The Hobbit Wheel of Fortune Game

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Rules are generally those of "Wheel of Fortune" show. A passage from the Hobbit, quotes or not, is given as blanks. Players request a letter. If a player guesses a letter then the player can guess the whole passage. Solver gives next passage.

How about this for the first:

"_ _ /_ _ _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _,/
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ /
_ _ _ _ _ _"!/_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _,/ _ _ _ / _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ /
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

Note: Additional rule, inspired by an observation by Lizra in a post later, you can only guess a vowel after you have successfully guessed a consonant.

(Admin note: I got rid of most of the old games to clear up space. Rules are still the same)

[Lizra]

How'd they buy vowels with no money! :mad: oh...never mind! :o
I'll try an "F" please.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Good point about the vowels. But it's difficult to keep track of guessers. How about if you can't guess a vowel in a game until you've guessed correctly on a consonant?

"_ _ /_ _ _ e _ /_ _ _ _ / a _ _ e _ / f _ _ e,/
a _ _ / e _ e _ / _ _ a _ _ _ _ / _ a _ e / _ _ e _ _ /
e _ _ _ _ _"!/_ a _ _ / _ _ _ _ _,/ a _ _ / _ e
_ _ _ _ e _ / _ _ _ / _ a _ _ / _ _ /
_ _ _ / a _ _ e _ _ _ _ e.

only one "f".:(

[Maegondowen]

an 'h' please...

Can solve the riddle now or do I have to wait until I get permission? (It's been ages since I've watched 'Wheel of Fortune'...)

[Rían]

Roadkill? :D Well, alright then. The flag it is. I guess I should be patriotic in this time of trouble.

[Rían]

Yay! The flag's coming back!

How 'bout an I, please?

[Radagast The Brown]

I decided to put a different kind of flag... from a small movie that was played on TV some time ago.

"I/_ _/ h _ _ e/ I /_ _ t/ t h e/ _ i _ s/ _ n /t i _ h t /e n _ _ _ h/!/"/ h e/

[Rían]

That's an interesting flag - like a Star of David, but split apart?

Hmm, I don't have a clue what your quote is yet! Is there an A?

[Radagast The Brown]

That's an interesting flag - like a Star of David, but split apart?Yes. It's some kind of warning, that if we're not careful we might find ourselves - in Israel - split apart. :(

Hmm, I don't have a clue what your quote is yet! Is there an A?Trying to ask a vowel without asking a letter before are we? ;) I'm afraid you'll have to guess a regular letter before.

[Rían]

(flag) - hey, good guess on my part, wasn't it?!

(quote) - I already guessed a consonant - do I have to guess another before I guess another vowel? I never thought of that ... well, anyway, is there a D, please?

[Radagast The Brown]

(flag) - hey, good guess on my part, wasn't it?!Ehmmmm.... :D Well, I don't know. I suppose you did know Star of David is actually made of 2 triagnels? And you saw the similarity to Israel flag? And then... it wasn't really a guess wasn't it? :) Just guessing here..


(quote) - I already guessed a consonant - do I have to guess another before I guess another vowel? I never thought of that ... well, anyway, is there a D, please?I think so, it only makes sense... :confused: anyway..

D it is:

"I/d _/ h _ _ e/ I /_ _ t/ t h e/ _ i d s/ _ n /t i _ h t /e n _ _ _ h/!/"/ h e/

N,S,T,R,M,H,E,I,D.

(and missed an 'h', sorry)

[Rían]

Ehmmmm.... :D Well, I don't know. I suppose you did know Star of David is actually made of 2 triagnels? And you saw the similarity to Israel flag? And then... it wasn't really a guess wasn't it? :) Just guessing here.. I mean it was a guess because I didn't know what it was at first, then I thought about it a bit, then figured it out, but didn't know if I was right or not.

I think so, it only makes sense... :confused: anyway.. OK, that's prob. a good rule to have :)

[Rían]

Ah, got the quote now, just missing 2 words ...

