Dwarf Jeopardy - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The Perky Ent · 04-13-2004, 05:23 PM

Hello, I'm Perky, and i'll be your host today. If you like Elvorama, this is the game for you! It's a lovely game so lets get started. The rules are as follows:

RULES:

I will ask a question about anything dwarf related. Each question can be worth 1-5 points depending on how hard the question is. For example, if the question was "Who was the dwarf who traveled with the fellowship" it would be 1 point. However, if it was something like "Name two other names associated with Nibin-Nogrim", it would be 5 points, since it is common knowlege.

The way to score points is, you can b...id on how many points you want to place on a question. The number of points you b...id cannot be greater than the worth of the question. If you are correct, the points you betted will be added to your score. If you are incorrect, the number of points you betted will be deducted from your score. This way, if your guess is wrong and it's a five point question, you won't have to start from scratch by b...etting 1 point.

the person who correctly answers the question can start the next one and so on and so forth. At the end of each month, the person with the highest score will be the Winner of the month and will be recorded in the Hall of Champions. If there is a tie, there will be a tie-breaker.

There are two halls of fame, the Hall of Points and the Hall of Champions. The Hall of Points is a ongoing hall, where the people with the most points are comemorated. The Hall of Champions is only updated once a month.

Well, hopefully you understand the rules! So let's get started! The first question, for 5 points is: Name two other names associated with Nibin-Nogrim

I'll bid 4 points.

Petty-Dwarves and Noegyth Nibin?

Neat idea, btw.
