Odd King/Queen Out

[The Perky Ent]

Well, this is just like any other O _ O. There's a list of different Kings and or Queens, and by guessing, you have to figure out which one is the odd one out. An example would be What is the Odd King Out?

Thranduil
Finwe
Feanor
Gil-Galad
Fingolfin
Dain


The answer would be Dain, because he's the only dwarf king in the batch! Get it? Good, because here's the first set:

Turgon
Ar-Pharazon
Thingol
Elessar
Morgoth

Have fun!

[Morsul the Dark]

morgoth is the only maia or valar

[The Perky Ent]

Melkor was a valar, and the strongest I might add. Anyway, no, you've got the wrong man (valar) ;) Keep 'em comming

[Morsul the Dark]

i knew it was melkor darn get those two confused
and melkor is my favorite valor as well

[Lyta_Underhill]

Ar-Pharazon is the only one whose name is in the Adunaic form? :D (Also the only one who ruled off the shores of traditional Middle Earth (Numenor)). Or, if I may be allowed to guess further, Elessar would be the only King who died a natural death, as Morgoth is cast into the void, and Thingol, Turgon and Ar-Pharazon killed in the sacking of their respective realms.

Cheers,
Lyta

[The Perky Ent]

...um...Morsul? Melkor and Morgoth are the same. Melkor is his name as a Ainur. Morgoth (Black Enemy) Bauglir (The Constrainer) is the name the elves gave him after he stole the simarils and went into middle earth. They are one in the same.

[The Perky Ent]

AR-Pharazon wasn't killed in his sacking. He caused it, but wasn't there. Never-the-less. You're wrong on all counts.

[Morsul the Dark]

then stop confusing me grr...ok now i understand im a high rookie when it comes to ME knowledge so anyway
elessar was the only one to control an army of dead folk?

[The Perky Ent]

nope.

[Lyta_Underhill]

AR-Pharazon wasn't killed in his sacking. He caused it, but wasn't there. Wow, what happened to Ar-Pharazon, then? He got to Aman and they said "go back!"? ;) (I do admit incomplete knowledge here!) Oh course, that means that perhaps the one who did not see the Blessed Land (Elessar) could be the odd one out...Morgoth, Turgon, Thingol, Ar-Pharazon would have all seen it then...

Cheers!
Lyta

[Morsul the Dark]

or it could be elessar as he is the only one to marry a person of another race

[Lyta_Underhill]

or it could be elessar as he is the only one to marry a person of another race Actually, Thingol (Elda) married Melian (Maia), so that would make two of them!

Cheers,
Lyta

[Morsul the Dark]

I don't like this thread lol it makes me feel dumb well at least you saved perky the time of telling me in wrong.

[Lyta_Underhill]

I don't like this thread lol it makes me feel dumb well at least you saved perky the time of telling me in wrong. Don't worry, Morsul! I often feel dumb in these threads; I just don't have the courage to play as often as you do! I'm just guessing really, and Eru help me if I get it right, 'cause I don't have a clue what I'd ask next!

Cheers,
Lyta (just having fun on a late Saturday night!)

[Morsul the Dark]

well thank you
I feel the same way I don't know what to ask if i get it right
Morgoth?
the only one to be evil?

[The Perky Ent]

There's a thread in...I believe it's the books that states what happens to Ar-Pharazon and his men. Some say he was killed, others say he fell into a everlasting sleep on the shores of Tuna. Anyways, yes, these are hard, but you learn a lot. Btw, all wrong so far. Here's a hint: Time will tell

[Lhunardawen]

This is the first time I'll ever post in the Quiz Room...

Elessar is the only one who was not around during the First Age.

[The Perky Ent]

really close, but no.

[Morsul the Dark]

elessar (aragorn correct?) was the only king at the beggining of an age

[The Perky Ent]

You're burning hot, inches from it, but not there!

