6 Degrees of Separation

[Lindolirian]

Sure thing, that's how it's done!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Now...

Hador -> Galadriel

Anyway you want.

[Fingolfin II]

Hador ->Galdor ->Hurin ->Melian ->Galadriel

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

...you still got it right.

Your go. :)

[Fingolfin II]

Cool.

Here's an easy one-

Erestor -> Ingwë

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Erestor -> Elrond -> Galadriel -> Thingol -> Ingwë

[Fingolfin II]

You are, of course, correct.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Amarië -> Bergil

[Fingolfin II]

Amarië -> Finrod -> Galadriel -> Pippin -> Bergil

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Capital! http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon14.gif

[Fingolfin II]

Running out of words to say....so I'll just give you my question:

Vardamir -> Elfwine the Fair

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Vardamir -> Elros -> Elrond -> Éomer -> Elfwine the Fair

:p

[Fingolfin II]

You're up buddy (for the 50th time).

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

This one:

Fatty Bolger -> Manwë

Oooh...scary...

[Fingolfin II]

Fatty Bolger -> Frodo -> Elrond -> Eärendil -> Manwë

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

..but it's OK.

Yours again.

[Fingolfin II]

Cool, this is quite an easy one. Try the two guys with similar but weird names:

Orophin -> Oropher :p

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Orophin -> Frodo -> Celeborn -> Thranduil -> his father Oropher

[Fingolfin II]

...you're right.

Could have also been

Orophin -> Legolas -> Thranduil -> Oropher (I'm not sure if Legolas knew his grandfather).

Either way, you're up.

[Lindolirian]

My my, you two certainly had a good five hours of fun! :D And congrats to Nil on 1000+ posts he acquired in that time!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Anyway...

Vinyamar -> Vinyalondë

Use only persons. :p

P.S. Thanks, Lindo. Yes, that was fun. I'd love to do that again sometime. :)

[Firefoot]

Vinyamar -> Tar-Aldarion -> Círdan -> Tuor -> Vinyalondë

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your answer was in reverse, lass. Vinyamar was visited by Tuor.

But...I'll give the thread to you. :)

[Firefoot]

Whoops! Maybe I should wake up before answering these. ;)

Glóin -> Glaurung

You can't use Smaug - I don't know if he met Glaurung or not but you can't use him anyway.

[Thorongil]

Gloin -> Gimli -> Galadriel -> Melian -> Turin -> Glaurung

[Firefoot]

Perfect.

[Thorongil]

Beren Erchamion -> Bilbo Baggins.

[Firefoot]

Beren Erchamion -> Thingol -> Galadriel -> Frodo -> Bilbo Baggins

[Thorongil]

Yup.

[Firefoot]

Ghân-buri-Ghân -> Gothmog Lord of Balrogs

[The Perky Ent]

Ghân-buri-Ghân -> Theoden -> Gandalf -> Manwe -> Morgoth -> Gothmog?


This is my first time doing this so i have no clue if i did this right! It's fun trying though

[Firefoot]

Nice try, but you aren't supposed to use Gandalf, etc. because they know just about everybody.

[The Perky Ent]

Ok, let me try again!

Ghân-buri-Ghân -> Theoden -> Merry -> Frodo -> Sauron -> Gothmog?

[Firefoot]

Fewer people.

[The Perky Ent]

But i thought it was in 6?

[Firefoot]

YET ANOTHER NOTE: Ask for a maximum number of links to trace the difference between two characters. For instance, in the Frodo to Mauhur example you would have to figure it out using no more than 3 links.

Extra Note: Try not to use Gandalf, Saruman or Sauron if it can be helped. These people have a link to just about everybody.So maybe no one has really been following the rules for a while - no one is posting their maximum. So, in that case I would give it to you except that looking back Sauron is in the list too. Wait, now I'm confused... and getting Balrogs mixed up... So not fewer people, but different people, and the most is 4. Sorry for all the confusion!

