:huh: Don't know if this will fly as a game. But I figured, O.K., if it doesn't fly, it will simply float to the bottom :)
There's so many names in Tolkein's books, so many called by more than one name. And then of course, you have the second language of Elvish thrown in. The idea is to come up with the character's (or place's) a.k.a.
So if I post Mount Doom the next person will post a.k.a. Orodruin.
If there's more than one a.k.a., there's a potential string of posts beginning with a.k.a. If you can't find a second or third a.k.a. begin the post with new string and the name

Let's start with a chestnut: Strider

a.k.a. The Elfstone!!!

(heheh..I get an Easy one!)

Sauron

:o Oh, Illu! Strider's got way more a.k.a.s than that. But O.K., you are the Breather of Life

Sauron a.k.a. The Abhorred
Illuvatar
May 17th,2003, 10:56 PM
Ooopss....okay...sowwy..I misunderstood:(..I thought all you wanted was one!! hehe

Okay..Strider ...aka...The Elfstone, a.k.a. Argorn son of Arathorn, a.k.a. Estel, a.k.a. Hope, a.k.a. Thorongil, a.k.a. Wingfoot!!!!

Better? lol

Now.....Sauron!

May 17th,2003, 10:59 PM
Ohhh......and I don't see that one listed for Sauron.......hmmmmm....

There are 2 others for him though.....;)
Amithrellas
May 17th,2003, 11:03 PM
Sorry! I knew that I wouldn't be able to explain properly!
Just thought of each person posting one aka leaving it to the next person to come up with another. Then, if there wasn't another, the next person could start a new name. Now all the easy-peasies are over lol

Back to
Sauron a.k.a The Abhorred

Illu breaking rules already?? Tut tut :trout: He won't get away with this.

a.k.a The Lord of the Rings
Illuvatar
May 17th,2003, 11:08 PM
Bzzzzzz........on both answers.........:p

'The Abhorred' is a meaning of one of his two other names....but not an alias.....
Amithrellas
May 17th,2003, 11:14 PM
wow! are we having buzzers? Fair enough notworthy

a.k.a. The Dark Power

Bzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Amithrellas
May 17th,2003, 11:24 PM
No!! Buzz-z-z-z back at ya :p

UT page 336 (in my volume)"I think that the Dark Power had desired from him nothing but the Ring"

And for the intimidated folks who might think of playing the game without Illu buzzin' them, there's still another aka for our ol' buddy Sauron (or pick a less contentious name...) roflmao roflmao roflmao
Illuvatar
May 17th,2003, 11:25 PM
Well...you said "aliases" correct?;)

*hint...you both are giving "titles" and "meanings" of his name...but not his other names....that is an alias...... yes?

btw if you don't want meanings, Hope is just translation of Estel is it not? :p

May 17th,2003, 11:52 PM

Sauron aka The Enemy

AKA applies to nicknames, not just names, so a term that is used to refer to a character counts, right Amithrellas?

May 20th,2003, 04:10 PM
I agree. There's so many of them, for all sorts of characters and places, that I thought this could be a fun game :blush:
