Paper Telephone. - Page 46 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 07-14-2012, 10:08 PM

I didn't realise that I was so close to the end...

It was just Paper Telephone as usual until ridiculously detailed naked Bard showed up. As we sure that so much chest hair is family friendly?

Aganzir · 07-16-2012, 10:09 AM

Great.

I cracked up at Eönwë's trollface troll, and even more at Legate's decision to make him Nogrod.

Greenie's pic is really beautiful - something you wouldn't expect in Paper Telephone, as Legate said.

Rikae's picture is terrific! It's so... awkward!

And Nog's Shasta and Kath are brilliant, as well as Eönwë's interpretation of the picture.

I love TGEW's picture and her Hookbill Half-Cats.

Next round, anyone?

Why, thank you. I liked my pouncing Hookbill the best, I couldn't help but giggle when I pasted his head on that cat.

I'm totally up for the next round! The good news for me is that I think I've finally been able to download the right scanning programmes for my printer onto my computer. I'm terrible with Paint.

MCRmyGirl4eva · 09-04-2012, 08:28 AM

Signing up!

Blind Guardian · 09-05-2012, 12:37 PM

More Paper Telephone? Count me in!

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 09-14-2012, 11:46 PM

If we wanted to start up another round of Paper Telephone soon, I am willing to mod.
Here are the wights who expressed interest already (not including myself):

Oddwen · 09-15-2012, 12:26 AM

I would like to sign up, please

Count me in, honey! (And love your Title by the way, only noticed it now!)

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-15-2012, 03:33 AM

I am in as well

Legate of Amon Lanc · 09-15-2012, 05:51 AM

Sign me up as well, please!

Nogrod · 09-15-2012, 05:59 AM

Me too.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 09-15-2012, 05:48 PM

Here's the new list. How many people usually play, twenty? We have ten now, so more people could sign up.
Galadriel55
Aganzir
MCRmyGirl4eva
Blind Guardian
Oddwen
Sally
Nog
Greenie
Rune
Legate

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-16-2012, 05:28 AM

I don't think it would be a great loss if you chose to have less participants than normally.

I think you can even start and eventually add people on the run, it will take a while before it reaches them anyway.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 09-16-2012, 12:32 PM

All right, that is a good idea. I will come up with the sentence and start later today.

Galadriel55 - draw
Aganzir - write
MCRmyGirl4eva - draw
Blind Guardian - write
Oddwen - draw
Sally - write
Nog - draw
Greenie - write
Rune - draw
Legate - write

If one more person signs up, then we can play doubles and everyone will get to write and draw, but they can sign up anytime during game play and I'll add them to the end.

Galadriel55 · 09-17-2012, 04:01 PM

Whoa, just came back and saw the PM with the sentence in my inbox. I might take a day or two drawing it with all the things I have to sort out. I just didn't expect th PT to start so suddenly.

That's okay. I'll give you two or three days before I crack down on you... like a mod.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-17-2012, 04:17 PM

Agh! If it's not too late, I'd like to join, please!

I'd be happy to add you to the game, if you don't mind going last. You 'liked' my post about the game on Facebook, but you never told me whether or not you wanted to play. I didn't want to sign you up if you didn't actually want to play this round.

And now with a Hookbill:

Galadriel55 - draw
Aganzir- write
MCRmyGirl4eva - draw
Blind Guardian - write
Oddwen - draw
Sally - write
Nog - draw
Greenie - write
Rune - draw
Legate - write
Hookbill (Half-Cat) - draw

Just shifted all my work aside to do the most important thing in the world aside from playing ww - drawing PTs! It'll be ready for tomorow.

Fantastic! You know the drill: just send it to me when you're done.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 10-08-2012, 10:07 PM

Sorry about the wait, folks. I went camping over the weekend and was fairly busy before then. I was not able to check the Downs until now. I am going to send Sally's sentence off to Nog after this post. The game is actually going along fairly quickly, or so it seems when on is the mod.

Thinlómien · 10-16-2012, 04:02 PM

Would it be possible to sign up still?

Galadriel55 · 11-03-2012, 10:17 AM

Where exactly are we right now?

Nogrod · 11-03-2012, 01:12 PM

I just came by to finally check the sentence so as to finally draw it today/tomorrow...

I have been extra-busy but will send it forwards this weekend.

Sorry about that.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 11-04-2012, 05:51 PM

I am finally sending [B]Nog's picture to Greenie/B].

Lommy, you certainly may join.

MCRmyGirl4eva · 11-05-2012, 01:25 PM

This is tedious... I'm so impatient!

Aganzir · 11-06-2012, 09:19 AM

The good thing about rounds that take long is that you've forgotten what you've written or drawn before we are halfway through.

Hahaha! So true.....

Galadriel55 · 11-07-2012, 08:33 PM

I think that the good thing in general about PT is that you don't even have to pay attention to it when it's not your turn. You think about it for a couple days when it's your turn and then you can forget about it until the end. It's immensely fun and requires the smallest commitement from you.

That is indeed a lovely thing about Paper Telephone. Unless you're the mod, that is.

This is the reason why I missed a round of Taters to Taters. I forgot about it for a day or two and all of a sudden Boro was Facebooking me, and I was too late.

Eönwë · 11-20-2012, 01:57 PM

Any chance I could get in on this at this point?

I would be more than happy to add you, but I'd like to end on draw, and you would be write. If anyone else would like to join too, I will add both of you. I'll post something on the Downs group on Facebook.l

EDIT:
Apparently I did not add Lommy to the list. Now we don't need anyone. I am daft.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 12-04-2012, 02:30 PM

Guess what, guys? We're almost done! I need one more sentence and one more picture, and then they'll all be in and I'll post the completed game on the thread. Until then, you guys will just have to preoccupy yourselves with something else. This may be done by Christmas. Won't that be nice?

Galadriel55 · 12-04-2012, 04:27 PM

Nice holiday cheer, certainly.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 12-12-2012, 12:06 PM

It's all done, guys! Just give me an hour or so to organise my thoughts and all of this mess, and it will be posted today.

EDIT: Apparently I deleted G55's picture and my first sentence. That is the only thing I have left to retrieve. Thanks for waiting.