[Morsul the Dark]

alright Ellessar the only king to live through the end of one age into another

[The Perky Ent]

Back it up. You were on the right track, but it looks like you just stopped at the gas station to ask for directions! Try again

[Morsul the Dark]

the only king whose crowning marked the beggining of a new age?

Checks road map he said take a right onto Bedrock where's Bedrock?

[The Perky Ent]

Close, but no. It's more general

Take a right turn al Albuquerky, then travel east for 10 miles. You'll see a sign saying "Bedrock in 20 3/4 mi"

[Morsul the Dark]

hes the only one in the fourth age?

[The Perky Ent]

You have reached your final destinaiton! Correct! your go!

[Morsul the Dark]

Melkor

Aragorn

Sauron

Super Duper easy

[Lhunardawen]

Aragorn is not a bad guy.

I could be wrong.

[Morsul the Dark]

:eek: how ever did u guess? :) go ahead

[Lhunardawen]

Wow! My first time to ask...ever! Here goes:

Elendil
Fingolfin
Gil-galad
Fingon

There are a lot of answers, but I just have one in mind. Guess away!

[Morsul the Dark]

eledil has a phial named after him thew light of elendil

[Lyta_Underhill]

Elendil
Fingolfin
Gil-galad
Fingon

I suppose one could say they are all related! But that wouldn't be an odd one out, would it? Fingolfin->Fingon->Gil-Galad (direct relations) and Fingolfin->Turgon->Idril->Earendil->Elros->lots of Numenorian kings->Elendil

Ok, it IS a crackpot answer, I know, but I had fun posting it! :D

Cheers!
Lyta

[Fingolfin II]

Morsul, that's the light of Earendil :p. I'll go for the obvious one and say it was Elendil because he was the only Man?

[Morsul the Dark]

I knew light elendil sounded wrong but i couldn'tfigure :rolleyes: out why hehe thanks

[The Perky Ent]

Fingon was the only one not killed by a "lord of darkness"

[Lhunardawen]

I'm sorry for being away for so long...

Fingolfin II, I knew that that answer would be too obvious, so no.

...And Perky Ent got it right! Your turn.

[The Perky Ent]

OK Here's the next:

Fingolfin
Elessar
Isildur
Ar-Pharazon


It's easy, I guess!

[Morsul the Dark]

fingolfin is the only one not in isildur's line

[Fingolfin II]

Elessar is the only King who ruled in times of peace?

[Gil-Galad]

Elessar was only name given to person, others were originals

[The Perky Ent]

Nyet!

[Morsul the Dark]

Ar-Pharazon


the only one to hhave their title in their name

[The Perky Ent]

Nope.

[Morsul the Dark]

fingolfin is the only elf

[Encaitare]

Fingolfin is the only one without Numenorean blood?

[Fingolfin II]

Elessar was the only one named after a Jewel?

[The Perky Ent]

No, No, and no.

[Morsul the Dark]

Ar-Pharazon

While looking at the names I started scrolling up and down and notice a Quote from Sauron to this man... This man is the only one Sauron talked to? :cool:

[Fingolfin II]

OK, how about a really obvious (and most likely wrong) guess- Fingolfin was the only one who lived in the First Age?

[The Perky Ent]

None are right so far. Here's a big hint: It has to do with where they've been.

[Evisse the Blue]

Fingolfin - the only one who's been to Beleriand?

[The Perky Ent]

Nope

[Morsul the Dark]

isildur was the only to have been in mordor?

[The Perky Ent]

Nope

[Morsul the Dark]

this answer is partially a joke but at the moment all i can think of I shall conitue pondering

Isildur was the only one to have been at the bottom of a lake (even if it was after he was shot by orcs) ;)

[The Perky Ent]

You're right!...just kidding. No, it's not. It's really obvious though. Just raise your perspective and you'll get it

[Morsul the Dark]

well I'm "raising my perspective" I'm not sure if that's a clue but I raised my perspective to the summit of a mountain and Isildur is there yes it is the crack of doom Isildur was the only king to go to the crack of doom?

