Gimli most likely sailed for Valinor from Anfalas with Legolas.

I'm gonna guess that Denethor because he is the only one who died in battle since Sam would have died even in Valinor.

Manardariel · 01-23-2003, 10:04 AM

Which is wrong, since Denethor killed himself. He didn´t die in battle. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ultimatejoe · 01-23-2003, 10:19 AM

Durp... not battle, I mean he was the only one who didn't die of natural causes. Either way I guess it is wrong.

Still, this game would make more sense if you picked problems with only one solution. We've postulated at least three answers which could be true.

Ultimatejoe · 01-23-2003, 10:29 AM

Thinking books... Sam is the only one that writes a book; Denethor, Elrond and Sam all have books, and Gimli knows how to read, but so does everyone else in that list.

mark12_30 · 01-23-2003, 10:52 AM

Elrond
Galadriel
Denethor
Sam
Gimli

Denethor is the only one who died in Middle-Earth as opposed to sailing The Straight Road.

Ultimatejoe · 01-23-2003, 11:00 AM

Someone already tried that. It fits but it isn't 'right' apparently.

mark12_30 · 01-23-2003, 11:02 AM

Well if obtusity is the goal, how about Galadriel is the only female? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Manardariel · 01-24-2003, 12:59 PM

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Another hint- it does´t nececarilly(sp?) have to with their actions... and THINK BOOKS!

mark12_30 · 01-24-2003, 01:21 PM

Galadriel is the only one with no mortal blood of any sort.

Ultimatejoe · 01-24-2003, 02:33 PM

Galadriel is the only one who appears in the appendix?

For the love of god, we've given you like 8 different answers which could be right, just tell us or come up with a list that doesn't have 20 different correct solutions!

Denethor is the only one that doesn't appear before RoTK?

Elrond was the only one who was IN Bilbo's book.

Manardariel · 01-24-2003, 04:45 PM

nope...but you´re on the right trak!

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-24-2003, 08:44 PM

Elrond
Galadriel
Denethor
Sam
Gimli

Sam was the only one who featured in LotR - the others all featured (in one guise or another) in JRRT's other works. Elrond, Galadriel and Denethor (son of Lenwe) all featured in the Silmarillion, And I think the name Gimli was used for a character in another tale?

Manardariel · 01-25-2003, 05:04 AM

Actually I´m talking about Denethor II, Boromir&Farsmir´s dad..... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Pallando B.C · 01-25-2003, 06:03 AM

Settle down, Ultimatejoe.

Manardariel, Denethor is the only one to not feature in the Fellowship of the Ring?

Ultimatejoe · 01-25-2003, 09:11 AM

I don't think my request is unreasonable...

Manardariel · 01-26-2003, 10:19 AM

No... but you´re getting warm...

UltimateJoe, I´m very sorry, but why don´t you try to figure it out anyway??

Beren87 · 01-26-2003, 12:33 PM

Considering the number of characteristics Tolkien's characters have, its almost impossible to come up with a list that doesn't have an answer besides the one that the questionee had in mind.

She's giving us clues, so let us go with them.

[ January 26, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

Pallando B.C · 01-26-2003, 07:08 PM

Sam was the only one not born, when Bilbo's Lonely Mountain adventure took place?

Manardariel · 01-26-2003, 07:43 PM

Nooooooo....wrong direction, Pallando... another hint? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Geez, I never thought it was THIS hard

Beren87 · 01-26-2003, 07:47 PM

Elrond was the only one in the hobbit?

Ultimatejoe · 01-26-2003, 10:37 PM

It's NOT that it's hard; it's too inspecific. Each one of the answers we've provided COULD have been right.

Beren87 · 01-26-2003, 10:44 PM

True, true, but thats what the clues are for.

Pallando B.C · 01-27-2003, 04:12 AM

I think that one has been said before Beren.

Galadriel is the only one to speak, in the Quenta Silmarillion

Manardariel · 01-27-2003, 01:29 PM

No. Something tells me Elrond´s in the Quenta as well, but whatever.

Beren87 · 01-27-2003, 02:03 PM

They all have a chapter named after them except for Gimli?

Manardariel · 01-27-2003, 02:31 PM

YES!!!!!!!! You´ve got it!!!!!!! 100000000000000 Million Dollars to Beren!

Wow-y.
Your turn, my friend [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Pallando B.C · 01-27-2003, 03:35 PM

Only one to speak, remember.

Beren87 · 01-27-2003, 04:07 PM

YES!!! I'm rich!

Finrod
Hour
Fingon
Hurin

They all lived in Beleriand? Just kidding... Finrod is the only one who didn't fight at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.

Beren87 · 01-27-2003, 06:59 PM

Ah, not what I was thinking.

elven maiden Earwen · 01-27-2003, 09:38 PM

bad guess but hurin was the only one not slain in battle [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 01-27-2003, 09:40 PM

Not it. Its something they all encountered.

elven maiden Earwen · 01-27-2003, 09:43 PM

hour was the only one that didnt face morgoth

Beren87 · 01-27-2003, 09:46 PM

Fingon didn't either.

That's not it.

elven maiden Earwen · 01-27-2003, 09:48 PM

fingon only one that faced sauron

Beren87 · 01-27-2003, 09:50 PM

Why don't you give all these guesses at once so I can just say No once? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Ultimatejoe · 01-28-2003, 08:05 AM

Finrod never encountered the Eagles?

Beren87 · 01-30-2003, 04:33 PM

Nope, but your getting there, just not the eagles.

Lindolirian · 01-30-2003, 08:21 PM

Finrod is the only one who has never encountered a Balrog.
