Paper Telephone.

[satansaloser2005]

Oh, goodness. Does anyone else who hasn't yet gone want to trade me their writing slot for my drawing? I hadn't actually looked at the line-up. *headdesk*

[Nogrod]

Hah, I would have, but I actually just sent my sentence... :(

Well the knight in the shining armor will save you... the next time (what a line for a hero to say: "sorry milady, maybe the next time around...") :D

[Rikae]

Since it's going so fast, anyone want to do two rounds after all?

[Nogrod]

Since it's going so fast, anyone want to do two rounds after all?Me wants double rounds! Me wantss doubble rouundss!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

If we can keep up the pace, then I am all for doubles. (Maybe we should wait a bit before making the decision?)

[Galadriel55]

If we continue being ahead of schedule I think a double round would be nice. But it depends on whether we will be or not. :cool:

Let's see if we can complete both rounds in the time-frame of one! That would be one unbeatable record! :eek::D

[Eönwë]

Did not expect this to get to me so quickly. I should be able to do it tomorrow.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

If we can keep up the pace, then I am all for doubles. (Maybe we should wait a bit before making the decision?)
I would second this. Let's not get, hum hoom, hasty. Let's just try to keep the pace the way it was up to now, and then we can speak about doubles.

[Oddwen]

Hooky, Gilly, Lommy, or Greaty, would any of you be willing to switch roles with Sally?

[Thinlómien]

Hooky, Gilly, Lommy, or Greaty, would any of you be willing to switch roles with Sally?I would like to if it's still an option. :)

[satansaloser2005]

I would like to if it's still an option. :)

Oooo, that'd be fab, dear! Thank you so much! :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hooky, Gilly, Lommy, or Greaty, would any of you be willing to switch roles with Sally?

I'll swap with anyone! :cool:

[Oddwen]

Thanks Lommy! :D

Hooky, you're willing to switch being done with not being done? :P

So if we were to do doubles, I'd need another person in there somewhereabouts.

[Galadriel55]

Good job, people! We're a week ahead of schedule! Let's keep it up. :cool::)

Is there a reason for the jump between Apr. 20th and 30th?

[Oddwen]

Good job, people! We're a week ahead of schedule! Let's keep it up. :cool::)

Is there a reason for the jump between Apr. 20th and 30th?

Ummmm.........only a silly one.

[Diamond18]

I can join, if those question marks denote an open space.

[Oddwen]

Yes they do, thanks for joining!

[Thinlómien]

Sorry for putting us back to schedule. :rolleyes: Gmail decided that BD notifications were junkmail, so I had no idea it was my turn before Oddie poked me on Friday. It was a really busy day for me, so I told her I'd draw the picture the next day, and lo! I forgot, of course. Now it's very late Sunday night and I remembered it again, but I have an exam tomorrow and I still have to study for it, so I can't really start drawing now. However, I will definitely do it tomorrow because I'm seeing Agan and Greenie and maybe one more friend for a homemade drawing/painting class so I can definitely use part of my time for doing the PT pic and they can make sure I do it...

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

I'd like to join when I can... let me know.

Ooooooooookay. So. We're moving again. Diamond18 was unfortunately not able to draw us a pic, but MCRmyGirl4eva was able to step in.

[Nogrod]

Three cheers for MCRmyGirl4eva!

Let's see we get this done before the Midsummer's Eve!

[Eorl of Rohan]

Hi, Nogrod, Thinlomien.

I'm like a bad penny, I turn up every two years collecting dust beneath the sofa.

Am I too late to join in the fun?

[Oddwen]

Hi Eorl! We're in the middle of a long game right now, but I'll keep you in mind if I need a backup, and I'm sure there'll be a spot in the next game for you to claim. :D

[Nogrod]

Am I too late to join in the fun?
What Oddwen said.

But nice to see you back in a long while. And hope to see you in the next one!

[Rikae]

*pokes Nog*

[Oddwen]

Oops! You'll want to poke Eonwe.

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

Has this like, stopped, or something? :(

[Galadriel55]

Has this like, stopped, or something? :(

No, not really, more like it froze. We're way behind the DLs! :(

Incidentally, do any of you old-timers know what's the record time for a PT to finish? Like half a year or a year and a half? ;)

[Oddwen]

Ssssssoooooooooooooooo. Thennnnnnn. If the final deadline was actually deadly, we're beyond safe right now. We're unconquerable demigods ruling the fates with an iron fist.

Would we like to stop now? Or figure it's only three more people and just keep going?

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

I'd like to keep going. It's still amusing, and maybe we should just use the people who are actually active on here.

[Eönwë]

At this point with only three left, it seems kind of a waste to just cut it short.

[Nogrod]

I'll call Lommy and remind her. It's a sentence for God's sake! :p

[Nogrod]

It seems Lommy had gotten the pic yesterday... so we're rolling forwards once again! :cool:

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

Finally! Yay!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

We should probably aim for a shorter game next time, yeah?

[Galadriel55]

We should probably aim for a shorter game next time, yeah?

Maybe no doubles. Or, then, stricter DLs.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Maybe no doubles. Or, then, stricter DLs.

Stricter deadlines is difficult to enforce, especially during long games. I mean if you are number 8 on the list, it doesn't take many delays for the PT to ring at a time when you are not expecting it (and maybe not on the Downs much)

Anyways, if a system could be put in place, then I am all for stricter deadline. However I do think that the easiest solution will be less participants in each game...

