No problem Hookbill, I aren't angry
But since when am I Miggy? Sounds like a pink Furby-like creature to me. :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

But since when am I Miggy?
I don't know, in such a situation I just wanted to come up with a pet name... and this seemed like a logical choice :D
Sounds like a pink Furby-like creature to me. :D
Yea right :D

[Rikae]

Is there room for me?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Is there room for me?

Why not? :)

But, no more aplicants now, please folks.

Note to players:

Could we please keep our descriptions down in length from now on? I realise that it can be fun to write longer ones, but often, short is best.

Keep it to two lines, if you can. Thanks.

Holby: I know I'm a hypocrite for this. :p

[Volo]

...and for the same reason it's better not too add too many details to your pictures either. :p

As far as pictures go, detail is fun, I think. I'd just remind writers to pick the funniest and most prevalent things. :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Nimrodel_9 seems to have disappeared. Anyone know where to and if we should move on? :confused:

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I don't have an answer to the above, just wanted to announce that I won't be around on Saturday and Sunday, so if somehow the line goes to me, you might skip (rather switch) me. Just to let you know, if anything happened. Or, if the line moves to me, if you could wait for me till Monday, it would be ok. But probably it wouldn't even come to that.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Nimrodel_9 has opted out of the drawing role.

So... I'm putting him in at the end, sorry, Nimmy.

And, due to Legate saying he can't be around for the next two days, I'm mixing things up a bit...

If Nimmy has to pull out, you can switch me back to a writer... (Since I don't care so much which one I am. :))

[Nimrodel_9]

I'm so sorry guys! I've been in Cali and couldn't get to a computer! I replied to the PM, but I guess it's too late now. I would like to write still, unless you have voted me off, which I would completely understand. I've only caused problems this round. :p :o

[Hookbill the Goomba]

It's okay Nimmy. It just means you'll see two parts of the puzzle before the end instead of one...

[Volo]

So, how's it going?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I've just sent a picture to Nimmy again. Let's hope we get a response soon and then Lommy can finish off with a drawing of whatever comes up.

[Thinlómien]

Because I have no net access home I won't be around during the weekend, so the paper telephone won't be ready before Monday however quick Nimmy manages to be. But I guess we're in no hurry...

[Thinlómien]

I'll draw the pic tomorrow and send it straight away to Hookbill, so we'll have the results here tomorrow I guess. Yay! :D *is excited*

[Hookbill the Goomba]

So, I once again began with a sentence. This time, we had this:

“Eomer was getting ready to go on tour with his band, ‘The Morse Boys’ when suddenly, disaster struck!”

So, Volo got the ball rolling…

http://i9.tinypic.com/2ijhf6r.jpg

Lord Melkor was baffled and eventually got this out:

Eomer and Theodred's performance of “We Will Rock You ”while dressed like hippies is brutally interrupted by an Uruk-Hai biker gang led by Ugluk, who seems to have acquired a bad German accent as he shouts his orders to his gang to attack the two musical Rohirrim. As the Uruk-Hai approach the two performers on their horse-drawn motorbikes, Theodred drops his microphone and tries to scream in terror, only to realize that he has lost his voice, while Eomer keeps playing his guitar, totally absorbed in his musical trance.

Oddwen read it carefully and then drew:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/Messageboard%20pics%20-%20personal/hateyoumorgoth.jpg

Precioussss was baffled. Then wrote this:

Galadriel has grown a beard and is performing at a rock concert. Gollum is not impressed and is assailing the stage.

Legate of Amon Lanc danced to the moon where paper and pencils were in plenty…

http://i17.tinypic.com/309hlw1

The Might had to write… so he did.

A bearded Galadriel plays on stage with the ZZ Top band, and Gollum is a groupie

dancing spawn of ungoliant was up next:

http://i19.tinypic.com/48mr40j.jpg

Orominuialwen had a great idea:

Eowyn tries in vain to disguise herself as a member of ZZ Top (who seem to have also recruited Gandalf and Bilbo) while Gollum dances about as the sole member of the mosh pit at their psychedelic-looking concert

Rikae’s drawing skills were put to the test…

http://i15.tinypic.com/3z8ccy9.jpg

Nimrodel_9 had the time… and so this was the result.

Gandalf was very angry when Gollum quit the band

Thinlómien decided that the best thing to do was…

http://s69.photobucket.com/albums/i55/Thinlomien/band.jpg

[Thinlómien]

That was really funny! :D Except I think it remained a bit too milar all the time.

[The Might]

I especially liked Legate's idea with the ZZ Top band...:D

[Volo]

Yes that was great! It find something new and hilarious in everyone's bit. :D

[Gil-Galad]

Wow, i would love to be apart of the next game, i would perfer to write then draw personally...

[Rikae]

Attackenstein?

*chokes with laughter*

[ElentariGreenleaf]

"attackenstein" *rofl* XD

And i love dancing spawn of ungoliant's picture! It's so great :D

[Thinlómien]

Who's going to mod the next round?
Whoever it is, I'd like him or her to add me to the list. :) I'd prefer writing, but I can draw as well.

[Volo]

I asked Hookbill for the role. But if anybody wants to take it, please do.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Wow! I really liked these! Except, as Lommy said, it was all very similar... but anyway, it's all just great!

