Quote Game-Part 6

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 03-24-2005, 07:21 PM

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.

'he made' is wrong.

Count Comfect · 03-25-2005, 11:34 PM

"we have"

Beren3000 · 03-25-2005, 11:49 PM

"we have in the City"?

Radagast The Brown · 03-26-2005, 04:49 PM

Correct TD.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 03-27-2005, 03:34 PM

Just a short one.

Radagast The Brown · 03-27-2005, 04:04 PM

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

Telcontar_Dunedain · 03-27-2005, 04:23 PM

Correct, we just need a speaker.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 04-01-2005, 07:30 AM

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

***Valandil*** · 04-01-2005, 08:02 AM

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

Telcontar_Dunedain · 04-01-2005, 08:09 AM

Not Pippin.

Last Child of Ungoliant · 04-01-2005, 03:45 PM

thanks for telling me we had a new one going

merry?

***Rían*** · 04-11-2005, 12:39 PM

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

Telcontar_Dunedain · 04-11-2005, 12:46 PM

Nope.

Count Comfect · 04-11-2005, 12:48 PM

Bilbo?
