Diamond18 06-02-2006 05:26 PM

I still don't get it even knowing the answer. :confused:

Valier 06-02-2006 06:01 PM

You have to know Orson Scott Card's book The speaker for the dead, I think Orual's title is speaker for the dead.

mormegil 06-02-2006 06:05 PM

Yes the hint was Card's Ender which is of course related to the series Ender's Game. A later book was Speaker for the Dead and his PT is Speaker of the Dead. Sorry for having such an awful clue. :(

Kath 06-02-2006 06:07 PM

It wasn't an awful clue morm, we're just not well-read enough to know the answer ;)

Valier 06-02-2006 06:13 PM

I thought it was a good clue!:) I never even thought to look at peoples titles, from now on I will! Good job Morm for the question and good job to Jenny for getting it! Nice to see another person who has read the books (besides me and Jenny)

Roa_Aoife 06-02-2006 07:33 PM

*hits self in head* I adore that series, and I didn't get it.... I must be losing my mind. So Jenny's clue is up next?

JennyHallu 06-02-2006 09:16 PM

Yes, as soon as I come up with a clue. I was so pleased with myself for coming up with an answer I ignored the little man in my head saying "But you'll have to have a clue! You don't have a clue!" I just shushed it with the tried and true "Why start now?"

JennyHallu 06-02-2006 09:18 PM

Here...this is simple but should hold you:

Luke's other sister

Glirdan 06-02-2006 09:35 PM

Ahh! To simple, that would be Lhuna.

Diamond18 06-02-2006 10:55 PM

Eowyn Skywalker

Glirdan 06-03-2006 06:31 AM

Ok, now that I think of it, that was to simple. But I thought it would have been a little more cryptic...hmm...Jenny?

JennyHallu 06-03-2006 08:11 AM

Diamond has it. It was pathetically simple, I know...but I really didn't have a clue.

Diamond18 06-03-2006 05:39 PM

I really appreciated the simple clue after Morm's brain soupifer. ;) (Which was really clever, and I SO would have gotten if I'd read any Orson Scott Card. Or worked in a library and saw his books daily. Oh, er... nevermind then.)

Anyway,

Noggin's Meteor Dialler

Kath 06-03-2006 05:51 PM

Ok there is some seriously mad reasoning behind this so I'm just going to post the guess not how I got there!

Fea?

Diamond18 06-03-2006 06:07 PM

Sorry, nope!

mormegil 06-03-2006 09:59 PM

Silly question, does it have anything to do with Noggin Television Station?

Diamond18 06-04-2006 12:59 PM

No. Especially since I have no idea what that is. :p

mormegil 06-04-2006 02:18 PM

Nogrod?

No kids, I see :D

Diamond18 06-04-2006 02:49 PM

No on both counts. ;)

Diamond18 06-05-2006 11:14 AM

Here's a little hintsy wintsy:

Think anagrammacally.

Kath 06-05-2006 11:41 AM

Ah! It's Durelin.

"Estelo dagnir, Melo ring" becomes Noggin's meteor dialler :)

Diamond18 06-05-2006 11:49 AM

Correct!

Take it away, Quath.

Kath 06-05-2006 11:50 AM

It'll have to be easy. There's a reason I don't often reply to these!

As cold as death.

Fraid not.

symestreem 06-05-2006 02:59 PM

arcticstorm?

Kath 06-05-2006 03:40 PM

symestreem! I've heard many good things about you :)

However, you're not right.

Durelin 06-05-2006 03:48 PM

Hookbill the Goomba perhaps?

"Alive without breath" is another part of Gollum's riddle about fish as I recall.

Kath 06-05-2006 03:53 PM

That's the one Durelin :)

Durelin 06-05-2006 05:20 PM

Okey doke, here's a hint:

The sound of baking chocolate.

Knowing who you probably heard it from, I'm not particularly cheered... :eek:

Is it Encaitare?

Durelin 06-05-2006 06:28 PM

Quite!

symestreem 06-05-2006 06:59 PM

Frankenstein pen. :)

Glirdan 06-05-2006 07:06 PM

B-W comes to mind...yet I think it's probably more cryptic isn't it?

symestreem 06-05-2006 09:23 PM

No, and no.

:)

Alcarillo 06-05-2006 09:41 PM

Crystal Heart comes to mind, being an RPer and having "risen from the dead".

You're on the right track with the last part of your statement, but it's not Crystal Heart.

Actually, come to think of it, you're on the right track with the second part of your statement, too.

Lhunardawen 06-06-2006 02:07 AM

What in Arda are you doing here, symestreem? :eek: (And yes, I'm not used to calling you that - not anymore.)

Anyways, Diamond18? A way wild guess here. Well, she's an RPer, and she has just lately roamed around the rest of the forum again.

Bothering your brother. ;)

Nope, not Diamond18. Here's a hint: the clue refers to a personal title.