[The Perky Ent]

Wait, how come Frodo to Mauhur (whoever that is) has to be in 3 moves, if its 6 degrees?

[Firefoot]

Maybe 6 degrees is just the name?

[The Perky Ent]

But still, why 3? why not 4 or 5 or 6?

[The Saucepan Man]

But still, why 3? why not 4 or 5 or 6? Because it could be done in three.

It is optional to set a maximum number of links. But, if the question-setter sets a maximum then it must be done in that number. Otherwise it can be done in up to 6 degrees (hence the name of the game).

But you used Sauron anyway, Perky.

How about:

Ghân-buri-Ghân -> Merry -> Glorfindel -> Ecthelion -> Gothmog.

[Firefoot]

That's what I was looking for. Your turn, Saucepan!

[The Saucepan Man]

Thank, Firefoot. :)

Radagast -> Azog

In three, please. And no Gandalf. :cool:

[Lindolirian]

Radagast-> Beorn-> Bolg-> Azog

[The Saucepan Man]

Perfect, Lindol. :)

You're up.

[Lindolirian]

Hey that was a good one, I had to think about it for a bit... eh bout 4-5 extra seconds that is ;)

Hirgon-> Adalgrim Took
Three separations or less and no Gandalf.

[The Perky Ent]

I think this is too much but...

Hirgon -> Theoden -> Pippin -> Adalgrim Took
?

[Fingolfin II]

I'm not sure if Pippin knew Adalgrim, so I'll go with:

Hirgon -> Theoden -> Merry -> Bilbo -> Adalgrim Took

[Lindolirian]

None of the above! I'm not counting Pippin as knowing Adalgrim since it never really says. There is one very small instance where one charcter passes by another, and it is a very hard thing to catch, which is precisely why I used this puzzle! ;)

[NightKnight]

Hirgon -> Merry -> Esmeralda Took -> Adalgrim Took

[Lindolirian]

Well I think for that to work, you would have to put in Hildigrim Took between Esmerelda and Adalgrim. In that case there's a quicker way, but there are still three hobbits invloved...The tricksy part comes from Hirgon.

[NightKnight]

Well, Esmeralda was Adalgrim's daughter, so I don't think we need her grandfather...

There is one very small instance where one charcter passes by another,

I suppose Pippin saw Hirgon somewhere, then.

Hirgon -> Pippin -> Paladin -> Adalgrim

[Lindolirian]

But Shadowfax paused in his stride, slowing to a walk, and then he lifted up his head and neighed. And out of the darkness the answering neigh of other horses came; and presently the thudding of hooves was heard and three riders swept up and passed like flying ghosts in the moon and vanished into the West. You are absolutely correct! Here Pippin and Gandalf were passed by the errand riders of Gondor, including Hirgon. You're up, NightKnight!

[NightKnight]

You tried to make it tricksy, did you?

Ingold -> Deagol

In 4 steps, no Gandalf etc.

[Lindolirian]

Oh yes, so verry tricksy, precious! :rolleyes:
Ingold-> Pippin-> Frodo-> Smeagol-> Deagol

[NightKnight]

Of course. :)

[Lindolirian]

Right-o! How bout this...

Master of Esgaroth-> Androg

[NightKnight]

Master of Esgaroth -> Bilbo -> Galadriel -> Melian -> Turin -> Androg

[Lindolirian]

Sure thing

[NightKnight]

Alright, try Aerin -> Bergil.

[Lindolirian]

Aerin-> Turin-> Melian-> Galadriel-> Pippin-> Bergil
Y'know maybe we should outlaw that Galadriel to Melian connection... it's becoming quite hackneyed.

[NightKnight]

Quite correct...
Interesting idea. But on the other hand, we could just use Thingol -> Galadriel instead.

