Quote Game - Part 12 - Page 16

"Loath" cannot be correct for /L_t_/, as it has too many letters - but could we take out the superfluous a and use "Loth"?

***Valandil*** · 06-22-2016, 11:54 PM

Yes, "Loth" is correct, which is an adjective. "Loath" is a verb. Meanings somewhat similar.

***Varnafindë*** · 06-24-2016, 02:01 PM

these days of /_e_i_/.

The first word I manage to find with this combination is 'begin', which doesn't fit the context at all.
But this is the only word missing now, isn't it? I like to see it on top of the page.

Yes, that's the only word we need.

Butterbeer · 07-04-2016, 06:08 PM

Im absolutely stumped on that last word!!

***Varnafindë*** · 07-16-2016, 02:38 PM

Just in case it might help to have the whole line:
"and more strict is the command in these days of /_e_i_/."

I still don't know what the word is, though (brexit would be too long

), but I'm still thinking it over and will come back from time to time and see whether I can work out something.

***Valandil*** · 07-16-2016, 05:08 PM

Trying to figure out a hint that won't totally give it away.

***Valandil*** · 07-19-2016, 12:16 AM

I wonder if - as Earniel gave up the last one without us guessing the speaker - if I should just give the last word, and let Varna do the next quote. Since she got the next-to-last word. What do you Quote Game players think?

And I realized too... we never got that speaker from Earniel. Who was it???

***Valandil*** · 07-30-2016, 01:11 AM

*chirp-chirp* say the Cricketts

***Earniel*** · 07-31-2016, 04:27 PM

Well, there were a lot of crickets where I was last month, a lot more than internet connections...

Lemme dig out my clues I gave for the name of the speaker of my last quote:

Quote:

Afghan --> Afghan --> Aghan
or
Aghast --> aghast+n --> Aghan

Let Varna have a next quote is she wants, the last word eludes me too.

***Valandil*** · 07-31-2016, 07:30 PM

I would NEVER have gotten"Aghan", even with your clues!

My word was "peril"

Varna - you're up!

Earniel - welcome back!

***Varnafindë*** · 08-01-2016, 09:03 PM

I'll post a quote tomorrow

***Varnafindë*** · 08-05-2016, 09:31 AM

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, ...

***Earniel*** · 08-05-2016, 02:40 PM

Eh, we're not going anywhere.

Midge · 08-10-2016, 01:37 PM

Whew. Earn, I read that and thought you meant, this thread isn't going anywhere and is dead now. I pancaked. *Panicked.

***Earniel*** · 08-12-2016, 07:31 AM

Well, it might take a little more than me to kill off the quote thread. This thing is rather robust, it keeps coming back.

Butterbeer · 09-11-2016, 02:26 PM

Think val's got a few wrong there?

erm ... Merry?

***Varnafindë*** · 09-11-2016, 04:53 PM

Val did get some wrong, and Butterbeer corrected them all - and all his additions were correct, too.
Including Merry as the speaker.

Good job, Butterbeer - you're next!
