Quote Game-Part 6

[Valandil]

"When the Valar gave to us the land of gift they did not make us their vice-regents; we were given the /_i_g_o_/ of Numenor, not of the World.
They are the Lords. /_e_e/_e/_e_e/_o/_u_/a_a_/ hither and /_a_;
/f_r/_a_/w_s/_n_e_,/a_d/_o_g_t_/ thrust forth from Arda.
So I deemed, and so was taught."

[Artanis]

All correct except 'hither'.

[Count Comfect]

kingdom, were we...

[Artanis]

'kingdom' and 'we' is correct.

"When the Valar gave to us the land of gift they did not make us their vice-regents; we were given the Kingdom of Numenor, not of the World.
They are the Lords. /_e_e/we/_e_e/_o/_u_/a_a_/h_t_e_/ and /_a_;
/f_r/_a_/w_s/_n_e_,/a_d/_o_g_t_/ thrust forth from Arda.
So I deemed, and so was taught."

[Count Comfect]

Here we were to?

[Artanis]

Yep. :)

[Count Comfect]

run away?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

For, was, Morgoth

[Count Comfect]

for day was ended, and Morgoth...

[Artanis]

Wrong words are 'run' and 'day'.

"When the Valar gave to us the land of gift they did not make us their vice-regents; we were given the Kingdom of Numenor, not of the World.
They are the Lords. Here we were to /_u_/ away /h_t_e_/ and /_a_;
for /_a_/ was /_n_e_,/ and Morgoth thrust forth from Arda.
So I deemed, and so was taught."

[Count Comfect]

so not "ended" either?

put away hatred and war, for war ...?

[Artanis]

Oh yes, 'ended' is right! Sorry CC.

Quote is correct now. Anyone make a guess about the speaker?

[Count Comfect]

Elendil?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Amandil?

[Artanis]

Not Elendil and not Amandil.

[Valandil]

Tar-Atanamir? (or is it 'Atanimir'?)

[Artanis]

I had to look up Atanamir Val because I'm not as learned as you in the kings of Numenor. But no. it's not him. :)

[Valandil]

Yes - I wanted to change my answer a little later (but was away and couldn't get back on), because I think I put it into context.

Is it Tar-Meneldur - father of Aldarion, talking to his son?

[Artanis]

Yep, it's Tar-Meneldur. He's not talking to his son though, he's talking to himself, wondering whether he should prepare for war or not.

[Valandil]

"Y_u/_i_l/_e/_e_r_/,/m_/l_r_/,/a_t_r/_u_h/_a_t_/.

[Beren3000]

I haven't played this game in a long time :)

"You will be heard, my lord, after such _a_t_ .
A guest room is made ready for you, when you will.
My women will wait on you. If you are cold, call for fire."

No idea as to the speaker...

[Valandil]

'heard' is wrong - which leaves 2 words + speaker

[Beren3000]

Could it be "merry" instead of "heard"?

[Count Comfect]

party?

[Valandil]

neither 'merry' nor 'party'

[Beren3000]

"weary" and "haste"?

[Valandil]

Both words are correct - we just need our speaker

[Radagast The Brown]

Aldarion?

[Valandil]

No - Aldarion didn't say it.

[Radagast The Brown]

I meant.. Erendis to Aldarion?

[Valandil]

Correct - your turn, RtB!

[Radagast The Brown]

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

beregond is yonder speaker, perchance?

[Radagast The Brown]

'light' is wrong... everything else, inclueding the speaker is correct.

[Sister Golden Hair]

"sight"?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

sight?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yeah.. SGH got it first... so it's your turn. :)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

finarfin is in the first line

[Sister Golden Hair]

finarfin is in the first lineYes, but there are a lot of other words too. :p :D

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

"Daughter/of/the/house/of/Finarfin,/let/no/grief/le/

why, this must be gwindor, that thrall escaped

[Sister Golden Hair]

That was too easy. :p

Your go Chrys. :)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

That was too easy. :p

Your go Chrys. :)
you just have to sit and think for a bit

i will post a new one in a moment, gotta select an appropriately hard one :p

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

[Valandil]

"To this I will be true, and we shall be wedded
when you bring me to a land of peace."

S: Luthien??

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

quote is right, not luthien

[Beren3000]

Is it Idril?

[Valandil]

Or perhaps... Nimrodel??

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

nimrodel it is

[Valandil]

"I_/y_u/_a_e/_o_/h_a_d/,/_/t_i_k/_e/_i_l/_o_/s_e_k/_e_/o_/t_a_/e_t_e_/.

[Beren3000]

"If you have not heard, I think we will not speak yet of that e_t_e_.
Master Elrond will summon us all ere long, I believe, and then we shall all hear many things. But there is much else that may be told."

The speaker is Gandalf, of course.

[Valandil]

Sorry - it isn' Gandalf, but you're all correct with the words you tried.

One word and speaker left.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

either and bilbo

[Valandil]

'either' is correct - Bilbo is not the speaker

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

then lets go with gloin

[Valandil]

Gloin it is! Your turn Chrys. :)

Scanning several days ago, I found two quotes of his that I wanted to use right on the same page - so I used one first and used this now.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

"N_t/_a_/e_o_g_/!/A/_o_p_e/_f/_e_t/_n_/y_u/_o_l_/h_v_/d_o_p_d/

[Earniel]

it in/_o/the /b_a_/. Try/_g_i_/. I won't suppose the/_a_i_/is/
s_r_n_/e_o_g_/to/h_r_/you, if you just/t_u_h/a bit of/_e_/rope."

[Artanis]

Not far enough! A couple of /_e_t/ and you would have dropped it on to the /b_a_/. Try again. I don't suppose the /_a_i_/ is strong enough to harm you, if you just touch a bit of /_e_/r_p_/.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Not far enough! A couple of /_e_t/ and you would have dropped it on to the /b_a_/. Try again. I don't suppose the /_a_i_/ is strong enough to harm you, if you just touch a bit of /_e_/r_p_/.
all good there, arty

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Second word is boat. Last word is rope.

Speaker is Bilbo

[Count Comfect]

feet, ?, wet

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

all right now

just one word to find

[Radagast The Brown]

'magic' maybe?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

'magic' maybe?
you are right indeed that you are

"Slow should you be to? wind that horn again, Boromir, until you stand once more on the borders of your land, and /_i_e/_e_d/ is on you."

[Count Comfect]

dire need? Elrond?

[Valandil]

Good finish CC! I looked it up to check you and it's all correct now - if you'd like to go ahead (RtB likely being in bed and all...) :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Yeah... CC is correct. Sorry about that word ('the' instead of 'to')

[Count Comfect]

Ok then.

[Sister Golden Hair]

Good job. Just one word wrong. Here's what you have right.

"Against the coming in of evil I/_a_/do much, but
against the going out of those who will go, nothing. That /_s/_o_r/_a_t./If she is to be held here, you must

[Count Comfect]

can, is your part. maybe.
Melian?

[Sister Golden Hair]

can, is your part. maybe.
Melian?"can" is incorrect. Everything else is right including the speaker. Just that one little word left. :)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

may the missing word perchance be 'may'?

[Sister Golden Hair]

may the missing word perchance be 'may'?It is indeed. Your go Chrys. :)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Just a short one for now

"I_/i_/m_n_/,/I/_e_l/_o_/./M_/o_n/./

It is mine, I -e-l-o-. My own. My precious. Yes, my precious.
all right so far

[Count Comfect]

feel now?

Bilbo?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

feel now is wrong
bilbo is right

[Beren3000]

"tell you"

P.S. I won't be able to post a new quote before tomorrow, so if LCoU confirms, my turn is available for takers; otherwise, I'll post tomorrow.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

"tell you"

P.S. I won't be able to post a new quote before tomorrow, so if LCoU confirms, my turn is available for takers; otherwise, I'll post tomorrow.
you are right

[Beren3000]

Here is my quote as promised:

"_r_l_ /,/ W_t_r / _s / _e_o_e / _o_ / f_i_e_ / t_a_ / m_ / h_a_t / _m_g_n_d /, / _e_t_e_ / h_d / _y / _e_r_t / _h_u_h_ / c_n_e_v_d / _h_ / s_o_f_a_e /,/ _o_ / i_ / a_l / _y / _u_i_ / w_s / _o_t_i_e_ / t_e / _a_l_n_ / o_ / t_e / _a_n /./

Hopefully, this will last for a while :)

[Valandil]

"Truly, Water is before you fairer than my heart imagined, neither had my
/ _e_r_t / thought conceived the snowflake, nor in all my / _u_i_ / was
/ _o_t_i_e_ / the falling of the rain. I will seek Manwë, that he and I may make melodies for ever to thy delight!"

[Beren3000]

All good except "before you"

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

ulmo is speaker

[Beren3000]

Ulmo is correct, Chrys

[Count Comfect]

become now, secret?

[Radagast The Brown]

'music' and 'contained'... and I remember it being here before already. :)

[Beren3000]

All good; take it away, RTB!

and I remember it being here before already
:o As I said, it's been a long time since I played this game.

Not sure if there are mistakes here; I'm doing this in darkness as my isster went to sleep and I'm in her room.

[Valandil]

Well... I was afraid you had abandoned the game - and was about to post one. Let's hope 'isster' was your only typo in that last post! ;) :p

"It was a /c_t_/, the /_h_e_/c_t_/ of Gondor, of which this was only a /_o_t_e_s/. For that is the /_u_n/ of Osgiliath /o_/e_t_e_/ side of Anduin, which /_u_/e_e_i_s/_o_k/ and barren long ago. /_e_/ we won it back in the days of the /_o_t_/ of /D_n_t_o_/: not /_o/_w_l_/i_/, but no good is in /_u_s_o_/, and to /_e_u_l_/ the /_r_d_e/_o_/ the passage of our arms. And then came the /_e_l/_i_e_s/_u_/ of Minas Morgul."

[Beren3000]

"It was a city, the chief city of Gondor, of which this was only a fortress. For that is the ruin of Osgiliath on either side of Anduin, which our enemies took and burned long ago. Yet we won it back in the days of the youth of Denethor: not to dwell in, but to hold as an (outpost?), and to rebuild the bridge for the passage of our arms. And then came the fell riders out of Minas Morgul."
I believe the speaker is Beregond.

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct Beren. :)

[Valandil]

OK - you guys are being WAY too slow about this, so I'm going to stick one in:

[Beren3000]

OK - you guys are being WAY too slow about this, so I'm going to stick one in:
Sorry about this, Val; but I have a good excuse this time: it was my graduation yesterday, so I couldn't post at all. :o I was going to post today.
Anyway:

"Your oaths of fealty to me you may break, but I must hold my word.
Yet if there be one on whom the shadow of our curse has not yet fallen, I should find at least a few to follow me, and should not go hence as a beggar that is thrust from the gates."

Is the speaker Isildur?

[Valandil]

Hee-hee - no apology needed Beren, I was just 'giving you a hard time' :p - I've been slow a few times myself. But we used to play this game where if the solver didn't post after several hours, someone else would just post one to get it going.

You're all correct on the quote, but the speaker wasn't Isildur. Got another try? :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Denethor?

[Valandil]

No - not Denethor

[Beren3000]

Turgon?

[Count Comfect]

Turin?

[Valandil]

Neither Turgon nor Turin

[Sister Golden Hair]

Whew - seems like a toughie and I'm just swamped at work - so I can't hang around trying to take it any further. :( :mad:

All is correct Val, except for "my" :)

[Count Comfect]

by good chance we

Correct CC.

Hey, I did not cheat :p it's just my favorite line from the BBC radio (kept entirely in that version).

Quote is correct, Val.

It is not attributed to Dori.

[Radagast The Brown]

Bilbo?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

is it just a generic 'the dwarves' or something as such?

[Count Comfect]

LCoU is correct. :) your go

"Other tasks call me, lord, and much/_i_e/and many/

that/_e/_y/_a_e/./"
Verily do I say Yea! All words thusly given have been correct, RtB.

