The alphabet is a harsh master...

Before this is locked, I'd like to say thanks again to Grey Wolf for devising all these clues and keeping us entertained for so long

It doesn't have to be locked, people should be still able to post their own cryptic descriptions for others to guess. I'm sure there must be some that Grey_wolf may have missed. And I don't think some words can't be repeated. The Quote game has been going on for quite a while and quotes have been repeated over time, the game doesn't suffer from it.

Grey_Wolf · 10-25-2006, 04:31 AM

You're welcome, Sun-star.

Ok, Eärniel.

That's allright. The game can go on, although not with my clueing from a book- or site-source.

Welcome in then, anyone who feels like continuing it.

Wot happened to the last clue, GW?

hectorberlioz · 10-25-2006, 09:14 PM

I think Grey Wolf should get a prize for "Most Creative Mooter"

, eh?

Sorry, about that. I missplaced the Facit for the final clue (1.5) and couldnt for the life of me remember what he was called. So I erased it. Hope u dont mind.

Gwaimir Windgem · 10-27-2006, 08:24 PM

I was kinda hopin' to find out the answer, but I guess now I'll never know...

I'll try to get hold of it when Im in town the next time.

And Thanks, HB!

Grey_Wolf · 10-30-2006, 09:00 AM

Dear Gwai!

You were correct indeed in your guess on 1.5 - Z - It was Ar-Zamthrathon.

I Apologize - didnt mean to make such a mistake.

So I hope you'll forgive this momentary lapse.

Best
Gw

Which means I WIN! HUZZAH!!!

Good guesses, Gwai!

U may continue. And, Jammi, give it a try nevertheless, please.
