The "is it" game - Page 42 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gil-Galad · 01-28-2006, 12:31 AM

not Goldenhead

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-28-2006, 12:32 AM

Is it renamed?

Gil-Galad · 01-28-2006, 02:00 PM

What is your anwser Nilp? it may be the right one

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-29-2006, 03:53 AM

Goldenbed, or Rathlóriel, the epessë of the river Ascar.

Gil-Galad · 01-29-2006, 02:21 PM

yeah its the right one, your turn Nilp

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-01-2006, 03:19 AM

Oh, dear. Now I'm the target of nassty questions? *gulp*

N

paavo · 02-01-2006, 10:06 AM

Was it a chameleon of sort?

Gil-Galad · 02-01-2006, 06:51 PM

was he a king of a cave who later became reincarnated as a weird barrowdowner?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-02-2006, 07:12 PM

Was it a chameleon of sort? Not Nenya.

was he a king of a cave who later became reincarnated as a weird barrowdowner? What? Do you mean me? Or my father, Nóm?

Digression: I am proud to tell you that I now know how to properly pronounce paavo's name.

paavo · 02-03-2006, 04:57 PM

Was it a chameleon of sort (a living one)?

Digression continued: Well, well. I have to congratulate you for that. Not quite many people know that my name ought to be pronounced with a soft 'b' followed by a short 'a' like in 'case' and 'vo' as in 'vote' at the last.

Gil-Galad · 02-03-2006, 07:16 PM

was he a king of a cave who later became reincarnated as a weird barrowdowner?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-04-2006, 12:58 AM

Was it a chameleon of sort (a living one)? Not Nazgûl?

was he a king of a cave who later became reincarnated as a weird barrowdowner? Not Nimrodel?

Digression continued again: Heh, well, I've been really interested in Suomi lately.

paavo · 02-04-2006, 03:06 PM

Then I guess I can soon start asking the questions in finnish.

Gil-Galad · 02-04-2006, 10:44 PM

was he a king of a cave who later became reincarnated as a weird barrowdowner?

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-05-2006, 02:44 AM

Is it down without a barrow?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-05-2006, 07:03 PM

Was it a chameleon of sort (a living one)? I give up!
was he a king of a cave who later became reincarnated as a weird barrowdowner? Okay, hit me. Not a literal hit, of course!

Is it down without a barrow? Not the North Downs

No, not yet! My Finnish is not good, not good at all.

paavo · 02-06-2006, 10:24 AM

The correct answer is Nahar, the horse of Orome whose coat was said to be white during the day but silver in the night.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-09-2006, 11:39 PM

Gil-galad?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-15-2006, 03:32 AM

NA

paavo · 02-15-2006, 01:27 PM

Did he propbably hold friendship in great esteem?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-15-2006, 06:42 PM

Fight me! *Sharingan goes active*

Eh . . . maybe not here. But you will pay for that remark.

Maybe you can give him the thread, and then ask him all sorts of horrible questions!

Hmmm . . .

Enedwaith, Gil-galad can still come and give me an answer to his conundrum, and I will still give a letter in return. I just had to get things moving again, y'know.

Did he propbably hold friendship in great esteem? Not Narvi

Gil-Galad · 02-15-2006, 09:39 PM

heh... mine was Nilpaurion Felagund I.E. you!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-16-2006, 03:30 AM

I'm . . . not exactly a king of a cave.

I'm not even in the books.

What's the ruling on this?

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-16-2006, 05:58 AM

The rule:

Is the name of a member of the Barrow Downs, loosely but not directly based on a ME character, sufficiently ME related?

The ruling:

Your question, Nilp. Your decision.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-16-2006, 06:18 AM

My decision?

Well, I'm not king of a cave, so sorry Gil. (I haven't published an autobiography yet, you see.)

paavo · 02-16-2006, 09:42 AM

Would it come in handy up here in Finland? (Hint: Based on your behaviour it could help you too

)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-17-2006, 01:14 AM

Would it come in handy up here in Finland? (Hint: Based on your behaviour it could help you too

) Not Narsil?

While you ask the question again . . . I'll go ask someone.

paavo · 02-17-2006, 05:44 AM

Nah, I'm not so boring as to ask the same question twice: I'll leave the hint part out this time.

Would it come in handy up here in Finland?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-19-2006, 05:11 AM

Would it come in handy up here in Finland? Not Narya?

You'll get yours someday!!!

paavo · 02-20-2006, 03:33 PM

Narya actually was my original answer but just for the fun of it: Would it come in handy up here in Finland?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-20-2006, 11:58 PM

Would it come in handy up here in Finland? Not nar (as in Elvish for 'fire')?

paavo · 02-21-2006, 05:24 AM

If it was up to them, would the world soon be one big Swiss cheese?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-22-2006, 01:38 AM

If it was up to them, would the world soon be one big Swiss cheese? Not Nameless Things

paavo · 02-22-2006, 06:51 AM

Is it a border between the new and the old?

JennyHallu · 02-22-2006, 07:46 AM

Is it the waning of the year?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-22-2006, 05:56 PM

Is it a border between the new and the old? Not Narvinyë
Is it the waning of the year? Not Narquelië

JennyHallu · 02-22-2006, 06:43 PM

Is it a survivor of a bane?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-22-2006, 07:12 PM

Is it a survivor of a bane? Not Nár

JennyHallu · 02-22-2006, 08:46 PM

Is it a survivor of a bane?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-23-2006, 12:25 AM