[Oddwen]

It is an interesting game! But not as interesting as the games you can play with dental suction units!

Noggie, could you poke Lommy again? I'm not sure when she was last on FB

[Oddwen]

Time at last for the latest edition of PAPER TELEPHONE!

Today's secret code word is:

"We might succeed in roasting Pippin alive inside"


Aganzir chortled in her glee, fired up the oven, and then drew this picture:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/pt17.jpg


Rikae had to repeatedly asked for extra awesomesauce, finally resorting to screaming:

Faramir and Rune prepare to enjoy a romantic dinner of roast Took.


Galadriel55 was not invited. No way, no how. Because when asked to draw up a menu for the event, she instead drew this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/Oddwens2.jpg


Nogrod, fortunately, could read Atlantian, and told everyone the meaning of the picture:

Karl Marx and Eomer, who has turned into a Gondorian, fine-dine at Minas Tirith with a Shepherd's Pie á la Tom, Bert & Will.


Eonwe eliminated the impossible, and what remained was this improbability:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/eonwespt2.png

[Oddwen]

Legate had to get all bureaucratic on the party, and slapped this warning label onto the dangerous image:

Barrow-Downs Public Health Care Association Warning: Reading The Hobbit might cause collective schizophrenia. Only during the last year, we have noted three cases of such a malady afflicting Mr. Of the Rohirrim, Mr. Son of Bjarne and Mr. Nogrod.


Rune made the discovery that beef is great at removing labels. Also, most of the paint. Just look at this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/ShHappens.jpg


It was the first thing that Hookbill had ever seen that wasn't confusing as all get out. He immediately dedicated eigteen weeks worth of The Downer to this poem:

A dangerous cloud containing three outdated madmen was moving slowly towards the mystical gateway between worlds that would lead it to the Barrow Downs! Mysterious figures stand atop the hill, awaiting the arrival of these three colossal collectivists, but will the electric eel that guards the gate get the better of them?


Greenie was hired to illustrate three of the editions. She did the other fifteen for free. Most of the illustrations greatly resembled this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/IMG_0728.jpg


Gil-Galad was upset at the cliffhanger ending, and wrote a nasty letter to Argentina:

The Three hunters gazed in awe at the mystical Eel, whereas the Evil Umbrella servants could only sulk in the corner.


Blind Guardian went about her morning routine. She stole a neat looking package from Gil's mailbox, which contained a lot of glitter and this picture:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/DSCF4281.jpg

[Oddwen]

Sally couldn't stand it anymore and screamed:

In PJ's new Hobbit film, budget cuts lead to such money-saving measures as clipping Smaug's wings, borrowing props from the Resident Evil franchise, and inviting Fischer-Price to sponsor the film by providing weapons. The cast, much like the fans, are displeased with these changes.


Lommy exploded in suprise! The powder burns on the wall looked like this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/Kuva0068.jpg


TGEW was convinced of foul play. In her report to the police, this quote was taken out of context, and later became the basis for yet another creation myth:

Bard makes that crucial aim at a water-bound Smaug.


MCR sneakily sabotaged TGEW's report, adding a few embellishments of her own:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/mcrmygirlptelephone.jpg


It was food for thought. Aganzir bit it. After they wrestled it out of her mouth, her teethmarks spelled out:

Bard the Bowman needs no clothes.


Rikae did what she could with what was left, but had to piece together some missing areas with some nearby Dark Matter:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/rikaept.jpg

[Oddwen]

G55 was afraid of the dark! She left all the lights in the house on, running from room to room screaming:

Bard the Bowman realises the full horror of his situation as he comprehends that Shasta and Kath, forming the Dark Wight Alliance, stole all his clothes, leaving him only his quiver.
Next door, Nogrod couldn't sleep with all the racket. He started throwing anything he could get his hands on at G55's brightly lit house. The splatter on the wall looked like:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/P1010901.jpg


Eonwe was enthralled. It soon became apparent that he was insane. As he was carted off, he proclaimed:

It soon became apparent to Faramir that tales of the Mewlips were greatly exaggerated.
Legate suddenly felt the need to catch them all. Catching only some was just not an option. He drew this idea for a better poketrap:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/paper-telephone-6-2012.jpg


Rune fell into one of the prototype traps. He escaped easily, despite losing both his legs. He wanted to get this tattooed on himself to commemorate the event:

The absurd and nightmarish encounter left Faramir bewildered and slightly irate.

Hookbill fooled everyone. He wasn't a tattoo artist after all! He took Rune's money and purchased this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/Paperphone2012.png

[Oddwen]

Greenie hunted him down in cold blood. On his tombstone she wrote:

Dracula's grandmother returns from the dead to take vengeance on Sean Bean.


Gil dug up the body that night. But instead of a body, he found this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/Untitled.jpg


Blind Guardian came up with a scientific theory to explain the anomaly, and called it:

Death jumps out of a weird-shaped crevice to extract vengeance on a creepy guy.


Sally refuted her claim, claiming that that sort of thing happened all the time. It happened to her fifth cousin all the time. Then she drew this on her van and drove off into the sunset:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/Untitled-1.jpg


Lommy loved it! She had to have it! So she stole it. But she did change the licence plate to read:

Hookbill Half-Cat came to regret the day he slew the primordial Nazgûl-sprouting spruce.