TM, I was wondering if the ZZ Top-image will be even noted and if, then if it will go on - evidently it did (spawn: :eek: ), but I must say Oro saved it from stagnation by that Gandalf&Bilbo idea (really! :D )

Whoever mods the next, please sign me up, if you could...

[The Might]

If there is enough place I would also like to participate, drawing would be better for now

[Volo]

Ok. I'll mod the next game if nobody complains about it.

Can't stop smiling at Oddwen's Eomer. :D

[Precioussss]

Thinlomien, I love that picture. I laughed hysterically.

[The Elf-warrior]

I want to write.

[Orominuialwen]

I'd love to play again! Either writing or drawing is fine with me. :cool:

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Yet another fun round! I must say Lommy's Gollum is quite priceless. :D

If there's still room, I'd like to join, and I'd prefer to write this time.

[Volo]

Yet another fun round! I must say Lommy's Gollum is quite priceless. :D
I agree. Just like in the last game Lommy turns simple paint images into something hilarious. The expressions of everybody in Lommy's works are very good indeed!

The ZZ Top is great in both pictures as well, congrats!

I'll send the first text to somebody in 1½ days.

[Thinlómien]

Thanks spawn and Volo! I'm very bad at using paint, but as I don't take drawing with it too seriously the results can be quite funny. :D

[Beregond]

This is one of the most brilliant games I have ever seen... :D

Hey, if he can join, can I join as a writer, or at least write in the next game?

[Volo]

:rolleyes: The Might, could you just ignore the PM as Precioussss will be drawing after all, because of technical problems. Sorry for the confusion...

[The Might]

No problem...I'm eagerly waiting to see what I'll get, judging by how strange this one was...:eek:

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I think we should make a rule that you should tell everyone when you've done, just in case we have these technical problems, just so we know you aren't just being lazy or troublesome. ;) :p

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

*ahem* Seeing how the progress goes, I think I need to bring a little bit of confusion to this. Because I'll be quite probably away for the weekend, or at least for a bit of it, I'm not sure if I'll be able to write now. Depends on how quickly Lord Melkor finishes his work. Or, I would gently ask Oddwen or whoever is next there to switch with me. But until tomorrow, it's still plenty time, just saying it forward, so that there's not a last-minute confusion.

[Volo]

Ok, Oddwen or The 1,000 Reader, do you wish to change places with Legate?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

If no one wanted, though, I suppose Lord Melkor has Friday and maybe Saturday to eventually finish it, and on Sunday I'll be back, so if LM takes time - the longer, the better he can make it, right? - we can continue this way with no problem, maximally just a day delay (or how the schedule is).

[Oddwen]

If you want me to, I will.

[Volo]

Well, Lord Melkor got the message a day ago. I can't check if the picture is already arrived at the moment.

I'll change put Oddwen instead of Legate if I get the picture before Sunday, just to make things easyer.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

That would be good. Thanks, Oddwen, we'll see if it is needed, depends on LM I guess...
...Well, if the picture comes before Sunday, then it seems I'll be writing about TM's picture. Mwahaha... :D
And to keep you in track, I'll pop up here as soon as I'm back.

[Volo]

Lord Melkor, could you please send the picture soon.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

...so it seems I haven't missed anything. Lord Melkor, waiting for your masterpiece!

[Gil-Galad]

i suggest shifting him to bottom of list so if he is unresponsive by then we can cut him...

[Volo]

He answered that he'll get the picture ready by tomorrow. He's already nearly done it. :)

[Beregond]

My picture's in, so I think this must be near done! :)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Great! I can't wait.

[Beregond]

Me neither - what a great game this is! :)

[Volo]

Sorry for the long delays, I think I might get them out already tomorrow! :)

[Volo]

I woke up in the middle of the night with this idea burning my head:

"Smaug got tired of living under the mountain and decided to build himself a new house on top of the mountain. Beorn is giving advice."


Aganzir couldn't find her pencils so she used paint instead:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/ih8mcdonalds/Aganzir.jpg


dancing spawn of ungoliant found a minute in between filling different forms and wrote this:

"Having a bureaucratic bear interfering with your attempts to remodel your penthouse condo made the glowing Worm wish he hadn't moved in the neighbourhood in the first place."


Orominuialwen quickly skipped through 38942 pictures and made a collage out of the best ones:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/ih8mcdonalds/Oromin.jpg


Thinlómien visited Sofocle for help and recieved great advice, this is how she improved the wise words:

"Chinese Smaug was not happy when an official-looking female Beorn came to visit him with outrageous requests."


Hookbill the Goomba had just finished another article about the Argonath when he was ordered to draw this:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/ih8mcdonalds/Hookbill.jpg


Gil-Galad opened his history book and found the courage to bring out the truth:

"The Dragon did not like Threats, in fact he hated them for it brought back painful memories of his childhood when all the other kid-dragons on his street would tease him about being a dragon with a funny hat that anyone could control him, but someday he will prove himself that dragons can be stylin' in hats too..."


Precioussss sat in deep thought and in the end concluded like this:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/ih8mcdonalds/Precioussss.jpg


The Elf-warrior who had run out of tee, visited Menel to borrow some and in his way of saying thanks, wrote this:

"Meneltarmacil thought of the humiliation that would come to him if he accepted the Hobbits' funny hat."


