Lord of the Rings Fanatics Plaza

@KingODuckingham ducks are not allowed to play alliterative games. Kidding, you're right, my bad. Your points have been updated. Everyone else, feel free to check I added your points correctly.

Any name NOT in an Elven language - Marigold

Round is closed. Dimcairien, I'm sorry, Morwen is Sindarin and thus doesn't fit the category. The points for round 4:

Aerlinn: 10
Almarëa: 12
Arothir: 2
Dimcairien: 8
Dincairwen: 2
Dis: 1
Dwim: 6
Elvheimdros: 6
KingoDuckingham: 10
Lailyn: 6
Lirimaer: 11
Nerwen: 2
Sil: 4
Tarawen: 11
Winddancer: 11

Final round! The letters are B, J, N, O, R, S, T. There is only one category:
You must answer with a plaza member.
It cannot be yourself, even if you fit one of the letters.
Use the @ to prove that they exist and also risk their wrath just to earn measly points by giving them a random notification.

Plaza member: @Tarawen

Plaza Member: @Sil

Aduchil: No worries. I was desperately trying to think of an "M" name and that was the first one to pop into my head.

Plaza Member: @Oro

Plaza Member: @Narv

Plaza member: @Boromir88

Plaza Member: @Reikon Suchi-ru seems kind of easy since the plaza autofills after you type the first letter....

@Baingíl Randír, bring squirrels!

Hey-o. Appears to have been summoned. Well, I'm always late to parties, but if there's another alliterations game afterwards, I may join in. Looks fun.

No shame, only points is my motto. Plaza member: @Red Daghul

I wasn't summoned but looks like fun! (Sorry, Turin!)

Winner of our first game: Almarëa Mordollwen!

Thanks everyone for playing. I'll start up a new game soon, but first, I would ask everyone who played (or is interested in playing) to vote for the future format of the game.
If you prefer the current incarnation with only one answer per player per round (making it a fast and easy game), please vote for one category.
If you prefer an expanded version where every player can answer several categories per round (requiring more effort but hopefully also more fun), please vote for multiple categories.

One category

And grats Alma! I wouldn't sleep if I were you!

Multiple categories!

I would enjoy either, but I will throw in a vote for at least trying multiple categories. :smiley8:

I vote for One Category, because I like games that don't require my constant attention the way this infant does.

I would like to hop in a join this game - though my head is a bit wooden, so lets see of I get it.

Just one category please and no elven languages.

I think I'm for one category as well, unless you somehow change the points system. Multiple categories could result in 2-3 people consistently getting all the first posts in all the categories.

Mhmmm ... would the scoring system be the same for the multiple categories? ... (well done, btw @Almarëa Mordollwen!)

I guess I'd have to see it in action before making a judgment on which I preferred, so I'm open to trying multiple categories.

Thanks for a fun game, Aduchil! Helping me refresh my lore.
And nicely done @Almarëa Mordollwen!

I am not opposed to trying a round of Multiple, but I think I do like the One Category.

I vote for One Category.

Although, I will keep playing either way. Thanks for the fun, Aduchil!

one category. <3

Alright, I think there's sufficient support for either game format that we'll just do both. I'll start up a new game (not just yet, but later) in this thread, keeping the one category format. The only change will be that I'll randomise when new rounds start, otherwise certain time zones will have too big an advantage on posting first.

Once I have figured out a good game format for multiple categories, I'll start a new thread with that. Obviously, people are welcome to play in either or both. And thanks everyone for playing so far!

New game, new round, same old rules, same handsome show runner! The letter is G. The categories are:

The name of a Dwarf
The name of a book character from The Hobbit
The name of a book character from LotR
A word in Sindarin
The Sindarin name of a geographical location

The name of a Dwarf: Gimli

The Sindarin name of a geographical location: Gorgoroth

The name of a book character from The Hobbit: Gloin

The name of a book character from LotR: Gorbag

A word in Sindarin: golas

The name of a book character from LotR: Gamgee
You suck! You didnt tell me a new game was up mister! Grrr

To avoid giving anyone an advantage, I am making no announcements about the game rounds except for here. =p Same as with the more randomised starts, to equalise time zones better.

Edit: Round is still open, btw. continue making your answers as you please.

A word in Sindarin: galadhrim

The name of a book character from LoTR: Gothmog

The Sindarin name of a geographical location: Gondolin
