I agree with Lommy.

Well, I think with so many people as we have now, it does not matter whether there are twelve or ten people between your two turns. Depends on whether you think it's better or worse if you are still between the same people.

I don't see it a problem if someone is between the same people on both rounds as there is both the round of writing and the round of drawing so the rounds are reasonably different anyway.
But trying to build up a more "randomised" order which still retained enough people in between one's second turn would mean doing some work...

Ah, indeed, I thought about it only now that in fact if you wanted to change the people, you'd have to also combinate it with who writes/draws, which makes it really hard... well, I think unless Lommy wants to try her logic skills, I'd leave the second round as it is.

Hmmm... yes, I think it's best to leave it how it is.
I'll send the first sentence in a few minutes... *evil grin* People can still sign in. (In case no one really wants the last spot - or three last spots or whatever - I have a backup player, so no worries.)

Finduilas has induced me to join the ranks of madness.
Count me in.

I've sent my sentence mere minutes after receiving it. You see, I'm not like these other people who have the preposterous idea of having a 'life'.

Having a life? Then you obviously don't know how long I was thinking about this and how long it took me to draw it...

I'm going to be gone all next week, from Sunday the 10 to Sunday the 17, so if it comes my turn during that time, you'll know why I'm not getting onto it...it's cause I'll be away.
Just wanted to let you all know.

Exactly my thoughts as well! That's just plain ridiculous even thinking about drawing the sentence I got last night... Well, I'll have to come up with something.

I often wonder, when beginning a PT, whether there will be anything that will remain in it throughout. I'm not sure how often one does and it is never the thing I think / hope it will be.

The game is moving at quite a speed... I won't be able to draw anything next week, so please don't send me the phrase if you get so far then. Change the order, please, to get things going quicker.

If we get to your turn before Saturday or Sunday next week, I'll swap your places with someone.

Sorry it's taking so long to do the picture -- I'm sick, and have a 20 pg honors paper to write, and then there were my WW obligations - I'll get to it as soon as possible, though.

Wow! Already up to Macalaure!?
Best start the mental preparation for the soon incoming insanity, I suppose.

Now suppose somebody decided to randomly write something crazy that had nothing to do with the picture they'd received. What would happen then?

If I were moding it, I'd ask said trouble maker to change it and not be so silly. I hope Lommy would do the same.

How's the picture coming along, Folwren? I hope it's REALLY bizarre!

Have you paused the game, Lommy, or just not updated the list?
Sorry, I'm getting impatient!!!

Well, I'm waiting for Folwren to send in her picture... but of course there are technical difficulties as well...

Folwren was busy Friday and Saturday, and then went and got ill on Sunday, so it may be a while. But last time I saw the picture she was advancing beautifully, so she might be able to scrape it together for you soon.

Let's hope she will... she's had it for almost two weeks...

I just PMed Folwren and asked about the picture... let's hope she reads it and makes haste if she hasn't finished the picture yet. I think we will be able to move on soon and then we're already halfaway through this very silly round...

For Folwrens sake, would it be okay if some of the absurd details were left out? I know she has at least half of the sentence in the picture, would you be satisfied with that? If so, she could probably get it to you Sunday at the latest. (At least I hope so)
And really, to be fair, this forum mess up took a whole week, so you should say she's only had it one week.
