Great one! I especially liked Legate's drawing of Ghan-buri-ghan, and the Bombur reply from Hookbill...
Interesting though how Bombur afterwards became a naked Hobbit
Also great idea Damrod with the Nazgul in the background
Spawn's really is great

Oddwen · 03-08-2007, 10:34 AM

You are all brilliant.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 03-08-2007, 11:39 AM

Funny how a small party of three grew into a full-blown rave.

Absolutely great drawings and sentences, everyone. The small details there are wonderful, and Lommy's Gollum and Holby's Bombur actually made me laugh out loud.

I think I'm developing an addiction to this... so yes, I'd like to join the next round. Also, thanks for your comments, guys. I downloaded GIMP a while ago so I thought to try coloring a pic with it.

And thanks to Firefoot, our phone operator.

that's because I'm an idiot and thought it said Boromir!! Hence, the shield in his hand!!

That was absolutely brilliant! Well, done all. Except for Hookbill

and that hideously long sentence!!

The Might · 03-08-2007, 01:09 PM

Know I realize what it's supposed to me
I first thought it's Saruman's hand on a plate or something...

THE Ka · 03-09-2007, 05:32 PM

Gollum looks awesome in Lommy's... I love it

All of them are awesome and I like how somehow it ended up as a case of disco fever...

If there is room, may I join the next paper telephone?
Thank you!

That was excellent!

and Nimrodel's (good observation with the hair, I was first wondering where did you get it)

Ohh, so that's Sam with a hand shovel and shears.... they looked like scissors and a mirror to me!

I love your pic, Spawn!

I'd like to write in the next round if there's room. Let someone else have a turn before me, though.

Volo · 03-11-2007, 05:35 AM

Haha!

Especially liked all of it!

If it's possible I'll go for the next round. And now that I have had the role of being nasty, I could be in the drawing role next.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-11-2007, 07:02 AM

I'll play again, if that's okay!

Although, if I have to write a sentence again, I'll make sure it's not so long...

@ Holby.

The Might · 03-11-2007, 07:33 AM

I'd also like to take part in the next one.

Firefoot · 03-11-2007, 11:41 AM

I'm considering sitting this round out - is there someone who would like to moderate next? Otherwise, I'd be available to do it.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-11-2007, 11:44 AM

I can mod once again if no one else wants to.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-11-2007, 12:00 PM

If you take it, Hookbill (or anyone else), if the persons who wanted to sign up are not already too many, I'd like to sign up as well.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-01-2007, 01:50 AM

Another call, anyone?

This really was a good one this time.

Lord Melkor · 04-01-2007, 03:47 AM

Count me in for another round and I'm offering my services as an artist too!

Volo · 04-01-2007, 04:37 AM

I'm fine with any of the three roles.

The Might · 04-01-2007, 09:25 AM

LOL...
No bad intention, it's just the wizard definitely didn't look much like Saruman as I would have thought of him, and the pan mad it seem obvious to me

Why not? What's wrong with "Frier Tuck goes wizard"? After all, it's the staff that makes a wizard.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-03-2007, 10:41 AM

Note to players:

Could we please keep our descriptions down in length from now on? I realise that it can be fun to write longer ones, but often, short is best.

Keep it to two lines, if you can. Thanks.

Holby: I know I'm a hypocrite for this.

Volo · 04-03-2007, 10:51 AM

...and for the same reason it's better not too add too many details to your pictures either.

As far as pictures go, detail is fun, I think. I'd just remind writers to pick the funniest and most prevalent things.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-06-2007, 05:02 AM

Nimrodel_9 seems to have disappeared. Anyone know where to and if we should move on?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 04-06-2007, 08:05 AM

I don't have an answer to the above, just wanted to announce that I won't be around on Saturday and Sunday, so if somehow the line goes to me, you might skip (rather switch) me. Just to let you know, if anything happened. Or, if the line moves to me, if you could wait for me till Monday, it would be ok. But probably it wouldn't even come to that.

I know nothing! You can't make me say anything! Damn you sir, damn you and your accusations!
