Hmmm, let me see, what could I use :rolleyes:

How about an E?

I would like an "H" please

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

How about an A?

[Aganzir]

"Comfort me not with wizards!" said Denethor. "The fool's hope has failed. The Enemy has found it, and now his power waxes; he sees our very thoughts, and all we do is ruinous."

[Guinevere]

Yes; good work, Aganzir! :)

[Aganzir]

Thanks. :) The next one, then:

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

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I just think that we might need some I's!

Had to refresh my nerves somewhere :) (for details, see the Quiz Room)

[Aganzir]

Righ.. oh, wait, no! "The darkness have you." I know it's thee in the Sil, but this quote was from CoH. ;)

Anyway, go ahead.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Oh, I thought it was a typo from you :) Okay, whatever.

Hmm...

You may continue with a new one.

[Nerwen]

Damn! You just beat me to it, Aganzir!:mad:

[Aganzir]

Sorry Nerwen. :D

"----- / --- / ------- / ---- / --- / ---- / --- / --- / -- / -------. / ---- / -----!"

[Nerwen]

Well, how about some T, then?

[Aganzir]

T

"----- / --- / ------- / ---- / --- / ---- / t-- / --- / -- / -------. / ---- / ----t!"

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Could you give me an A, please?

[Aganzir]

TA

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Let's try something untraditional. What about F?

[Aganzir]

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Oh, yeah. I know.

[Aganzir]

Yes you do. Your turn. :)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Here we go.

Wow :eek: Right you are, obviously. Your turn.

P.S. I cannot explain it, but I was mysteriously lucky today. I am busy with preparing an RPG (and watching the presidental election) but I always checked the computer only a few minutes after someone posted here.

[Aganzir]

According to my experience, there are, apart from Númenor, few long words that end with 'r'. And after that it was quite easy. ;)

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

[Nerwen]

You're scary, Aganzir!

How about an A, to begin with?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Gimme some A, please.

EDIT: x-ed, so gimme E instead :)

[Aganzir]

Thank you, Nerwen. :D

AE

"-e--, / -e-e / a- / -a--, / -ea- / ---e---, / -- / --e / ----e- / -- / --e / -ea / ---e- / --e / e-- / -- / --- / -e-------- / -- / -----e (-) ea---."

Hm, of course.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yes, exactly as I thought.

Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth.

[Aganzir]

Yep.

I had a feeling it might be easy, but... 13 minutes. :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

:D Almost a real-time game, right?

Well, good letters picked. It was immediately apparent what the last words are and I was suspicious that "sea" is among the words at the beginning. And with the T most of it was obvious.

All right. Here's a new one:

"---, / -- / ----- / -- / --, / --'-- / -- / --- / ---- / ---- / -----! / --'- / ----- / --. / ---'- / --- / ----- / ----- / ----- / ---?"

[Aganzir]

Bah, surely just good luck. ;)

Anyway, any C's?

[Nerwen]

Dammit, I always seem to get here too late!

N?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

C (none) N

"---, / -- / ---n- / -- / --, / --'-- / -n / --- / ---- / ---- / -----! / --'- / ---n- / -n. / --n'- / --- / ----- / ----- / n---- / -n-?"

You may continue with a new one.

Finally!

Here's the next one:

[Guinevere]

I'd like some T to start with

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

And give us an O when you are at it.

[McCaber]

And S, while you're still going strong.

[Nerwen]

And E, please.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

And also give us... (okay, no, I am silent) :D

[Aganzir]

TOSE

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Not as useful as I hoped. If you could give us a R, then.

btw - seeing the thread title and your screenname under it on the main forum page, I for a moment read it as "Aganzir of Fortune". :D Probably it is something like "Soldier of Fortune".

Haha. :D

Ladies and Gentlemen, for the first time since 16-11-2006. . .I, Rune is the holder of this thread.

“---/-----!/---/--/-/----/---,/--/-----/---/---/---/-----/-----,/------/---/----/--/---/------/--/-------.”
I hope it haven't been used before.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Even if it were. Anyway, for this great occassion, Mr. Rune, I would like to ask you for a V, please.

[Aganzir]

V for vendetta, T for me, please.

[McCaber]

Are you sure it's not V for vowel?

Anyway, I would like an A, perhaps even more than one.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

VTA

“A--/----t!/--t/--/-/----/---,/--/-at--/t--/---/---/t-at-/-----,/------/---/----/--/a--/-----t/t-/-------.”
Sorry Legate, but because McCaber needed more than one "a" I could not fit in any "v's"

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

You just ruined it, McCaber.

V for vendetta, T for me, please.

Who do you call vendetta???

Though yes, maybe after these dreams of yours...

Anyway, Rune, I would like to ask you for a R then.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

VTAR

“A--/r---t!/--t/--/-/--r-/---,/--/-at--/t--/---/---/t-at-/-----,/----r-/---/----/--/a--/r---rt/t-/-----r-.”

I was on my way to bed, but as a favor and if it can shut you up then I shall grant you some "I's"

[McCaber]

Heh, sorry about that V, Legate.

Could I have an S?

[Aganzir]

Though yes, maybe after these dreams of yours...
Hey, there have been just two of them! (But if it makes you any happier, there are downers my subconscious treats so much worse, at least IMO, than you that I've never even dared to mention those dreams.)

Some H for me, please.

I'd just like an E.

"I don't like anything here at all ... step or stone, breath or bone. Earth, air and water all seem accursed. But so our path is laid."

–Frodo to Sam, The Stairs of Cirith Ungol.

[McCaber]

Absolutely correct.

[Nerwen]

Oops! I left the actual quote in! :o:o

Take two:

"-/ --/ -----/. -/ -------/."

[Aganzir]

I, please. :)

[Nerwen]

I

"i/ --/ -----/. I/ -------/."

[Guinevere]

Usually the shorter quotes are harder to find out than the long ones.
But this time I take a guess:

"I am Ugluk. I command."

[Nerwen]

That's it.

Excellent, Guinevere.

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Nerwen.:)

At last the normal links are working again!:http://www.myrias.de/Templates/Webprojekt/images/luxhello.gif
Yesterday just while I wanted to add the letters requested in the "Barrowdowns.com." site, the whole thing vanished suddenly!

HARVEST

-/ have/ see-/ three/ a-es/ --/ the/ -est/ --/ the/ --r--/, a--/ -a--/ -e-eats/, a--/ -a--/ -r--t-ess/ v--t-r-es/.

BTW, if you recognize the whole sentence, go ahead and post it, you don't have to continue asking for letters!

[McCaber]

CS

"-/ --/ ---/ ----------/ --/ -------'s/ s---/, --c----/ ------/ -s/ ----------/ --/ --/ s---/, --/ ---/ -----s----/ --/."
