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

Nogrod 06-28-2013 01:06 PM

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 06-28-2013 03:47 PM

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

Aganzir 06-28-2013 04:11 PM

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 06-28-2013 06:00 PM

Yay! :D

Aganzir 07-01-2013 06:46 AM

So it begins

The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a MCRmyGirl4eva:

Thank you everyone!

Hookbill the Goomba 07-01-2013 08:04 AM

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 07-01-2013 09:56 PM

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 07-02-2013 09:15 AM

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...

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 07-03-2013 02:52 AM

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 07-08-2013 09:09 AM

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 07-08-2013 11:56 AM

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 07-08-2013 09:42 PM

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

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

Kitanna 07-09-2013 06:32 AM

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 07-09-2013 08:03 AM

Count me in for next time, too! :D

Aganzir 07-13-2013 05:16 AM

So, who's modding?

Gil-Galad 08-03-2013 10:19 AM

I am totally down for some more Paper Telephone.

Blind Guardian 08-05-2013 10:02 AM

How hard it is to mod?

Galadriel55 08-05-2013 10:06 AM

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 08-05-2013 03:04 PM

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.

Consider me in as well. And probably Lommy too, I don't have personal confirmation from her, but I am pretty sure once I mention it to her, she'll be up for it as well...

You are considered to be in. :D

A Little Green 08-06-2013 10:37 AM

I'm in too! :)

Nogrod 08-06-2013 11:35 AM

Galadriel55 08-06-2013 06:32 PM

Ye are included even as ye speak! Well, post.

Oddwen 08-07-2013 06:37 PM

Myself as well please!

Galadriel55 08-12-2013 12:16 PM

The last few games were quick singles, and there was a call for doubles, so I guess this one will be a doubles. Please tell me if you don't like your spot so that I can switch you.

Also, please do not take more than 3 days for your turn, so that we can hope to finish before New Years. :p

I'm drawing Round 1? Everyone better watch out for my mad MS paint skills.

Galadriel55 08-12-2013 08:40 PM

Forgot to mention - we'll start before the weekend, so be ready!

Galadriel55 08-25-2013 04:23 PM

MCR, please check your PM box for your picture. :)

Galadriel55 08-27-2013 01:46 PM

Can anybody contact MCR via the Great Book of Faces or something? If she doesn't reply by Thursday, I'm giving Greenie her place.

Aganzir 08-28-2013 02:50 AM

If she's on facebook, she isn't in the Barrow-Downs group, or her username isn't listed.

Galadriel55 08-30-2013 09:28 AM

Moved the list around a bit.

Aganzir 09-25-2013 03:44 PM

How are we doing? Do you need help facebook-poking? :p

We're moving on after a long stall that I blame on the weather. I must assure you that school and school-related mess has nothing to do with it. Thanks for the offer, though! :)

On a second thought... can you poke Lommy for me please? :Merisu:
