R for the really persistent among us?

Persistence is its own reward! And I owe an apology to samhy for finally figuring out the hidden H.

The Federalist Papers?
I was confused by the first word

victauria · 07-11-2013, 09:39 AM

Of course you were because I was a bad game host! And, yes, The Federalist Papers is the answer...thanks for your persistence! And congrats on the win

The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles and essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay promoting the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October of 1787 and August 1788. A compilation of these and eight others, called The Federalist; or, The New Constitution, was published in two volumes in 1788 by J. and A. McLean.[1] The series' correct title is The Federalist; the title The Federalist Papers did not emerge until the twentieth century.

Though the authors of The Federalist Papers foremost wished to influence the vote in favor of ratifying the Constitution, in Federalist No 1 they explicitly set that debate in broader political terms:

It has been frequently remarked, that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not, of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend, for their political constitutions, on accident and force.[2]

According to historian Richard B. Morris, they are an "incomparable exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed in both breadth and depth by the product of any later American writer.

Modern version would be The Feralist Papers, for the sneaky politicians who rule the world. Good job, Samhy.

samhy · 07-12-2013, 02:35 AM

Thank you Victauria and Fat Abe

Victauria, actually the missing letter was a good practice, since I tried to search in my head what I could make with the remaining letters.

For now, let's try to find the title of a French play. To keep it simple, this will be its English translation. Good luck everyone!

A please.

victauria · 07-12-2013, 09:20 AM

I would like an I!

Fat Abe · 07-12-2013, 12:52 PM

O, another vowel.

3 As, 2 Os, but no I.
Mmm, maybe some consonants?

red_phoenix · 07-12-2013, 04:17 PM

Naaa....

victauria · 07-12-2013, 09:07 PM

T for me, please!

Fat Abe · 07-12-2013, 10:43 PM

L, for L'Amour

The three of you were right: 1 T, 1 L and 2 Ns.
You're getting closer, what will be your next guess?

victauria · 07-13-2013, 06:50 PM

An H, an H…my kingdom for an H!

(Hyperbole also starts with an H. Just sayin')
