I'll send the starting sentence on Monday.
There's still room for players. We need one more player in order to make it even, but there's no problem with having three, five, seven or nine or eleven - ok, tell me if I'm getting megalomaniac

- more players to join. To be realistic, though, I'd prefer to have one or three players added to the current number - with something like 20 players this would never end. (I'm not sure if that's necessarily a bad thing, though.

Not for you, at least.

Could you shuffle the lists like Hookbill in the preveous game, please?

I'm not sure if it's smart, unless it's necessary like in Hookbill's latest. It will make the time between different people's two turns very uneven and thus some pople will be more and some less aware what's happened recently when their next turn comes. Do I make sense?

You do to me, but I for one don't see that as an obsticle. What do you others think?

Aganzir · 01-28-2008, 05:43 AM

I agree with Lommy.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-28-2008, 06:04 AM

Well, I think with so many people as we have now, it does not matter whether there are twelve or ten people between your two turns. Depends on whether you think it's better or worse if you are still between the same people.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-17-2008, 09:45 AM

Folwren, I hope you realise that we're all now expecting your picture to be a masterpiece to rival the Sistine Chapel II.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-20-2008, 02:05 AM

I've sent my picture in. Had to do it quick because I knew I'd be away for most of today, but I think it's okay.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-27-2008, 10:06 AM

Nogrod must be writing a novel!

I REALLY want to see what turned the sentence I sent into the sentence I received... I also wonder what is going to happen next...

Since we're getting close to the end o' this Paper Telephone, I think I'll say I'll mod the next one, unless someone else fancies it. Just remember to clear your diary for the next month or so.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-30-2008, 09:29 AM

I think that, in the future, we should think of the writing more in terms of a caption than a long description. Rather than telling us what the picture looks like, instead let us know what 'should' be going on.

Give us a sense of the general concept; lengthy descriptions rarely turn up the weird and wonderful we all love.

If nothing else, we should probably put a two sentence limit on Nogrod.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-10-2008, 08:11 AM

Ooh! We're already up to Volo, I notice!

Anyone wish to sign up for the next game while we wait for this one to come in?

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-01-2008, 02:50 PM

I've sent my sentence mere minutes after receiving it. You see, I'm not like these other people who have the preposterous idea of having a 'life'.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-01-2008, 02:57 PM

Having a life? Then you obviously don't know how long I was thinking about this and how long it took me to draw it...

Yep, what you do instead is writing totally crazy sentences that are impossible to draw.

Sorry Lommy, it'll still take me a day or two. I'd be quicker if it wasn't for all the exams.