TGEW objected on the grounds of poor hygiene. So she threw dirt at it until it looked like this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/papertelephonegameTWO/PaperTelephonetgew.jpg


And over the end credits, MCR could be heard reading the epilogue:

Eowyn, who is now apparently a cat with a man's head, reflects on killing the Nazgul-spruce tree



The end!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Rikae's picture left me in fits of giggles. :D

And, Blind Guardian, how dare you? Sean Bean isn't creepy! :(

[Beregond]

Hahaha, what a great round, guys! :D

[Blind Guardian]

And, Blind Guardian, how dare you? Sean Bean isn't creepy! :(

I didn't know that was Sean Bean until after Oddwin told me!

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

LOL, signing up for the next one

[Galadriel55]

Haha, guys, that was amazing!

Aganzir, Nog, and Rikae, I adored your pictures! Legate, your sentence cracks me up. :)

I'm up for the next round.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The sentence of Blind Guardian made me laugh a lot.

Legate, you knew I was the next in line.... why did you do it?

I got proper annoyed with both drawing and text, well actually I liked the drawing, but why all that text?

Anyways it was a good read, with some excellent drawings! (especially Rikae)
And of course it wouldn't be complete, if I didn't bitch a bit.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Rikae, your pic is just fabulous! Greenie's is rather... mystical. I would really like to hang it in my room, but I wouldn't have expected it in PT (but then again, it was stemming from the sentence...). Nog's pic is actually pretty neat, because I think the people are really well recognizable!

Legate, you knew I was the next in line.... why did you do it?

I got proper annoyed with both drawing and text, well actually I liked the drawing, but why all that text?
Ah, but I didn't know you were after me until I looked. I seldom check who is after me before I draw/write. With the text, I think that sort of text is pretty well open to interpretation, so why not just that...

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I didn't realise that I was so close to the end...

It was just Paper Telephone as usual until ridiculously detailed naked Bard showed up. As we sure that so much chest hair is family friendly? :p

[Aganzir]

Great.

I cracked up at Eönwë's trollface troll, and even more at Legate's decision to make him Nogrod. :D

Greenie's pic is really beautiful - something you wouldn't expect in Paper Telephone, as Legate said.

Rikae's picture is terrific! It's so... awkward! :D And Nog's Shasta and Kath are brilliant, as well as Eönwë's interpretation of the picture.

I love TGEW's picture and her Hookbill Half-Cats.

Next round, anyone?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I love TGEW's picture and her Hookbill Half-Cats.

Next round, anyone?

Why, thank you. I liked my pouncing Hookbill the best, I couldn't help but giggle when I pasted his head on that cat.

I'm totally up for the next round! The good news for me is that I think I've finally been able to download the right scanning programmes for my printer onto my computer. I'm terrible with Paint.

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

Signing up!

[Blind Guardian]

More Paper Telephone? Count me in!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

If we wanted to start up another round of Paper Telephone soon, I am willing to mod.
Here are the wights who expressed interest already (not including myself):
Galadriel55
Aganzir
MCRmyGirl4eva
Blind Guardian

[Oddwen]

I would like to sign up, please

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I would like to sign up, please

You're on the list now!

Galadriel55
Aganzir
MCRmyGirl4eva
Blind Guardian
Oddwen

[A Little Green]

Count me in, honey! (And love your Title by the way, only noticed it now!)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I am in as well

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Sign me up as well, please!

[Nogrod]

Me too.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Here's the new list. How many people usually play, twenty? We have ten now, so more people could sign up.
Galadriel55
Aganzir
MCRmyGirl4eva
Blind Guardian
Oddwen
Sally
Nog
Greenie
Rune
Legate

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I don't think it would be a great loss if you chose to have less participants than normally.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I don't think it would be a great loss if you chose to have less participants than normally.

I think you can even start and eventually add people on the run, it will take a while before it reaches them anyway.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

All right, that is a good idea. I will come up with the sentence and start later today.


Galadriel55 - draw
Aganzir - write
MCRmyGirl4eva - draw
Blind Guardian - write
Oddwen - draw
Sally - write
Nog - draw
Greenie - write
Rune - draw
Legate - write

If one more person signs up, then we can play doubles and everyone will get to write and draw, but they can sign up anytime during game play and I'll add them to the end.

[Galadriel55]

Whoa, just came back and saw the PM with the sentence in my inbox. I might take a day or two drawing it with all the things I have to sort out. I just didn't expect th PT to start so suddenly.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Whoa, just came back and saw the PM with the sentence in my inbox. I might take a day or two drawing it with all the things I have to sort out. I just didn't expect th PT to start so suddenly.

That's okay. I'll give you two or three days before I crack down on you... like a mod. ;)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Agh! If it's not too late, I'd like to join, please! :)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Agh! If it's not too late, I'd like to join, please! :)

I'd be happy to add you to the game, if you don't mind going last. You 'liked' my post about the game on Facebook, but you never told me whether or not you wanted to play. I didn't want to sign you up if you didn't actually want to play this round.

And now with a Hookbill:

Galadriel55 - draw
Aganzir- write
MCRmyGirl4eva - draw
Blind Guardian - write
Oddwen - draw
Sally - write

[Galadriel55]

That's okay. I'll give you two or three days before I crack down on you... like a mod. ;)

Just shifted all my work aside to do the most important thing in the world aside from playing ww - drawing PTs! It'll be ready for tomorow. :)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I am reposting this to remind everyone of where we are at. I am currently waiting on MCR.

Where are we now?

