Excellent!

That was a really excellent round. I was particularly impressed with the palm trees and Radagast's (and Rhosgobel's) frequent visits, despite my best efforts to re-christen him Radicand. This game is insane and never ceases to astound me with all the odd interpretations we get. I help with that of course.... it's the best part. Long live Cauliflower man!

Love your picture Beregond. Aganzir too.

That was fun. It's interesting to see how the telephone developed into the sentence/drawing you were given, and see what it became after answering the call.

Everyone's drawings/sentences were so amusing. I must say Beregond's picture is my favourite. Though I loved Hookbill, Aganzir, and Nogrod's drawings as well. Good work to everyone. It's good to have a laugh and while it was a long wait, it was worth it.

I also noticed that while the drawing is so much more time consuming, it's so much easier to come up with an image than a sentence!

By the way, Nogrod, why is one of the Orcs a Cyclope?

Hehe, great round!

But wait...where was Alien? Phantom appeared, but no Alien! In a paper telephone?

And did I say Minis Ithil? Must have been the painkillers.

I was surprised with the similarities between Nog's pic and mine: the tree on the right, hobbit weapons, Orcs in the background, and pointing Radagasteses (in fact three drawings in a row feature a pointing Radagand!).

Brilliant Cauliflower, wilwarin.

Way to think outside the box, Rune (raising the dead, indeed)!

Everyone's drawings were ace this round, but I especially liked Agan's, Hookbill's, Lauri's and Oddwen's.

Final thoughts: recurring themes, in this and past rounds, seem to be Radagast, ents, and Nazgul.

Maybe its mum drank from the Morgulduin.

Wow, after reading through that again I just understood the Quality Oath-Breakers thing, haha, quite brilliant Rune!

You can count me in to the next round as well!

That was a somewhat brilliant round. Definately one of the funniest ever.

Other than the generally brilliant pieces of artwork, some of the more specific highlights of pictures and sentence for me were Nogrod's tree, Laurinquë's Vitruvian Bombur and Aganzir's, Greenie's and Rune's sentences, but to name a few.
