Hahaha!!! Well done, everyone! This one is so funny that it stayed funny since the beginning till the end. Every single one was creative!
(And Agan, you never cease to amaze me with your ability to look so innocent while saying half the stuff you're saying... ).

I must stress I'm really thankful that almost everyone respected the time limit in this game. It's not very much fun if the game drags and you're not able to tell when your turn comes up, and I bet it's stressful for the mod to engage for months at a time. I hope we can maintain this pace in the future as well. And remember - if you're busy, you can ask to be moved down the list even without a modly prompt!

This was brilliant! I loved all of it, but from Legate's sentence onwards I was giggling aloud. Lommy's picture? And Eonwe's? I also liked Rune's Saruman, and the way Gryffindor turns into the Catalan independence movement.

It was a great round. I loved everybody's pictures, they were all fun and helped the game go in a completely different direction than it started! And Aganzir, you are a goddess among mods for making us so swift.

I just realized that Lommy's purple wizard looks like he's giving the WK the finger.
PS: and just for fun, cutting out everything except for the first and last sentence: Bilbo wished Gandalf would enter his hole as he used to, uninvited. The Great Dictator of Angmar indoctrinates the virtues of a free market to a band of dwarves. Just... wow. PPS: I'm in for the next game, whenever it will be, but I am away starting a week tomorrow and until August 10, so... whatever needs to happen to my spot on the list.

I only got to see this now... Hilarious!
As soon as it finally got to deviate from the original sentence it was just genius all along. And like somebody already said, this time it was oftentimes the sentences that kind of pushed the story on towards new paths and which made one smile ever wider. That said, extra kudos to Eönwë's and Lommy's rendering of the Last Supper, Algae's dreamy smoking wizards and Legate's wild cartoon on Gandalf's journeys... And yes. Thanks to Aganzir for making us meet our deadlines. That is no small feat.

I don't get it, where did Gryffindor come from?

It kind of looked like the Burger King was wearing red and gold, and also the broom suggested Quidditch.

While it is fun, it isn't quite representative for the game. I find it rather impressive that Gandalf/Wizard(s) is a recurring element right until the last sentence.

That, in fact, is not really that impressive. Gandalf or Wizard(s) of any kind are kind of hard to confuse with anything. Even a Hobbit may get extrapolated for, say, Tom Bombadil or for some fat person, the only thing you can mix up Wizard with is exactly Dwarves, but even then it's pretty likely that had the PT continued, sooner or later the Dwarves would change into Wizards at some point. Gandalf, Gollum and Alien are the type of characters who are very difficult to get rid of.

Hellooooo is there going to be a reawakening extravaganza for Paper Telephone too? Any takers for modding? I don't trust myself to do it as I'd likely just take it in turns to get over-stressed about it and forget about it.
