What's Missing?

[Aerandir Carnesir]

Ok. I'm not sure if there's a quiz like this anywhere, but here goes:

I give a group of things, people, places, etc., but I leave something(s) out. Someone has to then figure out what's missing. When someone get's it right, it's their turn and they get to do it.

I't's like this:
Aragorn, Gandalf, Frodo, Gimli, Merry, Pippin, Boromir, and Sam. What or who's missing?

[Beren87]

Hmm..I don't remember a game like this, good idea!

Legolas is missing! (and if this is the movie, thank god).

[Aerandir Carnesir]

You're right Beren! We are off to a good start. smilies/biggrin.gif

Alaklondewen's turn.

[alaklondewen]

Too kind, you're too kind.

Arwen, Lobelia, Ioreth, Galadriel, Goldberry

[Beruthiel]

Could it be Eowyn?

[alaklondewen]

Yes, you are correct. The women in LotR...too short of a list, but, of course, that is a different thread. smilies/wink.gif Please go on.

[ March 23, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

Ingwë of Finwë.

[elven maiden Earwen]

correct you are

[Rochelle]

I'm going to *bump* this up so that we'll get another question to answer smilies/smile.gif

[Arwen Imladris]

Hmmm, hows about:

Frodo, Bilbo, Galadriel, Gandalf.

[alaklondewen]

Elrond, Sam, and Cirdan the missing ring-bearers?

[Narya]

Or if only one is missing: Elrond cause he sailed away with the others and was a ring bearer.

[Beren87]

Sam did too though. smilies/wink.gif

[Tinuviel87]

Technically I have no right to continue this but no one is posting ANYTHING so oh well...
What's missing:
Sam, Frodo, Merry, and Pippin smilies/rolleyes.gif so I suck at this... haha

[Aerandir Carnesir]

Fatty Bolger?

[Beren87]

Tinuviel87, they have 10 days.

It's still Arwen's question.

[Arwen Imladris]

It was Elrond that I was thinking of, the others were corect though!

Narya: Your turn!

[Tinuviel87]

Lo siento... v. sorry *slaps hand* But if I had not broken the rules Aerandir would be correct...but I did smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Rochelle]

It's been quite a bit so I'll post a new riddle:

Whos missing:

Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Thorin, Dwalin, Balin...

[The Saucepan Man]

Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Thorin, Dwalin, Balin...

... Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Fili and Kili.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go ... smilies/biggrin.gif

[Rochelle]

Correct you are! Those merry dwarves *lol*

[The Saucepan Man]

Oh, those crazy Dwarves. smilies/biggrin.gif

OK, how about this one. Who's missing:

Bilbo Baggins, Deagol, Frodo Baggins, Isildur, Samwise Gamgee, Sauron, Smeagol, Tom Bombadil.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Gandalf, the only other person to touch the one ring. (did you steal this from the Middle Earth maths thread? smilies/wink.gif)

Sophia

[The Saucepan Man]

did you steal this from the Middle Earth maths thread?

Thief, Saucepanses! smilies/biggrin.gif (Although that was Ringbearers, not Ringtouchers.)

You are, of course, correct, Sophia. And I thought that it was a tricksy one. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

lol... it would have been, except I was the one who posted the list of ring-touchers on the other thread smilies/wink.gif Let me think for a moment...

Tirion, Minas Anor, Avallone, Gondolin...

Sophia

[The Saucepan Man]

... I was the one who posted the list of ring-touchers on the other thread

So you did. I honestly hadn't noticed that. smilies/smile.gif

Excellent question, Sophia. My first thought was that they were all White Cities, which led me on to what I think might be the answer ...

... Armenelos in Númenor, this being the other location of one of the White Trees - Nimloth descended from Telperion.

There was Galathilion, the White Tree that stood in Tirion, Celeborn in Avallone and the Two White Trees that grew in the courts of Minas Anor. Gondolin had no actual White Tree, but an image of the Two Trees of Valinor that was made by Turgon.

So, is it Armenelos?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

it is, but there's one more... smilies/smile.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Well then that must surely be Ezellohar, the green mound before the Gates of Valimar, where the original Two Trees of the Valar stood.

Edit: Wait! Scrub that. You must be looking for Minas Ithil, where the original fruit from Nimloth was planted.

