Quick question, and I thought it best to ask this here than through PM, since it might be of concern to others (maybe...):

Are the pictures allowed/should they be allowed to have any words in them at all? Even labels, names, the like?

I'm assuming probably not, for mere shock/amusement value.

Agreed. It seems rather contrary to the nature of the game to have words included when we are trying to create a sentence from a picture. I did this once at a work meeting (

) and we weren't allowed to put words on the pictures but I guess it's up to Hookbill in this case.

Where do you work? It sounds like a fun place.

I agree, I don't think words should be allowed in the pictures either.

Generally it probably shouldn't be allowed, yes. Unless its a joke and doesn’t give too much away, I'll probably let it slide. For example, you could have a Balrog saying, "I don't have wings!" or something.

This sounds extremely amusing, so please sign me up for the next game!

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-10-2006, 02:51 PM

We're about half way through now! At the moment I'm awaiting Oddwen to finish the drawing!

So far, this is the list of players for the second game...

- Kitanna
- JennyHallu
- Orominuialwen

Doth anyone want to mod the next one or should I do it again? If so, I'll explain in more detail what that entails.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-15-2006, 01:12 PM

We're nearly finished! We just need Precioussss to do a picture for us!

If Precioussss still hasn't done it by... say... Monday, I'll pass it on to Kitanna (being the first in the next list). Thou hast been warnéd

My, my, I missed this?

Oh well, I don't mind joining up for any further games, if there is a spot open.

I swear, sometimes I am such a dingaling about these things on the downs, but ah, c'est le vie, and it demands much too. This looks too good to miss anymore.
