Quote Game-Part 6

[katya]

*Is suddenly tempted to mock everyone who isn't even trying with lines from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Resisting...*

Come on, it's not that hard.

[brownjenkins]

try these (http://www.william-shakespeare.org.uk/a1-shakespearean-insults-generator.htm) (popup warning) :p

i'll start...

"What?/I_/r_d_l_s?/_o!/_o_/I/_a_/t_l_i_g/_l_u_/t_/m_s_l_./A/_a_i_/o_/t_e/_l_:/t_e_/c_o_s_/t_e/

:D

[katya]

Yes. "What" is indeed right. :D

[brownjenkins]

damn, i'm good :p

[Radagast The Brown]

"What?/In/riddles?/No!/For/I/was talking aloud to myself. A /_a_i_/of the/
old: they choose the
_i_e_t/person/_r_s_n_/to speak to; the long explanations needed by the
young are/_e_r_i_g."

[Count Comfect]

last word = wearying

[Beren3000]

"habit", "wisest" and "present"

[katya]

All correct so far. Who's the speaker?

[Count Comfect]

Gandalf

[katya]

Right on! It was Gandalf indeed.

[Count Comfect]

Righto. Makes it my turn then, doesn't it?

"A_s_e_s/_e_e/_o/_e/_u_s_e_/n_t/_i_e_/./"

[Valandil]

Too short to make much out of it...

"A_s_e_s/ were to be outside not /_i_e_."

??? :confused:

"Aussees"?? :p

[Beren3000]

How about:

"Answers were to be guessed not _i_e_ ."

[Artanis]

given?

[Count Comfect]

It is all correct now... speaker?

[Valandil]

Toughie... Gollum?

[Count Comfect]

No sir.

[Valandil]

Then the other contestant... Bilbo?

[Count Comfect]

Indeed.

[Valandil]

OK - gotta dash out for a long day. I'll post, but it's gonna be at least 16 hours. So... if anyone out there is 'hasty', you may go ahead and take it, otherwise I'll post as soon as I'm able. :)

[Valandil]

[Valandil]

On the right track... 'of' and 'paying it' are wrong - other words are correct. :)

[Earniel]

"Keep to the green grass/. Don't go a-meddling with old stone or call Wights or prying in their/_o_s_s/, /_n_e_s/_o_/by/s_r_n_/f_l_/with/h_a_t_/that never/_a_t_r."

[Count Comfect]

cold Wights?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

S: Tom Bombadil

[Beren3000]

"Keep to the green grass. Don't go a-meddling with old stone or cold Wights or prying in their houses, unless you be strong folk with hearts that never falter."

S: Doesn't sound like Bombadil to me... Is it farmer Maggot?

[Valandil]

It is Tom Bombadil - and you got the last pieces Beren, so it's your turn. :)

[Beren3000]

:) Here you go:

“ _r_e /,/ _l_s /,/ _s / _u_ / g_e_s /./ _h_s / _s / _o_ / o_e / _f / _h_ / U_a_r_ /,/ a_ / m_n_ / h_v_ / l_n_ / s_p_o_e_ /./ I_ / i_ / S_u_o_ / h_m_e_f / _h_ / h_s / _a_e_ / s_a_e / _g_i_ / a_d / _o_ / g_o_s / _p_c_ /;/ a_d / _e / _s / _a_h_r_n_ / a_a_n / _l_ / t_e / _i_g_ / t_ / h_s / _a_d /;/ _n_ / h_ / s_e_s / _v_r / _o_ / n_w_ / o_ / t_e / _n_ /,/ a_d / _f / _h_ / H_i_s / _f / _s_l_u_ /,/ i_ / t_e_ / s_i_l / _i_e / _n / _a_t_ /.”

[Artanis]

"True, alas, is our guess. This is not one of the U_a_r_ /, as many have long supposed. It is Sauron himself who has taken shape again and now grows /_p_c_ /; and he is gathering again all the Rings to his hand; and he seeks ever now news of the one, and of the Heirs of Isildur, if they still live on earth."

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Ulari and the speaker is Gandalf.

[Beren3000]

All correct, except "he seeks ever now news..."

EDIT: Ulairi is correct and the speaker is Gandalf :)

[Artanis]

'for' instead of 'now'?

[Beren3000]

Yep, now we only have one word left. :)

[Valandil]

'apace'?

[Beren3000]

Correct; take it away, Val.

