Comic Amalgamation Station

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Not sure if this will be acceptable, but after the success of Paper Telephone, I thought this was worth a shot...

This game is a little like Paper Telephone, but with an important difference; its largely picture based. The task is to create a comic strip. The problem is that each panel is made by different people who have no idea what else is in the comic.

Basically, this is how it will work;

We'll chose some budding artists (or force some not-so-budding terrible artists). I will PM a subject to them. It will be Middle Earth related, of course. Along the lines of 'A meeting of Orcs', 'Gandalf's hat troubles' or more likely, something funnier. Each player will then draw a panel for a comic strip. (I'll give dimensions at the end...) Once everyone has sent their pictures back to me, I'll do my best to arrange them into some sort of 'story'.

If you agree to this game, then you should keep your drawings to this size;

Example;

200 X 200

So... Will any among you join this quest to spin a tale of such strangeness that all the Elves will collapse in disgust? I'd like to get about 6 players at least.

[Aganzir]

Yea.

I've been terribly lazy with drawing lately, and what would be a better way to get me to draw again than have an angry Hookbill pestering me if it takes me too long?

[Nogrod]

Ha-ha. Sure bet!

I'm in, that means... :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Thanks for supporting this incredibly silly game. :D

The benefits of this game are that everyone is drawing at once, rather than in a chain. So it should be done sooner than a MASSIVE Paper Telephone run. :cool:

[the phantom]

I am no artist.

In the one art class I was forced to take when I was 12, my final project was a terrible drawing of a monster with a huge sword and a shoulder mounted grenade launcher. The art teacher didn't approve.

And for our final pottery project we were supposed to make an ornate pitcher with a lid. I made a four-legged monster-looking thing, hollowed out the inside, and then forced a small hole through from its mouth down through its neck to its body so that you could pour liquid out of its gaping maw.

Again, the art teacher didn't approve.

But this little game gives me hope, Hookbill. Surely here on the Downs my work will not be looked down on. I can redeem myself, and become a respected artist.

Or at least I can become a terrible artist that is laughed at rather than sent to the principal.

The Downs wouldn't approve.

Phantoms aside; Hookbill, when are you planning to start this thing? Or when do you think it would start... and how much time are you planning to give to the... artists... to draw their pieces?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Phantoms aside; Hookbill, when are you planning to start this thing? Or when do you think it would start... and how much time are you planning to give to the... artists... to draw their pieces?

I'll start as soon as we have a good number of artists. I'll probably give a limit of... say... a week at the most? It's only a small picture, so it shouldn't take that long...

[Thinlómien]

This looks like a lot of fun... count me in. :)

[Nogrod]

I'll probably give a limit of... say... a week at the most?I'd call that a decent shot. Week is enough if you have other duties pressing on certain days - or even several days - but not too much to wait for the outcome. :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

We could do with two more participants... Any takers?

If nothing else, it's something to do while we wait for the current Paper Telephone. :D

I'll join. :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Tell you what, seeing as we aren't getting any more volunteers at the moment, I'll fill up the blank space with a 'the end' panel or something. So... This means we're starting any minute now.

I'll PM the theme to all the participants along with instructions and what not.

Let's hope this is a good one!

Of course, if someone volunteers before the end, I won't say no to them.

[Thinlómien]

Can people still join? I was just talking to Greenie less than an hour ago and showed her this thread and asked if she'd like to join, and she said yes, and I asked if I should post about her being a volunteer here and she said she'd rather do it later by herself and let me write my RPG posts now...

[Aganzir]

Hahaha.

Well this didn't make much sense, but it was amusing. The bright colours contrasted the happenings quite nicely (well, except for my pic, but I ended up being too lazy to colour it).

If we're doing another round, I'm in - unless Hookbill (or whoever's going to mod it) decides on a participant limit and there are other people who want to try it.

However, I'm not sure if some more consistency would be needed. I kind of liked it this way but it might be worth a try - say, if the mod gave the players a short list of characters to choose from, or just wrote a story to explain the pics once that the round is finished? Or would it become too much like Paper Telephone?
Dunno.

[Nogrod]

Dunno.I agree with a need for some consistency... but we should not destroy the very anarchistic idea this whole thing kind of rests on.

I think with a host more contributors and some deals made of the central characters this would be much more fun. With 10 to 15 pics the mod could really do her/his best and would have a lot of more choices to build a funny story. With only six pics one has very limited possibilities.

But it was fun to be in this and I do hope we'll get a new one with lots of contributors to make this a real event!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

That's not a bad idea. I had thought of something along those lines, but wasn't sure whether or not to do it right away.

You're right that we need more players. So, call up your friends, and your enemies! Let's get some sort of MASSIVE comic of some sort of doom.

[Thinlómien]

That was rather insane. :D I love all the pics.

I agree that there was maybe a slight problem with consistency/ making sense, but I think it was more because of the original sentence than because of the rules. Had the sentence sent to all of us included some character or object (eg. "Frodo caused a tragedy in Hobbiton"), it would have turned out rather different, I think. So, I don't think the rules necessarily need to be changed. (It's a question of preference, I think.)

Count me in for the next round.

[A Little Green]

You can count me in as well. Great work with the last one, guys. That was pretty weird. :p

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Okay, players signed up for the next game...

- Aganzir

I'll try and maintain some consistency by giving a list of characters for the next one. Maybe at least two can volunteer to do the 'ending' and 'starting' frame? Would that be good?

[Oddwen]

That was silly. :D And it did make some sense, as tp and Agan shared a character in theirs...thank goodness for widespread inside jokes and egotism.

I'll volunteer for the next round.

[the phantom]

Interesting comic we came up with. I see my panel was a little too large. Sorry Hook. I'll try to make it right this next time.

And just what is that in the background, Ganzy?

*glares*

[Nogrod]

I'll try and maintain some consistency by giving a list of characters for the next one. Maybe at least two can volunteer to do the 'ending' and 'starting' frame? Would that be good?

++ a list of characters

++ volunteer for the starting frame

We might also have some slight basic ideas about the central characters, like if there is Aragorn he should have "brown shirt and a green backpack" or whatever so that we might be able to see the drawer has intended the same character. It doesn't need to be minute as all creativity is okay but just some such features which would make it clear to everyone who the character is (like Faramir is having a red feather in his hat :))?

[Nogrod]

PS. How about trying to attract people in with some PM's? It would be fun to try this with actually a slightly bigger crowd.

[Nogrod]

Also the header could be a bit more detailed. "Tragedy in Hobbitton" is vague enough to make too different interpretations available with only half a dozen drawers in the game. I do not wish for any strict headers but a bit narrower one could be better - at least if we don't get a landslide for new people to join as well.

Like I said earlier it needs to be open enough to keep the possibilities of totally insane stories to be made up open still...

PS. Referring to my first post: I'd keep the last frame open for the mod to decide which it should be, but the maker of the first one could be decided beforehand...

[Aganzir]

And just what is that in the background, Ganzy?

*glares*
Oh, just some random guy Gandalf had hanged because he couldn't stand it that he was almost as hot and smart as Gandalf himself.

++ a list of characters
++ a volunteer for the starting frame

I agree with Nog about the last frame as well as about the subject being a bit more detailed. However, I don't think the main features of the characters are that necessary to decide (unless it's something like "who chopped off Gollum's arm?").

Inviting people might be useful, either via PM or by posting an ad to the Paper Telephone thread. It might attract a few players.

[Thinlómien]

[THE Ka]

Sure, why not.

I just won't be around until Monday though, if that is a problem. I have... Things to do. Artsy things. Yes. :smokin:

~ Ka

[the phantom]

I agree that it might be good to add a detail or two- eg "Trouble with Gandalf in Hobbiton". But I think placing too many demands and restrictions on the panels will lead to amalgamations that make a bit too much sense. I think part of the fun of this is the fact that things don't make sense.

So yes, give us a slightly more detailed topic, or maybe one recurring character or object, but not any more than that.

So... Who wants to do the opening panel?

[Volo]

Though I haven't fully grasped the idea, I'm in.

[Aganzir]

If there are no other volunteers, I have no problems doing the opening.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I'll leave the player list open until Sunday, shall we say? Hopefully the weekend will give some the chance to sign up... Maybe?

Thanks Agan! I look forward to your work. :cool:

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Well, as I managed to return, and as I see quite "five minuts to twelve", I'd say, I would like to ask: May I still join this round? Could be interesting.

If you've got an open spot, count me in, please, Mr. the Goomba.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Thursday? I don't know if I can manage it before Sunday or Monday...)

Hey, but sure it doesn't have to be a super-masterpiece? (At least mine certainly isn't :D ) Even more, the picture is supposed to be relatively small, so you even cannot make it into that much detail (well, the artists who really wish to can do that, of course, and fit in even more than a common mortal can, however that's not so common and maybe even not the main purpose of this drawing... although...)

We'll see. :)

Oh, um, could people please sign their E-mails with their screen name. Last time I had to rack my brains trying to work out who some of you were. :D

Were you able to figure out which mine was, sir? I didn't put my screen-name anywhere in the email, sorry.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Were you able to figure out which mine was, sir? I didn't put my screen-name anywhere in the email, sorry.