/= )('.' ) ) < Table flipping, level: bad

[satansaloser2005]

Where are we now?

I literally just sent my sentence to TGEW. I'm sorry it took me so long, by the way. *blushes*

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Sorry about the wait, folks. I went camping over the weekend and was fairly busy before then. I was not able to check the Downs until now. I am going to send Sally's sentence off to Nog after this post. The game is actually going along fairly quickly, or so it seems when on is the mod. :Merisu:

[Thinlómien]

Would it be possible to sign up still? :Merisu:

[Galadriel55]

Where exactly are we right now?

[Nogrod]

I just came by to finally check the sentence so as to finally draw it today/tomorrow...

I have been extra-busy but will send it forwards this weekend.

Sorry about that.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I am finally sending Nog's[B] picture to Greenie/B].

Lommy, you certainly may join.

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

This is tedious... I'm so impatient!

[Aganzir]

The good thing about rounds that take long is that you've forgotten what you've written or drawn before we are halfway through.

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

The good thing about rounds that take long is that you've forgotten what you've written or drawn before we are halfway through.

Hahaha! So true.....

[Galadriel55]

I think that the good thing in general about PT is that you don't even have to pay attention to it when it's not your turn. You think about it for a couple days when it's your turn and then you can forget about it until the end. It's immensely fun and requires the smallest commitement from you.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

That is indeed a lovely thing about Paper Telephone. Unless you're the mod, that is. :p

This is the reason why I missed a round of Taters to Taters. I forgot about it for a day or two and all of a sudden Boro was Facebooking me, and I was too late. :eek:

[Eönwë]

Any chance I could get in on this at this point? :Merisu:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Any chance I could get in on this at this point? :Merisu:

I would be more than happy to add you, but I'd like to end on draw, and you would be write. If anyone else would like to join too, I will add both of you. I'll post something on the Downs group on Facebook.l


EDIT:
Apparently I did not add Lommy to the list. Now we don't need anyone. I am daft.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Guess what, guys? We're almost done! I need one more sentence and one more picture, and then they'll all be in and I'll post the completed game on the thread. Until then, you guys will just have to preoccupy yourselves with something else. This may be done by Christmas. Won't that be nice? :D

[Galadriel55]

Nice holiday cheer, certainly. :)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

It's all done, guys! Just give me an hour or so to organise my thoughts and all of this mess, and it will be posted today. :D

EDIT: Apparently I deleted G55's picture and my first sentence. That is the only thing I have left to retrieve. Thanks for waiting.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I guess I'm not so much of a fool of a Took after all. Here's the game!

"Others dwelt here before hobbits were; and others will dwell here when hobbits are no more. The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out."

With this, Galadriel55 ran, all the way out of the Shire, in fact.

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb454/Galadriel55/Paper%20Telephone/TeaGEW%27s_zpsb336adea.jpg

Aganzir saw this terrifyingly real picture and scribbled this sentence.

"After a long journey and a hard to the Shire, the Ringwraiths are hindered by the Rohirrim patrolling the boarders."

MCRmyGirl4eva read Agan's sentence, went mad, and drew her picture.

http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd355/TheGreatElvenWarrior/MCRsPT.jpg

After considerable debate, BlindGuardian wrote this:

"After making a wrong turn, the Nazgûl ended up asking two mortals for Baggins (and directions) in Rohan."

Then Oddwen threw together some paints.

http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd355/TheGreatElvenWarrior/OddwensPT.jpg

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Satansaloser wrote her sentence to combat Oddwen's magic.

Bill the Pony's backwoods cousins were confused by the appearance of several poorly made Phantom clones, who, it seemed were on a quest for a Map of the Shire.

After brooding for several weeks, Nogrod reacted with this:

http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd355/TheGreatElvenWarrior/NogsPT.jpg

A Little Green saw this as her chance to act!

My Little Smokers stand confused as it turns out that hiring Phantoms instead of Nazgûl was not among Sauron's best ideas after all.

Rune saw this as his chance to offend people with this!

http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd355/TheGreatElvenWarrior/MyLittleSmoker.png

Legate, who was thoroughly confused at this, said:

After smoking all of Farmer Maggot's pipeweed, Khamul and his friend started seeing Their Little Ponies, pink rhinos and various other funny stuff.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Hookbill the Goomba, after seeing this, did the only thing he could think of, and belched out this masterpiece:

http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd355/TheGreatElvenWarrior/HookbillsPT.jpg

Thinlomien wasn't surprised at all and came back with this:

The Phantom's inanimate friend introduced him to sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll.

Eönwë saw this as his chance to act, and saved the day with his picture!

http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd355/TheGreatElvenWarrior/EonweREAL.png

Here you go, guys. Just in time for Hobbit movie celebration festivities! Enjoy. Lord knows how much trouble I went through to put this up. :rolleyes:

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Lots of really interesting drawings, well done people.

Lommy's sentence is however what I regard as the highlight of this PT round.

Straight to the point, very funny, and an excellent sentence to carry the game forward.

Of course it doesn't do any harm that it is sandwiched between to excellent drawings, and by excellent I mean funny.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I like the results of this round. A pity it wasn't longer, but maybe I got too much used to the very long PTs. In fact, it's a nice change, because it didn't drift off so much (yet still proved quite variable).

If I were to name some highlights, I very much liked G55's pic, it has some deep artsy quality in itself (note e.g. the flower on top of Bag End), and sally's decription of the ponies as "Bill the Pony's backwoods cousins" is pretty brilliant. I should note that Rune certainly surprised me with his skill of drawing ponies. The man seems to have some hidden qualities. Hookbill's drawing of "Khamul's friend" is fun, as was Eönwë's picture interpretation of Lommy's sentence (both the imaginary and real "alien" in the picture are hilarious; the dream alien has amazing expression).

However the best pic of all is definitely Nog's. The maps are a great detail, but "Bill the Pony's backwoods cousins" are RIDICULOUS!!! Absolutely lovely!!!!

Just like G55 said, this was a nice holiday cheer :D Definitely thanks for the round, TGEW (actually I should mention I think the sentence picked in the beginning was also pretty well chosen).

[Galadriel55]

I wanted to make a list of the things I particularly liked and decided against it because I was just listing every picture and sentence on the list. :D I guess I'll say some things anyways.

Firstly, as Legate said, I really liked the starting sentence. Not only because I got to draw it, but I think it's just ambiguous enough to give a nice breakage in the telephone.

Agan, I never thought you could see my picture that way until I saw your sentence. Thumbs up!

MCR, I like your Rohan border. I for sure would not have thought of that.

Oddy, your picture is just brilliant! I don't have a better way to describe the feeling.

sally's sentence made me chuckle. Backwoods cousins!

Nog's picture is awesome. I adore the -ire maps and the phantom clones. Too funny!

Greenie's interpretation of Nog's picture was astoundingly hilarious.

Rune, you're damn good at drawing Bill's backwoods cousins! And questionmarks. Yes, your questionmarks are pretty. I just said that.

Legate, I think your sentence fits in perfectly with the expression on Rune's pony's face.

Hooky's drawing is as hilariously random and relavant at the same time as always. The friend is very clever and funny, but no one should ever give Hook the freedom to draw whatever "other funny stuff" he wants! ;) Or maybe we should do that all the time! Who knows?

Lommy's sentence made me stop reading for a few minutes due to a stomachache caused by laughter.

Eonwe, I love the idea of Alien as a rock formation. Great drawing!


I definitely count this as one of my better evenings due to this PT.

[Blind Guardian]

I just want to thank everyone involved with the Paper Telephone. You have made my night!

[Nogrod]

I have to say this was one of the best I've seen / been in!

This just nailed the idea of a PT as a whole: the changes were substantial but yet logical from the very beginning to the very end - and most of all funny to the point of being ridiculously funny (Greenie's "My Little Smokers"! :cool:).

Kudos and a bow to all who took part!

I was about to continue the former sentence with "especially to..." before I realised I should have included basically everyone - so yeah: kudos to everyone for making my very stressful evening lighter and lifting my mood from somewhat distressed into hilarious! :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

What wondrous madness!! Eönwë's picture was where I finally lost it and burst into fits of giggles. :D

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I'm glad that everyone had fun, and liked the game at closing time.

[Eönwë]

This one has definitely been one of the best I've seen.

[Aganzir]

This really was one of the best rounds in a while. I think it might at least partly be due to its relatively short length - the jokes don't have time to get old when we have fewer turns.

Everything was good, but if I had to name favourites it would be Hookbill's and Eönwë's pictures. The first was hilarious, and the latter too except it was very very sad at the same time (and made Lommy and me go Awww when we first saw it).

Who's up for the next round?

[Galadriel55]

Who's up for the next round?

Mememe!!!

[Thinlómien]

What wondrous madness!! Eönwë's picture was where I finally lost it and burst into fits of giggles.My feelings exactly! It was a great round even though it didn't change so much (the main character(s) kept fluctuating between the Nazgûl and the phantom). Kudos to everybody!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Who's up for the next round?

I am definitely up for the next round. Who is going to mod it this time?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I'll play another round! :)

[Aganzir]

Who is going to mod it this time?
Me.

G55
TGEW
Hooks

Are you okay with a single round again? And if so, do you have any preferences as to drawing or writing?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I'm in, and I would prefer to draw, since I was writing the last time...

[Thinlómien]

Count me in, although not after Hookbill again (there has to be some change ;)).

Singles or doubles, either is fun, and I don't really mind about drawing or writing either. So you choose.



edit: xed with Il Legato! He's post between me and Hooksie makes me sound really rude. :D

[Aganzir]

G55
TGEW
Hooks
Legate - draw
Lommy

I intend to shuffle the deck before we start just because I think it's boring always to be between the same people (which is sometimes a problem because I share the timezone with so many players - who are in the same place every now and then and do a mass sign up through the one that happens to be online and notifies everyone else about a new game starting).

[Eönwë]

Sign me up! I don't mind which, but I'd like to be near the beginning, because I probably won't have (reliable) internet access from February.

[Oddwen]

This round made me giggle all the way through. :D Even Rune's scary Marijuana Little Pony.

I'd love to sign up for the next round! I don't mind either role, though if I'm later in the round I'd need to rely on Finnish equipment.

[Aganzir]

Also, if somebody still wants to join, they're welcome to do so! And let's try to stick to the 2 days for writing, 3 days for drawing rule. If you don't visit the Downs (almost) daily, I suggest turning on e-mail notifications for PMs (User CP -> Edit Options).

[Aganzir]

Hey people, we're over halfway through! People at the Finnish end of the game are asking for doubles, and I might be inclined to agree because we're moving relatively fast (seven people in two weeks). Are you okay with it? If yes, we need at least one more player!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Hey people, we're over halfway through! People at the Finnish end of the game are asking for doubles, and I might be inclined to agree because we're moving relatively fast (seven people in two weeks). Are you okay with it? If yes, we need at least one more player!

