Geography Direction Quiz!
 

This is another idea i just came up with. basically the question-asker states a posistion on any Tolkien map and gives a direct (North, south-east etc.)

EI: Gondolin, South-West


and the next person gives a name of a place

Falas

the question-asker then goes off of that location, saying the direction is desired place is

North-East

it goes on from there till someone names the desired place, in this case it will be Nargothrond.

it doesn't have to be a city! it can be a mountain, river, anything located on a map!

Isengard, South-East

Wow, looks interesting.

I will start close. Though there is still something that can be between. Edoras?

I have a question.
Do we have to wait for the question asker to cofirm the guess or give a new direction or can we post another location on that direction we think might be correct.

For example, am I allowed to say Minas Tirith now or do I have to wait for you to tell Legate if he's right?

i think for now we should wait on the question asker, if it gets too easy then we could step it up to make it difficult

Edoras -> South-East

Fords of Erui (in Lossarnach)

Still south-east? :)

I find it somewhat unfair that you have in a way to be lucky to be the first to post after the asker posts in order to have a chance.
Now I can't post and after you'll answer Gil, who knows who will.
It's not like I am bothered by this but...it's just that without the possibility to post at all times the game seems to lack any dynamic...

hmmm.... alright we'll go your way after someone gets it right.

Fords of Erui (in Lossarnach) -> North-West


by the way, the easiest way to do this is when your looking on a map, split it into qudarants with the axis on the current location. for example, isengard to carn dum isn't exactly north-west, but it is in that quadrant.

Minas Tirith?

Aye it be Minas Tirith.

from now one we are going to do altered rules where it won't go one at a time.

Sweet. Ok, here I go.

From Minas Tirith, going north.

What about the Mountains of Mirkwood.

Neither of those. Think a bit closer to home.

I say Dead Marshes.

Dead Marshes it is! Nice job, Legate. Your go.

Okay.

From Dead Marshes, let's go to the north-west (surprisingly :) ).

Ettenmoors?

The Wold

Fangorn.

wow i like how this thread is turning out so far...

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Wold: North-west. Fangorn: Still north-west. Ettenmoors: west.

Fornost?

No. South.

The Barrow-Downs?

Amon Hen?... or is that Sul... always get those two mixed up

Bree?

Barrow-downs: north-east
Amon Sul (if you mean it, you could have simply said Weathertop): west
Bree: north-east

I'll go with Midgewater.

I think you got it, Might!:D

Nah, it could also be something else just west of Midgewater (not gonna say what, cause that would be two answers) Debatably it could also be considered NE of Bree.

Yes, you did wrong not to try anything else, Groin. It is not Midgewater. West.

Buckland? No way. East.

looking on my giant wall map and i see nothing between Bree and Midgewater save The Great East Road

Then you are obviously looking wrong. Great East Road you say? North.

Then maybe it is that, that I was talking about in my last post. Chetwood.

Of course, Chetwood, what else. Your turn, Miggy :)

Indeed, I thought that after my last post things were pretty clear about the other option. But I like Midgewater better, they have neeker-breekers. So, Iron Hills -> SW

The Field of Celebrant?

By the way, Miggy, I believe the game was supposed to work the way you continue from the last place. So you should have started at Chetwood.

Anyway, I wanted to say Amon Lanc :D , yet I see it was (technically ;) ) already taken. So I say Fangorn, just to make it interesting.
