BDers Trivia

[Eressië Ailin]

I don't think there are any other threads like this, but let me know if you find any. Here are the rules:

The person asking the question must ask a question about his/herself.

If you are asking the question, you must have posted the answer before on at least one other thread.

For example, a question that Mattius might ask would be:

On April 21, I posted a picture of myself. What did the shirt I was wearing say?

The answer would be:

BRITS DO IT BEST

Here's the first question:

What is my middle name?

Tell me if you need a hint!

[Airehiriel]

Holy Cow! This seems like it could be very tough! But a very good idea, I think.

Yes, how about a clue.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Is it Nicole?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Your first name's Monica smilies/tongue.gif I think...

[Eressië Ailin]

Yep, you got the first name.

Here's a clue:

There is one other BDer with the same first and middle name as mine, both with different spellings.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

That's really freaky... becuase my middle name is Lynn... I'm not kidding!!!
So you're Monyca Lynne
And I'm Monica Lynn


*triumphant* it's Lynn smilies/biggrin.gif

Sophia

[Eressië Ailin]

You got it! Your turn, Sophia.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

How old am I? approximately...

[elven maiden Earwen]

20ish I think 22?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

since I usually say 20ish, I'd say you're exactly right Earwen (though I'm 20, not 22)

Sophia

[elven maiden Earwen]

who ****ed me off in ME mayham?

[Eressië Ailin]

One Axe to Rule Them All?

[elven maiden Earwen]

correct (Sharku isnt evil) smilies/evil.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Eressië Ailin]

This one may be a little harder, but here it goes:

What name did the Barrow-Downs Name Generator give me, and what does it mean?

[the phantom]

Well, I know you said this...
At my school, we are reading The Hobbit right now. We are studying Quenya and Sindarin. Our teacher went to the Barrow-Downs to get our Elvish names!! However, I am totally opposed to the Name Generator, so this makes me mad!!! I'm trying to get it through to my teacher that the Name Generator only generates a name; she believes that it translates your name. BTW, in class, we have to call each other the names that the Name Generator gave us.
and this....
Lucky you... My friend who has the same name as me, Monica, is in 2 of my classes. On my first day of school, in 1st period, my teacher asked me if I had a nickname. At the time, I was busy writing my latest RPG post. So the first thing that came out of my mouth was 'Mae'. In another class I'm known as Luin, another RPG character of mine.
and this....
STUPID NAME GENERATOR!!!
yeah... I don't like the name generator...

Just in case there is some one here who doesn't know, the name generator doesn't translate your name into Elvish or any other language, it just generates a name, hence the name: The Name Generator.

My screen name is my first and middle name in Quenya. Eressië Ailin~ Lonely lake, more or less.
I don't think that's what you're looking for, though. I plugged in Monyca Lynne and the generator spit out Nufeniel, but I have no clue if that's what you're looking for either. Oh well.

[ May 05, 2003: Message edited by: the phantom ]

[Eressië Ailin]

Nope, that's not what I'm looking for... Do you know how to get to the Languages Forum? If you do, or even if you don't, that's where you'll find the answer.

And Monyca Lynne would be Rynoah's name, and I'm looking for what you get if you put in my first, middle, and last name in, and my translation of it.

[ May 05, 2003: Message edited by: Eressië Ailin ]

[the phantom]

It means blue pine tree.

It might have been something like Luinthon.

[ May 05, 2003: Message edited by: the phantom ]

[Eressië Ailin]

Yep, you got it! The name was Luinthondiel. Your go, phantom.

[the phantom]

All right then. Try this one...

What did I say the most "naughty" of Mr Clause's evil works was?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

quote from The Silmarilion
"But it is held true by the elves that Santa, who is named Nick, the great enemy of the world, took the Noldor that he had captured and through slow arts of torture, turned them into short, twisted creatures, living only to manufacture and produce toys. And this was deemed the most naughty act of all Santa's evil works."

Sounds more like the Silly-marillion to me smilies/wink.gif

Sophia

[the phantom]

Correct.

And, by the way, that really is in the Silmarillion. smilies/wink.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Alright, *rubs hands together*...

What was the name of the reporter from whom Sophia saved Maegaladiel at the Barrowdowns Birthday Party?

Sophia

[The Saucepan Man]

That'll be Sunny Day of the Middle Earth Times.

