You're scary, Aganzir!

How about an A, to begin with?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-08-2008, 07:13 AM

Gimme some A, please.

EDIT: x-ed, so gimme E instead

Aganzir · 02-08-2008, 07:17 AM

Thank you, Nerwen.

Yep.

I had a feeling it might be easy, but... 13 minutes.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-08-2008, 07:30 AM

Almost a real-time game, right?

Well, good letters picked. It was immediately apparent what the last words are and I was suspicious that "sea" is among the words at the beginning. And with the T most of it was obvious.

All right. Here's a new one:

"---, / -- / ----- / -- / --, / --'-- / -- / --- / ---- / ---- / -----! / --'- / ----- / --. / ---'- / --- / ----- / ----- / ----- / ---?"

Aganzir · 02-08-2008, 07:33 AM

Bah, surely just good luck.

Anyway, any C's?

Nerwen · 02-08-2008, 07:35 AM

Dammit, I always seem to get here too late!

N?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-08-2008, 08:04 AM

Well done, Nerwen. You made it at last

You may continue with a new one.

Nerwen · 02-08-2008, 08:11 AM

Finally!

Here's the next one:

---/ -----/ -----/ --/ ---/ -----/ -------/, ---/ ----/ ----/ --/ -----/ ---/."

Rune Son of Bjarne · 02-08-2008, 09:14 AM

Lets start of with some E's then

McCaber · 02-08-2008, 11:15 AM

How about an S or two?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 02-08-2008, 11:28 AM
