Who Am I? (A Middle-earth Game)

[Menolly]

Welcome back to an old game! "Who Am I?" is similar to the game of 20 Questions, except that the answer is always a person or creature in Middle-earth.

How to Play

1. The first person with the correct answer gets to choose the next creature by stating one word which should describe the creature in some way.
2. The creature must be a conscious character, though not necessarily known to speak (for example, Old Man Willow is acceptable, but not a lily by the Withywindle). They must feature in Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, or The Silmarillion.
3. Each question must be about the character and must be in a form that can be answered “yes” or “no”. You cannot say “What race are they?” but you could say “Is this an elf?”. The person whose turn it is should number the questions so we can all keep track of what's been asked.
4. Post guesses (which are different from questions) in bold. The guesses are where you announce who the person is ("It’s Tom Bombadil"). Responses to guesses don't need to be numbered. You only have ONE guess per round! I'm not going to enforce this old rule; just be a considerate player and don't throw out a million guesses when you really need more clues.
5. If the person whose turn it is doesn't answer any questions for 48 hours, someone else can jump in and start a new round.

Example round:
"Is this an elf?"
1. No, this is not an elf
"Is this an Ent?"
2. No, this is not an Ent
"Is this Tom Bombadil?"
No, this isn’t Tom Bombadil

Did I make this thread because I've always enjoyed this game? Yes. Did I really make this thread because I found the banner on my computer and thought...ehhh, there's already a banner for it, why not? Also yes.

Clue: Gold

[Lúthien Tinúviel]

Is this person a human? :D

[Menolly]

1. No, this person is not a human

[Rivvy Elf]

Was it created by Melkor?

[Menolly]

You would make me do actual (albeit brief) research on what I thought was a fairly straightforward character.

2. Yes, it was created by Melkor

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Is this person an elf?

[Rivvy Elf]

Is it Glaurung the Golden?

[Menolly]

I am going to admit I had a different dragon in mind (Smaug with his golden hoard), but Glaurung the Golden fits far better with the original clue, sooooo...yes! Your turn @Rivvy Elf.

[Rivvy Elf]

Yay! Thanks Menolly! I had a feeling it could've been Smaug because you said you actually needed to look it up :P.

Clue: Flies

[Zôrzimril]

Is it a bird?

[Rivvy Elf]

1. Nope, not a bird

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Does this creature live in Mirkwood?

[Rivvy Elf]

2. Not in Mirkwood, no.

[Zôrzimril]

Was this creature human at one point?

[Rivvy Elf]

3. Depends on your definition of "human."

[Uruva]

Is this creature an Ainu?

[KingODuckingham]

If my definition of human is "anyone who lived a mortal life", is this a human?

[Rivvy Elf]

4. Probably not

5. Yes, at least appearances wise

[Dwim]

Did they serve Sauron?

[DEATH]

Is it Flies?

[Rivvy Elf]

6. Nope

Nope, not flies

[Silky Gooseness]

Is this one of the Istari?

[Rivvy Elf]

7. Nope, not one of the Istari

[Uruva]

Do they live in a forest?

[Rivvy Elf]

8. Not under normal circumstances no

[Thalionwen Hunigfolm]

9. Can this entity fly under their own power, where the definition of "fly under their own power" is leaving the surface of Middle Earth and experiencing sustained lift through the air without having fallen from a height, been sucked up by a tornado, or carried aloft by another entity?

Feeling the need to define the term "flies" here

[Lail]

10. Does this person wear a hat? (edit: I mean typically, please don't go scour books to check if they ever wear a hat)

[Lirimaer]

11. Is the meaning of 'flies' in this instance 'fleeing'?

[Rivvy Elf]

9. As far I as know, no.
10. Maybe if the sun is too strong, the person could plausibly wear a hat.
11. nope

[Thalionwen Hunigfolm]

12. Is the meaning of flies in this instance the insect?

[Rivvy Elf]

12. Yes

[Zôrzimril]

13. Is this someone who hated a particular kind of fly?

[Rivvy Elf]

13. Not sure about their opinion on flies.

[Uruva]

Is this person Farmer Maggot

[Rivvy Elf]

Yes! The floor is yours, Uruva

[Uruva]

Neat.

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Does this person have anything to do with the Silmarils?

[KingODuckingham]

Is this Bolg from the Hobbit movie?

[SidraLockel Eltoran]

Is it Simbelmynë - the white flowers of Rohan?

[Lúthien Tinúviel]

2.Does white refer to the colour of their hair?

[Uruva]

2. Not directly
3. No

Not Bolg or Simbelmynë

[KingODuckingham]
