hmmmm... good idea, but that was not what I was thinking.

Hint: Bilbo could be added to this list.

That was not a very good hint.

Hint: think of a place that all of them were at at the same time.

That is a better hint.

They all departed on the ship at the Grey Havens and passed into the Ancient West at the end of the Third Age?

Yup! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

This should be an easy one…

Túrin
Eärendil
Bard
Fram

all human or at least half human lol

You know, if it wasn't for Eärendil, you could say that each of them slew a dragon...
Hmm.

Ah, but Earendil, did slay a dragon. He killed Ancalagon the Black in the War of Wrath.

Is that right??? Crikey, it is. Fudge! You're absolutely correct. He came over on Vingilot, and did some serious damage to those dragons. And I FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT.
*banging head against desk*
I guess it's your turn then. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I didn't know my simple question would inspire such a debate. But of course Lindolirian jumps in and saves us all. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Uh, does that mean it's my turn?

Lush almost had it, but Lindolirian finished the thought. That means yes, it's your turn.

Ok.

Peregrin Took
Mithrandir
Hurin

They all were held in captivity?
Pippin - by orks
Mithrandir - by Saruman
Hurin - by Morgoth
Beregond - by (?) for killing Denethor's men

No. Think of what each of them did. Actually, I don't think Beregond belongs. sorry. I'll take him out of the list.

Doing away with trolls then?

Yes they all commited trollicide.

Well, well... *scratching her head*

Eol
Maeglin
Tuor
Hurin
Huor

They all were outsiders coming to Gondolin.

[ July 05, 2002: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

Right again! (what else did I expect)

Tuor
Gandalf
Galadriel
Thingol
Elwing

All visited (or lived/stayed) in Menegroth except Gandalf......?

No, and this is One Thing in Common, not Odd Man Out. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Oh yeah, I'm getting confused now, sorry!

Ok, I was going to say that they were all sent somewhere as messengers, but then I got confused about Elwing. So I'll say.....they're all immortal???

Correct!

Woohoo! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Galadriel
Finrod
Turgon
Fingon

all elves, you want more specific?

They are Noldorean, all lived in Aman

They all crossed the Helcaraxë, and were all close related.

Daniel got closest, they're all related. Your turn! (sorry Orome, yours were right of course too, but not the answer I was looking for!)

i know i was trying to BS it

Alright, I haven't tried this before but here is the next persons with one thing in common:

Galadriel
Celeborn
Turin
Dior

Should not be that hard.

They all lived for some time in <color font'yellow'> Doriath . Right?
Celeborn was Prince of Doriath
Galadriel met him there and married him
Dior ruled in Doriath after Thingol's death
Turin was sent to Doriath by his mother

Yes, that is the connection I wanted. You may continue.

Well now try this list

Beren
Thingol
Earendil
Maethros
Maglor + some others

Beren
Thingol
Earendil
Maethros
Maglor + some others

They all once owned a Silmaril. Or atleast had it for some time.

That's right. Your turn now.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Aragorn
Gandalf
Thranduil
Frodo (Sam too)

They all had Gollum as a prisoner?

Damn, your good!!!! I thought that there would be a hint needed at some point!

Thanks!
Next one:
Maedhros
Hurin
Gorlim
Beren
Finrod

Each one of them were all held prisoner by either Morgoth or Sauron.
