The BlackBear Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Welcome to the 25th game of Telephone Pictionary! Well now that we were so rudely interrupted shall we get going again?Thanks to the Host of the previous game Helena! Never been here before? Have no fear we'll only lightly dismember you, all new folk are welcome. Don't think you have to be able to draw to play, or even be able to describe stuff accurately, that's part of the fun. Check out the results of our previous games, I'm sure it'll cheer you up. Game Flow: Everyone signed up should start by PMing me with a sentence.Please title your PM's as '*board name* - Pictionary' or something similar to help me keep track of everything. If you already have a PM chain with me, you can use that regardless of the title. When the game starts, each of the original sentences will be sent out to a different player. This player will have approximately 72 hours (3 days) to draw the sentence and send me a PM with a link to the picture.At the end of those 72 hours, the sentence will be sent to a third person, who hasn't seen anything from that chain before. This person will have approximately 48 hours to send in a sentence summarizing the picture. I hope we get at least 9 players, so we can have 9 rounds. If more people want to participate, that is no problem, the more the merrier. There is a scoring system based upon the old F1 system: 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. It means nothing and is only for my own fun. If you cannot meet a deadline, please notify me as soon as you've received the sentence (or picture) - or, better yet, tell me before you receive one. I will find somebody else and send it there. I will also do this automatically if you have not completed the round by the deadline (usually 72 hours for pictures and 48 hours for sentences). Somebody who consistently fails to meet deadlines will be kicked out of the game at my discretion. Especially somebody who doesn't announce that they cannot meet a deadline beforehand. I will update this opening post to indicate what round we are on and when deadlines are. Reveal hidden contents Picture/sentence standards: Any drawing program--Photoshop, Flash, MS Paint--will do. Drawing pictures by hand and scanning/taking a photo of them will also do. Basically, anything will do as long as I can see it.Having said that, please draw everything from scratch. You can use Google Images as a reference, but don't paste other people's pictures into your own.In images, words are completely banned! Letters and symbols are allowed/banned at my discretion. But try not to use them except when absolutely vital.Please don't intentionally mislead anybody. Do the most accurate non-legalistic picture that you can. The chain will find a way to mutate anyway.Pictures shouldn't be too small, which basically means as long as I can see them and they can be viewed in their entirety on one page, you're fine.Pictures should be the right way up (this may seem obvious but it has happened, most hosting sites can rotate pictures, and most image viewing software can too.)Photographs are best saved as JPGs; otherwise, if in doubt, you should probably save as a PNG. Do not save as a BMP under any circumstances or I'll have to ask you to reformat it before sending it onward, and nobody wants that. If you're using MS paint, remember to save your pictures as .jpg NOT keep the .bmp saving.Please be mindful of where you upload your pictures to. Tinypic deletes its pictures without warning. Imgur is probably your best bet (imgur.com).No Photobucket. It links to the gallery and not the pictures. Images hosted on Photobucket will not be accepted.Link to the photo. Not the Gallery.When you upload, don't save it under a name that will hint at its origins. This is something else that you'll need to reformat over.Okay, on to sentences. Keep it to one sentence and don't be too legalistic about what you are summarizing.When you describe a picture, the general idea is more important than the specifics. Reveal hidden contents Miscellaneous: Please don't talk to other players about the sentences/pictures you got. If somebody tells you anything about a chain you haven't seen yet, please let me know.I will note in-thread if somebody is behind.If you haven't sent a link in within 48 hours (but not the full 72), I might send you a prod (might if I remember). Other actions may be taken if you're inactive for the full round.Please use 1 PM conversation for this game, otherwise my PM cannot hold a new conversation for every turn and/or thoughts on the game.

Pebble thats Stubby Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I could suggest we move to spam central? at least for now?

The BlackBear Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 How many previous games have we lost? Two? Three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The last one that I copied ended on 26th July. Was there one in August or was that when Neumond wanted to start one and then vanished? Then there was Pebble's speed one (must have been in September because I still have the PM of her inviting me to that). The last one was Helena's, but maybe I am forgetting something in between?Is the next round drawing or describing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BlackBear Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Next round will be drawing, um just to confuse you all I will actually be away this weekend. It's kind of a last minute thing, sorry to be a pain. I will attempt to have sentences out tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one was Helena's, but maybe I am forgetting something in between?Is the next round drawing or describing?Peb's had her game the beginning of September, as I remember the last "race" between me and Rhaenys (with the red and blue car drawings) I handed in slowly, as I was attending a talk about climate change the week before uni started. Before Peb's was Neumond's aborted game...but surely we didn't go a whole month without Pictionary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Didn't we have a game just before this one? A Halloween game? Helena, didn't you host it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksniffer Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Until we know what the hell is going on, we cannot reasonably continue the game. You should all have PM's from me, with ways to contact via email. I won't conduct the game by pure email, this is just to let folk know what is going on generally. Please email me so I know yours. Look how adult I was here, I didn't day fuck once.this is sad...since day fucking is really cool...and saves energy over night fucking because you don't have to turn on the lights Peb's had her game the beginning of September, as I remember the last "race" between me and Rhaenys (with the red and blue car drawings) I handed in slowly, as I was attending a talk about climate change the week before uni started. Before Peb's was Neumond's aborted game...but surely we didn't go a whole month without Pictionary? yes speed pictionary was sept and helena's hallowe'en extravaganza which included Harry Potter naked has been forever lost...unless you go to my imgur page where all my pic are and i found this...i am batting a 1000 this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Didn't we have a game just before this one? A Halloween game? Helena, didn't you host it?yeah, we had that one. I meant the gap Bucky has between July 26th and Peb's game. Neumonds non-starter would account for some of that, I suppose it's just a matter of when Peb's started her game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pebble thats Stubby Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I still have the results and chains for the speed pictionary. I keep my own record on my googledrive then I can send stuff out no matter where I am. I just need to re-write the results post. So its not lost lost. just temp lost. I'm not going to re-write that until we know we are sticking with this board on this load. I know there is a chance anything we write now will be lost again and we will go back to the old version. also I read that if we keep this one then there is some plan to make the old version temp available as read only, which would be a lot easyier.

Buckwheat Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 3rd September, so yes, the whole August was spent planning for Neumond's game and then waiting for her.I am not getting notifications for this thread, which I am following. Not amused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
