I absolutely loved Sally's interpretation of Aganzir's picture. While the picture was very nicely done (like always), it was also very weird...unintentionally I presume.

I really loved Bergond's drawing, quite distinctive style and such.

Gil-Galad's interpretation of the whole "pride" thing made me chuckle, love that stuff.

Lastly I was really happy to see Spongebob make an appearance.

Haha, love it - especially the lion math...

I'd like to take this opportunity to say: it's been way too long since I've played this game, so whenever you guys start the next one please sign me up! Kthxbye.

Assuming that's what you found weird about it, of course, because if it was something else, then it was so unintential I don't see it even now.

Next round:

Exactly my thoughts! (We looked the round through together on Saturday evening)

So I'm not willing to miss a round of this another time... and you're all crazy. Like I think we all are, some more, some less (where more is the better).

The "divided lions" turning into Sponge-Bob via the Lannisters was just... well, as weird the PT can produce.

Let's keep the standart, then, shall we? I'm in the next one!

Ah, I actually never saw it as this stick-horse. Now I finally understand where did this pony thing came from. I thought it was just some joke about the way he bends his legs, because it looks as if he was riding an invisible pony. Or trying it "theoretically" how it is to ride one, you know.

Anyway, most splendid round. Could I join the following one as well?

Excellent round everyone!

I'd be willing to mod again if nobody else wants to.

Otherwise I'll definitely join.

I agree with the time limit. For a while we had a 3 day drawing limit and a 2 day sentence limit. Would anyone have trouble with that? G55, your turn might fall into the time you said would be bad for you, but I can trade spaces with someone if they agree to it.

Aganzir - Draw
Rikae - Write
A Little Green - Draw
Nogrod - Write
Galadriel55 - Draw
Legate of Amon Lanc -Write
Rune son of Bjarne - Draw
Hookbill T. G. McDemandington - Write
Eonwe - Draw
Gil-Galad - Write
Blind Guardian - Draw
Thinlomien - Write

I'll do doubles if everyone wants, but my preference is a short game so that I can play soon too!

I'd like to send out the starting sentence on Monday.

I was also thinking of Feminine-Fingolfin and the fact that you presented Morgoth as a knight in shiny armor. It was because of the Silmarils that I could recognize him, although I still cannot figure out how he is going to get scratched by an eagle.

Anyways, I am up for another round, it should be a pleasant distraction from all this thesis work.

The eagle is just cool - "Our talons cut right through Thy visor!"

Yeah well, we all know the Beren/Tuor/Aragorn type wouldn't be my knight in a shining armour.