[Lindolirian]

Perhaps Galadriel should be a slightly verboten connection like Gandalf and Sauron since she has so many connections. At least she should only be used in the easy ones... ;)

Léofa-> Túrin II

[NightKnight]

Léofa-> Walda -> Folca -> Folcwine -> (Folcred/Fastred ->) Túrin II

[Lindolirian]

Exactly.

[NightKnight]

Boar of Everholt -> Ugluk

This is seven degrees.

[Lindolirian]

Boar of Everholt-> Folca-> Folcwine->Fengel-> Thengel-> Theoden-> Merry-> Ugluk

[NightKnight]

I had Eomer, but sure. :)

[Lindolirian]

Mat Heathertoes-> Glorfindel
None of the Fellowship.

[NightKnight]

Mat Heathertoes -> Bill Ferny -> Bill the Pony -> Glorfindel

[Lindolirian]

Very nice, indeed.

[Lindolirian]

You must have forgotten about this thread... ;)

[NightKnight]

I had indeed, thanks for getting it up. :)

Gothmog -> Isildur

[Fingolfin II]

If you mean Gothmog the Balrog, then:

Gothmog -> Fingon -> Cirdan -> Isildur

[NightKnight]

Did Fingon meet Cirdan?

[Thorongil]

If he didn't:

Gothmog -> Fingon -> Gil-galad -> Isildur.

[NightKnight]

That's more like what I had.

[Firefoot]

Thorongil?

[Thorongil]

Oh, right.
Finrod -> Bergil

[Fingolfin II]

Finrod -> Galadriel -> Pippin -> Bergil

[Thorongil]

Sure.

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers. How about:

Oröme -> Elwing

[Thorongil]

Orome -> Thingol -> Luthien -> Dior -> Elwing

[Fingolfin II]

Yep.

[Thorongil]

Aule -> Beren Erchamion

[Lindolirian]

Aulë-> Mandos-> Beren Erchamion
and just in case Valar don't work...
Aulë-> Mahtan-> Fëanor-> Silmaril-> Beren Erchamion

[Thorongil]

Works fine.

[Lindolirian]

Mablung of the Heavy Hand-> Halbarad
No Galadriel or Ainur.

[Fingolfin II]

Mablung -> Silmaril -> Maglor -> Elrond -> Aragorn -> Halbarad

Can we use a Silmaril?

[NightKnight]

Mablung -> Thingol -> Finwë -> Fingon -> Gil-Galad -> Elrond -> Aragorn -> Halbarad

Just in case the Silmaril doesn't work.

[The Saucepan Man]

Just becasue we can't use Galadriel, it doesn't follow that we can't use her husband:

Mablung -> Thingol -> Celeborn -> Aragorn -> Halbarad

In one version, I seem to remember that Celeborn is referred to as a kinsman of Thingol.

[Fingolfin II]

And in the unlikely event that Thingol didn't meet Celeborn.....

Mablung -> Thingol -> Elmo -> Celeborn -> Arwen -> Halbarad

[Lindolirian]

Ah, and the Saucester finds the one! All of the others were very good, but his was the shortest, thus the best. Fire away!

[The Saucepan Man]

Thank you, Lindol. :)

Treebeard -> Smaug

No Hobbits and no Gandalf.

[Son of Númenor]

Treebeard-->Gimli-->Balin-->Smaug

Does that work?

[The Saucepan Man]

I'm going to be harsh here and say that the connection between Balin and Smaug is not close enough. :p

[Firefoot]

How about Treebeard -> Gimli -> Thorin -> Smaug?

[Morsul the Dark]

treebeard-gimli-gloin-bard-smaug?

[The Saucepan Man]

Perfect Morsul. :) That's the one that I had (although you could also have substituted Legolas and Thranduil for Gimli and Gloin).

Take it away ...

[Morsul the Dark]

lets try this one.......
i think this one should work
ulmo----tom bombadil

[Son of Númenor]

Ulmo-->Tuor-->Earendil-->Elrond-->Frodo-->Bombadil ?

It may be a stretch, but it's all I've got!

