Initials game!!!
 
This is my first post in here, so bear with me.
Ever heard of the initials game?
You give out initials(it has to be at least two letters) then guess who they belong to.
ex. B.B.
Say you didn't know who this was, you ask yes or no questions until you do.

Is he/she and elf?
No.
A hobbit?
Yes.
Is he/she a Baggins?
Yes.
Bilbo Baggins?
Good Job!

And so on, but I, and I hope everybody else will come up with harder ones than that.
Oh, and for all the characters with one name, take Legolas or something and put in either their other name in english(or elvish) after a period.
ex. L.G.
or who they're daughter/son of, only with a dash wo we know.
ex. L.-T.
Or if they have many different names like Gandalf...
ex. G.M. or G.S.
or ex2. A.L. for Aragorn, with their dominant initial first.
So I'll start with an easy one.

Who is G.-R.

Lyra Greenleaf 04-24-2003 11:53 AM

Goldberry, daughter of the River perhaps?
or Goldilocks daughter of Rose Gamgee?

Or here's a question: Are they in the Lord of the Rings or the longer histories of Middle Earth?

Ainaserkewen 04-24-2003 01:09 PM

Thank you, it was Goldberry. And the names can be from the Silm. and stuff, but they half to be fairly well known...
You can try harder ones to see if anyone gets them. They need to be accesable though.

Ainaserkewen 04-25-2003 09:31 AM

Next...
Who is T.F.?

Eruwen 04-25-2003 11:55 AM

Is the person in LOTR or the later books?

Lyra Greenleaf 04-25-2003 12:19 PM

*coughs politely*
Is it not now my go since Goldberry was the right answer?

Ainaserkewen 04-25-2003 01:31 PM

Answering Lyra Greenleaf:
It was just taking some time for you, I was impastient, sorry.
You may go now and T.F. can wait.

Lyra Greenleaf 04-26-2003 03:22 AM

Wow, you're very impatient aren't you? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I like it!

OK, F.B.

Arwen_Evenstar 04-26-2003 06:16 AM

Would it by any chance be Mr Frodo Baggins?

Eruwen 04-26-2003 09:28 AM

For some reason I'm hoping that it's not that easy of an initial, so I'm going to go with Fosco Baggins, Frodo's Grandfather.

ElentariGreenleaf 04-26-2003 09:36 AM

You could just go:

Is it a main LotR character? to check.

Nuranar 04-26-2003 09:42 AM

Or Fredegar/Fatty Bolger.

Ah, but if someone beat you to the punch with an actual answer, you're out of luck.

ElentariGreenleaf 04-26-2003 10:06 AM

*shruggs shoulders* Meh ^_^

Lyra Greenleaf 04-26-2003 12:35 PM

Nuranar is right, I was thinking of Fredegar Bolger.

Eruwen 04-26-2003 01:14 PM

oh, that was my next guess. Oh well, I'm awaiting another one now. Bring it on! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Ainaserkewen 04-29-2003 09:52 AM

Let's go Nuranar, I'm waiting.

Nuranar 04-29-2003 01:24 PM

Ack, I forgot that I had ever seriously guessed on this thread. *blushes* I'll edit one in as soon as I think of it - I'm supposed to be finishing a computer science papers right now. *blushes again - how much redder can a person get?*

Edit:

C.-F.

Nuranar 05-02-2003 05:08 PM

Good job! Your turn.

good idea at the time 05-03-2003 09:57 PM

I'm actually leaving on a trip so I won't be able to post for a while and I don't want to leave a thread hanging. Why don't you try another one? Sorry about that.

Lyra Greenleaf 05-04-2003 10:42 AM

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 05-05-2003 02:48 PM

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 05-05-2003 08:38 PM

A.-A.-A. not in the line of Arnor. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Sophia

Tinuviel Took 05-16-2003 08:32 AM

If not Arnor how about Numenor? Anarion son of Ancalime daughter of Aldarion.
