Outlaw Feud: Lord of the Rings by 5 time champ [Game Over]

The Game Room
1

It is not a Feud about outlaws in The Lord of the Rings- it is a Feud about LotR not being hosted by Rebo. So it is an Outlaw Feud.
DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS

Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. Not the answer one of the Wise would necessarily give. Only answers that are “serious” will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.

Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 11:00 AM Central on Sunday, 01/18/09 whichever comes first.

(But I couldn’t enjoy it, really, due to the differences from the books and my imagination.)

Finally, a LotR feud easy enough for me to participate in! Thank you!

Oh, er, and it’s Palantir in the singular, so either “Where one of the Palantiri was located” or “Where a Palantir was located” :wink:

Overall, 3 movies: noble effort. On a per-movie basis, in order: Eru, noble, meh.

First answer to 1 was Glamdring, but I figure Sting will be the one everyone remembers how to spell =).

Thanks, I stand corrected- I struggled coming up with that question- thinking about the original tower they where placed in the Third Age and was inattentive to noun formation.

“Noodles, Ninnyhammer” I forgot to post my answers before checked the thread. Oh well, have fun.

Bonus answer: unfortunately RotK brings earlier noble efforts down to the Work of Mordor.
