Another great episode has been completed... I can't wait for 2014!

Great stuff by everyone, but I'll mention a few:
I love Greenie's cloned Gollums
Aganzir's drawing is creeeeepy!
Nogrod's passerine Gollums, lol..
Also loved Galadriel's "balancing" Marx.

Rune's interpretation made me laugh!
Sally's really changed things up at the end.

So that's where Aladdin came from! But I still don't get the green eggs...

Absolutely hilarious!

I'm definitely up for the next PT...

Edit: wow, I am slow! Beregond's remark about 2014 just got to me (like 10 minutes after reading it)! And now I can't stop laughing!

lol, I hope it was a joke on my part.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out where Sally saw some of those things in the picture, but a little creativity makes things interesting.

TheGreatElvenWarrior has been trapped in the Barrow!
I love how Hookbill turned from Hookbill to Hunchback back to Hookbill again.

For whoever mods the next game, I'm in. I've got a shiny new scanner for even faster pictures!

Aganzir has multiple versions of that painting in her room. As the night deepens, their tiny "Om nom nom"s become louder and louder.

Game ONE, main game

Aganzir
satansaloser2005
Beregond
Galadriel55
TheGreatElvenWarrior
Pitchwife
Legate
Hooketybill
Aganzir
Rune
Thinlomien

OK with playing Mega Super Ultra Über Game:

Game TWO, quick game, simultaneous with the first game.

Pitchwife
Galadriel55
Legate
Aganzir
satansaloser2005

Am I correct in assuming you all desire to play again?

What do you all think of me trying to run two games at once, with the same players? You would get to draw for one game and write for the other. I could stagger them so you're not getting both at once. It would certainly be quicker than a double game with many players.

I could even run a second game with fewer people (while doubling?) or something if you feel up to it.

Hm, my pic and TGEW's sentence seem to be missing. ???

But that detracts little from the mind-blowing effect of the whole thing. So many great pictures here, it's really hard to pick favourites! I especially like Agan's Goya-troll, BG's and wilwa's collages and Diamond's green delirium, but Oddwen's Tevildo-Attack is beyond awesome. Hell hath no fury like a cat written out of the legendarium, obviously.

Anyway, I'm in for the next round.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I don't mind being in just one game, or being in both. Whatever works out best. (Great idea, by the way!) But either way, I want to try writing a sentence this time!

Great stuff, and yea, count me in for the next game.

I think running two simultaneously is not a big deal, if the Mod can manage it (and not mix up two games together), of course it's very likely one of the games will eventually become faster than the other - but that's actually better, so that we aren't "overstuffed" when the horror is revealed. The only thing is hoping that it won't come to a player drawing/writing two things at the same time, but that will anyway depend on luck and on how much the two PTs' lengths spread...

I agree, it is fascinating how there can be an unspoken consensus about what you associate with certain downers, in Hookbill's case people agree that he reminds them of what can best be described as a deform lunatic.

How anybody could mistake me for Karl Marx, is beyond me though.

It helps me sleep.

I'm in for both games. I don't think it will be too difficult as long as our dear Oddwen is careful (as we all know she is ).

Oddwen, I would like to note that I also wanted to participate in both of the games (unless there are some people who haven't been playing lately and would like to get their space, in that case, if there was too many of us, I am fine with just one game).
