Quite a few letter in this that aren't normal requested...interesting selection :)

[malkatoj]

Well then, how about an E?

[Guinevere]

if you add the N's, it will be obvious! ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Yet once I was Gwindor son of Guilin, a lord of Nargothrond until i went to
The Nirnaeth Arnoediad, And was enslaved in Angband.

- Gwindor to Turin

[mormegil]

Correct!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I guessed it was somthing with Gwindor quite early, but I had a real hard time finding the quote.

Anyway here is the nex one:

---/---/----/--/---./---/----/--/----,/--/---;/---/--/--/----,/-------/--/--/-----./--/----/--/------./----/--/---/---/----.

[mormegil]

The odd request for "w" helped that out being as there are only three actual english words that have 'w' as their second letter :D. I thought it would be a difficult quote because of all the names.

"E" please

[Gothmog]

May I try a guess?

You can give no aid. For this is Khîm, my son; and he is dead, pierced by an arrow. He died at sunset. Ibun my son has told (me) "Me" added by me...

Mim to Turin.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

How did that (me) disapier! I feard I would mess things up and I did. :(

You are of course right Gothmoh. :)

[Gothmog]

Edit: cross posted...added "L"

[Kath]

"Why, to think of it, we're in the same great tale still! It's going on. Don't the great tales never end?"

Sam to Frodo - though it took me an age to find the place :rolleyes:

[mormegil]

Yes! Very well done. I thought the Don't and Never (being a double negative) would help on this one. Is that what did it?

[Kath]

To be honest no, but probably because I did it backwards! I started with 'end' then got to 'never' etc. The double negative got me the person who said it though so thanks for that and for my reward!

[mormegil]

Correct, and if I may ask, how did you get it? Was it the Great heart?

[Firefoot]

I had actually already guessed "Great heart" before the recent additions, but couldn't place it. Then the "will not be denied" and "grieve not" fell into place - but it was the "it is forgiven" that did it. I didn't really look at the rest of the quote.

[mormegil]

Even the orc-rags that you bore in the black land; Frodo, shall be preserved. No silks and linens, nor any armour or heraldry could be more honourable. But later I will find some other clothes, perhaps.

"I'll get there, if I leave everything but my bones behind, (said Sam). And I'll carry Mr. Frodo up myself, if it breaks my back and heart. So stop arguing."

[mormegil]

Correct! It is, of course, one of my all time favorites and epitomizes Samwise the stout-hearted to a "t"

Your turn.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Yes, it does...good ol' Sam :)

not difficult anymore now:

"But if there are many of these ruffians," said Merry, "it will certainly mean fighting. You won't rescue Lotho, or the Shire, just by being shocked and sad, my dear Frodo."

Correct. A rather hilarious line from Merry.

[mormegil]

It's okay your quote is a promising one that will more than make up for the delay.

Let's start with a good old "A" please

I had a question for all, how do you feel about capitilization in the quotes? Should we capitalize all proper names? Or does that make it too easty at times?

[Guinevere]

Funny you should ask this, Mormegil, I have been thinking about this right now ! When you look at the very start of this game (in 2002) you see that we used to write the whole quotes in Capital letters up until page 10, then suddenly people started writing "normal", and from the end of 2003, it was suddenly no more possible to write whole words in capital letters. (they turned into small letters when you posted) But apparently it can be done now again, (as I see in the "anagrams")
There are many good quotes I haven't used because there were proper names in them.... ;)


"----/ --A----/! -A-/ ---/ A--/! -------/ --------/ A--/ ------/ --/ ---/ -A--/, ---------/ -A-----/ ----/ ------/ A--/ -------/ ---/ A------/! ---/ --A---/ -------/ ---/ --/ --A-/ ----/ --A------/, A--/ ------/ -A-/ --A-----/ ----/ ---/ -----/ A--/ ----------/ ----/ -------/."

[mormegil]

I would propose that you capitilize the start of a scentence but leave proper names in lower case to add a degree of difficulty. Otherwise some words become too obvious.

Any thoughts?

"D" please

[Guinevere]

DA

"---D/ --A----/! -A-/ ---/ A--/! -------/ --------/ A-D/ ------/ --/ ---/ DA--/, ---------/ -A-----/ ----/ --D---/ A-D/ -------/ ---/ A------/! ---/ --A---/ -------/ ---/ --/ --AD/ ----/ --A-D----/, A-D/ ------/ -A-/ --A-----/ ----/ A-D/ -----/ A-D/ ----------/ ----/ -------/."

[Firefoot]

If you want to put it in all caps inside quotes, I realized that you just have to make the [QUOTE] lowercase: [quote]. I would say that whether we do it this way or just leaving proper names lowercase is up to the individual, but I agree that one of the two ways whould probably be used.

N's?

[Guinevere]

Thanks for the hint, Firefoot! Frankly, I am puzzled by this system... :eek: sometimes it allows me to use caps, and sometimes it doesn't.

[mormegil]

"T" would be helpful.

Glad to know that people don't get miffed by me not capitalizing words. :)

I think the caps/no caps has something to do with the system trying to prevent regular posts accidentally posted in all caps lock. It's really weird though.
