[Game] Who knows if this will work...

[MHS]

If you're familiar with the game "Eat Poop, You Cat," I'm trying to create a version of that here.

Brian is going to post a sentence, in spoilers. I will use paint (next person to draw can use whatever you have) to draw a visual interpretation of the sentence, and then post that, in spoilers. The next person will write a sentence saying what they see in the drawing, in spoilers. Each person can only look at the spoiler that immediately precedes what they will be doing, no looking at spoilers that came above that, so if you plan to play, wait until you're ready to go and then only read the most recent spoiler. People may want to call that they'll go next to avoid issues. Once you've drawn or made a sentence, you can't again until that round is done. Next person draws that, next person writes...like the game telephone but with drawings and interpretations. We stop after a set number of turns, like 12 or so, and go back and look at how people interpreted things, and hopefully laugh a lot, and then start with a new sentence.

I can see there being problems with two+ people posting at once. I'm sure there are other problems I haven't anticipated. But I'm really bored, so I'm hoping it'll catch on. I've pre-asked my brother to post a sentence for me to draw so that hopefully it will sort of make sense.

[Brian]

Should I post this here or in the Forum Games forum?

[MHS]

Should I post this here or in the Forum Games forum?

Here for now and if it catches on, we'll ask for it to be moved?

[Brian]

Draw this:

Spoiler:

Monkey pays a stripper

[MHS]

Spoiler:

Next person has to write a sentence interpreting my drawing, WITHOUT reading Brian's sentence, and post it in spoilers....

[Isgrimnur]

Since it's open to anyone's participation, forum "rules" cover that it stays here. Forum Games is reserved for ones with a set player base to start. Contrast "Name that Movie" to Werewolf games.

[Ralph-Wiggum]

Should I post this here or in the Forum Games forum?

Is that the sentence we're supposed to draw?

[Brian]

I think as each new progression is posted somebody should "Call" their turn if they want to do the next one.

That way we avoid multiple postings.

So right now, nobody should be looking at the drawing MHS did. First somebody should post that they will take the turn (First come, first served) and then look at it and describe the picture (in a spoiler) and then whoever wants to take their turn can proceed to draw a picture from that description.

And so on...

[GreenGoo]

I'll take this one. brb.

edit: damn, this is harder than it looks. Sec.

Spoiler:

sub-earth creature pays Elizabeth Berkley to never make another movie

[MHS]

I'll take this one. brb.

edit: damn, this is harder than it looks. Sec.

My advice, don't overthink. Say what you see. Draw what you read. Some people will be very literal, some people will be less so and the combination can make for some awesome laughs.

[MHS]

OK, so now someone who hasn't already read Brian's or mine needs to call and then draw Goo's sentence.

[funnygirl]

Okay, I will take this one.

Spoiler:

And, yeah, this is hard.

[MHS]

And, yeah, this is hard.

It's not supposed to be hard!

OK, now someone who has read none of the other spoilers should look at funnygirl's drawing and post a spoilered sentence with what the drawing is.

[Ralph-Wiggum]

Ok, I'm on it.

Spoiler:

A non-fiction hot blond girl holding hands with, and introducing her to, a green chimpanzee.

[Jaymann]

Spoiler:

That green guy is actually Hugh Grant

[MHS]

And now someone who has read none of the other spoilers should look at Ralph Wiggum's sentence and post a spoilered drawing of what he's said. (I promise to quit spelling out each turn once people get the hang of it)

[Ralph-Wiggum]

Spoiler:

That green guy is actually Hugh Grant

Haha. I didn't realize that (spoiler about picture, so don't read if you want to play):

Spoiler:

Funnygirl's drawing said "Elizabeth Berkely". For the life of me I couldn't make out the last name.

[GreenGoo]

And, yeah, this is hard.

It's not supposed to be hard!

OK, now someone who has read none of the other spoilers should look at funnygirl's drawing and post a spoilered sentence with what the drawing is.

The problem is I was too specific in my sentence. It would work better with a little more flexibility and generality.

[MHS]

Spoiler about RW's sentence, but not part of the game:

Spoiler:

I'm shocked you got to chimpanzee, which is really close to the actual monkey. I thought it looked like Slimer from Ghostbusters.

[MHS]

And, yeah, this is hard.

There's a learning curve to it. It's easier on paper with everyone sitting in the room, passing the papers around. We've had some gut-busting, tears rolling times playing this but I'm not sure how well it will translate to this medium. But I'm bored, so it's worth a shot.

[Baroquen]

Yeah, not sure how close to the intended game this has been, but was a pretty funny thread so far.

[Teggy]

Isn't this Drawception? I don't know enough about the site to know if you can have private games.

[Hipolito]

My picture for Ralph's sentence:

Spoiler:

[Moat_Man]

My sentence for Hipolito's picture:

Spoiler:

Blonde woman beats up Kermit the Frog in bookstore

[Vorret]

This is all kind of awesome

[Lassr]

I'll take Moat Man's sentence, give me a minute.

Spoiler:

[stessier]

I'll take Lassr's pic.

Spoiler:

A girl murdered a frog with a sword in order to get the last copy of The Hunger Games from the shelf rather than be left with the only other novel called "A Book."

[stessier]

Didn't mean to kill the thread.

[MHS]

Didn't mean to kill the thread.

I didn't even realize it was still going, I thought it was a colossal flop. The additions since I last looked on Monday have been hilarious and awesome.

[tjg_marantz]

I got stessier's.

[MHS]

We need a sentence for tjg's and then we'll wrap up this one and someone can post a new sentence!

[MHS]

Yes, it is! Now I have a new thing to do as a timewaster, thanks. But it's still fun here if people want to do it, because everything's more fun with people you know.

[stessier]

I'm fascinated that

Spoiler:

All of the girls have had blonde hair. Even when it was not specifically mentioned what color it was.

Spoiler:

Yeah it's funny because in Draw Something, I always use blonde for girls and brown for boys unless it's someone specific or related to the word. Odd.

OK, that is hilarious. It's like Draw Something gone awesome.
