Wow! That's something! I was worried it will never come up! Great! Great, great works!

I like how nicely it got twisted Interestingly, it seems that with upcoming Christmas, the Christmas theme leaked into the line, although it wasn't included in the original at all

Some of the descriptions are just hilarious! And the pictures as well (I'd put the later ones under cathegory called "Agh Bourse ishi-krimpatul".)

And I really like Rikae's balrog btw. Great artwork.

Seeing the result was definitely worth waiting for! All the pics look great, and I must say that Damrod's Sauron is irresistibly adorable with all his spikes in disarray.

If there's room for the next round, I'd like to give this another go.

Aw, shucks, Legate! I thought your ent was particularly awesome. Great expression!
This was absolutely hilarious; I don't think I will ever get tired of Silly-Sauron humor.
I'll sit the next one out, since I've probably played in more than my share of these games.

As Legate had mentioned, it is fun how Christmas festivities is a part of it and then at the end, art imitating life, things turn for the worst in the economics department like when we all get our credit card bills in January and realize we went a tad overbudget .

You all outdid yourselves! an extra nod to Elrond's Daughter and Oddwen for adding new ways to illustrate. Brilliant authoring of the captions, I was so pleased and had no idea what would be coming.

Thank you all so much for your patience.


I would like to draw, please.

I sent Fingolfin's sentence out to Damrod three days ago - however, he hasn't even received the pm yet. So...

Damrod, are you out there?

Or is there someone who's watching this that would want to pick up a picture right now?

Otherwise, I guess I could draw something - since it's not a sentence, it doesn't really matter if I know what it came from...

Woohoo! We are almost to the end!

I would draw, but my scanner isn't working at the moment, and I should be next to write.

Proudly presenting...

Paper Telephone 6! After all that, it's finally here!

I started it all off with this sentence:

"Gollum and Ghán-bûri-Ghán were the only ones to show up at Gríma's birthday party."

Legate responded with this picture:

Hookbill then humorously described it as:

"Much as he hated arguments or any kind of unpleasantness, ever-benevolent comedy wizard, Grima Wormtongue had to be forced to endure a birthday party in his honour. To make matters worse, the only people who arrived were Gollum (who, incidentally, thought dead fish a fitting present) and a half naked Bombour (intent on playing musical chairs) who is so hungry he is eating Saruman's hand."

Holby drew us this masterpiece:



Elrond's daughter said that it was:

"A dismayed Gandalf tries desperately to emcee a party, the only attendees of which are a rockin'-out Sméagol and a noticeably undressed blonde hobbit."

So The Might depicted it as:



And Rune described it:

"Gandalf arranged a party so that the hobbits could re-unite with their long lost relative Sméagol."

Lommy gave us this work of art:



And Volo said that it was:

"Sam on his 40th birthday with Gandalf, Merry and Pipping partying happily, Frodo is turned into a Gollum-like creature and Sam is sad that the cake is so small."


Then Spawn drew us this wonderful picture:

And Fingolfin wrote:

“Guests at the magical disco party included Gandalf, Frodo, Pippin, a sad-looking Sam, and a younger Gollum.”

Damrod finally came up with this:


And Nimrodel drew it to a sweeping conclusion with this sentence:

“The disco party was getting more and more wild: Aragorn the DJ was putting Boromir the Disco King's and his back-up dancers' moves to the test, Frodo and Gandalf were about to get in a fist-fight with Gollum cheering them on, and a drunken Pippin was desperately begging for kisses, which seemed to make Merry sad enough to cut his hair.”

Hopefully it was worth the wait!

That was absolutely wonderful!. The only one who stayed through the whole game was Gollum.

I'll be sitting out on the next game, as I've been in them for a while now.
