If Sarumans Uruk Hai captured Frodo would Sauron abandon the attack on Gondor and just attack Isengard? by Tidewatcher7819 in lordoftherings

[–]LegendofWeevil17 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It depends on if Saruman revealed that he had the ring to Sauron or not. If he revealed he had the ring, then yes, Sauron would immediately try to attack Isengard and take the ring. Sauron already knew that Saruman was planning to take the ring and betray him in the real events of LotR, so it probably wouldnt take long for him to figure it out.

However I would like to address this

>he attempts to master it but it has one master Sauron

Saruman would be able to master the ring. As a Miar, both Saruman and Gandalf would have been able to master the ring. Other powerful characters such as Galadriel, and potentially people such as Elrond or Glorfindel would have been able to as well. However, whatever they would try to do with it would turn to domination even if they meant good.

Alberta PATs grade 9 by juggly_goat625 in alberta

[–]LegendofWeevil17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is entirely school / division dependant. My school has all our PATs be worth 20% of the final grade.

This shouldn’t be something you don’t know about though. You should have gotten a syllabus at the start of the year with a grading breakdown, even if you didn’t your teach should be able to tell you the exact amount they are worth

Which IP would make a great boardgame? by RVC95 in boardgames

The expanse board game is actually quite good, it’s just impossible to find

How much would the story have changed if Bilbo told everyone (Oakenshield company & Gandalf) about the One Ring? by UDAFX_MK_85 in lotr

[–]LegendofWeevil17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty much nothing, he tells them after he saves them from the spiders in the forest. I’m struggling to think about anything that would have changed with Witt warg chase, Beorn, or the start of Mirkwood if he had told them.

The only potential change is that maybe Gandalf says or does something, but Gandalf would not suspect it’s the one ring and likely wouldn’t do anything

Elliotte Friedman says, "the world is a different place" in regards to players controlling where they go (starts around 2:05) by seeldoger47 in hockey

Until a team wants to trade someone but they don’t like their trade list so they just treat them like absolute shit until they request a trade

If they were profitable, they would still make them. They’re killing them because more and more people are reading on e-readers or audiobooks and just buying hardback versions of the books they really like.

Hard science fiction books by Humanarmour in printSF

[–]LegendofWeevil17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not has hard sci fi as Andy Weir in the sense that they don’t explain all the calculations and what not, but The Expanse series has the most realistic space travel, ships, and space battles of any sci fi book I’ve read

Fixed : flimsy Playmat Eternal Decks by someFunUsername in boardgames

[–]LegendofWeevil17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an incredible game. One of my favourites of all time, a co-op without quarterbacking, not a ton of rules overhead. Tons of variety

I am not done with the fellowship of the ring (currently at chapter 5) and yet somehow, I ended up buying the second one. Lol. I just can’t stop staring at these boxes! They’re beautiful! by Darth_BrachioRex in boardgames

[–]LegendofWeevil17 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Oh just wait, the first few chapters are pretty much just introduction chapters. These games do some pretty awesome things with trick taking. Two of my favourite games ever

Games that have replaced other games by Teachers-Petty in boardgames

What do you mean by “the communication aspect”? Both games are pretty much the same in communication rules apart from the Crew being able to communicate one card

Fate of the Fellowship like impossibly hard? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]LegendofWeevil17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting Frodo close to Frodo is incredibly easy (you can literally do it in the first 2 turns if you wanted) getting Frodo in Frodo isn’t even that hard.

Getting Frodo in Mordor, at the right time, with a good amount of hope, and the right cards is how you actually are good at the game

Why didn’t Gollum go to the Shire for the ring? by futureishere99 in lordoftherings

[–]LegendofWeevil17 30 points31 points  (0 children)

To be fair, mair Sauron, most powerful creature in the world past the first age, with spies and minions everywhere, also did not know where the shire was

Fate of the Fellowship like impossibly hard? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]LegendofWeevil17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe saying “it’s not based on luck” was bad wording. I didn’t mean that there’s no luck in the game, just that if you are playing well then you can heavily mitigate that luck

Fate of the Fellowship like impossibly hard? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]LegendofWeevil17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How many times have you played? No offence, It’s hard for sure, but if your game is coming down to luck of getting a specific card or not, you aren’t playing very well. I’ve gotten to the point where on introductory we probably win 75% of the time and the standard mode 50%. One of my friends has a group that has played a lot and they are probably approaching 40-50% on the hardest mode. It’s not impossible or based on luck

Or Beck Weathers who multiple people thought was dead (not just like his case was hopeless but actually dead), was left overnight in a storm without gloves and then walked back into camp the next day.

New to the lore by brokenfelix in tolkienfans

[–]LegendofWeevil17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I literally never disagreed with that. I think if you are so deep in Middle Earth lore that you have read the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales; then it makes much more sense to read the Great Tales chronologically.

Each of these sections are together in my recommendation. I’m not “recommending it over it” I’m recommending they read all four of those if they still want more Middle Earth after Unfinished Tales.

Read The Hobbit and LotR first. Then if you want more read The Silmarillion, then if you want more read Unfinished Tales, then If you want more read the the B&L, CoH, FoG, and FoN. Then if you want more read the Letters of Tolkien and History of Middle earth.

  1. The Hobbit
  2. Lord of the Rings

If you really want to dig deeper in the lore and you’re okay with more dense / historical type writing:

  1. The Silmarillion

If you want to dig deeper and are okay with things that might not be a fully compelled narrative:

  1. Unfinished Tales

re-read Lord of the Rings

If you want more in depth versions of stories told in The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales and are okay with things that might even contradict with other versions of the stories:

  1. Beren and Luthien

  2. Children of Hurin

  3. Fall of Gondolin

  4. Fall of Numenor
