I agree. If there are enough people, I prefer singles.

Aganzir · 01-08-2013, 07:42 AM

Singles it is then.

We're almost done!

Gil-Galad · 01-09-2013, 10:03 AM

As always, if there is a spot for me I am in.

Aganzir · 01-09-2013, 11:02 AM

Of course there is, it's nicer to end with a drawing anyway. Except a message in a day or two.

Eönwë · 01-15-2013, 05:31 PM

Almost there!

Aganzir · 01-16-2013, 04:06 PM

Here we are! Three and a half weeks since I sent the first sentence:

In spite of their unquestionable reputation as scientists, some dwarves are not convinced that an apple a day will keep the doctor away.

Eönwë must away ere break of day:

Once more Oddwen opens the door:

Quote:

Agricultural science is not a popular or well-understood subject in Dwarven education, and is slightly less interesting than foreign fashion.

Lommy was as wise as a wizard, and as kind as summer:

A confused Beorn and Gandalf look on at a very boring farming scene.

Diggy, diggy hole, Hookbill is digging a hole:

Quote:

When Gandalf wanted a wife to join him on his farm (which may have infringed on copyright), his advert had asked for “Bear ears and a beard”. The results were exactly what you would expect.

At last Legate will reveal himself to the Jedi:

Aganzir the Bearded and her well-dressed henchmen attended the uncloaking of the newest McGandalf's, only to find the establishment overrun with chickens.

Of wind G55 sang, and wind there came and in the branches blew:

Aganzir · 01-16-2013, 04:07 PM

So in the end Greenie will be what she will be:

McGandalf's critically acclaimed (and Fili-approved) fried chicken takes over Narnia.

Rune sat alone on his seat of stone:

Nog's going home again, water-lilies bringing:

Quote:

Faramir comes out from the closet as MC "Faramir Cubbler" and opens a fast food chain in Ithilien. Feeling the competition, Gandalf uncloacks finally revealing himself to be none other but the one and only MC "Bearded Bird", and challenges MC FC in to a freestyle battle.

Gil-Galad cuts down trees, he eats his lunch:

Aaand here's a special extra treat from Gil - freestyle rapping!

It's MC Bearded Bird, the name everyone has feared.
What else do I got to say? when I make my Hobbits go Hey!
Nice forest you have- Oh wait.
Nice city on the river you have- Oh wait.
What's the matter MC FC? Daddy issues possibly?
How is the House of Healing? More like the House of sucking.
I know that doesn't rhyme, but I'm a freakin' Wizard.
When I uncloak, I break space and time!

Response:

This is MC Faramir Cubbler, I'm a mean mother fubbler.
When you see my Rangers, you know that you're in danger!
With all your uncloaking about, no wonder the Hobbits never go out.
But here's the secret, I'm outta the closet.
Wanna makeout?

Gil-Galad · 01-16-2013, 04:20 PM

My sentence was insane, and I can see our group insanity is the result of this masterpiece.

I was thinking of the raps (and partially singing it) in the shower, everyone needs more freestyle raps in their day.

Eönwë · 01-16-2013, 04:21 PM

Wow, that took an interesting turn!

Needless to say, I loved this round.

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-16-2013, 04:25 PM

That was made of crazy juice!!

Eönwë tried so hard to turn this down a Doctor Who road. I appreciate that.

Legate's picture was a thing of beauty! I love the bear ears and Agan's ridiculous nose. I also like how they were captured in the picture.

Greenie's sentence cracked me up! Fried chicken taking over Narnia would be a thing terrible to behold!

Rune's Gandalf was perfect!

Well, I was hoping that everyone would get at least one reference there.

edit: Also, in case anyone's curious, I went for Angerthas Moria, not Erebor.

I kept chuckling to myself every time somebody sent me their work, but I truly and seriously cracked up at your rap. It's fantastic!

Thank you everyone who played, I enjoyed this round a lot.

Oddwen · 01-18-2013, 07:30 PM

You guys. I love you guys.

Indeed.

Greenie, I want to give you a special mention for not succumbing to insanity when writing about my picture.

Everyone's picture/sentence was really fun!

My favorite moment was probably the LOTR/A Farmer and His Wife mash-up.

Aganzir · 03-10-2013, 07:35 PM

Nearly two months. Who, apart from me, fancies playing again? And does someone want to step in and mod, or shall I do it again?

Galadriel55 · 03-10-2013, 08:35 PM

I think that by this point I could be signed in by default.

Blind Guardian · 03-18-2013, 12:14 AM

Are you guys doing another one?

Aganzir · 03-18-2013, 04:59 AM

Yes.

Playing so far:
G55

Thinlómien · 03-22-2013, 06:15 AM

I want to play! I can even mod if no one else wants to, but if I get to choose I'll just play. Where is everyone???

Aganzir · 03-22-2013, 12:45 PM

Good timing - I was just today going to send a single sentence to G55 and ask her to draw a picture.

Aganzir · 05-13-2013, 12:42 PM

You are in.

I randomized the list further by changing Legate's place because it's unlikely he'll check the Downs during the time I would've given him for drawing his picture.

Nogrod · 05-13-2013, 01:24 PM

Wait! Wait!

Me too! Please?

Oddwen · 05-13-2013, 10:15 PM

Kitanna · 05-14-2013, 05:47 AM

I'd like to play. It's been a while.

satansaloser2005 · 05-17-2013, 09:01 AM

Oh, crap. I haven't had mobile access to the Downs and just now got the PM from Agan. Is there any way I could convince someone to switch me spots? I didn't even realize we'd started, and I simply don't have time right now. I'm ever so sorry.

Aganzir · 05-17-2013, 09:40 AM

Aww it's okay - it did take this game quite a while to start. I'll move you to the end, and even if you don't have mobile access by then, no worries.
