This sounds like a lot of fun. Count me in!

Count me in to, though all the pics will be done on the computer, so I'm not sure how well that will turn out.

But it sounds like a great idea.

Oh, and a question, will everyone get the chance to make up a sentence and do a picture? Or will we only get to do one?

Thinlómien · 09-07-2006, 05:30 AM

Count me in too.

Precioussss · 09-07-2006, 05:50 AM

I'll play!

Kitanna · 09-07-2006, 06:15 AM

I'd like to play, though the best thing I can ever draw is a stick figure with a top hat.

JennyHallu · 09-07-2006, 06:45 AM

I'm in...where's the Ka? She should be around for this one.

Just one, I'm afraid. But if you don't get to do one you wanted to, then you'll get a special place for the next game.

Players signed up:

1) Hookbill
2) Rikae
3) Firefoot
4) Durelin
5) The 1,000 Reader
6) Oddwen
7) Macalaure
8) wilwarin538
9) Thinlómien
10) Precioussss

Sorry, Kitanna and JennyHallu, you were a little late. However, I'll make sure you are first on the list for the next game.

The Game will start in a few moments when I send the first sentence to Rikae. If everyone is punctual, the first game should be done quickly and we'll all get to see the lovely pictures...

Rikae · 09-07-2006, 01:53 PM

Ok, I've finished my masterpiece.

Durelin · 09-07-2006, 05:16 PM

Quick question, and I thought it best to ask this here than through PM, since it might be of concern to others (maybe...):

Are the pictures allowed/should they be allowed to have any words in them at all? Even labels, names, the like?

I'm assuming probably not, for mere shock/amusement value.

Agreed. It seems rather contrary to the nature of the game to have words included when we are trying to create a sentence from a picture. I did this once at a work meeting (

) and we weren't allowed to put words on the pictures but I guess it's up to Hookbill in this case.

Where do you work? It sounds like a fun place.

I agree, I don't think words should be allowed in the pictures either.

Generally it probably shouldn't be allowed, yes. Unless its a joke and doesn’t give too much away, I'll probably let it slide. For example, you could have a Balrog saying, "I don't have wings!" or something.

1,000 Reader, dont' worry, you'll be writing.
