Connections

[Gil-Galad]

this game is really easy to understand
you write two names down and you have to give a connection from book OR movieit can be differences, silmarities, anything that they have in common!If they still don't get it, then narrow it down more

[Sindae]

arod?

[NightKnight]

Eomer - Arod

[Gil-Galad]

Hint: something Legolas did with the horse that is different then the others

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Legolas->Paths of the Dead->Arod?

[Gil-Galad]

nope need another hint?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Absolutely! Preach it...or just give us the clue... smilies/biggrin.gif

[Telchar]

Legolas -- rode without saddel on -- arod -- from rohan ?

[Theron Bugtussle]

Perhaps a clarification of the rules would be in order?

[Gil-Galad]

Telchar has it!!!

[Telchar]

OK - I'll start with a simpel one to give this game a chance.


Gandalf --> X <--Turgon


And on a sidenote to all of you, but mostely to Gil-galad: The question before was ridiculous! There can be a great deal of connections between Legolas and Rohan*. I belive it would be a good idea, to try to post questions that has an answer, opposed to posting questions where you want those answering to guess what you think the answer is (or want it to be).


* Some possible connections between Legolas and Rohan:

He were in Rohan
He fought for Rohan
He rode a horse from Rohan
He made friends in Rohan
He met the king of Rohan
etc . etc. ... there a ALOT.

The fact that he rode without saddel is NOT a connection between him and Rohan but a connection between him and horses in general.

Similar would be to ask what the connecton between Frodo and Gandalf was, and then keep people guessing until they found out that you wanted someone to guess that: They both liked watching Bilbo blowing smokerings in hiss garden...

... sorry I had to get that out! smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Gil-Galad]

well.. i was about to change my rules to that if people don't get it, try too narrow it down more specifically, and for your question

Gandalf and Turgon both used the same sword, Glamdring

[The Saucepan Man]

Some possible connections between Legolas and Rohan

Except that Gil-Galad asked for a connection between Legolas and a horse of Rohan.

It is quite often the case, in many of the games here, that there are a number of possible answers to a question.

There are a number of possible connections between Gandalf and Turgon too, such as they both ended up in Valinor or they both benefitted from the service of Eagles. smilies/tongue.gif

Although I suspect that Gil-Galad has the correct answer. smilies/smile.gif

[Gil-Galad]

thanks for backing me up... kinda...i am in your debt, Sacuepan...

[Telchar]

Except that Gil-Galad asked for a connection between Legolas and a horse of Rohan.


Sorry, I'll just have to remind you Saucepan Man that Gil-galad have edited his question post twice, first the day after the original question was posted and then again 3 days after that.
The original question was af far as I remember it: Legolas -> Rohan.
Im sorry for not noticing that - I usually dont reread the whole thread every time I enter it.

Secondly, alot of people ended up in Valinor and alot of people had servitude of the eagles, and though they both are valid connections between G and T, then only two people carried Glamdring - which of course is why Gil-galad is correct, and can continue.

Cheers T

[Gil-Galad]

for your information Telchar, the two edits you see were me adding on to the rules, i started with Legolas-------------------------------Horse of Rohan

[The Saucepan Man]

OK. Enough discussion. On with the game. Gil-Galad, it's your turn, I believe ...

[Gil-Galad]

Thengel-------------------Echthelion II(the steward)

[Telchar]

Thorongil did service for both ?

[Gil-Galad]

Telchar is correct!

[Telchar]

Valandil ----- Aragorn

[Gil-Galad]

they were both raised by Elrond

[Telchar]

Yup! smilies/smile.gif

[Gil-Galad]

heh i thought of it in the shower...


Aragorn------Imrahil

[Telchar]

They both had elvish blod in their veins?

[Gil-Galad]

correct!, or clsoe enough my answer was that Legolas both saw them with elvish blood, but you can go!

[Telchar]

Elrond - Aldarion

[Gil-Galad]

hint?

[Telchar]

HINT: It has to do with a third person

[Gil-Galad]

both related to aragorn?

[Finwe]

They both met, and were friends with, Gil-galad?

[Telchar]

Yes of course smilies/smile.gif - go on finwe

[Gil-Galad]

*bump* finwe

[Finwe]

Ah, ok.


Hurin --> Fëanor

[Telchar]

They both met Turgon?

