Odd King/Queen Out
 
Well, this is just like any other O _ O. There's a list of different Kings and or Queens, and by guessing, you have to figure out which one is the odd one out. An example would be
Quote:

What is the Odd King Out?

Thranduil
Finwe
Feanor
Gil-Galad
Fingolfin
Dain


The answer would be Dain, because he's the only dwarf king in the batch! Get it? Good, because here's the first set:

Turgon
Ar-Pharazon
Thingol
Elessar
Morgoth


Have fun!

Morsul the Dark 07-24-2004 10:27 PM

morgoth is the only maia or valar

The Perky Ent 07-24-2004 10:28 PM

Melkor was a valar, and the strongest I might add. Anyway, no, you've got the wrong man (valar) ;) Keep 'em comming

Morsul the Dark 07-24-2004 10:32 PM

i knew it was melkor darn get those two confused
and melkor is my favorite valor as well

Lyta_Underhill 07-24-2004 10:38 PM

Ar-Pharazon is the only one whose name is in the Adunaic form? :D (Also the only one who ruled off the shores of traditional Middle Earth (Numenor)). Or, if I may be allowed to guess further, Elessar would be the only King who died a natural death, as Morgoth is cast into the void, and Thingol, Turgon and Ar-Pharazon killed in the sacking of their respective realms.

Cheers,
Lyta

The Perky Ent 07-24-2004 10:41 PM

...um...Morsul? Melkor and Morgoth are the same. Melkor is his name as a Ainur. Morgoth (Black Enemy) Bauglir (The Constrainer) is the name the elves gave him after he stole the simarils and went into middle earth. They are one in the same.

The Perky Ent 07-24-2004 10:42 PM

AR-Pharazon wasn't killed in his sacking. He caused it, but wasn't there. Never-the-less. You're wrong on all counts.

Morsul the Dark 07-24-2004 10:44 PM

then stop confusing me grr...ok now i understand im a high rookie when it comes to ME knowledge so anyway
elessar was the only one to control an army of dead folk?

The Perky Ent 07-24-2004 10:46 PM

nope.

Wow, what happened to Ar-Pharazon, then? He got to Aman and they said "go back!"? ;) (I do admit incomplete knowledge here!) Oh course, that means that perhaps the one who did not see the Blessed Land (Elessar) could be the odd one out...Morgoth, Turgon, Thingol, Ar-Pharazon would have all seen it then...

Cheers!

Morsul the Dark 07-24-2004 11:04 PM

or it could be elessar as he is the only one to marry a person of another race

Actually, Thingol (Elda) married Melian (Maia), so that would make two of them!

I don't like this thread lol it makes me feel dumb well at least you saved perky the time of telling me in wrong.

Don't worry, Morsul! I often feel dumb in these threads; I just don't have the courage to play as often as you do! I'm just guessing really, and Eru help me if I get it right, 'cause I don't have a clue what I'd ask next!

Cheers,
Lyta (just having fun on a late Saturday night!)

Morsul the Dark 07-24-2004 11:16 PM

well thank you
I feel the same way I don't know what to ask if i get it right
Morgoth?
the only one to be evil?

The Perky Ent 07-25-2004 12:25 AM

There's a thread in...I believe it's the books that states what happens to Ar-Pharazon and his men. Some say he was killed, others say he fell into a everlasting sleep on the shores of Tuna. Anyways, yes, these are hard, but you learn a lot. Btw, all wrong so far. Here's a hint: Time will tell

Lhunardawen 07-25-2004 01:08 AM

This is the first time I'll ever post in the Quiz Room...

Elessar is the only one who was not around during the First Age.

The Perky Ent 07-25-2004 09:39 AM

really close, but no.

Morsul the Dark 07-25-2004 06:07 PM

elessar (aragorn correct?) was the only king at the beggining of an age

The Perky Ent 07-25-2004 06:14 PM

You're burning hot, inches from it, but not there!

Morsul the Dark 07-25-2004 06:32 PM

alright Ellessar the only king to live through the end of one age into another

The Perky Ent 07-25-2004 06:34 PM

Back it up. You were on the right track, but it looks like you just stopped at the gas station to ask for directions! Try again

Morsul the Dark 07-25-2004 06:40 PM

the only king whose crowning marked the beggining of a new age?

Checks road map he said take a right onto Bedrock where's Bedrock?

The Perky Ent 07-25-2004 06:45 PM

Close, but no. It's more general

Take a right turn al Albuquerky, then travel east for 10 miles. You'll see a sign saying "Bedrock in 20 3/4 mi"

Morsul the Dark 07-25-2004 06:50 PM

hes the only one in the fourth age?

The Perky Ent 07-25-2004 06:51 PM

You have reached your final destinaiton! Correct! your go!

Morsul the Dark 07-25-2004 06:54 PM

Melkor

Aragorn

Sauron

Super Duper easy

Lhunardawen 07-25-2004 07:23 PM

Aragorn is not a bad guy.

I could be wrong.

Morsul the Dark 07-25-2004 07:58 PM

:eek: how ever did u guess? :) go ahead

Lhunardawen 07-25-2004 08:20 PM

Wow! My first time to ask...ever! Here goes:

Elendil
Fingolfin
Gil-galad
Fingon


There are a lot of answers, but I just have one in mind. Guess away!

Morsul the Dark 07-25-2004 09:46 PM

eledil has a phial named after him thew light of elendil

Lyta_Underhill 07-25-2004 10:22 PM

All in the Family
 
Quote:

Elendil
Fingolfin
Gil-galad
Fingon
I suppose one could say they are all related! But that wouldn't be an odd one out, would it? Fingolfin->Fingon->Gil-Galad (direct relations) and Fingolfin->Turgon->Idril->Earendil->Elros->lots of Numenorian kings->Elendil

Ok, it IS a crackpot answer, I know, but I had fun posting it! :D

Cheers!
Lyta

Fingolfin II 07-26-2004 01:54 AM

Morsul, that's the light of Earendil :p. I'll go for the obvious one and say it was Elendil because he was the only Man?

Morsul the Dark 07-26-2004 02:00 AM

I knew light elendil sounded wrong but i couldn'tfigure :rolleyes: out why hehe thanks

The Perky Ent 07-26-2004 09:48 AM

Fingon was the only one not killed by a "lord of darkness"

Lhunardawen 07-30-2004 08:58 PM

I'm sorry for being away for so long...

Fingolfin II, I knew that that answer would be too obvious, so no.

...And Perky Ent got it right! Your turn.

The Perky Ent 07-31-2004 10:59 AM

OK Here's the next:

Fingolfin
Elessar
Isildur
Ar-Pharazon



It's easy, I guess!

Morsul the Dark 07-31-2004 05:43 PM

fingolfin is the only one not in isildur's line

Fingolfin II 07-31-2004 07:24 PM

Elessar is the only King who ruled in times of peace?

Gil-Galad 07-31-2004 07:52 PM

Elessar was only name given to person, others were originals