[ April 15, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Bingo! smilies/smile.gif I didn't think you'd figure it out that fast... smilies/smile.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Hehe. Had to do some quick thinking there. smilies/smile.gif

Attercop, Old Tomnoddy, Lazy Lob, Crazy Cob

[Beren87]

Hmm...Old fat Spider maybe? They were all names Bilbo called the spiders in The Hobbit.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Those are all names that Bilbo called the spiders in the Hobbit, but I can't find anymore... *frowns* possibly "old fat spider"?
Old fat spider spinning in a tree!
Old fat spider can't see me!
Attercop! Attercop!
Won't you stop,
Stop your spinning and look for me?

Old Tomnoddy, all big body,
Old Tomnoddy can't spy me!
Attercop! Attercop!
Down you drop!
You'll never catch me up your tree!

Lazy Lob and crazy Cob
are weaving webs to wind me.
I am far more sweet than other meat,
but still they cannot find me.

Here I am, naughty little fly;
you are fat and lazy.
You cannot trap me, though you try,
in your cobwebs crazy.

Sophia

[The Saucepan Man]

Is it "Get Saucepan's questions so quick that he can't keep up" Day, or something? smilies/biggrin.gif

Old fat spider it is, Beren87. smilies/smile.gif

Edit: Ah, I'm tempted to give it to Sophia for reciting those great verses in all their glory. But, Beren had it first (by a whisker). smilies/smile.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

yike! he sneaked in right in front of me, and I didn't even notice! smilies/tongue.gif

[elven maiden Earwen]

New Question?

Hyarnustar, Hyarrostar, Forostar, Orrostar and...... What's missing?

[Cúdae]

Andustar? I think that's it...

[elven maiden Earwen]

correct

[King_Elendil]

Amandil, Elendil, Isildur

[Cúdae]

Yay! I got something on the quiz boards right!

Anyway...

Túrin, Gorthol, Mormegil, Wildman of the Woods, Turambar, Neithan...

[elven maiden Earwen]

King_Elendil it is not your turn because Cúdae answered my question correct. Please read the
Quiz Room Rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000386). and have fun. smilies/biggrin.gif

Could the answer be :Adanedhel, Agarwaen, Bloodstained, Dread Helm, The Wronged, Bane of Glaurung, The Black Sword.
Any of those?

[Cúdae]

Agarwaen was what I was thinking of, so you got it! smilies/smile.gif

I didn't know he had so many other names...whoa. lol.

[elven maiden Earwen]

I know. In my opinion that is way too many names for one man.

Next Question:
Halflings, Holbytlan, Little People, Hobbits and..... What's missing?

[Cúdae]

Perriennath? Did I spell that right?

[elven maiden Earwen]

I know what you ment so it is now your turn.

Edit: Spelling. such an evil thing.

[ July 02, 2003: Message edited by: elven maiden Earwen ]

[Cúdae]

Spelling, hatesss we doesss. smilies/smile.gif

Avari, Vanyar, Noldor, Silvan, Laiquendi, Sindar, Nandor, Teleri, Nandor, and...

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

You seemed to have got them all already. Unless you want to have Galadhrim?

[Firondoiel]

Úmanyar or Moriquendi?

[ July 03, 2003: Message edited by: Firondoiel ]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Eldar, Calaquendi...

And you have Nandor twice smilies/wink.gif. Thought I'd mention it.

Sophia

[Cúdae]

Close, but not quite. smilies/smile.gif Not Eldar because of the broadness it covers and not Morequendi or the other one I can't spell, because, well, I can't spell. Think a shorter name and another branch of Elves.

I can't believe I put Nandor twice, just overlook that. smilies/smile.gif

[Firondoiel]

Do you mean Lindar?

[Cúdae]

You got it, Firondoiel! Your turn! smilies/smile.gif

[Firondoiel]

Thank you!

Isengrim II, Isumbras III, Ferumbras II,
Gerontius, Isengrim III, Isumbras IV, Paladin II, Peregrin I, Faramir I

[ July 05, 2003: Message edited by: Firondoiel ]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

The Thains of the Shire:

you're missing Bucca of the Marish, Gorhendad Oldbuck, 10 unspecified Oldbucks, Fortinbras I and II, Ferumbras III, Isengrim I and 8 unspecified Tooks, likely including all the Is for which there are later IIs and IIIs smilies/wink.gif.

Sophia

[ July 07, 2003: Message edited by: Sophia the Thunder Mistress ]

[Firondoiel]

You are correct of course, Mistress Sophia. smilies/smile.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Alright, this is tricky.

