I'm still in, though should I fail to respond to a summons, someone should poke me on FB in case I don't get my PM notification.

Very well. I will send out the first sentence today.

General rule of thumb: if it's your turn to write a sentence, please do so within a day, if you are supposed to draw a picture, please do so within three days. I will keep poking you if you don't.

We are doing doubles, and the list, as it stands, would be:

Legate of Amon Lanc - write
Pitchwife - draw
Rune son of Bjarne - write
Huinesoron - draw
Oddwen - write
satansaloser2005 - draw
Formendacil - write
Galadriel55 - draw
TGEW - write
Thinlómien - draw

Pitchwife- write
Rune son of Bjarne- draw
Huinesoron - write
Oddwen - draw
satansaloser2005 - write
Formendacil - draw
Galadriel55 - write
TGEW - draw
Thinlómien - write
Legate of Amon Lanc - draw

Of course, if someone still appears before the first round is done and wants to join, we can do some last-minute mixing up. Same if you feel the need to switch places for any reason, please just say so, and we can do it.

I have just ordered a new battery for my laptop. If installation goes well, I should be able to use my laptop to its potential and mod the next game. In any case, I just sent my sentence off!

Nice!

...aand in any case, with that, we are nearly halfway through. I can tell you, so far it's been a very interesting round.

Very well everyone, we are getting really, really close! A few more days, and you can all see what we have... eh... created.

Legate sent me the sentence to draw a few days ago and I completely forgot about it! So sorry, guys! I'm drawing my picture tonight.

Thumbs up Rrrrrring rrrrrrrrrrring
All right, the time has come! Friends, 'Downers, dear guests.

Today, we have gathered here to witness the incredible process of madness. Namely, how in the name of all, this:

Quote:
Lazy Lob and crazy Cob
are weaving webs to wind me.
I am far more sweet than other meat,
but still they cannot find me!
turned, via a long process, eventually into this:


You don't understand, do you. Neither do I, despite having seen it all. But let's start from the beginning and go through it all, step by step.

Buckle up, we are just about to start the ride.

So once again - as mentioned above, we started with the traditional piece of poetry from Bilbo Baggins's collection.

Quote:
"Lazy Lob and crazy Cob
are weaving webs to wind me.
I am far more sweet than other meat,
but still they cannot find me!"

It was represented by Pitchwife thus:



Upon seeing this, Rune immediately knew what was the issue here:

Quote:
Lobelia's experiment with genetically modified corn greatly improved productivity among the Mirkwood spiders, though some of her other work was considered error-prone.
Huinesoron, being neither lazy, nor lob, came back with this depiction:



Quoth the Oddwen:

Quote:
There isn't mushroom for error when you garden under the direction of Little Miss Muffoot.
And sally, who certainly wasn't a cob, but saying nothing about the craziness, pictured it in this manner:

Question
From there, things began to pick up speed. As evidenced by Formendacil's words...

Quote:
The mushroom's errors loomed over the Princess's ability to see flowers.
And so, royalty had entered the picture, under the watchful eye of the court painter, Galadriel55:



And the famous art critic, TGEW, interpreted it thus:

Quote:
The Queen looks through rose-tinted glasses at a crying mushroom with a list.
Which, in turn, prompted Lommy to portray the following scene:



Passing the ball, or rather the tangled cobweb, back to Pitchwife, who, after recovering from the initial shock, described it as such:
Quote:
Queen Beruthiel was wont to idealise the suffering of the fungoid masses.
Rune son of Bjarne got to his work with gusto that surpassed Hobbit taste for mushrooms:

White Tree
Huinesoron had no problem figuring out what was going on:

Quote:
Seven out of ten cats agree: Queen Beruthiel's scheme to barricade the mines with fungi was a masterstroke of bioengineering.
And Oddwen certainly had no problem picking up that thread:



With fear and trembling, sally looked upon the image, and this is what she saw:

Quote:
The all-feline audience listened attentively to the presentation by The White Tree Society regarding the mission to take the ring to Mount Shroom.
And her sentence took on the following Form:



Galadriel55 was as puzzled as everyone else, but picked herself up, then her pencil, and wrote this:

Quote:
Having failed botany class, Faramir decided to go into animal training, planning to teach cats to carry the Ring to Orodruin using the local flora for orientation.
Which was appreciated by TGEW up to the point of inspiring the following:



And, with that, the final stroke came from Lommy in this shape:

Quote:
Faramir's dreams about an academic career in botany may have been crushed, but it didn't mean he couldn't do something with plants when he grew up.

And there we are.

