I'll hazard a guess to keep it going; 'Small Gods', maybe?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Penners is correct! The quote is about Vorbis. Take it away, Penfold!

 

[RathDarkblade]

Still your turn, Penners...

 

[Penfold]

Found out why I missed this, I very, very rarely venture into the 'Games' and so missed it completely not having known it had been moved here. (In fact, I think I last looked in here sometime last year.) Since I will probably neglect to look in here for another few months or so, I think it best to let you take my go Rath.

 

[RathDarkblade]

*thinks*
Thinkthinkthink...

OK, here's one!

* Of course, lots of dwarfs, trolls, native people, trappers, hunters, and the merely badly lost had discovered it on an almost daily basis for thousands of years. But they weren't explorers and didn't count.

 

[MrsWizzard]

Eric?

 

[RathDarkblade]

Nope, not Eric. Try again...

 

[MrsWizzard]

The Last Continent?

 

[RathDarkblade]

Sorry, not TLC.

Hint: think much earlier...

 

[MrsWizzard]

The Light Fantastic?

 

[RathDarkblade]

Nope, not that early.

Bigger Hint: not Rincewind.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Is anyone still playing this game?

 

[MrsWizzard]

Sorry Rath, the temptation to Google the answer was too much. You've got me thoroughly stumped on this one.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Whoops... maybe I should pick a less obscure one next time. *shrug* Oh well... never mind. I'll reveal it...

The book I was thinking of was Witches Abroad. The witches "discover" something (a waterfall, IIRC?) - and the footnote then says that everyone else discovered it on an almost daily basis, of course, but they're not explorers so they don't count.

Go ahead and pick a new footnote, MrsWizzard.

 

[MrsWizzard]

Ooof! The kicker is I'm currently rereading that one! :doh:

This one will either be really easy or hard:

*Werk.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Argh. This is a little too hard... will need to think about it. :-(

*thinkthinkthinkthink*

Does the book have something to do the seasons?

 

[=Tamar]

Unseen Academicals?

 

[MrsWizzard]

Tamar, nope not UA

Oi, Rath, I'm not making this *too* easy.

 

[RathDarkblade]

So it DOES have something to do with the seasons! I knew it!! *happy dance* :dance:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Ach, whut an embuggerance! Luke whut ye made me du! Dropped me needle!

Would it be The Wee Free Men?

 

[MrsWizzard]

Ach, don't be quick puttin' a feather in yer spog, ye scunner! Thiss'un is nae from the messin's of the Fairy Quin!

 

[RathDarkblade]

I think I know it, but I don't want this thread to become a battle between myself and Mrs Wizzard. Perhaps I should wait another day or two, and see if anyone else gets it?

I'm feeling very charitable.
