We still need one more player to draw!! Even if you've already played earlier in the game, it doesn't matter. Anyone want to do a picture?

Thinlómien · 05-22-2008, 08:36 AM

If someone who hasn't taken part in this round wants it, s/he should take it, but if there is such person, I'm willing to take the turn.

I was the second one this round (if you discount Hookbill) so I should have sufficiently little idea what's going on...

I will leave it open until tomorrow. If no one else has put themselves forward by then, I'll PM you the sentence, Lommy, and we can get this monstrosity on the road again.

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-23-2008, 03:02 PM

Okay, Lommy, it looks like you're up!

Haha, alright. I hope I can do it this weekend but I'm slightly busy. You should get it on Monday at the latest...

Thinlómien · 05-26-2008, 09:29 AM

I'm ready now... so only one more person to go and it's ready!

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-28-2008, 03:35 PM

Does anyone know what has happened to The Might? First he can't draw a picture, then he vanishes into the night... If I get no reply from him by the end of tomorrow I'll post up the Telephone call as it stands. It's not fair on the rest of you to make you wait around too long. Although, I will say this P-T would probably have been the most insane EVER if we'd done doubles.

Maybe we should beat him up with a real phone. . .or a carrot! That would teach him. . .something.

The Might · 05-28-2008, 04:28 PM

I'll take the carrot, thank you and sorry for my absence but as I said when I explained why I cannot draw, at the time I have so little free time...

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-28-2008, 04:28 PM

This is what it looked like:

(Hookbill) - Write
Rune Son of Bjarne - Draw
Thinlómien - Write
Aganzir - Draw
Beregond - Write
Nogrod - Draw
Legate of Amon Lanc - Write
Oddwen - Draw
The Elf-warrior - Write
Volo - draw
Kitanna - write
Eönwë - Draw
Finduilas - write
THE Ka - Draw
Rikae - Write
A Little Green - Draw
Holbytlass- Write
Lommy - Draw
The Might – Write

The government had stolen my brain. So all we got as a starting sentence was this garglemesh…

“The Entings had no idea who he was or WHAT he was doing.”

Rune shot three tramps and then got down to business…

Lommy’s problems were just beginning. What with the court case, the massive explosions and the invaders from space…

“Treebeard and Fimbrethil are not amused when the giant hippie-Pippin appears in Fangorn with his floorball equipment and a radical traffic sign”

Aganzir found it hard to believe… obviously…

Beregond shot The Barrow Wight Himself in the leg. When he got out of prison, he wrote this.

"High" on ent draught, peace promotin' 70s Hobbit interrupts a reunion of Ent and Entwife to play forest hockey.

Nogrod was forced to eat his own television… Which would explain the picture…

Legate’s family disowned him because of this sentence… So you’d better appreciate it!

Hermione Granger damaged several Huorns while playing curling crossed with squash for Hippie Hobbits Team.

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-28-2008, 04:29 PM

Oddwen fell down into the mud and there she found a picture…

The Elf Warrior fought off hoards of baked beans. No one really knows why…

The murder of Mr. Onion by Frodo and a Rohan man was witnessed by Quickbeam, his wife, and some others.

Volo’s mind was captured by seagulls. And the Beatles.

Even with Kitanna’s best efforts, the craziness could not be contained…

Phantom and Alien observe as an Ent sports new Nikes and Frodo talks to a giant turnip while the King of the Dead sneaks up behind him

Eönwë found the time to throw beans at passing ducks. From the mayhem we managed to get this picture…

Finduilas felt like a new summer’s day. We soon put a stop to that…

"The Kind of the Dead snuck up on Frodo as he kindly offered the Ring to a large turnip. A friendly Ent, who disliked Alien to a large degree, hides this entire transaction from the Phantom and Alien."

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-28-2008, 04:30 PM

THE Ka found it hard to comprehend… So she got some professor to explain it to her.

Rikae’s task proved something of an adventure… well, not really…

Rikae's prophecy for Phantom and Alien: the Barrow-wight will narrowly prevent Frodo from trading the ring to a radish for a car battery with one of his "hugs of kindness".

A Little Green was a little annoyed… Gah! I did it again! Stupid puns…

Holbytlass had to climb a mountain to write this… Because that’s where all the pens were…

A puzzled Phantom and Alien look upon sage Galadriel's mirror and see a hobbit, an elf and a cloaked thing in the midst of a "yard sale”

Lommy ran to the rescue of this quickly dying telephone call… Although, we weren’t expecting this kind of help…

The Might just might have miss read what might be a mighty might… Yes…

Galadriel, Phantom and Alien look into the mirror and see Galadriel and Alien beating Phantom with sticks somewhere in the Shire.

Thus ends another Paper Telephone. Will there be another? Only time will tell. Quick! To the Time Machine!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 05-28-2008, 04:50 PM

I must say this was a good one. . .I was quite suprised by the general standard of it.

Aganzir's drawing was not only good it also made me laugh out loud, which is not something I do a lot when looking at these tings.

Also Lommy's sentence was good. . .And let me say that I am quite pleased with the length of the sentences, some of them are still longer than I like them. . .but this game is all about individuality and as long as it is kept on this level, then I am pleased.

Another reason I am pleased with them is because people have made an efford to make a humoristic twist on them, rather than just making a stricktly emperic observasion. . .

Also. . .I say this all the time, but I absolutely loved the drawing that The Ka produced, it is quite simply pure class.

I also like Lommy's drawing alot.

Oh and Legate, I think it looks more like John Lennon than Hermione.

Nogrod · 05-28-2008, 04:52 PM

Wow Lommy! That last pic was just a masterpiece!

Volo's Rohanian man and Quickbeam were hilarious.

And Hermione Granger?

Crazy as ever... a squash appears from nowhere and turns into an onion just to be labelled a turnip that is after all a radish... and everything's forgotten in the end.

Fun!

EDIT: And I fully agree with Rune. This was a classy round indeed!
