Questions, and the posters who posed them, so you know who to kill, plus pending possibly-correct answers. “Who should we talk to about all these darned elves that need killin’?” - Ethilrist’s. “He had a remarkable love…” - DaphneBlack’s - possible answers **erislover** , **Westley**. “If you were just starting out and wanted help building leadership skills, who would you talk to?” - Ethilrist’s. “I was just strolling along a street in Liepzieg and, suddenly, I smelled smoke! It was me!” - 5-4-fighting’s. “Who would I talk to about Hitchhiker’s Guide trivia, mostly?” - CandidGamera’s. Not **FordPrefect**. “When the common man is done hallucinating, they realize this is the actual successor to Elizabeth.” - 5-4-fighting’s. Possibly **RealityChuck**. ---

“Who should we talk to about all these darned elves that need killin’?” > [@Earthworm Jim](#): > > **Sauron** Technically, not the answer I was looking for (not specific enough, and that wasn’t Sauron’s motivation), but that one does work, too. Still waiting for the LOTR fanatics to see this one… **Ghanima:** “If you were just starting out and wanted help building leadership skills, who would you talk to?” **AskNott**?? Its kind of obscure… Nope. More obscure than that, I’m afraid. ---
