The Modesitt Quote Game

Post by **KiltanneN** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 6:55 am

OK - Ghost & Ean143...

We have had a couple of "wins" now - but we need to update the score over in the Sherlock Thread

The format there is to make a post with all the previous scores quoted and the new scores being incremented. MQG stands for Modesitt Quote Game, K20Q stands for Kilt's 20 Questions, [somebody else - Aunflin - will need to fill in the WOTD acronym against jwebs name] - SO, these 2 points that you guys are recording should both be MQGs.

The intent is for the Sherlock game to be casual, and somewhat self policing. Anyone who awards a Sherlock is entitled to update the leaderboard. By convention, we are keeping the scoring for the Modesitt Quote game in the Sherlock thread. Also by convention it is considered "bad form" to update your own score, although pimping and/or begging for the score to be updated by the giver of the points is more than OK - it helps to keep us all "honest"

[& of anyone - I need to be watched, I have such a low score that someone already bumped me 2 points by accident and had to be reigned in...]

I didn't realize there was another thread to keep score- sorry

I have updated the list for both crispind (since I didn't update it a long time ago when he got my previous quote right) and ghost -
there seems to be alot of winners missing from that list though.

I have thought this to be the case on occasions...

Thanks for taking care of this...

NP - it's an easy point to miss - not 100% sure of the best way to solve it - but every so often I'll just make a post like this...

Yes, that is right.

I always liked that qoute. I think I even heard that once or twice in my life.

I know I have thought it several times.

Your up!

"Four...that be a help, and I could put it away for the cold times."
"Aye...the cold times always come. Remember that, lad. There always be the cold times."

Name both speakers, the listener, and the title. Good luck!

*prods*

Post by **Kvetch** » Mon Apr 26, 2004 12:45 pm

no idea, but it might be a Kien to Lorn?

Gil galad · Post by **Gil galad** » Mon Apr 26, 2004 2:16 pm

sorry no, but your right that it is a minor character talking.

Post by **Ghost** » Sat May 01, 2004 7:11 pm

Is it Egen from Wellspring of Chaos?

Gil galad · Post by **Gil galad** » Sat May 01, 2004 10:16 pm

still no, how many more guesses before i have to turn it in as unanswered ?

Post by **Ghost** » Sat May 01, 2004 11:43 pm

One more guess.

Lennet is talking to the dangergelders in The Magic of Recluce (paperback p.96).

Post by **Kvetch** » Sun May 02, 2004 9:51 am

Myral (or however it is spelt) to Cerryl

Gil galad · Post by **Gil galad** » Sun May 02, 2004 2:13 pm

yeah ghost got that one, magister lennett talking to dangergelds.

your up ghost

Post by **Ghost** » Sun May 02, 2004 3:09 pm

The new quote is

“-all women can read men better than most men can read women.”

Give speaker, listener and book.

ohh thats an easy one, Klerris to Creslin, towers of the sunset

Post by **Ghost** » Mon May 03, 2004 7:43 am

That's right Gil galad, but you were the previous winner, you are suppose to wait 5 days to give other people a chance to win.

Aunflin wrote:Five days sounds good to me (if not to torybear ), crispind. That'll give other people enough time to answer the quote. After that, it's fair game--no matter if you figured out the previous quote.

I guess you're up.

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Mon May 03, 2004 7:48 am

I'll do it if allowed. I'm not good enough to actually guess one right but I've got some quotes to dish out!!

Post by **Kvetch** » Mon May 03, 2004 8:58 am

go on - post one then

Post by **Ghost** » Mon May 03, 2004 9:06 am

Go ahead MK gives us a good one.

but neither Gil galad nor I can answer for five days.

Iâ€™ll give Gil galad his Sherlock, but this will be his punishment for not following the rules.
