Know your WoT Quotes? ;)

[Nynaeve]

Hello lovelies!

 

Welcome to the White Tower's own Quote Game!!! ran by no other than yours truly.

 

How many times have you re-read WoT? When was the last time you even picked up a WoT book? Or looked at one? Or just dusted the covers cause you're one of those feared cleanliness freaks? :D A lot of valid questions. All will be answered in the midst of quote epicness.

 

I will be posting a quote daily. More than one, if correct answers are given quickly. If a quote doesn't get guessed in a long while, I'll reveal the answer myself and move on. The task at hand is to say who said the quote and what book it was said in. Even if you only know one of these, you should go right ahead and post. For every correct answer you get a point. Once this activity is over (It's a week long), I will tally all the points and the top winners will receive beautiful signatures with WoT quotes on them (made by me! So yeah, you know they're going to be glamorous ;)).

 

I will keep this first post updated with the current quote so it would be easier to navigate the thread.

 

 

A couple of simple rules:

1. No spamming.

2. Once you posted a guess about who said the quote and/or what book it's from, you're not allowed to guess again until I replied to it with Correct or Wrong.

3. If you mock anyone's guess, you're gonna get smited.

4. No using google. Especially since most of these come from a privately made file and don't exist online (yes, I checked :P).

 

Note: I'll tweak the level of difficulty according to the rate of correct guesses.

 

 

Now lets get this thing started!!!

Lan Mandragoran, EOTW, I think inside the blight by Malkier???

[Nynaeve]

Nope, on both accounts. Keep trying!

 

 

Hint: It was said by a female character.

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[Millon]

Does a single "arrrrgh, such a dumb ass I am for thinking he remembers now" count as spam? Just one?

[Nynaeve]

Frustration posts are allowed lol

 

 

 

Nyn

[Basel Gill]

Siuan in New Spring.

[Nynaeve]

[Bela_theDo]

Elayne...and to Nynaeve? *facepalms*

[Nynaeve]

No, but VERY close!!!

 

Edit: I should prolly add that this isn't something said aloud, but rather said by a character in thought to herself/himself.

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[Basel Gill]

I have no clue here. It sounds like it's from a book I haven't gotten to yet, since I haven't seen much in the way of "good" Seanchan.

[Nynaeve]

Hint: The quote was taken from one of the first 6 books.

 

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[Ledinna Sedai]

Erm... Egwene in Fires of Heaven?

[Millon]

I am pretty Certain it was Nynaeve who 'thought' it but I can't remember what context. Maybe in regards with Cerandin in a Crown of Thorns.

[Nynaeve]

Ledinna got the book right! Fires of Heaven indeed! ^_^ 1 point.

 

Millon got the right character. It was Nynaeve thinking that. And the thought did come up because of Cerandin. You just got the wrong book. 1 point. :D

 

Way to go!!!

Aviendha to Rand (speech) and Rand (thought) after a Gray Man was killed in his rooms.

 

I'll have to go look up which book - can't remember offhand now ... brb :P

[Elgee]

Lord of Chaos, chapter 28.

Nope and nope.

Nyn

[Xcorpyo001]

The quote with the dogs is about Cadsuane, or she is in that chapter, but I can't remember the context. And I have no idea about the book :(

[Nynaeve]

Cadsuane is the correct answer! You are now in the lead with a total of 3 points! That's pretty amazing. :)

 

 

But the book the quote was taken from remains unknown. So keep the guessing coming!

 

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[Ala Rubra]

Path of Daggers, chapter 12.

[Nynaeve]

That is CORRECT! And we got a new playa as Ala Rubra enters the field! 1 point!