[Valandil]

"Other tasks call me, lord, and much time and many
perils must pass, ere I come again to Gondor, if
that be my fate."

that would be 'Thorondor' - aka Aragorn! :D

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

take it away, val :D

[Valandil]

Thanks... but OOPS! :o I was away most of the day and realized while I was out what I had typed in - but that Aragorn's correct pseudonymn was "Thorongil"! :p

"G_t/_o_/g_n_/a_d/_l_/!

[Count Comfect]

Get you gone and fly! For here is a fire that shall consume you, and all evil things.

Gandalf?

[Valandil]

Quote is correct CC - but speaker was not Gandalf.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

aragorn perchance be'eth the speaker?

[Valandil]

No - not Aragorn

[Radagast The Brown]

Beren?

[Valandil]

Yes RtB - it was Beren! Your turn. :)

Faramir?

[Valandil]

No - wait...

"He calls, but you cannot come to him yet. For he must seek healing
of the threshold of death, and maybe find it not.
Whereas your part is to go but to the Master of the City,
where maybe death awaits you.
This you know in your heart."

I don't think it's Faramir anymore, but I'll stick with that answer for now anyway. :)

[Count Comfect]

Gandalf?

[Radagast The Brown]

Everything except 'Master' is correct... and 'of' after 'seek healing'.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

it's on the threshold of death and aragorn speaks thusly? and maybe mantle of the city?

[Radagast The Brown]

Gandalf is correct, so there's no need to guess the speaker...

and mantle is wrong.

[Valandil]

Oops - transposed that 'e'.

Let's try... battle?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yup... battle it is. Your turn Val.

"Because I believed you to be/_n_e_d/Luthien Tinuviel, of whom I was singing.

Aragorn's pick-up line to Arwen, if I'm not mistaken.

[Beren3000]

"indeed", "she" and "bask in her"

[Valandil]

"pick-up line" hee-hee! Guess I never tried THAT one! ;) :p

Putting it together, you two have it covered, except that 'bask' is not correct. So... one word left to solve. :)

[Count Comfect]

walk...


If that's right, I feel cheap.

[Valandil]

Sorry about your feelings CC - but you are correct. :p Your turn... :)

[Count Comfect]

*sigh* I shouldn't come in when there's one word. *sigh* Anyway

"My cousins! Bombur and Bifer - we have forgotten them, they are down in the valley!"

Bofur?

[Count Comfect]

"Bifer" is wrong. So is the speaker. All else is correct.

"My cousins! Bombur and /b_f_r/ - we have forgotten them, they are down in the valley!"

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

missing word is bofur
speaker is bifur

[Count Comfect]

Yep.

[Valandil]

Yeah - I figured I was about 50-50. :p

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

val can take that, i don't really have the time :D

[Valandil]

No ye don't - I'm out for about 5 days.

Now... do your duty! :evil: :p

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

nope, no can do i'm afraid, i have university applications all over the next week, no time, really!!

someone else then, RtB always chooses good quotes...?
...or maybe CC again...?

:D :p

[Radagast The Brown]

I'll do it...

Is that Treebeard?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yeah, your turn.

[Beren3000]

Cool. For once I can post quickly:

Let me see you solve THAT :cool: ;)

[Beren3000]

Come ON, people! No takers at all?

[Earniel]

"_e_ /,/ h_l_-b_o_h_r /! This is / _h_r_e_ / that thy / _o_g_e /. /

[Akallabeth]

"_e_ /,/ h_l_-brother! This is / _h_r_e_ / that thy / _o_g_e /. /

This is certainly difficult. The bold are the words I attempted. I won't be suprised if I'm wrong.

[Beren3000]

Actually the bold words are correct, Akallabeth. Between the two of you, you have 3 words wrong: "that", "home" and "any". So far we have:

"_e_ /,/ h_l_-brother! This is / _h_r_e_ / t_a_ thy / _o_g_e /. /
_r_ / but once more / _o / _s_r_ / my place and the _o_e of my father, and maybe it will / _i_ / the / _o_d_r / of _n_ who seeks to be the /_a_t_r / of / _h_a_l_ /."


P.S. Welcome to the moot, Akallabeth! :)

[Radagast The Brown]

"See, half-brother! This is / _h_r_e_ / than thy / _o_g_e /. /
Try but once more to / _s_r_ / my place and the love of my father, and maybe it will / _i_ / the Noldor of one who seeks to be the master of /_h_a_l_."

Feanor?

[Beren3000]

All good, there, Radagast! :)

[Count Comfect]

usurp?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

"See, half-brother! This is / sharper / than thy / tounge /. /
Try but once more to / usurp / my place and the love of my father, and maybe it will / rid / the Noldor of one who seeks to be the master of /thralls."

Tounge was spelt wrongly, but that is how I remembered it.

[Beren3000]

Correct, TD. Your turn!

Here it shall stand at the tip-point of the Kingdom of the South in the keeping of the Valar, while the Kingdom endures; and this place shall be a hallow that none shall profane. Let no man disturb its silence and peace unless he be an heir of Elendil."

[Valandil]

'tip' is wrong - and we need a speaker, otherwise you're all correct.

Were you just not interested in completing the solution? :p

[Beren3000]

Were you just not interested in completing the solution? :p
I don't know what you're talking about :p ;)

[Radagast The Brown]

Finee... :( ;) 'mid'?

[Valandil]

'mid' is correct - quote solved! speaker anyone?

[Radagast The Brown]

FINE! :D Cirion? (from UT, Cirion and Eorl?)

[Valandil]

Not Cirion. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Right. Isildur then? I was quite sure it's Cirion for some reason.

[Valandil]

Isildur is correct - your turn! :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Are you sure it's not Cirion? :D

grief, as is your wont, say
I'm not going to guess the speaker because I don't have that much access to the internet right now and will not be able to post a quote quickly...

[Radagast The Brown]

The quite is correct - only the speaker left/.

[Valandil]

Oh geez! It's the guy who's guarding the road when Gandalf comes into Gondor with Pippin... don't remember if it's at the outworks or further from the city. What IS his name?? :p

[Lotesse]

I thought it was Theoden, then started thinking it was Eomer, now I REALLY don't know...

[Radagast The Brown]

It's neither Eomer nor Theoden... and Val is right. Of course, he "forgot" his name... ;)

[Valandil]

No - I honestly don't remember the names of a lot of the minor characters who just get a couple lines. If I knew it, I'd (probably) have said it! :p

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Ingold?

[Radagast The Brown]

No - I honestly don't remember the names of a lot of the minor characters who just get a couple lines. If I knew it, I'd (probably) have said it! :pYeah, I actually did believe you. :)

It does, it does... and 'The Hobbit' is also an acceptable source, although this one is not from there.

All your words are correct so far.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

See, dear.
S: Aragorn

[Valandil]

See, dear.
S: Aragorn

Correct on those - three words now left.

[Radagast The Brown]

'Thingol' and 'once'. Not sure what the last word is..

[Valandil]

Those two words are correct though - so one word left. :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

"desired"?

[Valandil]

That's correct - your turn SGH! :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

My bad! When I posted the last word, I didn't anticipate that I may not be able to put up another quote for several days. I will be away and hopefully but uncertian if I will be back on Tuesday. I will have internet access, but will not have my books. :(

Feel free to continue. Sorry about that folks. :(

[Count Comfect]

EDIT: Hmm, that's really odd. About 5 posts popped up from nowhere right as I posted an already answered answer... knew my connection was screwy, but not that screwy.

Carry on.

You are correct Beren - Aragorn is the speaker.

And don't feel too badly - I think the others are just dodging the resopnsibility of posting the next quote. :p

[Rían]

Aragorn, ay? *innocent look*

[Valandil]

Well, I knew the speaker, and I was going to say, but I figured I would just give someone else a chance. You do believe me don't you Val? :p :D

I understand perfectly... like to give the young'uns half a chance now and then myself... yes I do! :p

[Beren3000]

And this young'un is more than happy to oblige ;)

[Rían]

That would be Hurin Thalion :D but I can't think of the "come" replacement word ...

(honestly!)
