Paper Telephone. - Page 32 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nogrod · 08-06-2009, 07:55 PM

Thanks Form for taking this - and don't you leave me out!

And I may have to notify Lommy & Legate tomorrow - so you'll have two more in an instant... and Aganzir prolly can't miss one either...

And Spawn! What a nice thing to see you back here! (see you RL as well soon?)

& can you figure a PT without Hookbill? He'll come around as well...

LadyBrooke · 08-07-2009, 12:09 AM

Form, I'd like to be in the next game.

If it's not too much trouble though, can I have my turn to draw close to the start of the game? Once it starts getting into September I'm not sure how much time I'd have to draw a picture.

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-07-2009, 01:03 AM

Ack!! Was going to sign up earlier but forgot.

I'd like to play this round.

Eönwë · 08-07-2009, 02:44 PM

I'd just like to say that since I won't be here for the next week and don't want to slow it down, can you please move me further down the list Formie?

Sure, no problem. But, really.... this is Paper Telephone... it's going to get slowed down somewhere.

That's a bit less easy to guarantee... always easier to say you're later than you'll be done by such a time, but I'll put you where Eönwë was, and we'll hope for the best.

With the others, that puts us:

1.Wilwa
2.Lady Brooke
3.Oddwen
4.dancing spawn of Ungoliant (SPAWN!!!)
5.A Little Green
6.Laurinquë
7.Mnemosyne
8.TheGreatElvenWarrior
9.Eönwë
10.Nogrod
11.Hookbill

LadyBrooke · 08-07-2009, 09:28 PM

No worries if we're not done with my drawing turn by September - what I really should have said is the later in the school semester it gets the busier I'll be. August will be a breeze, September will start getting rougher and Decemeber will be awful.

Isabellkya · 08-08-2009, 12:49 AM

Hehe. Paper Telephone is always hilarious.

I recognized the avatar, just not the name that went along with it. I figured it would be more fun to just give it an anonymous name, rather than search it out. xD

I'm definitely in again if there is room.

Aganzir · 08-08-2009, 03:05 AM

Hah that was pretty funny. Loved especially Lauri & Brinn's drawings, and Form's of course, but everybody did really good work.

For the record, I wasn't intentionally trying to sneak in Downers. I just had no freaking idea who the guys in Legate's pic could be, and figured they reminded him and Nog enough.

Sign me up for the next round Master Formy!

Thinlómien · 08-08-2009, 12:28 PM

If we fit in, please sign me, Legate and Rune in.

(We're all in the same place now so I have the guys' permission to speak for them here.

) And oh yes, sign us in even if there's no space according to your original plans

because we're all so nice!

Formendacil · 08-08-2009, 04:28 PM

Let's see where that puts us..

1.Wilwa
2.Lady Brooke
3.Oddwen
4.dancing spawn of Ungoliant (SPAWN!!!)
5.A Little Green
6.Laurinquë
7.Mnemosyne
8.TheGreatElvenWarrior
9.Eönwë
10.Nogrod
11.Hookbill
12.Isabelkya
13.Aganzir
14.Thinlómien
15.Legate of Amon Lanc
16.Rune

Okay... because I'm nice, I won't cut this off at thirteen--even though that was a nice number. Instead, we'll just have a super-long game. We should wrap up about....

I dunno... April?

In all seriousness, we're going to try for three days a person, if possible, and I reserve the right to skip people if we've gone past that point, even though I'm easygoing about this game and won't, in any case, be curious to see what's next, since I'll have it.

We still have room for one person--so as to have an even number to start things off. I'll send a sentence or picture to Wilwa later tonight (picture if I'm motivated, sentence if I'm not.

)

April sounds about right, March if we get lucky. If you sent me a pic tonight I can have the sentence right back to you, if you send a sentence I can have the picture tomorrow. So I think we'll be off to a quick start!!!

wilwarin538 · 08-08-2009, 10:33 PM

My pic has been sent in...so it's moving already!!! Cause Wilwa has no life, haha.

Ooh, is there still? I hope I didn't miss out on this because looking at the size of that list, the next PT probably won't even start until next summer...

EDIT: 2,500 posts. Go me.

The Might · 08-09-2009, 06:06 PM

Wait, what's up with me? I wanted to play as well... but I signed in for this one at the beginning of the previous one.

LadyBrooke · 08-09-2009, 08:51 PM

Just sent my sentence into Form.

This is getting to be like the sign-up for Boromir's now-playing WW game...

Anyone else?

The Might · 08-16-2009, 06:19 PM

I believe we're up to Lauri's turn now. Just because it's nice to see how it progresses, you know.

Thinlómien · 08-17-2009, 01:07 PM

PS. We are doing doubles like normally, right? or not?

Yes, Lommy--unless there's really strong demand to do Triples.

Because, Lommy dear, as long as you're chatting with everyone, why should I need to update it? Also, I'm not making a new post every time someone gets back to me--at least not as long as it moves along nicely. So only when we have excuses for me to post again--like this.

We're up to me; I promise I won't sit on it as long as I did last time.

Ok, good, then it won't be my turn yet while I'm away for the weekend...

If I can make the Internets work properly, I'll have a picture for TGEW to sentence within the half hour... if not... well... you'll have to wait until I can browbeat them.

Eönwë · 09-03-2009, 06:43 PM

I'm sorry everybody. I'll be able to finish and send my picture tomorrow.

Don't we always? It's the only way to assure that everyone gets to both write and draw.

Yes, we always do. It just wasn't listed like that this time, so I wasn't quite sure.