[Morsul the Dark]

since i dont know much about the first 2 ages i think that sounds right

my answer....

ulmo-melkos-balrog-gandalf-frodo-bombadil

so go ahead ill try to get a better handle on this for next time around

[Son of Númenor]

Well, your answer is correct except we aren't allowed to use Gandalf. Since I'm not sure if my own is correct, I will await a more knowledgeable mind to confirm or refute it (Saucepan Man, are you out there?).

[Morsul the Dark]

oh i missed that last bit on the first page sorry like i said im still learning about this so forgive me

PS i suppose you could use orc instead of gandalf?

[NightKnight]

Actually, as I see it, yours works fine, Son of Númenor. So I think you should continue.

[Son of Númenor]

Ecthelion of Gondolin --> Drogo Baggins

[NightKnight]

Ecthelion -> Tuor -> Eärendil -> Elrond -> Frodo -> Drogo

[Son of Númenor]

The Knight rode swiftly...

Take it away.

[NightKnight]

Freca -> Fingon

You're allowed to use one place.

[Lindolirian]

Freca-> Helm's Deep-> Aragorn-> Glorfindel-> Turgon-> Fingon

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

NightKnight... *poke*

[NightKnight]

Do we know Freca was in Helm's Deep? It's not what I had in mind.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Freca-> Meduseld-> Aragorn-> Glorfindel-> Turgon-> Fingon

[NightKnight]

Works fine. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Huan -> the Thrush in The Hobbit

Yes, I took it from OCO.

[NightKnight]

Huan -> Celegorm -> Maglor -> Elrond -> Bilbo -> Thrush

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Although Maglor and Huan may have met. :)

Oh, well. Yours again.

[NightKnight]

I know, I put in Celegorm just to be safe.

Gaffer Gamgee -> Garulf

[Thorongil]

Gaffer Gamgee -> Samwise Gamgee -> Aragorn -> Eomer -> Garulf

[NightKnight]

Sure. :)

[The Perky Ent]

...Thorongil...

[Thorongil]

Oh, sorry. I've been away for about a week.

Miriel Serindë -> Robin Smallburrow

[Firefoot]

Míriel Serindë -> Fëanor -> Galadriel -> Sam -> Robin Smallburrow

[Thorongil]

Exactly.

[Firefoot]

Denethor -> Mat Heathertoes

[Lindolirian]

Denethor-> Pippin-> Barliman Butterbur-> Mat Heathertoes

[Firefoot]

Yes.

[Lindolirian]

Mardil Voronwe-> Lindir

[Fingolfin II]

Mardil Voronwe -> Earnur -> King of the Nazgul -> Glorfindel -> Lindir

[Lindolirian]

Precisely. :)

[Lindolirian]

*Kersplat*
or in the vulgar tongue
*bump*

[Fingolfin II]

Bor -> Pippin

Two Elves only; no Galadriel or Ainur.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Bór -> Maglor -> Elrond -> Pippin

[Fingolfin II]

Correct.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Fingolfin -> Gwaihir

[Fingolfin II]

Fingolfin -> Maglor -> Elrond -> Bilbo -> Gwaihir

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Yours is the thread.

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers.

Ithilbor -> Elrond

No Ainur or Galadriel are allowed. Only one elf (besides Ithilbor and Elrond) and one half-elf are allowed.

[Bombadil]

Ithilbor--> Saeros--> Turin--> Tuor--> Earendil--> Elrond?

[Fingolfin II]

Exactly what I had in mind.

[Thorongil]

Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!
By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow,
By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us!
Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!

He's supposed to show up now, right?

[Bombadil]

Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow,
Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.
None has ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master:
His songs are stronger songs, and his feet are faster.

Hey dol! Merry dol! I forgot about this thread,
You need not scold Tom, nor strike him in the head!
So thorongil I thank you! For singing Tom's old song!
Hope my 6 degrees will please all who read along!

