I will post a letter and several categories. The game is to find an alliterative answer that fits one of the categories.

Example! The letter of the round is M. The categories are:
Member of the Fellowship
Hobbits
Geography

Person A posts “Member of the Fellowship: Merry”, earning 3 points.
Person B posts “Member of the Fellowship: Pippin”, because they didn't use alliteration they don’t earn a point.
Person C posts “Hobbits: Merry”, because someone already used that answer they don't get a point.
Person D posts “Geography: Mordor”, and they earn 3 points as first in the category.
Person E posts “Geography: Moria”, and earn 2 points as second in the category.
Person F posts “Geography: Menegroth”, and they earn 1 point, being third.
Person G posts “Geography: Mirkwood”, and they also earn 1 point.

Open to all
Multiple people can score in the same category, but the earlier post, the more points.
You can only post 1 answer per round.
A given answer is only valid once, regardless of whether it fits more categories.
All answers must begin with the letter of the round.
You may delete and post a new answer if you need to, as long as the round is open.
First to answer correctly in a category earns 3 points. Second earns 2 points. All others earn 1 point.
I will keep a running tally of points from round to round.
A round will usually conclude within 24 hours. A new round starts when I feel up to it.

The name of an Elf from Silmarillion
The name of a Noldorin Elf
The name of a Dwarf
The name of a human
The name of a hobbit

Elf, any: Finarfin

The name of a human: Faramir

The name of a Dwarf: Fili

The name of a hobbit: Frodo

@Aduchil, I may be mistaken but I believe my answer to the last round should have been worth 2 points!

The name of a Dwarf: Fundin

Ah, correct. Think I confused myself with two hobbit categories. Thanks for the correction.

If the name appears in the Silmarillion, and it is an Elf, then language is irrelevant. Theoretically I would even accept something like "Strongbow", if the letter was S, as that can be considered a name for Beleg.

I consider a shortened nickname to be the same name as the full version. So the first person to say either Meriadoc or Merry would get point (using either form is fine). But if the first person said Meriadoc, and a second person said Merry, the second person would not get any points. I hope that's clear, else I can elaborate further.

Silmarillion Elf and Noldorin Elf Finwë

Round closed! I have decided we'll play 5 rounds and that'll conclude the game, though another game will commence soon after, possibly with rule changes. Current points:

Aerlinn: 8
Almarëa: 9
Arothir: 2
Dimcairien: 8
Dincairwen: 2
Dis: 1
Dwim: 4
Elvheimdros: 6
KingoDuckingham: 7
Lailyn: 4
Lirimaer: 8
Sil: 4
Tarawen: 8
Winddancer: 8

Round 4! The letter is M. To clarify, a character means a person appearing in the books. A character (or location etc.) can only score once, even if they have multiple names that fit. The categories:

The name of a Numenorean-in-Exile character (people from Gondor or Arnor)
The name of a Telerin Elf character
The name of an Ainu character
The Elven name of a geographical location
Any name NOT in an Elven language

The Elven name of a geographical location: Mithrim

The name of an Ainu character: Melkor

The Elven name of a geographical location: Mithlond

@Aduchil looks like you missed my contribution, or you decided Faramir was not a good answer. :(

Any name NOT in an Elven language: Meriadoc

The name of a Telerin Elf character: Maeglin (half of his heritage, anyway)

Any name NOT in an Elven language: Morwen

The name of an Ainu character: Manwë

The name of a Numenorean-in-Exile character: Meneldil