I think so, Gwath. I went by a process of elimination based on what I recognized from past Paper Telephones. :D

[Thinlómien]

Done. But it is no masterpiece and I was drawing it in the school library so some people will probably look at me oddly from now on... (The expressions when people happened to glance at my computer screen were hilarious... :D;))

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I lost my sketchbook, and cannot find it... I will try to find it soon, but if I don't find it I guess I'll just have to draw it on printer paper or something...

I'll try to get it in by Friday.

[Gwathagor]

Microsoft Paint is where it's at. :smokin:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Microsoft Paint is where it's at. :smokin:But Paint is so hard to use! Well not really...:p But I don't like drawing with it. It reminds me of drawing on the computer with the right handed mouse!

[Oddwen]

Try a trackpad sometime...

Mine's finally in!

[Nogrod]

But Paint is so hard to use! Well not really...:p But I don't like drawing with it. It reminds me of drawing on the computer with the right handed mouse!Is there another way of using the Paint but the mouse? :confused:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Is there another way of using the Paint but the mouse? :confused:I don't think so... I can use it, I just don't like to, especially because I use a lap top (Or table top I should say) and the mouse is not a mouse.

[Volo]

Is there another way of using the Paint but the mouse? :confused:

Touch pad/screen or whatever they're called. My mother's laptop can be operated with a pen instead of a mouse. Since you gave the idea, I might try if it's of any use.

[Gwathagor]

Try a TrackPoint. Ha ha ha ha ha.

[THE Ka]

But Paint is so hard to use! Well not really...:p But I don't like drawing with it. It reminds me of drawing on the computer with the right handed mouse!


Ugh, same here! I've never been able to find a left-handed mouse. Though, the touch pad is definately time saving and amazing, but it can take some time getting used to. (It can be a bit... touchy. Har har.:rolleyes:).

~ Ka

[Nogrod]

Okay, I seem not to understand a few things in here but even with the risk of looking like an idiot I'm going to ask this as drawing things with a mouse is just so annoying and any better idea into using the Paint would be welcome.

So what is this talk about left-handed mouses? A joke I don't get or something I know nothing about? I'm a left hander too but have no idea how "a left handed mouse" would change anything. I can move the mouse to left side of the keyboard to use my left hand in drawing and clicking the left-button is no harder than clicking the right one. As the question can't be of that, then what is it?

[Gwathagor]

Anyway, if you go to your computer's control panel, you can switch the button functions so that it is effectively a left-handed mouse.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Anyway, if you go to your computer's control panel, you can switch the button functions so that it is effectively a left-handed mouse.
Exactly! I changed the touch pad on my computer to left handedness and it is hilarious when other people try to use it!

But I will have my picture sent to Hookbill soon!

[Nogrod]

Exactly! I changed the touch pad on my computer to left handedness and it is hilarious when other people try to use it!
Looking at the joy I clearly have to be missing something... :smokin:

Anyone of you wishing to tell an old-timer what is it you're talking about? :)

*smacks forehead* Thanks for that bit of computer wisdom!

~ Ka

[Gwathagor]

Yes, it's an old Indian trick. My grandfather taught it to me. I can also show you how to build a fire in the snow and stalk a deer.

[Thinlómien]

Please don't teach it to Nogrod. Otherwise I'll never be able to use his computer again... :(;):D

[Volo]

Please don't teach it to Nogrod. Otherwise I'll never be able to use his computer again... :(;):D

I think he'd change the mouse settings back to normal soon enough. I tried using the mouse with inverted settings for an hour or so and it felt so uncustomary that I decided that even a lefty couldn't switch to it after using the normal settings all his life. Anyway, Nog, try it if you wish: control panel -> mouse (pretty much that's it).

What I myself mentioned earlier was more on the lines of this (http://www.wedgwood-group.com/touch_screen_lcd.htm).

[THE Ka]

It's hard at first to become used to, but it definately is a great improvement for my wrist though. Kajunamik, Gwath!:)
Just wish that my mouse would curve with my left hand, but oh well. :rolleyes:

Oops sorry. It means thank you.

I was spending too much time studying inuit and Duncan Pryde that day. :rolleyes:

~ Ach! Ka

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Well... Here we go... This makes very little sense. But I think it's funny. And if you do to, then that's what counts! :D

http://i38.tinypic.com/11r3pdd.jpg

I always thought that part of the challenge was to have everyone drawing seemingly random panels and the mod has to try and attach some meaning to it. But the results, as we have seen, can be very baffling. Would you prefer a definite story? Or maybe have it split into teams; three to do the start of the story, three to do the middle and three to do the end? All collaborating with each other, but the teams being sort of independent thus retaining something of the challenge? Or maybe just teams writing any part they want and therefore the challenge is arranging each teams' work?

Thoughts?

