Haven't read it, don't know it, but am somewhat pleased with myself that I have stumped a few people.

cryogenisis?

How 'bout a few hints first?

Post by **Kvetch** » Sun Oct 10, 2004 3:47 pm

OK - should we PM RecluceMage or do you think he/she will notice ?

Hunter B · Post by **Hunter B** » Sun Oct 10, 2004 3:54 pm

I'll PM him/her.

Post by **Kvetch** » Sun Oct 10, 2004 4:00 pm

good for you. also try and find all the cold quotes, rules pertaining to them, other rules and so on and re-post them. THAT'll keep you out of the "I'm Bored" thread

Hunter B · Post by **Hunter B** » Sun Oct 10, 2004 4:05 pm

Maybe when I have time.

Sorry guys, I was at a war this weekend, so I'm trying to catch up on everything. Figured it could wait since I had only posted the quote on Thursday.

However, due to the overwhelming cry for assistance I will add to the quote. But... I'm now going to need more info for you to get the sherlock (seems fair to me, everything has its cost).

Justice should not be imposed by a mob, nor restricted to those with the credits to purchase the best advocates or the best expertise and witnesses. In a sense, the outrages encouraged and perhaps even instigated by ::title of X::, X, are an example of what can happen when justice is denied.

Now you need the title of the book, the speaker, the title of X, and the name of character X. It's not as hard as it sounds, so start pulling out the under-the-bed storage bins and search for that quote!

reference to 'credits' therefore scifi

maybe 'director of xyz', Darryn Aldwyn - from Octagonal Raven

(It seems to fit, but then it may be an ecologic that I havn't read. ore a ghosts, which I havn't read, or from flash, or the green progression or something else I havn't read)

Good job kvetch, you're up, and I'll go post your sherlock.

Post by **Kvetch** » Mon Oct 11, 2004 8:39 am

pure fluke - it was the only character I could think of with a proper title.

since I didn't expect to get it right, I went and pulled a book of the shelf and have taken the first vaguely decent quote I could find. Sorry if it is to easy / obscure

'I had a skill with blades, and perhaps because it upset my mother, and because I was unruly and contrary, I pursued it. They did not encourage it, and it was sometime before I was allowed to follow that road.'

give character and book and who the character is taking to (the book alone will not win the sherlock, but one of the others will)

Creslin in Towers of the Sunset

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Mon Oct 11, 2004 8:58 am

Easy, but who's he talking to? The merchant he met early in the book?

Post by **Kvetch** » Mon Oct 11, 2004 9:13 am

actually, no (unless LEM has borrowed from himself, and written the passage twice)

RecluceMage · Post by **RecluceMage** » Thu Oct 14, 2004 6:46 am

Ok, it's getting chilly in here....

Post by **Ghost** » Thu Oct 14, 2004 8:02 am

How about Alucius in Legacies (just a guess).

Post by **Kvetch** » Thu Oct 14, 2004 8:04 am

Clue: the speaker has skill with more than blades
Clue: the books is not of the recluce saga

Post by **Kvetch** » Thu Oct 14, 2004 8:24 am

(having just thaken in ghost's post)

not Alucius.

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Thu Oct 14, 2004 12:04 pm

Wow. It sounds nearly verbatim to something Creslin said.

Post by **Kvetch** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 2:04 am

go and find it: If it IS verbatim what Creslin said, you get a bonus sherlock (and the quote remains open)

You're up.

I'll post the sherlock later (remind me if I forget)

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 5:36 pm

I didn't mean I didn't believe you Kvetch, I just meant that it really fit with Creslin's story.

Post by **Kvetch** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 11:28 am

I meant I believed that the same passage could turn up twice: I just didn't get it from there. I chose that passage in the hope of red-herringing you. I hadn't thought of Creslin actually: I thought a Cyadorian lancer might have said something similar. I must have been hallucinatng.

Learion · Post by **Learion** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 2:00 am

I want both the book and the one spoken to.