Lord Melkor, after having travelled to the other side of the Galaxy to see what colour Gandalf the Grey's hat was, decided that it looked like this:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/ih8mcdonalds/LordMelkor.jpg


Legate of Amon Lanc saw that this was a serious matter and grave seriously stated these words right here:

"Poor Meneltarmacil does not have the heart to decline Frodo's gift of a "funny" hat with roses on antennaes, pictures of smileys and inbuilt blue ice-cream cone; though he knows that putting it on will surely mean being exposed to the mockery of the whole Fellowship..."


The Might giggled at Legate's words and posted this picture:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/ih8mcdonalds/TheMight.jpg


Oddwen sighed and went off to put on the coffee machine, half way there she though about the matters at hand and knew that the realy truth was this:

"Bilbo gives away hats on his birthday, but Meneltarmacil(tm) is ungrateful."


Beregond looked at the dictionary and wondered what could "Meneltarmacil" mean. Then he looked in the window and gasped. The thing he saw was this:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/ih8mcdonalds/Beregond.jpg


The 1,000 Reader saw that it wouldn't be easy, but with some political accuracy managed to finish the game with this phrase:

"No hobbit would forget the dragon that showed up during Flatfoot Proudfoot's birthday in 2019."


Thank you all and do come again! :D

[Thinlómien]

That was hilarious! :D

[Aganzir]

Indeed it was. :D

Whoever mods the next round, I would like to draw again if possible. Maybe I can even find my pencils by then. :p

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Ha, wonderful! :D I must say, I like very much Hookbill's interpretation of "outrageous requests". Though, something like this could have been expected...

[Volo]

I would like to be in the next game, if somebody wants to mod. Should we try the two part double game that was held once?

Either role is fine with me.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Should we try the two part double game that was held once?
And what is it?

I'd also like to play next game, if anyone wants to mod... or if no one wanted, in the worst case, I could take that burden myself... but only in the worst case :)

[Volo]

And what is it?
From post #64 (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=13160&page=2&pp=40).

[Lord Melkor]

Haha, brilliant game once more people! :D

I'm up for another game, once again for drawing. :)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

From post #64 (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=13160&page=2&pp=40).
Oh, thanks. Well, I'd go for it, only I'm afraid if it wouldn't be too long? Of course, the longer, the more fun - and I don't think it will be any problem in appearing twice in the same chain since you wouldn't know what pictures or descriptions were between your two turns - but the way the last one went, it might take as well half a year to do something like that... :rolleyes: It would probably need everyone to really post on time, mainly for the mod's sake, because not everyone can really 100% check the Downs for several months every two or three days...

Anyway, I'd like to participate in the next game as well, if there will be a place (though if someone who is new or wasn't here for long wanted to join and there weren't enough space, I might skip this turn), and if someone wants to mod, of course. If no one wanted, I could eventually take this burden myself, but it would be really only in the worst case...

[Volo]

The rule of posting on time was forgotten... I think it's usually two days and then you're changed with somebody (if you don't inform about being late on time and beg for mercy, that is).

[Hookbill the Goomba]

That was probably the best one yet! :D
Aganzir's picture really made me laugh. And I love how Smaug turned into Meneltarmacil.


If no one else will mod, I will. The list of folks who have said they will play:

Aganzir
Volo
Legate of Amon Lanc
Lord Melkor

[Beregond]

I'll play again too! That was great! :D Drawing or writing, whatever is needed.

[xyzzy]

Ooh, I did one of these on another forum.

Will sign up.

[The Might]

Maybe write next...
Anyway, interesting how the dragon became Meneltarmacil, and Beorn became a Hobbit
Too bad the pics are more or less constant this time...

[Gil-Galad]

i would like to write again till i feel more comfortable drawing...

[The 1,000 Reader]

Can I write?

[Orominuialwen]

I'd love to play again, but only if I'll be done with my part before June 19th. (I leave the country for a month then and probably won't be online much during that time.)


The building permit Smaug holds and the background from my picture are both photos I took when my family had our house remodeled last fall--we had to keep the permit posted on our front door, and the other picture is of our bathroom with all the walls, flooring, and plumbing ripped out.

[Thinlómien]

I'd love to play again and would prefer drawing, unless there is (there are? :p) a serious lack of writers.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Looks like we are ready to go. If you want to join in, you can.

Sorry, my mistake. I forgot to change it. :(

[Thinlómien]

Might I ask how are we doing? How many people yet to go? *is anxious*

:D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Orominuialwen has the ball. But I'm going to send another Email as a reminder...

[The 1,000 Reader]

Oddwen finished her pic, and I have sent my sentence.

[Oddwen]

...

Oddwen finished her pic a looooong time ago bud, where have you been? :Merisu:

[The 1,000 Reader]

Crud, I just skimmed through the list and noticed that the person's name started with an O so I thought it was Oddwen. The dude before me has a weird name.

[Orominuialwen]

Actually, I'm a girl. :p

[xyzzy]

Male, female, it's all the same.

...I'm kidding. You can stop killing me.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

This time, I started with something simple… well, I say simple but I mean… weird.

“After Bag End melted, all Gandalf could say was, ‘that wasn’t supposed to happen.’”

