I should probably visit the Downs more often, and probably also frequent a more diverse selection of threads.

Wow, this was all kinds of awesome:
- Kath's lovely picture, which left me totally clueless what it was supposed to illustrate (although it makes sense!)
- The whole sequence Greenie / Oddwen / Legate (tranformative sentence!) / sally (adorable rabbit!)
- Hui's pic
- Form's visual condensation of a rather complex sentence
- Lommy's William Blake (I wondered where that sentence came from!)
- TGEW's naked hobbit slave (which prompted an amount of full frontal nudity hitherto unknown on these Downs IIRC) and Greenie's picture
- Baranduin's Witch King (btw can we call you Brandy?)
- G55's well-masked weeping angel warding of the Black Breath, and Form's description thereof
Great job, everyone!

If anyone wants to mod another game, I'm absolutely down to playing (preferably doubles).

I would be up for another round.

[Nogrod]

Me too.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I'd be also up for playing. I can also mod, if nobody else felt up to it.

[Galadriel55]

I think at this point it's easier to say when am I not up for playing. I should probably be signed up by default.

I hesitate to mod because of my mild technological incompetence which has hindered past PTs that I tried to run. However, I can also give it another shot and do my share of modding if everyone wants to play.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

What a fun game! I'm up for modding next round if anyone is interested in playing.

Like Galadriel55, I loved Rune's first sentence. I thought that Brin's interpretation of the starting quote was really lovely and succinct and Rune made it (unintentionally) hilarious right at the beginning of the game. Eönwë's picture was really hilarious. I loved all the very specific events on each dish.

Pitch's picture was strange and fun. I had to read over the sentence carefully again when I saw it because goat-Legolas really threw me off my guard. Kath's picture and Greenie's sentence were a good combo, it was fun to see Mr. Tumnus come into the craziness. Huinesoron's picture was absolutely gorgeous, and I love how his picture of Mr. Tumnus, someone known for his umbrella, brought us back to Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, someone else also known for her umbrella. It seems that everybody loves Lobelia, she keeps making appearances during our games, and I really love it!

Rikae's picture made Baranduin and me laugh out loud. I thought it was really funny how Frodo's expression in G55's pic looks so anxious and uncomfortable, it really captures a mood.

Hey, it was the final sentence, I figured I could be ambiguous. And also, I'm sure I don't know what you mean about my sentence being "suitably meta". I play it straight here!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Pitchwife folded the newspaper, looked at his dogs, shook his head and commented:

Even disguised in a yellow jacket, Frodo couldn't deny his kinship with Lobelia.

Galadriel55, who had been just cutting grass near the window and absolutely not dropping any eaves, procured her art supplies and made the following caricature:



Kath found the image stacked amidst a pile of school papers she had been checking. She turned it over, and on the blank side, she scribbled:

Having already stolen the One Ring and Tom Bombadil's jacket, Bilbo started to formulate a plan for stealing his spoons back from Lobelia Sackville Baggins.

Greenie, who had been cleaning the leftover papers, decided to expand on the idea by providing the following drawing:



Huinesoron, having been in such a situation before, remained unfazed, and with scholarly dignity, typed the following:

Mrs Lily Cotton's raid on Lobelia's purloined spoons is widely regarded as the first act of the Hobbit Civil War (Afterlithe - Winterfilth, 1386).

When Lommy saw the encyclopaedia article thus created, her artistic spirit forced her to make a fitting picture to accompany it:

Never forget the uncloaked wizards.

[Pitchwife]

Ah, that was during one of my resurrections...

Sure!
