Quote Game-Part 8
Here we go with part 8. The same rules apply as before.
Basically, you take a quote and remove every second letter, and put a slash between words. Whoever identifies the last element, be it quote, speaker, or both posts the next one. example: A_l/_h_t/_s/_o_d/_o_s/_o_/g_i_t_r answer: All that is gold does not glitter, Gandalf's letter (or Bilbo Baggins) Anything from the books: The Hobbit, LOTR, the Silmarillion, or Unfinished Tales is fair game. Suggestions for posting: Some gamers find this method best, fastest, easiest and most accurate. When you've found your quote, type it all in without blanks, simply using the '/' instead of a space, as well as before and after each punctuation mark. Just after a punctuation mark can be a convenient place for a carriage return, if the spacing looks good. After typing, check for spelling and to see that all the words are correct. Then go through and replace every other letter with an underscore '_' - this goes quickly if you use the 'forward arrow' key to advance, use the 'delete' key and then add the underscore where the letter was. Oh - and we try our best to solve the quotes without looking them up.

Sorry - my own computer is getting a little maintenance lately. I've had some trouble with it. I'm posting this from a different one, but don't want to take up too much time here.
Hope to be back to action in just another day or two. You can skip me for now if you like, or take a little break on the game until I'm truly 'back'.

I will definitely wait. Sorry I haven't been answering - my thesis has been eating up both my time and my brainpower. So I haven't had any answers to give and I haven't had time to post them if I'd had them. But I am looking forward to Val's post.

Hm... it's been more than just a day or two... I know you're overrun and lazy, but I posted the one before Val, so I'm game for you guys to post any ol' time you like... Just whenever. Tell me if you want me to post one. I'd like to solve, though.

Well - I got my internet back about 3 nights ago, but have had much else to do. But still, it's time to get us going again:

"Speak not so! A year shall I ... every day that passes until your return."
Speaker: Eowyn?

I so didn't expect the speaker to be right... It's funny... Others show up for in between times, but not when there's a quote to be solved! Hm... Hold on, I will think for five minutes on what those other words might be.

Holy cow... I think you left off a couple of lines to this quote, Val!!!
"The/_o_m/of/_h_i_e/./You may say this to Theoden son of Thengol: /Upon/_a_/l_e_/before him, with/_a_r_n/or/_g_i_s_/him/. /_o_e/_a_/now/_i_e/as they/_a_e/_i_e_/, /and/_e_/shall keep what they call their own. /But on there/_r_a_/m_t_e_s/_e/_i_l/_p_a_/later. If change/_l_o_s/, /I will come myself to the king. Now I am on/_r_a_/n_e_/, /and I ask you/h_l_/,/or at least/_o_/t_d_n_s/. /You heard that/_e/_r_/p_r_u_n_/an orc-head /that/_a_r_e_/off/_u_/f_i_n_s/. /What may you tell us?"

Earniel's are all right so far - except for the 'may' at the very end.

"The doom of choice. You may say this to Theoden son of Thengol: Open war lies before him, with Sauron or against him. None may now live as they have lived, and few shall keep what they call their own. But of these great matters we will speak later. If chance allows, I will come myself to the king. Now I am in great need, and I ask for help, or at least for tidings. You heard that we are pursuing an orc-band that carried off our friends. What can you tell us?"
Speaker: Aragorn

Very good, Midge! Your turn.
