:D I know. But I happen to find faces more interesting than guitars... ;):p

I know but I didn't remember exactly what kind of plant it is. I also forgot about some paintings & stuff you have on the walls.

I'd like to sign up for the next round as well. And I promise to mod one some day, I just don't have time right now.

I wonder if there was any PT for the last... let's say, a year... where either Alien or Phantom (or both) would appear...

Rune, you couldn't have finished it better.
Indeed, definitely!

Yes, it was quite funny and I did not quite get it. Moreover, he became Rune later :D

Hádanka, perchance? ;)

The initial sentence was really a good one Legate! But the Ka owes us an explanation for the "olent green" -thing to be sure.
Yes, I was puzzled as well. Although I liked a lot how Hookbill managed to cope with the problem.

I found all this "Greenie losing her meaning" -stuff absolutely hilarious! And hats off to Aganzir: that place is my home, especially the details, except the plant which is a bit weird (and one can recognize Greenie and me from there - I'm actually wearing the shirt from the picture right now!).
Yes, you can imagine how shocked I was when I actually saw the picture for the first time! Oh my, it was brilliant!

I actually like Théoden's guitar, it has really, really, really interesting shape :D

I was actually amazed by Lauri's picture, even as it came right after Aganzir's. And as for Form's one, I wonder whether it's not determined by age: for I was not that amused by it, but my brother (who is about the same age as Greenie) also kept laughing at it for a very long amount of time.

I really enjoyed everybody's pictures (and sentences!), but as nobody did that yet, I would like to point out also Naz's picture. That one I find really hilarious (and there it was where my brother and me were laughing together for a ridiculous amount of time).

As for modding, I must say I quite liked that, but I would prefer now to draw again for a change. So, whoever wants to do it next...

How on earth did you guess that? That surely was a riddle hard enough... :rolleyes:

And yes, I can see why you found all that so fun already in the middle of the game now... :)

Oddwen 01-19-2009 07:08 PM

Well I don't know about anyone else, but that was well worth the year-or-so's wait. :D

Naz 01-20-2009 02:10 AM

That. That was worthing waiting for!

XD

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-20-2009 08:59 AM

I thought that Aganzir's sentense was by far the best. . .I thought it was perfect! It described what was on the drawing, but still left it open to interpretation.

I also loved how Nogrod transformed himself into me. . .

There where so many great pictures, I was truly amazed. . .Especially Lommy's fish blew me away.

Thanks. I try to write sentences I'd like to draw myself - it can be annoying to get very long ones with lots of stuff, practically just a description of what exactly is happening in the previous pic.
Maybe the fact that I usually concentrate much more on the pictures than the sentences has something to do with my preferences though.

By the way, the next mod might want to give a bit stricter orders as to when the pics & sentences must be submitted. I mean this time it got rather out of hand at times.

Hookbill the Goomba 01-20-2009 10:00 AM

Even though I will probably regret this, I'm going to give modding another shot. Unless someone else wants it?
The players who have made their wishes to participate obvious...

-Thinlómien
- Aganzir
- Legate
- A Little Orange- I mean, Green.
- Nogrod
- Oddthen
- Beregond

Anyone else?

A Little Green 01-20-2009 12:46 PM

I'm in I'm in I'm in!!! (No, I'm not over-enthusiastic.)

Nogrod 01-20-2009 01:20 PM

I just can't miss one either... :)

Oddwen 01-20-2009 06:29 PM

Thou mayest sign me up, if thou so wish'st.

Beregond 01-21-2009 12:45 PM

Please don't leave me out - I couldn't abide missing another. :(

Laurinquë 01-23-2009 01:36 AM

I should have gotten on here sooner.
 
Well, well. That was a truly MAGNIFICENT round. Count me in for the next one please!

I was very amused at how Nessie turned into a catfish. That was great.

I think that we all did a great job, but I was particularly impressed by The Ka's, Agan's, Lommy, and A Little Green's. You have no idea how much that fish amused me Lommy! The smile it had! :D

I am a slow drawer, and it probably took me about four hours before I finally finished that piece. By then it was about 5:30 AM, but one can never be late for a call! Thank you for all your wonderful comments about it! It made me feel better about my, uh, lacking sentence.

