Okay, so if you've read and posted in the "You know you're obsessed when" thread, you'll probably have no trouble following this game.

Many, many years ago, Arsarniel and a friend were having fun emailing Obsession Lists back and forth, and began writing our own. Then, one day, inspiration struck.

When the smoke cleared away, the two friends had implanted in their minds an idea for a game... a game that would end up being the ultimate way to tell how much of a Ringer/Tolkienoholic/Tolkienite you truly are.

Then, just now, whilst reading the Obsession Test Challenge thread right here in this very forum, Arsarniel was struck with how many people were saying they might get higher scores with different questions. She then remembered this old game, and decided that the members might enjoy one huge, hopefully never-ending Obsession Test.

The rules are very simple:

I might start the game by posting "You sing LotR songs in the shower."
Then, the next person must post, and the post must consist of two things:
Guilty, or not Guilty, and another way to tell if you're obsessed, for the next person to plead Guilty or not Guilty to.

Simple.

I don't mind if you sift through the "You know you're obsessed when..." thread for some ideas, if you're feeling utterly un-inspired. I'd also like the encourage members to include stories about how they can plead guilty. This will give us all inspiration.

Are we ready?

You have had many LotR-inspired dreams.

You have made Lord of the Rings shaped pancakes, cookies, other foods?

You have had many LotR-inspired dreams. - Guilty! All the time, most of them involving me being Eowyn in some way or another. *laughs* I was also randomly in Hobbiton once. Ah, the fun.
You'd rather listen to Lord of the Rings soundtracks than to other music - Of course! Well, the problem is, I don't have the LotR soundtracks. But I'm saving up for them, and I hum LotR music all of the time anyway. I drive all of my friends/family nuts!
You have made Lord of the Rings shaped pancakes, cookies, other foods? - Um, no, I never thpught of that.

My question: You have tried to create your own one ring - actually make it yourself?
(Yes, I have, out of clay. It didn't turn out very well, so I gave up and bought a replica. Lol.)

Thank you for five-plus wonderful years of obsession, friendship and fun

You have had many LotR-inspired dreams. - I am soo guilty of that! In fact it was my dream that made me come up with my username and RPG character. Man, that is/was the best dream I have ever had. It still continues as a matter of fact

You'd rather listen to Lord of the Rings soundtracks than to other music? Guilty I have all the soundtracks and I listen to them all the time

You have made Lord of the Rings shaped pancakes, cookies, other foods? I tried to talk my dad into makeing a few things but I didn't win -_-

You have tried to create your own one ring - actually make it yourself? I've done that too >.< It didn't come out so good.

Ok My question: You know how to spell every name in the story and hate it when people spell or pronounce them wrong. (It's one of my pet peeves )

Guilty, guilty, oh, so guilty! I swear, I spent months training my dad to say "Boromir", not "Broromir" and "Saruman", not "Sourman".

(Oh, BTW, you don't have to answer guilty or not guilty to all the posts, just the one above you. It might get to be mighty confusing having to answer over 100 ways to tell if you're obsessed all in the same post! )

Your ears are trained to catch anything LotR related, even to hearing someone say "Frodo", or "Hobbit" from across a restaurant.

Guilty. REALLY guilty. In fact, I can pick up words in conversations like "habit" and "token" and hear Hobbit and Tolkien. It drives my friends insane

Hmmm...you change your AIM or MSN screen name daily and it always has something to do with LotR. (I'm way guilty - I change my name to a new quite from the script every day.)

_________________

Not guilty ^_^...Well not anymore at least, I rarely go on im services anymore

You've attempted to make lembas......Ive done this a few times...bt I made it in a jaffle maker so it turned out horrible, it was all smushy instead of crunchy. ewness all round.

^^ Guilty Guilty, though I added cinnimon because mine were a little dry -cries-

You have created LotR nicknames for teachers and friends i.e. He was acting like Sauron today

Actually no. I became a LOTR obsessed person this year. So I have never said to my teachers that you are Sauron something. In situation like that, I curse her(not outloud of course)

You have bought or thought of buying swords, bows, arrows that LOTR actors or actresses used it in the movie or similar ones.

Guilty to the thought of buying... Why O why must they be so expensive?

You go into spasms of anger when you see LotR placed in the Sci. Fi. section of a Book/Movie Rental Store.
(growl)

I wish I couldn't. Unfortunately, I don't own any *mutters*

You are able to quote huge quantities of the movies script, including any Elvish that occurs during that time?

(I can ^^)

Guilty, when I am bored I do that

You are really addicted when you tried to get your little brother a LOTR name when he was born..
(unfortunately it didn't work out..)

When you go to a library, you first search for Tolkien's books?