[Gil-Galad]

they both were over come by balrogs?

[Finwe]

Nope.

[Telchar]

They both cursed Morgoth

[Finwe]

You're on the right track.

[Heni]

Both prisoners in Angband? Captured by Morgoth?

[Finwe]

Oooh.... very close with that second guess.

[Em]

Ignoring the fact that Heni came very close, i think i may have found a connection:
Hurin called Thalion the steadfast, the strong, son of Galdor, husband of Moewen and father of Turin and Nienor; lord of Dor-lomin, vassel of Fingon-
Fingon, the eldest son of Fingolfin-
Fingolfin, half brother of Feanor.
i'm not exactly sure how this game works, but if you don't beieve me, look in the index of The silmarillion, pages 396 and 404.

[Finwe]

Nope. Sorry. I'll give you guys a BIG hint.

HINT: Curses.

[NightKnight]

Their families were cursed?

[Finwe]

RIGHT!!!!!! It's NightKnight's turn!

[NightKnight]

Whoops, that means I have to come up with something...:P

Galathil -------- Beren

[Ruitha]

Their children were married?

Sorry, I'm new to this, not sure if that counts as something in common or not. smilies/wink.gif

[Finwe]

Their children married each other.

[NightKnight]

That was what I was looking for...please go on. smilies/smile.gif

[Finwe]

Hmmm...


Finarfin -> Arwen

[Gil-Galad]

they both didn't go on a journey across teh sea?

[The Saucepan Man]

OK, I'll go for the obvious. Finarfin's daughter was Arwen's grandmother (making Finarfin Arwen's great grandfather, I suppose).

[Finwe]

Haha! Nice try, Saucy. Unfortunately, that isn't the answer.


HINT: It has to do with something they did, or didn't do. smilies/wink.gif

[Gil-Galad]

They both refused to journey across the great sea, or go with their relatives to battle

[Finwe]

You're on the right track with your second guess.

[NightKnight]

Neither followed their brothers over the Sea?

[Gil-Galad]

both of their fathers fought aganest the dark lord

[Finwe]

Nope. I'll give you a hint:


HINT: It has to do with their fates.

[Gil-Galad]

They both died a mortal way..?

[Finwe]

Nope.

[Heni]

Ok...I`m taking a guess.

Finarfin stayed in Valinor when his half-brother Fëanor led the host of Noldor back to Middle-Earth, and became King for those Noldor who remained also with Finarfin.

Arwen stayed in Middle Earth instead of taking the ships to Valinor, and became Queen of the Reunited Kingdom.

[Finwe]

Nope.

The person who came the closest was NightKnight, with that "brothers" guess. Hold onto that thought, and look at my last hint.

[NightKnight]

They chose a different fate than their brothers?

[Finwe]

Right! Your go.

[NightKnight]

Gandalf --- Glorfindel

[Finwe]

They both died fighting a Balrog, so that their companions could escape to safety, and then were "sent back" to help fight against Sauron.

[NightKnight]

Wow, that one was better than mine. smilies/eek.gif My connection was that both of them threw down a balrog from a mountain, but you can continue. smilies/smile.gif

[Finwe]

smilies/biggrin.gif

Erendis and Anairë.

[Ruitha]

Okay, no-one seems to have attempted this, so I'll take a guess. Both were separated from their husbands when they (the husbands) went away over the Sea?
Ah no, wait, Fingolfin went over mountains ... sooo ... when their husbands went to Middle-earth?

[Finwe]

That is very true, but not the answer that I'm looking for.

[Lalaith]

Their daughters were both tomboys?

[Finwe]

Close. Very close.

[Lalaith]

Both they and their daughters seperated from their husbands?

[Ruitha]

Both had daughters that married against their will?

[Finwe]

Nope.

[Thorongil]

Both their daughters married people they didn't like.

[Finwe]

Nope.


HINT: It's about their daughters themselves.

[Burzdol]

They dissaproved of marrage?

[Finwe]

Nope. I'll repeat it, it has to do with their daughters themselves, marriage involves another person.

[Thorongil]

Both their daughters lived separately from their mothers?

[Ruitha]

Both their daughters were quite wilful - they made their own decisions, etc...?

[Finwe]

Ruitha has it!

Your go.

[Ruitha]

Okay ... Finduilas, of Dol Amroth, and Aredhel.

