Blue]

Gollum?

[the phantom]

nah, not Smeagol

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Who is murky_wailer?
murky = Mirkwood
wailer = "Ai, ai, a balrog!"

Thus murky_wailer equals Legolas. ;) :rolleyes:

Fea

PS: hehe

[the phantom]

Yeah, yeah, I know you can read my mind, Fea- no need to rub it in with the perfect explanation and all. ;)
PS: hehe
I thought so too. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

And here I was just being a smart alec with my perfect explanation and all... I honestly thought I was dead wrong, but might spark a laugh or two. I guess I really can read your mind, phantom. So here is the next screen name:

Sparky_Bird

[Sapphire_Flame]

Tricksy it is, yes preciouss...

P'raps it means Elwing, p'raps it does?

~ Saphy ~

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Tricksy, indeed, and perhaps overly so. Elwing it is not. Of the bird, think in terms of penguins and ostriches. Completely incapable of flight. One must remember my sense of humour....

Fea

[the phantom]

Any particular Balrog you have in mind? :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Any particular Balrog you have in mind? :p
Our old friend Durin's Bane. The quiz is thine.

Fea

[the phantom]

;)
Santa's_Evil_Twin

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Annatar, my malevolent friend.

[the phantom]

Sauron, indeed.

Your turn, professor. ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

With a little help from a trusty source comes my latest brain teaser:

Human_Trans_Am

[the phantom]

I'm sure that Glorfindel and the balrog aquired Trans Am speed sometime during their journey from the mountain top to the abyss. :p :D

(they weren't exactly "human" though, humanoid- yes)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

You and your need for speed... ;) Allow your thoughts to wander away from velocity and more to the car itself.

(they weren't exactly "human" though, humanoid- yes)
The answer is a human, not just humanoid.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

P'raps to tricksy it be... A hint, therefore: When thou thinkest "trans am", thinkest synonymically. :D

[the phantom]

Synonymically?

The Trans Am was based on the Pontiac Firebird.

So...

In the movie, Denethor (on fire) flew (like a bird) about seven hundred feet. How about Denny?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

In the movie, Denethor (on fire) flew (like a bird) about seven hundred feet. How about Denny?
My friend, you are entirely too clever for your own good. I was beginning to think nobody would make the connection, even if they figured out 'Firebird'. This thread is thine.

[the phantom]

Allrighty, here's the next one....

Sibamore

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Turin perhaps? Or Niniel? "Sib" being sibling, and "amore" being... loooove. Perhaps it is, my preciousssss...

[the phantom]

Turin and his sis were both acceptable answers.

Your turn again, professor.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I begin to feel smart.... phantom, does it seem to you as though we are monopolizing this game? :D

What to do, what to do...

Sodium_Hypochlorited

Hehe.

Fea

[the phantom]

Gandalf, the wizard who got "Sodium Hypochlorited" from grey to white.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

You read my mind. Sodium Hypochlorited indeed. :D The turn is yours.

Fea

[the phantom]

New screen name....

Spicy_Liquor

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Mirovir, perhaps, or is that too easy?

[the phantom]

You aren't getting off that easy this time, Fea.

It's a person.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Rumil, perhaps? The Noldorin Elf of Tirion?

[the phantom]

Don't be like Jack Sparrow. Forget about the rum. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Okay... let's take the fangirls' approach. Domanic Monaghan is rather hot [spicy] and he plays Merry Brandybuck...

[the phantom]

Very clever, Fea, but not what I'm looking for.

I'd love to give it to you, but I can't.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

If this isn't right, it should be. I just had an epiphany.

Spicy = Fiery
Liquor = Spirit

You've named Curufinwe, the Fiery Spirt or FEANOR. How could it have passed me by?

Fea

[the phantom]

Ha ha ha! :D

The answer was your very own name! :p

I couldn't resist.

Good job, professor.

[The Saucepan Man]

Hold up! With this kind of ingenuity in wordplay you two should try the Cryptic Clues thread. There's a question there needs answering ...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

With a great amount of thought (and an almost posted, but nixed, other name in mind), I have decided to challenge ye all with this:

**Ironically_Depressed**


Hope it's a little harder than my other idea... For those of you who follow my screen names, this one is a far cry from my usual word play. It's very simple.


Fea

[the phantom]

For a beautiful goddess, Nienna was quite whiny.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Ironic that she could mourn all the bad stuff in the world but it never got her down. The thread is yours again, Opera Ghost.

[the phantom]

Give this one a try.

Smiling_Mr_Undernail

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I don't suppose it would be so easy as Grima?

Referring of course to the grime that occasionally builds up under nails, and he is the back-stabbing variety that smiles as he lies...

[the phantom]

No.