Aganzir found it all a little difficult to believe. So drew a picture to help us picture this scene.

http://i9.tinypic.com/4z0bt75.jpg

Volo didn’t know what to say and so hired a professional thinker to think something up… Probably.

"A Chinese wizard accidentally sends Bad End into a time warp. Bilbo are not impressed”

Legate picked up all his courage and a pen… Then he drew this:

http://i16.tinypic.com/61knm1k.jpg

Lord Melkor did a dance, washed the dishes and almost forgot about Paper Telephone. So I sent around some Elves to beat him up until he did…

After having wandered through the East for nearly an Age, the wizard Romestamo makes a surprise visit to Bag End where he displays his awesome skill with pyrotechnics with a magnificent performance. Bilbo, however, is unimpressed by Romestamo's antics while he sits on his lawn smoking his pipe

Beregond wasn’t happy. So, to cheer himself up, he drew this…

http://i11.tinypic.com/5z697ic.jpg

Xyzzy was so baffled that this was the result:

The very tall person thought he would masquerade as a wizard, to impress the hobbits by setting off fireworks; unfortunately for him, they had already been introduced to fireworks and weren't the least bit surprised by the spectactle

Lommy pride her eyes away from the massive army of Penguins assailing her house to draw this…

http://i7.tinypic.com/4uwsrkn.jpg

Gil-Galad had nothing better to do. So writing became his sick obsession…

"So The Only Real Estel (Estel) decided to go ahead with his ingenious plan to pretend to be Thenamir so he can impress Davem and his best buddy Toby with neon fireworks so much that they will love him more then anyone else... ever..."

Orominuialwen was unimpressed and so, in protest, drew something unheard of…

http://i14.tinypic.com/6ezqbti.jpg

The 1,000 Reader had to beat off the 999 other readers before writing something weird.

The dirty commie, in disguise, took advantage of the fact that the two men were high off halfing weed and moved in for the kill, obscured by the drug-haze fireworks the men were seeing.

The Might’s drawing skills were really put to the test. Unfortunately, he didn’t revise very much…

http://i7.tinypic.com/4xo80w9.jpg

The Elf-warrior put down his sword for a moment and picked up the pen. Then, after an hour, wrote something…

Nothing stood in the way of John Lennon's plan to destroy Russia after Merry and Pippin were stoned out of their minds on Far Harad pipeweed AKA marijuana.

Who's up for another?

[Thinlómien]

*laughs hysterically* I can't believe that changed so much. :D That was great. (I love especially Legate's pic. I laughed for minutes when I saw it.)

Sign me up again and I can do whichever job, though I'd prefer drawing.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

(I love especially Legate's pic. I laughed for minutes when I saw it.)

Oh, thanks, Lommy... *blushes*

I think this one was in all incredibly funny, all the illustrations as well as all the narrations. And the final, totally crazy outcome was something we have not had here for some time - that's the way the best PTs work! :D

EDIT: I forgot to say, I realize Aganzir can draw very nice...

I'll probably skip the next one, but I hope at least that will give someone else the possibility to join...

[Volo]

Well, can't really say much more than what has already been said, so I'll repeat:

Totally wicked! :D


I'm in for more! Drawing this time, maybe.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I liked Lommy's pic, mainly because of the Hobbit saying, "some how they make me sick." :D That made me laugh so much.
Would someone else like to mod this time? Partly because I can't think of anything funny to start off with at the moment. :p

[Thinlómien]

I can promise to mod a game in Autumn when things have settled and I have just one computer regularly at my disposal, but now this is too mixed up...

[Holbytlass]

funny funny funny!!
I'd love to play, I'll do either-write or draw.


If no one else wants to or can mod then I will to give Hookbill a break.

[The Might]

John Lennon you say? :D
Well, I didn't have too much free time, so I did the best I could.
At least it was an unexpected end.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

If no one else wants to or can mod then I will to give Hookbill a break.

Actually, I don't mind doing it again. I just had a great idea for a sentence starter. :D

Anyway, I think we should have doubles this time, if anyone objects, do say so...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Although I do not like communist being reffered to as "dirty" I would like to sign up the next phone call.

It has been quite a while since I alst took part in one of these games.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Although I do not like communist being reffered to as "dirty" I would like to sign up the next phone call.

I don't think it was more to do with the fact that he haddn't showered, nothing to do with poletics.

[Gil-Galad]

aye put me up, i would perfer writing again but if we need a drawer then i shall try...

[The Might]

Ah yes, I'd like to write on this one.
That way I'll spare you my great drawing skills. :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Ah yes, I'd like to write on this one.

We're actually doing both this time, Mr Might.

[Beregond]

You can sign me up for either drawing or writing, or both, but NOTE: I won't be able to do anything (I won't be here) until the 24/25th of the month. So you can stick me in at the end or wherever you like when I'm back, or omit me entirely, whatever is needed. :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Yes but it is still implyed that the reason he does not shower is because he is a commy :p ;)

EEEP! The Might has had to pull out. We need someone to draw a picture. Anyone up for it?

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Ooo, pick me, pick me!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Consider yourself picked, Spawn. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Can I join? :)

I'd just want to write, though. Is that okay?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

You'll have to wait for the next game, Nilp, but this one is nearly over, so I don't see why not. :D
The more the merrier.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hmm. It seems I can't post more than three pictures at a time...