Ulmo -> Tom Bombadil

[The Perky Ent]

Hmm...well, I'll take a wack at it!


Ulmo -> Tuor -> Earendil -> Elrond -> Frodo -> Tom Bombadil


It's probably wrong, but I tried

[Bombadil]

Perfect says Tom!

[The Perky Ent]

Really? Wow! Thanks! Here's the next one

Celebrimbor -> Quickbeam

[Lindolirian]

Celebrimbor-> Elrond or Galadriel-> Pippin-> Bregalad

[The Perky Ent]

yup

[Lindolirian]

Aldarion-> Finrod Felagund

[Fingolfin II]

Aldarion -> Gil-galad -> Fingon -> Finrod

[Lindolirian]

Correct

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers,

Morwen of Lossarnach -> Maglor

[The Perky Ent]

Morwen of Lossarnach -> Theoden -> Merry -> Galadriel -> Maglor

[Fingolfin II]

Yes.

[The Perky Ent]

Whoo!


Faramir son of Ondoher -> Pippin

[NightKnight]

Faramir -> Ondoher -> Earnil -> Earnur -> Witch-King -> (Frodo ->) Pippin

I suppose Pippin "met" WK at Weathertop.

[The Perky Ent]

yup. The Witch King knew Pippin directly, as they met at Weathertop.

[NightKnight]

Gaffer Gamgee -> Ioreth

Only hobbitses.

[Encaitare]

Gaffer Gamgee --> Samwise Gamgee --> Pippin --> Ioreth

I figure Pippin is connected to Ioreth because they were in the Houses of the Healing at the same time.

[NightKnight]

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Your turn. :)

[Encaitare]

Ted Sandyman --> Morgoth

Enjoy!

[The Perky Ent]

Hmm


Ted Sandyman -> Sam -> Elrond -> Sauron -> Morgoth ?

[Morsul the Dark]

OR

Ted-Sam-Elrond-Glorfindel-Balrog-Morgoth

(You cant use Sauron according to the first post in this thread)

[NightKnight]

Or even shorter:

Ted -> Sam -> Glorfindel -> Thorondor -> Morgoth

[Encaitare]

They're all right but it's not what I had in mind. Think huge creepy-crawlies!

[Morsul the Dark]

ted-sam-shelob-shagrat-morgoth

[The Perky Ent]

or ted-sam-shelob-ungoliant-morgoth

[Encaitare]

You got it, Perky Ent! Go ahead!

[Encaitare]

*cough cough* ... anybody here?

[The Perky Ent]

ZzZzZzZzZzZz......uh...huh? Oh sorry! I was dosing off! Anyways, here's the next one:


Isildur ---> Arathorn

No elf kings, queens, lord etc, Sauron, or Gandalf.

[Firefoot]

Isildur -> Dead Men of Dunharrow -> Aragorn -> Arathorn (I'm assuming you mean Arathorn II...?)

[The Perky Ent]

Exactly what I had in mind! And yes, I did mean Arathorn II!

[Firefoot]

Lobelia -> The Warden at the Houses of Healing

No Hobbits.

[NightKnight]

Lobelia -> Ruffians -> Saruman -> Treebeard -> Aragorn -> Faramir -> Warden

[Firefoot]

There's a shorter way.

[The Perky Ent]

This probably doesn't work, but...

Lobelia -> Ruffians -> Saruman -> Theoden -> Eowyn -> Warden?

[Firefoot]

Yes!

[The Perky Ent]

Yay! Here's the next one:

Bilbo ---> Ungoliant

[Encaitare]

Bilbo --> Frodo --> Shelob --> Ungoliant

(Assuming hobbits are allowed for this one)

[The Perky Ent]

I'll take that!

[Encaitare]

Spiffy!