Great party, though. smilies/cool.gif

[alaklondewen]

Hmm...would that be Miss Sunny Day?

EDIT: Rats, you're too fast for me Saucepan!

[ May 09, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Correct as usual, King Friday... I mean, Mr. Saucepan.

[The Saucepan Man]

King Friday

...?

What was my first avatar, and what was it jokingly likened to?

[elven maiden Earwen]

lava lamp called the cloged toliet(however you spell it) i belive. spend to much time in avatar like threads

[The Saucepan Man]

Wow! 8 minutes, maiden of the elves!

Well done, you are correct. smilies/smile.gif

[elven maiden Earwen]

thank you.
Can anyone post a link to the pic i want as an avatar?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Very off topic, but Saucepan- King Friday...? King Friday was the puppet King on a kids TV show (Mr Rogers' Neighborhood) when I was little. The people on the show always said "Correct as usual King Friday!" smilies/wink.gif The queen was Queen Sara Saturday and I always liked it cause my real first name is Sara.

Sophia

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

I've looked and looked for the link to Earwens picture and not found anything, so since I like this thread and it's been more than 10 days since anyone's posted, I'll ask a new one.

Who do I plan to meet in Bree for a meal and a drink?

[alaklondewen]

Ooh, ooh...pick me! *raises hand and fidgets on the edge of her seat*

Could it be....Alaklondewen? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

LOL! The answer I was looking for was "Alaklondedillo", but I suppose I can take Alaklondewen smilies/wink.gif. Your go!

Sophia

[alaklondewen]

Sophia, Alaklondedillo lived and died at Tom Bombadil's house. I'm sure she wouldn't dare show her face in Bree. Maybe on our trip back home smilies/wink.gif

What is the name of the little town where I live?

[ May 24, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[elven maiden Earwen]

hmmm. I'm lost can we have a hint?

[alaklondewen]

Okay, I posted it on a duplicate thread that was started in the wrong forum where it would have been appropriate to talk about where I live. smilies/wink.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Well, alak, I know that you are in Indiana, but that's all I've been able to find ... smilies/frown.gif

[alaklondewen]

Well, I must apologize...I posted the name of the little town where I live on a 'Where are you from?' thread in N/N and it was closed. I just searched for it, and it has obviously been deleted. I'm sorry...I didn't realize when I asked the question.

Saucepan Man, since I do indeed live in Indiana...the floor is now yours. Cheers.

[The Saucepan Man]

Thank you, alak. smilies/smile.gif

How old is my daughter?

[alaklondewen]

She's 5 is she not. smilies/smile.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

She most certainly is. Well done, alak. smilies/smile.gif

[alaklondewen]

Thank you, my noisy friend.

What class did I take that brought me to the Barrow Downs?

[Beren87]

A study in mental disorders? smilies/wink.gif

[alaklondewen]

I've definately taken a few of those, but none of them lead me here. smilies/wink.gif Good try, though, Beren.

[aragornreborn]

A Children's Literature class?

[alaklondewen]

Yes! Very good. I believe the board is now yours.

[aragornreborn]

Thank you. Well, I had a little trouble deciding what question to pose. But here it is! If this one is too easy I'm going to have to be harder and more cryptic next time! (I've been taking notes from Saucepan Man smilies/evil.gif )

Who introduced me to Tolkien?

[The Saucepan Man]

Your Dad checked out the Hobbit audio cassettes from the library and you listened to it on a long car trip. You absolutely loved it.

Therefore, I would say your father.

[aragornreborn]

Ohhhhh, and it would have to be you, of course! smilies/tongue.gif

Yeeeeeeees, that's what happened. Your go.

No more Mr. Nice Guy... smilies/wink.gif

P.S. Saucepan Man - Oh, cool, you now have a title (you know what I mean). Very nice.

What football club do I support?

[Beren87]

Chelsea? and (of course) England.

Although, I'm more of a West Ham person myself. smilies/wink.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Blue is the colour, football is the game
We're all together, and winning is our aim
So cheer us on through the sun and rain
'Cause Chelsea, Chelsea is our name

*Ahem* Yes, Beren, you are correct. Chelsea is indeed my club. smilies/smile.gif

And I do of course support my country too (good luck to the lads tonight against Slovakia.)

