Puzzle #586

New players! Read the rules before you join, please, and be prepared to host the next if you win!

These are the rules:

* 1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

* 2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again. (see also rule #9)

* 3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

* 4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

* 5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

* 6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk Private message. (This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts). DO NOT post it on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

* 7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.

* 8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.

* 9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

And here is what you win ... you get to create the next puzzle.

(Should you win the game and are unable to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

Here's the puzzle:

It appears as though I missed a couple "E's" before and also an "A". I have adjusted the scores accordingly. I apologize for my incompetence. Please don't fire me! :D

"I" please. Also - check that you have all the R's in. I believe you left out a couple. (Being on the puzzlemaster end is quite the challenge :):)) Thanks.

You have to wait until someone else guesses before you an guess.

I think my problem is from trying to work on this here and at work too. I seem to be losing something in the translation LOL.

It's okay. I have done it before too. Okay now I can do it since Karen requested a letter. :D

Congrats to Karen who has successfully guessed this puzzle:

These Republican leaders have not been content
with attacks on me, on my wife, or on my sons.
No, not content with that, they now include my
little dog, Fala. Well, of course, I don't resent
attacks... but Fala does resent them.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Since Karen just did the puzzle before me she would like to concede to someone else.

Bibbette & Lulu's mom or Pinot's mom would one of you like to do the next puzzle? :)