Next: Elros --> Finarfin

[Fingolfin II]

Elros -> Maglor -> Finarfin

[Joy]

Lobelia -> The Warden at the Houses of Healing - without Hobbits


I have even a better answer :D Lobelia -> Grima -> Théoden -> Aragorn -> Warden

[Encaitare]

Actually, that's shorter than what I thought of, Fingolfin II, so well done! Your turn!

(And that is a good one, Joy! Perhaps we could even take Theoden out, though, since Grima and Aragorn had met at the Golden Hall.)

[Fingolfin II]

Thanks.

How about-

Gwaihir -> Thorondor

No Gandalf or Galadriel ;).

[Firefoot]

Gwaihir -> Frodo -> Glorfindel -> Thorondor

[Fingolfin II]

Good stuff, Firefoot!

[Firefoot]

Erendis --> Ted Sandyman

[Fingolfin II]

Erendis -> Aldarion -> Cirdan -> Frodo -> Ted Sandyman

EDIT: Found a shorter way.

[Firefoot]

Good.

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers.

Caranthir -> Aerin

No Elves with any Teleri blood in them, or any Ainur.

[NightKnight]

Caranthir -> Turgon -> Hurin -> Turin -> Aerin

[Fingolfin II]

Correct.

[NightKnight]

Nice location. ;)

Fingon -> Theodwyn

[Encaitare]

There's probably a shorter way, but this is all I can come up with:

Fingon -> Gil-Galad -> Elrond -> Aragorn -> Eowyn -> Theodwyn

[NightKnight]

Yeah, I have a shorter way with only 3 people (plus the two you're connecting). Try to find it. ;)

[Fingolfin II]

Fingon -> Galadriel -> Eomer -> Theodwyn?

[NightKnight]

That was even shorter than I had, so you can go. :)

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers,

Finduilas (the Elf) -> Finduilas (Imrahil's sister)

[NightKnight]

Finduilas -> Orodreth -> Galadriel -> Faramir -> Finduilas

[Fingolfin II]

Right as usual :).

[NightKnight]

Thanks. I even think I asked for the same connection once. :p

Anyway...

Elladan -> Olwë

[Fingolfin II]

Really? I've got to be more careful next time, though it is pretty hard to catch ol' NightKnight out! Anyway-

Elladan -> Galadriel -> Feanor -> Olwe

[NightKnight]

Sure. :)

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers,

Nerdanel -> Folco Boffin

[Nanedhel]

Nerdanel -> Galadriel -> Frodo Baggins -> Folco Boffin

[Fingolfin II]

The thumb says it all.

[Nanedhel]

Amarië -> Arwen

[Fingolfin II]

Amarie -> Finrod -> Galadriel -> Arwen

[Nanedhel]

That looks good to me.

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers,

Angrim -> Mahtan

No Ainur or male Elves.

[NightKnight]

Angrim -> Gorlim -> Beren -> Luthien -> Galadriel -> Nerdanel

[Fingolfin II]

Works for me.

[NightKnight]

How nice. :)

Morgoth -> Frodo

Only elves (except Morgoth and Frodo).

[Encaitare]

Morgoth --> Fingolfin --> Galadriel --> Frodo

[NightKnight]

Sure. :)

[Encaitare]

Spiffy.

Lobelia --> Lothiriel

Easy. :)

[NightKnight]

Lobelia -> Frodo -> Eomer -> Lothiriel

[Encaitare]

But of course.

[NightKnight]

Adrahil -> Maglor

[Fingolfin II]

Adrahil -> Denethor -> Aragorn -> Elrond -> Maglor

[NightKnight]

Do we know that Adrahil and Denethor met? There's another way...

[Fingolfin II]

Just an assumption, since Denethor married Adrahil's daughter, but maybe this works better for you-

Adrahil -> Imrahil -> (Aragorn) -> Elrond -> Maglor?

[NightKnight]

Sure it does. :)

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers,

Try-

Turgon -> Targon

No Galadriel, Elrond or Celeborn.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Turgon (-> Tuor) -> Glorfindel -> Pippin -> Targon.