It's not that easy. You were on the right track with part of it, but I'm not telling which part. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Quickbeam, praps, praps. The quick lying under your nail, and the beam being your smile. Even an over-worked (but at least equally appreciated) stressed out gal can occasionally come up with a clever answer... or two. Or ten. Or however many it takes until I get to confuse people with my own creations. Mwahahahahaha. *evil smilie*

Fea

[the phantom]

Congratulations. :)

It's your turn to cook up a screen name. Just don't be too evil.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

So much for being nice... I recommend a good thesaurus and mind for cryptic clues for anyone attempting this here screen-name:

Bright_Cavern's_End

[the phantom]

Okay... I might finally have it.

Cavern-> cell or cele

Bright-> smart-> brain

Celebrian?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

You're only half right. I'll give you two guesses as to which half. Very clever guess though.

[the phantom]

I'm going to guess that Cele is right...

Bright-> smart-> wise
For the Lord of the Galadhrim is accounted the wisest of the Elves of Middle-earth
So, I'll say Celeborn.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I half want to just give it to you, seeing as how this is a really tough screen name. But Celeborn is not correct. Although... it's on the right track.

[the phantom]

Well...

Gormless- lacking intelligence

Take off "less" and you don't lack intelligence, right? Then you're bright.

So Celegorm?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

We do seem to be dominating this game, do we not, my friend? The turn belongs to you.

Fea

[the phantom]

We do seem to be dominating this game, do we not, my friend?
Indeed. Let us see if we can continue the streak.

The new screen name... Swampy_Pond_Faucet

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Swampy_Pond_Faucet

A fine quiz my friend, and after wracking my brains for hours, I've got it. I think. At least I'm pretty darned sure.

A swampy pond would be a mere. A famous faucet (or actually, Fawcett), was Farrah. Farrah+mere equals Faramir, my raven-haired hero. ;)

Fea

[the phantom]

Attention, members of the The Barrow-Downs- Feanor of the Peredhil has a lovely brain, I repeat, Feanor of the Peredhil has a lovely brain.

:)

Your turn, m'lady.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Ah, a lovely brain. My ego is purring. Try this on for size, friends:

Gone_Fishing

[the phantom]

Well first, just because I know someone else will guess this if I don't, I simply must guess Gollum since that's the first thing everyone thinks of when they hear "fish". :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Gollum is wrong. One of the many reasons I picked that name.

[the phantom]

Well, "fishing" can mean "trolling", so how 'bout Hurin? He went "trolling" one day and caught quite a few with that axe of his. :p

[the phantom]

Or perhaps Bill and his troll companions who got hit with the sun's troll-be-gone ray.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

It is not Hurin or Bill. *Hint* think of my usual style... it is not exactly a straight clue either way.

Fea

And here I thought this one was absurdly simple...

[the phantom]

Well... every time I call up Ulmo's office in Valinor, they always tell me he's "gone fishing".

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Not a Vala.

[the phantom]

Then what about Elrond's daddy?

[the phantom]

Or Boromir, who took off down the Anduin towards the sea and never returned.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

No and no. I really thought this was... easier.

*hint* Fea likes synonyms.

Fea [who probably just gave away the answer...]

[arcticstorm]

gone-fishing is a synonym for taking a holiday, so, how about Bilbo?

[Gil-Galad]

Elwing maybe?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Still no, although I am impressed by some of these guesses. I'll give another hint... Gone_Fishing has zilch to do with actually catching fish.

[the phantom]

Okay...

Let's say "fishing" is supposed to give us "rod".

That makes me think Finrod.

"gone" -> fin?

Well, when something is over it says "Fin", and when it's over it's "gone", right?

So that's my guess.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

And the phantom is right again. I call attention to everyone in the 'Downs! The phantom is incredibly brilliant!

Fea

[Gil-Galad]

And the phantom is right again. I call attention to everyone in the 'Downs! The phantom is incredibly brilliant!

Fea


thats a first....


on with the next question phantom!

[the phantom]

Jealousy is an ugly thing, Gil. :(

Fea's flattery, on the other hand... ;)

New name-

Lap_of_a_Young_Lady

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Legolas

Leg- Lap
Young lady- Lass

Edit: The phantom is wonderful and all his questions are brilliantly constructed. *angelic*

[the phantom]

Glad to see that edit, missie.

(Fea and I weren't going to give the thread to you till you used a more respectful tone :p )

But you only got "lap"-> "leg" and "a young lady"-> "las". You forgot "of"-> "o". ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

"Fea and I"? Where in that flattering post did you see a compliment paid to me? :p I don't think I want to give up that easily.
So since Sophia forgot the 'o', does that mean I can pretend I got it? Kidding, kidding.

In all seriousness (at least... in mostly seriousness... no wait... it's all) CONGRATULATIONS SOPHIA!!!!! For anybody who hasn't noticed, Sophia has just broken a long line of dominance. That takes some serious brains and I would totally rep her for it... only I have to "spread some around" first. :D

Fea

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Long line of dominance... w00t! Er, I mean, now I have to come up with one of these things... *grumbles*

I'll be in my cave with my thesaurus if you need me.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

And it's mine again!

THE_donkey_horse

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

THE_donkey_horse

Okay... not so hard. Think along the lines of 'Downs members for the first part.
