Oddwen 06-08-2007 04:18 PM

...

Oddwen finished her pic a looooong time ago bud, where have you been? :Merisu:

The 1,000 Reader 06-08-2007 09:34 PM

Crud, I just skimmed through the list and noticed that the person's name started with an O so I thought it was Oddwen. The dude before me has a weird name.

Orominuialwen 06-09-2007 05:13 PM

Actually, I'm a girl. :p

xyzzy 06-09-2007 11:20 PM

Male, female, it's all the same.

...I'm kidding. You can stop killing me.

Hookbill the Goomba 06-13-2007 02:08 AM

You're call has been received, eaten and beaten...
 
This time, I started with something simple… well, I say simple but I mean… weird.

“After Bag End melted, all Gandalf could say was, ‘that wasn’t supposed to happen.’”

Aganzir found it all a little difficult to believe. So drew a picture to help us picture this scene.

http://i9.tinypic.com/4z0bt75.jpg

Volo didn’t know what to say and so hired a professional thinker to think something up… Probably.

"A Chinese wizard accidentally sends Bad End into a time warp. Bilbo are not impressed”

Legate picked up all his courage and a pen… Then he drew this:

http://i16.tinypic.com/61knm1k.jpg

Lord Melkor did a dance, washed the dishes and almost forgot about Paper Telephone. So I sent around some Elves to beat him up until he did…

After having wandered through the East for nearly an Age, the wizard Romestamo makes a surprise visit to Bag End where he displays his awesome skill with pyrotechnics with a magnificent performance. Bilbo, however, is unimpressed by Romestamo's antics while he sits on his lawn smoking his pipe

Beregond wasn’t happy. So, to cheer himself up, he drew this…

http://i11.tinypic.com/5z697ic.jpg

Xyzzy was so baffled that this was the result:

The very tall person thought he would masquerade as a wizard, to impress the hobbits by setting off fireworks; unfortunately for him, they had already been introduced to fireworks and weren't the least bit surprised by the spectactle

Lommy pride her eyes away from the massive army of Penguins assailing her house to draw this…

http://i7.tinypic.com/4uwsrkn.jpg

Gil-Galad had nothing better to do. So writing became his sick obsession…

"So The Only Real Estel (Estel) decided to go ahead with his ingenious plan to pretend to be Thenamir so he can impress Davem and his best buddy Toby with neon fireworks so much that they will love him more then anyone else... ever..."

Orominuialwen was unimpressed and so, in protest, drew something unheard of…

http://i14.tinypic.com/6ezqbti.jpg

The 1,000 Reader had to beat off the 999 other readers before writing something weird.

The dirty commie, in disguise, took advantage of the fact that the two men were high off halfing weed and moved in for the kill, obscured by the drug-haze fireworks the men were seeing.

The Might’s drawing skills were really put to the test. Unfortunately, he didn’t revise very much…

http://i7.tinypic.com/4xo80w9.jpg

The Elf-warrior put down his sword for a moment and picked up the pen. Then, after an hour, wrote something…

Nothing stood in the way of John Lennon's plan to destroy Russia after Merry and Pippin were stoned out of their minds on Far Harad pipeweed AKA marijuana.

Who's up for another?

Thinlómien 06-13-2007 04:15 AM

*laughs hysterically* I can't believe that changed so much. :D That was great. (I love especially Legate's pic. I laughed for minutes when I saw it.)

Sign me up again and I can do whichever job, though I'd prefer drawing.

Legate of Amon Lanc 06-13-2007 05:13 AM

Oh, thanks, Lommy... *blushes*

I think this one was in all incredibly funny, all the illustrations as well as all the narrations. And the final, totally crazy outcome was something we have not had here for some time - that's the way the best PTs work! :D

EDIT: I forgot to say, I realize Aganzir can draw very nice...

I'll probably skip the next one, but I hope at least that will give someone else the possibility to join...

