THE Ka · 08-18-2007, 05:05 PM

This had a lovely ending!

Though, I might as well clear up some of my madness. Not all of it, just some mind you...

Quote:

Arwen's little business affair was going well as long as the reporters didn't know she was selling her Mystic Middle-Earth Stuff to goblins and fools in front of the Cecily Café.

I read 'out of this world', and got the idea from one of my favourite television shows, Northern Exposure. The reason being, is that it is based in a fictional town of Cicely, Alaska (Yes, I only realized after I had sent the reply in that I had been a dunce and incorrectly spelled the town...

).
Anyways, it is filmed in Roslyn, Washington, though many people think that it's a lost little section of Alaska situated in an entirely different area. So, I played on the joke of an 'alternative universe' of Cicely.

Also, the violent child on the left of the table is Max. He doesn't have the Wild Things with him, sorry.

The rest is an absolute mystery, since I don't want to give it all away, which is a bore.

Though, something is troubling me. Why can't Nazgul go to art school? Is it because they can't comprehend Expressionism fully?

So... Does any one want another game, or has everyone lost interest?

The Elf-warrior · 08-25-2007, 07:17 PM

I'm interested, and I'd vastly prefer to write.

Aganzir · 08-26-2007, 02:32 AM

I'm in, drawing.

Thinlómien · 08-26-2007, 07:31 AM

I'm in as well and I'd prefer drawing....

Finduilas · 08-26-2007, 09:57 AM

I would be interested in joining. I would prefer writing, since I don't think I would be able to figure out how to do pictures on the computer.

Firefoot · 08-26-2007, 10:11 AM

I'll hop in on this round. I'd prefer writing.

i'm in for writing

THE Ka · 08-27-2007, 12:25 AM

Might as well join again. I enjoy this game of ironic point and purpose.

I am in for writing or drawing, I don't mind which.

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-27-2007, 12:35 PM

Which is why I'm asking for a few more drawers. But while we wait, shall we get started? I think that's a good idea.

Feel free to join in, anyone.

which would be grand, thanks finduilas, i owe you a pizza!

Orominuialwen · 08-28-2007, 10:29 PM

I'd love to be in on this one. I can draw again, if you like, but don't expect any more skill than in my last drawing!

The Might · 08-29-2007, 10:03 AM

Har, har, har, guess who's back?
With a new and improved PC I'm reday to take part in the next one and...I'll draw.

Lord Melkor · 08-29-2007, 10:28 AM

I don't mind joining in again if there still is an open spot. I do prefer to write this time though.

Thinlómien · 08-29-2007, 11:05 AM

Hookbill, why is Rikae after me if we're both to draw?

Hookbill, dear mod, could you add one (1) Volo to the soup. Thankses!

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-10-2007, 12:29 PM

Certainly, volo.

Has anyone seen THE Ka around?

Orominuialwen · 09-11-2007, 10:28 PM

I'm swamped with homework until Friday, but I'll try to do my drawing then.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-17-2007, 09:54 AM

To keep up the status quo, we decided to begin this Paper Telephone with an interesting sentence about the goings on in Rohan…

"Theoden's plans for a purple tree of Rohan meets mixed reactions from the super intelligent horses."

Aganzir bit his own face off in the attempt to get his mind around this craziness. So this is what came out of his pen.

The Elf Warrior had no time to lose. But several watches went missing from the Downs…

Boromir taught an art school for horses

Lommy’s task involved running an obstacle course. We’re not sure why…

Gil had a nervous breakdown. From his inane babble we discerned the following words…

"Boromir failed to impress his horses with his example of a landscape picture, the horses then began to lose hope in Boromir and give him dirty looks”

Rikae’s Pen and paper were hunted down by an evil government conspiracy. So she just drew something different.

Firefoot had, well, some fire on her foot. After putting it out, the only thing to do was write a sentence or two…

Some punny ponies watch skeptically as Boromir wildly illustrates that Rohirrim verse, "...A red dawn rising."

...

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-17-2007, 09:55 AM

THE Ka, not just any old Ka, but THE Ka, decided it was high time for something a bit unusual…

Finduilas was so upset that there was need for an ambulance.

When Arod sees Boromir selling pain in the form of red paint, he said "Dead man tells tales," which caused Hasufel to faint.

Then what happened was that Orominuialwen was faced with a terrible decision. Weather or not to run away or to draw a picture…

The Might finished off with some terrifying thoughts.

Boromir and one of the mearas have a tomato sauce eating contest after which gives both hallucinations and ultimately makes the horse faint.

Aganzir · 09-17-2007, 11:00 AM

How on earth did Théoden become Boromir? (That poor old man, he seems to have hurt his left hand in my picture anyway - look how it has twisted!)

Lommy, that Boromir of yours is cute. Where can I find him?

And I just love Rikae's picture.

THE Ka · 09-17-2007, 12:20 PM

Ah, moi aussi! It is lovely, and started a bit of a challenge to make as many horse and red dawn related things 'punny'. Thankfully it did not lead to bad cases of 'ennui'.

~ punny cursed Ka

The Might · 09-17-2007, 03:08 PM

Lol, I believe there is a "t" missing on that paint bucket. That's why I misread it...pain!

EDIT: Wait, that is supposed to be pain?! Ah!

Thinlómien · 09-19-2007, 06:45 AM

Rikae's and THE Ka's pictures made me laugh so much, especially Rikae's.

That was a very funny round, but a bit too short and changed a bit too little (what a great and grammatically correct way of expressing that

).

Who's going to mod the next one?

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-19-2007, 06:58 AM

I can mod again, unless someone wants a go... Please?

This time, I think we should wither have at least 20 participants, or 10 and do doubles. Shall we see what happens?

Sign up now:
So far...

- Lommy
- Volo

Thinlómien · 09-19-2007, 07:10 AM

If you (or someone else) can mod this one, I would probably be able to mod the next one - unless it is running the same time as my ww game. But even that might not be a problem, though. We'll see then.

This round, I'd prefer drawing but I have no objections to writing either. And I'm all for the big game.

Volo · 09-19-2007, 10:43 AM

Could you please add me to the player list?

Finduilas · 09-19-2007, 01:04 PM

I would be happy to join again. Either job would work, but I will be faster if I write.
