Right, a new game. A person chooses a character from the Tolkien's books and others ask descriptive (not like 'was this character one of the fellowship?') questions about this person, which could only be answered 'yes' or 'no'. Or there maybe another version: a person gives a description of a character and people try to guess it or ask additional questions.
What do you think? ::)
-
pretty cool
-
ooh, lets give it a try :)
-
Great! :)
As Tolkien didn't give us much outward character descriptons I'll choose a character from the movie, and describe the character as he/she is pictured in the film
The character is bold, proud, stubborn even. The character is mighty in battle. He/she survived the downfall of Sauron; not of the line of the kings, though close kin to the king.
-
a hobbit?
-
No, not a hobbit
-
a wizard?
-
Not a wizard either
-
A man?
-
Yeah, the character belongs to the race of Men
-
Isiluder? (Sowwy can't spell)
-
It spells 'Isildur', but it's not him
-
Eowyn?
-
Yeah it's her. I didn't think that would be so easy.
Your turn :)
-
Yay!! Hmmm Now Me has to think.
Loyal to a tee, this Character puts his/her heart and soul into every task, even without the worldly knowledge of the others.
-
Difficult it seems... a hobbit?
-
Yesh :P That kinda gives it away!
-
Err Samwise?
-

NO

NO

Now Twon't be Legolas 'cause thats too easy.
Galadriel?
-
That'd be too easy too. :P
-
Lol Twas worth a shot!
Celeborn?
-
Not Celeborn. Maybe a question instead of the shot? ::)
-
Ohhh Good Idea lol!
Is he a warrior-elf-person?
Ahem does he fight at all?
-
YEah, he can fight well, I think. I'm not sure if he is an elven warrior, but he fought indeed
-
Elrond?
-
Nope. It's less important person
-
Haldir?
Woo theres me going on my 'pick a random character' stage! ::)