Hookbill the Goomba 01-23-2009 02:55 PM

We've nearly got enough for another game! :eek:
Since I enjoyed drawing, I think we'll try for a picture first round. See how that turns out.

Three more people would be nice. :)

Beregond 01-23-2009 04:38 PM

Hey, why don't you start it while you wait for more people? :)

Formendacil 01-23-2009 04:58 PM

I was going to be nice and sit a round out, but if the spots are not a-filling, then I'm game for another go.

Brinniel 01-23-2009 06:00 PM

I've been watching this thread for the past month or so, and it's got me interested. It seems a bit daunting with so many great artists on the Downs, not to mention I'm a perfectionist who takes hours longer than necessary to finish a piece of artwork. But if you want me, I would be willing to give it a try. :)

Umm... did you see that piece of Microsoft Paint-ed stop-gap I whipped up? There's a few hack jobs kicked around too.;)

Personally, my life is busy enough with things that I didn't find the last game to be all that bad for pacing, complaints though there were, so I'm not see that taking too long is SUCH a bad thing... and yes, we want you to try.

I know, but you should not compare yourself to me. . .It has driven people to madness in the past.

anyways, sign me up! If you are still looking for people to join that is.

Hookbill the Goomba 01-24-2009 12:18 PM

Okay, that's all the players we'll need for a good round. I'll send the first pic to Lommy as soon as its done. :)

I can put you down as a possible player. If another person joins, then you'll be in. :)

Thank you, Hooky!:D

On another note, I loved that last round! I almost fell off my chair laughing at one point. Amazing.

Well worth the wait.

And then, "green creature" is obviously Greenie (and she loses her meaning by losing the final o of "olento"), and this led me to decide that the hobbit is Nogrod - there's a resemblance, really!

Lommy, remind me when you can that I'd like you as my brain surgeon, if the need arises. :):cool:

This is what it is: the 'S' in Olent.

Ignore the facts, it's just good for you. I promise.

Sorry for not getting back to this thread in such a long time, I've been stuck in a pattern of working at night and sleeping all day, or generally going nocturnal for the winter.
Thanks for the compliments of course.

One of my absolute favourites is Lommy's, "insert cheering crowd here". Made my juice go up my nose!:D

Legate of Amon Lanc 02-03-2009 03:15 PM

Gookbill, can we have an update of the list to see how far we are? ;)

Aganzir 02-03-2009 03:20 PM

Gookbill? Isn't that a bit rude? :p:D

Gosh, that was supposed to be Russian variant of his name. It never occured to me... :D

Nevertheless, who knows what we may call him if he does not update the list soon! ;)

Sorry, been busy. :( I think I'm out of practice with modding. :D

Laurinquë 02-10-2009 10:51 PM

It really is amazing how the call always comes to you when you are busiest. I will have to wait until Wednesday to send it on as I am hopelessly wound up with writing a speech. I hope I am not murdered...for the third time....:(

wilwarin538 02-12-2009 11:07 AM

Not sure if it's too late or not, but I'd like to get in on the next round! :)

No, that's perfect timing! We needed another player! :D

Laurinquë, do you think you could do your picture today? :mad:

wilwarin538 02-12-2009 02:18 PM

Oh wonderful! I always loved this game!!! Has it started already or are we still awaiting players?

Thank you, Wilwa! :D

wilwarin538 02-12-2009 03:06 PM

No problem! I'm excited to do this! Will I be a writer or a drawer? Or has that not been established yet?

I'm asking a lot of questions. :rolleyes:

** never mind, just found the answer, :) seems I will have the opportunity to do both **

Hookbill the Goomba 02-16-2009 11:57 AM

We are now half way through! That didn't take so long. :eek:

I'm going to be a bit busy this week, but I can draw my picture. I hope it's ok with you Hooky if I show my picture to Agan once I've drawn it and we can send you the picture and the sentence at the same time? Because we will be in the same place, devoid of a net access, until weekend... :)

Sounds like a plan. An EVIL plan. But a plan all the same. Should be okay. :D
