 Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2004 9:39 am Post subject: Acronyms Game |
 |
|
Credit for this must go to 'Gandalf the Grey' on TWC. The concept is a very simple one. You can choose an event, place, person or people from Lord of the Rings (books only), The Silmarillion, or The Hobbit. You provide the acronym for it, stating where it is and what it is. As with the trivia game the person who guesses correctly asks the next question, but if they have not posted after 24 hours the thread is then open for anyone to ask a question.
After much playing of this game on TWC it has been recognised that this game is difficult enough without the acronym not being something from the actual text of the books. So, for example, there is no phrase 'Frodo is stung by Shelob' actually in the books so, while an event from LotR, such a phrase would not be legitimate for use in this game (if that makes sense).
Examples:
LOTR place TFON
(The Falls of Nimrodel)
The Hobbit place TLHH
(The Last Homely House)
The Silmarillion person/people TSOF
(The Sons of Feanor)
LOTR event TBOTP
(The Battle of the Pelennor)
Please keep acronyms to a maximum of 5 letters.
Let the games begin! 
First acronym:
LOTR
person

Yes indeed, Thuriniel. Your turn. You have 24 hours to post something before the thread becomes open for anyone to post.  |

I don't know if you're right, Leila, not being a Silm girl myself, but you are kicking butt on the Trivia!!!
