By the way, glad to see you back, Guinevere.

Galadriel55 07-09-2012 02:43 PM

E's, if you will.

Folwren 07-09-2012 07:44 PM

Indeed! Actually, it was funny, when Guinevere asked for O's, I started thinking about how you would ask for E's soon, probably, so I started filling out the E's before the O's! It was funny.

"Probably"??? :smokin:

(Well, true, maybe a couple times I asked for T's instead of E's...)

But it is pretty funny. :cool::D

Anyways, may I have some N's, please?

Folwren 07-09-2012 08:23 PM

R S T L N E ! Then it's Palantir of Fortune!

Folwren 07-10-2012 03:10 PM

I'm confused.

I'll take the first letter - "R" - and add that to my collection. :)

NO EAR

It should have clicked earlier...

"The star-glass?" muttered Frodo... "Why yes! Why had I forgotten it? A light when all other lights go out! And now indeed light alone can help us."


Shelob's Lair, TTT. Frodo to Sam.

Folwren 07-10-2012 08:35 PM

Correct! Your go.

"-- / ------ / -- / ---------- /," said someone. "---- / -- / --- / -- / ---- / ------- / -- / ---- /. -- / ---- / --- / ---- / -- / -- / --------_------ /; --- / -- / --- / ----- / -- / -- / --- / ---- / -- / ---- / --- / ------- / --- / ----- /."

The underscore is a dash.

MCRmyGirl4eva 07-12-2012 12:40 PM

R S T L N E (Please somebody understand it)
Wheel Of Fortune give you those letters and then you start guessing letters.
I would know, my grandmother watched it all the time

Guinevere 07-12-2012 12:51 PM

let's start with A

Galadriel55 07-12-2012 01:56 PM

"-- / ------ / -- / -------a-- /," said someone. "--a- / -- / --- / -- / -a-- / ------- / -- / ---- /. -- / ---- / --- / ---- / -- / -- / -a------_-a---- /; --- / -- / a-- / ----- / -- / -- / --- / ---- / -- / ---- / --- / -a-a---- / --- / ----- /."


MCR, I looked it up, and these are the most commonly asked letters in Wheel of Fortune. But I still can't understand what you are trying to say. Here you only ask 1 letter at a time.

MCRmyGirl4eva 07-12-2012 02:39 PM

Yeah, I know. R-S-T-L-N-E; those are the five letters that they automatically give the person who reaches the bonus round. Then, they let you guess three consanants and a vowel, then you have to hazard a guess in under 30 seconds.

I know that you only guess one letter here; I was merely hoping somebody would appreciate the joke.

Now, the most commonly used letter in the English language: E

Sorry if I confused anybody, though. I just had to have a little laugh.

Galadriel55 07-12-2012 02:59 PM

*high-fives MCR* E's are the way to go! :cool:


EA

"-- / -----e / -e / ---e---a-- /," said someone. "--a- / -- / --- / -e / -a-e / -e---e- / -- / ---e /. -e / ---- / --e / ---- / -- / -- / -a------_-a--e- /; --- / -e / a-e / ----- / -- / -- / --- / -e-- / -- / -e-- / --- / -a-a---- / --e / E-e-- /."

MCRmyGirl4eva 07-12-2012 05:16 PM

*misses the high five due to severe lack of hand-eye coordination and gets smacked in the face by Galadriel 55* Well, that went well. LOL. :)

any R's?

Galadriel55 07-12-2012 05:53 PM

*apologizes profoundly for the bruise on MCR's face*


ARE

*Hugs Driel for assulting little sister* Don't worry about it... no real damage done.. in fact she looks better

May I have an H please?

Galadriel55 07-12-2012 06:44 PM

HARE

"-- / ---r-e / -e / ---er--a-- /," said someone. "-ha- / -- / -h- / -e / ha-e / -e---e- / -- / ---e /. -e / ---- / -he / R--- / -- / -- / -a--h---_-a--er /; --- / -e / are / ----- / -- / -- / --r / -e-- / -- / he-- / --- / -a-a---- / -he / E-e-- /."

crescendo. 07-12-2012 06:47 PM

An I please.