Thank you for the ride, everyone - it's been a mad one. I cannot express how much fun it's been to mod this, and see all your creations. You're all crazy cobs, and that's a compliment!!!

I had forgotten what fun Paper Telephone is. Thanks, everyone - but especially Oddwen. I can finally make sense of the night a while back when Legate kept having hysterical laughing fits at 1am because "Oddwen's paper telephone picture". That picture is amazing.

^I absolutely second this. You win PT, Oddwen!

Awesome game, everyone! Comments in order of appearance:

Rune - kudos for managing to translate my pictorial mess into something intelligible!

Huey - love your picture! So this is where the mushrooms came from.

Oddwen - 'mushroom for error' = pure genius!

sally - the expression of your Little Miss Muffoot! Somehow she reminds me of Dolores Umbridge.

Formy - I wonder whether the princess's eyesight was impaired by consuming the wrong mushroom?

G55, TGEW, - perfect examples for literal interpretation producing hilarity. Lommy too -- I loved your Queen Berúthiel! (This was my first glimpse of what had come of my picture, and I remember commenting to Legate that 'woman + food seem to have been the most tenacious elements'.)

Rune - Am I seeing things, or is that a tiny Eye above the words 'Macht Frei'? (I appreciate the historical allusion!)

Huey - glorious sentence!

From there on things took a turn towards rabid insanity. Mount Shroom! TGEW's cats look so unhappy, they seem to have an inkling that their quest is doomed, as evidenced by their not surviving into Lommy 's sentence. And I trust I won't be the first to have noticed that Legate's Faramir looks a lot like a self portrait. Thank you so much for modding this!

Indeed. When I saw the picture on the second round, my first thought was that the only thing to make it through was the shrooms.

It was a great round! Thanks Legate for modding and marshaling us into a fast-paced schedule! The picture at the end was a fun idea too.

I love Pitch's somewhat rebus-like picture. It's funny that 404 came up again - I thought it was hilarious!

HS, you're quite the artist. And Oddwen's setence right after - I mustache you where that idea came from, it's a stroke of genius.

Lommy's Beruthiel looks so realistically smug. It's creepy.

And in Legate's last picture the White Tree looks so sternly disapproving. It must know the Ents will not let this business continue.

Nah, Faramir looks too frowny. But second the last sentence!

Oddwen's picture made me laugh out loud.

It finally makes sense where the cats came into this! I modeled my silver cat off of my baby, Scott. He's the one on the left here(shameless plug for my cat):

http://rattling-the-teacups.tumblr.c...e/102982454917

All in all, a very enjoyable round. Since I didn't mod for it, I'm game for modding this time around!

I love the puns! Especial shoutout to Oddwen for Little Miss Muffoot and sally for Mount Shroom.

I'm amused (and bewildered) that two separate people included a 404 error in their pictures, and I am in awe of Lommy's Queen (is she meant to be Beruthiel?).

Oh, and I'm delighted with how long the mushrooms lasted. Obviously I would never admit to making a mistake (such as originally drawing corn, then misremembering the sentence and going 'but Lobelia would definitely be farming mushrooms instead'), so I have to insist that they're actually exceptionally modified wheat...

hS

PS: I'm absolutely up to play another round. ^_^

He's beautiful! The black and ginger ones remind me of my Mom's cats, Guinness and Idris (both named after common beverages of the British Isles).

That's quite the achievement! Who would have thought Lobelia was such an accomplished geneticist? I suppose she couldn't wait to use Bag-End's cellars as her experimental laboratory...

This was a wild ride indeed! I especially enjoyed Lommy's rose-colored glasses and poor Form's interpretation of my ridiculous scribbling. Cheers and huzzahs to everyone on a hilarious game. I am of course up for another round of this craziness.

Okay, I'm super bad because I'm never on the Downs anymore, but I'm still down to mod.

We have so far:

If I wanted to mod a round of Paper Telephone, would I get 10 or so people to play (a classic round with doubles)?

Welcome everybody! I'm very happy to see you all here.

I think we basically have enough people to start already, but I'll keep the signups open for a couple of more days and do my best to kick this off during the weekend. So mentally prepare to start by next week and keep an eye on your PMs. It might not be a bad idea to subscribe to email notifications of PMs if you don't check the 'Downs daily!

Current player list:
Lommy (mod?)
G55
Rune
Sally
Pitchwife
Oddwen
Urwen
Kath
Huinesoron
Legate

TheGreatElvenWarrior has been trapped in the Barrow!
I'd like to sign up for this round, please! I suppose quarantine gives us all an excuse to hang out in the Downs!
