Aw, why thank you, Legate and Rune.

Sorry if i caused any inconveniences...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-21-2008, 12:05 PM

Nothing at all, Naz

And we are moving! I am putting this up also here, so that people don't have to go back a page to take a look how we fare... hopefully this will run well and smoothly...

Gosh! I think this is the first time I've not drawn first! It's bizarre having a more descriptive sentence than an 'unusual statement' which the first sentence tends to be.

Still, I'm done. Sorry, TGEW, I had to guess at one or two details.

EDIT:

I feel it necessary to point out that, had I been modding this game, the sentence I would have started with was:

"Legolas swallows a bowling ball with hilarious consequences"

It's probably good that Legate stepped in.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-22-2008, 04:04 PM

Well, I would not be so hasty, YOU don't know what the first sentence was

What if it was just the one...

And anyway - one thing, Hookbill: Don't worry. I have no idea what it is either.

Sorry, It was a hard sentence to write!

But I do indeed like that sentence, Hook!

Eönwë · 10-30-2008, 01:56 PM

Sorry about that delay people.
Anyway, it is now sent.

How did it get to this? Already?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-31-2008, 03:12 AM

Good, Eönwë. Now the line's moving on... I think we are actually quite fast this time, at least this far.

It seems to be going at a resonable speed and don't fret I have purchased paper, unfortunately my drawing skills have not improved.

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-11-2008, 08:32 AM

Exactly how crazy is it so far, Mr Lanc?

I really can't wait to see what's happened by the time I have to write.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 11-11-2008, 09:43 AM

It's sometimes so crazy that it actually scares me

And those who are waiting in line for soon, I would advise you to take something to strenghten yourselves before opening the PMs I send you.

It was so crazy that it certainly scared me. And I must say that that's quite a feat.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 11-13-2008, 12:10 AM

Laurinque said that it was really bad by now! I just can't wait until it's my turn again!

I'm really liking this game!

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 11-15-2008, 01:41 AM

By the way, has Laurinque sent her stuffs yet, or do I have to yell at her? Or even worse, I could start stalking her! "I know where you live!!!" wait, I already know that!

Laurinquë · 11-15-2008, 05:47 AM

I got the "call" on Wendsday, but as I was I was in the middle of a lot of school work I had to put it off till Friday night. It's taken me about four hours to draw! And it still looks like the work of a three-year-old. *Grumbles*

I'd say it's pretty good, Lauri! And now off to Nogrod. I think I can imagine how the man will react...

Aganzir · 11-21-2008, 09:20 AM

Nog, is the sentence so hard to write it takes a week?

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-29-2008, 06:06 PM

OOooooohhhhh!

We seem to be almost half way through!! Do you think we'll be done by Christmas?

...

Christmas next year?

I'd like to be done before 2009! That may not happen though!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-29-2008, 07:48 PM

I guess we should not make them this long in the future, I mean it is not really fair to the people waiting to join a game.

Or maybe we should have some relatively strickt deadlines?

Sure, well, in general the termines were at maximum 3-4 days for making a pic and 2-3 days for writing a description. It's just that not all the time one can do that, which is explainable. However, I would still encourage everybody to do their turns as soon as possible (but not at the expense of the quality!). At least at the beginning of this round, I think we were actually going pretty fast.

Now you have the chance to prove yourself and get it done in no time, Rune

Aganzir · 11-30-2008, 12:21 PM

Now, I'm not sure if you've done it thus far, but it might be reasonable to put a reminder about the deadline in every PM you send to the participants.

At least with me the thing is, the longer the round takes, the less funny the result seems to be.

Well, normaly I do it the day I recive the pm. . . but today I was at my step-mothers birthday party. You will recive a pm tommorrow with my first contribution though.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 12-01-2008, 11:02 PM

It's a bit unnerving to me that I have to draw next!

From what Lauri said, it seems to have taken a turn for the... well, it's gone crazy...

Let's hope that more people can get these things done sooner.

Beregond · 12-07-2008, 10:45 AM

I didn't sign up for this round, but I can jump in if needed.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 12-07-2008, 08:38 PM

The call comes to me. It will be rather hard to draw. Expect it from me before the end of the week, but not today.

Naz · 12-08-2008, 08:25 PM

You can do iiiit!

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 12-13-2008, 04:30 PM

Oh dear, I will get it done hopefully today... there was something that I didn't know how to draw until today...

I'm going as quick as I can.

Nogrod · 12-13-2008, 08:24 PM

One can think of this positively as well.

After such a long time one has totally forgotten what the earlier round was about and so one can approach the second assignment with clean and pure eyes.

Kind of a surprise to find it still alive, to be fank. Though, glad it's still creeping along.

I was going to scan my picture in tonight, but unfortunately, I left my sketch book at school today. It has my Paper Telephone picture in it.
I'm terribly sorry... Please don't kill me.

Beregond · 12-16-2008, 10:25 PM

We won't...not immediately...

Just kidding. Don't worry, I'm sure we've all had trouble getting the picture in on time.

Naz · 12-17-2008, 06:50 PM

Aw, man, that sucks. Not the waiting, but the leaving sketchbook part. I don't know what i'd do if i accidentally left mine behind or lost it. I've been there when friends have been searching for their sketchbooks; it's not a fun feeling.

It may be possible for me to use force with TGEW, to make her send it on soon, possibly tomorrow. That is if you think I should...I can be very mean and demanding if I want to, though I am not inclined to murder people.

I think we should start to have some deadlines in these games, so that we are able to move forward even though a person is busy. . .
A game like this just takes way too long.