I'm more of a West Ham person myself

You have my condolences. smilies/wink.gif

[Beren87]

Ha..ha..ha. smilies/tongue.gif

What does my girlfriend call herself relating to this site?

[aragornreborn]

Faye Took, perhaps?

[Beren87]

Ah. No. That's not quite what I mean. (That was a long time ago)

*insert ackward pause here*

Anyway, it's more of a title than anything. I'll give a hint, "Barrow-_______".

[aragornreborn]

*insert my own awkward pause*

Forgive me.

Let me just think about this one...

[vanwalossien]

She calls herself a Barrow-Widow, doesn't she?

[Orofaniel]

I think you are right, it is Barrow-Widow.....

Yay!!! this is my 100th POST!!!!!!!!!!!!! smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Beren87]

That she does vanwalossien.

Jokingly, I hope.

[vanwalossien]

Hopefully she's joking, otherwise I think you're dangerously addicted to the Barrow-Downs..

Ok, question about me... What is the Sindarin translation of my real name?

[Beren87]

Dûnhísië? or is that Quenya...or am I just wandering lost in the woods somewhere..?

[vanwalossien]

No, that's not it
EDIT: And yes, that must be a Quenya word. 'Hisië' is 'mist' in Quenya, isn't it?

[ June 12, 2003: Message edited by: vanwalossien ]

[aragornreborn]

Well I don't know your real name nor am I anything remotely resembling anyone remotely knowledgeable about Sindarin.

But judging from Beren's Quenyan guess, does the Sindarin version go along the lines of Eriahithlain? At least, those are two roots that I put together. It does have a nice ring to it...

[vanwalossien]

Nope, not that either. I posted it only a week ago or something, and (hint follows)I think Beren has seen it, he posted after me on that thread.

[vanwalossien]

Any guesses? It's not that difficult, just browse a bit and you'll find it..

[Orofaniel]

May we have a hint, perhaps?

[vanwalossien]

It starts with H. I posted it somewhere in the Barrow-Downs forum, it has been mentioned in Languages also, I think, a long time ago...

[alaklondewen]

Yes! I found it...your Sindarin name is Hiriel...very pretty. smilies/smile.gif

[vanwalossien]

Correct, you go smilies/smile.gif

[alaklondewen]

Sorry for the delay. This is easy, so I'm sure several of you will know this without looking for it. smilies/wink.gif

What is my major study in school?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Psychology... though why anyone would pick it over Philosophy is something I'll never understand...

smilies/wink.gif Sophia

[alaklondewen]

Sophia, we shall talk about the above comment in private. smilies/wink.gif You're correct, of course, so please carry on.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Muahahaha! or, oops, I mean...

Should be very easy:

What is the title of my blogspot site?

[Lyra Greenleaf]

"A Turbulent Wind". It's your homepage- that's hardly challenging is it!

Although, I'm more of a West Ham person myself
I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air.
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky
Then like my dreams they fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere
But I'm forever blowing bubbles- pretty bubbles in the air!
(Translation- me too!)

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

lol, not difficult at all.

Your go, and er... to add a link in your sig copy and paste in that:

[*URL=http://*]web page[/URL]

with the address inthe proper spot and the text you want where "web page" is now, and take out the asterisks. smilies/wink.gif

Hope that's helpful!

[Beren87]

Katie, isn't it?

[elven maiden Earwen]

Yup it is smilies/biggrin.gif

[Beren87]

Hmm..question, question, we need a question.

In which RPG was I technically a part of, even if I never got around to posting?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Poor grammar, Beren. *Removes the "In" from the beginning of his sentence* Tsk. smilies/wink.gif

Reclaiming the city, of course! A horribly run game, if I may say so myself.

Sophia

[Beren87]

That's what happens when I can't decide which question to ask, I end up combing the two. :/

Your turn, oh Mistress of the..Stormy Night.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Which of the HoME books that I actually own am I currently without, and why?

Sophia

[Amanaduial the archer]

I have a feeling it is Unfinished Tales because a friend borrowed it, but that may be completely inaccurate, as I think I'm mixing you up with someone else. *sigh*

[ July 16, 2003: Message edited by: Amanaduial the archer ]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Nope, must be someone else... smilies/wink.gif

[Iarwain]

I'm afraid I don't know which book, so I'll guess that it is the Book of Lost Tales Part 2, but I do know that it is currently in storage, along with a few other books you posess.

