✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5771 comments I did sign up, but I just couldn't get my head around it. I was meant to go back and see what others were doing, but then I totally forgot.


message 1904: by Audrey Jane (new)

Audrey Jane | 1853 comments Yes, quilty :p Next time I enter the tavern I will ask him out lol

I'm really loving the RPG quest. At first it was a bit confusing but since we each have our separate threads, it makes it much easier now. And I love snooping around :)

Audrey Jane | 1853 comments I kept the original rules modified by Tea for the 7 letters word. Danielle, I tried to give precedence to your 'A' but I can't fit it in the word ;)


message 1911: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5771 comments Ah well, you know by know how my mind mixes/adds letters. I just can't help it

I'm also having problems with A this time. I keep thinking OK, we are doing Aragorn
We could always spell Strider and Aragorn. And maybe add Elessar just to have more Ss? :P

Yes, I know. I was confused also. Since the 'I' in Strider sounds like A when pronouncing I followed Danielle's way of thinking. I liked how Strider sounds and it starts with a S but maybe I should have kept Aragorn, but then I wanted to avoid the O :p dilemma dilemma lol Yes we could do all the characters' aliases :)

message 1940: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9633 comments OK Hobbits, please welcome Beth. She came to visit us and test the waters.

Let's give her Hobbit welcome!

*runs to pantry*


message 1941: by Beth (new)

Beth  (jasonverlander) | 1567 comments Okay I'm jumping in! Tea has recruited me. I am a little confused so far so I'll just explain how I THINK it works and then if someone can tell me how wrong I am that would be great!

Someone picks a word and then whenever we finish a book during that week, we updated it with character, author, title.

I'm reading Rules of Prey right now so I would put
R- Title
J,S- author
L- character

and then if any of those letters fit with the word, then they would be put in?


message 1942: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9633 comments OK, Beth modified rules...

Forget the spinning. We'll keep doing then (until you want to try it out)

One of us rolls (are we rolling still?) a wheel and come up with a word to spell.
Everyone are just reading books and trying to find as many letters from a word in their books. You can use title, author, series and characters (they need to speak at least one sentence in a book to be used ☺)
Give us letters you found, and we'll do the rest.
Now since there are only few of us and with 'real' rules we never managed to finish spellings, we modified them some.
Books with 100-150 can be used for 1 letter, books 150-500 for 2 and books over 500 for 3. So be sure to mention if your book is 1- or 3- letter word, cause default is 2 :P

I think that should be it. Have fun and ask if you don't understand something. ☺

Yep. You can also use series.
And please just give letters that are needed for spelling (*looks at Danielle*). It's easier for the one keeping track that week.

Where's the fun in that. I like confusing you all (even though it not done on purpose)
