Hate to say it again, but it works

Is it where they found the survivor?

Fingolfin II · 07-27-2004, 01:52 AM

Is it a holy mountain that existed in Numenor?

So we're supposed to wait until paavo answers his question and Saucepan gives the next letter. Afterwards, some of the questions we're asking now, may not even apply.

Once paavo gives his answer, I will give the next letter. You can then decide whether your question still applies or whether you need to ask a different one.

It occurs to me that giving into questions in this way can be a good tactical move, as it may allow me to avoid having to try to answer questions which I know will come up again but for which I have no answer.

You know paavo, this really is a good game.

to tell you the truth saucepan man, you already answered to my question.

the word I was looking for was Mallorn. Not Mallorn generally but the Mallorn Sam got from galadriel and planted in the shire. I suppose no man ever saw since "big folk" were forbidden to enter inside the shire.

thanks.

I like this game too, I've been playing it with my family for years (although not ME related).

Darn it! That means I have to answer Perky's question again.

OK, here we go:

Quote:

is it the race doomed to die which according to Elrond is weak?

It is not Men.

Quote:

Is it where they found the survivor?

It is not the Mound of the Elf-Maid (where Nienor was found).

Quote:

Is it a holy mountain that existed in Numenor?

It is not Meneltarma.

Keep 'em coming.

has he no fear?

Evisse the Blue · 07-27-2004, 03:57 AM

Is it an enemy of the Enemy which the Elves are glad to see?

It is not Mandos (can't see him fearing much).

OK, Evisse, I yield.

What's your answer?
