Random Lines from DT (only DT) - new game

[Letti]

So, you can pick any sentence/sentences from the Dark Tower series. One sentence is the minimum. The game will be much more enjoyable if we try to give sentences with some real meaning. If someone chooses the line: "he said" - it won't give us much fun. :)
So one gives a random line or random lines from the series and the others must find out from which book it is/they are from.
BUT
you can guess only 3 times (all together) - I mean for one quote only 3 guesses can be given: from one person or from 3. If the third guess is wrong the one who gave the line can give a new one. (It would be way too easy if we could guess as many times as we want.)

So
you give a line (or more)
and the others have only 3 shots to find out where it is from.

First one:

"Roland, who held this secret in his own counsel until it seemed more complex than it really was, was surprised at how quickly and simply it was told. And Eddie, he saw, wasn't completely surprised."

W & G?

[Letti]

nope
go on ;)

[alinda]

WoC?

[Letti]

yesss
your turn :rose:

[alinda]

What he remembered was only a series of images, moments, conversation without context;images flashing past like one-eyed jacks and treys and nines and Bloody Black Bitch Queen of Spiders in a card-sharp's rapid shuffle.

[Letti]

It must be DT1.

[alinda]

Try again my friend ;)

[The Lady of Shadows]

may i interject a question? well, i'm going to so here it is :P

when you say "three guesses all together" in the first post do you mean that the person guessing gets to give their guesses all in a row or only three total guesses per person?

thanks!

:rose:

p.s. i like this game!

[alinda]

What no more quesses here? T/S I belive 3 quesses total for each line I think...
Come on , you can do it in ONE!:)

[The Lady of Shadows]

Feather is yours I knew you could do it !!

[Letti]

Your turn, turtle. :rose: (I was so damn sure it was from the Gunslinger. :rolleyes:)

So... for one quote only 3 guesses can be given (they can be from one person or from three). Not in a row... you guess one and another one and one more.
I hope it's clearer now. *unsure*

[The Lady of Shadows]

clear as a bell my hungarian princess. in fact, i think we should have a poll to see if that should be your new member title. although i like inkslinger. what? i'm off topic? oh, sorry.


There are ghosts. Sometimes there are ghosts, and sometimes they come back.

[ladysai]

Is that line from Wizard and Glass, turtlesong?



(Hungarian Princess would be a perfectly-suited member title for Letti, btw...)

[alinda]

good guess that...lots of past ghost stories in that one .



:fairy:btw, I agree Hungarian Princess in nice , but another could be Queen of our hearts!

[The Lady of Shadows]

Is that line from Wizard and Glass, turtlesong?



(Hungarian Princess would be a perfectly-suited member title for Letti, btw...)

yes on both counts, ladysai.

[ladysai]

Ok,
let's try this one:

The quickest way to learn about a new place is to know what it dreams of.

[alinda]

hmmm, that's a toughy...SoS?

[ladysai]

Say sorry, alinda.
Try again.
:rose:

[alinda]

How about WotC ?

[ladysai]

Sorry, not that one, either.
Two down, one to go.
;)

[alinda]

I'd better leave this one for someone who has a clue :lol:

[ladysai]

:lol:
Well, it cant be said that you didnt try!
:huglove:

[alinda]

Yet it can be said...I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader! :lol:

[Daghain]

OOH, nice game Letti!

Is it The Wastelands?

[alinda]

Thats it!!:thumbsup:

[Letti]

Thank God I wasn't here to shoot the last guess because I would have been wrong.
Well done, Daghain. We are waiting for the new one eagerly. (Happy to see you like this game.)

/My dearest ladies, I think I stay Inkslinger in my title because it fits my avatar. ;) But thank you for your infinite kindness. You have made my day./

[ladysai]

OOH, nice game Letti!

Is it The Wastelands?

You got it!
:)

[Daghain]

WOOT!

Okay, I'll throw you all an easy one since I don't have my books at work:

"Do grown men always have to play games? Does everything have to be an excuse for another kind of game? Do any men grow up or do they only come of age?"

[Letti]

It's an easy one?
I haven't got the faintest idea...

DotT?

[tamez]

WOOT!

Okay, I'll throw you all an easy one since I don't have my books at work:

"Do grown men always have to play games? Does everything have to be an excuse for another kind of game? Do any men grow up or do they only come of age?"

That one is from The Gunslinger :idea:

awesome game Letti!!!!

[Daghain]

You got it Tamez! Feather is yours!

[Letti]

Your turn, beautiful. :rose:
(What a shame I should have known this one.)

[tamez]

the only reason i knew that one
is because i have Stephen King's voice
burned in my head him saying it
on the audio tapes :P

ok
my turn. hrm

"When Blain the Mono blammed over head, running up the night
like a bullet running up the barrel of a gun, windows broke, dust sifted down,
and several of the skulls disintegrated like ancient pottery vases."

[Talitha Unwin]

That`s from the waste lands I`d say. With Blaine being mentioned like that, it leaves just two options, right? ;)
I know it`s not nessecary in this game, but is it someone from River Crossing saying that? Not quite sure about that... :orely:

@Daghain: is that a Sylvia Pittston quote? *again:orely:*

:D

[Letti]

WaG?