[Valandil]

"I/_h_u_d/_h_n_/s_/-/i_/t_e_e/_a_t_/!
/W_/a_e/_l_i_/q_i_t/_o_k/_n_/h_v_/n_/u_e/_o_/a_v_n_u_e_/.

[Beren3000]

"I should think so- if ........
We are ... quiet folk and have no use for adventure.
Nasty uncomfortable things!
Make you late for dinner!
I can't think what anybody sees in them."

Speaker: Bilbo, of course! :D

[Valandil]

'if' and 'adventure' are wrong - the other words and the speaker are correct.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Adventures?

[Rían]

"in these parts"?

[Count Comfect]

_l_i_ is driving me insane now.

[Valandil]

All is correct - just need the one word that is driving CC up the wall! :p

[Beren3000]

How about "plain"?

[Valandil]

"plain" is correct - your turn Beren :)

[Beren3000]

YES!!
:D

Here you go:

" _h_ / K_n_'s / _r_c_ / i_ / g_e_t_r / _h_n / _o_ / k_o_ /,/ a_d / _h_ / l_w / _s / _e_o_e / _e_s / _t_r_ / t_a_ / a_o_e_i_e /;/ _r / _l_e / _o / _h_i_e / _o_l_ / b_ / g_v_n / _o_ / b_t / _o / _b_d_ / _e_e / _o / _o_r / _i_e'_ / e_d /."

[katya]

The King's grace is greater than you know, and the law is ........ or else no choice would be given you but to abide here to your life's end

maybe?

[Beren3000]

All correct!

[Valandil]

"The King's grace is greater than you know, and the law is become less /_t_r_/ than aforetime, or else no choice would be given you but to abide here to your life's end."

[Beren3000]

All good there, Val. :)

[Artanis]

That's Maeglin speaking, and the missing word is perhaps 'stern'?

[Beren3000]

Correct! Your turn, Arty... :)

[Artanis]

Uhh...? Oh, it's MY turn! :o Well, well .... a short one:

"M_n_/B_l_o/_o_s_'t/_a_/a_l/_h_/c_k_s!/
_e/_s/_o_/f_t/_o/_e_/t_r_u_h/_e_-h_l_s/_e_!"

[Radagast The Brown]

"M_n_/Bilbo doesn't eat all the cakes!/
He is too fat to get through /_e_-holes /_e_/!"

[Artanis]

All correct so far! :)

[Lotesse]

The first word's gotta be "Mind"...

[Acran Mern]

Mind/Bilbo doesn't eat all the cakes!/
He is too fat to get through /key-holes /_e_/!

And is the last word "yet"?

[Artanis]

Yep, that's correct! So, who's the speaker?

[Radagast The Brown]

Elves from Rivendell, from the Hobbit?

[Artanis]

That's correct. Your go Rad. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

"I/_o/_o_/k_o_/m_s_l_/f_r/_e_t_i_/./I/_a_/t_e_e/_t/_i_h_f_l_/y_s_e_d_y/,/
_u_/m_c_/m_y/_a_e/_a_p_n_d/_i_c_/./Y_t/_/t_i_k/_h_t/_o_/w_l_/n_t/_a_/

_g_a_o_d/_e/_e_t/_e_i_d/./"

[Valandil]

"I do not know myself for /_e_t_i_/./I/_a_/t_e_e/_t/_i_h_f_l_/ yesterday,
but much may have happened since. Yet I think that you will not say
that this journey was in vain - not though the Glittering Caves of
Aglarond be /_e_t/_e_i_d/./"

[Radagast The Brown]

All ocrrect till now Val..

[Count Comfect]

last word "denied"?

[Radagast The Brown]

No...

[Count Comfect]

for certain. I was there at...?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes! 3 words and speaker to go..

[Beren3000]

"nightfall" and "left behind". Is the speaker Gandalf?

[Radagast The Brown]

All correct... your turn beren. :)

[Rían]

(rats! both the wheel and the quote game are stalled!)

[Valandil]

Kick-start for a great game:

"N_y!/_o_/E_v_s/./_l_e_/d_/n_t/_a_k/_n/_t_i_i_n/_n/_h_s_/d_y_/.
/A_d/_l_e_/a_e/_o_d_o_s/_a_r/_o/_o_k/_p_n/,/_r/_o/'_i_/s_i_."

[Curubethion]

"Nay! Not Elves. Elves do not walk in Ithilien in these days. And elves are wondrous fair to look upon, or so 'tis said."
This was Faramir's line, right?

[Valandil]

All correct Curubethion - your turn!

