Synonymical quotes - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

LePetitChoux · 12-25-2002, 08:34 AM

This is kind of splicing the Backwards Quotes with the Antonym/Synonym fill in the blanks.

Here, you must find a quote, such as
"One thief deserves another"
and replace all the words with synonyms. So, the above quote becomes
"A single robber is worthy of a different one"
And everyone has to find the quote and the speaker!
Easy! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

LePetitChoux · 12-26-2002, 05:42 AM

OK, I'll do one:

"A single sick rotation is worthy of a diferent one"

Now, after the example quote, this should be plain obvious! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

LePetitChoux · 12-28-2002, 01:04 PM

Nobody? Or is this a bad idea? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Eärendil · 12-28-2002, 01:12 PM

I know which one it is, but not who said it.

"One ill turn deserves another."

LePetitChoux · 12-29-2002, 10:02 AM

Same person as before-Saruman. You do one now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eärendil · 12-29-2002, 04:56 PM

Okay, I found this very difficult, and didn´t come up with a good one, but here it goes:

Quote:

Inside a tiny moment I will take the path.

It´s in ROTK.

LePetitChoux · 01-01-2003, 06:40 AM

Quote:

In one small second I shall receive the way.

No idea. That was just a guess. Are any of the words I got right? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eärendil · 01-01-2003, 08:37 AM

You got a few words right (in and shall...I think), but you´re still not there. Try again. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Orodoliel · 01-04-2003, 02:13 PM

This game's very hard. Is there another clue we could have that wouldn't totally give it away?

Eärendil · 01-07-2003, 04:30 AM

I know it´s hard. Though, it´s not because of the game itself, but because I am crap at finding synonymical words! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
I will give a clue that will make it much easier; it´s in one of the Rohan chapters in ROTK.

Orodoliel · 01-07-2003, 01:37 PM

Is it:

'In a little while I shall take the road.'--Theoden talking to Merry, telling him he shall be left behind. --The Muster of Rohan

??

Eärendil · 01-08-2003, 10:48 AM

Phew, someone could understand my translation... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Of course it is. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] The floor is yours. *bows*

Orodoliel · 01-08-2003, 12:11 PM

Here's the next Quote:

'You should go with stealth, and you should go in a short while,'

Have a guess!

LePetitChoux · 01-08-2003, 01:09 PM

"You must leave quietly and you must leave soon."~Gandalf, FotR

Orodoliel · 01-08-2003, 02:39 PM

You are correct!

Go ahead when ready...

LePetitChoux · 01-08-2003, 03:01 PM

Quote:

"They shall not spoil you - if I do not ask them to. At this place, Hold! Tooth! Ankle!" he weeped. "Ankle, Warg!"

Eärendil · 01-09-2003, 11:26 AM

That would be Farmer Maggot to Frodo:
"They won´t harm you - not unless I tell 'em to. Here, Grip! Fang! Heel!" he cried. "Heel, Wolf!"

ElentariGreenleaf · 01-09-2003, 04:08 PM

WOO! THIS IS SUCH A COOL THREAD! I'll try on the next one. I'm sure you're right you see!

LePetitChoux · 01-09-2003, 04:12 PM

Yep, go ahead!

Eärendil · 01-15-2003, 10:44 AM

Quote:

The advice appears positive to myself presently.

Thanks to my boyfriend who helped me with this one... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I´ll give a clue if it´s too hard.

LePetitChoux · 01-15-2003, 01:57 PM

"Your counsel seems good to me now"?
It sounds like either Gandalf to Saruman or vice versa, or Frodo to Boromir.
Or Bilbo to Gandalf.
Or...I'll shut up now.

Eärendil · 01-16-2003, 10:54 AM

The quote seems correct, or just about (don´t remember, will look it up), but the persons are wrong.

Eärendil · 01-28-2003, 11:09 AM

"The counsel seems good to me now" is the quote. Care to guess who said it?

Eärendil · 01-30-2003, 11:41 AM

Um... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Anyone?

Diamond18 · 01-31-2003, 12:28 AM

Aragorn to Gandalf?

Eärendil · 01-31-2003, 03:55 AM

No, not Aragorn. The Gandalf part is correct though.
Just for your notice, I won´t be on this weekend (no computer), so if you guess and know you are right, just continue. If you are not sure, wait till Monday.

Eärendil · 02-27-2003, 03:50 AM

Anyone out there that is interested in this thread? Would be a shame if it died out completely.
Anyone can post a quote now, as I don´t care about my quote anymore....It was Théoden to Gandalf btw.

Annunfuiniel · 02-27-2003, 05:41 AM

I shall try one!

"...provided that it rose a bit more up from the soil."

Hope a got it right, it's really hard to find those synonyms! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Rochelle · 02-27-2003, 02:17 PM

Isn't this Eomer to Gimli?

I think the correct quote is:

if it stood but a little higher from the ground.

??

Annunfuiniel · 02-27-2003, 05:18 PM

My congrats, Rochelle! Please, carry on. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Rochelle · 02-27-2003, 07:10 PM

Ooh good! Ok lemme see here...

Quote:

Steadfast employee, still chieftain's undoing

Solve this and complete the quote with the next line!

Arvedui III · 02-27-2003, 07:35 PM

Ohh I know this one!
"Faithful servent yet master's bane"
Talking about Snowmane

Rochelle · 02-27-2003, 08:09 PM

Yep!

Faithful servant, yet master's bane
Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane

Poor horsie killed Theoden King [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

*lol* You're go!

Arvedui III · 02-27-2003, 08:19 PM

Um, ok then. I'll try it.

Quote:

However, no idiot commaned the attack

Eärendil · 03-13-2003, 04:52 AM

...A clue perhaps? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 03-13-2003, 05:49 AM

May it refer to NN1?

Quote:

It was no brigand or orc-chieftain that ordered the assault upon the Lord of Mordor’s greatest foe

Arvedui III · 03-18-2003, 07:27 AM

Yep, your turn.

Sleepy Ranger · 02-13-2004, 01:00 PM

Looks fun

Quote:

Wait for me here,for only one may deliver the message and that is my destiny to fulfill

Easy I guess

Evisse the Blue · 02-14-2004, 05:38 AM

Indeed.

Quote:

Await me here; for one only may bring the message that it is my fate to bear.

Earendil to Elwing

Sleepy Ranger · 02-14-2004, 07:41 AM

Yep thats it.
Please continue, Evisse.