[Fingolfin II]

Whoa, better way then I had!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Fatty Bolger -> Elrond

No hobbitses. http://www.geocities.com/louis_martian/smilies/evil.gif

[Fingolfin II]

Fatty -> Nazgul -> Glorfindel -> Elrond?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I thought of linking him to the ruffians, but this is way better! :)

Take it!

[Fingolfin II]

Haha, cool.

Umm......

Turgon -> Targon

Bit different this time- No Elrond, Galadriel, Celeborn, Glorfindel or Pippin. Tricksy! ;)

[Firefoot]

There is probably a much shorter way, but...

Turgon -> Tuor -> Cirdan -> Frodo -> Faramir -> Beregond -> Targon

[Fingolfin II]

Try linking to a place (oh, by the way- no Maiar either :)).

[Lindolirian]

Turgon-> Glamdring-> (Rivendell?)*-> Merry-> Bergil-> Beregond-> Targon

*I originally had Sting here, but you said that a place would help, so...

[Fingolfin II]

Hmm....try another place. Not in Middle-Earth.

[Firefoot]

Turgon -> Middle-earth -> Targon. :D :rolleyes:

Turgon -> Tol Eressëa -> Frodo -> Minas Tirith (Can I use two places?) -> Targon?
Turgon -> Tol Eressëa -> Frodo -> Faramir -> Beregond -> Targon?

[Fingolfin II]

They're all right- the first is a bit cheeky, but the third is what I was thinking of.

You're up!

[Firefoot]

Tar-Aldarion -> Eöl.

[Robomir]

This is my first attempt in the quiz room so bear with me:

Tar-Aldarion->Gil-Galad->Fingon->Turgon->Maeglin->Eol

[Firefoot]

Welcome to the 'Downs and the Quiz Room!

That connection works for me - go ahead and set the next question. :)

[Robomir]

Right here goes

Hurin->Frodo

Sorry if this has already been there but i haven't read all 25 pages of this thread to know.

[NightKnight]

Hurin -> Turgon -> Maglor -> Elrond -> Frodo

[Robomir]

uh-oh my lack of knowledge is being highlighted im not sure who maglor was (a son of Feanor?). Its different to the way I was going but fire away coz it'll be right.

[NightKnight]

Yes, Maglor was the second oldest son of Fëanor, and when the brothers attacked the dwellings of Eärendil, Elwing and their people at the Mouth of Sirion, Elrond and Elros were captured, but Maglor took care of them. It's a quite usual connection in this game.

Gothmog -> Huan

One elf, and the rest humans. Oh, and Gothmog is the balrog.

[Lindolirian]

With one elf and the rest men, it goes:
Gothmog-> Ecthelion (of Gondolin)-> Tuor-> Rian-> Belegund-> Beren-> Huan
But I think it could be much shorter...;)
Gothmog-> (Morgoth->) Carcharoth-> Huan

[NightKnight]

The first one was the exact same one as I had. You're up.

I know it could be shorter, that's why I put in restrictions. :p

[Lindolirian]

Holman Greenhand-> Aranwë
No Ainur, Elrond, Galadriel or Celeborn.

[NightKnight]

Holman Greenhand -> Rose Greenhand -> Holman Cotton -> Tolman I Cotton -> Sam Gamgee -> Glorfindel -> Voronwë -> Aranwë

[Lindolirian]

There's a much shorter way.
Fewer hobbits! ;)

[Fingolfin II]

Holman -> The Gaffer -> Sam -> Glorfindel -> Voronwe -> Aranwe?

I vaguel recall The Gaffer saying he worked as an apprentice to some hobbit who sounded like Holman- hope I'm right :).

[Lindolirian]

So close! Your's is still just a bit too long.

[NightKnight]

Holman -> Sam -> Glorfindel -> Voronwe -> Aranwe

Just guessing Holman and Sam met.

Why have you changed your avatar? Your old one was a classic... :(
