Perks? You seem to forget this thread a lot.

The Perky Ent 08-12-2004 09:01 AM

I'm thinking! I'm thinking! And I've got one!

This is gonna be evil....

Eldarion ---> Mahtan, father of Nerdanel


But here's the catch :D You can't use Arwen, Elrond, or Idril! MWA HA HA HA! Have fun ;)

NightKnight 08-12-2004 12:25 PM

Is it possible to do this in a straight line? 'Cause I can only get to Elendil from Eldarion without using Arwen...

The Perky Ent 08-12-2004 01:56 PM

You can get past Elendil. If you need a hint, look back to previous questions in this thread :D

NightKnight 08-12-2004 06:54 PM

Hmm, I think I can do this:

Eldarion -s> Aragorn II -s> Arathorn II -s> Arador -s> Argonui -s> Arathorn I -s> Arassuil -s> Arahad II -s> Aravorn -s> Aragost -s> Arahad I -s> Araglas -s> Aragorn I -s> Aravir -s> Aranuir -s> Arahail -s> Aranarth -s> Arvedui -s> Araphant -s> Araval -s> Arveleg II -s> Arvegil -s> Argeleb II -s> Araphor -s> Arveleg I -s> Argeleb I -s> Malvegil -s> Celebrindol -s> Celepharn -s> Mallor -s> Beleg -s> Amlaith -s> Earendur -s> Elendur -s> Valandur -s> Tarondor -s> Tarcil -s> Arantar -s> Eldacar -s> Valandil -s> Isildur -s> Elendil -s> Amandil -s> Numendil -s> ... -s> Earendur -b> Lindorie -m> Inzilbeth -m> Tar-Palantir -s> Ar-Gimilzor -s> Ar-Sakalthor -s> Ar-Zimrathon -s> Ar-Adunakhor -s> Tar-Ardamin -s> Tar-Calmacil -s> Tar-Alcarin -s> Tar-Vanimelde -d> Tar-Telemaite -s> Tar-Ancalimon -s> Tar-Atanamir -s> Tar-Ciryatan -s> Tar-Minastir -s> Isilmo -s> Tar-Surion -s> Tar-Anarion -s> Tar-Ancalime -d> Tar-Aldarion -s> Tar-Meneldur -s> Tar-Elendil -s> Tar-Amandil -s> Vardamir -s> Elros -s> Elwing -d> Dior -s> Luthien -d> Thingol -b> Olwe -f> Earwen -m> Finrod -s> Finarfin -s> Finwe -f> Feanor -f> Maedhros -s> Nerdanel -d> Mahtan

There is one small gap (between Numendil and Earendur), and I've used the -b> connection twice (Earendur -> Lindorie and Thingol -> Olwe). I hope it's good enough. :p

The Perky Ent 08-12-2004 08:53 PM

Got it! Correct! Right on the nose. Well, actually I forgot to mention you couldn't use Elwing, but since I didn't say it, it doesn't count, and you get it! You will now be awarded with a nice mithril sword :D

NightKnight 08-14-2004 12:16 PM

A mithril sword? Seriously? My dreams have come true! :D

But I can do it without Elwing as well (just to show off ;)):

Elros -s> Earendil -s> Tuor -s> Rian -d> Belegund -s> Bregolas -s> Bregor -f> Barahir -f> Beren -f> Dior

Etc.

Anyway, we need an easy one now... Just take Gil-Galad -> Dior Aranel.

The Perky Ent 08-14-2004 01:44 PM

Yes, a mithril sword :D


Gil-Galad -s> Fingon -s> Fingolfin -s> Finwe -f> Finarfin -f> Galadriel -m> Celebriand -m> Arwen -d> Elrond -s> Elwing -d> Dior

NightKnight 08-14-2004 06:11 PM

And you're absolutely right! Please continue. :)

The Perky Ent 08-14-2004 08:43 PM

Right

Berylla ---> Frodo

NightKnight 08-15-2004 05:03 AM

Berylla -m> Largo -f> Fosco -f> Drogo -f> Frodo

The Swedish version of the Appendices is a complete mess. Good thing there are internet genealogies as well. ;)

The Perky Ent 08-16-2004 02:08 PM

Why would you be reading Sweedish? Are you sweedish? Anyways, that's right!