Say - ever played this game before? If you're new to it, check out the rules and suggestions for posting in the opening post of the thread.

Look forward to working on the one you post. :)

[Curubethion]

"C_l_/b_/h_a_t/_n_/h_n_/a_d/_o_e,/
_n_/c_l_/b_/s_e_p/_n_e_/s_o_e:/
_e_e_/m_r_/t_/w_k_/o_/s_o_y/_e_,/
N_v_r,/_i_l/_h_/S_n/_a_l_/a_d/_h_/M_o_/i_/d_a_./

Hint:
It's from FOTR.

[Valandil]

"C_l_/b_/h_a_t/_n_/h_n_/a_d/_o_e,/
_n_/c_l_/b_/s_e_p/_n_e_/s_o_e:/
_e_e_/m_r_/t_/w_k_/o_/s_o_y/_e_,/
N_v_r,/_i_l/_h_/S_n/_a_l_/a_d/_h_/M_o_/i_/d_a_./

"Cold be heart and hand and stone,
and cold be sleep under stone:
Never more to wake or snory see,
Never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead."

Sounds like a Barrow Wight to me.

Hint not needed, or heeded - but I fudged a couple words. :p :D

[Rían]

I think it's bone, not stone ...

[Count Comfect]

wake on stony bed

[Curubethion]

Between the three of you, you got it! (so who gets to ask the next question :confused: )

[Valandil]

Count Comfect does... it goes to whoever solves the last missing piece. :)

[Count Comfect]

Ok then...

A_e/,/_h_y'_l/_a_e/_i_e/_a_i_g/,/_h_n/_h_y'_e/_u_g/_/b_t/./

[Rían]

Aye, they'll have - -, when they've hung a bit.

It's those *shudder* spiders! talking about the dwarves, isn't it?

[Count Comfect]

It is not "have," but the rest (including speaker) is correct.

[Valandil]

'make fine eating'?

[Count Comfect]

Indeed. Val, your turn it be.

[Valandil]

"A/_a_/m_s_/h_v_/w_r_/t_/d_/u_o_/l_n_/,
/e_e_/t_o_g_/h_/h_v_/a/_a_r/_i_e/.

/I/_l_n_/m_r_/t_a_/a_e/_e_l_d."

[Rían]

"A man must have work to do upon long,
even though he have a fair wife..."

rats, kind of ringing a bell, but not sure which ...

[Count Comfect]

upon land,

[Rían]

shades of Numenor!!! :D

I know it now ...

[Valandil]

Correct so far - with CC's modifications. :)

[Rían]

Speaker is that guy in need of marriage counseling, Aldarion; right?

Am having a brain fart over the rest of the quote, tho :mad:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Trees

[Rían]

/_r_e_/s_r_n_/a_d/_r_e_/f_l_/.
/I/_l_n_/m_r_/t_a_/a_e/_e_l_d."


Trees ? and trees fall. (?)
I plant more than are felled.

[Valandil]

Rian - correct on everything so far.

One word missing.

I wonder if the seasonal allusions are intentional.

[ecthelion]

spring?
Aldarion?

[Valandil]

That is correct Ecthelion! Rian had already come up with the speaker, but 'spring' was the necessary word to complete the quote.

Your turn. :)

[ecthelion]

Sorry, I saw only the later post.

"_o_ s_r_n_e _h_u_h _t _a_ s_e_, i_ w_s _a_e _o _e_l_r_ t_i_ t_ m_. I_ m_y _v_n _e_p _h_ m_s_e_ t_a_ y_u _o_e. _t _h_l_ t_r_ t_ h_s _o_d, _f _t _s _n _y _o_e_."

[Valandil]

Uh... we usually use a 'slash' - "/" between words... if you could be so kind as to edit accordingly. :D

[ecthelion]

"_o_/s_r_n_e/_h_u_h/_t/_a_/s_e_/,i_/w_s/_a_e/_o/_e_l_r_/t_i_/t_/m_/.I_

[Beren3000]

"How strange though it may seem, it was made to .... this to me. It may even keep the .... that you ... It shall turn to his word, if it is in by ..."

[ecthelion]

correct except: How, made, keep, word, by :)

[Valandil]

"For strange though it may seem, it was lame :p to /_e_l_r_/ this to me. It may even help the master that you love. It shall turn to his good, if it is in my power."

[ecthelion]

all correct, of course. Any bids on the speaker?

[Valandil]

Not yet - but I think I'm still missing a word... and I really thought my "lame" would be wrong! :eek: :confused:

:p

[Count Comfect]

EDIT: No, scratch that. I think it's Faramir.

[Radagast The Brown]

declare.. I think.

[ecthelion]

all correct so far... only 'lame' is ... debateable

[Valandil]

Agh... can't believe I didn't think of this... "safe"?

[ecthelion]

quite right...
your turn Val

[Valandil]

"Y_u/_a_s_d/_h_o_g_/t_e/_i_d_n/_a_d/,
/_u_/i_/s_e_s/_h_t/_o_/l_t_l_/u_d_r_t_o_/i_s/_o_e_/.

[Beren3000]

"You passed through the hidden land, but it seems that you little understood its lores. If Men have dealings with the Mistress of Magic who dwells in the golden wood, then they may look for strange things to follow. For it is perilous for mortal men to ......, and few of (all?) came thence unchanged, 'tis said."
I think that's Eomer.

[Count Comfect]

"walk out of the ... of this sun"
"come thence..."

[Valandil]

Correct so far:

"You passed through the hidden land,
but it seems that you little understood its /_o_e_/.
If Men have dealings with the Mistress of Magic who dwells in the golden wood, then they may look for strange things to follow. For it is perilous for mortal /m_n/ to walk out of the /_o_l_/ of this Sun,
and few of /_l_/ came thence unchanged, 'tis said."

Not Eomer. :)

[Curubethion]

"You passed through the hidden land,
but it seems that you little understood its power.
If Men have dealings with the Mistress of Magic who dwells in the golden wood, then they may look for strange things to follow. For it is perilous for mortal men to walk out of the /_o_l_/ of this Sun,
and few of old came thence unchanged, 'tis said."
It's Faramir. :) What is that last word??? :mad: (I should probably look it up...)

[Count Comfect]

"man" I'm guessing, since Val didn't accept "men" ;)

And world.

[Valandil]

CC was correct on both - and Curubethion had gotten the other two words and the speaker.

CC's turn. :)

[Count Comfect]

Alright...

[Pip]

Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
For many a year he had gnawed it near,
For meat was hard to come by.
Done by! Gum by!
In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone,
And meat was hard to come by

[Count Comfect]

Correct.

Speaker?

[Pip]

Oh sorry, Sam

[Count Comfect]

Indeed. Your go.

[Pip]

"Y_u/_r_/o_r/_a_t_i_/a_d/_u_/b_n_e_/T_e/_a_k/_o_d/_a_/N_n_/B_t/_e/h_v_/_n_/m_g_t_e_/t_a_/t_e_

[Valandil]

"You are our /_a_t_i_/ and our /b_n_e_/T_e/_a_k/_o_d/_a_/N_n_/ But we have one mightier than thee."

Can you show us where the punctuation goes, Pip?

[Artanis]

"You are our /_a_t_i_/ and our /b_n_e_/The Dark Lord has Nine. But we have one mightier than them."

[Valandil]

Ah... is "banner" the second missing word?

Was this Aragorn?

[Artanis]

And the first missing word may be 'captain'?

[Pip]

Altogether I think you guys have it
"Y_u/_r_/o_r/_a_t_i_/a_d/_u_/b_n_e_/.T_e/_a_k/_o_d/_a_/N_n_/,B_t/_e/h_v_/_n_/m_g_t_e_/t_a_/t_e_...
I think that's the puncuation in it

[Valandil]

Hee-hee - too late now! :D

I guess Artanis solved it then... your turn, girl! :) :p

[Artanis]

"B_t/_h_t/_b_u_/t_e_e/_r_e-_e_,/t_e_e/_i_n_s,/_s/_o_/m_g_t/_a_l/_h_m?/

[Count Comfect]

not long back

[Valandil]

'moors'? :confused:

Sam?

[Artanis]

All correct, which makes Val next.

[Valandil]

I'm off for a short weekend trip - so I will plan to post when I get back (give me a couple days).

However - if ANYONE wants to go ahead and post sooner and let the game continue, you have my blessing.

The floor is now officially open! :)

[Valandil]

I took longer than I meant to get back to this:

"T_a_'s/_e_t_r/!/_u_/d_n'_/l_t/_o_r/_m_g_n_t_o_/r_n/_w_y/_i_h/_o_!"

[ecthelion]

"That's/better/!/But/don't/let/your/imagination/run/away/with/you!"
no idea about the speaker

[Radagast The Brown]

Smaug?

[Count Comfect]

Bilbo?

