Oh, crap. I haven't had mobile access to the Downs and just now got the PM from Agan. Is there any way I could convince someone to switch me spots? I didn't even realize we'd started, and I simply don't have time right now. I'm ever so sorry.

Aww it's okay - it did take this game quite a while to start. I'll move you to the end, and even if you don't have mobile access by then, no worries.

I sent my pic before the Midsummer's eve and after me there should have been (be) only Kit and Sally.

So we shouldn't be that far.

Whoops sorry here's a busy mod who has forgotten to update the list. Sally has had it for a week but she's promised to send it soon, so we're nearly done.

So it begins

Quote:
Aurë entuluva!
In a hole in the ground there lived a Hookbill.


Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy TGEW, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat;
Quote:
Afraid of the night, Huor agonizes that it will never be light again, while Hurin assures him that it is only temporary.
It was a hobbit-hole, and that means Galadriel55.


It had a perfectly round door like a Lommy, painted green,
Quote:
When the darkness falls, Húrin comforts his brother Huor.
With a shiny yellow brass Oddwen in the exact middle.

The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a MCRmyGirl4eva:
Quote:
Just as Kili and Fili believe that they've escaped the goblins and the Great Goblin, Fili is trapped by a falling ACME safe.
A very comfortable tunnel without Legate,


With panelled walls, and Blind Guardian tiled and carpeted,
Quote:
Two blue robbers broken into Gollum's extended family's cave and were surprised when a Acme-block fell out of the sky and crushed one of them.
Provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and Greenie

The hobbit was fond of Rune.
Quote:
To their own surprise, the Barrow-wights were in possession of a smashing security system.
The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the Nogrod


The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called Kitanna
Quote:
A few barrow wights enjoy game night with their favorite board game, the Comfy Balrog!
and many a little round sally opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.


Thank you everyone!

Thumbs up

Truly amazing!! I am in awe!!
Agan, that has to be the best commentary, by the way.

Nogrod's Barrow Wights are very spooky! Even if they look like melted wax...

MCRmyGirl4eva's introduction of the ACME safe was a stroke of genius!

And Greenie's picture! A work of art beyond that of everything in every museum! Truly remarkable!

I can't believe how we all seemed to run around aure entuluva for a while. I even fancied the idea of a not broken telephone, but then it changed. Nice round! I have to say that Legate's, Nog's, and sally's are my favourites. Truly awesome!

Aurë entuluva lasted surprisingly long *kudos* but then even comfy earplugs started turning into a a board game named "Comfy Balrog"! Cool Kit!

Húrin's and Huor's expressions in Oddwen's picture are quite priceless, and MCRmyGirl4eva's and Rune's sentences made me grin even wider.

Greenie's pic is just hilarious - and while Sally's was a picture (and a funny one), it was actually the text in it that made me laugh.

Nice, even if a short round. Thanks for everyone - and especially to Aganzir for doing the work.

The doubles take more time time, but I'm still in favour of them...

I guess I can mod, if someone teaches me how to open pics on Photobucket so that you can actually post them as pictures and not as links...

It lets you copy the link from several locations, and you have to choose the one that says something about copying image url or direct link. You can also copy image url by right clicking the picture. I hope this helps even though I'm too lazy to check how exactly it's done.
