Quote Game - Part 10 - Page 12

Midge · 10-30-2008, 03:31 PM

nvm. I checked. It IS "squirrels". What an odd thing to say!

***VarnafindÃ«*** · 10-30-2008, 09:27 PM

I guess that for some reason, squirrel fur might be more valuable than rabbit fur?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 10-31-2008, 11:13 AM

Was the speaker confirmed?

She said that after I had suggested Bilbo for the speaker, so I hope she included that as right ...

Midge · 11-03-2008, 03:10 PM

Bilbo is right. I was afraid that I had the quote. Glad I didn't.

***VarnafindÃ«*** · 11-03-2008, 03:58 PM

Does this mean I should do the next quote without us waiting any longer for Rian?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 11-03-2008, 06:15 PM

I think so.

***VarnafindÃ«*** · 11-03-2008, 09:07 PM

Here goes, then:

"Hail /E_r_n_i_/, bearer of light before the Sun and Moon!

jewel in the sunset, radiant in the morning!"

Midge · 11-03-2008, 11:50 PM

Earendil, Splendour of the Children of Earth...

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 11-04-2008, 11:19 AM

Guess I'm too late. . .

Midge · 11-04-2008, 11:58 AM

Still got a speaker up in the air.

go check out the Narnia quote game, if you haven't already. I posted a nice long one last night, just to quench your quote-solving hankerings!

Is it Eonwe? when Earendil landed on the blessed land?

***VarnafindÃ«*** · 11-05-2008, 06:08 AM

All correct!
Ilfirin is next.

Ilfirin · 11-05-2008, 07:50 AM

Aha! My first quote.

S_t/_o_/t_e_e/;/_n_/l_o_/o_t/_p_n/_h_/l_n_s/_h_r_/e_i_/a_d/_e_p_i_/s_a_l/_o_e/_p_n/_h_s_ /w_o_/t_o_/l_v_s_/./T_o_/h_s_/d_r_d/_o/_o_k/_e/,/_n_/t_/ q_e_t_o_/t_e/_o_e_/o_/_e_k_r/,/_a_t_r/o_/t_e/_a_e_/o_/A_d_/./T_e_e_o_e/ _i_h/_y/_y_s/_h_u/s_a_t/_e_/,/a_d/_i_h/_y/_a_s/_h_u/_h_l_/_e_r/;/_n_/ n_v_r/_h_l_/t_o_/m_v_/f_o_/t_i_/p_a_e/_n_i_/a_l/_s/_u_f_l_e_/u_t_/i_s/ _i_t_r/_n_.

Phew

Anyone got some shortcuts? This was my first time.

Ilfirin

***Valandil*** · 11-05-2008, 08:15 AM

Hey Ilfirin - congratulations!

Did you read the opening post of the thread? As well as the game rules, there are a few basic tips for typing in quotes.

"Sit you there; and look out upon the lands where /e_i_/ and
_e_p_i_/ shall come upon /_h_s_/w_o_/ thou livest.
Thou hast dared to /_o_k/ me, and to question the /_o_e_/ of Melkor,
/_a_t_r/ of the /_a_e_/ of Arda.
Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see,
and with my ears though shalt hear;
and never shalt though move from this place until all
is fulfilled unto its bitter end."

Speaker is Morgoth

Ilfirin · 11-05-2008, 09:07 AM

Thank you! Thank you!

I thought that may be you guys use some sort of text editor or something. Never mind. S/W engineers are accustomed to using short cuts for anything and everything

.

All your additions are right , except for 'livest'.

Speaker is right too.

Ilfirin

My technique is to mark the letter with the mouse and then replace it with the underscore.
It still takes some time ...

My contribution:
/those/whom/ thou lovest.
dared to /mock/ me

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 11-05-2008, 10:08 AM

Sit you there; and look out upon the lands where evil and
despair shall come upon those whom thou lovest.
Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor,
master of the fates of Arda.
Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see,
and with my ears though shalt hear;
and never shalt though move from this place until all
is fulfilled unto its bitter end.

Ilfirin

My technique is to use the ever-hated-by-computer-geeks-at-large Internet Explorer browser, which allows you to use the [insert] key. Basically I type it in using / instead of spaces, punch the [insert] key and then I start at the beginning again and start this rhythm of shift+[- key] then the left arrow key. When I get to the /s I hit the arrow key twice. Depending on the length of my quote, it takes a relatively short amount of time.

Shucks... I was too late to take a stab at solving the quote.. I wouldn't come up with better adds than DPR did.
