The One Ring is pleased to announce a special trivia quiz competition with a prize of blister pack of the rare 'Gimli on dead Uruk-hai' miniature.

To enter, send a Personal Message to Dagorlad with the correct answers to the 10 questions listed below. The winner will be randomly selected from all the correct entries.

Entries close at midnight (GMT) on the 21st of June 2006. Entries received after this time will not be considered. The judges decision is final and only one entry per person, sorry.

Are you ready? Here are the questions...

  1. The following picture is an "artist's reconstruction" of a famous building from the movies. What building is it?
    [spoiler]Image[/spoiler]
  2. How many Might points does Merry have in the original rules (Fellowship of the Ring edition) of the Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game?
  3. How many poses of Frodo has Games Workshop released for the LOTR SBG?
  4. Name three of the taverns in the Shire.
  5. Who made the prophesy that the Witch King would "... not fall by the hand of man"?
  6. Who was the original designer of the rules for the Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game?
  7. Who was the founding member of the One Ring website.
  8. On the arrival of the Istari to Middle Earth, who was considered by Cirdan to be the greatest of the five and how did he acknowledge this.
  9. Where was Fatty Bolger and his band of rebels hiding when he was captured and taken to the Lockholes at Michel Delving?
  10. What is the Elvish name of the pass of Shelob's Lair, and what is its literal translation?

Entries are now closed. Thanks to everyone for participating.

Come on guys, so far we have a total of six entries.

The prize is a blister pack of Gimli on Dead Uruk-hai - you can't buy him in the shops anymore (currently fetching between £10-15 on eBay). So get your entries in before the 21st of June for a last chance to win this wonderful collector's item.

Hey Dagorlad,

Unfortunately, I think alot of people haven't seen it yet. I for one go straight to the forum, and I'm guessing a lot of others do as well, so they may have not seen the announcement on the home page.

Oh well.

I entered. Nice job Dagorlad. Kept me up all night looking for some of those answers.

And Kudos on starting the new Forum, a good idea!

@Everyone else: It's just for fun so take your best shot. I for one have no idea what the answer to number one is :?

Cheers

Please, no tips, it's an individual competition.
And even if you don't know all the answers for sure, you might be closer then you think! Keep on enterring my friends...

Hmmm, tips? That gives me an idea... I wonder how much tips are worth in Gold Coins? :lol:

I'M JUST KIDDING! :)

Besides, I wouldn't trust my own tips concerning this quiz. Hard stuff.

Thanks again and Potenza is right, you might get lucky.

Cheers

That was hard! But I think (and hope) that I got 'em all!
I wonder if Dagorlad is going to post the answers when all is said and done? I hope so...

The winner will be randomly selected from the 'most correct' entries. If no one gets all 10 answers correct, then the winner will be taken from those with 9 correct, or 8 correct, or whatever is the highest number of correct answers.
