oh... i just always did. i didn't really think it would be anything else.

***Rían*** · 07-25-2007, 03:15 PM

That's it, Midge!

I always liked that line - so snarky and threatening - so Mordor-ish!

I think it says "servant of Sauron", so it's not specifically named as a ringwraith - I have a faint memory of JRRT saying it was, though, in one of his letters or something, but maybe I"m wrong.

Your go, Midge!

Midge · 07-26-2007, 12:18 AM

okay... my go.

I didn't remember a quote from "Letters" - but could've easily forgotten it. I just wonder - especially with the other activities of the Nazgul outlined in "Hunt for the Ring" - if this might not have been the Mouth of Sauron.

Anyway...

Happily I know something of it."

Midge · 07-27-2007, 12:39 AM

All good so far... now, just the one word and the speaker!

Who's gonna guess it? Will we ever know? My mouse just slipped off my knee... man!

***Valandil*** · 07-28-2007, 11:13 PM

"errand"?

I'm drawing a blank on the speaker.

Midge · 07-28-2007, 11:51 PM

errand is right. The speaker may be hard to guess, yes.

***Valandil*** · 07-28-2007, 11:53 PM

Strider?

Butterbeer · 07-31-2007, 06:09 PM

Glad you guys moved on - awfully sorry about that.

Midge is a she - got it!

...don't need to tell me twice - as i say to the sat Nav when i don't listen!

i was on the old blower the other day (in a rush no less) and spent 20 mins going north away, when i should have been going South ...ahem.

Rian - i'll check cc's mail - but i haven't a clue what we were talking about.

....

end of disruption to normal gaming - sorry guys.

have fun!

best, BB

Butterbeer · 07-31-2007, 06:12 PM

er, i know the speaker -but quite frankly - i am not going to say!

***Valandil*** · 08-01-2007, 11:04 PM

Midge... where are you??

We need someone to tell us if we're right, so we can post - or if we're wrong, so we can guess again!

Landroval · 08-02-2007, 07:18 AM

It's not Strider...

***Valandil*** · 08-03-2007, 08:42 PM

Smaug?

Midge · 08-03-2007, 11:20 PM

Soorrry, guys... I forgot to mention that I was going away for a week to be a counselor at a camp for fourth to seventh grade girls... oops... no, not Strider or Smaug...

And just so you know, I am not all about women's rights or anything way political like that... I just think it's weird to be referred to as the opposite member of the sex which you actually are... try it once in a while. It's weird, trust me.

Midge · 08-03-2007, 11:56 PM

never mind

I posted teh same thing twice.

Midge · 08-05-2007, 12:40 AM

All right, so I refuted your guesses... Is that any reason to stop figuring it out?

Sorry - still just drawing a blank on speakers.

Saruman?

If not - can you start hinting around?

And... could someone else start guessing along with me?

Midge · 08-05-2007, 04:41 PM

You are getting much closer with Saruman than with your other guesses. Here's a hint.. move away from people whose names start with S. It was said to Strider... although by that time, he was Aragorn. And the speaker isn't named by name when he/she said it... but it was someone majorly important in the trilogy...

Does that make up for my weeklong silence?

***Valandil*** · 08-05-2007, 10:49 PM

Arwen?

No - just kidding...

Gandalf?

(I think I wrongly guessed him on something else recently, and thought I had on this quote - until I just re-checked.

)

Am I the only one playing?

Midge · 08-05-2007, 11:51 PM

Gandalf it was...

As to you not playing, well, BB bowed out of this one for some reason... and I think Landroval heroically took my place for a day or two while I was at camp... don't know where the others are. Maybe they are taking an extra long nap... =P
