[Beren87]

This...really doesn't make any sense. It sounds just like word association.

[Nerindel]

Ah, is it Aragorn - Ecthelion II, (During Ecthelion's rule Aragorn, disguised as Thorongil, served Gondor.)

Gandalf-Thorin Oakenshield (Gandalf accompanied Thorins company)

I agree.

It sounds just like word association.

...Or One Thing in Common (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000239&p=)
Try it and see if that's the game you're thinking of.

[Gil-Galad]

well the first person who tried got it wrong and i'l ltry and explain it a little bit better

you put down any number of people/things/places in a listed form and you must put them together in a order in which they match. it doesn't have to be the same thing, it just has to be able to match

[alaklondewen]

I may just be dense (I doubt it), but I still don't understand. Can you give us another example, or tell us the answer to the current problem and explain how you arrived at the answer?

[Gil-Galad]

Nerindel had got it right so i think he/she knows what to do

[Nerindel]

smilies/redface.gif does this help? find the matched pairs in the list and what connects them:
Example:
Frodo
Éowyn
Bilbo
Faramir

Answer
First pair: Frodo and Bilbo,
connection: both ring-bearers

Second pair: Éowyn and Faramir,
connection: they married after WR.

Try this one:
Cirdan
Thorin
Gandalf
Smaug

oh and its she Gil-galad smilies/biggrin.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Gandalf and Cirdan: Both wore Narya, the Ring of Fire.

Thorin and Smaug: Both were resident in the Dwarven Halls under the Lonely Mountain (at different times, of course smilies/wink.gif ).

[Nerindel]

Righto Saucepan man smilies/biggrin.gif your turn.

[Gil-Galad]

yah thats how its suppsoe to go! thanks for the help Nerindel

[Nerindel]

No problem Gil-Galad smilies/wink.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

OK, here's one:

Boromir
Denethor
Finarfin
Lenwe

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

I've got the first connection, the second's a real stretch, but I'll take a shot at it.

Lenwe (of the Nandor) was the father of Denethor (the first lord of the Laiquendi in Ossiriand).

Boromir (of Ladros) was given his land by a Lord of the house of Finarfin (namely Finrod Felagund)

-Sophia

[The Saucepan Man]

Hmm, Sophia, there's no sneaking a question past you.

A stretch it may be, but you are correct. smilies/smile.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Alrighty... *rubs hands together* I like this game Gil-Galad smilies/biggrin.gif

Hurin
Elendil
Oromendil
Denethor

Sophia

[Gil-Galad]

i would say that


Hurin-Denethor- both stewards of Gondor

Elendil-Oromendil- Related?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

er... *grimacing*

Thinking of a different Hurin, and not the obvious Elendil either.

You're quite close though

Sophia

[Nerindel]

Hurin - Denethor, they were both decieved by their enemy, Hurin by Morgoth and Denethor by Sauron?

Elendil - Oromendil, both of the faithful?/or kings of Numenor?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Nope smilies/smile.gif keep trying...

[Annunfuiniel]

I'll try...
Hurin of the Keys served Denethor II and
Oromendil, a Númenorean nobleman was King Tar-Elendil's cousin.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Exactly smilies/smile.gif did you change your avatar Annun? I loved it smilies/frown.gif

Sophia

[Annunfuiniel]

Really? I mean you liked the book? Why I like it too but I thought of trying other avatars for a change. I'll probably have different one for each day now that I found a whole bunch that I like! smilies/biggrin.gif But the book will most likely make a come-back... smilies/smile.gif

Oh, and a new question is coming up right after I have thought of one. I just had to comment upon this avatar issue... smilies/wink.gif

[Annunfuiniel]

Ok, here we go:

Rían
Gildor
Barahir
Dior

smilies/evil.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

The smilies/evil.gif doesn't bode well, but I'll give it a try.

Barahir - Gildor: Gildor was one of the 12 companions of Barahir in Dorthonion.

Rian - Dior: The children of both (Tuor and Elwing) sailed to Valinor.

[Annunfuiniel]

Well, consider the first connection solved smilies/smile.gif but you need to work on the second one... smilies/tongue.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Nerindel]

Dior - Rían, Dior's Daughter (Elwing) married Rían's grandson (Eärendil)?

[Annunfuiniel]

Nerindel, your answer is as correct as was Saucepan's, but I'm looking for something else. You need to widen your perspective - considerably. smilies/wink.gif

[Estanesse]

Dior was attacked and killed by the sons of Feanor
Rian Great grandmother of Elrond and Elros who were attacked and captive by the sons of Feanor

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Rian-> Dior: the only mortals whose children were immortal.

Elwing, daughter of Dior, went to Valinor with Earendil.

Tuor, son of Rian, went to Valinor with Idril.

Earendil, the only other logical candidate, was actually the son of two immortals, Idril and Tuor.

smilies/biggrin.gif still a stretch, but I like this game.

Sophia

[Annunfuiniel]

Estanesse and Sophia: great answers and sorry I kept you waiting. But alas! No right answer yet. smilies/wink.gif

Ok, when I said you need to widen your perspective I meant you need to think of another Dior...

