One Thing in Common
In this game, you must identify the one thing in common for the persons (or things or places) in the list. Of course, there may be more than one thing in common and the quizzer may not have thought of all of them. Quizzer's discretion as to whether alternate answer will be accepted.
Let's get started. What do the following characters have in common?
Maybe I should rephrase what I meant by "one thing in common". These characters have something in common that is not shared with other characters (from LOTR). It's a "5-man out" question. (Game idea from CBC Radio show "Definitely Not the Opera". They have a sound clip quiz, where you must identify what all the sounds - music, news soundbites, sound effects, etc. - have in common. Usually something in the news. Maybe this game would work better with 5 quotes - not necessarily dialogue - from the book.)

I dont wanna be anoying but you can figure out millions of things that they have in common.
Take mine here for example. They can all walk. Eh? Sorry... |
Well, I was thinking of something significant in the various plotlines of LOTR. ALL of the characters can walk.
But I give that you may be right - this game might not work out. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Maybe I should rephrase what I meant by "one thing in common".

I pretty sure its a good game and a good idear - I just dont get it - I mean I tried but I can figure it out [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] could you give us a small hint???
|
They all defied authority?
|
OK. This is rather tough.
HINT #1 Plot or Action Related. Each of these characters are involved in a similar situation. Sometimes this plot device is used as a cliff-hanger and sometimes just to add suspense. |
Concealed identity?
|
Is it that each of them loses consciousness during a battle ?
|
I don't recall Pippin or Gorbag having hidden identities. So that's not it.
Turambar has almost got what I have in mind. It's not the unconsciousness of the characters. And I'm not sure that Gorbag did pass out. And other characters did lose consciousness . Merry, Faramir? By considering Hint #1 re: suspense, cliff-hanger, you should get it. HINT #2: It has to do with how certain other characters and/or the reader view(s) these characters in those "battle situations". Whether it's for an instant or for many days/pages. |
Why the heck have you added me to your ignorelist, lostgariel [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] . I wanna mail you!
Sorry... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
OK. I guess another hint is in order. I don't think anyone is having any fun with this. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
HINT #3: A. Faramir almost fits into this list. B. See the post by Amarylis, November 13 in The Books II, Favourite Part? Favourite Book? C. “The report of my death was an exaggeration.” - Samuel L. Clemens |
Ok I think S.L. Clemens gave it away [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
They were all presumed dead at some time or another: Pippin at Morannon Frodo at Kirith Ungol + in The Chamber of Mazabul Eowyn at Pelennor Gandalf in Moria Gorbag in the Tower of Kirith Ungol [ November 16, 2001: Message edited by: Telchar ] [ November 16, 2001: Message edited by: Telchar ] |

My headache's making this difficult [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] but...didn't they also think that Faramir was dead when he was laid out with his father????
|
Yes! Telchar got it. They were all presumed dead at some point in the story. Faramir was only presumed to be dying and better off dead by Denethor.
Whew! I apologise to everyone for ever starting this aggravating game! Play on! |
Hador
Curufin Aragorn Beren Turin |
All in love with an elf? sorry it's late and my mind is fuzzy
|
Hmmm - I never heard of Hador being in love with an elf - at least thats not it - [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
|
sorry. I don't know then. (hangs head in shame...)
|
Curufin - an Elf? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
|
Does it have something to do with serving another person?

A good guess Beregond, but its not that simple - think along different lines - and forget family and blood.

Is it that Hador is the only one with blonde hair?
WHICH of my posts has a hint, enigmatic dwarf? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] |
Ignore my previous post -- I forgot this is "One Thing in Common", not "Odd Man Out".
|
I has nothing to do with the Silmarils - it has however something to do with items ....
|
A wild guess: they all had something important crafted by Telchar the Dwarf-smith?
Aragorn had Narsil, Beren had Angrist, and Curufin, Hador and Turin all held the Helm of Dor-Lomin at some point (if my memory serves me correctly [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]). |
Very good Elenhin! Curufin of course held Angrist that Beren took from him. Proceed, Please [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
|
Thanks, Telchar, and sorry for the delay... I had completely forgotten this thread.
Isildur Echtelion Anarion Amroth Brandir |
Im lost...
BtW Ecthelion of Gondolin - right??? and Anarion son of Isildur??? |
Ecthelion of Gondolin, Ecthelions of Gondor... they're almost the same, when it comes to this list - but it'll help you find the right answer if you'll think of the Ecthelions of Gondor.
I meant Anarion son of Isildur, but there most probably is a connection to Tar-Anarion, the eighth king of Numenor as well. |
Okay, I have a zillion possibilities, except Brandir keeps getting in the way.
They all ruled Minas Anor / Minas Tirith for a time? Each had one (surviving) son? Each was slain treacherously? - Let us know the answer ASAP. I have a phenomenally good question! - Cirdan/Maglor68 |
Sorry, no.
Don't think of the persons that much - think of their names. (Also, think of Gondor.) |
is it that they all delt on numeinor at a time
|
They were all rulers of their people?
[ January 13, 2002: Message edited by: Elrian ] |
Still no...
What do the names of these people have in common with Gondor? |
They are all namerelated to place names in Gondor
Isildur ---> Minas Ithil Echtelion ---> The Tower of Ecthelion Anarion ---> The land area Anarion Amroth ---> Dol Amroth Brandir ---> Tol Brandir |
