“And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.” ~ The Silmarillion

The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jun 20, 2006	Perhaps... Permalink   I was wondering if I could start a thread similar to trivia, but with riddles. I mean, someone says a riddle which must be ME-related, and the others try to answer it the one that manages to answer it can be next the rules are just like in trivia, only with riddles instead of questions, and the riddles could also be made for different subjects but I am not sure if this would be allowed, so, I am just making a proposal... -- Edited by The Might at 21:17, 2006-06-20 __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland

The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jun 20, 2006	Permalink   not quite because...it is not a lore question it is a riddle...and for that you don't only have to know lore, you have to be smart __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland

Glorfindel Anarion, Son of Elendil - rank 8 Status: Offline Posts: 2154 Date: Jun 20, 2006	RE: Perhaps... Permalink   Well i think its a good idear, but judging by the riddles in the Hobbit I would not stand a chance - I only knew about 2 maximum out of it! No-legs lay on one-leg, two-legs sat near on three-legs, four-legs got some. Answer = "Fish on a little table, man at table sitting on a stool, the cat has the bones" - What??!!   A box without hinges, key, or lid, Yet golden treasure inside is hid. Answer = Eggses - WHAT??!!!   An eye in a blue face Saw an eye in a green face. "That eye is like to this eye" Said the first eye, "But in low place, Not in high place.". Answer =  "Sun on the daisies it means, it does." - WHAT??!!!!!!   I really don't get those riddles. __________________ Utúlie'n  aurë!  Aiya  Eldalië  ar  Atanatári,  utúlie'n  aurë!  Auta  i  lómë!  Aurë entuluva!
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jun 20, 2006	Permalink   no, much easier ones like: He is master of the flames And owns the ring of fire Wild horses he tames And comes when need is dire Answer = Gandalf __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
Ungoliant Maiar Status: Offline Posts: 125 Date: Jun 21, 2006	Permalink   Sounds like a wonderful idea not to mention a lot of fun, and from the sound of it others here seem to agree! So...you have permission to open a riddle thread whenever you wish within the general forums. Enjoy everyone! __________________ The more I consumath the more I hunger for, render me the Silmarils!

mouth of sauron Samwise Gamgee - rank 9 Status: Offline Posts: 2369 Date: Jun 25, 2006	Permalink   I believe its only Valar which are called Lords and Ladies, correct me if I am wrong. __________________ My Master Sauron the Great bids thee Welcome....
The Might Witchking of Angmar - Rank 10 Status: Offline Posts: 3110 Date: Jul 8, 2006	Permalink   well, not really I guess The One said we should use these polite terms for the Valar but he never said we couldn't do the same for lesser moderators such as the Maiar. in the end I guess it is up to each of us to decide when he wishes to use such a term and when not __________________ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland
