The Quote Game - Part 5

[Sister Golden Hair]

Here we go with part 5. The same rules apply as before.

Basically, you take a quote and remove every second letter, and put a slash between words. Whoever identifies the last element, be it quote, speaker, or both posts the next one.

example: A_l/_h_t/_s/_o_d/_o_s/_o_/g_i_t_r

answer: All that is gold does not glitter, Gandalf's letter (or Bilbo Baggins)

Anything from The Hobbit, LOTR, the Silmaillion, or Unfinished Tales is fair game.

Suggestions for posting:
Some gamers find this method best, fastest, easiest and most accurate. When you've found your quote, type it all in without blanks, simply using the '/' instead of a space, as well as before and after each punctuation mark. Just after a punctuation mark can be a convenient place for a carriage return, if the spacing looks good. After typing, check for spelling and to see that all the words are correct. Then go through and replace every other letter with an underscore '_' - this goes quickly if you use the 'forward arrow' key to advance, use the 'delete' key and then add the underscore where the letter was.

Oh - and we try our best to solve the quotes without looking them up.

Valandil solved the last quote, so Val, it's your turn.:)

[Valandil]

Thanks SGH... will try to post one within two hours from this post. :)

[Valandil]

OK - for starters:

"W_a_/!/O_e/_f/_h_s_/s_m_l_t_n_/d_w_/i_/t_e/_h_r_/?

[Radagast The Brown]

"What! One of these/s_m_l_t_n_/down in the Shire? What use in/_a_t_/, or under it, could he possible be?
Let him smell as he was, he would never dare to come

[Artanis]

"What! One of these simpletons down in the Shire? What use on earth, or under it, could he possible be?
Let him smell as he may, he would never dare to come
within smelling distance of the/_a_e_est dragonet /_e_/
from the/_h_l_!"

[Valandil]

All Artanis's words are correct. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

What about 'new from the shell'?

[Valandil]

yes... one more word & speaker :)

[Valandil]

To re-post at current state:

"What! One of these simpletons down in the Shire?
What use on earth, or under it, could he possible be?
Let him smell as he may, he would never dare to come
within smelling distance of the/_a_e_est dragonet new
from the shell!"

It's been a couple days... anyone looking for a hint?

[Radagast The Brown]

Weeeee.... :D With the help of my dictionary (hmph. It took some time) and my common sense (do you know how many words can be placed in '_a_e_est'?) I made it - is the word 'nakedest'? :)

Speaker is Thorin?

[Valandil]

'nakedest' is correct! :D

Thorin is not... :(

I'll give you a hint though... it's another Dwarf.

So... guess the Dwarf! ;)

[Radagast The Brown]

Gloin then. From UT, I suppose? (It was or him or Balin in the meeting with Gandalf)

[Valandil]

Gloin it was! Your turn... :)

[Radagast The Brown]

[Valandil]

"It is old, very old, So old that almost I
feel young again, as I have not felt since
I journeyed with /_o_/c_i_d_e_/. It is old and
full of memory. I would have been happy here,
if I had come in /_a_s/ of /_e_c_."

[Radagast The Brown]

Everything is correct unntil now Val. :)

[Valandil]

Oh... is it 'you children' and 'days of peace'?

Is it Legolas?

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct.

[Valandil]

[Valandil]

'recall' and 'need' are not correct - otherwise yes.

So we need two words and speaker.

[Sister Golden Hair]

"befall" and "deed?"

[Valandil]

Words all correct... got a speaker? Need a hint?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Yes, hint please.:)

[Valandil]

One of the fellers they called, '... the Tall' ;)

[Sister Golden Hair]

Maedhros?

[Valandil]

Nope... think Human...

Remember the 'three times three' rhyme?

[Radagast The Brown]

What about Galdor (the Tall)? Although I don't remmeber him saying that... or anything when I think about it. :p

[Valandil]

Wasn't Galdor... there was one other Human who was called that.

And the rhyme is about him, not said by him. About him and two sons, actually. ;)

[Radagast The Brown]

Elendil. (you gave the answer. I wanted to get there by myself :p)

[Valandil]

Correct Rad - your turn. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Ok:

[Artanis]

company

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct. Only the speaker is left.

[Artanis]

Hmmm - Gandalf, perhaps?

[Radagast The Brown]

No. :)

[Valandil]

Bobo? Er, I mean... Bilbo?

[Radagast The Brown]

Nope.

[Beren3000]

Is it Aragorn during the journey to Weathertop?

[Radagast The Brown]

No, Beren. Do you want a little hint?

[Rían]

Sounds like Boromir the Bossypants ...

[Radagast The Brown]

Nope. :) A hint then? It's a dwarf.

[Count Comfect]

That is starting to sound like a Hobbit quote to me. Maybe Thorin?

[Radagast The Brown]

Not Thorin.

[Valandil]

Gimli?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes, that's correct Val. Your turn. :)

[Valandil]

4 - escaping, secret
5 - high-road

and it's Merry?

[Valandil]

Rad - your 'is one' is not correct.

All Rian's adds are right. :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

Is this a mistake?

/_i_d/_o_r/is one/Q_/

[Valandil]

Not on MY part... just that the 'is one' is wrong! :p

It's a LITTLE unusual, but I didn't expect it to toss you guys TOO badly... ;)

[-elfearz-]

*edit* (cross-post with SGH :p)

[Valandil]

Good job SGH... all correct on the quote. Got me a speaker? :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

Good job SGH... all correct on the quote. Got me a speaker? :)It's Merry isn't it? I think Rian already gave the speaker.

[Valandil]

It's Merry isn't it? I think Rian already gave the speaker.

You're right, I missed that. *smiley pointing finger to his head* :p

Your turn then, SGH. :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

Okay, I'll find one to put up in a bit. I have to work some with these new controls and the cp. I hate change. :(

An easy one folks. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

"It is indeed unhappy, and I would weep, if
I were not so weary. But hold my/b_a_e_e_s/
on this, and in all that has came after."

[Sister Golden Hair]

Wrong words: "my" "on" "has" and "came"

[Valandil]

"... But hold me blameless in this, and in all that may come after." ??

Got no idea about the speaker

[Radagast The Brown]

"It is indeed unhappy, and I would weep, if
I were not so weary. But hold me blameless
in this, and in all that had come after."

[Sister Golden Hair]

Val is correct. Now all we need is the speaker.

[Rían]

It's Miriel, innit?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Yeppers! Your go Rian. :)

EDIT - oops, had two letters in a row- but I'm gonna leave it! I'm not re-doing the whole quote!

[Radagast The Brown]

"For of Beren and Luthien has born Dior Thingol's heir;and of him
Elwing the white whom Earendil wedded, he that sailed his ship
_u_/of the/_i_t_/of the world into the/_e_s/of heaven with the
Silmaril upon his/_r_w./And of Earendil came the kings of Numenor,
that is Westerne_s_."

[elixir]

he that sailed his ship out of the

Silmaril upon his brow

that is Westernesse

:rolleyes:

EDIT: Maybe it's was born instead of has born...

[Rían]

Rad - all right but one word, and elixir corrected it.
Elixir - all right.

two words and speaker left :)

[-elfearz-]

um..birth? seas? :confused:

[Count Comfect]

width of the world?

[Beren3000]

All I can add is that the speaker is Aragorn

[-elfearz-]

hope Rian doesn't mind, but I looked it up coz I thought it might have all been solved.
Everything's right except 1 word: _i_t_ of the world
:)

[Valandil]

'mists' ? (ADD: wow - now all post have to be at least 10 characters... but this should do it! ;) )

[-elfearz-]

yeps..mists :)

[Rían]

Nope, I don't mind - I'm easy - whatever keeps the game going!

Yes, "mists" it is, and speaker is Aragorn.

I think that makes it Val's turn!

[Valandil]

Oops! Mist it... er, uh - MISSED it! Sorry.

If I haven't posted within 30 minutes, someone else can take it. :o

[Valandil]

[Beren3000]

"That may well be, then the years have ....you.
...though you are yet small you have the makings of a valiant man, worthy to be a son of Hurin the Steadfast, of that ...."
The speaker is Lahgal or Labdal or something like that (the lame servant in Hurin's household)

[Radagast The Brown]

"That may well be, when the years/_a_e/_n_r_a_e_/you/.
Now though you are yet small you have the makings of a valiant man,
worthy to be a son of Hurin the Steadfast, if that were possible."

Speaker is Beleg?

[Valandil]

Beren:

'then' is wrong in the first line, 'of' is wrong in the third, speaker is not 'Labadal'

You are correct otherwise though. :)

[Valandil]

Rad - you're correct and so's Beren's 'have' - so only one word left

[Sister Golden Hair]

"increased"

Is the speaker Sador? (sp)

[Valandil]

'increased' is correct SGH... and Rad already gave 'Beleg' as the speaker, so there's no sneaking out of posting the next quote by naming the wrong guy! ;) :p (tricky... tricky!)

[Sister Golden Hair]

"F_r_b_d_/n_/m_r_./D_a_h/_n/_h_/w_l_/i_/c_r_a_n;/

_l_/y_u_/w_r_s./_e_d/_e/_t_l_/o_!"

[Count Comfect]

Is the starting word Forbode? That's the only word I can think of that fits those letters.

[Sister Golden Hair]

That is correct Count.

[Rían]

"F_r_b_d_/n_/m_r_./D_a_h/_n/_h_/w_l_/i_/c_r_a_n;/

Forebode no more. Death in the wild is certain;
and death at the gate is yet in doubt to me, for
all your words. Lead me still on!

Is it Boromir?

[Sister Golden Hair]

The quote is correct Rian. The speaker is not Boromir.

[Artanis]

RÃ*an! This is Tuor your son speaking to Voronwë! :p ;)

[Sister Golden Hair]

That's it Artanis. Your turn.

[Artanis]

"I_/m_g_t/_e/_o./_u_/o_r/_r_a_/o_/s_r_n_t_/i_/n_t/_e_/c_m_./

"It might be so. But our /_r_a_/o_/s_r_n_t_/ is not yet come.
And if words spoken of old be true, not by the hand of man shall he fall,
and hidden from the wise is the doom that awaits him.
However that may be, the Captain of /_e_p_i_/ does not press forward, yet.
He rules rather according to the wisdom that you have just spoken,
from the rear, driving his slaves in /_a_n_s_/ on before."

[Artanis]

All correct so far Val.

[Valandil]

OK... first two missing are 'trial of' and the last is 'madness'

speaker is Gandalf, I think...

[Radagast The Brown]

'But our /_r_a_/of strength is not yet come.'

'Captain of Despair'

'madness'

[Rían]

RÃ*an! This is Tuor your son speaking to Voronwë! :p ;)
Whoops! :o :o :o

(it reminded me of Boromir speaking against going to Moria!)

Throw soggy lembas at me! :o


working from the bottom - missing words: madness, despair


EDIT - whoops, I see I crossposted with some other people...

[Artanis]

Hehe, sorry RÃ*an, you were too late! :)

Val and Rad, everything is correct.
Rad solved the last words. Go on Rad! :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Okay...

"I_/t_i_/b_/j_s_/,/t_e_/i_/i_/t_o/_i_t_r/_o_/l_u_h_e_/./

[Artanis]

If this be jest, then it is too bitter for laughter. Nay, it is the last move in a great jeopardy, and for one side or the other it will bring the end of the game.

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct. :) Only the speaker is left.

[Radagast The Brown]

No guesses anyone? :confused:

[Beren3000]

Hints, please? Is it the Sil. or UT?

[Radagast The Brown]

It's in LotR. I can't believe you 'mooters don't know it. But I guess it's more obvious to someone who already knows the answer.

[Count Comfect]

OK, I'll take a stab at it... Elrond?

[Beren3000]

I don't know....Denethor? :confused:

[Radagast The Brown]

No, not Elrond or Denethor.

[Valandil]

Gandalf?

[Radagast The Brown]

No. Another hint - it's a man.

[Valandil]

Aragorn? (sounds like something from 'The Last Debate')

[Radagast The Brown]

YES! Aragorn from the last debate, in the last page I think. :) Your turn. I have to go to sleep... the flight and all. See yah.

[Valandil]

Merc... glad to have you join in the game... but we generally refrain from 'multiple-choice' solutions in a given post. Rian - your adds were correct except 'Elendil' - spaces are correct as given. Will attempt to update:

"The crown and royalty of Gondor belongs solely to the heirs of /_e_e_d_l/,

[Beren3000]

"The crown and royalty of Gondor belongs solely to the heirs of Meneldil, not of Anarion, to them Isildur relinquished this realm. In Gondor this ...is weakened through the ...only; and we have not heard that the law is otherwise ...."

This is (IIRC) the letter sent to Arvedui refusing his claim to the throne of Gondor. (You and your appendix stuff, Val :D)

[Valandil]

You filled in some more blanks, but some of your words were wrong. Let me re-post - and show your post below it with wrong words in bold:

"The crown and royalty of Gondor belongs solely to the heirs of Meneldil,
/_o_/ of Anarion, to /_h_m/ Isildur relinquished this realm. In Gondor this /_e_i_a_e/ is /_e_k_n_d/ through the /_o_s/only;
and we have not heard that the law is otherwise /_n/_r_o_."

The crown and royalty of Gondor belongs solely to the heirs of Meneldil, not of Anarion, to them Isildur relinquished this realm. In Gondor this ...is weakened through the ...only; and we have not heard that the law is otherwise ...."

[elixir]

son of Anarion, to whom

In Gondor this heritage is /_e_k_n_d/ through the sons only;

[Valandil]

Added words are correct elixir - and I'll take Beren's answer for the speaker, since it was not one single person... we're told it was The Council of Gondor. Update:

"The crown and royalty of Gondor belongs solely to the heirs of Meneldil,
son of Anarion, to whom Isildur relinquished this realm. In Gondor this heritage is /_e_k_n_d/ through the sons only;
and we have not heard that the law is otherwise /_n/_r_o_."

[Mercutio]

"The crown and royalty of Gondor belongs solely to the heirs of Meneldil, son of Anárion, to whom Isildur relinquished this realm. In Gondor this heritage is reckoned through the sons only; and we have not heard that the law is otherwise in Arnor."

It starts with "The Council of Gondor answered..."


Someone else can pick up the game and post another quote.

[Valandil]

Now, now Merci... if you finish the quote, you're supposed to post! :)

And did you lookee-lookee it up? :eek: :D :p Shame on you! But I did that MY first time too! :o ;) (didn't know we weren't supposed to)

Would you LIKE to try it then? Or do you want to surrender the floor? If the latter, don't make a habit of always solving the quote and leaving someone else to post, OK? :) I can give you some tips on posting if you'd like to try.

[Mercutio]

*raises small white flag*


Go ahead go ahead. :)

[Thain Peregrin Took I]

Does anyone mind if I join when the new quote is put up?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Does anyone mind if I join when the new quote is put up?Not at all Thain. :)

And will someone go please? Valandil, you're on now. C'mon. :p :)

[Valandil]

Not at all TPT... everyone is free to play. Welcome to the game! :)

[Thain Peregrin Took I]

Thanks! So is Valandil going to post the new quote?

[Carafin]

I think perhaps if everyone is welcome, I will join as well... :)

[Fat middle]

Of course you're welcome! :)

Now let's see if Val puts that quote :rolleyes:

[Valandil]

Heehee... well, Merc solved my last and surrendered the floor... so the first one to get a quote posted is welcome to go.

If nobody has by then, I'll try to post in another two hours or so. :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

Two hours! :eek: Hey FM, it's been awhile for you. Why don't you go? :D

[Thain Peregrin Took I]

If FM doesn't want to, I could try.

[Sister Golden Hair]

If FM doesn't want to, I could try.You're more than welcome to. :)

[Valandil]

OK, here goes. Hey SGH, I've said some of the following several times... could you please just add it to the initial post in this thread?

Suggestions for posting:
Some gamers find this method best, fastest, easiest and most accurate. When you've found your quote, type it all in without blanks, simply using the '/' instead of a space, as well as before and after each punctuation mark. Just after a punctuation mark can be a convenient place for a carriage return, if the spacing looks good. After typing, check for spelling and to see that all the words are correct. Then go through and replace every other letter with an underscore '_' - this goes quickly if you use the 'forward arrow' key to advance, use the 'delete' key and then add the underscore where the letter was.

Oh - and we try our best to solve the quotes without looking them up. :)

OK, without further delay:

Not much. I'll have to think about the rest of them.

[Valandil]

Rad, wrong words:

Line 2: 'we'
Line 3: 'we' 'near'
Line 4: 'that'
Line 5: 'as' 'while' 'land'
Line 6: 'young'

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

"S_r_n_e/indeed. In that hour I looked on Aragorn and thought how great and terrible a/_o_d/he might have become in the strength of his will, had he/_a_e_/the Ring to/_i_s_l_/.

[Valandil]

Meriadoc,

Nice try. 'Never shall that line fail' is correct... otherwise, look to Radagast's attempt.

We generally try only one speaker at a time, but neither of those you offer is correct. :)

[Beren3000]

"Strange indeed. In that hour I looked on Aragorn and thought how great and terrible a lord he might have become in the strength of his will, had he taken the Ring to... Not for naught does Mordor fear him. But (cooler?) is his... than the ....of Sauron; for is he not of the children of Luthien? Never shall that line fail, though the years may lengthen beyond count."

Is the speaker Legolas?

[Fat middle]

Forget it... :rolleyes:

[Valandil]

Beren, you're correct except the 'cooler' :p :D ;) - and yes, Legolas is speaking. Since we changed pages, I'll update:

"Strange indeed. In that hour I looked on Aragorn and thought how great
and terrible a Lord he might have become in the strength of his will,
had he taken the Ring to /_i_s_l_/. Not for naught does Mordor fear him.
But /_o_l_r/ is his /s_i_i_/ than the /_n_e_s_a_d_n_/ of Sauron;
for is he not of the children of Luthien? Never shall that line fail,
though the years may lengthen beyond count."

[Carafin]

"Strange indeed. In that hour I looked on Aragorn and thought how great
and terrible a Lord he might have become in the strength of his will,
had he taken the Ring to /himself/. Not for naught does Mordor fear him.
But /nobler/ is his /spirit/ than the /_n_e_s_a_d_n_/ of Sauron;
for is he not of the children of Luthien? Never shall that line fail,
though the years may lengthen beyond count."

I cannot get that word, I keep thinking wickedness which obviously doesn't fit

[Valandil]

The 3 you solved are all correct though... one more word! :)

[Carafin]

"Strange indeed. In that hour I looked on Aragorn and thought how great
and terrible a Lord he might have become in the strength of his will,
had he taken the Ring to /himself/. Not for naught does Mordor fear him.
But /nobler/ is his /spirit/ than the /understanding/ of Sauron;
for is he not of the children of Luthien? Never shall that line fail,
though the years may lengthen beyond count."

Maybe? it took a while!

[Valandil]

Yes Carafin... 'understanding' is correct! Your turn. :)

Is this your first time playing the game? If so, you'll see some suggestions for posting quotes in my initial post for this last quote - as well as the first post in this thread.

Welcome to the Quote Game!

Not that much, but it's a guess. Doubt everything is right.

[Beren3000]

I would also add that the speaker is Barliman Butterbur (wolly-footed and wool-pated are his choice phrases). Am I right?

[Carafin]

Meriadoc everything you have is right, except honored.
Beren3000, it's not Barliman
keep guessing! good job Meriadoc

[Valandil]

"You rascals, you woolly-footed and wool-pated /_r_a_t_/! A fine

battle and death, to rescue you! And here we find you feasting and

Where did you come by the weed, you villains?"

Speaker: Gimli! :)

[Count Comfect]

truants, idling?

[Thain Peregrin Took I]

I think that's right, Count Comfect.

[Carafin]

yep, you're right Count Comfect. (sorry to everyone, for the long gaps between posts) and Valandil, the speaker is Gimli, good job!

[Count Comfect]

Well, I guess, since I got the last parts, that makes it my turn.

[Artanis]

[Count Comfect]

The quote is now correct. The speaker, however, is not Galadriel.

[Artanis]

Arwen?

[Count Comfect]

Yes. Your turn, Artanis.

"Now I won't make so bold as to suggest you should come to the Common Room tonight. You'll be tired; and there isn't many folk there this evening, anyway. But if you would shake me half an hour before you go to your beds, I would dearly like to have some talk with you, /_u_e_/-like by ourselves."

Barliman Butterbur

[Beren3000]

But if you would shake me half an hour
I think it's rather if you would spare me half an hour.
And, is the final word "quiet"?

[Valandil]

I think it's rather if you would spare me half an hour.
And, is the final word "quiet"?

:o

You're probably right. :D

[Artanis]

I think it's rather if you would spare me half an hour.
And, is the final word "quiet"?It's 'could spare me half an hour', but that's nitpicking. And it's 'quiet' all right. :)

Your turn Beren.

[Beren3000]

Thanks :D
Here goes:
"_h_/ _r_/_o_/ t_a_/ _o_e/ _i_h_r/ _s/ a/ t_i_f/, / a_d/ _n_i_d_n/ _a_e/ _o/ _p_r_a_h/ _y/ t_r_n_/?"

[Artanis]

Who are you that come hither as a thief, and unbidden dare to approach my / t_r_n_/?

I have no idea who said that. :(

[Beren3000]

:eek: Whoa! that was fast. *looks more closely* ooh! You still have one word left and the speaker :p
If you need a hint, submit some guesses first.

[Sister Golden Hair]

The missing word is "throne?"

Is this Thingol speaking to Beren?

[Beren3000]

:(:(:(
Go ahead and post, SGH.
*runs off to cry in a corner*

[Sister Golden Hair]

Why does it cry precious?:)

"I/_i_l/_o_e./_f/_h_/M_n_b_r_/f_l_s,/_i_h_r/_h_l_/
w_/f_e_/f_o_/t_e/_a_k_e_s?"

[Valandil]

"I will come. If the Mundberg falls, wh(?)ither shall we flee from the Darkness?"

Theoden

[Sister Golden Hair]

My mistake Val. Yes, the word is "whither." Also, it's "Mundburg" with a "u":)

Everything is correct, but the speaker is not Theoden.

[Beren3000]

*comes out from the corner, eyes all red*
Is the speaker Eomer?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Nope, not Eomer.

[Beren3000]

Aragorn?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Not Aragorn.

[Count Comfect]

Gandalf, maybe?

[Sister Golden Hair]

No, not Gandalf.

Hint- The quote is out of UT and the guesses of Theoden and Eomer were closer

[Valandil]

Erkenbrand?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Nope.

[Beren3000]

Is it the Rohirrim king that helped Gondor during the invasion of the wainriders? (I have no name though).

[Valandil]

Aha! Not the Wainriders... the Balchoth! Was it Eorl?

[Sister Golden Hair]

It was indeed Eorl. Your go Val.:)

[Valandil]

Sorry for the delay... I'll have to just post a short one.

"I/_m/_e_n_/e_t_n/_l_v_/!/M_d_e_a_e_/!
/_h_r_/a_e/_o_e/_i_g_s/_h_n/_a_e_!"

SGH - what threw me off of Eorl was talking about 'Mundburg' - since he brought the Eotheod to the battle at Celebrant. However, I guess he was still rescuing 'Mundburg' - or Minas Tirith, as it may have fallen if they'd lost that battle. Also... maybe he didn't know just where he would encounter the enemy when he agreed to come from the north. :)

[Beren3000]

"I am being eaten alive!....
There are more (ridges?) than..."

[Valandil]

Beren,

Your words are correct except 'ridges'! :)

[Beren3000]

Are the missing words "Midgewater", "midges" and "water" respectively?
And is the speaker Sam? ;)

[Valandil]

Beren - your quote is correct, but Sam was not the speaker. :)

(he was more the uncomplaining sort)

[Radagast The Brown]

What are all these tiny quotes lately? People are gettign lazy. :p

Is it Merry?

[Beren3000]

Or Pippin?

[Valandil]

Pippin it is!

Raddy... watch who you're callin' lazy! :mad: You don't want me to give you a 15-second ban now, do you??? :evil:

;) :p

[Radagast The Brown]

Pippin it is!

Raddy... watch who you're callin' lazy! :mad: You don't want me to give you a 15-second ban now, do you??? :evil:

;) :pNo.( :eek: ) Still, it used to be long and hard, now it's little, and it's much harder to find the speaker this way - while the quote is fairly easy.

(btw I thought it's Pippin and somehow wrote Merry. And that's not an excuse! :p)

[Beren3000]

(btw I thought it's Pippin and somehow wrote Merry. And that's not an excuse! :p)

I was going to say I'll post later tonight, but if you've got a quote to post before that, be my guest :)

[Beren3000]

Ok...since RTB didn't post, here it is:

" I / _i_l/ _i_g/ _o_/ a/ _o_g/ _f/ _h_/ m_i_e_ /_i_r_d_l/, /w_o/ _o_e/ t_e/ _a_e/ n_m_/ _s/ t_e/ _t_e_m/ b_s_d_/ _h_c_/ s_e/ _i_e_ /l_n_/ _g_./ I_/ _s/ _/ f_i_/ s_n_/ i_ /o_r/ _o_d_a_d /_o_g_e/; /_u_/ t_i_ /i_ /h_w /_t/ _u_s /_n /_h_ /W_s_r_n/ _p_e_h,/ _s /_o_e /_n /_i_e_d_l_ /n_w/ _i_g /_t."

The speaker is pretty obvious, but that's the best I could come up with for now.

[Radagast The Brown]

" I will sing you a song of the/ m_i_e_ /Nimrodel, who/ _o_e/ the same name as the stream beside which she/ _i_e_ /long ago. It is a fair song in our /_o_d_a_d /tongue; but this is how it/ _u_s /on the Westren speech, as some in Rivendell now sing it."

[Beren3000]

Rad. all words correct so far. It's actually Westron not "Westren", but it's ok.
Any guesses re the speaker.

[Earniel]

Raddy... watch who you're callin' lazy! :mad: You don't want me to give you a 15-second ban now, do you??? :evil:
;) :p

Val's getting powerhungry, powerhungry powerhungry, Val's getting ... ;)

"I will sing you a song of the maiden Nimrodel, who bore the same name as the stream beside which she lived long ago. It is a fair song in our /_o_d_a_d /tongue; but this is how it runs on the Westren speech, as some in Rivendell now sing it."

[Radagast The Brown]

Yup, your turn Rad.

Speaker: Galadriel.

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

Last 3 words are: far, hence, and road. Correct?

[Artanis]

'The blade that is drawn from this sheath shall not be stained or broken even in defeat. But is there aught else that you desire of me at our parting? For darkness will flow between us, and it may be that we shall not meet again, unless it be far hence upon a road that has no (?) returning.'

Sauron the deceiver. You can almost see why the Celebrimbor fell for those pretty words.

[Beren3000]

"Alas, for the weakness of the great!
For a mighty king is Gil-Galad, and wise in all lore is Master Elrond,
and yet they will not aid me in my labours.
May it be that they do not desire to let other lands become as blissful as their own?
But therefore should Middle-earth remain for ever desolate and rank,
whereas the Elves could make it as fair as Eressea, nay even as Valinor?
And since you have not returned thither, as you might,
I perceive that you love this Middle-earth,as do I.
Is it not then our task to labour together for its enrichment,
and for the raising of all the Elven-kindreds that wander here untaught to
the delight of that _o_e_ and _n_w_e_g_/which these have who are beyond the Sea?"

The speaker is obviously Sauron, to the Elves of Eregion.
Thanks for taking the time to write this, Arty. It was challenging! :) Can't figure out these 2 words though :mad:

EDIT: I solved the whole thing, just happened to cross-post with Earniel. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Heh. :p :D

Took me some time and apperently some people finished first... last word is 'knowledge'.

[Valandil]

'power'?

[Artanis]

There were just two errors:

But _herefore should Middle-earth remain ...
.....and for the raising of all the Elven-kindreds that wander here untaught to
the /_e_g_t/ of that power and knowledge which those have who are beyond the Sea?

Yes, Annatar was indeed looking and speaking fair, mixing truth with lies.

[Radagast The Brown]

Wherefore? And weight?

[Artanis]

Wherefore is correct, but it's not weight. :)

[Beren3000]

Is it "height"?

[Artanis]

Yep, height it is!
Good work, all of you! :)
Your go then Beren.

[Beren3000]

Thanks! :D
First, please take a moment to admire my beautiful bride, Luthien, who just deigned to give me a mini-pic of her to put in my avvy, then:

"Y_t/ _f/ i_/ s_a_d_/ b_t/ _/ l_t_l_/ w_i_e/,

I personally think this quote is one of the most pivotal and "defining" that Tolkien ever made (sorry, Rad. Perhaps not long enough for your taste ;) )

Enjoy :)

[Radagast The Brown]

"Yet if in/ s_a_d_/ but a little while, then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and men. This I /_a_ /to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though he/ _a_t/ here /_o_/ even, and I shall not look on your white halls again, from you and from/ _e/ I now/ _t_r/ shall arive. Farewell!"


I suppose I have many wrong ones.... It didn't go well... anyway, it's long enough, yes - I was talking about the 2 short lines people did in the last few pages. :)

[Beren3000]

Ok here's where you went wrong:
first line: "in"
second line: "he", "even" and "halls"
third line: "I", "now" and "arive". Other wise all correct.

Update:
Yet if i_ / s_a_d_ but a little while then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and men. This I /_a_ /to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though _e/_a_t/ here /_o_/ e_e_/, and I shall not look on your white _a_l_ again, from you and from/ _e/_ /n_w/ _t_r/shall a_i_e/. Farewell!"

"Yet if it stands but a little while then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and men. This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we wait here for ever, and I shall not look on your white _a_l_ again, from you and from me a new star shall arise. Farewell!"

With some help. :)

[Beren3000]

"wait" is wrong. All correct otherwise.

[Artanis]

Are the missing words 'part' and 'walls'?

It is Huor speaking to Turgon at the Nirnaeth. It is a beautiful moment of sacrifice. A good example on how hope can grow out of sorrow.

Nice Luthien pic, Beren. Anke Katrin Eissmann, isn't it? :)

[Beren3000]

Bingo! Your turn, Artanis. (Indeed it is Anke Katrin)

crap???

[Artanis]

Very good. The only wrong word is 'crap'. :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

"clay?"

[Artanis]

Correct!
And the speaker is .... ?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Sounds a little like that Ted Sandyman fellow. :confused:

[Fat middle]

Surely not, but just thought of Thorin in UT.

[Artanis]

Thorin is correct! Your go, Gordy. :)

[Fat middle]

Then it was Thorin the Godfather :p

Well, let's try this one:

[Artanis]

"Well, if you really want my advice, I should say we can do nothing but stay where we are. By day we may no doubt _r_e_/o_t/_a_e_y/enough to dare the air.
Perhaps before long one or two could be chosen to go back to the/_t_r_/by the
river and _e_l_n_s_/our supplies. But in the meanwhile everyone ought to be well inside the tunnel by night."

[Valandil]

'creep out barely'
'_t_r_'???
'replenish'

S: Bilbo

[Fat middle]

Bilbo is right :)

Very good you two. There was one word wrong in Arty and another in Val. her's what you have:

"Well, if you really want my advice, I should say we can do nothing but stay where we are. By day we /_a_/ no doubt creep out /_a_e_y/ enough to dare the air.

[Sister Golden Hair]

"can" "warely" and I want to say "store" but that doesn't seem right. :confused:

[Fat middle]

"can" "warely" and I want to say "store" but that doesn't seem right. :confused:
Can and store are right :). Warely is wrong, though.

What's the problem with store?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Is the last word "safely?"

I don't know FM, "store" just didn't seem like... welll...like a Tolkien word. :)

[Fat middle]

Is the last word "safely?"

Yes, safely is right, so it's your turn :)

BTW, It's not a Tolkien word at all, it is a Bilbo word ;)

[Sister Golden Hair]

"Then those /_e_d_/ wrought woe /e_i_/ to all.
And where else might I have better bestowed my kin,
even had I come sooner? For if the Girdle of Melian be

Let Melian keep them! And I will leave them in peace
u_s_a_o_e_/ for a while.

Sounds like 'Turin'

[Sister Golden Hair]

Turin it is Val.

The only word you have wrong is "woe"

[Radagast The Brown]

'then those deeds wrought not evil to all'

'shadow'

'unshadowed'

[Beren3000]

Is the long word "wheresoever" and the one after it "come"?

[Fat middle]

and the remaining word should be "cast" :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

Well done guys. It's your turn FM. :)

[Fat middle]

That's the way I like it: just guessing the last word :p

Okay, new quote:

Have fun.

"Hail Earendil, of mariners most renowned, the looked for that cometh at unawares, the longed for that cometh beyond hope! Hail Earendil, bearer of light before the Sun and Moon! S_l_n_o_r of the Children of Earth, star in the darkness, jewel in the sunset, radiant in the morning!"

My guess to the speaker: Eonwë, the herald of Manwë?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

And the last word is Splendour