NightKnight 08-16-2004 04:40 PM

Yeah, I'm Swedish. ;)

Take Elmo -> Celebrimbor, and you're not allowed to use the -b> connection.

The Perky Ent 08-16-2004 04:57 PM

Sweedish? Rock on! Anyways


Elmo -f> Galadhorn -f> Celeborn -f> Celebrian -d> Galadriel -d> Finarfin -s> Finwe -f> Feanor -f> Curufin -f> Celebrimbor

NightKnight 08-16-2004 06:06 PM

Perfect. :)

The Perky Ent 08-16-2004 07:16 PM

What? No sword? Just kidding. Here's the next one:


Beor ---> Enthor


No Belen, Emeldir, Beldis, Morwen, Rian, or Hareth

NightKnight 08-17-2004 05:28 AM

Unfortunately I only have my shiny, mithril one, and I've become quite attached to it. But you can have this nice, big ruby instead. :p

Beor -f> Baran -f> Boron -f> Boromir -f> Bregor -f> Barahir -f> Beren -f> Dior -f> Elwing -m> Elrond -s> Earendil -s> Tuor -s> Huor -s> Galdor -s> Hador -f> Gloredhel -m> Handir -s> Haldir -s> Halmir -f> Hiril -m> Meleth -d> Enthor

Tricksssy question, yesss preciousss.

The Perky Ent 08-17-2004 09:49 AM

Ruby? I've always liked saphire better...


********selling ruby's for saphires***********


Right! That's better! Thanks! Anyways, your right! So, you get more dwarvenshine!

NightKnight 08-18-2004 01:36 PM

Thanks. :)

Hmmm... Not sure if this question is perfectly legal, but try it. ;)

Númenor -> Rohan

The Perky Ent 08-18-2004 03:46 PM

Hmm...

Numenor -s> Aule -f> Rohan?

NightKnight 08-18-2004 03:47 PM

Nope. :p

The Perky Ent 08-18-2004 03:50 PM

Um....

Numenor -f> Gondor -f> Rohan?


Can you tell me what's wrong about this, cuase it's not a normal question!

NightKnight 08-19-2004 01:53 AM

That's absolutely right. :p

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-23-2004 12:34 AM

Perks?

The Perky Ent 08-23-2004 05:47 PM

Right! Next question!


Valinor ---> Tol Eressea

But, you can't use any example from any age except the 4th!

NightKnight 08-24-2004 06:02 AM

Valinor -s> Eru -f> Tol Eressea

The Perky Ent 08-24-2004 04:11 PM

Nope!

The Perky Ent 08-31-2004 06:11 PM

Here's a hint: Where elves goes, the answer goes :D

NightKnight 09-01-2004 11:18 AM

Valinor -> Grey Havens -> Tol Eressea?

The Perky Ent 09-01-2004 04:26 PM

Nope :D Elves didn't go directly from Valinor to Mithlond!

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-02-2004 12:15 AM

Valinor -> Tirion -> Tol Eressëa?

The Saucepan Man 09-03-2004 11:10 AM

Um, this thread is about family ties not degrees of separation ...

Please get back on track when it's time for the next question.

The Perky Ent 09-04-2004 01:25 PM

Well, in light of the circumstances, I'll give it to you :D

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-06-2004 01:29 AM

Okie-dokie then.
 
Bilbo Baggins -> Lotho Sackville-Baggins

luthien-elvenprincess 09-06-2004 07:31 AM

Bilbo -s> Bungo -s> Mungo -f> Longo -f> Otho -f> Lotho

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-06-2004 11:23 PM

Listen.
 
The green hand uttereth that thou art correct. :)

luthien-elvenprincess 09-07-2004 05:46 PM

lol, must be sign language!

Handir->Marach

The Perky Ent 09-07-2004 05:52 PM

Handir -s> Gloredhel -d> Hador -s> Hathol -s> Magor -s> Malach -s> Marach!

luthien-elvenprincess 09-11-2004 09:22 AM
