Though I'm happy to say I recognized virtually all of the names once I saw them, so apparently there's still some knowledge of the series lurking around in my mind. Haven't read those books in nearly a decade, though.
Most of the names I remembered were either from the film or from the card game.

We are going to play the Lord of the Rings Trivia Game again. Soon.
It sounds like I'll win

We've played that?

Re: Basically I think we are judging by importance of role/status. The game judges by number.

It just registers every time the word is said. Tom Bombadil couldn't stop talking about the bitch.

I went and searched a bit, and yes, seems it does include the Appendices.
