Oh my...

That did change a lot, didn't it?


PS. Hooky dear, the picture you have attributed to The Might looks suspiciously like it was drawn by Nogrod and he's also on the list in that slot...

I was really rather fond of the pictures drawn by Laurinque and Greenie. . . also the sentence of The Might was to my liking.

Jolly good show.

I do believe that Aganzir's and Laurenique's drawings were my favorites!

Let me know when you are starting another round as I'll take a spot.

Indeed when the next game comes around I'm totally ready for another round!

As for this PT... I'm not quite sure what to say yet.

This was great, just great. Might indeed be the best one ever, though I do wish that the owls had lasted longer.

And I have to admit, I'm in love with Pitchie and Greenie's drawings, not to speak of Eönwë and Oddwen's sentences!

What? Of course I want to sign up for the next round! What kind of question is that?

Best ever?

Hard to say, indeed there where a few moments of brilliance in this one and it was a good game of PT, but I think there have been other more to my liking. I thought the length was spot on though. . . I tend to loose focus when they are too long also I find it annoying when you have to wait half a year for it to be done with.

Maybe I would have liked it a bit better if had gotten to make a sentence. . .that is what I take great pride and joy in doing. (drawing is not my strong side)

I thought that Eonwe's sentence was funny, but too detailed to be truly hilarious.

Rune's critical analysis of this PT amused me.

Okay, so here's the list of those who have signed up so far...

Lommy
TheGreatElvenWarrior
Oddwen
A Little Green
Laurinquë
Blind Guardian
Legate

Anyone else?

Obviously, Lauri's contributions to this Paper Telephone were the best. They are quite discussion worthy.

I'm signing up for the next one, of course. Thanks guys for making my evening! I especially loved the Who-owls, Freud turning into Gandalf, and celery and broccoli. Not to mention Nog's Saruman.

I think it's almost counted as a sign-up if I post on this thread with some comment, of course I would like to joing the upcoming one

Although if there were really lots of people who wanted to participate, and there wasn't enough space, I could give them my place - 'really don't mind, if I sit this one out...

Exactly my thoughts - and Laurinque's drawing & sentence - well the whole snowmonster eating a butterman stuff, including Greenie's hilarious pic, Pitchwife's eye for this stuff, Rune's pic (look at the expression there!)! I mean all of it!

I did actually catch a short glimpse of this while giving an exam to the students. They must have wondered what it was with their teacher who started giggling and smiling uncontrollably while supervising the exam and browsing the net in front of them...

Which also means: I'm in for the next round!

Signing up too but I'd prefer not to be placed next to Greenie (or Agan or Nogrod or Legate) because I think I always end up being either before or after them (or very often, between some two of these four) and although I love them all, I know them a bit too well and besides change would be refreshing.

PS. Hookbill, I did enjoy Rune's criticism. I think this one was marvellous but it had too much un-tolkieny stuff...
