Invitation to the game

[wiseheart]

This is a cross-post, so I apologize to everyone who gets to read it repeatedly.

The Tolkien Quiz Game will start on edhellondawards on May 1.

Since we realized that there won't be any Edhellond Awards in the foreseeable future - unless we gain some very enthusiastic new members with an awful *lot* of spare time - I sought a new purpose for the community.

The quiz will basically contain a number of Tolkien-related questions (10 or 12), posted every Monday to the community. People will have a week to seek out answers and post them in their comments - or not, whatever is their pleasure. It's not a contest, and the only things you can win are some harmless fun and perhaps the one or other trivia that was unknown to you before.

I'll post the answers - together with the new bunch of questions - on the next Monday, hopefully every week. We'll be playing this game for a year or even longer, so it's never late to join.

Everyone is welcome to try their luck.

Oooohh...

Hmmm, how long has it been since I've read Tolkien. Let me count the years ..

:-D

But I've recently re-watched the movies. Will that get my anywhere in this quiz?

Can't wait!

There will be some movie questions later on, yes, although the majority will be from The Books.

You're welcome to play. :)

The offer of help still stands and I love the chance to test my knowledge ;)

Thanks. I'll come back to you later on, when it comes to make up questions based on HoME and other more... esoteric stuff.

Thanks for the notice - it sounds like a lot of fun!

I hope so. With the total lack of competition and the fact that people can drop in and out the game whenever they want - or come back later and pick up where they left - I think it will be pure fun and nothing else. :)
