That's cool.

FBB's computer won't let him post anymore, but BoP has been posting some of his songs in the 'I made a song' thread, maybe we can talk them into posting some more of his riddles through BoP.

Yupyupyup. Here's another:

None of my riddles are lasting any more. No hints on this one!!!

Menelvagor · 04-21-2002, 05:19 PM

Hooray! I got one! That puts me tied with you, Earniel!

Elf Girl · 04-21-2002, 05:22 PM

Elf Girl's: Small ceremony,
Thought, but wrong,
Then more was brought,
Ere sun's rays long.

Eärniel's: A guard in a dark place
A remnant of an old age
Has left name, has left face
Forever in a stony cage

So Eärniel, is it the statue at the crossroads?

TinuvielChild · 04-21-2002, 06:08 PM

i think Earniel already said no, 3 people have guessed that so far.

i've only guessed 4 correctly so far: BoP's Old Man Willow (which Tano got to first), the accursed eagle thingy (i had like 5 million hints on that one), Elf Girl's one just now, and Elf Girl's Denethor one which Menelvagor just guessed. k. this one i am making up on the spot and i think it is extremely easy:

A terror, a vision
One fallen commands
an army of giants
and unwilling hands.

oh and Elf Girl, i have no clue as to yours. Earniel, i'm giving up on posting my guesses for the moment, although i'm still trying to figure it out.

Elf Girl · 04-21-2002, 06:18 PM

Um. Ents? The battle of pellanor fields?

Frodo on the seeing seat at Amon Hen?

TinuvielChild · 04-21-2002, 06:30 PM

ok, maybe it's not so easy. both wrong!

*hint* "giants" are depending on your point of view.

Elf Girl · 04-21-2002, 06:31 PM

TC: The attack on Isengard?

Elf Girl · 04-21-2002, 06:43 PM

Sam's first view of a battle of Men against Men?

BeardofPants · 04-21-2002, 06:51 PM

Gandalf/Frodo's perspective from Orthanc?

PS I've nagged F.B.-B to write some more riddles, so hopefully I'll have some more to post then.

TinuvielChild · 04-21-2002, 07:23 PM

so far, none correct! wow, not as easy as i first thought. i guess i'm getting better at this!

Elf Girl · 04-21-2002, 07:38 PM

Isn't anyone going to try mine? *mournful look*

TC: Isengard?

TinuvielChild · 04-21-2002, 07:50 PM

Elf Girl: someone already guessed Isengard, so, nope. and yours is bloody HARD!!!! hintses for poor TinuvielChild?

Tanoliel · 04-21-2002, 08:04 PM

TC: (Terror, a vision etc) Is it Sharkey and the Scouring of the Shire? 'cause Sharkey was "fallen" and the men would be giant-ish to the hobbits...*smack* I need to stop justifying my guesses! Is it?
Elf Girl: yours IS bloody hard! I haven't the foggiest what it might refer to. Metaphorical or "real"? Hintses for the clever rascal who isn't feeling to clever right now...

-tano

Elf Girl · 04-22-2002, 08:42 AM

Not much of it is metaphorical. Hint: the "small ceremony" is what was thought but not true. *everyone elses alarm on the Moot goes off again* Will you please disable those things!

TinuvielChild · 04-22-2002, 12:51 PM

tano: the clever rascal may not be feeling very clever, but she is! yup, it was the Scouring of the Shire and Sharkey. and it's ok to rationalize your guesses, it means you actually thought about it and didn't just guess at random. more riddles people!

***Earniel*** · 04-22-2002, 03:38 PM

IEP!

You people are suffering from guessitis or what?!

Menelvagor STOP GUESSING! You're too bloody good!

Tanoliel, you clever rascal, you're closing in! I can feel your breath in my neck!

Elf Girl, your riddles are SO tough, you sure must enjoy seeing us toiling on solving them. nasssssty elvessssss

Two riddles in the running:Elf Girl's and mine

I haven't heard any correct answer to mine yet. Keep trying!

Elf Girl your riddle reminds me of Merry and Peppin smoking Saruman's store of Halfling's leaf at Isengard. Am I close?

Elf Girl · 04-22-2002, 04:51 PM

You're closer than the other guesses, but not close enough! Mwahahahahahahaha! I do like watching you toil over the riddles.

Menelvagor · 04-22-2002, 07:26 PM

Elf Girl: Frodo's 50th Birthday party, the one on the day he set out?