Iarwain

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

It is in storage, yes, but it isn't BoLT 2. However, since it's BoLT 1, I'd say you are close enough. smilies/wink.gif

Your go, Iarwain.

Sophia

[Iarwain]

At this year's Annual Birthday Party, I rescued someone who was about to be mugged, who was it?

[Eressië Ailin]

erm... I'm not really in the mood to reread the whole BD B-day party, so I'll just guess... Was it The Saucepan Man?

[Iarwain]

Indeed it was. Your go. smilies/smile.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Actually the Saucepan Man was about to deal out some heavy metal pan-ishment to the two miscreant Wargs with his impressive array of kitchenwear. But thanks anyway, Iarwain. smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Iarwain]

Ah, yes. I'm sure I wasn't needed at all. After all, our dearest pothead seemed prepared to deal with them on his own. It was good for the poor Master though, something about those spicy Balrog wings sent him quite crazy. Perhaps he needed some Riddlin to calm down.

Iarwain

[The Saucepan Man]

Ah, yes. I'm sure I wasn't needed at all.

Of course you were, my dear fellow. Ol' Saucepan's just nursing his hurt pride at having to be rescued. smilies/rolleyes.gif Mind you, he did manage to revenge himself on those fiendish beasts later at the Awards Ceremony. smilies/cool.gif

our dearest pothead

I hope that's just a reference to my headgear. smilies/eek.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Eressië Ailin]

Erm... Alrighy then! Next question, should be rather easy.

I have voices living inside my head. Who are they?

I'm not looking for just names.

[the phantom]

Serina (the Muse) and Erik (The Phantom of the Opera).

I'm the real Phantom though!

[ July 22, 2003: Message edited by: Eressië Ailin ]

[the phantom]

That may be my favorite song too. I don't know, there's too many good ones.

My signature is from "Music of the Night", another awesome Phantom song (of course, you probably knew that).

Who used lyrics from one of my songs in his/her signature?

[Eressië Ailin]

Was it maikafanawen? This was one of her old sigs:

"We never said, our love was evergreen, or as unchanging as the sea -- but please promise me that sometimes, you will think ... of ... me!!"

"Anywhere you go let me go too ... Love me -- that's all I ask of you ...": Christine Daae, The Phantom of the Opera

Of course, she was really quoting Christine, not you...

[The Saucepan Man]

It was our resident Thunder Mistress, Sophia, wasn't it?

[the phantom]

Yes, it was Sophia. smilies/smile.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Name one of the four songs performed by Diamond18 and The Saucepan Man, accompanied for part of the time by LinGalad, as a paper, comb and saucepan combo at this year's Barrow Downs Birthday Party.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

The Monty Python theme, of course... and to think, if I'd just stuck around a bit longer I could have played with you instead of that embarrassing incident with the 'Mudwater and the dancing chicken. smilies/wink.gif smilies/wink.gif

Sophia

[The Saucepan Man]

Mattius' dancing chicken was certainly good value though. smilies/biggrin.gif

You are, of course, correct Sophia. Although I must say that Pleasant Valley Sunday was my particular favourite. smilies/cool.gif

[Amanaduial the archer]

*Bump*

Sophia's turn.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Oh heavens, its me.

I have used quotes from which Downs RPG in my "Daily Quotes" on the dorm message boards?

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Hmmm, could that RPG be the notorious "Revenge of the Entish Bow"? Not that I'm familiar with it, of course...

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Six minutes, Esty, impressive! *Bows* The Notorious REB is the one smilies/wink.gif.

The thread is yours.

Sophia

[Estelyn Telcontar]

How old are my LotR books?

[aragornreborn]

Let us hazard a guess (if these are the books you mean). Judging from this quote -

My '73 Ballantine's edition contains four books, The Hobbit and the three LotR books, in a red box with Tolkien's own drawings of Elven symbols and a Númenorean tile on it.

I'd say 30 years old, perhaps?

[Estelyn Telcontar]

You're absolutely right, aragornreborn! I didn't think people read that geezer thread of mine! Go ahead - it's your turn!

[aragornreborn]

Thank you, Estelyn.

