That was a nice picture, Pitch. I like it. What program did you use to make it? I won't believe you if it's Paint. It's too nice and neat for Paint.

Either you used something else, or you have Super Paint Powers.

You can start disbelieving right away - it is Paint (plus a background texture I found somewhere on the web, and a little tweaking with IrfanView, but mostly just Paint). Using a tablet helps, but even with a mouse you can draw quite decently if you do it under zoom and then reduce the size, which makes everything look smoother and less pixelly. No superpowers involved.

Eönwë · 10-03-2011, 02:03 PM

Don't know if I'm meant to have received the quick game one, but I haven't yet.

Galadriel55 · 10-03-2011, 04:00 PM

I sent the sentence quite a while ago...

I can send it again...

Oddwen · 10-03-2011, 11:06 PM

Thaaaaat's weird. I'll send it, G55.

Eönwë · 10-09-2011, 10:17 AM

Sorry, I've had quite a busy week. But it's done now.

Eönwë · 10-15-2011, 07:08 AM

*bump*

So where are we now?

Oddwen · 10-15-2011, 09:23 AM

We're waiting for Sally to have access to a computer.

Beregond · 10-19-2011, 11:52 AM

Woah, wasn't expecting to be called so soon! You can sign me up for the quick game as well, I'm usually fairly quick on the tournaround, but if you already have enough I'll be content to just observe.

Game ONE drawing coming soon, I hope. I'll try not to take too long. It's a nice, simple sentence. That must be a benefit of drawing early in the game.

Oddwen · 10-19-2011, 12:24 PM

Righty-o, Beregond, I have added you. (Write-y o, heh heh)

Umlauts are important when usernames are concerned!

Eönwë · 10-24-2011, 04:10 PM

The quick game is finally getting to the last few!

Galadriel55 · 10-24-2011, 05:50 PM

Just two more people left!

Beregond · 10-24-2011, 08:37 PM

Drawing sent! Sorry guys, meant to do it faster.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-25-2011, 02:39 AM

Does it mean we have finished the fast game? (I think it hasn't been updated since I got it, I've done mine already about a week ago.)

'Twould appear so.

Oddwen · 10-25-2011, 08:19 AM

Blind Guardian won't be able to get to the internet until Saturday, so unless we can get an additional someone to draw and trade places with her, it will be finished this weekend.

Beregond · 11-02-2011, 12:26 PM

Game TWO is finished!

A nearby Pitchwife who was coating his wife in pitch heard and was inspired to draw this:

Galadriel55 saw his drawing in the pitch and told her friends Galadriel1, Galadriel2, Galadriel3, Galadriel4, Galadriel5, Galadriel6, Galadriel7, Galadriel8, Galadriel9, Galadriel10, Galadriel11, Galadriel12, Galadriel13, Galadriel14, Galadriel15, Galadriel16, Galadriel17, Galadriel18, Galadriel19, Galadriel20, Galadriel21, Galadriel22, Galadriel23, Galadriel24, Galadriel25, Galadriel26, Galadriel, Galadriel27, Galadriel28, Galadriel29, Galadriel30, Galadriel31, Galadriel32, Galadriel33, Galadriel34, Galadriel35, Galadriel36, Galadriel37, Galadriel38, Galadriel39, Galadriel40, Galadriel41, Galadriel42, Galadriel43, Galadriel44, Galadriel45,Galadriel46, Galadriel47, Galadriel48, Galadriel49, Galadriel50, Galadriel51, Galadriel52, Galadriel53, Galadriel54 and Spam that:

Unfortunately, Eönwë sent his note down the ditch where it flowed to the sea. Fortunately, it was found by the Sea Witch. Unfortunately, Aganzir the Sea Witch had no particular love for the grey wizard and forwarded this message to him in hopes to confuse him.

Gandalf received the note in relatively short order. Upon reading it, he was observed to roll his eyes and crumple the paper before throwing it away. Sally, the observer, smoothed the note out and attempted to interpret what she read there.

A visiting Legate managed to purchase a few seconds' glance at the result, and he sent back this description to his lord and master.

Word has it that upon seeing the picture, Beregond was seen to run through the city in nothing but a towel screaming:

Pitchwife · 11-04-2011, 04:49 PM

Wonderful! Seeing this finished was ample consolation for being D1-lynched in WW the other day.
Kudos to G55 for correctly interpreting my highly abstracted rendition of Thorin & Company (I suppose the colour-coding helped, though; see, Mr Jackson?). I'm impressed by Eönwë's blackboard demonstration - you'll do well in physics. Further applause goes to Legate for bringing up chess and BG for adding Star Wars to the mix.
Lovely game, can't wait for the big one!

Edit: xed with Pitch. You show PJ the way to do it!

Beregond · 11-05-2011, 11:46 AM

That was a fun little round! Some nice illustrations.

Were Sally and Guardian comparing techniques?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 11-05-2011, 02:19 PM

It was a brilliant round, all the work was just great. I really like all the maths stuff (brilliant thing, and it stayed there for quite some time!), and especially kudos to Pitch for making the effort with all the colors for the Dwarves (and Thorin's!).

Aganzir · 11-05-2011, 03:54 PM

Hehehe. This was nice. I didn't know Pitch draws so well though!

How's it going with the main game?

Take a photo of your picture. That's what I did when I drew and had no working scanner around.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 11-08-2011, 06:22 AM

Finally my picture is off. I'm really sorry for holding up the game for so long.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 11-10-2011, 10:48 AM

What is wrong with you, Pitch?

Pitchwife · 11-10-2011, 12:37 PM

I knew you'd like it, Legate.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-15-2011, 05:20 AM

I stayed up later than first intended, so that I could draw my picture and keep this game at a decent pace. The result was that I missed my morning classes on the Weimar Republic. . . I hope my sacrifice is appreciated.

Also, I hope Hookbill gets a severe beating with a banana.
