Welcome back to an old favourite with a new twist! "Who, What or Where Am I?" is the same as our "Who Am I?" game, except this time we're including places and things.

How to Play:

1. The first person with the correct answer gets to choose the next character, thing or place by stating a one or two word clue which describes them or it in some way. Please also follow with "Who Am I?", "What Am I?", or "Where Am I?" so we know which category you're playing.
2. The character, thing or place must have appeared in The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, or The Silmarillion. If choosing a character, they must be a conscious character, though not necessarily known to speak (for example, Old Man Willow is acceptable, but not a lily by the Withywindle).
3. Each question must be about the character, thing, or place and must be in a form that can be answered “yes” or “no”. You cannot say “What race are they?” but you could say “Is this an elf?”. The person whose turn it is should number the questions so we can all keep track of what's been asked.
4. Guesses are where you announce who the character, thing or place is ("Is it Minas Tirith?"). Responses to guesses don't need to be numbered. You only have one guess per round! I'm not going to enforce this old rule; just be a considerate player and don't throw out a million guesses when you really need more clues.
5. If the person whose turn it is doesn't answer any questions for 48 hours, someone else can jump in and start a new round.

Example round:
Clue: Seven
Where Am I?

"Is this place mentioned in The Hobbit?"
1. No, this place is not mentioned in The Hobbit.
"Was this place built in the Third Age?"
2. No, this place was not built in the Third Age.
"Is this place Minas Tirith"
Yes, this place is Minas Tirith

A special thank you to Menolly for creating the original OP and banner, both of which I have edited slightly to suit the new format.

As @Balfur correctly guessed the last character in the previous thread, the first round is his! :goodbye:

You're up, Balfur!

Ooo! So much more options with the addition of What and Where.

Still, we dwarves stick to our habits. The clue, therefore, is: great.
And the question: Who am I?

Posted: **Thu Jul 16, 2020 1:02 pm**

Is this a dwarf then?

Posted: **Thu Jul 16, 2020 1:49 pm**

Should 'great' be understood metaphorically rather than literally? That is, they're a great person, or nicknamed 'the Great' because of their rulership etc. rather than 'great' being a descriptor of their physical size.

Posted: **Fri Jul 17, 2020 4:26 am**

Is this character considered to be good?

Posted: **Fri Jul 17, 2020 4:29 am**

Well, if he's not going to win any archery contests, I'll guess the other great captain of Doriath, is it Mablung?

Posted: **Fri Jul 17, 2020 9:10 pm**

Nor is he Mablung of Doriath

Is it Daeron?

OOC: Just so ya'll know, I guessed this first. Annelies edited her comment.

OOCOOC: Also, I edited my comment just now because some people don't know her as Annelies, only Arnyn. Regardless, I win. In your face Arnyn.

Posted: **Sat Jul 18, 2020 12:02 pm**

It is Daeron! The all-round great guy, he only betrayed Luthien like two times. Archetypical misunderstood musician and stuff.

@Arnyn , it's your turn.
@Ta'leus Shieldsong, I'm picking Nyn over you. Deal with it. (Like, whaddaya gonna do, drag me to the halls of injustice by my ear?)

Posted: **Sat Jul 18, 2020 1:05 pm**

I've always said you were a wise, wise Dwarf!

Who am I?

Posted: **Sat Jul 18, 2020 2:57 pm**
