It is kind of like that game where you write 2 lines of a story and pass it on and the next person has to continue the story, but only see the last line.

Hookbill the Goomba 09-23-2006 01:00 AM

Okay, with Firefoot playing again (being the first one to ask :p ) we now have enough to start another game! *Cheers*

Each Drawer will have three days to... erm... draw and the Writers will have two days to... you know... write...

So, as a guideline: I've put some estimated finish dates for each Player.

- Hookbill (Write) 23rd Sept
- JennyHallu (Draw) 26th Sept
- Orominuialwen (Write) 28th Sept
- The Ka (Draw) 1st Oct
- Rune (Write) 4th Oct *Woo! My Birthday!*
- elronds_daughter (Draw) 6th Oct
- mormegil (Write) 9th Oct
- Firefoot (Draw) 12th Oct

If you are going to be away then, let me know and I'll try and replace you

wilwarin538 09-24-2006 11:15 AM

That was really funny, great idea Hooky! :D

Hookbill the Goomba 09-27-2006 03:21 AM

JennyHallu did not reply, so I've asked Durelin to draw. There will be a slight delay now. :)

JennyHallu 09-27-2006 07:21 AM

I'm sorry! I've sent one, don't know what you'll do with it now...I thought I had through Tuesday and not until Tuesday. So sorry!!!

Hookbill the Goomba 09-27-2006 08:40 AM

I've just recived your pic and I think it's quite funny. Since you were only a little late, I'm going to go ahead with it. Sorry, Durelin, not just yet! :o

Hookbill the Goomba 10-01-2006 11:52 AM

Is The Ka away or something?

She's yet to reply to any PMs or even send the picture she was supposed to draw...

If there is still no picture I'll have to hand it over to one of the stand by people.

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-01-2006 04:26 PM

She told me she was working on it, 2 days ago i think. . .

THE Ka 10-01-2006 07:11 PM

Sorry!

I sent it today, around 2 pm (PST). I hope it was okay, and that my email explained everything. Sorry again.

Hookbill the Goomba 10-02-2006 09:13 AM

Ka, your picture was magnificent. Truly. :)

Rune replied very quickly and now we await Elronds_Daughter to draw a lovely picture.

Hookbill the Goomba 10-06-2006 12:44 AM

*Ring Ring*
 
Hello there, Downers and all! Another Paper Telephone is complete! Lets take a look, shall we?

Players

- Hookbill (Write)
- JennyHallu (Draw)
- Orominuialwen (Write)
- The Ka (Draw)
- Rune (Write)
- elronds_daughter (Draw)
- mormegil (Write)
- Firefoot (Draw)

We began this time with an interesting sentence:

“It was the First time Gandalf saw a Hobbit.”

JennyHallu drew this wonderful thing to start us on the road to adventure…

Orominuialwen look at it and thought that it looked like:

“Gandalf, who has recently been decapitated, makes a shocked remark involving teacups which causes Bilbo to tell a long, rambling and slightly annoyed story about them and how annoying Gandalf is.”

The Ka went above and beyond the call of duty with this magnificent Turner prize worthy masterpiece!

Rune told us that it was, quite defiantly;

“Bilbo kills Gandalf with the power of thought alone and uses his head as a quite fancy teapot”

Elrond’s Daughter had a bit of a think and then drew something that looked exactly like this:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...Game02Pic3.jpg

Mormegil wrote a lovely little sentence for us…

Frodo Baggins meditates while levitating over a fallen comrade dressed in a black robe but his meditations make him think of a Muslim man.

Firefoot had the last word on the subject, drawing this magnificent thing of good!

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...Game02Pic4.jpg

Anyone up for another? :D

THE Ka 10-06-2006 07:28 AM

I'm glad that someone noticed his head was a tea cozy... I was a bit worried about that.

I sound so morbid... But, I feel so acomplished. :)


Anyways, that was wonderful. I'm going to see if I can join the next one, I have to confront my schedule first though.

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-06-2006 07:57 AM

The fun thing was that I saw this after sending in the text

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...riphandler.gif

Rikae 10-06-2006 11:41 AM

That was great! The tea cozy had me in...stitches. :D Can I play again, pleeeeeze, Mr. Goomba?

Yes!
I've decided to take a longer road for the next Paper Telephone. This time, each player will write AND draw. We will go through the list twice and so everyone can do one and the other. It will mean a longer waiting time, yes, but all the better results are to be expected. :D

Players:

- The Ka (?)
- Rikae

JennyHallu 10-06-2006 11:55 AM

Oh I'll do it again. Hopefully this time I'll have the time to do the drawing by hand.

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-06-2006 04:15 PM

If there are no newcomers that want to sign up, then count me in.

elronds_daughter 10-07-2006 11:57 AM

I'm game for it again as well. Might I try my hand at sentancing rather than drawing? I fear my artistic skills are no wondrous thing to behold...

Glirdan 10-07-2006 12:35 PM

Hmmm, I think I'd like to try a stab at this. Sign me up. :D

Hookbill the Goomba 10-07-2006 01:19 PM

We need one more player for another P-T game! Sign up today and get an ice-cream flavored ice-cream.

Players:

- The Ka (?)
- Rikae
- JennyHallu
- Rune
- elronds_daughter
- Glirdan

THE Ka 10-07-2006 02:48 PM

Looked into matters with the monster of the schedule, and I'll have time to play another game.

This one will be fun, I wouldn't mind crafting a sentence as well this time. :)


~ Ka

Hookbill the Goomba 10-08-2006 04:05 AM

We still need one more player! :eek:
Here is how the order looks so far...

Write - Hookbill

Write - Glirdan
Draw - ???

