I think you'll find i gave the correct answer just shy of almost 4 weeks ago!::ee k:
For reference it was either the 2nd or 3rd of February, varying with local time and server time. |

If you're going to be around, you're welcome to take the quote. Lately it's been like Pong between Val and me.

It wasn't a 'guess' Midge -it was the answer which i guess you should perhaps have 'guessed' by my telling you the answer was literally staring you in the face, given i had literally posted it above your reply!
If you recall the scene of the opening of the doors of Moria, the answer is literally written above them! Perhaps i should have added a quotation mark on 'wonder' for the sake of absolute clarity, but quite honestly i thought using the missing word wonder, with speaker and context should have been more than enough! Especially as the Quizzer himself had said on the 30th of January: Quote:
.. but i had thought the correct speaker, at the barrow and the last missing word would clearly be enough to at least solicit a reply? At worst, surely you would expect the quiz master / current Quote Riddler to at least reply to the post, to clarify, if they, like you had any doubt, rather than just completely ignore the reply for 3 and a half weeks, and then say to you 'correct' within 26 minutes or without back checking for previous replies first? Now i'd put the delay down to Val moving house and not thought anything of it and how you got mellons to fit in to those letters was hilarious However,as for who takes the quote next, that is clearly up to Val to respond to, and perhaps also explain why he didn't reply to a players answer? Im hoping it was just an oversight, which is why i replied on the 28th feb. Or perhaps you are right, and you two consider this game your own personal game of 'ping pong' .. and no others are encouraged to post or are welcome here? I sincerely hope that is not the case, but if it IS the latter, would you two just please make that clear to everyone, instead of wasting peoples time and making them feel bad? If it isn't the case, as i hope, then its up to Val to adjudicate. Best wishes, BB |

So let me be clear (as you asked): COME ONE, COME ALL! COME PLAY THE QUOTE GAME! IT'LL BE FUN! THERE MIGHT BE VIRTUAL COOKIES! And if I did do something to make you feel unwanted or anything negative, I truly apologize. Even though I am far from perfect, "Make other people feel bad" is not on my to-do list. Now, according to the rules, you get the next quote if you want it. You gonna post?

BB, you're reading too much into it. It's near impossible from the context of your earlier post to deduce you meant that one word as part of the quote. You can't blame us for not noticing.
Now be a dear and give us a quote. Yeah, about that... I have to say that sometimes- more often than one'd think- the final word does elude me and I kinda feel bad because I think people will suspect me of doing it on purpose out of laziness. |

Well, it's the FINAL word for a reason. If it were easy, we'd have guessed it back when we got all the "the"s and "and"s.

'On' is wrong, the rest correct.

"Or to shepherds. But mortals have not been our study. We have other /_u_i_e_s."
Don't remember if he was named - but I think the speaker was an Elf of Rivendell. "shepherds" was tough, until I got that "or" - and I've got to hammer out that last word. The words that first come to mind don't fit. Common enough problem in this game.

Regarding the quote, all correct so far, just the last word needed.
Regarding the speaker, I can confirm the speaker has a name, and that name will be required. I will not, at this point, without an actual guess on the speaker's name, either confirm or deny any supplied speculation on the speaker's species or their situational scenario at time of speaking.... but if it helps any, i will confirm (at least to the best of my knowledge) that the speaker was bipedal |

Junipers does fit, and indeed makes great Gin
So top marks for a fun answer Sadly, not correct. Galdor makes more sense (but not as good Gin) but is also incorrect i'm affraid |

Hubby looked it up and told me the answer. Now I can't guess.

Wasn't Erestor i'm afraid.
That's a shame Midge. The speaker is fairly obscure, but Val's first instinct was on the right lines |
