Barrow-Down Dreams

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Discontinuation symptoms?

I have had a quite long Downs-related dream yesterday. It consisted of several parts, but I am posting only the two funnier parts of it.

First, in the dream Groin Redbeard played Paper Telephone and when it was his turn to write, the silly Dwarf posted on the thread: "My picture was so funny, I wanted to describe it all, but that would've been too long, so I wrote just: (he quoted his sentence) and I didn't mention (he wrote about all the things that have been on the picture and were not included in his sentence)." I was thinking "oh, my" and started to write a post, explaining him that PT is about surprise and that he is not supposed to tell us what he was writing or drawing.

Then, Farael's WW "Mist in the Barrow-Downs" game started, but it continued still on the same thread. Farael posted the beginning narration, which was only about six lines long and most of it was something like: "You have the escribed circle around a square. The circle's radius is 3 cm. You also have an equation y=5x/7. Tell me the y if you know x is the length of the side of the square." The game started and I started to write a new post, in which I was making the calculations. It took me about an hour. At last I finished, submitted the post, and saw that I cross-posted with all the players (though my post was third in the line from the top; there were posts after me that had already written inside them "x-ed with Legate"). I remember Aganzir's and Ka's (who was also playing) posts were right after mine, and they both had different results of the equation (different from me and different from each other). And Aganzir wrote "EDIT: mine is wrong" and Ka wrote a post explaining to me in a very subtle way that I have it wrong as well.