I'm always at a loss when it comes to thinking up a good question, so here goes nothing.

What was the topic of my very first thread?

It is something very near and dear to me. Hence it moved me to actually begin a thread. lol, I don't have many, so it shouldn't bee too difficult a question.

[Beren87]

I havn't been able to find it yet, mind telling if it was in Discussions (Books, N&N, Movies) or Fun and Games (Quiz, MEM, Quites) or RPG?

[aragornreborn]

I thought that might be a problem. Thinking back, it is a rather hard to find answer. Very well then, it was in the Movies forum. Sorry about that.

[Elennar Starfire]

It was "When Did Aragorn Give the Pendant Back?" was it not?

[ August 09, 2003: Message edited by: Elennar Starfire ]

[aragornreborn]

Correct, Elennar Starfire, your turn!

[Elennar Starfire]

What is the weird story of how I came up with the name Elennar?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Here you go, a direct quote of said story:

Before I learned any elvish I was thinking about how elvish names mean something (Legolas=greenleaf, for example) and I decided I wanted my name to mean starfire. I write fantasy sometimes and have trouble coming up with names for my characters, so whwnever I come up with a good name I write it down so I don't forget. one of the names I had come up with (and my favorite at the time) was Elinar. Then I found out that elen means star and nar means fire, so I put them together to get Elennar=starfire.

And, by the way, its a lovely name- very like an RPG character in one of the games I played in - Elenna Starfire. At first, I thought you were that person, but incognito or something!

Am I right?

[ August 12, 2003: Message edited by: Amanaduial the archer ]

[Elennar Starfire]

Your answer to my question is correct, but I have never been in a RPG.

[Amanaduial the archer]

I know, when I said Am I right, I meant, is my answer right. I know you aren't Elenna, don't worry.

Now, a question....*rubs hands together*

In my very first RPG, what were the colours of my two characters' hair?

smilies/evil.gif

[aragornreborn]

OK, well, I found three characters of yours. I think anyway. I know nothing of RPGs so I could be quite confused. But here goes nothing.

You had an elf with golden hair who wanted it cut.

And you had (I think) another elf with ash-blonde hair.

Or you could be meaning Aman (I suppose that would be yourself, perhaps), I don't know. If you are, I couldn't find a hair color, but if your character's birthplace and your avatar are to be any clues, I'd guess brown.

Anyway, I'm not entirely sure if that's what you meant or if I even got the characters right. I am far from the RPGer you appear to be.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Nope.

You flatter me, aragorn. smilies/smile.gif

The elf with ash-blonde hair was in Roll Out The Barrels, and the character was Aenara Oakhelm. That was my...sixth or seventh game, I think. Not all of the games I was in were finished.

A blonde elf who wanted to cut her hair? Uh...oh, shame on you, Aman, shame on you. Possibly that's Nuhrive Fleetheart, from Kidnapped!. That was my eightth. Ish.

Remember, you are looking for two characters I played in one RPG.

Would you like a clue?

[Diamond18]

I don't suppose you want to just tell us what your first RPG was? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Amanaduial the archer]

Now, now, Diamond, that would take all the fun out of it, now, wouldn't it?! smilies/biggrin.gif

You can have a clue anyway, but not what the RPG is - it is in the Elvenhome (surprise, surprise!), and the two characters are male and female- the second character doesn't come in until the last few pages.

There.

[Diamond18]

Okay, I think I've got it... Red and black? Aman and Lindir from Rivendell? Hmmmm???

[Amanaduial the archer]

Excellent, Diamond. Yes, my very first two characters were the red-haired, self named Amanaduial, and black-haired Lindir, the latter originally designed a little differently by someone else.

Your turn, Diamond.

[ August 14, 2003: Message edited by: Amanaduial the archer ]

[Diamond18]

Okay, I'll make mine easy...

What book did I read during the Barrow Downs party?

[Amanaduial the archer]

David Copperfield?

[ August 14, 2003: Message edited by: Amanaduial the archer ]

[Diamond18]

Right-o. smilies/smile.gif It just occured to me that maybe a better way to phrase that question would have been "What book did I book Mith with?" smilies/biggrin.gif

Aman's turn again.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Lol.

Name one (or both, if you wish) of the two other forums I moderate on.

