Pictophone

[JenniferL]

Also known as "Eat poop, you cat!" I don't know why.

 

The first player writes a sentence and PMs it to the second player. The second player draws a picture based on that sentence and PMs it to the third. The third player writes a caption for that picture, then PMs it to the fourth, who draws another picture and so forth. At the end of the cycle, the game moderator posts all the pictures and captions and we all giggle at how silly we are.

 

I was going to run this, but I'm too busy this week. Anyone else willing to take a shot?

[Alys Kinch]

i'd watch until i get the hang of things... but yeah, i've never heard of it.

[Haxorsist]

I've never heard of this either, but it sounds fun!

[Twitchy]

Twitch sign up!  :D

[Cadsuane]

I think it sounds fun, I'd play!

 

To confirm - No one PMs both the sentence/pic they received AND the sentence/pic they created, they only PM the thing they created, so the next person doesn't know what inspired it.

 

 

Person 1 --> Sentence only --> Person 2

 

Person 2 --> Picture of sentence only --> Person 3

 

Person 3 --> Caption for picture only --> Person 4

 

Person 4 --> New picture for caption only --> Person 5... etc.

[Barmacral]

Only question I have is... how do you draw the pictures?

[Cadsuane]

I suppose you could do them in whatever program you like. Don't nearly all computers come with some sort of drawing program, at least something simple like Paint?

 

Perhaps the moderator of the game can arrange to host finished pics for anyone who doesn't have their own photobucket/similar account.

[JenniferL]

Most people just draw them in paint. I did mine on paper and scanned it in.

 

And these boards do attachments, so you don't need to upload anything. Just make sure a copy gets to the game moderator.

[Thorum]

Is it mentioned in the pm who got it yet, so no one gets it twice?

 

And after how many people is the result to be displayed here?

[loki redfern]

this sounds like fun..from what i can gather, ill join in if you play

[GoodGrief]

I'll play. I'd volunteer to mod too if I wasn't in the Suras Hunt. Sounds like good, silly fun.

[Twitchy]

Take me off, I don't think I'd be able to be active enough...my activity is going down the drain :-/
