I'm going to have to close this thread due to its length. Firefoot, please could you start a new thread and post the rules of the game together with your current question?

Thanks.

Firefoot · 02-18-2004, 02:35 PM

You can join in requesting letters or make a guess any time. The person who correctly guesses the quote first gets to set the next one.

My current question is:
