You guys seriously need to cut down on sentence length. I’ve had to let a lot go as there has been too many novellas to stop.

My apologies for any of mine. I suggest a maximum word number next game. It would make the chains mutate quicker.

:eek: you speak the truth.

On a scale from 1 to 10 how much do I, in particular, need to cut down on sentence length? (Just out of curiosity. And because feedbacks are important)

Total number of words used in the four sentences:

  1. BlackBear - 71
  2. Titan Cat - 95
  3. Helena - 99
  4. Pebble - 111
  5. Rhaenys - 125
  6. Tellus Explorer - 129
  7. Count Balerion (pre-final description rewrite) - 149
  8. Castellan - 224

Trying not to regularly exceed 30 words seems about right, but it really depends. Try to cut down on lengthy asides, especially if there is lots to cover in the picture as it is.

 

Generally, yours were pretty good, Rhaenys, except for that one splurge taking up over half your words.

Here is your scrambled sentences to decipher. Full reveal tomorrow evening:

  1. There is an exhibit of a jewelled medusa statue cordoned off in the Greek temple.
  2. One person is wearing a Guy Fawkes mask on the 5th of November and someone shouts Halloween is over while setting up Christmas lights in their front yard.
  3. The Disney version of the Red Wedding takes place on GFD and features cute singing-dancing woodland creatures who light fireworks; no one gets killed, and the only violence is a bunch of squirrels pelting people with nuts.
  4. A nasty looking little bat-like critter is thinking it would love to occupy a ram's body as it would be like  having a lovely relaxing fluffy onesie instead of leathery wings and a rudimentary spinal cord; three witches are casting a spell round a campfire to help the process while Rocksniffer looks on, a little worried as it is his nasty looking little bat-like critter, after all, and he likes it.
  5. In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.
  6. Hear now the words of the witches,
    Viserion trick or treating in the night,
    the oldest of gods are invoked here,
    This year Christmas is to be wight.
  7. A coven of Pictionary witches dances nude around a bonfire, from which wild TitanCat emerges from her egg, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of a TitanBird.
  8. Guy Fawkes and fellow Catholic plotter are arrested after lighting the fuse to blow up Christmas, by Ser Bolton-Halloween.
  9. A couple sit in the dark with the television off, pretending they are not at home to the hordes of greedy children ringing their bell for trick and treat.
  10. While all the other Pictionary players are drawing pictures about Hallowe'en and Christmas, TitanCat wishes Rocksniffer a happy belated birthday, and celebrates Pebble's big day!”
  11. Pebbles, TitanCat, Buckwheat, and -- is that me? -- are sitting around a campfire roasting jack o'lanterns and singing a holiday song, "The dragon who'd beheaded rocksniffer gave the singing witches a funny look while the weirwood glowered and the Night King decorated his Xmas tree.”
  12. Two ripped guys in patterned tees stand around a bonfire while two squirrels operate colorful fireworks.
  13. The blackbear, buckwheat, and pebbles are working on their pictionary drawings, and Rocksniffer is daydreaming about cake.

Fun statistics! Nicely done, HOC. ;)

Wow, you guys have a lot of bonfires here. And Guys Fawkeses (or whatever the plural is). I am taking the right to try to connect your sentences (I did not see any of the pictures or sentences in-between, so am probably wrong with just about everything, particularly because ... you have so many bonfires!)

Oh my. That was an awful depiction of me, anybody would have turned it into a crazy cat lady. 

Anyway, :lmao: I’m just great, aren’t I? 

And now I will know who put me into a sentence in the first place. 

 

Eta *viewed reveal*: 

okay I didn’t actually turn myself into a crazy cat lady, other players didn’t pick up on that awful first depiction of me either (@Count Balerion shame on ya, pal, what kind of a picture is that of pretty little me, I look better even in real life :lol: ) of course it was going to get distorted.  /selfobsessionfest

And look, I was in Pebble’s chain, what a surprise!