Write - The Ka
Draw - Rikae

Any takers?

Holbytlass 10-08-2006 05:18 AM

I'll take

Hookbill the Goomba 10-08-2006 05:24 AM

Okay then! :D
We're ready for the start of another whirlwind adventure in the realms of Paper Telephone!
When writing you will have 2 days to PM me your work.
When Drawing you will have 3 days to finish!

Here is the order:
Write - Hookbill
Draw - The Ka
Write - Rikae
Draw - JennyHallu
Write - Rune
Draw - elronds_daughter
Write - Glirdan
Draw - Holbytlass

Write - The Ka
Draw - Rikae
Write - JennyHallu
Draw - Rune
Write - elronds_daughter
Draw - Glirdan
Write - Holbytlass

Let's get to it! :)

Hookbill the Goomba 11-07-2006 03:30 PM

It is done!

For Game Three we began with this sentence:

“Aragorn and Elrond decided it was time to get rid of Arwen.”

The Ka had a brain wave and drew this:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ame03Pic01.jpg

Rikae had a bit of a think and then told me it looked like:

“Galadriel's theme park will compete with Arwen's, so Arwen plots to decapitate her”

JennyHallu decided that the best thing would be to draw this lovely thing:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ame03Pic02.jpg

Rune did a dance and then told me that it looked like:

A buisness venture let to eternal rivalry between Arwen and Galadriel

elronds_daughter took to the skies… Then returned to draw this thing:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ame03pic03.jpg

Glirdan had the task of writing a sentence… so he did:

Arwen and Eowyn had a lemonade selling competition for Aragorn's love and Eowyn was winning.

Aragorn made a surprise return as Holbytlass finished off the first half with a lovely piece:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ame03Pic04.jpg

So, part two began with Ka telling us that:

Aragorn was in a state of utter confusion and love entaglement; was he to follow his heart and arwen's lack of business savy or, his pocketbook and eowyn's survivalistic greed?
Rikae took up the pen and drew some good stuff:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ame03Pic05.jpg

JennyHallu couldn’t believe it was her turn again!

Aragorn watches Eowyn and Arwen vying for his love in a contest of fundraising

Rune took one look at that sentence and decided to draw this:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ame03Pic06.jpg

elronds_daughter

"Arwen and Galadriel engage in the weight-lifting portion of Middle Earth Batchelorette."

Glirdan hopped into action to draw this:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ame03Pic07.jpg

And therefore, to finish off, Holbytlass said:

“Galadriel and Arwen get some bonding time working out at the Nudist Colony Gym”

Well, that was good, wasn’t it?

Rikae 11-07-2006 04:55 PM

That was great! Funny how Arwen became Galadriel and then Arwen again while Elrond became Arwen who became Eowyn who became Galadriel... or something like that, it's much too complicated for me. :D

Firefoot 11-07-2006 05:24 PM

Great job, all. :)

Is there going to be another one?

Glirdan 11-07-2006 07:48 PM

Oh my Holby!! I know I'm a terrible drawer, but a Nudist Colony!? :eek: :D That was fun!! We must do that again and I would absolutely LOVE to be in it again!

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-07-2006 07:58 PM

I would have put more efford into my drawing, but I was in lack of time. . .Not that I suspect it would have been much better.

Good work everyone, it was lots of fun.

High King Fingolfin 11-07-2006 09:34 PM

I'd like to try, is it possible for me to only write?

THE Ka 11-07-2006 09:52 PM

The ending had me laughing in tears, seriously. It's simply beautiful how awry that went. :D

Ah, well, I think I wouldn't mind another one Hookbill, if another of these wonderful telephone games is being held.

Thank you everyone, that was genius.


~ Ka

Hookbill the Goomba 11-08-2006 02:58 AM

Holbytlass has offered to host the next one. So, yes there will be another one. We'll have to see if it will be a long one or a short one this time.
But the players so far for game 4 (Those who have said they want to be in it again)

Glirdan
High King Fingolfin
THE Ka

Holbytlass 11-08-2006 05:11 AM

I would like to host the next one. I'm not sure about mine and my computer capabilities so I would like to keep this try small so with the players so far I'd just like 1 or 2 more please. Also, it will be straight forward so state if you'd rather write or draw.

Glirdan
High King Fingolfin(write)
THE Ka

Hookbill the Goomba 11-08-2006 05:17 AM

I'd like to see what it's like on the other side. I'd like to do some drawing! :D

Firefoot 11-08-2006 06:33 AM

Sign me up too; I suppose I'll write, but if it's needed I can draw instead.

elronds_daughter 11-08-2006 06:32 PM

I'll do it again. Apologies for changing Gladriel to Eowyn. 'Tis what I get for doing things from memory......

The Barrow-Wight 11-08-2006 10:04 PM

Honestly, Arwen's expression at the lemonade stand almost made me choke. Funny stuff!

mormegil 11-08-2006 10:24 PM

I will write as the simplest of stick figures is beyond my skill level.

Erue 11-08-2006 10:46 PM

Hilarious read ladies and gentlemen - laughed 'till I cried.
Do it again! :D

Holbytlass 11-09-2006 05:46 AM

Glirdan(draw)
High King Fingolfin(write)
Hookbill(draw)
Firefoot(write)
Elrondsdaughter(draw)
Mormegil(write)
THE Ka(draw)

This is the tentative line-up, I need one more person to write.

I love the different styles used! Rikae,your's is stunning, how long did it take?
Rune's reminds me of the (I forget what they're called) those long contraptions with hens laying eggs and mice running on wheels to do a simple action. Sorry, Glirdan, but you didn't put the stickwomen triangle dresses on them ;)!