The question is if we still manage to keep that pace :) As in, whether we shouldn't rather be happy that we for once have managed to do it on schedule. But I think you should judge as a Mod, depending on how much the image is/is not distorted by now etc etc.

[Nogrod]

we need at least one more player!Consider that one signed in... :)

[Aganzir]

Thanks! Anyway we're still one short for doubles because Rune signed up too, but never mind. We'll see what happens, and I don't think anyone really has anything against doing a quick single round either.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I remembered that Agan had sent me a message with the call, I must have checked it late at night, because I didn't remember responding to it. My worry soon vanished when I checked this thread and saw that I was already off the list. I'm really glad that we keep a public list of who has gone here, otherwise I would have worried myself half to death.

[Aganzir]

Don't worry, I would've pestered you if I hadn't got the sentence by now. ;)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Like usual. I am just overly forgetful. :D

[Eönwë]

So did we decide on singles in the end?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I am really liking singles. It doesn't give us enough time to forget the game. I think we should keep doing games like this. Is that the general consensus?

[Galadriel55]

I am really liking singles. It doesn't give us enough time to forget the game. I think we should keep doing games like this. Is that the general consensus?

I wouldn't mind a singles game at all. I guess I wouldn't mind a doubles either, but I'm too excited to find out the results to wait. :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

We can surely finish now with one single round, and after that start a new one with the opposite roles.

[Aganzir]

I pretty much agree with you all myself. I think singles are also more fun because apart from what you write/draw yourself, you really have no idea what's going on in the story while in doubles, you have time to wonder how it came to that even before it's published. Plus it may get tedious if the story goes on too long.

[A Little Green]

I'd prefer doubles myself but if the general consensus wants singles then I'm fine with that too!

[Eönwë]

I agree. If there are enough people, I prefer singles.

[Aganzir]

Singles it is then. :) We're almost done!

[Gil-Galad]

As always, if there is a spot for me I am in.

[Aganzir]

Of course there is, it's nicer to end with a drawing anyway. Except a message in a day or two. :p

[Eönwë]

Almost there! :D

[Aganzir]

Here we are! Three and a half weeks since I sent the first sentence:

In spite of their unquestionable reputation as scientists, some dwarves are not convinced that an apple a day will keep the doctor away.

Eönwë must away ere break of day:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/iNEchK2rYR5Kf_zpsba2eb6cc.png

Once more Oddwen opens the door:
Agricultural science is not a popular or well-understood subject in Dwarven education, and is slightly less interesting than foreign fashion.

Lommy was as wise as a wizard, and as kind as summer:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/IMG_5877_zps3c14ae6c.jpg

TGEW will not say the day is done nor bid the stars farewell:
A confused Beorn and Gandalf look on at a very boring farming scene.

I am far more sweet than other meat, but still dancing spawn cannot find me:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/bd_zps4240f20a.png

[Aganzir]

Diggy, diggy hole, Hookbill is digging a hole:
When Gandalf wanted a wife to join him on his farm (which may have infringed on copyright), his advert had asked for “Bear ears and a beard”. The results were exactly what you would expect.

At last Legate will reveal himself to the Jedi:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/pt-jan-2013_zps7d60e366.jpg

sally accepted a heavy burden for the fires to consume:
Aganzir the Bearded and her well-dressed henchmen attended the uncloaking of the newest McGandalf's, only to find the establishment overrun with chickens.

Of wind G55 sang, and wind there came and in the branches blew:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/Agans_zpsa1f72626.png

[Aganzir]

So in the end Greenie will be what she will be:
McGandalf's critically acclaimed (and Fili-approved) fried chicken takes over Narnia.

Rune sat alone on his seat of stone:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/McGandalf_zpse9ef259b.png

Nog's going home again, water-lilies bringing:
Faramir comes out from the closet as MC "Faramir Cubbler" and opens a fast food chain in Ithilien. Feeling the competition, Gandalf uncloacks finally revealing himself to be none other but the one and only MC "Bearded Bird", and challenges MC FC in to a freestyle battle.

Gil-Galad cuts down trees, he eats his lunch:
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/1zbxojd_zpscd19b564.png

Aaand here's a special extra treat from Gil - freestyle rapping! :D

It's MC Bearded Bird, the name everyone has feared.
What else do I got to say? when I make my Hobbits go Hey!
Nice forest you have- Oh wait.
Nice city on the river you have- Oh wait.
What's the matter MC FC? Daddy issues possibly?
How is the House of Healing? More like the House of sucking.
I know that doesn't rhyme, but I'm a freakin' Wizard.
When I uncloak, I break space and time!

Response:

This is MC Faramir Cubbler, I'm a mean mother fubbler.
When you see my Rangers, you know that you're in danger!
With all your uncloaking about, no wonder the Hobbits never go out.
But here's the secret, I'm outta the closet.
Wanna makeout?

[Gil-Galad]

My sentence was insane, and I can see our group insanity is the result of this masterpiece.

I was thinking of the raps (and partially singing it) in the shower, everyone needs more freestyle raps in their day.

[Eönwë]

Wow, that took an interesting turn! :eek: :D

Needless to say, I loved this round.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

That was made of crazy juice!! :D

Eönwë tried so hard to turn this down a Doctor Who road. I appreciate that.