*****Part 1*****


I thought that it would be interesting if we started with something a bit vague.

Denethor refused to trust Gollum with the fire extinguisher, especially after last time!

So Lommy took up go carting for a while. Then she had to draw a picture…

http://i11.tinypic.com/6fzhp5c.jpg

Lord Melkor’s head began to hurt. Then we sent some dwarves around to his house to beat some sense into him. I don’t think it worked as well as we had hoped…

Engulfed by flames, Denethor nevertheless prevents Gollum from rushing to his aid by blocking his way to the nearest fire extinguisher, shouting that he well remembers the last time Gollum managed to get his hands on it, much to Gollum's dismay.

Holbytlass had a headache. But some magic beans soon put her right. Then she drew a lovely picture…

http://i12.tinypic.com/662yps4.jpg

Rune’s favourite thing to do was chop up small children. We soon put a stop to that and made him write a sentence instead.

Gollum taunts burning woman, while she dreams of an extinguished Gollum

Volo’s talent for drawing was put to the test. Which was not what anyone had expected…

http://i19.tinypic.com/6805mc3.jpg

Aganzir’s confusion was obvious…

Gandalf doesn't like hanging on a stake if the offensively behaving Gollum is hanged on a stake next to his. He wishes he could be somewhere far, far away.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

******PART 2******

Gil was more impressed. Unfortunately, he didn’t feel very well and so this happened…

http://i14.tinypic.com/52nrfx4.jpg

The Might had to write. So he did.

Gandalf and Ghan-buri-ghan are about to be executed by Shrek just like in the failed execution in Star Wars Episode II

Beregond finished off round one with a solid right hook!

http://i7.tinypic.com/504aaso.jpg

Lommy’s writing skills were put to a very difficult test…

"At a fight on a Star Wars -like planet, Ghan-buri-Ghan, Gandalf and Shrek scream their own names aloud in fear of being executed."

Lord Melkor’s drawing was just as good as his writing. Judge for yourselves if that is a compliment or not. I’m saying nothing…

http://i15.tinypic.com/66ec1on.jpg

Needless to say, Holbytlass didn’t have a lot of options…

Having fallen into a "BarrowDowns nightmare" all was chaos-an albino Rohirrim apprended the three rebels, metallic Nazgul fired upon Beorn's relatives and a dirty eye of Sauron looked upon the melee. Is that Gollum all dressed up over there?!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

******PART 3*****

Rune was not presented with an easy task. So this is what he came up with…

http://i9.tinypic.com/6b1l3jb.jpg

Volo was completely confused. As we shall see:

"Sauron is having a nightmare of Eomer leading the rebels against Gollum's sister and the Nazgul hunting bears with rifles."

Aganzir did not have a lot to say… Because he had to write…

http://i8.tinypic.com/6fkdwna.jpg

Gil was not impressed. But he played along anyway…

"The Eye tried to sleep, but he feared that when his Nazgul were out hunting bears with Ak-47's, Eomer will abandon Theoden and run down a girl that looks like Gollum.”

Spawn was called in to be the penultimate candidate. So she had a little fun…

http://i10.tinypic.com/53trx3o.jpg

Beregond decided to go out with a BANG!

The Lidless Eye lay on its bed, dreamed of goblins, pink and dead: holidays were not restful days, since Riders started on their raids; but its cottage was safe at night, the Eye had Nazgul, poor of sight; yet ere the Nazgul were aware, it was clear a bear'd been there.

It was fun, it was painful, it… was long.
Anyone up for another?

[Beregond]

Hehehe, that was awesome! I think it might have been the best. :D Thanks for doing it again!

[Volo]

Surely, this was the best (and hardest - Also thanks to scanner malfunctions.) so far!

So much changed in the process, really wonderfull! :D

I vote for another double-run!

[Gil-Galad]

Paint does not love me one bit...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Paint does not love me one bit...

Don't worry, Gil. Sometimes the more crude the picture or vague the sentence, the more amusing the results! :D

Dose anyone else want to mod? I feel like playing this time 'round.

[Volo]

Well, I'm always here to play mod, but if somebody else wants...

Anyway:

Hookbill - Either (?)
Nilp - Write

[Orominuialwen]

I'd like to join in on this round!

[The Barrow-Wight]

I think it's time I finally joined this game. Please add me to the list.

Thanks,

[Gil-Galad]

i'm in again

[Lord Melkor]

Great stuff, as usual!

Count me in for another! :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Are we doing 'doubles' again, Volo? I hope so, but if not, I'm okay for either drawing or writing.

Also, could I ask people to make sure to let everyone know if there is a delay in your task? Just so people don't get impatient. :)

Ooh. The Great man Himself has joined the game. :eek:

[Volo]

Hookbill
Nilp - Write
Oro
Himself
Double-G

Well, if I'm picked to mod, I'd go for doubles. It is fine with me if somebody wants to do only writing or drawing, as long as we have eqeal of both sides.

So, Nilp, will you risk also drawing?

[Oddwen]

May I join this time?

I'd like to just write - but if we're doing doubles, then whatever's fine.

