Be an Orc during the Charge of the Rohirram at Pelannor or Battle against Smaug?
If the book (not movie charge) The Rohirram Charge, since
you might survive, while against Smaug...

Would you rather be...a young orc carrying a message by
Shelob's lair or sent to get the Goblin King a nice
fish for dinner?

Get the Goblin King a Nice fish for dinner, Doesn't sound to dangerous and sounds easy enough.:p

Would you Rather be an Orc of Mordor or an Orc of Isengard?

Gollum the Great 08-27-2008 03:24 PM

Isengard. Saruman was way cooler.


Would you rather ride a great eagle or a hell-hawk (the fell beasts)?

Caladarasiel 08-27-2008 05:34 PM

Ummm let me think this is such a hard descision I pick Eagle!

Would you rather be a prisoner to Sauron or Sarauman?

Lindale 08-27-2008 07:18 PM

Saruman na lang. Orthanc would be lovelier than Mordor, I guess

Visit at her respective home Morwen, Erendis, Ancalime, or Niniel?

Eomer of the Rohirrim 09-07-2010 06:31 AM

I get the feeling Morwen would be more interesting than the others, so I choose her.

Would you rather go clubbing with hip young things from Rohan or Gondor?

Lalaith 09-07-2010 01:12 PM

Oh, good call.
On reflection...I'd rather eat out with Gondorians, but I think the Rohirrim would make better ravers...

Would you rather align yourself with the North or South Kingdom?

Galadriel55 10-19-2010 04:30 PM

the north. they're more interesting

would you rather be an orc lost in Fangorn Forest or a hobbit surrounded by all 9 nazguls?

Eomer of the Rohirrim 10-20-2010 04:20 AM

An Orc. It might escape the trees and Ents, but the Hobbit has no chance. Plus I could curse and slaver and snarl to my heart's content.

Would you rather fight the Watcher in the Water or Treebeard?

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-20-2010 06:32 AM

Treebeard! First of all he isn't slimy and does not hide in weird places, but mostly I chose him because I know by which means he can be defeated. I will most likely loose any fight, but I have most information about treebeard.


Would you rather beat Denethor with a shovel or throw Legolas into Mount Doom?

Galadriel55 10-20-2010 06:26 PM

Beat Denethor with a shovel. He deserves it for being so mean to Faramir and so rude to Gandalf. Plus, Legolas is still too young to die! lol

OK. Would you rather tickle Smaug or try to throw a lasso at a Nazgul?

Folwren 10-22-2010 10:37 AM

Throw a lasso. There is a chance I might miss and not be noticed.

Would you rather become a shirriff and betray all your friends to the Big Men, or would you rather be loyal and be locked up in the lockholes?

Be loyal - you will be released anyways when Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin come back, and you will be a hero, and you will have many friends. Whereas I doubt that the former sheriffs had many friends left after Saruman was killed.

Oh god! It's getting harder and harder to come up with new things!
How about this: face an angry Turin Turambar or get caught by Thorin Oakenshield while stealing his father's jewel (I forget what its called)?

Diamond18 10-22-2010 07:28 PM

inquiring minds....
 
Since it's unclear what I've done to anger Turin, I'll assume that I'm in the right and he's being unreasonable, so I'll go with that. I'd rather not be stealing anyone's jewels.

Would you rather be an Elf or a Hobbit?

(I'm surprised this one hasn't been asked as it's a rather basic one. :p)

Galadriel55 10-22-2010 07:54 PM

a hobbit. I don't care much for living for thousands of years; it gets boring after a couple of hundred...:)

Here's another simple one:would you rather be Merry or Pippin?

Galadriel55 10-27-2010 05:32 PM

Since no one seems to want to answer this one, I'll do it myself. I'd rather be Merry - I would prefer Theoden's copany to Denethor's.
Here's a different question, and hopefully people will answer.

Would you rather be Saruman or Grima Wortongue?

Diamond18 10-27-2010 06:33 PM

Saruman. Grima has no luck with the ladies.

Would you rather be eaten by Shelob, or die of starvation in Mordor?

Galadriel55 10-31-2010 01:24 PM

die in Mordor. At least people will say that you died because of unfortunate circumstances, not your own lack of fighting skills or vigilance or whatever else I needed to pass Shelob. (it's not your fault that you died)

would you rather be Morgoth or Sauron?

Eomer of the Rohirrim 11-02-2010 09:28 AM

I'd rather be Sauron. Morgoth must get so annoyed, walking around with a limp all the time. :p

Would you rather drink at the Prancing Pony or the Green Dragon?

elronds_daughter 11-02-2010 09:29 AM

Definitely Morgoth. Sauron got owned. (EDIT: Yes, I know Morgoth's doom is inevitable. But more powerful being = more epic destruction.)

Would you rather have Gandalf angry with you or do battle with Aragorn?

Eomer of the Rohirrim 11-02-2010 09:29 AM

Double post! :smokin:

Next person, answer both questions.

Galadriel55 11-02-2010 08:46 PM

The Prancing Pony sounds more interesting, since you have hobbits, men, and sometimes dwarves to talk to.
I'd rather have Gandalf get angry at me, since it doesn't specify who I am and what I've done. I'll assume I'm not a Nazgul or Grima Wormtongue or any other evil character. Maybe I'm Pippin, and he yells "Fool of a Took!" at me. Even if I did do something wrong, Gandalf will get angry to make sure that I don't do it again, not for any other reason.

If you were to visit one of the following Elven settlements, which one would it be?
Rivendell, Lothlorien, Grey Havens, Mirkwood, or Hollin (Eregion) when it still existed?

elronds_daughter 11-04-2010 07:17 PM

Mirkwood, definitely. As long as the spiders mind their own business. :)

Would you rather live with Beorn or Quickbeam?

Galadriel55 11-19-2010 03:17 PM

Beorn would be more lively.

Would you rather be Beren or Aragorn?

sassyfriend 09-10-2011 09:32 PM

I would be Aragorn

Would u rather be killed by Aragorn or Legolas?

Elfchick7 09-10-2011 09:36 PM

Legolas, I feel that he'd make it quicker.

Would you rather have to fight a balrog or Saruman?

Galadriel55 09-11-2011 07:51 AM

Balrog. Just throw him off a cliff. You never know what tricks Saruman is up to.

Would you rather visit Caras Galadhon or Cerin Amroth?

sassyfriend 09-11-2011 02:30 PM

Caras galadron

Would u rather walk on snow or walk on water?

Pitchwife 09-11-2011 02:46 PM

Water, because this includes the ability to walk on snow, which is just frozen water.

Would you rather ride an Eagle or a Fell Beast?

Bom Tombadillo 09-11-2011 03:56 PM

Fell beasts are explicitly said to stink, so Eagles.

Would you rather be a good or evil Ainu? (Assume an approximately equal chance of success for each side).

sassyfriend 09-11-2011 04:12 PM

Good

Would you rather be forced to stay 40 in Mordor or Moria?

Galadriel55 09-11-2011 04:20 PM

Moria, because it wasn't always evit and it's more mysterious. And away from Sauron.

Would you rather be Sauron or Morgoth?

sassyfriend 09-11-2011 06:37 PM

Sauron

Would u rather remember 9/11 or Be in a war?

Galadriel55 09-11-2011 08:00 PM

I'm not sure how that is related to ME...

That depends on which war it is. If it's one of those romanticised long-ago wars, then go to war. But if you're talking about relatively modern wars, then 9/11. I guess 9/11 for a final answer.

Would you rather be captured in Dol Guldur or in Barad Dur?

sassyfriend 09-11-2011 08:26 PM

Bararad dur

Would u rather be stepped on by ents or by a troll

Bom Tombadillo 09-11-2011 09:54 PM

Trolls. One could probably live out one's entire life before an Ent got around to stepping off of you . . .

Then again, if you're being stepped on by a troll, you probably won't have a life to live out much longer.

Would you rather be in the army of Saruman or Sauron?

Galadriel55 09-12-2011 05:24 AM

Saruman. I think that Ugluk is cooler than Grishnakh.

Would you rather be a Ranger of the North or of Ithilien?

Legate of Amon Lanc 09-12-2011 05:40 AM

Ithilien. I really like that place. It's... I don't know, I think it's greener. Plus, you get Henneth Annun with the lovely waterfall. In the North, I'd only get "random ruins after being kicked out of Butterbur's Inn and walking three days in wet clothes, Part Two".

Would you rather be sent to negotiate with Smaug or the Mouth of Sauron?

sassyfriend 09-12-2011 07:54 AM

With smaug

Would u rather have a fight with Aragorn or Boromir?

Bom Tombadillo 09-12-2011 11:02 AM

Boromir. He seems to be a generally worse fighter than Aragorn, so as I am I'd be more likely to survive; and assuming the fight is on even terms, I'd fight Boromir because I don't like him as much.

Would you rather go with Frodo and Sam to Mount Doom or with Merry and Pippin to Isengard?
