So I passed my sentence on to Spawn (you're lucky I hadn't deleted that sent message, haha), but I can't locate your e-mail anywhere Form so you'll have to inform her of what that is.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 12-22-2009, 06:06 PM

Whenever the sentence gets passed 'round to me again, can you ('you' being Formy) send it -to my email? Who knows when I'll be able to get back on the Downs again.

Eönwë · 01-07-2010, 02:40 PM

I don't really want to hassle, but does anyone know where we are?

Geographically or Philosophically?

Perhaps we should put our mental might together and try and guess where the PT is up to...

Heh. I do. I think. Now that Bostonmoot is over, I'm finally catching up on some things. The picture is just about to be sent to Oddwen for sentencing.

I can't believe this has been going on for over four months.

*is impatient* I would probably have already forgotten what I drew if I didn't come across it practically every time I go through my sketchbook (a demonstration of how little I've drawn lately)... Crazy.

And here I was, planning to volunteer to mod the next round, but with this pace, it's summer and I'm (hopefully) on the other side of the world with no time on my hands before we're finished with this one...

I'll poke her at school tomorrow...

Formendacil · 02-01-2010, 03:58 PM

I've talked with LadyBrooke, and she's got school and other reasons to not draw right now, and has offered to withdraw or switch someone who's already drawn once for a writing spot, but for now we'll just trade her to a drawing spot at the bottom of the list, and we can deal with that when the time comes. Here's the updated list:

1.Wilwa
2.Lady Brooke
3.Oddwen
4.dancing spawn of Ungoliant
5.A Little Green
6.Laurinquë
7.Mnemosyne
8.TheGreatElvenWarrior

11.Hookbill
12.Isabelkya

15.Legate of Amon Lanc
16.Rune
17.Brinniel
18.The Might
19.THE Ka

20.Wilwa
21.dancing spawn of Ungoliant
22.Oddwen
23.Laurinquë
24.A Little Green
25.TheGreatElvenWarrior
26.Mnemosyne
27.Rune
28.Eönwë
29.Nogrod
30.Hookbill
31.Isabelkya
32.Aganzir
33.Thinlómien
34.Legate of Amon Lanc
35.LadyBrooke
36.Brinniel
37.The Might
38.THE Ka

The underscored names are the ones have been moved about this time.

That's means TGEW can expect me to PM her the next sentence--Lauri, I know she's had difficulty getting on the Downs of late, so can you let her know it's been bumped to her turn, and give me her email address to send the sentence--if she can't get on?

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 02-09-2010, 07:34 PM

I'm glad I got my picture out of the way! It was a bit of work.

Mnemosyne · 02-15-2010, 01:14 AM

Just so that those who are following the progress of this know, I've got my sentence done.

And Form, you may consider this a request to update the italicization of Ye Liste.

Was my picture easy enough to translate into English?

Well, because I only have a rudimentary knowledge of that strange and esoteric tongue called [spoilers] I had to run it through a site that translated it into Quenya, then Klingon, then Basque, then Pig-Latin, back into Quenya, finally into English, and then back into Pig-Latin for good measure.

It should be fairly intelligible, Rune... Good luck...

I was fairly annoyed with it, so I decided to ignore most of it.

I think it was actually my sentence that melted my brain.

Nogrod · 03-03-2010, 04:39 PM

It's melting mine as well...

Yeah, sorry. The sentence is with me and I'm having quite busy times (and my new mouse is oversensitive so working with Paint is just pain). I'll try to be as quick as I can... = it's not going to take weeks but a few days anyway.

Greenie and I told you to adjust the settings to make it less sensitive, didn't we?

Come on you! I can't even remember what I drew anyway, so this should be interesting...

Exactly. I managed to remember what I made originally, but then just from the remarks on this thread I get the feeling that it's something totally different nowadays. And when I say totally, I mean totally.

I don't know what happened to this game, but it was insane. I know that what I drew had nothing to do with the sentence that I wrote previously!

Nogrod · 03-12-2010, 05:51 PM

I said "no" to Paint the first time and actually drew it... I'll take a photo of it tomorrow when there is light and then it should be on it's way again...

Sorry for the delay...

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-13-2010, 04:04 PM

Just sent off my sentence and golly gosh it's a very odd thing!
Nogrod! Did you have to use so many ultraviolet colours?