Edit: Sorry Estanesse...

[Gil-Galad]

dang i have no idea

[Gil-Galad]

its been ten days so i can go now

Elros
Turgon
Elrond
Aragorn

[kimli]

Greetings! Kimli at your service! I thought I would give this a try.
Turgon is the great grandfather of Elros
Elrond is Aragorn's father in-law

[Gil-Galad]

nope


Edit: just a side note, aragorn is like Elronds GRAND nephew becasue he is realted to Elros, Elronds brother

[ May 23, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

[Gil-Galad]

need a hint?

[Eruanna]

Aragorn and Elros, distanly related, became Kings of Men.

Turgon and Elrond, both rulers of "Hidden" places and both had daughters who married mortals.

[Gil-Galad]

you are correct with Turgon and Elrond and close enough with elros and aragorn so, good job! your up!!!

[Eruanna]

Thank you smilies/smile.gif

Turgon
Aragorn
Dior
Thingol
Emeldir
Tuor

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Dior- Thingol, both were slain over the Silmaril.

Emeldir-Tuor, both led their people out of danger to safety

Turgon-Aragorn, I have no idea what their connection might be, but I liked the other two so I decided to post anyway smilies/wink.gif

Sophia

[Eruanna]

Both of those are valid Sophia, but they're not what I had in mind. smilies/smile.gif

[Finwe]

Turgon - Thingol: Both their daughters married mortal men and they were both slain in the ruin of their Kingdoms.

Tuor - Aragorn: They both married the daughters of Elf Lords/Kings and had to perform certain tasks to end up marrying those daughters.

Emeldir - Dior: They both had to lead their people to a new place to "start over again." Emeldir had to flee over the mountains. Dior had to travel to Doriath to take over the throne of his grandfather.

[Eruanna]

They are the matching pairs I had in mind, though for slightly differing reasons:

Emeldir / Dior, for the reasons you stated and both their fathers were named Beren.

Tuor / Aragorn, both fostered by Elves and married the daughters' of Elven leaders.

Turgon / Thingol, both were slain and called "The Hidden King"

You matched the pairs and your reasons were just as good as mine....so your go. smilies/smile.gif

[The Perky Ent]

Bumpy Bumpy Bump!


Your turn Finwe. Cool new avatar

[The Perky Ent]

Here are the new people:


Gothmog
Thingol
Celebriand
Legolas
Arathorn II
Radagast



Really easy, but fun anyway!

[NightKnight]

Legolas and Thingol - Both lived in forest realms.
Radagast and Gothmog - Both were maiar.
Arathorn II and Celebrian - Both lived in Rivendell at some point.

[symestreem]

*bump* Perky Ent?

[The Perky Ent]

Looks good to me! your go!

[NightKnight]

Morgoth
Hurin
Fingon
Fëanor
Ecthelion
Pippin

Try this. :)

[Arvedui III]

Morgoth and Hurin- Both lived in Angbad at some point.
Fingon and Feanor-Both took part in the rebellion of the Noldor.
Ecthelion and Pippin-Both fought for Gondor.

[NightKnight]

Not even the Ecthelion I had in mind, but sure. ;)

[Arvedui III]

Ah, I should have known. Herm...

Faramir
Beleg
Dior
Arvedui
Imrahil
Celebrian

[NightKnight]

Faramir & Beleg - Both were archers
Imrahil & Dior - Both had part elven blood
Celebrian & Arvedui - Both used boats

[Arvedui III]

Works for me. Your go. :)

[NightKnight]

Beren
Fingon
Finrod
Ecthelion
Durin's Bane
Fili

[Arvedui III]

Fili and Durin's Bane: Both lived underground at some point.
Beren and Finrod: Both were imprisioned by Sauron
Fingon and Ecthelion: Both were elves

[NightKnight]

Why not?

[Arvedui III]

M'kay, herm...

Samwise
Elendil
Barahir
Egalmoth
Tuor
Ecthelion

[NightKnight]

Samwise and Elendil - Both were friends of Elrond
Barahir and Tuor - Both ancestors of Elrond
Egalmoth and Ecthelion - Both stewards of Gondor

[Arvedui III]

Sure. What you said.

[NightKnight]

So...

Folca
Frealaf
Folcwine
Eomer
Leod
Helm

And don't say they were all kings of Rohan/Eotheod. ;)

[Arvedui III]

Darn it.


Eomer and Leod: Both of them did not ride mearas into battle.
Helm and Frealaf: Were both burried in the mounds at Edoras
Folca and Folcwine: Are both related to Folcred.

[NightKnight]

I'm gonna have to say no. How do you know Firefoot wasn't a mearas. I think he was. And all of them were buried in Edoras (except Leod), and all of them were related to Folcred. So have more specific guesses.

[symestreem]

Frealaf and Eomer- both started a new line of kings and mounds
Folca and Leod- both were killed by an animal
Helm and Folcwine- both had two sons fall in battle

[NightKnight]

Exactly what I was looking for. :)