[Gil-Galad]

Both married a lord of Gondor?

[Ruitha]

No...

[Gil-Galad]

Both had elvish blood in them?
Both were decendents from lords of Dol Amroth?

[legolasfreak]

Legolas rode a horse from Rohan.

[Ruitha]

No ... I'm thinking of Aredhel as in a Noldo who lived in the First Age, the sister of Fingon and Turgon, Gil-galad. smilies/wink.gif

[Finwe]

They both married bold, masterful men, and were eventually (directly or indirectly) killed by them.

Aredhel --> the poisoned dart flung by Eol
Finduilas --> when darkness began to "contaminate" Denethor, she sensed it, and began to "fade."

[Ruitha]

Close, but not quite what I'm looking for...

[Finwe]

Both of their kids had weird relationships with their fathers?

[Ruitha]

*laughs*
Okay, you're basically there. You just need to be slightly more specific. Stay with the father/son thing.

[Finwe]

Both had husbands who disdained/hated their sons, and directly or indirectly tried to kill them?

[Ruitha]

Okay, you got it. smilies/smile.gif Your turn!

[Finwe]

Ingwë and Imrahil

[Thorongil]

Both were leading a small part of a greater army to battle?

[Evisse the Blue]

Their daughters married someone not from their house?

[Gil-Galad]

They both took realms by the sea, or had things to do with swans (eg: swan knights of Dol Amroth and Swan ships of Aqualonde)

[Finwe]

Nope.

[Miriel]

May we have a hint, please, Finwe? ;)

[Finwe]

HINT: It has to do with their siblings.

[Thorongil]

*bump* This game is too much fun to die! I'm clueless, but someone must know the answer.

[Finwe]

Ok... I'll give you guys another hint...


HINT: Look what their sisters did.

[Arvedui III]

Herm...no clue, time to guess. Both their sisters bore two sons? Faramir and Boromir for Finduilas and Fingolfin and Finarfin for Indis.

[Thorongil]

Since Finwe hasn't checked in in over ten days, I'll steal the thread:)

What is the connection between

Gimli and Feanor

[Firefoot]

Didn't both ask Galadriel for some of her hair?

[symestreem]

Going out on a limb here... both loved Galadriel? I think I remember reading that Feanor loved Galadriel, but she didn't love him.

[Thorongil]

Firefoot got it! You're next.

[Finwe]

Oh dear... I completely forgot about this thread... Anyway... in hindsight, the answer to mine was:

Both of their sisters had husbands who died untimely deaths.

[Firefoot]

Okay, thanks, Thorongil!

Gollum and Balin.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Both of them went looking for Rings of Power?

[Firefoot]

Not what I'm looking for.

[The Perky Ent]

They both lived in the Misty Mountains for a time? Gollum in his cave and Balin in Moria?

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[The Perky Ent]

They both died in a place full of fire? Gollum died at Mount Doom, which is very fiery, and Balin died in Moria, which has a balrog...which is also fiery!

[Fingolfin II]

They both went to Moria?

[Firefoot]

Neither.

[The Perky Ent]

They both met Bilbo Baggins?

[Firefoot]

No.

[The Perky Ent]

They were both around the one ring for a while?

[NightKnight]

Bilbo managed to get past both with the ring on his finger.

[Firefoot]

Nope.

Hint: it has nothing to do with Rings.

[Finwe]

They both came into contact with Hobbits of the Shire?

OR


They both went on journeys with Hobbits of the Shire?

[Firefoot]

No.

[The Perky Ent]

They both hate orcs?

[Gilwen]

Uhh..both were relatively short??

[Firefoot]

Neither.

Hint: It is something that happened to both of them.

[Finwe]

Bilbo slipped past both of them while bearing the Ring.

[Larien Telemnar]

Both were captured by the Elves of Mirkwood?

[Firefoot]

Wow, this is an old thread. I'm amazed I still remember the answer - you are correct, Larien.

Welcome to the Downs, btw, and enjoy being dead! :D

[Larien Telemnar]

I'm right? I'm right! Thankee! :D *Bounces up and down* This Hobbit never wins anything! I think I fried my brain, I thought about that for ten minutes!

Thank you for the warm welcome!

Drogo Baggins And Paladin Took II

[Mettare]

Both had a son who became a member of the Fellowship of the Ring?
