Quote Game - Part 12
Let's see if we can keep this going! Here's how we play:
Basically, you take a quote and remove every second letter, and put a slash between words, and punctuation marks. A solution must include all words solved correctly and the correct speaker identified. Whoever solves the last element, be it quote, speaker, or both, posts the next one. It is not necessary for the one solving to say who it is said to, anything about the context, or what book it's found in. Example: "I/_i_l/_i_e/_o_/a/_a_e/,/_n_/I/_h_l_/c_l_/y_u/_t_n_." Answer: "I will give you a name, and I shall call you Sting." Bilbo Baggins (from The Hobbit) Anything from the books: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, or Unfinished Tales is fair game. No movie quotes. 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. However, if the one who posted the quote is away or not responding, a player may look up an attempted full solution to see if it was correct before moving on and posting the next quote.

"Rohan? Ronan did you say? That is a glad word.

away is wrong, but the rest is correct. I'm quite impressed at how quickly you got the speaker!

Halbarad would not have been who my mind jumped to first.
"afar" is correct, so your turn posting!

"Would you then /b_t_a_/ the Ring?
For you know well the charge that they make against us, that we are /t_a_t_r_/ and /_p_e_/, and that until this day it has been false."

Quote is correct with Varna's addition and correction. Any guesses toward the speaker?
"Would you then betray the King? For you know well the charge that they make against us, that we are traitors and spies, and that until this day it has been false." |

Only familiar in the vaguest of ways. Sounds very First Age-ish. Very Beleriandic!

This is mostly guessing (except for the "the"s and "and"s and "to"s - those I think I got right).
"Yet it was in the song. For while thou wert in the heavens and with Ulmo built the clouds and/_o_r_d/_u_/the/_a_n_/, I lifted up the/b_a_c_e_/o_/great/_r_e_/to receive them/, and some sang to Iluvatar amid the wind and the/_a_n."

All that guessing is entirely correct! Keep it up!
