Quote Game-Part 6

[Sister Golden Hair]

Here we go with part 6. 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.

It is Radagast the Brown's turn.

[Radagast The Brown]

ok... I'm first! Yay. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

'he made' is wrong.

"we have in the City"?

Just a short one.

[Radagast The Brown]

We aren't, and we haven't. But we'll do if we must.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct, we just need a speaker.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

It's been five days. Any takers on the speaker?

[Valandil]

It's too short to give a guesser much direction. I expect it's likely a hobbit though... Pippin?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Not Pippin.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

thanks for telling me we had a new one going :p;)

merry?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

No. :)

[Rían]

Oh, that sounds like it's from the Hobbit. Is the speaker just something like "the dwarves?"

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope.

[Count Comfect]

Bilbo?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope. :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

Everything is correct.

Aragorn is not the speaker. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

'spirit'?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Gandalf speaks thusly perchance?

[Sister Golden Hair]

"spirit" is correct.

Now the speaker.

[Sister Golden Hair]

Gandalf speaks thusly perchance?Nope, not Gandalf.

[Radagast The Brown]

'less' is wrong. I made a mistake in the word after 'Stone-City' - it's not 'hurt', and should be '/_h_t/'.

Also wrong - gorgon, run, kin, lord, wary, last 'come', last 'then'.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

gorgun

[Valandil]

"Bring /_e_s/. We look out from hills. We climb big mountain and look down. Stone-city is shut. Fire burns there outside; now inside too. You wish to come there? Then you must be quick. But Gorgun and men out from far away, /_i_/ of horse-_o_d. Very many. More than horse-men."

You didn't do any more 'typos', did you? Is it possibly "eyes" and "king"?

[Radagast The Brown]

Bring eyes? No. :) There aren't any more typos..

Everything you fixed is correct. Didn't notice the 'of' before the last 'horse', which is wrong too.. sorry.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

'news' and then 'sit on horse-road'

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes. Only speaker left.

One of my favorite parts of the Silmarillion. This is Celegorm, after
Finrod tells him about aiding Beren in the Quest of the Silmaril.

Is it 'hate'? 'grinding' and 'kinslayers' for the other two?

Did Galadriel say this?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Is it 'hate'? 'grinding' and 'kinslayers' for the other two?

Did Galadriel say this?"hate" is incorrect. "kinslayers" and "grinding" is correct.

The speaker was not Galadriel.

ah... "name"?

Finrod?

ah... "name"?

Finrod?"name" is correct.

Finrod? Come now, that would be too easy. :p Nope, not Finrod.

me and my people, so I will aid him

EDIT: And "need it not" up in the second line. And "friend" Aragorn

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Is Eomer the speaker?

[Sister Golden Hair]

"As for myself, I have little knowledge of these/
d_e_/m_t_e_s,/but I need it not.This I know, and
it is enough that as my friend Aragorn/_u_c_u_e_/
me and my people, so I will aid him when he calls. I will go."

The speaker is Eomer.

[Count Comfect]

deep motives and succoured?

[Sister Golden Hair]

deep motives and succoured?"motives" is incorrect. "deep" and "succoured" is correct.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

is isildur the speaker?

[Valandil]

"The vengeance of Sauron lives on, though he may be dead. There is cunning and design here! We have no hope of help: Moria and Lorien are now far behind, and Thranduil four days' march ahead."

It does sound like my father Isildur... if not him though, it's gotta be my big brother Elendur. :p

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Two guesses in one post Val. Are you allowed to do that? :p

All is correct so it's Val's go.

[Valandil]

Two guesses in one post Val. Are you allowed to do that? :p


No - but the first one I mentioned had already been guessed by LCOU. I thought he was right, but in case he wasn't, I wanted to sew it up.

You youngsters will learn about 'hedging your bets' if you play this game long enough. :p ;)

I'll get a quote up in just a few more hours.

[Count Comfect]

path, preparing, wood-fires

[Valandil]

SGH's quote is right, except for CC's corrections (all of which are right) and 'heading' which is not right.

So we just need the correct word there and the speaker. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

making and Bilbo.

[Valandil]

"'Yes' and 'No'" ;)

making is correct, Bilbo is not.

[Radagast The Brown]

The Elf in their way to Rivendell?

Correct - your turn Rad. :)

"witch-king" "deadly"

Yes.. to everything. 3 words left. :)

"been" "fortunate" "tongues" and "handywork"?

'steering a straight course', 'quickly', 'firmer'?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Quickly is incorrect RtB, but all else is correct.

[Radagast The Brown]

Quicker, then? :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct.

[Valandil]

"He is steering a straight course now for the halls of Theoden

It will be quicker so. The ground is firmer in the Eastemnet,
where the sheer northward track lies, across the river,

clue - the missing words are names

[Count Comfect]

Darn. I have 0.00000 of an idea on the two proper names.

[Valandil]

I'm little better but I'll take a wild guess at the speaker: Orodreth?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

very wild, val :p

[Radagast The Brown]

Arminas? And so the speaker is.. Gelmir, no?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

yes, one word left

Agarwaen, iirc ...

agarwaen is right, your go artanis

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

second word is dreadful

the first word seems to bve asying 'sister' to me, but it doesn't fit
of course if it did, that would make the speaker eomer

[Valandil]

Ah - maybe 'spirit' - if it's not Eomer (as Chrys says) - could it be Aragorn? If it is said to Eowyn...

[Radagast The Brown]

Luthien. It was in the thread not long ago, btw. A few pages back.

[Artanis]

Luthien. It was in the thread not long ago, btw. A few pages back.Luthien is correct - forgive me if that was too easy Rad, I haven't read this thread for ages ... :)
