Tuor of Gondolin has just left Hobbiton.
Palantir-Green Middle-earth alternate letters missing quote game

The concept for this game is borrowed from another forum. It may prove
worth playing, if not too easy or if administrators don't think it too close to
other games. Their call.

So, a quote is posted with every second letter removed, with a dash replacing
every other letter. The person who identifies the last element, whether it's
finishing the quote or identifying the speaker, goes next. For example:

W_a_/h_s/_t/_o_/i_/i_s/_o_k_t_e_/

answer: What has it got in its pocketses? Speaker: Gollum.

Anything from The Hobbit, LOTR, the Silmarillion, or Unfinished Tales can be used.
But also, how about including The Book of Lost Tales and HoME? However, if
The Book of Lost Tales and HoME are used, I'd suggest not requiring the speaker
of the quote to be identified, since it's quite possible many people don't have
those books and/or have read them. (For one, I've got most of them but have
read almost nothing in them yet).

You do not not have to completely solve the quote to make guesses. The
original poster will repost the quote with as much as was correctly guessed
shown.

Ex.:
For W_a_/h_s/_t/_o_/i_/i_s/_o_k_t_e_/?

Someone might post
What/has/it/not/if/its/rock_t_e_/?

And the original poster would put up:
What/has/it/_o_/i_/i_s/_ock_t_e_/?

So, how about:

F_r/_h_m_,/m_/f_t_e_/b_h_l_,/h_r_/i_/B_r_n/_h_/b_a_e/
_h_m/_h_/j_s_i_g/_r_v_/i_t_/d_r_/p_a_e_/a_d/_o_l/
_a_t_v_t_/a_d/_h_/V_l_r/_l_n_/s_v_d/_r_m/_/b_t_e_/
d_a_h./_e_h_n_s/'_w_u_d/_a_h_r/_e_i_/a/_i_g/_f/_h_/
E_d_r/_o/_e_a_d/_i_/t_a_/r_v_l_/h_m.