[alinda]

I too say that this one is from The Wastelands.

[Daghain]

@Daghain: is that a Sylvia Pittston quote? *again:orely:*

:D

It was Jake to Roland after he told the story of his coming of age. :)

[tamez]

WaG?

Letti is right ! woooo!

of course i picked something about Blain
to make you all THINK it was Wastelands
heeheehee

Letti's turn! :grouphug:

[Letti]

:dance:

"Had he not, he surely would have missed the circular flash from two o'clock as they landed on hard-packedm oil-darkened earth. Eddie would have died for sure. Maybe both of them would have died. In Roland's experience, only two things glared with that perfect brilliant circularity, eyeglasses and the long sight of a weapon."

[Talitha Unwin]

OK now, this one has to be right: Song of Susannah!
Jack Andolini and the Balazar guys`re waiting for Roland and Eddie in that town which name right now won`t come to my mind, but anyway, it`s in that general store / gas station where they meet John Cullum.

Do I win the fair day goose? *looking hopefully*

[alinda]

Is it from the battle at the Algul compound? DT VII?

[Letti]

Talitha has won the fair day goose. :rose:

[alinda]

:rock:well done, I was off by miles!

[Talitha Unwin]

:rock: :dance:

OK, next one:

"Susannah remembered being with her father when she was little, crawling up into his lap and laying the smooth skin of her cheek against the rough weave of his sweater. She remembered how she would close her eyes and breathe deeply of the smell that was his smell and his alone: pipe tobacco and wintergreen and the Musterole he rubbed into his wrists, where the arthritis first began to bite him at the outrageous age of twenty-five. What these smells meant to her was that everything was all right."

[alinda]

:nope: I suck at this, I really thought I knew these books.

[Daghain]

Wizard and Glass

[Letti]

Waste Lands?

[Letti]

:nope: I suck at this, I really thought I knew these books.

I gave it up for long. ;)

[Talitha Unwin]

Nope @ Daghain and Letti.
Try again, fellow gunslingers! :)

[Letti]

Oh damn... we have only one shot before the shame. :panic:

[The Lady of Shadows]

wolves of the calla

[Talitha Unwin]

@turtlesong: you say true, I say thankya. :rose:
Your turn. :rock:

[Letti]

turtle is a living dictionary

[The Lady of Shadows]

:nope: though i thankee for the compliment my hungarian princess. just someone who's spent almost all her life with the gunslinger and his tet. and i really do mean that literally.

Yar. Because what's seen can't be unseen. What's known can't be unknown. Save perhaps in death.

[tamez]

uuuuuuuuuu
idk
but i like this game
so I'll Guess DT7?

[The Lady of Shadows]

welcome tamez. thank our hungarian princess for the game. but say sorry, say no.

strike one.

[ladysai]

Is it from DT1?

[Letti]

I don't dare to shoot our last one...

[alinda]

I think it is from Wolves of the Calla. :unsure:

[The Lady of Shadows]

two swings and two misses.

it's from song of susannah. stephen king says it while under hypnosis.

now what happens?

[Daghain]

It's actually supposed to be 3 guesses. :lol:

But, since no one got it, get to ask another one.

[The Lady of Shadows]

uuuuuuuuuu
idk
but i like this game
so I'll Guess DT7?


Is it from DT1?


I think it is from Wolves of the Calla. :unsure:

did i screw it up? i was really trying hard to get the rules right. i'm sorry if i screwed it up. does someone else want to go? :unsure: :(

[Daghain]

Nope, you got it. I missed one, is all.

You get to ask again, since no one got it.

[The Lady of Shadows]

::whew:: :thumbsup:

the whole three answers thing took me awhile to figure out. . . . :rolleyes: ::slow turtle::

anyway -

We'll talk. We'll palaver, if you like that better. But you were right before, Roland -- this isn't the place or time.

[tamez]

that's from Wizard and Glass :orely:

[The Lady of Shadows]

dayum. that was super-fast!

you say true, i say a purple feather to you:

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk95/turtlesong/purplefeather.jpg

[Brice]

It's your turn, Tamezie! :D

[tamez]

thank you scary monster thing!

ok:
here we go
Roland listened as if worlds depended on it, as he was
quite sure they did.

[The Lady of Shadows]

song of susannah

[Letti]

The Dark Tower?
good one anyway

[tamez]

song of susannah

you are right! :clap:

[The Lady of Shadows]

Some thin instinct brought the gunslinger up from sleep to the velvet darkness which had fallen on them at dusk.

[tamez]

o That's the Gunslinger :idea:

[Letti]

yeah, I would say the same

[The Lady of Shadows]

tamez you say true, i say thankya.

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk95/turtlesong/purplefeather.jpg

[Ka-tet]

Bump:excited:

[Letti]

Bump:excited:

Why don't you give us a line? :couple:

[Ka-tet]

Bump:excited:

Why don't you give us a line? :couple:

Thankee Sai, Letti.

This is a line that i paticularly like :), i dont think its too difficult to guess to be honest:


Susannah was aware of being hauled up and whirled around. The world was a carousel blur: standing stones, gray sky, hailstone-litterd ground....