[Diamond18]

BreeUnderBreeHill.com

Judging from your sig, the other one might be Kings of Chaos... but I don't know so I'll just stick with the one...

[elven maiden Earwen]

Just for the recorded isn't the second one Imladris?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Lol, yes, Earwen, just for the record, the other one is Imladris.

Diamond, your turn again. smilies/smile.gif

[Diamond18]

Okay, I'll make this one harder, mwah ha ha...

What was the subject matter of my first ever post?

Hint: You don't have to find the post itself.

[Amanaduial the archer]

*Blinks* That's just a confusing clue! I have a feeling I'm gonna kick myself when the answer comes up...

[aragornreborn]

Hmmm. The answer isn't you deleted your first post, is it? Just a guess. That's what I did for mine.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Is it...is it the Best and Worst line of all the characters? Thats you oldest I've found so far...

[Brinniel]

It can't be. I found one older by a few hours called, Audience Participation (about things you should do in theaters while watching LOTR). Is that the correct answer? I'm not so sure.

How is it possible for us to give an answer without finding your first post, Diamond? Did you start the thread?

[Diamond18]

No, but Firondoiel's thread was one of the early ones I posted on (I'll give you brownie points for that — perfectly worthless, but they taste good).

I didn't delete my post, it may have been lost when Estelyn cleaned out old threads in preparation for TTT. My hint meant that I referred to that old post in a semi-recent post. In the Barrow Downs forum. And that's all the hints I'm going to give. smilies/tongue.gif

[aragornreborn]

It was to answer a question about American MPAA ratings!

(That was a very nice post where I found it. More people should be as nice as Diamond18!)

Edit: Here it is. Read it for yourself. It's at the bottom. And take to heart what she and everyone else said. A little niceness never hurt anyone.

How did I find this site?

[Amanaduial the archer]

I'll quote... Well, I think I was looking for LOTR related sites and I just randomly clicked on the Barrowdowns. I took the personality test and it told me I was Aragorn! Yay! Anyway, I was hooked. I got my name, and then I found the forum. And here I am...

Thankyou, aragorn.

Which RPG am I currently working up to co-own for Rohan?

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Silvandl?

Or the Dwarvish one? (I think that was for the Shire, though...)

-Aylwen

[Amanaduial the archer]

Indeed, it is Silvandl. The Last Hope For Moria, as the other one is called, is destined for the Shire.

Your turn, O Harmony of Contentment. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

An easier one:

What was the race and name of my first 'Downs RPG character and what game was it from?

-Aylwen smilies/smile.gif

[Amanaduial the archer]

Jemel, an elf, from Kidnapped! ?

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Nope. smilies/smile.gif Good guess though, that was my...third RPG. Farther back than that... smilies/smile.gif

-Aylwen

[Amanaduial the archer]

Niff, I thought I would throw it out there. smilies/biggrin.gif

Can I ask if it was Freestyle?

EDIT: Ok, Frain, a dwarf, from An Audience With The King?

[ August 19, 2003: Message edited by: Amanaduial the archer ]

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

*Nods* Aye, it was indeed dear old Frain. Good job! Your turn then, Aman. smilies/smile.gif

-Aylwen

[Amanaduial the archer]

Oh, I do apologise, my email is a bit messed up at the moment. Right-o then...

In which RPG that I played in was one of the members banned before the game ended?

[Arien]

Was it Gondorian House Call?

[ August 31, 2003: Message edited by: Arien ]

[Amanaduial the archer]

I am very, very sorry about my absence, I was away this week. Sorry!

Arien: no, it wasn't Gondorian Housecall that I was thinking off - in that one, one of the players was banned before the game could actually really start. No, this one is further back, quite a bit further back. The member in question was banned not long before the game ended. The discussion thread is still up; four other members left before the last post was put up.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Clue: It was a freestyle RPG.

[Arien]

The Crimson Sword?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Indeed it was the Crimson Sword RPG. (The member who was banned was Cimmerian, the four other members who left were Elenna, Shadow_staar, Ransom, and Nevtalathiel)

Your go, Arien. smilies/smile.gif

[Arien]

Ok thanks...

Okay a question....... Who ran my very first RPG?

[Amanaduial the archer]

It was Quest for the Ainereg, but it doesn't actually say who the owner is, as the discussion isn't there. Manardariel, maybe, as hers is the first post?

