Unless I'm mistaken, we're ready for another one.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-07-2008, 01:47 PM

Excellent start! All correct.

***Earniel*** · 04-07-2008, 01:55 PM

I was the herald of Gil-galad and marched with his host. I was at the battle of/_a_o_l_d before the Black_a_e/of Mordor, there we had the mastery: For the spear of Gil-galad and the Sword of Elendil, Aiglos and Narsil, none could withstand. I beheld the last/_o_b_t/in the/s_o_e_/of Orodruin, where Gil-galad died, and Elendil fell, and Narsil broke beneath him; but Sauron himself was overthrown, and Isildur cut the Ring from his hand with the/h_l_/-/s_a_d/of his father's sword, and took it for his own.

The ones in bold are my guesses, and the italics are incorporating Eärniels.

Not sure those are all right, though...

Oh, and just in case you didn't see it above, speaker is Elrond.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-07-2008, 02:26 PM

My bad from before, "in" was incorrect all along. Since I erred, I'll give it: "on" .

Also, "Mace" "stones" "stand" are incorrect. The rest, including the speaker, Elrond, is correct. (assuming I haven't erred again)

Midge · 04-07-2008, 02:26 PM

Check the blank spots from Earniel's guess.

Black GATE. SLOPES of orodruin.. is that "ON the slopes of orodruin"?

Hilt SHARD

This is super hard to do on a small-screened computer with a super long quote like that one!

Note:
Every now and then,
when you're typing a huge quote like that,
add some returns so it's not all carrying on
past the edge of the page, just like,
after punctuation or a pause in the syntax of the quote.
Makes it easier for when you do have a tiny screen!

Midge · 04-07-2008, 02:33 PM

Looks like we tied with the "on" there, DPR! Haha.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-07-2008, 02:35 PM

You've got it, Midge!

Midge · 04-07-2008, 11:05 PM

Yay!

"T_e_/a_e/_/r_m_r_a_l_/r_c_/./
V_r_/t_u_h/_n/_h_/f_b_e/,/_/d_e_/./"

***Valandil*** · 04-07-2008, 11:56 PM

"They are a remarkable race.
Very tough in the fibre, I deem."

Hmmm... Gimli?

Midge · 04-08-2008, 09:27 AM

The quote is correct. The speaker is not. Keep guessing.

Curufin · 04-08-2008, 09:35 AM

Legolas?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-08-2008, 11:22 AM

I think you've got it, Curufin.

Oops. Nope. But since I looked it up, giving the answer would be cheating....

Looks like I'm out for this round.

Curufin · 04-08-2008, 11:27 AM

I've not a clue who it is, LOL. Let's see...random guess...

Thranduil?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-08-2008, 03:48 PM

Tick, tock...

I'm having quote game withdrawals. Somebody be a pal and PM me a quote to play with while we're waiting. Thanks.

Curufin · 04-08-2008, 03:55 PM

Me too. I've gotten addicted to this game, I'm afraid.

***Valandil*** · 04-08-2008, 10:13 PM

Gandalf?

Midge · 04-08-2008, 10:51 PM

Hey, like I said, some of us don't have lots and LOTS of time hanging around.

So far, no one has guessed the speaker correctly. Keep guessing.

(You guys know that you could do other things while you're waiting... like a bike ride! Man, I wish I had time for that!)

Curufin · 04-09-2008, 03:30 AM

Éomer?
