Yes, and please do not hesitate. The only reason I usually answer most of the Trivia myself is that I don't want an interesting thread to die out as there hasn't been much players lately. So if you're interested do not hesitate!
I'll try Amon Rudh.
Yes, another pretty bauble to Thorin.

Maedhros in anguish and pain

What name did the Elves give to Varda
I'm foggy here, but I'll say Elbereth Gilthoniel? Hence the lametation to the stars?

Why did Bilbo have to let the Dwarves into the secret of his ring
Because he was obliged to put on the ring to save the dwarved from being captured by the spiders after their escape from their web.
Thorin gets the Pseudo-Silmaril for the correct answer.
How was Muzgash the Orc killed
How was Muzgash the Orc killed
Muzgash t'were the Orc that printed his name onto the head of a dwarf? And another dwarf killed him out of revenge? I'll say Thorin Oakenshield... It was that day that got him his last name, he used a part of a tree as a shield? (I remember reading it in the Appendices not so long ago...)
Can't blame me for trying
Can't blame me for trying
Nah! It was Azog who had written his name on the face of Thror which had triggered that fabled Dwaf and Goblin Ward. Azog was later killed by Dain. And I got Oakenshield as last name as when we were beaten back to the woods which grew near to the Gates of Moria I had hewed off a branch to use as another weapon and to beat off Attacks.
I know the answer but I'll wait a bit longer!

he was shot running for the gate in the Tower of Cirith Ungol
Keonvan has the correct answer and the pretty bauble.
During the battle over Frodo's mithril shirt, between Captain Gorbag's Orc Patrol from the Tower of the Moon and Captain Shagrat's Orc Tower Guards of Cirith Ungol, Orc Guard Muzgash was killed, along with Lagduf, were killed trying to excape through the gate of Cirith Ungol Muzgash, along with Lagduf, was killed trying to excape through the Tower's gate.

Yes it is Thorin, you get another Pseudo-Silmaril,
Find the Odd Man(?) Out: Uglúk, The Witck-King of Angmar, Shagrat, 'The Mouth of Sauron', Gorbag
Find the Odd Man(?) Out: Uglúk, The Witck-King of Angmar, Shagrat, 'The Mouth of Sauron', Gorbag
Is it the mouth of Sauron? He is the only man as far as I see that is not counting the living-dead Nazgul.
No, he belongs on the list. Try again.
i would have to say The Witch-King of Angmar, gut feeling.
No, he also belongs on the list. Try again.
then i will say ugluk for he was in the two towers.
shot in the dark.
shot in the dark.
Yeah I too think its Ugluk as he isn't a minion of Sauron but of Saruman. I think you're right Keonvan.
Yup, it was Ugluk who served Saruman, while all the others served Sauron. Keonvan gets the pretty bauble,

How many teeth did Gollum have

Golden_red gets the Pseudo-Silmaril for her correct answer.
Why did Niggle fall off his bicycle
Why did Niggle fall off his bicycle
I have read Roverrandom only once,two years ago, and I don't remember the story much so I'll say he fell because of fatigue.
Ooooh I should know this. I read 'leaf by Niggle' not too long ago. But I still can't remember... He was to get some stuff for the neighbour and his sick wife I think? And the road was wet from heavy rain? Oh well, that'll be my guess.
No, but here is a hint: He was in the afterlife when this happpened.
Another hint: It was about something he saw.
(See Tolkien the Illustrator and the discussion of today and yesterday for more info about this.)
(See Tolkien the Illustrator and the discussion of today and yesterday for more info about this.)
Okay, during his life Niggle wanted to paint a tree that he saw in his mind's eye, but he was always interrupted by his neighbors who wanted him to do something for them, including using part of his canvas to patch one of their roofs. So by the time Niggle died, he had only gotten around to completing the painting of but a single leaf. Then when he arrived in heaven and was touring it on a bicycle, he spotted something which made him fall off his bicycle. It was his completed three-dimentional tree in all its glory, that he had been failed to paint during his lifetime.
Get the story and read it, for JRR Tolkien wrote it ever so much better than my poor summary above. It can be found in The Tolkien Reader.
{b]What name was given to Aragorn when he served Ecthelion II

I'd say it was Thorongil!
I'd say Thorin is right and has the pretty bauble.
Where was the Last Homely House
Where was the Last Homely House
It's in Imladris. Or Rivendell. Or Kløvendal, as it is called in Norwegian. 
Amarië has the answer and the Pseudu-Silmaril.
Who betrayed Beren and Lúthien to Thingol
Who betrayed Beren and Lúthien to Thingol
The bard of Doriath; was is Daeros? Can't remember the exact name. I know that he was in love with Luthien.
It was Daeron, but that was close enough to get another pretty bauble for Thorin.
The Orc band that captured Merry and Pippin came from which three places
The Orc band that captured Merry and Pippin came from which three places
I think they came from Moria, Isengard and Mordor.
Correct again Thorin, a Pseudo-Silmaril is yours.
