Your requests have been NOTED.

Those were some good guesses. Should be pretty easy now.

That's the one. Take it away!

Aganzir 10-16-2014 04:52 PM

Aiee sorry I forgot all about this!

Er. Sorry about that. Channeled a baked potato in a tin can for a minute there.

Could I have an H?

Guinevere 10-24-2014 01:09 PM

Isn't the third word a mistake ?;)

Eruhen 10-24-2014 11:07 PM

Gotta be a typo.

"So many strange things have chanced that to learn the praise of a fair lady under the loving strokes of a Dwarf's axe will seem no great wonder."

-Éomer Éomunding to Gimli Glóin's son at their first parting near the eaves of Fangorn

Feel free to take it if you want, though, Guin. You noticed the typo first and I was beating my head off the keyboard trying to figure it.

Aganzir 10-28-2014 07:36 AM

Sorry for the delay - it is indeed a typo! I originally mistyped it while posting the quote on Facebook, and the typo persisted because I didn't have my books with me at the time I posted the sentence here.

Guinevere 10-30-2014 10:03 AM

Go ahead and take it, Eruhen!

That was a pretty good one.

Eruhen 10-31-2014 06:28 PM

Sorry for the delay, guys. Here you go.

"It is the way of my people to use light words at such times and say less than they mean. We fear to say too much. It robs us of the right words when a jest is out of place."

Merry to Aragorn in the Houses of Healing.

I once translated that quote into Swissgerman dialect for"Quotes in other languages" - I guess that's why it stuck to my mind, though that was many years ago, before translating tools ruined that game.

Eruhen 11-09-2014 06:11 PM

Game point to Guin. Your serve.

Guinevere 11-10-2014 03:45 PM

Thanks, Eruhen! :) Here is the next one:

Eruhen 11-10-2014 06:17 PM

Let's start off with an O.

Guinevere 11-11-2014 03:46 PM

Lots of O's!

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

Eruhen 11-13-2014 09:40 PM

Nobody else in two days? I'm slightly disappointed.

L, if you please.

Tar-Jêx 11-14-2014 04:27 AM

I don't even need to see where the Ls are to request an N.

I'm afraid that N will come up with only a few appearances, but I'll take what I can.

Aganzir 11-14-2014 01:22 PM

G please, just so Guinevere can spell long!