Is there a P, please?

[Radagast The Brown]

I mean it was a guess because I didn't know what it was at first, then I thought about it a bit, then figured it out, but didn't know if I was right or not.I see... I suppose not many could actually recognize it. :)

(and it's hard for me to think about it as 'Star of David'. I don't know why.. it'a actually 'shield of David' here. Wonder why)

[Rían]

(and it's hard for me to think about it as 'Star of David'. I don't know why.. it'a actually 'shield of David' here. Wonder why) "shield of David"? Hmm, wonder why? It sure looks like a star - that's what we call it here. Was it on David's shield?

Well, that P didn't help me with the two words I don't know :mad:

How about a B?

Wikipedia in Hebrew says that traditionally it'ssaid it was either drawn or engraved on David's warrior's shields. :)

[Rían]

a-HAH! That did it! It's "before"!

"I do hope I put the lids on tight enough!", he
thought, but before long he was worrying too
much about himself to remember the dwarves.

When the barrels were empty the elves cast them through the trapdoors, opened the water-gate, and out the barrels floated on the stream, bobbing
along until they were carried in the current to a place far down the river where the land jutted out, near to the very eastern edge of Mirkwood.

[Radagast The Brown]

You have two mistakes Tree Dweller -

When the barrels were empty the elves cast them through the trapdoors, opened the water-gate, and out the barrels floated on the stream, bobbing
along until they were carried /_ _/ the current to a place far down the river where the /_ _n_/ jutted out, near to the very eastern edge of Mirkwood.

When the barrels were empty the elves cast them through the trapdoors, opened the water-gate, and out the barrels floated on the stream, bobbing
along until they were carried ON the current to a place far down the river where the BANK jutted out, near to the very eastern edge of Mirkwood.

maybe this?

[Tree Dweller]

:p duh! Why couldn't I think of bank??:p


****my brain is oozing out of my ears from house-hunting**** :eek:

[Radagast The Brown]

Indeed, bank is correct.. on isn't, but never mind - it's 'by'. Your turn flupke.. :)

I think I may have it...

The master of the house was an elf-friend - one of those people whose fathers came into the strange stories before the beginning of History, the wars of the evil goblins and the elves and the first men in the North.

[Rían]

Go ahead and guess if you'd like - I'll check back in a few minutes, then I'll be gone for a coupla hours.

[Acran Mern]

Is that a no? :)

[Rían]

I'm sorry, I don't understand :confused:

Go ahead and guess if you think you have it :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Rian... I think she guessed - http://entmoot.com/showpost.php?p=481308&postcount=2527

[Rían]

oh, how funny! I'm so used to people having sigs that I never even read the thing under the first sentence - I just assumed it was a sig!!

Yes, you're quite correct, Acran! Sorry for my density! :eek:

It's your turn :)

(I think Acran said on another thread he'd be back on Thursday, so let's give him another day, esp. since I messed up with his guess!)

I have detected a few errors on my part and apologize profusely...It didn't look as long when I first found it :o

[Rían]

Here's my guess:

He guessed as well as he could, and crawled
along for a good way, till suddenly his hand
met what felt like a tiny ring of cold metal
laying on the floor of the tunnel. It was a
turning point in his career, but he did not
know it. He put the ring in his pocket almost
without thinking: certainly it did not seem
of any particular use at the moment.

I have detected a few errors on my part and apologize profusely...It didn't look as long when I first found it :oit's really hard to not have at least one mistake, at least for me :o

well, I don't know the whole thing yet, and we can't do partial guesses like in the Quote game, so I have to wait ...

but I"ll guess another letter - is there an I?

"They don't look dangerous. You can be off!"
he laughed a great rolling laugh, put down
his axe and came forward.

yeah, it's usually just one word that gets ya stuck, and you have to keep guessing letters and filling the rest in, even tho you know the rest!
