Um...Gil-Galad. I haven't given the letter yet, so I'm just gonna ignore that one.


The letter is....E!

Firefoot 07-23-2004 10:57 AM

Does it know all about runes?

The Perky Ent 07-23-2004 10:59 AM

Well, I don't think I know that one. And I think the rule is, if you can't guess it, you have to give the next letter.

So....El

Gil-Galad 07-23-2004 10:59 AM

actually you have to wait for the asker to give the right answer before giving the next letter. since otherwise the asker could ask for the same answer with a slightly different question. I have edited this also in my first post.

The Perky Ent 07-23-2004 11:11 AM

ok, well, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter, since I've already given the next letter, but now i know.

paavo 07-23-2004 11:13 AM

is it someone who could be mistaken for a member of the Rohirrim?

Firefoot 07-23-2004 11:13 AM

The one that I had in mind was Elrond.

Is it another name for a tall mountain?

Morsul the Dark 07-23-2004 11:15 AM

is a brouche that Galadriel gave as a gift?

The Perky Ent 07-23-2004 11:18 AM

I thought that might have been it, but anyways....hmm. I'm stumped both ways. I can't get the mountain, unless you were going for Erebor, which I highly doubt. As for the mistaken Rohirrim, the only one I can think of is Eowyn, and that's not right. So, if you can, give me your answers, and we can get this over with.

Firefoot 07-23-2004 11:19 AM

Elerrina is another name for Taniquetil.

The Perky Ent 07-23-2004 11:20 AM

And unless you mean the phial of Earendil, then it's not Elfstone

paavo 07-23-2004 11:21 AM

my answer is Elrohir. Rohir could be translated "horse-lord" and thus Elrohir could be mistaken for a rider of rohan.

The Perky Ent 07-23-2004 11:21 AM

Well, here's the dead give away: Elo

Firefoot 07-23-2004 11:23 AM

Is it a tall tower where a palantir was placed?

The Perky Ent 07-23-2004 11:24 AM

Yes, it is Elostirion! Good job! Your go!

The Saucepan Man 07-23-2004 11:29 AM

Paavo is right. The game only works if, when the person setting the clue cannot answer a question, the question-asker gives the answer that they had in mind. Only when they have done so should the next letter be given. Otherwise people could ask questions to which there is no answer that fits and thereby get all the letters.

It would be best of people hold off from asking questions until the asker has given the answer that they had in mind and the next letter has been given. Otherwise it tends to get somewhat confusing.

Firefoot 07-23-2004 02:29 PM

Thanks. :)

Starts with an F.

The Perky Ent 07-23-2004 02:30 PM

Is it the un-loved one?

Evisse the Blue 07-23-2004 02:35 PM

Is it one from a party of thirteen?

paavo 07-23-2004 02:38 PM

is it probably the biggest living thing in ME?

Tuor of Gondolin 07-23-2004 02:42 PM

Is it an elvish name for men?

Thorongil 07-23-2004 02:43 PM

Is it a ringbearer?

Firefoot 07-23-2004 03:20 PM

It's not Faramir, Fíli, Flame of Udun, Frodo, or Fírimar.
