[align=center]![]() ![]() Samwise: It's me. It's your Sam. Don't you know your Sam? Frodo: [drops sword] I can't do this, Sam. Samwise: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo; the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end... because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. Frodo Baggins: What are we holding on to, Sam? Samwise: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for. Above is one of the most famous speeches and lines from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.. but there are many more and tonight we'll learn about more of them.. This Power Challenge is called "Sam's Speech" and here is how it's going to work.. I need you all to create a thread in your confessionals called "PC #2." Post in there once to create your thread and then only once more when it's time to submit your official answers for this challenge. When this challenge begins, I will post exactly 7 quotes from "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers." It will be your goal to indentify which characters said which quotes. Now, before you go batshit or cry about how this is unfair to LOTR fans, I assure you these quotes are easy to find. You don't have to be a fan or have watched the film to win this challenge. Google is your friend.. In your confessional thread for this challenge, you will post the answers numbered like so.. 1. Gaga 2. Shelob 3. King of the Dead And so forth from 1 to 7. Don't post the entire quotes I give and answer with them. I have to check 14 answers and I need uniform and easy to read answers for quickness, so oblige or die. The first player to indentify all 7 quotes correctly and the fastest will win this Power Challenge tonight and will get to pick a piece of one of the Two Towers which will determine the format for the round. ~ Big Brother Rules ~ In the event that the main Power Challenge winner picks a part of The Two Towers that reveals a Big Brother round, he/she will then become the HoH for the round and will be asked to nominate two or four players in the game for possible eviction for the round. Once the nominees are established and official, we'll play Power of Veto. ~ The One Ring Rules ~ In the event that the main Power Challenge winner picks a part of The Two Towers that reveals The One Ring round, the main Power Challenge winner will then become the Ringbearer for the round and will win the right to vote with the Ringwraiths on the voting council and will also be immune from the vote. To determine the other Ringwraiths, the 6 other players who placed the fastest in time to finish the challenge behind the Power Challenge winner will become the Ringwraiths for the round and will be the players who vote together in the voting Council for the round. All those who become Ringwraiths will be announced in my post confirming the format after it's been selected from The War of the Rings area. Questions, or no? [/align] |
