err not entirely...shafted is a lesser extent of being cut...there now that should help you

paavo · 12-18-2004, 04:53 AM

hmm... It probably should help, but it doesn't.

So I'll take one more guess: it's not Grima. If Grima is not the answer you are looking for please give the correct answer and I'll give the next letter.

Gil-Galad · 12-18-2004, 01:02 PM

nope, my guess was Gil-Galad, you only saw him in the movie stabbing an orc in the chest, one of the original intros would show more of Gil-galad, but they didn't do that, so Gil-Galad got shafted