I'd love to play again. I'd prefer to write twice, but if you're short of artists I'll do that too, preferably on the second leg. :)

[Thinlómien]

I agree that this was maybe the best ever. I laughed so much. :D Nilp and BW playing? Awesome! A pity I will probably have to skip this round...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I think it was a good game with some truly magnificent drawings. . . .I mean. .WOW!

But it think it is sad that there is a tendency to make the sentences very long and precise, personaly I love when they are short and open to interpretation.

oh well. . . it was very good non the less.

[THE Ka]

Sorry to bumble in here, but I couldn't help but comment on Spawn's work. That is the most adorable Sauron I've ever laid my eye upon...:)

If there is any room left, I wouldn't mind joining in. Drawing or writing, I don't mind a'tall. If not, no worries, I don't mind waiting until the next game. :)

~ Ka

[The Barrow-Wight]

I agree with Rune that shorter, less elaborate sentences are the best.

[The Might]

:D That was the funnist yet if you ask me, especially the part with the Nazgul hunting bears with AK47s, that really made me laugh.
So...I guess I'll join another one, but only as a writer.

ps. Thanks, Ka. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

So, Nilp, will you risk also drawing?Nope, sorry. :o

[Volo]

More players welcome with great delight!

I think the doubles or half-doubles (some of the players go to 2nd round) doesn't work... Unless some of you sacrifice yourself to draw twice or not write at all.

So if you get this going soon I might take part as one on the first rounds... or if this takes very long then as one of the last ones.

I'd rather write but could draw if needed (expect the worst then :D).

[Volo]

Ok, let's get this thing started! A normal round. Looks promissing. :)

[Orominuialwen]

Yep! Sorry, I should have my drawing done soon.

[Volo]

:) No problem with me, I'm the mod, I can wait. ;)

[Volo]

I'm truly sorry, but I'll probably have to move the modding task on somebody else, as I remembered that I have this camp thing starting next week... Would anybody care to mod from 30.07 onward?

[Gil-Galad]

this is going to take me awhile too, i can not do drawing yet i always get it... so it is going to be hard on me and i don't know when i can get this one done good enough that i like it...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I can take over if you wish. When modding, one only does one part, it will be like I started with a drawing rather than a sentence. :D

[Volo]

Thanks! I'll send you all the phrases and pictures before I leave. :)

[The Might]

Umm...just to be sure...Gil is still drawing right?
Just hope I didn't miss my turn or anything

[Hookbill the Goomba]

so for all you future mods, if you don't want the game to stall up like this, don't put me on drawing! or else you'll ge nothing back...

[Thinlómien]

Hookbill, if you'd prefer ending it with writing, I can do it if it's okay I won't be available before the 12th. :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Spawn, please clear up your inbox. You got a call coming in on line 1! :p

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Sorry, it's cleared now. :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

NILP! You got a call coming in.
Clear that inbox o' yours, sir.
:eek:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Line's clear now. :)

[Aganzir]

I thought this would have been over by now that I return home, but as it apparently isn't, I'd like to join if Mr. Hookbill allows it. I prefer drawing, if possible.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I'd like to join if Mr. Hookbill allows it. I prefer drawing, if possible.

You're in, sir. This is looking like a good one so far.

[Gil-Galad]

Alright i can still be in this telophone call only if i'm writing... i didn't want to be out of it in the first place...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Volo invented a few new words and let them fly:

"Niggle opens an Art School in Harad. The Voices are holding speeches for the crowd."

Hookbill tried some heavy stuff and saw this:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/ih8mcdonalds/NigglesArts.jpg

Nogrod managed to call the wrong number, but that only made him more confident that this was what happened:

"A bunch of 'Downers are welcomed at Niggle's Harad art school but sadly the phantom is not allowed as he's believed to be a Nazgul. Phantom cries while Alien laughs inside."

The Barrow-wight Himself decided to be very clever this time and actually went all the way to take a photograph of the event:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/ih8mcdonalds/Barrow-Wight.jpg

Oddwen decided to keep it short and use her version so this is what happened:
"The phantom of the Opera the Hun is not allowed to submit forgeries to the Tolkien museum - originality is important there as it is on the 'Downs."

Orominuialwen took her time being amused by countless ideas and drew over a million variations on the theme. This was the most artistic:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/ih8mcdonalds/Oromin-1.jpg

Beregond climbed up a tree and started a wierd ritual including strange noises. The spirits heard him and brought enlightment:

"The pompously unfashionable Phantom of the Opera tried to sell "The Lost Manuscripts of Tolkien" to the Tolkien Museum, but met with rage when the book was proven fake."

... To be Continued...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Lord Melkor was forced into a box which was then mailed to the sun. When he got back, slightly burned, he drew something... inventive...

http://i19.tinypic.com/6afnrcn.jpg

The Might was so suprised that he was sick on his computer. So he borrowed someone elses and wrote this...

The phantom tries to make money out of selling fake Tolkien manuscripts but is caught by Tolkien fans and must return home to Alien

Spawn’s sense of duty kicked in and she went out to save the world. When she was done, we asked her to draw a pointless picture.

http://i17.tinypic.com/63txd2e.jpg

Nilp had some trouble sleeping... Because the Paper Telephone team kept shining bright lights in his eyes to make sure he wrote a darn good sentence for us...

