Here is a (hopefully not too) short one:

"--/ ----/ --/ ---/ ----/ --/ -----/!" said ....... "-/ ----/ ---/ ------/. ----/ ------/."

mhagain 02-27-2014 12:29 PM

I'll take an "S".

Guinevere 02-27-2014 12:31 PM

S

"S-/ ----/ -s/ ---/ ----/ --/ -----/!" said ....... "-/ ----/ ---/ ------/. ----/ ------/."

Aganzir 03-02-2014 05:45 AM

Tuor in Gondolin 03-02-2014 03:37 PM

mhagain 03-04-2014 02:35 PM

I know it but I'll let someone else get all the way with this one.

Meanwhile, a "T".

Guinevere 03-05-2014 06:58 AM

Thanks for reviving the thread, Mithalwen!:)

Mithalwen 04-27-2014 12:46 PM

Ah yes, I thought it was that way..'"so that's the king of Rohan!" Said Merry, "a fine old fellow, very polite"' To Pippin in the wreck of Isengard. No problem. I am very stuck on the password thread.:p

Guinevere 04-27-2014 01:12 PM

Nobody will read 389 pages (15543posts)!:eek::D

Mithalwen 04-28-2014 07:45 AM

A

"------/ --a-- / --- / ------- / -- / ----------- /---- / ------ /---- / -----'- / --- /," -- / -------- /. "---- / ------ / a-- /----- /----- / a-- / --- / ----- / ---- / --a-- /, a-- / ------- / a-- / --- / ---- / --a-- / -- / -a-/ -a-- / -- / --- / ---- / --a- / -- / ----- / --- / ------."

Mithalwen 04-28-2014 07:47 AM

Possibly not but embarassing if recent..

tom the eldest 04-28-2014 08:28 AM

I start with 's'.

Mithalwen 04-28-2014 09:01 AM

AS

"------/ s-a-- / --- / ------s/ -- / s---------- /---- / ------ /---- / -----'s / --- /," -- / -------- /. "---- / -----s / a-- /s---- /----- / a-- / --- / ----- / ---- / --@ss/, a-- / ------- / a-- / --- / ---- / --a-s/ -- / -a-/ -a-- / -- / --- / ---- / --a- / -- / ----- / --- / ------."[/QUOTE]

tom the eldest 04-28-2014 09:56 AM

How about 'u'?

Mithalwen 04-28-2014 10:13 AM

tom the eldest 04-29-2014 12:22 AM

I don't see any such rule among the first posts, and I don't think I've ever followed it, and at one point there were only two active players but the game went on (with only one guessing). So I think there's no harm in a double guess.

Mithalwen 04-29-2014 07:53 AM

But if there is only lne guesser, with no guess limits, there is nl point to the game. They might aswell post the alphabet and. I might as well post the quote. ?:cool:

Mithalwen 04-29-2014 10:12 AM

Ok how about the copromise of one guess per poster per day unless someone else posts inbetween? So..

Guinevere 04-29-2014 12:58 PM

How about T?

Concerning the rules: it was indeed often like Galadriel55 said, that for days and even weeks there were only two players (one of them being me;) ) but usually I only asked one letter per day, since I was always hoping more guessers would join us, and I'm not always at the computer. I don't think there was no point to it: the aim and the fun is to guess the quote with as few letters as possible. But I see what you mean: one and the same person asking for many letters in a quick succession... So I agree on your compromise, Mithalwen.

Mithalwen 04-30-2014 08:45 AM

USA T

"--t---/ s-a-- / t-- / ------s/ -- / s---------- /---- / ------ /u-t- / -----'s / --- /," -- / -u--u--- /. "---- / --u--s / a-- /s---- /t---- / a-- / --- / ----- / --t- / --@ss/, a-- / t---u-- / a-- / t-- / ---- / --a-s/ -- / -a-/ -a-- / -t /t-- / ---- / t-a- / -- / ----- / --t / ------."

Okies, I have included the u but the t more helpful.