[The Perky Ent]

No, but that was a hint. Here's another, raise your perspectives...more

[Evisse the Blue]

Fingolfin - the only one who's been to Valimar?

[The Perky Ent]

Nope. It hasn't anything to do with where they've been. It has to do with where they haven't been. Raise your perspectives!

[Morsul the Dark]

fingolfin has never been to minas tirith?

[The Perky Ent]

Nyet! Raise your perspectives!!!! take the hint ;)

[Morsul the Dark]

One would think mount doom is the highest you can go however by raising my perspective I'd be looking downbut that doesn't make sense either...

I'm broadening my ideas

Elleser had an evenSTAR
Isildur= lover of the MOON
Ar-pharazon cant find

but fingolfin- cloak of hair

fingolin has never been in the heavens metaphoricly or physicly

Don't know any places higher than mount doom

[The Perky Ent]

Yes, you would have to look down!!! That will take you to the right path. Anyways, thats wrong.

[Morsul the Dark]

Ah looking down..would I look down at hobbits? If so Shire and Bree come to mind...however If I continue looking down I get to the mines of moria Aragorn has been to all three of these places but who hasn't Fingolfin probably came from the Grey havens along the east road and Ar-P. may have been one of the first rangers so


Isildur has never been to the Shire

[The Perky Ent]

Look, here's another hint to help.

On the edge of the void, you can see it all

Does that help? And BTW, that's wrong.

[Morsul the Dark]

A void is a big empty place looking down you're on a cliff

Perhaps one the anduin which would make Fingolfin the odd one out...

THen again you could be looking into the paths of the dead but then there are two odd ones out...

Fingolfin has never been at the falls of rauros...or the anduin seeing that theyre both wrong it doesn't matter much

[The Perky Ent]

No! Look, here's another, just please take the hint!

From the clouds, a god sees all

[Morsul the Dark]

ok here is where i give unless everyone but elessar has ridden an eagle I have no idea

Ellesar was never in the sky he never rode an eagle

and regis that is my final answer

[The Perky Ent]

You got it right...sorta. The first part

Elessar never... That part is correct. The rest is wrong. Sorry, think about it, then try again.

[Morsul the Dark]

elesssar was never "in" a constilation

[The Perky Ent]

nope.

[Morsul the Dark]

...I'm sure it should be obvious but another clue would be nice...

[The Perky Ent]

It can't get easier than this. The hint is, thing continent.


Now you know what I mean by raise your perspective!

[Morsul the Dark]

Aragorn has never been to Rhun?

[NightKnight]

Elessar was never on more than one continent?

Fingolfin - Aman and ME
Isildur - Numenor and ME
Ar-Pharazon - Numenor and Aman

[The Perky Ent]

NightKnight got it...finally!

[NightKnight]

That wasn't too hard. ;)

Oh, crap, now I have to make a question.

Aragorn
Fingolfin
Fingon
Bard

[Morsul the Dark]

That wasn't too hard. ;)


quiet you :p

hmmmm Bard only one to kill a dragon? I think...

[NightKnight]

But it wasn't! :p

And nope, that's not it.

[Morsul the Dark]

was aragorn the only one not in the battle of five armies... Blast not having the Hobbit anymore

[The Perky Ent]

Bard was the only one to not confront a dark lord?

[NightKnight]

Morsul, both Fingolfin and Fingon we're dead at that time, and had been dead for thousands of years. ;) And Perks, you're wrong too.

[The Perky Ent]

Bard was the only one not to get married?

[Morsul the Dark]

Bard was only one not of long royal lineage

[NightKnight]

And how long was Fingolfin's royal lineage? ;) Both wrong! :p

[Morsul the Dark]

hmm...a hint?

and heres a random and wrong guess

Bard is the only one who's name ends in D

[NightKnight]

Very wrong, yes. ;)

Perks' last guess was on the right track.

[Morsul the Dark]

Aragorn only one to marry outside his race?

[NightKnight]

Nope.

[Morsul the Dark]

bard didnt marry some of royal blood?

[NightKnight]

Nope. And congrats on 1000 posts. :)

[Morsul the Dark]

Thank you....

Is it bard at all?

hmmm......BArd met Bilbo
Aragorn Met Frodo...
I doubt the other two met hobbits...

Bard is a title not his name?(I think that was his title I dont think it was his name) Must get the hobbit again too much information lost

[NightKnight]

Well, it has nothing to do with hobbits.

[Morsul the Dark]

hint perhaps?

[NightKnight]

More hints? :p

What happened afterwards?

[The Perky Ent]

Aragorn was the only one to live a long life after his fighting climax?

[Morsul the Dark]

well marriage was close...so If perky doesnt think Bard was married I'll say

Bard was the only one without children

[NightKnight]

Morsul, he did have children. And that is a BIG hint.

[Telchar]

Fingon is odd out because his son (Gil-Galad) did not inherit his kingdom, but established his own. As did the others: Aragorn / Eldarion - Bard / Bain - Fingolfin / Fingon ... maybe?

[NightKnight]

That's probably what I intended, I don't remember. It was a year ago, and my memory isn't that good...

You go on.

[Telchar]

OK here we go...


Hyarmendacil II
Goldwine
Turambar (King of Gondor)
Eomer
Calimehtar

[Bergil]

Hyarmendacil because Hyarmendacil is an alias. his real name was Vinyarion.

[Telchar]

Sorry no. It has nothing to do with names. Four of them has something in commen.

[Telchar]

HINT: Its family related

[Telchar]

Correct answer was: Everybody but Goldwine lost their father in battle... :cool:

Im going away for a week (to lovely Spain), and won't be back until next monday, so anybody can continue this thread :)

[Hiriel]

Yay for lovely Spain. I'll pick up the thread, then.

Beleg
Barahir
Boromir II
Isildur

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Beleg was mighty, but no king !

(only Isildur was, the others was chieftans or a steward! This to could be an answer, but I think not) :)

[Hiriel]

Eep. Put the question on the wrong thread. Lo siento. So, new list:

Isildur
Gil-Galad
Aragorn
Aldor

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Gil-Galad is the only elven one !

(I know it is too simpel, but it was just to get us startet) :D

[Hiriel]

Simple? Yes. Right? No. Good try, though, Rune.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Aldor is the only one who is not a descendant from Finwë ?

[Hiriel]

That's it exactly. Your thread, Rune.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Fréaláf
Elessar (Aragorn)
Bard I
Fingon

it should not be that hard ;)

[Telchar]

Fingon - the only one to succeed his father?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thats what I was thinking about. all yours

[Telchar]

Elendil
Valandil
Isildur
Meneldil

Three of the have something i common which the fourth lacks.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The 3 of them all have names that ends with dil ! ;)

or maybe(if I was to be a bit more serius)

Elendil
Valandil
Isildur

Was all born in Númenor.

[Telchar]

The serious part of your answer is incorrect - but VERY close!

[NightKnight]

They all escaped from the destruction of Numenor?

[Eonwe]

I'll go with

Isildur
Meneldil
Elendil

all were born in numenor. (according to my book, valandil was born in imladris.)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

(according to my book, valandil was born in imladris.)
Both of our souces can be correct, I belive you are thinking of Valandil; the fourth son of Isildur who was left in Imladris and I was thinking of Valandil the eldest son of Lady Silmariën. (daughter of king Tar-Elendil)

[Telchar]

Eonwe - you are correct, please continue.
Rune - How can Valandil, 1st lord of Andúnië be relevant for this thread? He was never niether King nor Queen anywhere. ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

:o That is one of the most embarressing moments in my time amongst the dead !

I guess it was because he was of royal blood that I did not think of it !

[Eonwe]

crap, i guess that means i have to think up one, right? um...sorry this might take a while...
