Who can Stump me

Maybe this could be a fun game.

You ask me a question

If I can't answer or answer incorrectly, then you get to host the game.

Let's please avoid quotes as there are allready threads for that

The whole realm of Middle Earth is allowable, I do however have an affliction to the Books of Lost Tales.

I don't claim to be a genious of Tolkien works, I just think it will make a great game.


ASK AWAY!!!

Oooo. I just can't resist a challenge. Let me think up a real stumper. Hmm . . . .

This elf, who dwelt in the forest, was executed by being thrown off a cliff.

Golly, that question was rather hard to word. It's probably a sinch, though.

If there is some way that you can revise this game Gorthol, then I will allow it, but the way it is now, it is limited to only a small amount of posters that can play at the same time. Or am I mistaken?

Also, all posters- Note the sticky at the top of the main page concerning game threads.

To Rosie

I'm going to say Eöl the dark elf. He dwelt in the forest in heart and soul, but was executed because he was forced to dwell in Gondolin and while trying to kill his son, he killed his wife (Turgon's sister) instead.

To SGH

As many people that want to ask can ask. I'll answer them in the order they come. If you want to end this thread its not a problem.

No, I don't want to end the thread. I just wanted to make sure that it was a game that everyone could join in on.

Gorthol, is there a time limit to the one who answers the questions?
My question: what are the names of the blue wizards. (Valinor Names) and of Saruman and Radagast in Valinor?

Blue Wizards: Alatar and Pallando
Saruman: Curumo
Radagast: Aiwendil
Gandalf: Olorin


I believe that 36 hours should be sufficient to answering questions

Great Question!!!
I honestly don't know, but I'm going to answer with Tulkas.

Tulkas is not a Valier!! He would stumped you indeed if he'd what you have said

I think the answer is Estë. She was originally supposed to be the number one of the maiar.

No, Tulkas is not a Valie. The Valier are the female Valar. Tulkas is a male Vala.

Fat Middle was correct, it was Estë, not Tulkas! So stump me. (Knows that she will be stumped immediately.)

And Valie is the singular of Valier. Just as Vala is the singular of Valar. (So you can't have 'a Valier' or 'a Valar'.)
