I've been watching this thread for the past month or so, and it's got me interested. It seems a bit daunting with so many great artists on the Downs, not to mention I'm a perfectionist who takes hours longer than necessary to finish a piece of artwork. But if you want me, I would be willing to give it a try.

Umm... did you see that piece of Microsoft Paint-ed stop-gap I whipped up? There's a few hack jobs kicked around too.

Personally, my life is busy enough with things that I didn't find the last game to be all that bad for pacing, complaints though there were, so I'm not see that taking too long is SUCH a bad thing... and yes, we want you to try.

I know, but you should not compare yourself to me. . .It has driven people to madness in the past.

anyways, sign me up! If you are still looking for people to join that is.

I can put you down as a possible player. If another person joins, then you'll be in.

Thank you, Hooky!

On another note, I loved that last round! I almost fell off my chair laughing at one point. Amazing.

Well worth the wait.

And then, "green creature" is obviously Greenie (and she loses her meaning by losing the final o of "olento"), and this led me to decide that the hobbit is Nogrod - there's a resemblance, really!
Lommy, remind me when you can that I'd like you as my brain surgeon, if the need arises.

This is what it is: the 'S' in Olent.

Ignore the facts, it's just good for you. I promise.

Sorry for not getting back to this thread in such a long time, I've been stuck in a pattern of working at night and sleeping all day, or generally going nocturnal for the winter.
Thanks for the compliments of course.

One of my absolute favourites is Lommy's, "insert cheering crowd here". Made my juice go up my nose!