A trio of violent kids are having an 'almost authentic' Lord of the Rings memorabilia sale, and their clientèle is simply out of this world!

Ka had a difficult time visualizing the full horror of this terrible scene.

http://i14.tinypic.com/6gastvb.jpg

Lommy faced a challenge in writing. But the Penguins gave her a hand… or flipper… whatever…

Arwen's little business affair was going well as long as the reporters didn't know she was selling her Mystic Middle-Earth Stuff to goblins and fools in front of the Cecily Café.

To be concluded...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Aganzir was very upset about this sentence. But we used some sticks and stones until we got a picture...

http://i14.tinypic.com/6gyimiv.jpg

Gil-Galad was sick all over the floor. And out of the mess, he made a lovely sentence for us...

Cecile the Jester and Ugluk both hoped that their gift to Arwen the Fortune-teller will impress her enough to help Cecile's cafe and Ugluk's nakedness


Well that's it for another paper Telephone. Thanks to all our contributors and to Volo for starting us off. Anyone want another?

[THE Ka]

:) This had a lovely ending!

Though, I might as well clear up some of my madness. Not all of it, just some mind you...

Arwen's little business affair was going well as long as the reporters didn't know she was selling her Mystic Middle-Earth Stuff to goblins and fools in front of the Cecily Café.

I read 'out of this world', and got the idea from one of my favourite television shows, Northern Exposure. The reason being, is that it is based in a fictional town of Cicely, Alaska (Yes, I only realized after I had sent the reply in that I had been a dunce and incorrectly spelled the town...:().
Anyways, it is filmed in Roslyn, Washington, though many people think that it's a lost little section of Alaska situated in an entirely different area. So, I played on the joke of an 'alternative universe' of Cicely.

Also, the violent child on the left of the table is Max. He doesn't have the Wild Things with him, sorry.

The rest is an absolute mystery, since I don't want to give it all away, which is a bore. :p


Though, something is troubling me. Why can't Nazgul go to art school? Is it because they can't comprehend Expressionism fully?

~ Ka

[Hookbill the Goomba]

So... Does any one want another game, or has everyone lost interest? :(

[The Elf-warrior]

[The Might]

Har, har, har, guess who's back?
With a new and improved PC I'm reday to take part in the next one and...I'll draw. :cool:

[Lord Melkor]

I don't mind joining in again if there still is an open spot. I do prefer to write this time though. :)

[Thinlómien]

Hookbill, why is Rikae after me if we're both to draw?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hookbill, why is Rikae after me if we're both to draw?

Sorry, twas a typo.

[Volo]

Hookbill, dear mod, could you add one (1) Volo to the soup. Thankses!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Certainly, volo.

Has anyone seen THE Ka around?

[Orominuialwen]

I'm swamped with homework until Friday, but I'll try to do my drawing then.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

To keep up the status quo, we decided to begin this Paper Telephone with an interesting sentence about the goings on in Rohan…

"Theoden's plans for a purple tree of Rohan meets mixed reactions from the super intelligent horses."

Aganzir bit his own face off in the attempt to get his mind around this craziness. So this is what came out of his pen.

http://i19.tinypic.com/6b384f7.jpg

The Elf Warrior had no time to lose. But several watches went missing from the Downs…

Boromir taught an art school for horses

Lommy’s task involved running an obstacle course. We’re not sure why…

http://i8.tinypic.com/62ruref.jpg

Gil had a nervous breakdown. From his inane babble we discerned the following words…

"Boromir failed to impress his horses with his example of a landscape picture, the horses then began to lose hope in Boromir and give him dirty looks”

Rikae’s Pen and paper were hunted down by an evil government conspiracy. So she just drew something different.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/maiaminna/papertelephone-1.jpg

Firefoot had, well, some fire on her foot. After putting it out, the only thing to do was write a sentence or two…

Some punny ponies watch skeptically as Boromir wildly illustrates that Rohirrim verse, "...A red dawn rising."

...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

THE Ka, not just any old Ka, but THE Ka, decided it was high time for something a bit unusual…

http://i4.tinypic.com/2rmawy1.jpg

Finduilas was so upset that there was need for an ambulance.

When Arod sees Boromir selling pain in the form of red paint, he said "Dead man tells tales," which caused Hasufel to faint.

Then what happened was that Orominuialwen was faced with a terrible decision. Weather or not to run away or to draw a picture…

http://i4.tinypic.com/4lzbtbp.jpg

The Might finished off with some terrifying thoughts.

Boromir and one of the mearas have a tomato sauce eating contest after which gives both hallucinations and ultimately makes the horse faint.

[Aganzir]

How on earth did Théoden become Boromir? (That poor old man, he seems to have hurt his left hand in my picture anyway - look how it has twisted!)

Lommy, that Boromir of yours is cute. Where can I find him?

And I just love Rikae's picture. :D

[THE Ka]

And I just love Rikae's picture. :D

Ah, moi aussi! It is lovely, and started a bit of a challenge to make as many horse and red dawn related things 'punny'. Thankfully it did not lead to bad cases of 'ennui'.

~ punny cursed Ka

[The Might]

Lol, I believe there is a "t" missing on that paint bucket. That's why I misread it...pain!