What book is it from, because we only have the Trilogy, the Hobbit, and The Sil

Galadriel55 07-12-2012 07:00 PM

A HIRE

"-- / ---r-e / -e / ---er--a-- /," said someone. "-ha- / i- / -h- / -e / ha-e / -e-i-e- / -- / ---e /. -e / ---- / -he / Ri-- / i- / -- / -a--hi--_-a--er /; --- / -e / are / --i-- / -- / -- / --r / -e-- / -- / he-- / --- / -a-ai--- / -he / E-e-- /."

It's from one of the books that you have. The quotes are usually from one of them. Once in a while there will be one from Children of Hurin (usually from me, since I adore that book), or from Unfinished Tales (a book that I don't have either). But mostly LOTR or TH, and The Sil.

crescendo. 07-12-2012 07:01 PM

An "O" please

crescendo. 07-12-2012 07:02 PM

This is MCR.

I would like a U, just to polish off the vowels. Thanks! *Ducks cresendo's flying fist*

Galadriel55 07-12-2012 07:06 PM

You two post too fast for me to follow! As soon as I have something here I see a new post in the Novices sub-forum, and before I read that there's more here.... gotta learn how to type faster...

AHIREOU

"O- / -our-e / -e / u--er--a-- /," said someone. "-ha- / i- / -h- / -e / ha-e / -e-i-e- / -o / -o-e /. -e / --o- / -he / Ri-- / i- / -o / -au-hi--_-a--er /; -u- / -e / are / -oi-- / -o / -o / our / -e-- / -o / he-- / -ou / -a-ai--- / -he / E-e-- /."

crescendo. 07-12-2012 07:11 PM

A "T" please

I know I do, lol, I can type almost 60 words a minute without using the homerow keys

Galadriel55 07-12-2012 07:13 PM

Tea is served. ^^

AHIREOUT

"O- / -our-e / -e / u--er--a-- /," said someone. "That / i- / -h- / -e / ha-e / -e-i-e- / to / -o-e /. -e / --o- / the / Ri-- / i- / -o / -au-hi--_-atter /; -ut / -e / are / -oi-- / to / -o / our / -e-t / to / he-- / -ou / -a-ai--t / the / E-e-- /."

crescendo. 07-12-2012 07:21 PM

I feel like I should know this one already, but it's not coming to mind

"W" please

Galadriel55 07-12-2012 07:53 PM

AHIREOUTW

"O- / -our-e / we / u--er--a-- /," said someone. "That / i- / wh- / we / ha-e / -e-i-e- / to / -o-e /. We / --ow / the / Ri-- / i- / -o / -au-hi--_-atter /; -ut / we / are / -oi-- / to / -o / our / -e-t / to / he-- / -ou / -a-ai--t / the / E-e-- /."


I guess it's a bit obscure... It's a LOTR quote.

crescendo. 07-12-2012 07:58 PM

"Of course we understand," said Merry firmly. "That is why we have decided to come. We know the Ring is no laughing-matter; but we are going to do our best to help you against the Enemy."

Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring
Chapter 5: A Conspiracy Unmasked

Galadriel55 07-12-2012 08:01 PM

Correct! Your turn!

"---/-----/---/--/-----/," laughed someone. "------/-/-----/------/-----/---/----/---/--/---/----/."

Galadriel55 07-12-2012 08:09 PM

Could I have my favourite E's? :Merisu:

crescendo. 07-12-2012 08:11 PM

Why of course

"---/--e--/---/-e/-----/," laughed someone. "------/-/-----/----e-/-e---/---/--e-/---/--/--e/---e/."

Galadriel55 07-12-2012 08:15 PM

Ok, one more for today and then hi ho, hi ho, to bed I quickly go... A's please!

"---/--ea-/---/-e/-----/," laughed someone. "------/-/-----/----e-/-ea--/---/--e-/-a-e/--/--e/---e/."
