Durelin · 04-05-2011, 01:59 PM

Just as a note it appears Adaneth last visited on January 28th...I looked them up because I didn't recognize the name... Here's hoping we haven't scared them away completely.

Hmm. I'll make sure to contact them beforehand to see if they're still happy to join the game...

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-08-2011, 11:03 AM

Phew! We're moving again! But I think the next PT should be shorter. We want fun sooner!

Galadriel55 · 05-08-2011, 12:38 PM

If there is someone who disappeared and who needs their place filled, I could do it. But only if.

Give or take, yeah.

Gil-Galad · 05-30-2011, 09:35 PM

If need be, throw my name on there where ever I am needed. Gives me a reason to try out my tablet.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-31-2011, 08:16 AM

Well, I wonder which of the PTs has been taking long, the one two rounds ago, which was accused of being too "lenient", or this one, which many (or at least me) expected to try to be "swift and merciless"... Inns make delays, but...

Anyway, I am just warning you that I am the next one in line and since I have been so for already more than a week, I need to remark: I can write my sentence rather quickly when it comes. But if my turn does not come for another week, I might not be able to write it for another few weeks after that, as I will be in the middle of a desert by then (literally). Just a warning

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-01-2011, 05:44 AM

Just keep poking Rune until he moves.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-01-2011, 03:22 PM

Looks like it wasn't necessary. So, we should be on the move again! I am... curious.

Galadriel55 · 06-01-2011, 03:40 PM

Is that a hint on how bizzare it became?

And by the way, I noticed that during previous PTs there were some hints that judging by the comentary were references to Doctor Who. If there are any this time, I won't be able to understand them (since I don't watch it), so please don't get mad at me.

I think there are many hints to many different things randomly depending on the various posters, but I think most people don't get all of them.* I don't understand for instance Doctor Who either and I have never despaired because of that.

True...

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-01-2011, 05:01 PM

Don't worry. There are enough non-sequiturs in there that any references to anything are lost in a pile of craziness.

As it should be.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-05-2011, 09:33 AM

Does any one know if wilwarin538 has vanished or something? I'm getting no response from PMs, is all.

That's not good! I will be away at camp for 2 weeks starting on the 10th with no internet access. That means that I have to get the sentence real soon!

Maybe I should PM Glirdan to tell Wilwa...

Or, there's still hope that Adaneth will reappear...

Nogrod · 07-05-2011, 10:14 AM

Have you tried to contact her via Facebook? That's oftentimes quicker with those people who don't hang at the 'Downs that actively.

satansaloser2005 · 07-05-2011, 10:20 AM

I threatened to attack her with cupcakes if she didn't get on with it.

....Perhaps that wasn't the best incentive. >.<

Sounds like an awesome incentive to me! *nom nom*

Diamond18 · 07-10-2011, 12:02 PM

...So, another year yet, do you think?

Galadriel55 · 07-10-2011, 12:11 PM

I'm about to leave, and I still haven't received a sentence to draw, so I'm afraid I'll have to take my words back about replacing Adaneth...

I'll just move you down in the list and see how it goes...

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-12-2011, 10:33 AM

I did send a PM to Adaneth a month ago and got no reply. So, for now, I'll move on and see what happens...

Galadriel55 · 07-24-2011, 01:53 PM

All right! I'm back, and ready to draw whatever crazyness has been built up!

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-12-2011, 05:44 AM

Okay, guys, Mnemosyne did the task but since I'm in Finland away from my computer I can't reallly continue properly. We'll be moving on to satansaloser2005 on Sunday, I expect.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-04-2011, 12:15 PM

So, apparently elronds_daughter wasn't responding to my PMs (and hasn't been on the Downs for several months)... So I'm moving on. Beregond, get your eyes ready to be shocked by the sentence!!

Beregond · 09-11-2011, 06:59 PM

Passing it on to Eönwë, with apologies. No one should have to witness such things.

Galadriel55 · 09-11-2011, 08:07 PM

It's getting close to my turn, I gotta get my scanner working...

Do I just send the pic to Hooky and Volo (next in line)?

Sending it to Hookbill should suffice, he'll pass it on to Volo. That's what the mod is for.

I find it hard to understand we've moved so little - it's literally ages since I wrote my sentence! The good thing about that is, it's going to be more fun to see the finished PT because I have absolutely no idea what's been happening in it.

It's mostly my fault. I keep forgetting the chase people up for it!

I'm on to it. Should be done by Wednesday, when I will have access to a scanner. Don't expect Picasso. Or, expect Picasso and all be disappointed.

Edit: change of heart. I took a picture. On it goes! (I'm sorry for the messiness, Volo)

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-13-2011, 10:40 AM

We are at an interesting point, here, guys! Adaneth is next on the list, but they haven't been on the Downs since 28th of January. Last time they came up for a turn there was no response. But there are no more drawers left.

As I see it, there are four options...

1) PM Adaneth anyway and give them a few weeks to respond.
2) Pick a new player to draw our last picture
3) Get Durelin to switch to drawing again or
4) Finish it now.

What do you guys think? I'll PM Adaneth now, asking if they're prepared to do a PT...

Beregond · 09-13-2011, 12:13 PM

Please don't wait weeks...
