Part I
 
Galadriel55 sneaked into Agan’s room and left a note on the windowsill,
and that little note said:

Quote:

Sing hey! for the bath at the close of day
that washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is a noble thing!
Agan thought it was the electricity bill,
and picturesquely she dropped dead:

Greenie the Healer quickly appeared,
And diagnosed it:

Quote:

There was only one bathtub at Crickhollow, but fortunately it was big enough.
Kitanna, Assistant, standing at the rear
Put a stamp on the sheet:

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/...pse974d670.jpg

To a random passerby
Oddwen whispered from a booth:

Quote:

Merry was aware of Pippin's vigorous bathtime escapades and came up with a plan to prevent damage being done to Crickhollow.
Nogrod screamed, “That’s a lie!
But I will draw the truth!”

Galadriel55 04-23-2014 09:03 AM

Part II
 
An astronomer with a telescope, gazing around,
Reported from Amon Lanc:

Quote:

With Frodo safely out of the door, the future squire of Gondor finally had time to fully utilise the Crickhollow bathroom to his decadent tastes.
Sleepy Hook was annoyed at the sound,
And threw a paper airplane from his bunk:

A level below, beside a sconce,
Gil Galad exclaimed as he caught the plane:

Quote:

Pippin broods at Merry for going trick-or-treating without him and his Gondor mascot costume, but plots his revenge in the upcoming Crickhollow Toilet Races.
Lommy sneezed in response,
Making this sketch in a window pane:

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i5...psb5ab42cd.png

Rune with cleaning supplies and these words
The window began to attack:

Quote:

Ted Sandyman's resentment of Sam's restoration efforts, led to some rather disturbing thoughts of a fecal nature.
BG, one of the local nerds,
Stuck a note on his back:

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/...psc3a27ba0.jpg

Galadriel55 04-23-2014 09:04 AM

Part III
 
Agan entered with a clatter,
Breaking through the rhyming pattern:

Quote:

The defilement of Crickhollow received mixed reactions.
“What can this pure nonsense mean?”
Wondered then A Little Green

http://i44.tinypic.com/nbxc78.jpg

Kit provides an explanation
With a noisy exclamation:

Quote:

The four stooges with Azog the Defiler pillage Bag-End
Oddwen doodled as she listened,
In her book a picture glistened:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ps139604d3.jpg

Picture posted in a blog,
It was criticized by Nog:

Quote:

After tons of criticism for leaving the scouring of the Shire out from the LotR-movies PJ has decided to make it good for the fans and added a scouring of Bag End -scene into the Hobbit-trilogy where ruffians led by Azog do the job. In related news Lego has become a major financial partner of the movies.
Selling cupcakes for a rally,
Came along the sunny sally:

http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2b3a6aa6.jpg

Galadriel55 04-23-2014 09:07 AM

Part IV
 
Mumbled quietly ol’ Hook
As he sally’s cupcakes took:

Quote:

The faceless men in flares were forced to clean paper bags for Punk-Rock-Balrog. Meanwhile, Smaug relives his childhood dream of drinking tea and watching a pile of bad things land on top of the Lord of the Rings.
Gil provided illustrations
For all Nogrod’s vindications:

http://oi62.tinypic.com/161ffgw.jpg

She was headed for the win,
Although she was somewhat Thin:

Quote:

Burglars benefit when balrogs and dragons start new hobbies.
“Are we gonna finish soon?”
Asked the somewhat hasty Rune:

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...f27c4d6049.jpg

“I agree,” as last said Blind,
“Let’s put this long game behind.”

Quote:

During a very important meeting, the Balrog was defeated by a pizza throwing Hobbit-king and a Soduko-playing smirking Smaug.
Legate painted the back cover
And the Telephone was over:

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/...ps822c066f.jpg



And the lesson? You may nod:
NEVER let the lad lass mod.

Hookbill the Goomba 04-23-2014 11:10 AM

SUPERB!! I was giggling like a maniac right to the end! :D

Rune Son of Bjarne 04-23-2014 11:32 AM

Does Azog have an erection in Greenie's picture? I guess that is one way to defile something.

Also, where did the pizza come from?

Kitanna 04-25-2014 07:21 AM

I don't know where that pizza came from and I don't care because that pizza throwing Hobbit king made my day.

Gil-Galad 04-27-2014 03:47 PM

I enjoy how Crickhollow remained constant for almost half of the call!

