That would be good. Thanks, Oddwen, we'll see if it is needed, depends on LM I guess...
...Well, if the picture comes before Sunday, then it seems I'll be writing about TM's picture. Mwahaha...  And to keep you in track, I'll pop up here as soon as I'm back.

Paper Telephone!
I woke up in the middle of the night with this idea burning my head:
"Smaug got tired of living under the mountain and decided to build himself a new house on top of the mountain. Beorn is giving advice." Aganzir couldn't find her pencils so she used paint instead:  dancing spawn of ungoliant found a minute in between filling different forms and wrote this: "Having a bureaucratic bear interfering with your attempts to remodel your penthouse condo made the glowing Worm wish he hadn't moved in the neighbourhood in the first place." Orominuialwen quickly skipped through 38942 pictures and made a collage out of the best ones:  Thinlómien visited Sofocle for help and recieved great advice, this is how she improved the wise words: "Chinese Smaug was not happy when an official-looking female Beorn came to visit him with outrageous requests." Hookbill the Goomba had just finished another article about the Argonath when he was ordered to draw this:  Gil-Galad opened his history book and found the courage to bring out the truth: "The Dragon did not like Threats, in fact he hated them for it brought back painful memories of his childhood when all the other kid-dragons on his street would tease him about being a dragon with a funny hat that anyone could control him, but someday he will prove himself that dragons can be stylin' in hats too..." Precioussss sat in deep thought and in the end concluded like this:  The Elf-warrior who had run out of tee, visited Menel to borrow some and in his way of saying thanks, wrote this: "Meneltarmacil thought of the humiliation that would come to him if he accepted the Hobbits' funny hat." Lord Melkor, after having travelled to the other side of the Galaxy to see what colour Gandalf the Grey's hat was, decided that it looked like this:  Legate of Amon Lanc saw that this was a serious matter and grave seriously stated these words right here: "Poor Meneltarmacil does not have the heart to decline Frodo's gift of a "funny" hat with roses on antennaes, pictures of smileys and inbuilt blue ice-cream cone; though he knows that putting it on will surely mean being exposed to the mockery of the whole Fellowship..." The Might giggled at Legate's words and posted this picture:  Oddwen sighed and went off to put on the coffee machine, half way there she though about the matters at hand and knew that the realy truth was this: "Bilbo gives away hats on his birthday, but Meneltarmacil(tm) is ungrateful." Beregond looked at the dictionary and wondered what could "Meneltarmacil" mean. Then he looked in the window and gasped. The thing he saw was this:  The 1,000 Reader saw that it wouldn't be easy, but with some political accuracy managed to finish the game with this phrase: "No hobbit would forget the dragon that showed up during Flatfoot Proudfoot's birthday in 2019." Thank you all and do come again!

Indeed it was.
Whoever mods the next round, I would like to draw again if possible. Maybe I can even find my pencils by then.

Ha, wonderful!
I must say, I like very much Hookbill's interpretation of "outrageous requests". Though, something like this could have been expected...

I would like to be in the next game, if somebody wants to mod. Should we try the two part double game that was held once?
Either role is fine with me. |

 It would probably need everyone to really post on time, mainly for the mod's sake, because not everyone can really 100% check the Downs for several months every two or three days...Anyway, I'd like to participate in the next game as well, if there will be a place (though if someone who is new or wasn't here for long wanted to join and there weren't enough space, I might skip this turn), and if someone wants to mod, of course. If no one wanted, I could eventually take this burden myself, but it would be really only in the worst case...

The rule of posting on time was forgotten... I think it's usually two days and then you're changed with somebody (if you don't inform about being late on time and beg for mercy, that is).

That was probably the best one yet!
Aganzir's picture really made me laugh. And I love how Smaug turned into Meneltarmacil. If no one else will mod, I will. The list of folks who have said they will play: Aganzir Volo Legate of Amon Lanc Lord Melkor

Maybe write next...
Anyway, interesting how the dragon became Meneltarmacil, and Beorn became a Hobbit Too bad the pics are more or less constant this time...

I'd love to play again, but only if I'll be done with my part before June 19th. (I leave the country for a month then and probably won't be online much during that time.)
The building permit Smaug holds and the background from my picture are both photos I took when my family had our house remodeled last fall--we had to keep the permit posted on our front door, and the other picture is of our bathroom with all the walls, flooring, and plumbing ripped out.

I'd love to play again and would prefer drawing, unless there is (there are?
) a serious lack of writers.
