[mormegil]

[Guinevere]

[luthien-elvenprincess]

IRNDA added: Someone should solve it easily now!

Sam to Frodo and Gollum when they are heading towards Cirith Ungol.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Right-e-o, Kath. Great job, your turn.

[Kath]

Cheers, I love the oliphaunt song!

[Kath]

M for morm

"-----m/ ----/ --/ ---/ ----/ -------/ --/ ---------,/ ---/ --/ --/ ----/ --/ ----/ -----/ --/ ---/ -------/ ------/ ---m/ ---/ ----/ --/ -----/ ---------/ --/ ---/ -----."

[mormegil]

Only 2 huh? Well let that be a lesson to you stick with the common ones.

"E" Please.

[Kath]

Always fun to branch out though!

M, E

[Firefoot]

[mormegil]

Yes it kind of is...let's try "L" in that case

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Morm took "L" for luthien...so I'll take the "N", please.

[Kath]

"Quite safe, yes," he whispered to himself. "It won't see us, will it, my precious? No. It won't see us, and its nassty little sword will be useless, yes quite." Gollum to himself.

[mormegil]

Yes, Firefoot, you are correct. Let me ask did you get it quickly because of the repeated "won't see us" or was it something else?

[Firefoot]

The biggest part was the "No." in the middle of it - there aren't many places where a character answers his/herself with a simple No. Then I got the "won't see __, will it, __ ______?"

"---/-----/---,/---/----/-----/---/-----'-/----,/---/------/--/-/-----/---!"

Being my first attempt at such length be patient if I miss a letter or two. I will do my best to correct them though.

[Firefoot]

A's?

[the guy who be short]

"W"s. (I like "W"s, they're so... encaptivating).

[Guinevere]

there must be some O's in such a long quote...

[Kath]

E's please.

[mormegil]

A,W,O,E

"Get you gone, for your embassy is over and death is near to you. We did not come here to waste words in treating with Sauron, faithless and accursed; still less with one of his slaves. Begone!"

Impressive Guinevere, and incidentally thank you for not making me insert all the "R's "

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Mormegil. :) (Begone! was rather revealing... ;) )

I figured that would be a key word, good job though still.

"A"

[Folwren]

May I join?

S, if you will.

[Firefoot]

Hi, Folwren! :)

T's?

[the guy who be short]

"W"s...

[Guinevere]

AST, no W

[mormegil]

"R" please. We are getting a bunch of new people here which is fun I think.

[the guy who be short]

New? Or simply less old? Incidentally, I find the lack of "w"s appalling. Let us hope we fare better with "E"s.

[Firefoot]

New to QQ, methinks he means.

N's?

[Folwren]

"P", please.

Hallo, Firefoot! By the bye, I liked your horse Aviator a lot.

[Guinevere]

I am very pleased too, to see "new" people in this game. ( I only wish some people would join the "Minor works" - Palantir of Fortune ! Esty and I are all by ourselves... :( )

ASTRE, no W

Guinevere, speaking for myself I would not know where to begin in the minor works edition. Sorry.

"W" in honor of you shortie.

[the guy who be short]

W (You know, maybe they're not as common as I thought. Still beautiful, though.)

[Firefoot]

A's, please.

Concerning the Minor Works edition, I'm in the same place as Morm - I have read few (if any) of the minor works. Otherwise I'd gladly give it a shot.

"I can't be always carrying burglars on my back," said Dori, "down tunnels and up trees! What do you think I am? A porter?" Dori to Nori.

[the guy who be short]

Trés vrai. :)

[Firefoot]

:) "-/----/----/------/----/--/---,/--/------/----/---/----/----/--/---,/---/-/----/----./-----/---/----/--!"

[mormegil]

"E" if you please firefoot.

[the guy who be short]

"A" please. The first and therefore most common letter.

Do not doubt my logic! :mad:

[Firefoot]

E, A"A/----/---ee-/--e-/--/---,/a-/-ee---/e-e-/-a-/-e--/-ea-/--/---,/---/a/-a--/----./E--e-/---/----/--!" I think the E's have got you beaten, this time around, TGWBS. ;)

[the guy who be short]

Very well! I declare most-common-letter war on mormegil! :D

Gimme some "T"s, lass!

[mormegil]

I'll top that with an "S"

[Firefoot]

T, S"A/----/---ee-/--es/--/---,/as/see---/e-es/-a-/-e--/-ea-/--/---,/--t/a/-a--/----./E-te-/--t/--t-/-t!" T's were the better choice here, thanks to that short sentence at the end... but Morm is still up by 4 letters. (Yes, I'm provocative. ;) )

[Folwren]

I'm afraid I'm not very good at this game.

"N"

What count as minor works? Farmer Giles of Ham and all the others?

[Firefoot]

N"A/----/-n-ee-/--es/-n/---,/as/see-n-/e-es/-a-/-e--/-ea-/-n/---,/--t/a/-a--/----./Ente-/n-t/-nt-/-t!" Don't worry about it, Folwren; it takes most people a few rounds to get the hang of it.

Minor Works - Farmer Giles of Ham is one of them; a complete list is at the top of the Minor Works thread.

[the guy who be short]

A doom indeed lies on him, as seeing eyes may read in him, but a dark doom. Enter not into it!Gwindor to Finduilas! :D

[mormegil]

A doom indeed lies on him as seeing eyes may well read in him, but a dark doom. Enter not into it!

Gwindor to Findulas...I would be ashamed if I didn't get this one.

Folwren to emphasize what Firefoot said it does take most people a while. I played many rounds before I was able to correctly identify my first quote...great fun trying though.

I win this round shortie :p :smokin:

Edit: I took too much time gloating and talking....dang it!!!!

[the guy who be short]

Where is that evil smiley?

[Firefoot]

I'll do it for you, TGWBS:

That's correct... Morm's going to be out for blood now. ;)

[the guy who be short]

-/---/--/----/-----,/-----/-/---'-/--------./-/----/--/------.

New element. Person who guesses the most frequent letter gets... well, nothing, but gets to gloat over the others. :D

[mormegil]

Ya but don't waste too much time gloating :mad:

"E" please

Never again will I guess W

[Folwren]

That was uncommonly funny, Morm.

Uh....let's be particularly unlogical and guess "F". Can't cause harm.

[Firefoot]

T's?

[Kath]

L's again please.

[Guinevere]

...and perhaps there are some O's ? (not as frequent as E's , but often quite revealing...)