[Valandil]

Rad is correct - it was Smaug. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

"T_e_/y_u'_/b_s_/l_a_n/_o_e_h_n_/,/i_/y_u/_i_h/_o/_n_e_s_a_d/_h_t/_s/_a_p_n_n_/./

Hope it's ok, I didn't do it a lot lately. :) (There are probably some mistakes.)

[Beren3000]

"Then you'd best learn something, if you wish to understand what is happening. But not just now, and not from me: I have too many pressing things to think about."

I don't know who the speaker is, but it sounds like Gandalf...

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct! Your turn. :)

[Beren3000]

EDIT: Again I'm late :o Sorry!
Hope this makes up for the delay:

"T_i_ / w_n'_ / d_ / a_ / a_l /! / _f / _e / _o_'t / _e_ / b_o_n / _f_ /,/ o_ / d_o_n_d /, / _r / _t_u_k / _y / _i_h_n_n_ /,/ w_ / s_a_l / _e / _i_k_d / _p / _y / _o_e / _i_n_ / a_d / _i_k_d / _k_-h_g_ / f_r / _ / f_o_b_l_ /."

Enjoy!

[Count Comfect]

This won't do at all! If we don't see...

[Valandil]

"This won't do at all! If we don't get blown off, or drowned, or struck by lightning, we shall be picked up by some giant and kicked sky-high for a football"

Bilbo?

[Beren3000]

Quote is perfect, Val. But the speaker is not Bilbo...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Thorin?

[Beren3000]

Thorin it is! Your go, TD.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Haven't got time to post right now so someone else can feel free to take my go.If not I should be able to post tomorrow afternoon (GMT).

Gwahir to Gandalf?

[Valandil]

"A burden you have been, but not so now. Light as a /_a_n'_/ feather in my claw you are. The Sun shines through you. Indeed I do not think you need me any more: were I to let you fall, you would float upon the wind."

[Count Comfect]

Gwaihir, to Gandalf.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

All good so far. Only one words left.

[Valandil]

Tough last word. "fawn's" would fit, but doesn't make sense...

I'll take it that "s" is probably the last letter though (I don't recall Gwaihir saying "d*mn'd" ;) :p )... any way to give a hint without totally ruining it?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Oops sorry, there's a mistake. It should be _w_n'_.
And the last letter is a 's'.

[Count Comfect]

swan's, then

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct CC. Sorry for the mistake.

[Count Comfect]

No problem... in fact, it probably helped me, since it meant I got to get it ;)

Hey TD - try a carriage return next time. ;) :p I like to put them in after punctuation if possible - but anyway...

[Midge]

wisdom...

[Radagast The Brown]

'strength' and 'path'?

[Midge]

speaker is Erestor?

[Count Comfect]

or Boromir?

[Valandil]

'despair'?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

All correct. Speaker is Erestor. Your go Val.

Thorin?

[Valandil]

Radagast - you're closer, so far. Wrong words are 'in' and 'now' - speaker is not Thorin. :)

[Count Comfect]

I see your point of view, coming on fast, you, not.

Bilbo.

Eomer said it... I know cause I read this passage quite recently. Only one word still stumps me!

[Radagast The Brown]

Yeah. Good job.. :)

[Count Comfect]

"strung"?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yup.:)

[Serenoli]

so is it my turn now?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

No, it's CC's go because he got the last part of the Quote.

[Count Comfect]

Yeah, sorry about that. I hate that I end up doing that to people a lot. Anyway.

Aragorn?

[Count Comfect]

wrong words: sense, she, after, in. All the rest are correct.

Speaker is not Aragorn.

[Serenoli]

"I haven't. I don't know in the least how far down the Withywindle we are, or who could possibly come here often enough to make a path along it. But there is no other way out that I can see or think of."

Hmmm... Withywindle? Must be Merry in the Old Forest.

[Earniel]

Last two missing words: least and crave?

[Valandil]

'last'? Gloin?

[Count Comfect]

and a nitpick: "it may be"= "if may be"? And perhaps Gimli?

[Serenoli]

Radagast the Brown: all correct, xcept as Count Comfect points out, its 'if may be'
Earniel: correct
Valandil: "
CC: it is Gloin, not Gimli, so Val's right there.

So, I suppose this goes to CC, as he got the last word... he does keep doing that to ppl a lot, doesn't he?? :rolleyes:

Good job, evry1! :)

[Count Comfect]

No, I refuse to take this one, since Rad doesn't even live in an Anglophone country. Val, then, should take it, if he's willing.