[The Saucepan Man]

Any chance of a question for us non-RPG'ers? smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Arien]

Errr, no sorry Aman it wasn't. Both threads are still up in Elvenhome, although they are a little below Quest for the Ainereg.

Sorry Saucepan Man smilies/redface.gif !!

[Amanaduial the archer]

Road to Erebor then, started by Himaran.

[Arien]

Yes Aman......continue....

[Amanaduial the archer]

Ok, one which a) isn't too hard, and b) isn't too related to RPGs. Hmmm...

Ok, well this isn't exactly RPG related...on Breeunderbreehill.com, what is my username? (Really, it isn't too hard, I've said in several places)

-Aman

[Maikadilwen]

Is it Mym?

[Amanaduial the archer]

'Tis indeed, O Mistress of Misplaced Spirits. smilies/smile.gif

[Maikadilwen]

Ok, let's see.... Hmm...
Ah, yes. This could be a tricksy one. smilies/evil.gif

Who is my favourite of Tolkien's characters?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Is it Maglor?

[Maikadilwen]

You know, sweetie, just because my location line may mention him, he doesn't have to be my favourite. What about the two stunning dark lords?

But you're right! Maglor it is! smilies/tongue.gif smilies/biggrin.gif
Your turn.

[Amanaduial the archer]

*smacks hand* Oh, I'm a bad person. I do apologise - the day after this post, my hard drive entirely wiped itself, and so I haven't had a connection. Yeah, I wouldn't believe me either... smilies/wink.gif

What forum did I join most recently?

[Beren87]

Anenga! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Amanaduial the archer]

Well, whaddya know, Jedi Beren gets it!

Your turn, sweet.

[Beren87]

Correct, am I.

What was my screenname on the EZboard forum?

[The Saucepan Man]

Would that be hegemonmatt? Something to do with Ender's Game?

[ September 28, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

[Beren87]

With even more information than I asked for. smilies/smile.gif

It does indeed have something to do with Ender's Game. The impetus for the "hegemon" comes from Peter Wiggin's title.

Your go

[The Saucepan Man]

This should be fairly easy for anyone who's read my posts in the Movies forum:

What is my particular "pet" hate about the Two Towers film? smilies/mad.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Orofaniel]

Is it the wargs? You wanted them to be more....like...wargs? smilies/wink.gif smilies/evil.gif

[Amanaduial the archer]

(As in less like crosses between pigs and bears. See wargs - first word to come to mind: bacon)

[The Saucepan Man]

Yes, it is indeed those Lemming-Hyena-Button-Eyed-Stuffed-Toy things that have the nerve to call themselves Wargs. smilies/mad.gif

Well done Orofaniel. smilies/smile.gif Your turn.

[Orofaniel]

Thanks! smilies/wink.gif

Okey, I've never done this before so you'll have to excuse my 'lame' quiz... smilies/smile.gif smilies/eek.gif smilies/evil.gif

Okey,
What is the biggest mistake in FotR, in my opinion???
(I've 'expressed' my 'feelings' somewhere on the forum, o'course smilies/wink.gif)

Good luck! smilies/wink.gif

[Airerûthiel]

I'm going to take a completely wild guess at this because I honestly have no clue, but...is it the absence of Tom Bombadil?

[Orofaniel]

Uh-Hu...it sure is!

Well done, please proceed.... smilies/smile.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Airerûthiel]

I'm really surprised I got that right! smilies/smile.gif

OK, here's my question:

Who said (or wrote) the quote in my previous signature?

[Brinniel]

Hmmm....

Was it Viggo Mortensen?

[Airerûthiel]

Brinniel, you are correct! Your turn...

[Brinniel]

Ooh....a question about me. That's a toughie.

Ok, here we go:

What instrument did I used to play? (hint: I was still playing this instrument when I last mentioned it in a thread)

[Maikadilwen]

Violin?
Not really sure, though...

[Brinniel]

That would be correct, Maika. smilies/smile.gif

[Maikadilwen]

Ok, I've been thinking long and hard about this (ok, so maybe not) and I think I've come up with something that might be a bit of a challenge. Unless someone already knows because they've seen it elsewhere.
But if you don't, the answer lies buried somewhere inside the cold depths of this barrow.
Somewhere.... smilies/evil.gif

I used to be an admin on another forum. What was the theme of that forum?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Ok, no one has posted for a while, and Maika never was one for being very subtle...yes, I do check your blog sometimes...