[Gwathagor]

As you say: baffling. There does not seem to be any discernible progression between the panels, except perhaps in location.

[Gwathagor]

Now we have to guess the artists. :)

[Thinlómien]

This is rather mad. :D Could you, Hookbill, though, tell us what the texts in THE Ka's picture (here starts the guessing, Gwath ;)) say? I can't read them...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

This is rather mad. :D Could you, Hookbill, though, tell us what the texts in THE Ka's picture (here starts the guessing, Gwath ;)) say? I can't read them...

Urm, I can't read them either. That's the size she sent it to me. I just like the look of it as a mad party, being the 'something else' Gandalf had to offer. :D
Anyway, I think these are the artists;

Aganzir, Volo, Gwathagor,
the phantom, A Little Green, TheGreatElvenWarrior (With some help, no doubt, from TheQuiteGoodElvenWarrior)
Nogrod, Oddwen, Thinlomine
Legate, THE Ka, THE End.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

As for me, I had one idea what could be done to make the game work better, when I was drawing my picture, and it seemed good to me. Unfortunately, I forgot it. :D

I think it was something like that everybody could draw two pictures to maintain some continuity (the pictures will be then distributed randomly, could be following each other, but normally they should not), or be given a random picture to see for inspiration or something. I don't know. If I remember the exact idea of what I had in mind, I will post it here.

[Nerwen]

Three comments:

1. That comic makes no sense whatever... but I guess that was the idea?:confused:

2. I have no idea what the point of the "left-handed mouse" thing is. It's just as easy to use a normal, non-switched mouse with your left hand (as I do, and I work in computer graphics).

3. Drawing with the mouse takes practice, though. If you're frustrated, and feel like spending money, try a graphics tablet. A lot of artists use them (but not me, so I can't recommend a brand).

[THE Ka]

I really like Gandalf's stockings, Oddwen. Then again, they're pink, so it must therefore be Saruman. Only someone that twisted could pull off that colour. :p

A Little Green's 'Boo!' man reminds me of the comic toothpaste for dinner (http://www.toothpastefordinner.com/).:D


I was really worried once I had it scanned and modified, since it looked pretty snarky on paper and then makes no sense at 200 pix. Then again, the mad party bit does make sense, and I like the mystery of it.

Here's the original, I really need to work on keeping things simple:

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa168/The_Ka/origcomamag.jpg

I don't feel up to explaining who is who. It's already straight-forward enough.

Yay! When is the next one?

~ Ka

[Nogrod]

In the air of the current financial crises I might say, "yes there is still a bit too little regulation"... :)

2. I have no idea what the point of the "left-handed mouse" thing is. It's just as easy to use a normal, non-switched mouse with your left hand (as I do, and I work in computer graphics)
Thanks for making me feel sane again... I mean at some point I relly thought I was being a silly person with no idea of something really basic everyone knows...


A fun round anyway and some really nice pics!

But anyway we should think of this for the next one. Like the lawmakers in the U.S., how to regulate it enough for it to work but not to shun individual effort?

*ponders* :smokin:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

This one was quite strange! I just don't know what to say. My favourite part was the one that said THE End, though!:D:p;)

[THE Ka]

Would you prefer a definite story? Or maybe have it split into teams; three to do the start of the story, three to do the middle and three to do the end? All collaborating with each other, but the teams being sort of independent thus retaining something of the challenge? Or maybe just teams writing any part they want and therefore the challenge is arranging each teams' work?

That would probably give the comic enough glue to string together some plot, but not too much at the loss of perfect insanity.
Maybe something like a 'choose your own adventure' book, where some of the plot remains, but the result for the different parts is wholly up to the team's devices and imagination.


My favourite part was the one that said THE End, though!

Ach! Don't mention that name! THE Great Crasher of Epic Narrative, THE Far Too Conclusive One, and Destorer of Tolerably Well Crafted Plot Lines...


~ Ka

[Aganzir]

I'm in for the next one.

Sorry but I'm too tired to think of any ways to improve the coherency right now. I promise to think about it tomorrow or some other day.

[Thinlómien]

This was very amusing :D but I agree that the format is still a tad too unclear or that it doesn't work out perfectly yet. Hmmm... would this game totally lose its point if it became more papertelephoneish so that we actually established a list of the order in which we draw, and then everybody could see the panel the previous person had drawn (but not the ones before it)? (And did I explain clearly enough?)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Here's an idea to make things a little less Paper Telephone...y?... and still retain some sort of story, as it were.

We get two people to draw panels. A third person draws something to try and link to the two together. Then we take the last panel and get someone else to draw another, then someone else links them. Something like that? So it's a bit like a chain, only... not?

Does this make sense? :(

[Aganzir]

I think that sounds at least worth a try. And if it doesn't work we can always try something else. :)

I am unable to draw (well, I can draw but not send) anything during next week, just FYI. So I will have to do my piece either very soon or only later I think.
Or then you Hookbill could come and pick up the picture in London. ;)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

The idea as presented by you sounds good, Hookbill. Actually, the thing I thought of originally (which I can't recall :D ) may have been something similar (that means it is a good idea ;) ). And, you may add me to the list... if there's space still!!!

[Nogrod]

Good idea Hookbill!

I'm in for a try.

*this will work one day, this will work...*

[Thinlómien]

Let's try it, then. :) Count me in, Hookey. :D

[THE Ka]

Does this make sense? :(

Perfectly, we just have to make sure we have an even number of people, or someone is going to be left out.

I'll try another go, hopefully this time it won't look like a microscopic scrubble.

Urm... If this game goes ahead, I don't think I'd be able to mod it. Coursework and other matters are bludgeoning me in the face at the moment... I may be able to get a panel done, but I don't think I'd be able to properly mod.

Anyone up for it? :(

[Volo]

I'll play, not mod.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Well, I think that's enough players... All we need now is a mod... :(

- Aganzir
- Legate
- Nogrod
- Lommy
- THE Ka
- Gwathagor
- TheGreatElvenWarrior
-Volo
- Hookbill

[Oddwen]

Hmm...I think I might be able to mod.

Did we find a continuity fix yet? Two suggestions I have would be to either have the mod come up with a story and give each drawer an assignment, or to be too paperteleporno and have each drawer describe their panel for the next person. The first might be a bit too tyrannical, and the second too multiple-topics-on-the-same-subjectish.

[The Might]

I wanna play too! :D

[Laurinquë]

Seems a tad late, but I would like to play so I'll put myself up for the next round.

I laughed so hard at the last strip, and I don't even know why. I think it was just all the strange situations Gandalf went though, I mean really, Daleks? It's amazing 'Greaty'. I'm glad you asked if you could put one in.

[Oddwen]

Mkay. Here is my list of players:

- Aganzir
- Legate
- Nogrod
- Lommy
- THE Ka
- Gwathagor
- TheGreatElvenWarrior
- Volo
- Hookbill
- He Who Arises in Might
- Laurinque


Here's how it'll all go down. I will PM you all the same sentence, you will draw a 200x200 panel. Dialogue and the occasional "Meanwhile, back at the ranch..." inserts are fine. You will email it back to me at the address I will send you. I will arrange said panels in a semi-coherent manner, and then post them here.

If the end result just doesn't amalgamate, I may add a few panels myself.

Any objections? If not, I will send out the PMs tomorrow.

The next Mod may want to replace "a sentence" with "a poem"...that could be interesting.


edit: Oh!

We get two people to draw panels. A third person draws something to try and link to the two together. Then we take the last panel and get someone else to draw another, then someone else links them. Something like that? So it's a bit like a chain, only... not?

What of this?

[Oddwen]

I've sent y'all your sentence a day late, which I'm sorry about. But they're sent.

Please try to get your panels to me at the address ensconcelled in your PMs within a week.

If you want to give your panels a widescreen effect by making them wider, I wouldn't mind. It's kind of a weird sentence after all. :/

[Oddwen]

Please try to get your panels to me at the address ensconcelled in your PMs within a week.


Know what...I forgot that many of you are also working on the *cough* long-running Paper Telephone...during the Christmas season...

If we can finish this up before the new year (MST) that would be wonderful, but if we can't, I'll fill a few spaces.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Oh no, :rolleyes: I should have done it right when I got it; now I completely forgot about it. And there is so many other things which I should do as well... if it can wait, it will be great. If not, you can just as well remove me from the list.

(And don't even tell me - I am the one who is modding this Paper Telephone, waiting for people to post what they should for weeks...)

[Thinlómien]

Oh no, :rolleyes: I should have done it right when I got it; now I completely forgot about it. And there is so many other things which I should do as well... if it can wait, it will be great. If not, you can just as well remove me from the list.Sounds familiar... :rolleyes: I'll try to do it today, but if I don't have time, I'm afraid it will have to wait a rather long time... :(

[Thinlómien]

Done. :)

[Laurinquë]

How's this going? I am looking forward to seeing my panel 'in print'.

I know I'm being a bit of an inquisitive hobbit here, but when do you think this will be done by Oddwen?

[Oddwen]

Well, I've highlighted the persons in the list above who have sent in their panels and there's one other person who said they were drawing theirs, but...

I shall likely send reminder PMs this afternoon, and finish it up Monday if I must.

[Aganzir]

I just came online with a plan to draw mine today.
Sorry it's taken me so long, first I just didn't have time and then I forgot about it.

[Oddwen]

I'm giving you three (*glare*) until the ninth to finish up, just to give it an even month. Yes, even the one of you with a full PM box.

:D

[Volo]

Yes, even the one of you with a full PM box.


Hsss... Nassty found uss! But what iss thiss, iss nassty beigh nice to uss?

I'll see what I can do today, now that I'm back.

[Oddwen]

Okey dokey, only one person to go.

TGEW, are you still having computer/scanner problems, and if so will you be able to get your picture in?

[Oddwen]

One more day to go - I'm going to offer the remaining spot to someone if they want it. First one to PM me gets to draw it. Step right up! Step right up!

If not, I'll do it meself. No biggie.

[Oddwen]

Alrighty, here we go!

The sentence I sent out...was different for each person. They all interconnect to make a horrible poem. A poem which you are about to read:

Thank you all for playing this round! I hope this wasn't too offensive, and was coherent enough.

Drawings in order of appearance:

Aganzir, Legate of Amon Lanc, Nogrod
Thinlomien, THE Ka, Gwathagor,
Oddwen, Volo, Hookbill the Goomba
Oddwen, The Might, Laurinque

Sorry you couldn't make it, Greaty. Better luck with your scanner next time!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

An excellent comic, I say! Well done Oddy and everyone else involved. Laurinque's picture was quite good, I thought. Aganzir went above and beyond once again! Well done! :)

[Thinlómien]

Funny. :D I must say Hookbill's picture amused me the most. :D Thanks for modding, Oddie!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Actually, I really liked Gwath's pic, and then I also liked P&A on Miggy and Laurinquë's ones. But great work, actually, everybody :) And thanks, Oddie. :)

[Aganzir]

Haha Nog's Sam amuses me rather much. He looks like a woman. :D Also, all the Oliphaunts are terribly funny, especially Gwath's. Hookbill's pic made me laugh.

Good work everyone, and thanks Oddie. :)

[Gwathagor]

I should clarify - my oliphaunt is smoking marijuana.

[Laurinquë]

Actually, I really liked Gwath's pic, and then I also liked P&A on Miggy and Laurinquë's ones. But great work, actually, everybody :) And thanks, Oddie. :)

Laurinque's picture was quite good, I thought.

Thanks! I don't often draw things so I didn't know how it would come out. But I had to put Alien in it.


I thought that this round was amazing. Coherency has benefits...compehension! As for yours Gwathagor, I thought the opposable thumbs part was hilarious. Wouldn't have been complete without it. Oh, and I found The Ka's quite clever indeed, Hookbill's too, but isn't it always?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I enjoyed playing this game (even though, last time I was very bad, because I did not send in a picture). Why don't we start it up again! Anybody want to?

[Thinlómien]

I could.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I could.
Brilliant! That's two.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Brilliant! That's two.

*Throws the pistols onto the table*

Three!

[Oddwen]

And I'm five!



er....



I mean four.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I'll throw my name into the jumble. :)

[Eönwë]

Ok. I will join. Sounds fun.

[Laurinquë]

You modding this one TGEW? Good job. You can enter me into the madness as well.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

You modding this one TGEW? Good job. You can enter me into the madness as well.
I think I could. I wouldn't make a very good mod though. But, I'll have a go anyway. Me being the mod will make the game slower, since I don't get on the computer everyday, sometimes I don't get on the computer more than twice a week. (horrors, I know)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Okay, here's who signed up for this game-
Thinlómien
Legate of Amon Lanc
Oddwen
Hookbill the Goomba
Eönwë
Laurinquë

That's six, not including myself. In two days I will start. I'm just waiting to see if anyone else signs up in that time.

That means, if you do not sign up in that time, don't say I didn't warn you.

[Nogrod]

I'm just waiting to see if anyone else signs up in that time.If there is room, I might join as well... I have some busy days ahead but could fill my part in a week (from this moment on) or so.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

If there is room, I might join as well... I have some busy days ahead but could fill my part in a week (from this moment on) or so.
There's room. And even if there wasn't, we could always make room.

So the list:

Thinlómien
Legate of Amon Lanc
Oddwen
Hookbill the Goomba
Eönwë
Laurinquë
Nogrod

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Oh, I have a question- aimed at Hookbill and Oddwen since they have modded this thread before.

Do I have to send different sentences to each person, or can I mod the more simplified version?