[Serenoli]

Noble Count Comfect! :p ;)

Alright - I agree. Let's keep this moving. :)

Galadriel to Aragorn on the borders of Lothlorien. I am soooo tempted to look it up in the book :D! Still, everyone deserves a fair chance, I guess...

[Earniel]

"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 slow between us, and it may be that we shall not meet again, unless it be far hence upon a road that has no returning."

Not sure about the 'slow', my mind keeps volunteering other words but none fit.

[Valandil]

'slow' is indeed the only wrong word - all else is correct.

Find the right word to substitute and it's solved! :)

[Embladyne]

Claw?

[Curubethion]

I'm wondering...could it possibly be "flow"?

[Elemmírë]

plow! :p

[Valandil]

Well - I like 'plow' LM ;) , but Curubethion was already correct with 'flow'!

Your turn, CB! :)

[Rían]

(I love coming up with alternate words!! You've had some good ones, Val!)

[Rían]

(dang, I finally decide to re-join this thread, and it's dead!!! Wake up, Curubethion! *puts on some Switchfoot* )

[Serenoli]

Since no one has posted for ages here, I guess its anybody's turn:

It certainly is, Serenoli... I like the 'three-day rule' - but when THIS game is going hot-and-heavy, people just post them freely if the winner hasn't posted right away. :p

[Count Comfect]

change in the tides, has risen

[Serenoli]

Oh dear me, I made a mistake! I left out part of the quote accidentally, and I'm so sorry! :o I'm re-writing it, with the skipped out part included, and whatever you two guessed correctly inserted:

"Behold the /_u_/s_t_i_/_n/ a great /_i_e/!
It is a sign of the end and fall of many things,
and a /_h_n_e/ in the tides of the world. But this /C_t_/

Steward.

and a /_h_n_e/ in the tides of the world. But this City
and realm has /r_s_e_/ in the charge of the Stewards for many long years, and I fear that if I enter in unbidden, then doubt and debate may arise, which should not be while this war is fought."

S: Aragorn

(not 'change' as guessed?) :confused:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

rested

[Count Comfect]

*cough* I said that already. Y'all just ignored it.

*wracking my brains for another word instead of change for _h_n_e* Chance? Doesn't really make sense, but...

[Rían]

Change?

(oh, and that last word was "fought"! I could NOT get that one !!)

[Serenoli]

yes, it is change, and I'm afraid I did overlook it.

TD got the last word 'rested', so its his turn. And speaker Aragorn.

[Valandil]

*cough* I said that already. Y'all just ignored it.

*wracking my brains for another word instead of change for _h_n_e* Chance? Doesn't really make sense, but...

I didn't exactly ignore you - I just didn't think the word fit my next time through - and so we lost track of it. :p :o

Serenoli - I hate to say it, but in that case, I think I might have gotten the last part of the quote (since CC had already guessed both 'rested' and 'change'). Should I post? If you think so - then if anyone else wants to post, they can go ahead. Otherwise I'll post when I'm able - maybe 18-24 hours. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Yeah, I was jus going to post that. So Val it is your go.

[Serenoli]

Oh, man, everytime I came here the last few days, I've been making some mistake or other. First, I leave out part of the quote, then I forget to include CC's correct guesses, and then I award the wrong guy!! :o :(

Of course you should post Val.

[Valandil]

It's OK Serenoli. If you haven't done it already, see the 'Suggestions for posting' in the first post of this thread. That may help. :)

"Which means we are not, thank you for the compliment" Sam would have replied to that. :p

Said by a ranger from Faramir's group, dunno if he was named.

[Valandil]

You're right on the quote. That 'ranger' is named a few paragraphs later.

Act, beard and true are incorrect. All else is correct.

the heart of Feanor is yet free... I will aid him....

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Quote is correct except 'now'. Speaker is correct.

[Radagast The Brown]

'banished'?

[Rían]

HOW thou art?

[Valandil]

Argh - I can't keep track without an update - and without the missing words showing the known parts! :p

"Behold the truth of all that I have spoken,
and how thou art banished unjustly. But if
the heart of Feanor is yet free and bold as
were his words in Tirion, then I will aid him,

??

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

That's all correct. Your go Rian.

[Rían]

I think Val got it, because I couldn't figure out "unjustly" (honestly I couldn't, Val!) but I know he's busy, so I might just go ahead (I imagine that'd be fine with Val) if he hasn't posted when I get on. GTG to a soccer game now ...
