Anyone? The Ringbearer I refer to bore the One Ring. But he was never mentioned by that name. That should be clue enough.

Please? Answer?

Finwe · 01-18-2004, 09:43 PM

The only "bearer" of the One Ring, whose name has an even number of letters, is Sauron. Am I right with that, at least?

The Perky Ent · 01-18-2004, 10:38 PM

Question Finwe, doesn't Gollum have an even number of letters? But then, i'm not sure if he was called a "bearer" of the One. I'll have to check up on that

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-18-2004, 10:57 PM

Quick! Someone's real close!!! Use all the clues! USE ALL THE CLUES!!!

The Perky Ent · 01-18-2004, 11:10 PM

3) Deagol?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-19-2004, 07:59 PM

Ummm...Déagol isn't another name for the Noldor...

Keep trying! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

symestreem · 01-19-2004, 08:52 PM

4) Eldarin. Another name for Quenya, and aran is the Sindarin root for father.

Firefoot · 01-19-2004, 09:12 PM

3)Golug

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-19-2004, 09:15 PM

I love the reasoning, but Eldarin is not an assembly, as I said above.

Keep 'em coming!

EDIT: We have a winner!!!!! Golug it is, Firefoot!

Artificially generating update...

1) Ranga-Unit of measure in Númenórë or Angamandi.
2) Eärendil-The universe tore sick mariner.
3) Golug-Half a ringbearer leads departing ones.
4) Assembly that is Quenya and father.
5) Hollin-Chamber not outside, former Elven land.
6) Aulendil-Maiarin son of Vardamir.
7) Targon-Food-man of the Third Company.

Celebrian · 01-19-2004, 11:13 PM

4) Eärendil?

Could you please explain the meaning of "assembly" again, since I can't seem to find the above post? Thanks.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-20-2004, 08:08 PM

4. That is really not a "cryptic clue," but a proper statement with two quotation marks removed. Put the quotation marks in the proper place, and the answer will hit you like a precision-guided Hellfire.

Vy ze vay, ze assembly is another word for council or fellowship. Or a meeting. In some place, private or public.

OK, I'll stop now...

Finwe · 01-20-2004, 08:40 PM

Mereth Aderthad?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-20-2004, 08:50 PM

That's a negative, Star who cannot die.

Finwe · 01-21-2004, 07:07 PM

4) Boromir? Council of Elrond?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-21-2004, 08:18 PM

Never! It requires translation!

Finwe · 01-21-2004, 10:27 PM

Ok... so it's a council, and it's in Quenya, right?

Wait... nooooo....

could it be, Heren Istarion??

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-22-2004, 07:13 PM

Wow. Nearer and nearer. They're in the same league as your answer, but it's like the professionals compared to the amateurs.

So, then...anyone?

Finwe · 01-23-2004, 11:40 AM

The White Council?

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-23-2004, 07:04 PM

Máhanaxar, where the Council of the Valar met? It's Quenya, but I can't see any "father" connection. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-24-2004, 03:02 AM

Don't frown, Sauce. Even if your answer is wrong.

Still, I'll "reword" the question for all:

Assembly that is Quenya "and father."

That should clear things up...

Oh...my...Eru!

I've been so infernally stupid!

It's Aratar!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-25-2004, 08:50 PM

Guess that wraps up this case...wait - the password's still hidden!

1) Ranga-Unit of measure in Númenórë or Angamandi.
2) Eärendil-The universe tore sick mariner.
3) Golug-Half a ringbearer leads departing ones.
4) Aratar-Assembly that is Quenya and father.
5) Hollin-Chamber not outside, former Elven land.
6) Aulendil-Maiarin son of Vardamir.

Right, at least we've gotten somewhere. Someone, anyone, care to take a shot? I'm far too mentally exhausted to deal with Elenrod's nasssty, trickssssy password. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-26-2004, 10:48 PM

Wow! I'll take that as a compliment...

But where's my password?! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Turambar · 01-27-2004, 08:43 AM

Is the Password a Scramble (anagram) of the first letters, or something else?

Firefoot · 01-27-2004, 03:22 PM

Stupid, fat password. If it's not an anagram of the first letters I've been wasting a lot of time. As far as I can tell they don't make anything. My brain is fried. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Celebrian · 01-27-2004, 10:09 PM

The password letters look like A GERTHA (a rune)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-27-2004, 11:36 PM

It's not an anagram...it's something like transposition...you know, like, shifting... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Turambar · 02-03-2004, 07:56 AM

This Password is fading. How about a better description of what "transposition" means ? I tried moving forward or backward one letter (R becomes S or Q, E becomes F or D, etc.); that doesn't work.

Finwe · 02-03-2004, 07:32 PM

Yes, indeed. We could use more hintses.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-03-2004, 10:23 PM

OK, maybe "transposition" is the wrong technical term...the clues are in the exact same position, but the password is hidden in another place, away from the initial letters. It's in a straight line...

R A N G A
E A R E N D I L
G O L U G
A R A T A R
H O L L I N
A U L E N D I L
T A R G O N

There! *points at monitor* Do you see it? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Finwe · 02-04-2004, 08:31 AM

Angainor? The chain that bound Morgoth?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-04-2004, 09:09 PM

Wow! There's another word there? Angaino's there, too? An oversight on my part.

By the way, it's wrong! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-04-2004, 09:13 PM

No, wait. That's right... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Finwe · 02-04-2004, 09:31 PM

Hmm.... since I'm not exactly feeling up to the challenge, after a brain-numbing Password like that, mine is going to be remarkably easy. So, in the interests of all, I'm going to defer my right to a better person. (In layman's terms, someone else can go.)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-04-2004, 09:58 PM

Mind numbing? You heap too much praise upon me. *blushes*