Volo 06-13-2007 05:22 AM

Well, can't really say much more than what has already been said, so I'll repeat:

Totally wicked! :D


I'm in for more! Drawing this time, maybe.

Hookbill the Goomba 06-13-2007 05:22 AM

I liked Lommy's pic, mainly because of the Hobbit saying, "some how they make me sick." :D That made me laugh so much.
Would someone else like to mod this time? Partly because I can't think of anything funny to start off with at the moment. :p

Thinlómien 06-13-2007 05:49 AM

I can promise to mod a game in Autumn when things have settled and I have just one computer regularly at my disposal, but now this is too mixed up...

Holbytlass 06-13-2007 05:56 AM

funny funny funny!!
I'd love to play, I'll do either-write or draw.


If no one else wants to or can mod then I will to give Hookbill a break.

The Might 06-13-2007 06:55 AM

John Lennon you say? :D
Well, I didn't have too much free time, so I did the best I could.
At least it was an unexpected end.

Actually, I don't mind doing it again. I just had a great idea for a sentence starter. :D

Anyway, I think we should have doubles this time, if anyone objects, do say so...

Yay! But could you please put my drawing turn first, because it's more probable that I can use a scanner now than later.

Lord Melkor 06-13-2007 08:53 AM

Haha, magnificent ending! :D Sign me up for another one!

Rune Son of Bjarne 06-13-2007 09:46 AM

Although I do not like communist being reffered to as "dirty" I would like to sign up the next phone call.

It has been quite a while since I alst took part in one of these games.

I don't think it was more to do with the fact that he haddn't showered, nothing to do with poletics.

I must say I laughed at everything, but especially Legate's and Lommy's pictures were incredibly funny. :D

I'm up for another round, but I don't have access to computer during June 20-27, so I'd be happy to do my work before that, if possible?

Gil-Galad 06-13-2007 02:00 PM

aye put me up, i would perfer writing again but if we need a drawer then i shall try...

The Might 06-13-2007 03:42 PM

Ah yes, I'd like to write on this one.
That way I'll spare you my great drawing skills. :D

You can of course allow to do just one if a person opposes enough. ;)

Beregond 06-13-2007 08:17 PM

You can sign me up for either drawing or writing, or both, but NOTE: I won't be able to do anything (I won't be here) until the 24/25th of the month. So you can stick me in at the end or wherever you like when I'm back, or omit me entirely, whatever is needed. :)

Yes but it is still implyed that the reason he does not shower is because he is a commy :p ;)

Hookbill the Goomba 06-14-2007 01:32 AM

Help!
 
EEEP! The Might has had to pull out. We need someone to draw a picture. Anyone up for it?

dancing spawn of ungoliant 07-12-2007 04:42 AM

Ooo, pick me, pick me!

Hookbill the Goomba 07-12-2007 05:05 AM

Consider yourself picked, Spawn. :)

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-13-2007 02:52 AM

Can I join? :)

I'd just want to write, though. Is that okay?

Hookbill the Goomba 07-13-2007 03:20 AM

You'll have to wait for the next game, Nilp, but this one is nearly over, so I don't see why not. :D
The more the merrier.

Hookbill the Goomba 07-13-2007 12:10 PM

It's finally here, folks!
 
Hmm. It seems I can't post more than three pictures at a time...

*****Part 1*****



I thought that it would be interesting if we started with something a bit vague.

Denethor refused to trust Gollum with the fire extinguisher, especially after last time!

So Lommy took up go carting for a while. Then she had to draw a picture…

http://i11.tinypic.com/6fzhp5c.jpg

Lord Melkor’s head began to hurt. Then we sent some dwarves around to his house to beat some sense into him. I don’t think it worked as well as we had hoped…

Engulfed by flames, Denethor nevertheless prevents Gollum from rushing to his aid by blocking his way to the nearest fire extinguisher, shouting that he well remembers the last time Gollum managed to get his hands on it, much to Gollum's dismay.

Holbytlass had a headache. But some magic beans soon put her right. Then she drew a lovely picture…

http://i12.tinypic.com/662yps4.jpg

Rune’s favourite thing to do was chop up small children. We soon put a stop to that and made him write a sentence instead.

Gollum taunts burning woman, while she dreams of an extinguished Gollum

Volo’s talent for drawing was put to the test. Which was not what anyone had expected…

http://i19.tinypic.com/6805mc3.jpg

Aganzir’s confusion was obvious…

Gandalf doesn't like hanging on a stake if the offensively behaving Gollum is hanged on a stake next to his. He wishes he could be somewhere far, far away.

Hookbill the Goomba 07-13-2007 12:11 PM

******PART 2******


Gil was more impressed. Unfortunately, he didn’t feel very well and so this happened…

http://i14.tinypic.com/52nrfx4.jpg

The Might had to write. So he did.

Gandalf and Ghan-buri-ghan are about to be executed by Shrek just like in the failed execution in Star Wars Episode II

Beregond finished off round one with a solid right hook!

http://i7.tinypic.com/504aaso.jpg

Lommy’s writing skills were put to a very difficult test…

"At a fight on a Star Wars -like planet, Ghan-buri-Ghan, Gandalf and Shrek scream their own names aloud in fear of being executed."

Lord Melkor’s drawing was just as good as his writing. Judge for yourselves if that is a compliment or not. I’m saying nothing…

http://i15.tinypic.com/66ec1on.jpg

Needless to say, Holbytlass didn’t have a lot of options…

Having fallen into a "BarrowDowns nightmare" all was chaos-an albino Rohirrim apprended the three rebels, metallic Nazgul fired upon Beorn's relatives and a dirty eye of Sauron looked upon the melee. Is that Gollum all dressed up over there?!

Hookbill the Goomba 07-13-2007 12:11 PM

******PART 3*****


Rune was not presented with an easy task. So this is what he came up with…

http://i9.tinypic.com/6b1l3jb.jpg

Volo was completely confused. As we shall see:

"Sauron is having a nightmare of Eomer leading the rebels against Gollum's sister and the Nazgul hunting bears with rifles."

Aganzir did not have a lot to say… Because he had to write…

http://i8.tinypic.com/6fkdwna.jpg

Gil was not impressed. But he played along anyway…

"The Eye tried to sleep, but he feared that when his Nazgul were out hunting bears with Ak-47's, Eomer will abandon Theoden and run down a girl that looks like Gollum.”

Spawn was called in to be the penultimate candidate. So she had a little fun…

http://i10.tinypic.com/53trx3o.jpg

Beregond decided to go out with a BANG!

The Lidless Eye lay on its bed, dreamed of goblins, pink and dead: holidays were not restful days, since Riders started on their raids; but its cottage was safe at night, the Eye had Nazgul, poor of sight; yet ere the Nazgul were aware, it was clear a bear'd been there.

It was fun, it was painful, it… was long.
Anyone up for another?

Beregond 07-13-2007 12:26 PM

Hehehe, that was awesome! I think it might have been the best. :D Thanks for doing it again!

Volo 07-13-2007 12:50 PM

Surely, this was the best (and hardest - Also thanks to scanner malfunctions.) so far!

So much changed in the process, really wonderfull! :D

I vote for another double-run!

Gil-Galad 07-13-2007 02:09 PM

Paint does not love me one bit...

Hookbill the Goomba 07-13-2007 03:06 PM

Don't worry, Gil. Sometimes the more crude the picture or vague the sentence, the more amusing the results! :D

Dose anyone else want to mod? I feel like playing this time 'round.

Volo 07-13-2007 03:33 PM

Well, I'm always here to play mod, but if somebody else wants...

Anyway:

Hookbill - Either (?)
Nilp - Write

Orominuialwen 07-13-2007 04:43 PM

I'd like to join in on this round!

The Barrow-Wight 07-13-2007 05:55 PM

I think it's time I finally joined this game. Please add me to the list.

Thanks,
