Interesting finds so far, but you're still not there. The word is "guilded" intended as a pun on "gilded". And remember, the whole text is part of the clue.

"The object of the Random Quotes Guild is simple--Every place you visit (or just a few, if you like) you must leave a quote--anything you want. Shakespeare, Isaac Asimov, Douglas Adams, or even your own. Be creative--If you're bored, pick a random person's home site and leave them a quote! Be sure to tell them to pass on the random quote to some other person/place!"

Good job Wonko. I am interested to know by what path you found it, because I experimented with several forms of clues in the clue itself.

the "guilded" thing when it was pointed out to be a pun made me remember that i had been to the random quotes guild earlier that day wondering why the assassin's guild linked to it... and i remembered the "random fillers" here and the rest fell in place.

Did anyone notice that if you just look at the first letters of the words you get "random quotes stop"?

No, mostly because I was sleeping at the time and not actually on the PC...

Post what?

Cat-Eyes: No..... why.... ? Posted Nov 14, 2003
I'll do it!! It'll stop me winning them and also stop me spending all my time finding them. Actually, I don't spend ALL my time finding them, I don't even look that much, I just look for a while, then give up and when i come on later start looking again...
ANYWAY, I'll plant the next one!!
If anyone has any objections to this say so now...
