Palantir of Fortune!

[Folwren]

It was SO easy, too!!!! *sigh* Oh well.

[the guy who be short]

It is Merry, but not about Old Man Willow.

[Folwren]

Why, it was when he came tearing back to the inn at Bree after his encounter with the Nazgul.

[the guy who be short]

Correct, Folwren, over to you.

[Folwren]

But...Morm got the quote.

[the guy who be short]

I'm not sure because I'm pretty new to QQ, but I think the person needs to get the quote, the speaker and who they're speaking to / the circumstances. So I think you get it, Folwren.

[Folwren]

Well, you'd know better than I. I'll take it, but if some one who's older to the game says that it should go to Morm, we'll cut mine short and she can have it.

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

[the guy who be short]

"E"s please. And morm's a man by the way. :)

[mormegil]

Firefoot and Guinevere could answer but I don't think you actually need to get who's saying it but I don't mind passing it on to Folwren, it's easier to guess at times ;)

"A"

Just a question Folwren why did you think me to be a woman? So many people have...do I ooze estrogen over the net?

[Firefoot]

For as long as I've been playing, you only need to get the quote. You don't need to get the speaker, as in most quotes games. Most people give it, though, because they fill in the quote by figuring out what part of it is then finding in the texts. However, there have been some that no one has figured out where it was and ended up getting it just by filling in all the letters...

Long story short: technically this was Morm's turn. But if he doesn't mind letting Folwren go ahead, we can just continue.

O's, please.

[the guy who be short]

Hmmm. Sorry morm, though you don't seem to care. If it helps, I've always thought of you as male... :p

I am so sorry, Mormegil, I had no idea. I have to say it was the name that probably led me off first. If it's one of Tolkien's works, I haven't read of him, and if it's not, then you can't blame me too much because some names sound both like a man's or a woman's. And intelligent women can sound like men when they're just typing, so it's really hard to tell sometimes on the internet. My most humble apologies, though, I had no idea and I didn't mean to offend. (I'm glad that it appears that I haven't, but still...)

I'm sorry to take a right that isn't mine...but you all've told me to go on with it. So, there it is, with your letters filled in.

[mormegil]

"S" Please

Folwren I take no offense from that whatsover...now TGWBS body odor that's another topic :p (ahhh petty rivalries) But seriously I hope you don't feel bad. I get peoples gender wrong all the time. In fact I have no idea of yours.

Edit: Mormegil is another name that Turin gave to himself.

Sam to Gandalf.

And good quote morm, took me forever to ger eavesdropping!

[mormegil]

Well sadly TGWBS didn't participate in this one. I had to do a Sam quote from our recent banter party on the "favorite hobbit" thread.

Correct of course and your go.

Oh the word I thought would give it away is "ain't"

If I had been good, I would have gotten 'ain't' and 'sir' and 'that's a fact', too, but I'm not good, and I didn't. However, had I, I would have gotten it, because that has got to be one of my favorite quotes in the entire book.

Great quote, Morm. I wish TGWBS were here.

Give us "S", please.

And, by the way, you stuck an "E" in there. Whether it is intentional or is supposed to be an "A", it doesn't belong because it hasn't been guessed...or it's the wrong letter.

"Here is the heart of Elvendom on earth," he said, "and here my heart dwells ever, unless there be a light beyond the dark roads that we still must tread , you and I. Come with me!"
Aragorn to Frodo on Cerin Amroth

[Folwren]

*something very close to a sigh*

[Kath]

You got it Guinevere! Maybe next time for you Folwren.

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Kath. :)
(btw, I found the quote out before you added the E's, honestly! Otherwise I would have left it for Folwren to solve. The clue was the "I" at the end of a sentence. I guessed it must be "you and I." which seemed vaguely familiar and led me to guess "Come with me!")

Anyway, here's a new one to puzzle over:

"--/ -----/ ---/ ---/ ---/ --/ -----/ -/ ---/, ---/ ---/, ------/ ------/, (.......) "---/ -----/ ---/ ----/ ---/ ------/ ---/ -----/ ---/ ----/ ----/."

I'm surprised I didn't get this before. :rolleyes: "Legolas is right," said Aragorn quietly. "We may not shoot an old man so, at unawares and unchallenged, whatever fear or doubt be on us. Watch and wiat!" Aragorn to Gimli.

[Kath]

That's the one. Well done.

And putting the letters in capitals makes it very difficult to tell when a word is a name or not. Is this intentional?

[Firefoot]

And putting the letters in capitals makes it very difficult to tell when a word is a name or not. Is this intentional? Yes. :p Besides, sometimes I miss seeing the quotes in all caps... the way they all used to be before the software switched to VBulletin, when no one could figure out how to keep the letters in caps. (If anyone is interested, the way to do it is to put the [ QUOTE ] in lowercase - [ quote ].)

And I seek more "W"s...

There is some new devilry here, devised for our welcome no doubt. But I know now where we are: we have reached the First Deep, the level immediately below the Gates.Grandelf

[mormegil]

Well done however I am not familar with this Grandelf person you give credit to for the quote.

Just a question to you. How did you get this one? Was it the word New?

[the guy who be short]

It was the "know now where we are" bit... even though you left off an "a"! Naughty mormegil... :p

Um... new quote. Lessee...

Can't find a good un at the moment. Be back later.

[Firefoot]

Yeah, I had that part of it too... and I even found the other place in Moria where Gandalf says it (Chamber of Mazarbul). Gr... :rolleyes:
