...No words at the moment. Maybe when I'm back on this evening my brain will be un-broken by the awesome.

wilwarin538 09-27-2010 12:09 PM

I think this might be the best one ever. *needs time to process*

Thinlómien 09-27-2010 12:17 PM

Oh my... :D

That did change a lot, didn't it?


PS. Hooky dear, the picture you have attributed to The Might looks suspiciously like it was drawn by Nogrod and he's also on the list in that slot... ;)

Agh! Fixed! :)

Legate of Amon Lanc 09-27-2010 01:38 PM

Ab-so-lu-te-ly BRILLIANT.

Absolutely brilliant.

Rune Son of Bjarne 09-27-2010 01:46 PM

I was really rather fond of the pictures drawn by Laurinque and Greenie. . . also the sentence of The Might was to my liking.

Diamond18 09-27-2010 03:21 PM

Jolly good show. :smokin:

I do believe that Aganzir's and Laurenique's drawings were my favorites!

Let me know when you are starting another round as I'll take a spot.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 09-27-2010 03:54 PM

Indeed when the next game comes around I'm totally ready for another round!

As for this PT... I'm not quite sure what to say yet. :D

Loslote 09-27-2010 07:05 PM

I quake before the essense of awesome that is this PT.

Also, I'm totally up for another round. :D

Blind Guardian 09-27-2010 09:42 PM

*dies of laughter*

Can I try?

Oddwen 09-27-2010 10:17 PM

Awesome! Amazing! Astounding! Other alliterative interjections!

I too would like to sign up for the next round. :D

This was great, just great. Might indeed be the best one ever, though I do wish that the owls had lasted longer. ;)

And I have to admit, I'm in love with Pitchie and Greenie's drawings, not to speak of Eönwë and Oddwen's sentences! :D

What? Of course I want to sign up for the next round! What kind of question is that?

Best ever?

Hard to say, indeed there where a few moments of brilliance in this one and it was a good game of PT, but I think there have been other more to my liking. I thought the length was spot on though. . . I tend to loose focus when they are too long also I find it annoying when you have to wait half a year for it to be done with.

Maybe I would have liked it a bit better if had gotten to make a sentence. . .that is what I take great pride and joy in doing. (drawing is not my strong side)

I thought that Eonwe's sentence was funny, but too detailed to be truly hilarious.

Hookbill the Goomba 09-28-2010 05:37 AM

Rune's critical analysis of this PT amused me. ;)

Okay, so here's the list of those who have signed up so far...

Lommy
TheGreatElvenWarrior
Oddwen
A Little Green
Laurinquë
Blind Guardian
Legate

Anyone else? :p

TheGreatElvenWarrior 09-28-2010 10:16 AM

Obviously, Lauri's contributions to this Paper Telephone were the best. They are quite discussion worthy.

THE BUTTER MAN!!! :D

A Little Green 09-28-2010 12:50 PM

I'm signing up for the next one, of course. Thanks guys for making my evening! I especially loved the Who-owls, Freud turning into Gandalf, and celery and broccoli. Not to mention Nog's Saruman. :D

Thinlómien 09-28-2010 12:56 PM

Signing up too but I'd prefer not to be placed next to Greenie (or Agan or Nogrod or Legate) because I think I always end up being either before or after them (or very often, between some two of these four) and although I love them all, I know them a bit too well and besides change would be refreshing. ;)

PS. Hookbill, I did enjoy Rune's criticism. :p I think this one was marvellous but it had too much un-tolkieny stuff...

Legate of Amon Lanc 09-28-2010 12:59 PM

I think it's almost counted as a sign-up if I post on this thread with some comment, of course I would like to joing the upcoming one :)

Although if there were really lots of people who wanted to participate, and there wasn't enough space, I could give them my place - 'really don't mind, if I sit this one out...

Your wish is Richard E Granted. :cool:

TheGreatElvenWarrior 09-28-2010 01:26 PM

Hookbill, are you modding this next round as well? :)

Exactly my thoughts - and Laurinque's drawing & sentence - well the whole snowmonster eating a butterman stuff, including Greenie's hilarious pic, Pitchwife's eye for this stuff, Rune's pic (look at the expression there!)! I mean all of it! :)

I did actually catch a short glimpse of this while giving an exam to the students. They must have wondered what it was with their teacher who started giggling and smiling uncontrollably while supervising the exam and browsing the net in front of them... :D

Which also means: I'm in for the next round!

Pitchwife 09-28-2010 01:35 PM

Revived to some degree, but I still don't know where to begin to heap the praise on everybody. Some intriguing transmutations here, like owls > the Who (I love that one!) > Mac and Rikae > Faramir and Éowyn, who then disappeared for a while, with Faramir mysteriously reappearing later and his brain turning into taters... And I have to say Urwen's picture was a masterpiece of abstract expressionism:D!

Oh, and I'm so totally in for the next round.

Oh, brilliant! Having a mod usually makes the game start faster. ;)

Aganzir 09-28-2010 03:08 PM

Pick me! Pick me!

I would like to second Lommy's wish for not being placed anywhere near the other Finns (they're stupid).

Oddwen 09-28-2010 03:12 PM

Don't forget Diamond!

Well, I'd be willing to set my prejudices aside for a few months and be placed in between a few Finns (hee hee) if need be. For the good of the game, of course.

In that case, I would actually like to be fully considered a Finn and be placed away from Noggins ;) :D

Rune Son of Bjarne 09-28-2010 04:27 PM

I would like to take part if I am allowed to write this time around.

Mnemosyne 09-28-2010 05:52 PM

I'm in.

And completely willing to be Finn-buffer.

Seconding the lass Mnemo. I too would be willing to buff some Finns.

Heeeey! I signed up earlier! *is all ignored*

:p

Adaneth 09-28-2010 07:19 PM

I think I get how this works. Count me in, I don't care if I'm an artist or writer -- but be warned that I don't have a tablet or scanner, so what you will get will be crudely drawn with a mouse. :D

Are you saying that writing is not an art-form?

Hookbill the Goomba 09-29-2010 04:48 AM

So, anyone want to be our final contestant?

Thinlómien 09-29-2010 06:07 AM

Hookbill, you have BG and Pitch drawing after each other and the mystery guest thus drawing twice. Thought you'd like to know. Also, Aganzir didn't want to be next to Nogrod (or any other Finn) so you could make her change places with Lottie or anyone after her on the list. :)

And I should be able to draw my picture today or tomorrow and scan it tomorrow...

Oops! Fixed it now.

Eönwë 09-29-2010 12:38 PM

ME ME ME!

Please?

I'll trade you. I'd rather draw.


Edit: I knew I should have read the rest! Forget this!

wilwarin538 09-30-2010 09:19 AM

Wow this filled up fast, is it too late for me to get in on this?

No but we'll need another person to make the cycle complete. :)