Legate's picture was a thing of beauty! I love the bear ears and Agan's ridiculous nose. I also like how they were captured in the picture. :p

Greenie's sentence cracked me up! Fried chicken taking over Narnia would be a thing terrible to behold!

Rune's Gandalf was perfect!

[Eönwë]

Eönwë tried so hard to turn this down a Doctor Who road. I appreciate that.
Well, I was hoping that everyone would get at least one reference there.


edit: Also, in case anyone's curious, I went for Angerthas Moria, not Erebor.

[Aganzir]

I was thinking of the raps (and partially singing it) in the shower, everyone needs more freestyle raps in their day.
I kept chuckling to myself every time somebody sent me their work, but I truly and seriously cracked up at your rap. It's fantastic! :D

Thank you everyone who played, I enjoyed this round a lot. :)

[Oddwen]

You guys. I love you guys.

[Galadriel55]

You guys. I love you guys.

Indeed. :D

Greenie, I want to give you a special mention for not succumbing to insanity when writing about my picture. :D

Everyone's picture/sentence was really fun!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Nogrod finally revealed his true self: A being of pure madness

My favorite moment was probably the LOTR/A Farmer and His Wife mash-up.

[Aganzir]

Nearly two months. Who, apart from me, fancies playing again? And does someone want to step in and mod, or shall I do it again?

I think that by this point I could be signed in by default. :D

Yes.

[satansaloser2005]

Oh, crap. I haven't had mobile access to the Downs and just now got the PM from Agan. Is there any way I could convince someone to switch me spots? I didn't even realize we'd started, and I simply don't have time right now. I'm ever so sorry. :(

[Aganzir]

Aww it's okay - it did take this game quite a while to start. I'll move you to the end, and even if you don't have mobile access by then, no worries.

[Galadriel55]

Stuck we seem to be. :( What's happening?

[Nogrod]

I sent my pic before the Midsummer's eve and after me there should have been (be) only Kit and Sally.

So we shouldn't be that far.

[Kitanna]

I sent it onwards to sally upon Agan's request.

[Aganzir]

Whoops sorry here's a busy mod who has forgotten to update the list. Sally has had it for a week but she's promised to send it soon, so we're nearly done.

[Galadriel55]

Yay! :D

[Aganzir]

Aurë entuluva!

In a hole in the ground there lived a Hookbill.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/HuorandHurinpapertelephone_zps3de3f1f5.png

Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy TGEW, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat;
Afraid of the night, Huor agonizes that it will never be light again, while Hurin assures him that it is only temporary.

It was a hobbit-hole, and that means Galadriel55.
http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb454/Galadriel55/Paper%20Telephone/Agans2_zps73fe6ede.png

It had a perfectly round door like a Lommy, painted green,
When the darkness falls, Húrin comforts his brother Huor.

With a shiny yellow brass Oddwen in the exact middle.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/ptelephone06012013_zps2bc12f74.jpg

[Aganzir]

The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a MCRmyGirl4eva:
Just as Kili and Fili believe that they've escaped the goblins and the Great Goblin, Fili is trapped by a falling ACME safe.

A very comfortable tunnel without Legate,
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/pt_jun_2013_zps1842606f.jpg

With panelled walls, and Blind Guardian tiled and carpeted,
Two blue robbers broken into Gollum's extended family's cave and were surprised when a Acme-block fell out of the sky and crushed one of them.

Provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and Greenie –
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/pt0613_zpsbb1e0148.png

[Aganzir]

The hobbit was fond of Rune.
To their own surprise, the Barrow-wights were in possession of a smashing security system.

The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the Nogrod –
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/P1020158_zpsc940ca1d.jpg

The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called Kitanna –
A few barrow wights enjoy game night with their favorite board game, the Comfy Balrog!

and many a little round sally opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Aganzir/1062058_608604675671_82747668_n_zpscedf5792.jpg

Thank you everyone!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Truly amazing!! I am in awe!!
Agan, that has to be the best commentary, by the way. ;)

Nogrod's Barrow Wights are very spooky! Even if they look like melted wax...

MCRmyGirl4eva's introduction of the ACME safe was a stroke of genius!

And Greenie's picture! A work of art beyond that of everything in every museum! Truly remarkable! ;)

[Galadriel55]

I can't believe how we all seemed to run around aure entuluva for a while. I even fancied the idea of a not broken telephone, but then it changed. Nice round! I have to say that Legate's, Nog's, and sally's are my favourites. :D Truly awesome!

[Nogrod]

Aurë entuluva lasted surprisingly long *kudos* but then even comfy earplugs started turning into a a board game named "Comfy Balrog"! Cool Kit! :D

Húrin's and Huor's expressions in Oddwen's picture are quite priceless, and MCRmyGirl4eva's and Rune's sentences made me grin even wider.

Greenie's pic is just hilarious - and while Sally's was a picture (and a funny one), it was actually the text in it that made me laugh.

Nice, even if a short round. Thanks for everyone - and especially to Aganzir for doing the work.

The doubles take more time time, but I'm still in favour of them...

[Galadriel55]

Aurë entuluva lasted surprisingly long *kudos* but then even comfy earplugs started turning into a a board game named "Comfy Balrog"! Cool Kit!

Indeed! For the former, I guess that Tolkien minds think alike (and I thought I was so very clever to use a book phrase in my pic... :rolleyes:), and for the latter - that was quite the twist!

