10 Day Rule!
 

I really enjoy O_Os and i think this one deserves to live!


********REVIVE********

And the OIO is:

Simarils
Arkenstone
Vilya
Sting
Frodo's mithril vest
ring of barahir

Ring of Barahir - because there was no fight for its possession?

Arkenstone - not made by elves.

Nope! :D

hmmm

-Silmarils? wait wait! hear me out! only items not given as gifts at some point. see my reasoning

-the arkenstone was given to thorin oakenshield (well, his tomb) by bard
-vilya was given to Elrond from Gil-Galad
-Sting and the MIthril vest given to frodo from bilbo
-ring of barahir was a gift to barahir from finrod

now the silmarils, made by feanor, were never really given. only recovered through war. And even stolen by Maedhros and Maglor. so there!

Great Reasoning...but not the right answer! That was a good point, but not what i'm looking for! Sorry though

Sting didn't have any jewels on it.

Silmarils and Arkenstone - Duh...
Vilya had a sapphire, if I remember it rightly
The mithril vest had pearl and crystal in a belt
The Ring of Barahir had emeralds in it

The Silmarils- the location of these was not exactly known during the Third Age?

Carry on
 

I don’t mind that you want to revive this treat but the 10-day rule doesn’t apply. :rolleyes:

The 10 day rule doesn't apply???? The last post was on 12-02-2003 01:09 PM!! That's months apart!!!! The 10 day rule definitly applies!

10 day rule
 

Technically, Estanesse is correct.

The Quiz Room rules state:


Since the last post before the thread was revived was by the question-setter (Estanesse) and it was not confirming a correct answer, the rule does not technically apply.

However, you are right, Perky, in the sense that it should apply in these circumstances. I will amend the rules accordingly. :)

THe Silmarils, as they were the only item made in Aman

True, but no

Frodo's Mithril vest was the only item not to be handled by elves.

Just a guess...
 

Silmarils...all of the others were present in the 3rd Age - either in the Hobbit or LOTR.

The Ring of Barahir; it was the only item to be owned by Aragorn.

The Ring of Barahir- the only one owned by a man?

nope. Here's a hint, it has nothing to do with the people who made it.

sting, because it's the only one where we don't know who it's first owner was?

#1
The Arkenstone because Frodo never looked upon it.
#2
The Arkenstone because it was the only thing not worn.???

and ***gandalf*** is correct! your turn!

i suggest that mr.gandalf starts a new thread due to the length of thsi one

right! here's the new one!

Nenya
Narya
Ring of barahir
Vilya


encredibly easy

Ring of Barahir, the only one not one of the three elvish rings?

perky if yoru right, start a new thread plz



Narya is only ring to be passed on to a maia, or nenya only ring with one bearer

Perky is right. And Gil-Galad, if the thread isn't 11 pages, why is there a need?

i don't want admin getting up tight, i'm just trying to make there job easier

right, but if i made another one, this one wouldn't be closed and there would be two

nah i can close it, i did start it...

in that case, close it and i'll make another!

righti-o!

Thread closed
 

Hehe. I've got you guys so well trained. :D ;)

Strictly speaking, it isn't over the 10 page limit yet, but this seems as good a time as any to start a new thread as it soon will be. I'll close it now and then you can start a new one, Perky. Please remember to include the rules for the game in your first post.

Thanks. :)

Thread re-opened
 

No new version of this game appears to have been opened up after this thread was closed. Since there is no longer any problem with thread length, I am re-opening it and bumping it up.

Anyone may ask a new question.

K! I'll start a new one!


The simarils
The Pial of Galadriel
Sting
Frodo's mithril vest


Have fun!

OK then I'll go.

Valaromá
Ulmúri
Angainor
Boromir's Horn of Gondor

Hmm, two different have been started...
I know the answer to Elwe's question: Angainor was a chain, all the other ones were horns.

Sorry Elwe! First come first serve ;)

Ok then looks like I spent to long finding a question. I'll say....they all have their own light source. Sting Glowed and the Phial of Galadriel and the Silmarils obviously shone.
NightKnight was right though.

...so your answer is Frodo's mithril vest? Nope, try again :)
