The Matching Game!
 

i'm not sure if someone has made a game like this but i'll try
In this game you match the things/places/people that are in common
eg:
Saruman-Sauron
Gandalf-Aragorn
also whuld like explanation!

Aragorn
Echthelion 2 (steward)
Gandalf
Thorin Oakensheild

This...really doesn't make any sense. It sounds just like word association.

Ah, is it Aragorn - Ecthelion II, (During Ecthelion's rule Aragorn, disguised as Thorongil, served Gondor.)

Gandalf-Thorin Oakenshield (Gandalf accompanied Thorins company)

I agree.

...Or One Thing in Common
Try it and see if that's the game you're thinking of.

well the first person who tried got it wrong and i'l ltry and explain it a little bit better

you put down any number of people/things/places in a listed form and you must put them together in a order in which they match. it doesn't have to be the same thing, it just has to be able to match

I may just be dense (I doubt it), but I still don't understand. Can you give us another example, or tell us the answer to the current problem and explain how you arrived at the answer?

Nerindel had got it right so i think he/she knows what to do

[img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] does this help? find the matched pairs in the list and what connects them:
Example:
Frodo
Éowyn
Bilbo
Faramir

Answer
First pair: Frodo and Bilbo,
connection: both ring-bearers

Second pair: Éowyn and Faramir,
connection: they married after WR.

Try this one:
Cirdan
Thorin
Gandalf
Smaug

oh and its she Gil-galad [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Gandalf and Cirdan: Both wore Narya, the Ring of Fire.

Thorin and Smaug: Both were resident in the Dwarven Halls under the Lonely Mountain (at different times, of course [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

Righto Saucepan man [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] your turn.

yah thats how its suppsoe to go! thanks for the help Nerindel

No problem Gil-Galad [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

OK, here's one:

Boromir
Denethor
Finarfin
Lenwe

I've got the first connection, the second's a real stretch, but I'll take a shot at it.

Lenwe (of the Nandor) was the father of Denethor (the first lord of the Laiquendi in Ossiriand).

Boromir (of Ladros) was given his land by a Lord of the house of Finarfin (namely Finrod Felagund)

-Sophia

Hmm, Sophia, there's no sneaking a question past you.

A stretch it may be, but you are correct. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Alrighty... *rubs hands together* I like this game Gil-Galad [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hurin
Elendil
Oromendil
Denethor

Sophia

i would say that


Hurin-Denethor- both stewards of Gondor

Elendil-Oromendil- Related?

er... *grimacing*

Thinking of a different Hurin, and not the obvious Elendil either.

You're quite close though

Sophia

Hurin - Denethor, they were both decieved by their enemy, Hurin by Morgoth and Denethor by Sauron?

Elendil - Oromendil, both of the faithful?/or kings of Numenor?

Nope [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] keep trying...

I'll try...
Hurin of the Keys served Denethor II and
Oromendil, a Númenorean nobleman was King Tar-Elendil's cousin.

Exactly [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] did you change your avatar Annun? I loved it [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Sophia

Really? I mean you liked the book? Why I like it too but I thought of trying other avatars for a change. I'll probably have different one for each day now that I found a whole bunch that I like! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] But the book will most likely make a come-back... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Oh, and a new question is coming up right after I have thought of one. I just had to comment upon this avatar issue... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ok, here we go:

Rían
Gildor
Barahir
Dior

[img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

The [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] doesn't bode well, but I'll give it a try.

Barahir - Gildor: Gildor was one of the 12 companions of Barahir in Dorthonion.

Rian - Dior: The children of both (Tuor and Elwing) sailed to Valinor.

Well, consider the first connection solved [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] but you need to work on the second one... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Dior - Rían, Dior's Daughter (Elwing) married Rían's grandson (Eärendil)?

Nerindel, your answer is as correct as was Saucepan's, but I'm looking for something else. You need to widen your perspective - considerably. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Dior was attacked and killed by the sons of Feanor
Rian Great grandmother of Elrond and Elros who were attacked and captive by the sons of Feanor

Rian-> Dior: the only mortals whose children were immortal.

Elwing, daughter of Dior, went to Valinor with Earendil.

Tuor, son of Rian, went to Valinor with Idril.

Earendil, the only other logical candidate, was actually the son of two immortals, Idril and Tuor.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] still a stretch, but I like this game.

Sophia

Estanesse and Sophia: great answers and sorry I kept you waiting. But alas! No right answer yet. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ok, when I said you need to widen your perspective I meant you need to think of another Dior...

Edit: Sorry Estanesse...

dang i have no idea

its been ten days so i can go now

Elros
Turgon
Elrond
Aragorn

Greetings! Kimli at your service! I thought I would give this a try.
Turgon is the great grandfather of Elros
Elrond is Aragorn's father in-law

nope


Edit: just a side note, aragorn is like Elronds GRAND nephew becasue he is realted to Elros, Elronds brother

[ May 23, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

need a hint?

Aragorn and Elros, distanly related, became Kings of Men.

Turgon and Elrond, both rulers of "Hidden" places and both had daughters who married mortals.

you are correct with Turgon and Elrond and close enough with elros and aragorn so, good job! your up!!!

Thank you [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Turgon
Aragorn
Dior
Thingol
Emeldir
Tuor

Dior- Thingol, both were slain over the Silmaril.

Emeldir-Tuor, both led their people out of danger to safety

Turgon-Aragorn, I have no idea what their connection might be, but I liked the other two so I decided to post anyway [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
