The Saucepan Man 09-10-2003 06:55 PM

Found it!

Quote:
We are worn and famished after our long road and we have sick comrades. Now make haste and let us have no more words or your master may have something to say to you.
Fili, to the captains of the guards of Lake-Town.

The Saucepan Man 09-12-2003 07:29 AM
Good grief, Mariska! How on earth did you get that? Well done indeed. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Please proceed.

There you go!

Guinevere 09-12-2003 12:34 PM
D's, please! (Wow! You're really good to have found out the last one with so few letters! Especially since it wasn't something well known [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )

Mariska Greenleaf 09-12-2003 12:42 PM
Why thank you, but I guess luck really had something to do with it! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Some D's coming up...

Eruanna 09-12-2003 01:01 PM
May we have some Es please?

Evisse the Blue 09-12-2003 01:06 PM
lol - I cross-posted with Eruanna asking for the same letter! Ok, then: A please. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hmmm....and some Ts please. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Evisse the Blue 09-12-2003 04:07 PM
And don't forget the A's.

The Saucepan Man 09-12-2003 06:00 PM
And could I have the S's too please?

Beren87 09-12-2003 07:38 PM
R's, if you would

I always seem to only get in here enough to guess a letter, the quote is generally solved by the time I make it back again.

Edit: Doesn't this thread need restarted? It's 13 pages long now.

Mariska Greenleaf 09-13-2003 06:40 AM
Here are the T's, A's, S's and R's!

"For what cause Galadriel, were the high people of the Noldor driven forth as exiles from Aman? Or what evil lies on the sons of Feanor that they are so haughty and so fell?"

Mariska Greenleaf 09-15-2003 04:41 AM
You got it, Evisse!

The Saucepan Man 09-15-2003 07:08 AM
Sorry, Evisse, but this thread needs to be closed as it's becoming too long.

I will start a new one and include your question in the first post. Everyone, please feel free to continue the game there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The Saucepan Man 09-15-2003 07:16 AM
Palantir of Fortune 3!!!
 
Since the last thread became too long, I am opening this thread in order that this ever-popular game may continue.

The rules are simple. The question consists of a series of blanks representing a quote or extract from one of Tolkien's books. The blanks are gradually filled with letters requested by the players until one of the players is able to guess the quote.

You can join in requesting letters or make a guess any time. The person who correctly guesses the quote first gets to set the next one.

The current question was set by Evisse the Blue, and is as follows:

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

Oh, and Evisse added:

If you don't mind me jumping in, could you add on the I's, please?

elfearz1 09-15-2003 06:58 PM

Yep! Please proceed, Mariska! (lovely name - are you Scandinavian by any chance)?

Mariska Greenleaf 09-18-2003 01:16 AM
Thanks for the compliment! I'm not Scandinavian but Belgian... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
