This isnt that big of a deal. But whoever gets to Z, picks a new 'theme' for the alphabet game. Telchar picked Numenor, so all our answers should be somewhat related to Numenor. The next person to get to Z, might pick Valar or Geography, then we would try to go A-Z naming all the things that deal with those two 'themes'.

Telchar 04-12-2002 12:57 PM