I believe I forgot to mention, but I recently fell in love with Oddwen's darkness. :D

[Aganzir]

I figured out it might be better to have a long and boring opening sentence that would give the first drawer lots of options. The prevalence of Aurë entuluva was funny though.

I'd like to play on the next round, but I can't mod because I expect to get online rather sporadically for the rest of the summer.

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

I want to play too. I always enjoy seeing how it comes out, and we had a wonderful round this time: Short and sweet, but still funny!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Very funny sentences and pictures all, but I must say Hookbill's was one of the absolutely funniest things I have seen in a while :D

[Galadriel55]

Maybe it's time to put me in by default.

(Yes, that means I'm in the next game.)

[Kitanna]

I looked over all these pictures with my roommate hovering nearby. I'm not sure if she was impressed or horrified. I find it all pretty hilarious, especially the introduction of the ACME safe, and would like to join the next round.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Count me in for next time, too! :D

[Aganzir]

So, who's modding?

[Gil-Galad]

I am totally down for some more Paper Telephone.

[Blind Guardian]

How hard it is to mod?

[Galadriel55]

I guess I can mod, if someone teaches me how to open pics on Photobucket so that you can actually post them as pictures and not as links... :Merisu:

[Aganzir]

It lets you copy the link from several locations, and you have to choose the one that says something about copying image url or direct link. You can also copy image url by right clicking the picture. I hope this helps even though I'm too lazy to check how exactly it's done.

I'm sorry, my e-mail has been classifying BD notifications as junk mail AND I've been incredibly forgetful and lazy. I'm honestly embarrassed I've had this for like I don't even know how long. I should really know better.

My apologies to everyone involved!

That said, I'm currently working on it and G55 should get my not-so-masterpiece within an hour or so.

[Galadriel55]

We're on to MCR and I'm reposting the list on the new page.

MCR?

[Galadriel55]

Does anyone have MCR on their facebook/other contact info?

[Aganzir]

Nope. But I highly recommend putting on email notifications for private messages, everyone. (Or skipping people who don't get back within the appointed three days.)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I will be happy to step in as a substitute if someone disappears completely.

[Galadriel55]

Thank you.

[Galadriel55]

We're half-way there! Woot!

[Aganzir]

We're half-way there!
Oooaaah! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0CdXaOS5_o)

[Blind Guardian]

Good luck to the person that got mine!

[Aganzir]

That would be me, and I think I did a decent job! :p

[Blind Guardian]

I can't wait to see what this one started out as and what it ended up as!

[Galadriel55]

With the rate we're going at, it will probably take a loooong time...

Well you know. Drop me an email when it's my turn again :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

How is it coming along?

[Galadriel55]

How is it coming along?

Woops, forgot to update. Nog has the ball. Or the phone. Or the paper.

For the future, never let me mod this again. I'm too irresponsible to mod these long-term things. I forget that I'm even waiting for something, let alone reminding people every now and then. So don't let me mod PT. That is, unless you want it to last for another decade or so...

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Woops, forgot to update. Nog has the ball. Or the phone. Or the paper.

In which case, I am informing in advance that if it does not come by tomorrow, then I won't have time to draw the picture at this point and then I will be completely off for a week (until the Sunday after this one), so perhaps it would be feasible to swap my place in line with somebody further on.

Sure thing, I'll move you down. :)

[Galadriel55]

1) Has anyone seen Nog?

2) MCR is not answering my PM that her turn is coming. Does anyone a) have her on FB or other sites, or b) want to replace her and draw Nog's sentence?

If you haven't heard from MCR in the next day or so, I'll totally take her place.

[Nogrod]

Sorry guys.

I haven't visited the 'Downs for a while and had absolutely no idea the PT had ringed for me. :(

But well, I'm done with it now and the ball is rolling again.

[Aganzir]

Two words: email notifications.

[satansaloser2005]

FYI, the telephone has rung for me and I'll be forwarding the call later this evening.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I have done my sentence! I am not a failure in this instance!

[Galadriel55]

Awesome! Only the last quarter left... maybe will be done by summer vacation... :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Huzzah!

[Gil-Galad]

I shall attempt my bit tomorrow! Just in the process of papers right now, and I must admit I totally forgot about this.

~ better Gil than never ~

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Did you get it done Gil?

[Galadriel55]

Did you get it done Gil?

Gil was on it before, and then he disappeared. I sent a follow-up PM, but he doesn't seem to have read it yet. If you can poke him outside the Downs, it would be mighty helpful...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

He is apparently in the middle of exams, and can only look at it on friday the earliest.

I think we should consider moving the game along, perhaps adding Gil at the to the bottom of the list, so that he may contribute at a latter point if he wants to.

Well, since you're so eager to get it... ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Gil really wants to get his contribution done, and might get it done tonight, so lets give him a few more hours.

Right. I won't change the list again just yet, though, cause it's annoying. I'll give Gil another day or so, and if exams get in the way, he'll just switch spots with Rune. No biggie.

[Gil-Galad]

Done. Tell Rune to stop poking me and get out of my house. :mad:

[Thinlómien]

I did mine a bit faster than my picture :o so only two more people to go! :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

That was fast... I will have mine done tomorrow the latest.

[Blind Guardian]

Done!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

So close, it is unbearable.

[Galadriel55]

So close, it is unbearable.

I should get Legate's picture within the next day. Time differences make it hard to communicate quickly over messages.