[Nogrod]

Do I have to send different sentences to each person, or can I mod the more simplified version?I think it's up to you to choose as a mod... :)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I think it's up to you to choose as a mod... :)
Oh, good. I didn't really want to send out seven different sentences. It would take a lot of time and effort. Not to sound lazy, but it's not in my agenda to make multiple sentences and phrases to send out to people so that I can get seven pictures in return and put them all together and try to make some sense of it all. It would take a lot of time, which is a commodity that I could have more of. Maybe next time we'll go with the more complicated version, when I'm more experienced, that is.;)

[Laurinquë]

I finally sent it! What an ordeal THAT was! I thought I was going to have to use someone else's scanner because mine was out of ink and refusing to do anything because of that. :rolleyes:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Thanks, Lauri!
How about Eönwë, Oddwen, and Nogrod? You guys going to send in a picture soon? Would doing it before next week be doable?

[Oddwen]

Argh! Yes. What size do you want it to be?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Argh! Yes. What size do you want it to be?Um.. 200 x 200. That's what it's supposed to be, and everybody else's is that size.

[Eönwë]

Thanks, Lauri!
How about Eönwë, Oddwen, and Nogrod? You guys going to send in a picture soon? Would doing it before next week be doable?

Wait, do you start your weeks on Sunday or Monday?

Anyway, I'll definitely have sent it by tomorrow.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Sunday. The week starts on Sunday.

Good. I'm glad that this round is going swiftly!

[Nogrod]

Sorry about being late guys (even this is the first day in a few weeks I've time to hang around in the 'Downs).

But I was waiting for a PM with instructions and am a bit baffled right now.

So one just draws whatever comes to mind? Eh? :smokin:

EDIT: Okay, now this has been worked out. Thank goodness.

[Eönwë]

So how's it going?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

So how's it going?
Well, Nog needs to get his picture in to me and then I'll put them all together and the game will end, and we can all see the result!

[Nogrod]

Well, Nog needs to get his picture in to me and then I'll put them all together and the game will end, and we can all see the result!I'll try to get it done today... Sorry for lagging behind...

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I'll try to get it done today... Sorry for lagging behind...No, it's okay. I can't get the pictures together until I get back to my home computer anyway, because that's where Lauri's picture is, unless she wants to send it to me again. Then everything will come together more quickly.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Tom Bombadil Goes To Hobbiton.

659

From left to right-Laurinquë, Thinlómien, Eönwë, Nogrod, Hookbill the Goomba, Oddwen, and Legate of Amon Lanc.

P.S. I can't figure out how to make it show up directly in my post. Sorry.

[Thinlómien]

That was quite amusing. :D

P.S. I think so too. :) - Legate

[Hookbill the Goomba]

That was fun!

I think for the next one we should make the panels BIGGER!! I'll run it if no one else wants it. Anyone up for another?


P.S. I can't figure out how to make it show up directly in my post. Sorry.

Try using tinypic. Upload it there and copy the IMG code. :p

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

[Hookbill the Goomba]

You don't have to make an account on Tinypic (http://www.tinypic.com).

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

You don't have to make an account on Tinypic (http://www.tinypic.com).Oooh. I didn't know that. . . obviously.

Going back on topic, I'll sign up for next game if you're modding it, Hookbill. How big do you want to make the pics for this round?

[Eönwë]

Anyone up for another?

Sign me up! :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Bigger pics this round. 500X500 pixels. :)

The current culprits.

Any more?

[Oddwen]

I confess! I've done it, yes, I've done it, and I'm glad! Glad I tell you! And what's more I'd do it again! You'll never take me aliiiiiiiive!

[Eönwë]

What have we done this time?

Not you- Hookbill!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Does anyone else want to join the madness?

[Thinlómien]

Could we try it the way that everybody would be given a different sentence that form a story together so that we get like a comic strip with each box drawn by a different artist? I think it sort of makes sense more than the current system, and if I recall correctly, we even did something like that before. (And it shouldn't become too uncrazy if the sentences are relatively vague.;))

Well yes, that was the last but one we had. It was still slightly crazy, and maybe even less coherent than this one, but :D Fine with me.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

The only reason that we didn't do it last time is because I didn't think I could handle it..:o

[Thinlómien]

The only reason that we didn't do it last time is because I didn't think I could handle it..:oHey, it shouldn't be that difficult. :D Anyway, count me in for the next round, Hookey. :)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Can we do it with five people, Hookbill?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

And with me, for that matter.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Hookbill? Were we going to do this?

[Blind Guardian]

What was going on?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

What was going on?
Well, we had people signed up for the next game, enough people to play, I thought. The current mod (Hookbill) would have been the one to actually start it though. I'm not sure if he's up to it at the moment because he is also modding Paper Telephone, but that's just speculation. I was posting because I wanted to remind people of this thread. The Comic Amalgamation Station is a fun game, I don't want it to go into the depths of oblivion. :(

[Blind Guardian]

Yet another game for me to try!! And get my butt kicked at...If you restart remind me.Also your last post was 10/31/09 :D

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Erm. Well, it's not a competition. If you would look through the thread, you'd see how the game was played. :) It's easier than trying to explain it. There's a sentence and people draw pictures for the mod to put together in a comic strip kind of way. It is an amalgamation of comics. . . I'm sure that explained a lot.
So it's not competitive, but a lot of fun. It's really amusing at the end. The results never fail to create a laugh!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Yeah, sorry. I'd completely forgotten about this game. I don't have a lot of time to get down to it, so I'm going to open it out to anyone who wants to mod. I could do a picture for the game, but I'm not up to modding. :(

[Blind Guardian]

Funny but it made no sense. As you went on did you somehow give meaning to it all??

So it goes something like this:
everyone draws a picutre
we send the pictures to the mod
the mod then puts the pictures in some order and posts them
we do this on Paint? Or some other Mac program since Paint isn't on Mac


Can I sign up??

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Hookbill, I can mod again. :) It would be my pleasure. Funny but it made no sense. As you went on did you somehow give meaning to it all??

One thing I forgot to mention is the mod sends you a sentence or phrase that you must draw a picture of. If you look back to the first post all of the particulars are there.

Ah, I see. Well, whatever floats your boat. :) I'm sure the outcome will be entertaining.

EDIT: My plan for the next couple of days is to make sure that everybody who signed up will play. I know that Blind Guardian and Hookbill will send in pictures, I've already got conformation. So I just need to make sure that everybody else will play. It was such a long time ago that we all signed up.

Anyway, back on topic. We'll start. . . sometime.:p

[Eönwë]

Well, if I'm allowed to send in my picture after the 19th, I'm in.

You know what's hilarious? Even after two years of intense pleading and bringing-back-to-life threats over the teapot avvie I didn't even notice that you had changed it back until Lottie pointed it out. But I like it. Makes you look like you might have something important to say! :D

Anyway, I'm glad you have this thread back up and running TGEW, especially as we have all the cool people joining it. ;)

[Oddwen]

Yeah, I'm good to go for another round, as long as I can get my piccy in before the twentieth.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Yeah, I'm good to go for another round, as long as I can get my piccy in before the twentieth.
Okay! I think that I'll write up the sentences and send them out tomorrow. Do we want to have multiple sentences, one to each player to make it more complicated?
Also, should we Hookbill's idea and go for a 500x500 picture?

I meant shrinking it. Hey, since I'm using a Mac...*opens program* It doesn't send...Well...now what? damn. There's no paint program that sends...? And I can't take a picture of it cause this computer has no USB port. Power Point will have to suffice. At least it has shapes. I wonder if you'll be able to open the PP thing. No, wait i'll be posting it. Okay, might come out weird, but whatever!

For this game you don't post your picture, you PM it. I'm not a Mac user so I wouldn't know if it has Paint or a similar program or not. But you can draw it and scan it in if you have a scanner. You'll email it to me. When I send out the sentence I'll give you instructions on how it's done.

Eönwë and The Flower of Iris, I would much appreciate your contributions.

Each player had a different sentence this time, which made it, well, weird. And, some of the pictures were a bit problematic, but oh well.

From left to right: Oddwen, Loslote, Legate of Amon Lanc, Eönwë, Blind Guardian, Hookbill the Goomba, Laurinquë, and The Flower of Iris.

Now for sentences:
Oddwen: Trouble at Minas Tirith.
Loslote: The battle at Pelennor goes wrong.
Legate of Amon Lanc: Corsairs cometh to Gondor.
Eönwë: Aragorn's first days as king.
Blind Guardian: Shelob has problems with Gondorians.
Hookbill the Goomba: Tea shipments ceased coming to Mordor.
Laurinquë: Barad-Dur crumbles.
The Flower of Iris: Witch King returns.

Eönwë - Yours is falling off the chair, out the door, and into the well hilarious. I like the stick figure.

This generally makes no sense in the slightest, but hey! It was fun! Do you think there could be some way of enlarging the image TGEW? That way everyone can see the witty things I wrote on the Barad-Dûr Crumble box. :p

Ooh, lovely! Eonwe and Oddwen, yours had me laughing sooo hard...:p Everyone's was awesome, and totally silly combined. :D

[Blind Guardian]

Cool. :P Mines aweful! Though I can't tell you which one I like most. :p

Yours isn't awful.
Nobody's drawing is awful. Some people just have more experience than others. ;)

Personally, my favourite is Oddwen's. It just made me laugh.

[Blind Guardian]

I was just limited. I would have drawn but I don't have an SD port, nor do I have paint -_-

That's perfectly all right. You certainly don't have to worry about anything. I thought that your picture was funny anyway. :D
