Buckwheat Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have nine sentences. I still want to hear from some regulars because I want to have some possible replacements at hand. Thank you all for playing, and be prepared for challenges. @rocksniffer @Pebble @TitanCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 On 7/5/2018 at 7:17 PM, Buckwheat said: I have three sentences already. They are all fairly ... abstract. So basically you are all allowed to go anywhere between "Rocksniffer bakes cookies" and "The poetic function projects the principle of equivalence from the axis of selection to the axis of combination". And if anybody can tell me whose that quote is and what it means without googling, they automatically win this game. I thought I'd enjoy reading linguistics and Poetics but I didn't, it was meh for me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Balerion Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I had the same experience when I first read a linguistics book. I had thought it would be about languages. It was probably something Chomskyian, but it's long ago and far away, so who knows. (Later I found out linguistics actually was about languages, at least sometimes.)

I knew there was a reason why I liked your posting down here in FG. I have to admit I have not read the whole thing either, but I did hear enough lectures about it and this definiton so many times. 8 hours ago, Count Balerion said: I had the same experience when I first read a linguistics book.

Lingustics is about languages, but it can be fairly theotetic. 3 hours ago, Castellan said: an academic ass with no real feeling for language. now it will be either (a) a famous poet or (b) you, in an essay, I suppose. eeek!

Buckwheat Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 So I just realised I had miscounted the sentences and I only have 8, not nine. Hope to get one more player ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Ok, great. Cat messaged me on the Facelessbook and said she was going to join. So as soon as I get her sentence, we are starting. Currently we have nobody as a replacement though, so please please everybody, don't ghost me and keep the deadlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB just told me is going to be away for some days in the middle of the game, so we will surely need somebody to fill in a round or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Anyway, everybody now has a sentence to draw. Deadline: Thursday, 12th July, 9 PM (Central Europe). It would be great if I have all the drawings on Thursday evening as I won't be able to send you the next task and organise anything on Friday. Have fun drawing. <- This does not represent me, this represents whichever co-player sent in a totally undrawable, weird, abstract sentence, of course. Player list is in the first post, will try to update and bold names when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