Helm's Deep, the Pelennor Fields...

[The Saucepan Man]

Well, I'll go for the obvious and say the hills before Morannon, the connection being that they are all the sites of battles depicted in LotR.

If that's not it, a hint perhaps? smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Evisse the Blue]

*bump* Trying to guess the riddle: - for what it's worth:

Expanding on Mr Saucepan's idea:
...the Cracks of Doom. (desperate situations when victory seemed futile, but which were saved by a miraculous turn of events)?

[Sleepy Ranger]

I think I'll ask the next question
Boromir, Grima, Smeagol

Hint: The next one is not from LOTR

[symestreem]

Frodo, Sauron, Beren, Maedhros.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Morgoth. Each one had a hand injured because they would not let go of a treasure...a silmarillion or the One Ring.

[symestreem]

Sorry, Luthien, I'd forgotten about this thread! Morgoth is correct.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Ok...what (or in this case, who) is missing from this list and why?

Huan
Eomer
Grishnakh
Meklor and all other evil Valar
Merry
Eowen

[Evisse the Blue]

Faramir? Because they all disobeyed someone about something?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

I am absolutely drawing a blank concerning Faramir's disobeying someone. But that is the correct reasoning for my list. Beregond was the missing item on my list.
So, it your turn with my compliments :)

Oh, duh...now I remember. When he allowed Frodo and Sam to go free..or am I mixing up the movie with the book??? I can't remember. :rolleyes:

[Evisse the Blue]

yes i was thinking when he allowed frodo and sam to go free, although it's made more explicit in the movie it's also in the book. But yeah, I guess Beregond is the more obvious guess. I guess I too am being brainwashed by the movie :rolleyes:
Anyway - here's the next:

Tom Bombadil
Aragorn
Gandalf

[Phervasaion]

Would it be Elrond?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Galadriel? People to whom Frodo offered the ring?

[Evisse the Blue]

nope. hint: it's not anything they did

[Arvedui III]

Herm...the master, the king, the Maia, so, perhaps next would be a vala. Manwe?

[Evisse the Blue]

No but you're on the right track...in a way.

[Arvedui III]

Alrighty, I'll try the opposite track then. Eomer, because they all had lordship over something.

[Evisse the Blue]

It's simple really. You're just on the wrong track.
Hint: the missing character is not from LOTR.

[Mad Baggins]

If it's ascending in power, would the next one be Iluvatar?

[Evisse the Blue]

nope.

[The Perky Ent]

No clue, but Morgoth?

[NightKnight]

Glorfindel?

[The Saucepan Man]

Please folks, give reasons for your answers. Otherwise we could all just keep guessing Middle-earth characters until someone gets it. This is a game, not a character listing exercise.

[Evisse the Blue]

I guess this is partly my fault for being so vague...it could indeed be anyone and it has resorted to guessing.
Ok, a huge hint: Names.

[Arvedui III]

Herm...maybe Saruman because they all have multiple names and titles.

[Evisse the Blue]

Another missing one from this list would be Turin, but Saruman is correct as well of course.

[Arvedui III]

Cool. Herm...lemme see. Ah, got one.

Faramir
Aragorn
Eomer

[Fingolfin II]

Theoden? They all are/were loved by Eowyn?

[Arvedui III]

Good guess, but not what I was looking for.

[wilwarin538]

Its like all the royalty, Aragorns a king, Eomer is a king(at the end of LOTR)and Faramir is the steward, your missing the prince of Merkwood, so Legolas?

[Morsul the Dark]

i think eowyn

all these charactors were royalty and were orphaqns so Eomer's sister.

[paavo]

maybe Gandalf? since then there would be two kings and two stewards.

[wilwarin538]

are you there Arvedui II?

[wilwarin538]

10 day rule! 10 day rule!

I think Ive got a good question for this, but it is my first time so it might be too easy:

Thorin
Kili
Oin
Balin
Fili

Who`s missing??

[NightKnight]

Ori - they we're all dead during LotR.

[wilwarin538]

I knew that was easy, your go.

[NightKnight]

It was a good question. :)

Penlod
Turgon
Tuor
Duilin
Salgant
Egalmoth
Galdor
Glorfindel
Ecthelion
Meglin

[Morsul the Dark]

Boromir Gandalf Legalos and gimli
