The Quote Game- Part 3
Ok, here we go with part three. The same rules apply as before.
I have shamelessly stolen this game from Bacchus at the Tolkien Inklings forum at SF-Fandom, who stole it from the rabid Legolas fans on the Orlando Bloom forum at SF-Fandom. It was a smashing success. 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. It is Diamond of Long Cleeve's turn to post a quote.

Alas, for the weakness of the great! For a mighty king is Gil-galad, and wise in all lore is Master Elrond, and yet they will not aid me in my labours. Can it be that they do not desire to see other lands become as blissful as their own?

Have you noticed the three 'buttons' below the last post of this page? The right one of those says 'Subscribe to this thread'.

Sorry for mistakes above "comes from Ulmo himself".
I thought I'd checked it.
