["the most inquisitive letter"]

"the most inquisitive letter".

Spoiler

But why is it so inquisitive?  Why??

Still don't get it though....  STEELY maybe?

The rock from which metal comes could indeed be called an "ore" or a "lode".  Or maybe the clue refers to the rock that was a previous generation of metal (for tools, e.g.): flint?

East with a capital "E" suggests either the letter E or "The" East, ie "China" or "Orient".  The "and again" bit strongly suggests repetition, however.

The "letter of inquisition has me stumped.  It could be "W", which in English starts most question words.  It could be "I" for inquisition, or representing the stake they'd burn you at.   For that matter the letter "T" is symbolic of a certain Christian emblem, in whose name many an inquisition has been undertaken.  For that matter my keyboard has an "É" as an alternative letter for the "?" key, so.....  Yeah, still a bit stumped.

But for the sake of fun and variety, let's  see if I can't cobble all these lines of thought into a random stab-in-the-dark answer.  How about: FLEERM?

I want 52 hours.  And a helicopter.  And some pizza while I'm waiting.  And don't try anything funny!

Man, I totally spaced on this due to MAGS.  Writing now, but I might need that extension.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, folks!  It's too bad we're the only show in town....  Ponch was all about just stepping over the low bar to victory, but in the end I was able to henpeck him into creative submission.

Yes...the clue refers to the Gate Of Moria, but the answer is not Moria. It is computer related. Super hint:

Spoiler

On the gate it says: "Speak friend and _____"

Well, since "Enter" has already been guessed, I'm going to guess "Minno", which is elvish for "Enter"    And btw, I'm on my computer Moria think.

I'm sensing some sort of keyboard maze here, but I'm having a hard time finding a starting point.

MORIA!  You can do Moria after speaking friend, just like you can do Vegas after getting drunk!

Awesome that this has been revived rebooted!

Sorry for the delay, folks: Fridge Follies.



It's not quite where we wanted it to be at when we released it, but that's MAGS for you.  The lack of voice acting somewhat diminishes the speech system, but it's kind of too late to start that now.  Maybe tomorrow... (*yawn*).  Also there's no save/load.

Anyway.... enjoy!

I'm going to have to formally ask for an extension to finish our game.  Something's come up, all over me.   We are sooooo close to being done, but I can't let my team down by releasing the game in its current state.  I ask to be given until midnight Saturday (Dec 6) to submit the project.  Thank you for your sincere consideration,

I'm pretty sure the good old semi-colon would come first alphabetically.   At least, names that begin with symbols come first in the AGS directory.  But don't worry about the snub; I mean, the semi-colon is already named after half-an-ass, so, you know, it's used to it.

Damn nothing to to with my previous post

The answer is

Correct!

...and I do make them easy, once in a while. 

This is an awesome topic!  I'm already sketching out ideas.

Giving infantry support at the front (12)

Spoiler

The front of "infantry" is "infant", and who gives support to an infant but a "parent"?  Now, to get that support to the front you need transport, from the Latin root trans, but that reference is obscure like "Cy" Young, the pitcher after whom the best pitcher in Major League Baseball is named after.  Thus: trans + parent + Cy = Transparency!

Also, "transparency" is the only 12 letter AGS word I can think of.
