Puzzle 240

[koxka]

To newcomers: Read the rules before you join in, please!

Here 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 consonant, 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 email ([email protected] or a PM).
(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 not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass your puzzle me to the next highest scorer)


Here's the puzzle:

---- --------- -- --- --------- -- --- ----- ------ ------- --- -----. -- --- ----- = --- -----------, --- -------- ----, --- ---------, --- --- --- (-- ---- ---- ----- -- ---- -------) = --- ------- --- -----. -- --- --- ---, ---- --- ----- ---- --- ---, ---- ---- --- ---, ------ ---- --- ------, --- ---- ---- --- ----; -- ---------- --- ----- -- ------ ----- ----- -- ----- ---------. ----- ---- ------ ---- --- -----, ------ --- ------, ----- --- ----- ----- ---- --- ----, --- ------ --- -----.
---- -- -------, ------------ -----, ----- ----- ---- ------- ---- -------- -- --- ----. -- ----- ---- ------- --- ---, ------ ---- --- ---, -- ---- -------- ------ -- ------- --. --- --------- ------ ---- ----- --------- -- ---------- -----, --- ---- -- -----, -- -----, -- ---, --- -- -----. --- --- ----- ---- ------ -- -- ------- -----

------- -- ------ --- -- --------- -----
------ -------

ATTENTION: this sing = , means a hyphen

Letters to Guess:

You won! You got the hightest score.Will you host the next puzzle? :)

I hope that everybody enjoyed the quote :)

Most important of all creatures to the coast Indian peoples was Raven. It was Raven – the Transformer, the cultural hero, the trickster, the Big Man (he took many forms to many peoples) – who created the world. He put the sun, moon and stars into the sky, fish into the sea, salmon into the rivers, and food onto the land; he manoeuvred the tides to assure daily acces to beach resources. Raven gave people fire and water, placed the rivers, lakes and cedar trees over thr land, and people the earth.
Full of magical, supernatural power, Raven could turn himself into anything at any time. He could dive beneath the sea, ascend into the sky, or make anything happen by willing it. His legendary antics were often motivated by insatiable greed, and love to tease, to cheat, to woo, and to trick. But all often were turned on to hapless Raven

[luckies4me]

I'm from the Northwest! yay! LOL A friend of mine Debbie, a fellow rat breeder, also has NW indian art. You can visit her site at :http://www.skyclyde.com/NorthwestArt.html

[delidog]

VERY NIce,Luckiesforme!!!!!

Koxka,Take a few minutes to visit this website....You will like,I think....

[luckies4me]

Thanks, I will let her know! I like the ratty and the baby ratty pic the best, hehe. :p

[delidog]

Go Figure!!!
How did we know that?!?!?!?!;) :) :D

[koxka]

Sure I will take a look this weekeend, right now Have to go work:rolleyes:
I have been in Brithish Columbia some years ago, it was there where I learn about that art and just fall in love !
Pity that it was soooo expensive for my to buy (especialy travelling I like my credit card as full as possible you neve know wha will happend) and the replicas for turist just didn't fit me. Well instead I brougt home a few books about.
I don't remember in what Museum it was, there was an Indian Artist performing for the visistors....and he asked me if I would have a try among the audience..... I felt so honoured! :o

[koxka]

Luckies for me it's Ok if everybody agree.:)

[Fuzzy317]

I have been busy for the last few days, checking email is about all the time I have had. I helped with a transport of a great dane Thursday. He was a very nice harliquin, looked almost like a dalmation. :)

I could start a new puzzle Sunday evening. I will have to look for some new quotes.

[koxka]

OK :)