This was in an old PM of mine...but it was stored on my old computer in a word document. Any chance of a clue...?

[Maikadilwen]

Well, I'd say it's a bit...."cryptic"... smilies/wink.gif

[Amanaduial the archer]

Cryptazoo! Cryptazoo!!!!!

[Maikadilwen]

Well, it's cryptOzoo, actually...(Or crypto-zoology to be precise)

LOL, bravo Aman. And it only took.... wow, just under one month to get that right. smilies/biggrin.gif

You're it!

[Amanaduial the archer]

Now now, Miss Maika, I'll thank thee kindly if theres none of that thankee very much, I wasn't a-watching this thread all the time now, was I, miss?

Ok, a pretty easy one, I will have to revert to RPGs I'm afraid....name 5 RPG characters I have played.

[Beren87]

Well, here goes:

Amanaduial in the GD
Callath in Ambassador's Son
Arthain in Brotherhood
Aenara Oakhelm in Roll Out the Barrels
Nuhrive Fleetheart in Kidnapped
Lindir in Rivendell

I even gave an extra one, love. =P

[Amanaduial the archer]

I was beginning to think no-one would try smilies/biggrin.gif

Very impressive, Beren, surnames and all - if we had a system of bonus marks, you would hereby get one, but as it is, uh...have a cookie.

Your turn smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

I prefer the cookie, anyway. smilies/wink.gif

Hmm... a question. Let's see now...what is my screename on Anenga?

[The Saucepan Man]

You go by the rather modest name, The Indomitable Beren87. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Beren87]

Well, that's not the most recent one (which could actually be found just by scrolling up), but I'll give it to you. smilies/wink.gif

We have the "you-can-change-your-screenname" policy on Anenga.

Your go!

[Amanaduial the archer]

(Also Jedi Beren.)

[The Saucepan Man]

which could actually be found just by scrolling up

But if it could be found by scrolling up, wouldn't that mean that it was an earlier one? smilies/confused.gif smilies/wink.gif

What prompted me first to read the Hobbit?

[Amanaduial the archer]

But if it could be found by scrolling up, wouldn't that mean that it was an earlier one?

No, the other one is there as well, just up the page as he says - I mentioned it after he got the answer to my question 'what forum did I most recently join?'.

Anyway, as to the answer to your question: You read it in school when you were nine or ten. Something about...spiders and glue... smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/wink.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

No, the other one is there as well, just up the page as he says

So the answer was on this thread all along. Doh! smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/wink.gif

You are of course correct, Aman. Although, in case anybody thinks that I was a horribly malevolent child who liked nothing better than glueing spiders' legs together, I should perhaps explain that we had to make a picture of the spiders in the Hobbit using glue and string for the webs. smilies/biggrin.gif

The thread is yours, Aman. smilies/smile.gif

[Amanaduial the archer]

*Looks back and realises she may have made The Saucepan Man out to be one of those evil little children who pull the girl's pigtails and trap spiders to be found in primary schools everywhere* Urk! Goodness, how far from the image of the Saucepan Man can you get... smilies/wink.gif

Hmm...am seriously running out of questions...Ok: approximately when did I get my PT?

[ November 20, 2003: Message edited by: Amanaduial the archer ]

[Amanaduial the archer]

And once again I will edit, as, having looked around a wee bit more, the two threads this was more definitely posted on are now...gone.

I relinquish my go to whoever will have it. smilies/smile.gif

[Elennar Starfire]

I'll take it! (though you could have just asked another question)

What is the dream I had 9/11/01?

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Quote from "Strange but true LotR experiences" or some thread like that:

I dreamed that I was floating in the air, watching a bunch of bats fly by. Several owls showed up to stop them, but three got past them, and one was knocked down. The rest flew away. The scene changed, and I was standing on top of a burning tower, which started to collapse, and I woke up.

-Aylwen

[Elennar Starfire]

That's it! Your turn!

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Thanks!

Ahh, this might be a bit tough: Last year I went on vacation for the holidays, visiting family. Where did I go and what fun thing do those relatives do every winter?

Hint: May be found in Elvenhome.
