Is it a name for Turin?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-03-2005, 12:01 AM

Is the younger the master of the wisest?

paavo · 03-03-2005, 08:27 AM

Is it one of the three?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-08-2005, 12:43 AM

Is it in the danger of disappearing?

Firefoot · 03-08-2005, 05:34 PM

Is it a name for Turin? Not the Master of Doom
Is the younger the master of the wisest? Not the master of the wisest

Is it one of the three? Not Master Underhill (One of the three references to the name: Frodo, the Underhills living in Breeland, and the geographical location near Hobbiton.)
Is it in the danger of disappearing? Not the Master Ring

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-09-2005, 01:53 AM

Is the younger the master of the wisest?

paavo · 03-09-2005, 10:49 AM

Is it one of the three?

EDIT: oops. Now this is embarrassing... The answer for my question does not start with MAS. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Firefoot · 03-13-2005, 04:22 PM

Is the younger the master of the wisest? No

Erm.

I'm going to have to call you on that, Nil. (I didn't think there were that many options left for MAS, but you would go for the obscurest reference you could find...)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-13-2005, 07:03 PM

My answer is Masters of Spirits, with Lórien (the younger) as the master of Olórin (the wisest).

Next letter!

~*~

Erm, I didn't realise (until now, that is) that you answered this question of mine:

Quote:

Is it in the danger of disappearing? (Me)

I meant this thread.

Firefoot · 03-13-2005, 08:24 PM

Well, shoot, I even looked at Gandalf being the "wisest".

As for that other question, well, no wonder I couldn't find a truly plausible answer!

MAST.

(But I suppose that doesn't tell a whole lot; most of the MAS's are also MAST's).

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-13-2005, 08:36 PM

Is it a gardener-turned-Elf warrior?

Firefoot · 03-13-2005, 09:16 PM

Is it a gardener-turned-Elf warrior? Not Master Samwise

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-13-2005, 10:11 PM

Is it the palantír server?

Gil-Galad · 03-14-2005, 08:22 AM

Is it a name for two different-yet-same people?

paavo · 03-14-2005, 10:46 AM

is it a title found near the area of the home of the one who squeezed through a hole?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-27-2005, 01:43 AM

Is it one who forgot this thread--twice?

Firefoot · 03-27-2005, 10:02 AM

I've got to do better with this one.

Is it the palantír server? Not the Master-stone
Is it a name for two different-yet-same people? Not Master Baggins
is it a title found near the area of the home of the one who squeezed through a hole? Not the Master of Buckland

paavo · 03-27-2005, 02:36 PM

Firefoot · 03-27-2005, 03:17 PM

Is it a sobriquet Merry received in Rohan?

paavo · 03-28-2005, 04:27 AM

is it a title found near the area of the home of the one who squeezed through a hole?

Firefoot · 04-02-2005, 08:28 AM

Is it a sobriquet Merry received in Rohan? Not Master Bag
is it a title found near the area of the home of the one who squeezed through a hole? Alright... what's your answer?

paavo · 04-02-2005, 08:36 AM

The answer is master of lake-town, the title given to the leader of the lake-men who lived on the Long lake, not far from Erebor inhabited by Smaug whose name mean "'squeezed through a hole". Next letter please

Firefoot · 04-02-2005, 08:46 AM

Well, I'm afraid I can't give you the next answer - Master of Lake-town was it! Good job.

I did not know about that meaning of Smaug - I guess you learn something new every day.

paavo · 04-02-2005, 02:28 PM

Instead of several lines of vain and idle babbling which would take minutes and minutes for all of you to read before getting to the actual point if ever getting there I will instead say right away the beginning letter so that the game can again start without delay and futile inconcience in the form of losing time...

Starts with N

Firefoot · 04-02-2005, 02:43 PM

Is it one whose doom was wrapped up in its master?

paavo · 04-02-2005, 03:10 PM

Now this doesn't sound too good... If your answer is the one I think it is this is proving to be the shortest game yet. What is your answer?

Firefoot · 04-02-2005, 04:42 PM

Niniel, whose doom was wrapped up in Turin's, the Master of Doom

paavo · 04-03-2005, 06:17 AM

Now this is scary.

Are you a mind reader or something? My answer was Niniel, You got the thread with your first question.

I can't say anything else than well done.

Firefoot · 04-03-2005, 09:51 AM

And here I thought maybe I was done with this game for a while...

Thanks.