Wousides 05-19-2014 04:25 PM

Awesome game,, I'll give it a try..

Galadriel55 05-21-2014 10:59 AM

Speaking of which, is anyone else up for a new game, or did I completely kill it?

Blind Guardian 05-27-2014 01:32 PM

Oh my goodness why have I just seen this! xD Is awesome!

Aganzir 06-01-2014 12:02 PM

I'm interested in playing or, if no one else wants to step forth, modding.

satansaloser2005 06-01-2014 12:40 PM

I'm in as well.

Galadriel55 06-01-2014 07:26 PM

Sign me up too!

A Little Green 06-02-2014 12:27 AM

Me too, please!

Hookbill the Goomba 06-02-2014 11:10 AM

I shall play! I shall ALWAYS play! :cool:

Legate of Amon Lanc 06-02-2014 04:00 PM

Aaand me as well.

Aganzir 06-03-2014 02:54 PM

Playing
 
Wousides
sally
G55
Algae (new nickname for you, I never particularly liked Greenie or ALG anyway)
Hookbill
Legate

Doubles yes no?

Nogrod 06-03-2014 03:15 PM

Algae? :rolleyes:

Doubles... whatever the cost in time is.

And count me in.

Thinlómien 06-03-2014 03:52 PM

I'm in too, and I want doubles.

Oddwen 06-03-2014 09:58 PM

Count me in please! I'm good with doubles.

Aganzir 06-07-2014 04:16 PM

We are starting. Please turn on email notifications for private messages (User CP > Edit Options > [check] Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages > Save Changes); if you don't reply in time, your turn will be given to someone else. If you don't stick to the acceptable time allotted (writing two days, drawing three days), you will be whipped for slowing down the call. I am the Professor Umbridge of Paper Telephone.

I hope I'm not too late to get in on this!

Kitanna 06-12-2014 07:40 PM

I'd like to join as well please!

Aganzir 06-13-2014 01:33 AM

You are not too late! Welcome on board!

Aganzir 06-25-2014 10:12 AM

Since Wousides seems to have disappeared, we're skipping them and are now one player short. Would anybody like to step in?

I'd also like to talk about text in pictures. While I think random words and letters are fine (as long as they don't make it blatanly obvious what the picture is about), speech & thought bubbles often lead to the next sentence being almost identical to the previous one. I'm sure that's not what anybody wants, so please consider leaving them out altogether.

Rune Son of Bjarne 06-27-2014 04:16 AM

I am game

Aganzir 06-27-2014 04:18 AM

You can always count on Rune!

(Sign-ups are still open, as always.)

TheGreatElvenWarrior 06-27-2014 10:26 AM

Do you still need another player? I'll happily play along.

We don't *need* one, but you're welcome to join! However - we then need another player to get to an odd number again.

Ask your flatmate, he expressed mild interest when I saw him on Wednesday!

*Finnish clique shuts up*

TheGreatElvenWarrior 06-28-2014 04:11 PM

Alright, I'll join if it's not too much trouble for the mod.

Aganzir 06-29-2014 03:35 PM

Flatmate says yes so TGEW is no trouble at all!

So far, the average time to produce a Paper Telephone contribution has been 2.44 days per person. ;)

Aganzir 07-02-2014 01:10 PM

We are halfway through! The average contribution time has gone down to 1.92 days. :D

Volo 07-02-2014 02:03 PM

Flattie power, yay! :D

The previous round was hilarious! Noggie's painting was one of the most imaginative one's I've seen in this game, Legate's drawing has developed nicely, Oddie's Lego Azog, Gil's faceless men... Frankly, XD

Aganzir 07-08-2014 12:43 PM

Hookbill gets a biscuit for sending his picture 30 minutes after he received the sentence.

http://www.cuvarkuca.hr/repository/i..._content_m.jpg

We are 31 days into the round, and the average contribution time (partly thanks to Hookbill) is 1.82 days.

Omnonom! :D

Aganzir 07-15-2014 04:08 PM

Spamming because the round is ready and I want it all on the same page.

Aganzir 07-15-2014 04:08 PM

The average contribution took 1.46 days, and just a handful of people had to be whipped for being late. Well done. I am proud of you all. ♥

Aganzir 07-15-2014 04:09 PM

One more and here we go... DRUMROLL!
