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.

Lómelindi · 06-26-2002, 10:52 PM

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

Arwen Imladris · 06-29-2002, 07:25 PM

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

Lómelindi · 06-29-2002, 08:47 PM

This should be an easy one…

Túrin
Eärendil
Bard
Fram

bragolheledion · 06-30-2002, 07:34 AM

all human or at least half human lol

Lush · 06-30-2002, 03:02 PM

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

Lindolirian · 06-30-2002, 04:21 PM

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

Lush · 06-30-2002, 04:28 PM

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.

I guess it's your turn then. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lómelindi · 07-01-2002, 05:30 PM

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]

Lindolirian · 07-01-2002, 07:07 PM

Uh, does that mean it's my turn?

Lómelindi · 07-01-2002, 07:42 PM

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

Lindolirian · 07-02-2002, 05:45 PM

Ok.

Peregrin Took
Mithrandir
Hurin

akhtene · 07-02-2002, 06:00 PM

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

Lindolirian · 07-02-2002, 10:23 PM

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

akhtene · 07-02-2002, 10:30 PM

Doing away with trolls then?

Lindolirian · 07-03-2002, 09:09 PM

Yes they all commited trollicide.

akhtene · 07-04-2002, 03:52 PM

Well, well... *scratching her head*

Eol
Maeglin
Tuor
Hurin
Huor

Lindolirian · 07-05-2002, 11:20 AM

They all were outsiders coming to Gondolin.

akhtene · 07-06-2002, 03:57 PM

Right again! (what else did I expect)

Lindolirian · 07-08-2002, 11:16 PM

Tuor
Gandalf
Galadriel
Thingol
Elwing

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-09-2002, 02:32 PM

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

Lindolirian · 07-09-2002, 02:35 PM

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

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-09-2002, 02:47 PM

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???

Lindolirian · 07-12-2002, 03:39 PM

Correct!

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-12-2002, 08:19 PM

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

Galadriel
Finrod
Turgon
Fingon

Orome · 07-12-2002, 10:53 PM

all elves, you want more specific?

They are Noldorean, all lived in Aman

Daniel Telcontar · 07-13-2002, 04:02 AM

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

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-13-2002, 10:37 AM

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!)

Orome · 07-13-2002, 09:48 PM

i know i was trying to BS it

Daniel Telcontar · 07-14-2002, 10:00 AM

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.

akhtene · 07-14-2002, 03:55 PM

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

Daniel Telcontar · 07-15-2002, 05:41 AM

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

akhtene · 07-17-2002, 06:36 PM

Well now try this list

Beren
Thingol
Earendil
Maethros
Maglor + some others

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-18-2002, 12:48 PM

Beren
Thingol
Earendil
Maethros
Maglor + some others

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

akhtene · 07-18-2002, 07:30 PM

That's right. Your turn now.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-18-2002, 08:21 PM

Daniel Telcontar · 07-19-2002, 03:41 AM

They all had Gollum as a prisoner?

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-19-2002, 04:31 PM

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

Daniel Telcontar · 07-22-2002, 07:24 AM

Thanks!
Next one:
Maedhros
Hurin
Gorlim
Beren

Lindolirian · 07-23-2002, 10:17 PM