EDIT: Wait, that is supposed to be pain?! Ah!

[Thinlómien]

Rikae's and THE Ka's pictures made me laugh so much, especially Rikae's.

That was a very funny round, but a bit too short and changed a bit too little (what a great and grammatically correct way of expressing that :rolleyes: ).

Who's going to mod the next one?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I can mod again, unless someone wants a go... Please?

This time, I think we should wither have at least 20 participants, or 10 and do doubles. Shall we see what happens?

Sign up now:
So far...

- Hookbill
- Lommy
- Volo

[Thinlómien]

If you (or someone else) can mod this one, I would probably be able to mod the next one - unless it is running the same time as my ww game. But even that might not be a problem, though. We'll see then. :)

This round, I'd prefer drawing but I have no objections to writing either. And I'm all for the big game.

[Volo]

Could you please add me to the player list?

[Finduilas]

I would be happy to join again. Either job would work, but I will be faster if I write.

-Finduilas-

[Firefoot]

I'll write again.

I'd like to draw. Again.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

You can sign me in, for whatever you'll need, if there's space. I think I was absent from that for too long time.

[Kitanna]

I'd like to join and be a writer since my "artistic" talents put me to serious shame.

[The Elf-warrior]

I'd like to write.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

We need at least one more volunteer for drawing!
Does anyone object to doubles?

I'm all for doubles: writing and drwaing are both so much fun and it's always serious trouble trying to decide which one to do! :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Doubles? Great! That would be the first time I'm trying it, it will surely be funny. It's good in trying both (and in the horror of realizing, when it's your second turn, what was made of the original concept you received the first time).

[Finduilas]

Works fine for me.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Well, I'll make a start. Although we still need at least one more volenteer. Let us hope one comes before time runs out! :eek:

i'm in

[Thinlómien]

May we have an update on where's it going? :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

May we have an update on where's it going? :)

Eek, sorry, yeah....

Aganzir has the task at the moment.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Aganzir isn't responding... Is s/he dead* or something?

*Yes, I know this is the Barrow Downs and we're all 'Dead', but I mean the boring sort of dead.

[Thinlómien]

No she's not dead :D, (she was without a net access since Sunday afternoon), but she's back home now so I guess she should be responding soon... (I know her from RL.)

[Aganzir]

I have now sent my sentence. Sorry for being late - I had no idea my turn would be so soon because when I had a chance to check the Downs last time it still seemed to be Volo's turn. Lommy has already explained the rest.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

We're up to part two! It's really looking brilliant so far! :D

[Thinlómien]

Can't wait anymore... Hurry up, people! :p ;)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I'm still waiting for Finduilas' drawing... I think I'll send another PM...

[Finduilas]

My greatest apologies to each and every one of you. I will admit that drawing on the computer isn't one of my strong points.:rolleyes:

So, Hookbill should get the picture sometime tonight, but it will be... well, far from satisfactory. Ever so sorry.

[Thinlómien]

Ever so sorry.Don't worry, Fin, it isn't one of my strongest points either (and I'm probably right if I say it's not the strong point of all other 'downers either) - but that's the thing that makes it fun! I mean, for example, my pictures wouldn't be half as silly as they are if I really could use paint like pen and paper... :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

People, this one must be really brutal... with the double rounds, when one has the possibility to see how the thing has mutated, he is just left to speculation how that came to this... (I have some ideas on which things developed out of what. But it's absolutely horrific and I cannot explain the process anyway.)

I am really eager to see it all...

[Thinlómien]

Well, to be honest I've already forgotten what I drew and I have only vague recollections of the sentence I wrote... So for me at least it will be a brand new surprise... :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

We are almost at the end! I can't wait! Hurry up, people!

...no, you can take your time, of course the better you make it, the more fun it's going to be... just that... I'm really eager to see this one.

Ah, only joking...

We began with some unusual stuff going on in the Downs...

"As the Barrow Wight's head fell off, The Necromancer realised where he might have gone wrong in choosing dead people as his servants..."

Lommy was attacked by a gang of vicious Italian plumbers armed with mushrooms. But she still found time to draw this:

Volo was captured by armed criminals. Then called the police. Then came home and wrote this:

"Sauron is changing sides once again, but has trouble getting rid of his undead army"

Firefoot's fire hands were put to the test for a drawing contest...

http://i22.tinypic.com/154uk4n.jpg

There was nothing for it! Finduilas had no choice but the shoot a goose out of a cannon and then come home and write some weird stuff...

"The Army of the Dead marched about to attack Sauron's right flank. Thinking that anything dead and as repulsive as the green army must be his own minions, the walking Sauron reproved them with a terrible voice from his flaming eye. The dead army stared at him in confusion." [I cut this down because it was too long, but the essence is still there. Sorry Finduilas, hope you're not offended.]

Legate was happy to eat the cakes we provided him. All 45000 of them. Then he drew this...

http://i22.tinypic.com/30bml9y.jpg

We all hoped that Aganzir wouldn't be tempted by the mountain of chocolate. So we distracted him with some tactful Paper Telephone writing...

"Sauron In Boots tries to scare off an army of Dead Men, Gollum the mummy, a white dwarf and a slimy green thing in order to prevent them attack the Morgul-host"
