Guinevere · 02-19-2012, 11:05 AM

how about T?

Galadriel55 · 02-19-2012, 04:47 PM

TO (no T)

"----- / - / ----o-- / --- / ------- / -------_--o- / ----o-- / ----"

Guinevere · 02-20-2012, 08:34 AM

What, no tea for me?

let's try N then

Galadriel55 · 02-20-2012, 09:51 AM

We have coffee?

NOT (no T)

"----- / - / ----on- / --- / ------- / ------n_--o- / ----o-- / ----"

Guinevere · 02-22-2012, 01:57 PM

Well, it seems I can't do without the obligatory E's...

Galadriel55 · 02-22-2012, 04:33 PM

Don't tell me I haven't warned you!

NOTE (no T or E )

"----- / - / ----on- / --- / ------- / ------n_--o- / ----o-- / ----"

Guinevere · 02-23-2012, 03:16 AM

Ha! You managed to find a quote entirely without E's?

A please

Galadriel55 · 02-23-2012, 06:15 AM

No, I started reading a certain Tolkien book to look for one, but then remembered a nice E-free quote that's not too short or obscure.

NOTE (no T or E )

"----- / - / -a--on- / --a / ------- / -a---an_--o- / ----o-- / --a-"

Guinevere · 02-23-2012, 10:42 AM

How about Ss ?

Galadriel55 · 02-23-2012, 11:18 PM

SANOTE (no T or E )

"----- / - / -a--on- / s-a / --s---- / Sa---an_--o- / ----os- / s-a-"

Now it shouldn't be very difficult.

This is, of course, correct!

Haha, yes, orcish slang uses the letters that aren't very common in regular English, and doesn't use those that are.

I just wish Foley was around for this one...

Ah well, I'll just have to find another one without E's. Maybe not for next time, but eventually...

Folwren · 02-25-2012, 03:54 PM

Oh no! I missed the no 'e' sentence?? Dear me! How unfortunate.

Guinevere · 02-26-2012, 02:47 PM

OK, here is the next one:

"-----/!" (said .....) "-----/ -----/! -/ ----/ -----/ ---/ --/ ---/ ----/. ---/ ----/ -----/ ------/ --/ ---/ ------/ -/ ----/ ---------/ ---/."

Galadriel55 · 02-26-2012, 03:25 PM

Do I have to say which letter I would like to guess?

Guinevere · 02-26-2012, 05:23 PM

"-----/!" (said .....) "-----/ -----/! -/ ---e/ ---e-/ ---/ --/ --e/ ----/. ---/ ---e/ -e-e-/ ----e-/ -e/ ---/ ------/ -/ ---e/ -e-----e-/ ---/."

Galadriel55 · 02-26-2012, 07:23 PM

S, if you will.

Guinevere · 02-27-2012, 10:49 AM

Btw, there are some names in this quote, but I shall not write the capitals as it would be too obvious! (When this game was started, many years ago, we first used only capitals for this reason. But now it doesn't let you do this anymore.)
