Quote Game-Part 7

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 12-29-2005, 03:50 PM

Here we go with part 7. 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 books: The Hobbit, LOTR, the Silmarillion, 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.

Your turn Val.

Part 7...already! Aww..

"Two? I have done better, though now I must grope? for spent arrows;
all mine are gone. Yet I make? my tale? twenty at the least.
But that is only a few leaves in a forest."

Legolas?

***Valandil*** · 12-30-2005, 07:31 PM

All correct elfearz - even the parts with the "?" marks!

Your turn.

-elfearz- · 12-30-2005, 11:10 PM

ok..

“Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl;
/_o_n_/ them up with a thumping pole;
And when you're finished, if any are whole,
Send them down the hall to roll!”

Sounds like Dwarf talk to me... I'd say all of Thorin's company except Thorin!

***Valandil*** · 12-31-2005, 06:50 AM

Oh... and 'pound' for the last word?

Midge · 12-31-2005, 05:59 PM

I think it is "when YOU'VE finished"...

-elfearz- · 12-31-2005, 10:00 PM

Very good, Val

But it is "you've", so it's your go Midge

Midge · 01-01-2006, 06:26 PM

Midge · 01-01-2006, 07:54 PM

so far, so good!

Count Comfect · 01-01-2006, 08:05 PM

tenfold, teeth, claws, tail, wings, hurricane

This would be Smaug.

Midge · 01-01-2006, 09:09 PM

yeppers.

your turn, then.

Count Comfect · 01-04-2006, 03:30 PM

OK. Sorry this is late, I was flying all day yesterday, and packing the day before.

I ...
of people long ago,
and ? she will see a world
that I shall never know.

Count Comfect · 01-04-2006, 05:24 PM

all correct but "she"

Radagast The Brown · 01-04-2006, 05:46 PM

"I sit beside the fire and think"?

Midge · 01-04-2006, 06:01 PM

I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago
And people who will see a world
That I shall never know

Frodo.... or Bilbo? A wise hobbit, anyway.

Count Comfect · 01-04-2006, 07:36 PM

The quote is correct.

I need one guess for the speaker, though. No doubling up.
