Yes, but then, PT usually goes for a long time so unless people are away for several weeks totally, they can find a way to draw a picture, or even better, just write a sentence (even the drawing surely can be done in an hour or less, if need be!). And you can check from time to time where the line is, and if you know you won't be here on your particular turn, you can talk with someone to switch... The only thing is when you count with some progress and it does not go as fast as you anticipated (or as slow as you anticipated), and you realise you won't have chance to make it at all...

I have a bad feeling, though, that I may show up at this thread soon with a request of such sort as Rune feared... unless...

Does not for example EW want to switch with me? I am definitely not being here the week after this one, and if the current writing and then Aganzir's drawing can be done until Friday... or rather... (?) If not this, then I would probably like to be moved somewhere waaay into the back.

I usually like to cross these bridges when we get to them. Doesn't mean we can't prepare, though... We'll see how it's looking towards the end o' the week before we make a move in that direction, I think.

Well yes, I'd say if there was no problem from EW's side, then I would make it the way that if it's not Friday yet and it's his turn, instead give it to me, I will reply to it and it's done. If it's not that way, then you may either wait for me the week after that to show up, or simply then switch me with someone... or it can happen that I arrive back just at the right time for my own turn

(I am going to be away 20th-28th most likely).

There. Carried on the call.

I'm OK with switching with Legate.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!

Sorry! I've made a mistake! I accidentally sent the Volo's picture to Rune instead of The Elf-warrior! Gah! Sorry, Rune! Do you still want to do it? I'll have to rearrange the list a bit now.

*feels very, very stupid*

Ouch! But hey, it's not a big deal!

I could always do another picture...

Normally I would not mind, but Volo's picture is truly dreadful and almost imposible to work with

Yes it does take a long time. . .sometimes because people have not given it thought.

Now for me it is only a matter of taking an hour out of schedual to draw a picture or write a sentense, so I know I can always sign up unless I am actually going away from internet acces. Now other people might not be able to do this, maybe because they have higher standards for what they are willing to submit and so I just ask that people do not sign up if they are very busy. . . . I am not saying that people should not sign up if they expect to be busy 2 days out of a month and you can of course be unlucky with stuff comming coliding with Paper-telephone, all I really ask for is that people feel some sort of comitment to get this game running smoothly and that they give it some thought before signing up.
