Wow, great job, Guinevere (I love your name btw. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])! Well, I knew it was pretty easy but with only three letters...I'm speechless!
Ok, carry on now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Guinevere 03-27-2003 05:13 PM

Thank you, Annunfuiniel! Actually the clue for me was: ,SA-, [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I enjoy the fact that here in the Palantir of Fortune we can use well known quotes and poems that would otherwise be too easy. You just need less letters to guess those.

Well, here is a new one:

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

Eruanna 03-27-2003 05:15 PM

May we have an A please?

gilraën 03-27-2003 06:11 PM

May I have an E please?

Eressië Ailin 03-27-2003 06:57 PM

'H' please.

Gil-Galad 03-27-2003 07:19 PM

b may i ask

Guinevere 03-28-2003 04:42 AM

"-----/ ---/ --E----H/! ---H--/ -A-/ -HE/ -A--E-/,
-EE-/ -A-/ H--/ E-----/. -HE-/ H--/ -----/ --/ -A--E-/,
---E-/ -HE-/ -HA--/ -EE-/. -A-/ ---/ -A---/ --/!


Btw, somewhere in the beginning of this thread, someone (I think it was Diamond18) guessed "Gil-Galad was an Elven-king etc" without any letters, only because of the two hyphens and the statement that it was a song. That was cool! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

lathspell 03-28-2003 05:56 AM

Elanor 03-28-2003 01:17 PM

Sorry, only one F and no B's at all.

"W" was a good choice! I guess now you can see what it is! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

gilraën 03-28-2003 05:26 PM

Mourn not overmuch! Mighty was the fallen, meet was his ending. When
his mound is raised, women then shall weep. War now calls us!
