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.

"E" if you please firefoot.

the guy who be short 07-13-2005 11:00 AM
"A" please. The first and therefore most common letter.

Do not doubt my logic! :mad:

Firefoot 07-13-2005 11:09 AM
E, A
Quote:
"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 07-13-2005 11:21 AM
Very well! I declare most-common-letter war on mormegil! :D

Gimme some "T"s, lass!

mormegil 07-13-2005 11:30 AM
I'll top that with an "S"

Firefoot 07-13-2005 12:00 PM
T, S
Quote:
"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 07-13-2005 12:17 PM
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 07-13-2005 12:44 PM
N

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.

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 07-13-2005 12:56 PM
Where is that evil smiley?

Firefoot 07-13-2005 01:18 PM
I'll do it for you, TGWBS:

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

the guy who be short 07-13-2005 02:37 PM
-/---/--/----/-----,/-----/-/---'-/--------./-/----/--/------.

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

mormegil 07-13-2005 02:39 PM
Ya but don't waste too much time gloating :mad:

"E" please

Never again will I guess W

Folwren 07-13-2005 02:41 PM
That was uncommonly funny, Morm.

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

Firefoot 07-13-2005 02:57 PM
T's?

Kath 07-13-2005 03:04 PM
L's again please.

Guinevere 07-13-2005 03:05 PM
...and perhaps there are some O's ? (not as frequent as E's , but often quite revealing...)
