My reputation is so tarnished, that I doubt you could do it any damage.

Galadriel55 11-08-2016 09:00 PM

You look lovely, Agan. Where did you get that make up? ;) :p

Pitchwife 11-09-2016 10:43 AM

How could it ever have come to this? :eek:

(No, I'm not talking about the US election.:p)

Here we are
 
Paper Telephone is finished - and it's full of surprises (and also a somewhat poor tribute to the late Leonard Cohen)!

Also, just a warning - reading this at work may prove a mistake, unless you're willing to explain to your boss why you're giggling helplessly. Trust me.

That was amazing, especially towards the end! Just weird but brilliant.

I love Nog's sentence and Form's interpretation of it, also Pitchwife's picture and basically everything from Rune's picture to the end, that's when it truly became crazy. :eek::D I will treasure the mental image of The Witch-King in a box from now on! :D

Galadriel55 11-14-2016 06:35 AM

Oh my goodness! "She had always wanted the Witch-King to think outside the box." - and the Witch King being a cat in a box - fantastic!!! :D And Nog's picture and TGEW's sentence - what a way to finish. Full stars!

I agree with Lommy. It's been a great read, especially towards the end. Brilliant!

And kudos to Agan for keeping us on track!

Hookbill the Goomba 11-14-2016 06:44 AM

This was one of the best Paper Telephone's yet!!!

A Little Green's Cat-Witch-King was my favourite! :D

Rune Son of Bjarne 11-14-2016 01:36 PM

Pitchwife's picture was magic!!!

Also is it just me or is Aganzir's shopkeeper a bit ninjaturle-ish?

Pitchwife 11-14-2016 04:23 PM

^:o

MIne too, I think... and I actually suspected some grim & bold origin behind this feline, um, ... phantom. Little did I know.

I'd also like to give kudos to Kath for the first picture (seriously, how else were you going to illustrate those verses? btw that's what Thorin looks like in my imagination, forget Richard Armitage!), Eönwë's comic (whose narrative style is obviously inspired by extensive exposure to P&A!) and Legate's following sentence which prompted the whole box -> cat business, Nog's philosophic spin on the matter (admirably illustrated in turn by Formy!) as well as his cubist picture and TGEW's hilarious interpretation thereof... I could go on, everybody was marvellous.

Can we do this again? Like, soon?

I was gonna offer to try to mod again, but when I was uploading my picture I couldn't get photobucket to work. It says memory full, even though last time I uploaded a PT picture it had something like 3/4 memory left... Dunno what's the problem, maybe I should just delete everything and start over, but as the website has been really slow I'm not sure when that's gonna happen.

I suppose the point is, if no one else wants to mod, I can take the turn, assuming I get my tech to work again.

Pitchwife 11-15-2016 12:54 PM

^Photobucket is not what it was. I recommend imgur - I've been using it for three or four years now, uploaded close to 600 pics, and it's given me nary a problem.

Haha I rather thought it looked like Legate. :p

Photobucket was a bit of a pain this time (can I say this time when it's been 4 months?); sometimes the links that I sent wouldn't work... Might be worth a shot to move over to imgur.

^When I saw you had posted on this thread, Rune, I kind of hoped you were volunteering to mod the next game...

I think we will need a person uhm... of the more disciplined sort.
Besides, I would be awful at writing the narrative.

I could do with another game soon though.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 02-16-2018 08:33 PM

Okay. It's been almost a year since our last game. Anyone up for another? I'll mod if you guys want. :)

Rune Son of Bjarne 03-01-2018 01:56 PM

I am up for a new game.

Galadriel55 03-01-2018 06:29 PM

I would participate.

Huinesoron 03-02-2018 07:25 AM

This looks amusing. :) Assuming the rules are still the same as in the first post, I'll sign up.

hS

Legate of Amon Lanc 03-03-2018 05:17 AM

I am all for it, too!

Pitchwife 03-03-2018 10:24 AM

Yes please!

satansaloser2005 03-04-2018 06:27 PM

I'm in as well!

Oddwen 03-07-2018 10:24 PM

Yas please!

Formendacil 03-11-2018 06:06 AM

You have my crayons!

Pitchwife 03-26-2018 07:52 AM

Nine sign-ups so far - so, is this happening or do we wait for more ? If we do doubles we should be good to go.

Legate of Amon Lanc 03-27-2018 09:21 AM

I think we may want to start this up (possibly with the idea of doubles) and of course if somebody joins on the way, the better?

I think the important question is - who is going to mod it?

Pitchwife 03-28-2018 12:22 PM

Well, TGEW volunteered...

Hopefully, she is still up for it :) I wonder if she can be poked in order to remind her and confirm this; after all, it's been a while.

If nine is correct, I like the idea of running through the list twice (which I assume is the intent of 'doubles'): I think with an odd number it would mean everyone got to both draw and write, which is a plus.

That's the idea, yes.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 04-04-2018 04:49 PM

Sorry for the radio silence, guys! My computer has been on the fritz. Turns out I need a new battery for it, which I will be acquiring soon. It's just a big pain to post on the Downs on my phone and I've been too busy to ask someone to let you guys know about the situation. It's probably a good idea if I don't mod after all this round. But next time I will definitely be up to it!

I'm so sorry for causing a concern. :o

Pitchwife 04-05-2018 12:47 AM

Don't worry, it's all good :). Hope your machine will be back in shape soon!

Anybody else?

Rune Son of Bjarne 04-10-2018 02:05 AM

I am really extremely busy at the moment.
Spring is busy season at work and also in for Danish political parties/unions, on top of this I am also doing a course with the Danish Homeguard... What I am trying to say is: I really hope somebody else is up for modding, as I would not be a reliable choice.

Legate of Amon Lanc 04-10-2018 02:45 AM

If nobody else seems up to it, I could take it upon myself. Next question should be to once again confirm who wants to participate, as it's been quite some time since the initial sign-ups.

Is everyone still with us?

TGEW, you can't mod, but are you up for being a common participant? :)

Huinesoron 04-10-2018 02:50 AM

I'm still here. :)

Galadriel55 04-10-2018 05:47 AM

Same - still here for playing.
