***Valandil*** · 02-07-2011, 12:31 AM

Halbarad is correct! Your turn, EV!

EllethValatari · 02-07-2011, 09:02 PM

Sorry it took me so long to post one-new to this thread

"/T_e_e_o_e/I/_ _y/t_at/_e/_ _l_/g_/_n,/a_ _/t_ _s/d_o_/I/_dd/:/t_e/d_ed_/th_t/ w_/s_a_l/_o/_h_ll/_e/t_e/ma_te_/o_/so_g/u_t_l/t_e/la_t/_ay_/_f/A_ _a/."

Good luck!

***Valandil*** · 02-07-2011, 10:41 PM

Elleth - I thought it might be your first. Stick with it. On the opening post, there are some hints, along with the rules of how we try to post these. Take a look at those, they might be helpful. For one, if you didn't do this, it actually turns out to be easier to type in the entire quote - with the slashes instead of spaces - and then go back over and replace every other letter with an underscore.

"Therefore I say that we will go on,
and this /d_o_/ I add: the deed that we shall do shall be the
master of song until the last days of Arda."

***Valandil*** · 02-07-2011, 10:49 PM

Oh wait - that other word is 'doom'?

And instead of 'master' - how about 'matter'?

And then - is the speaker Feanor?

Yes and yes! Nice work-I'll have to find a harder one next time!

I did post the whole quote at first-I was referring to how fast you all respond! I didn't want to keep you waiting!

***Valandil*** · 02-08-2011, 08:53 AM

Don't worry... I'm the one who keeps everyone waiting!

Well... let's see now. I'll bold your incorrect words:

Wrong words bolded:

I have also underlined a part where you ran two words together (lost a '/' slash)

"They are a strange/_o_p_n_/,/these/_e_c_m_r_/.

even as Aragorn/_i_s_l_/;/and they are silent."

***Valandil*** · 02-09-2011, 02:40 PM

All those solves are correct, Galenavar!

Anyone know the speaker? Or want to continue on with the word search?

Midge · 02-09-2011, 08:31 PM

RAR! And I was RIGHT too, man!

"They are a strange company, these newcomers.
Stout men and lordly they are,
and the Riders of Rohan look almost as dogs beside them;
For they are grim men of face,
worn like weathered rocks for the most part,
even as Aragorn himself; and they are silent."

That word "almost" is really not easy to get, is it?

Gimli

Whew. That was REALLY hard work. I'm off to the Teacup for a bit of refreshment.

***Valandil*** · 02-09-2011, 08:43 PM

Not quite done yet though. You're all correct (including speaker), except: "dogs"

EllethValatari · 02-09-2011, 08:49 PM

"They are a strange/company/,/these/newcomers/.

-Gimli, right? (from RotK)

***Valandil*** · 02-09-2011, 10:21 PM

Elleth - yes, all we were missing was 'boys' - and you got that correct. Your turn!

You might try reading through the opening post - and paying attention to the hints on posting - before you post your next. Keep up the good work though!

"Yet if it stands but a little while,
then out of your house shall come the hope of elves and men.
This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death:
though we /_a_t/_e_e/_o_e_e_/,

from you and from me a new star shall arise. Farwell!"
