MSPaint game sign up!

What is MSPaint game I hear you ask ?

Well, Webster's describes it as....

The game begins with a Game mod chosen Starting Image, Played by PM. Signup to either Describe or Paint. You either paint the 10 word description you receive or describe in 10 words the Paint you receive.

This process repeats itself over and over until the end (Think of the Telephone game in which one person whispers a message to another, which is passed through a line of people until the last player announces the message to the entire group, but with Paints!). The Game mod reveals the entire chain once complete. No artistic skill is required.

Examples of the game played previously can be found ----> here <

---

I will choose the starting image and PM it to the first describer.
The first describer than PM's his description to me and the person who is to be our first painter. The first painter than PM's his paint to me and the next describer and so on down the chain.

For hosting your images, try to use a website that is easy to access with more or less no signup. I use https://imgbb.com/ for this, but you can use whatever as long as there will be no issues with viewing/sharing images. Painters include a link to the image in their PM to me and the next describer.

Painters - You can use any form of paint program that you want. You can hand draw either. But the game is funnier in MSPaint due to the restrictions in its capabilities

Describers - You will have 10 words or less to describe the image that has been sent to you

Typically, we would give a person a 24-48 hour window to complete either task so the game doesnt run on forever. If you need an extension, I am very accommodating so let me know. Otherwise I will request a sub

As this is our first game, maybe we might try and reach 20 participants. That's 10 describers and 10 painters. If interest is lacking, we'll cut it shorter than that.

If you want to be in a particular place on the chain, you can request that specifically too and I can try to accomodate
i.e. early describer, late painter, etc. It might suit your schedule to choose one or the other

sullivlo

Early describing plz

Ectoplasm

Early painter please. Have played a similar game before and my truly terrible MS Paint skills must be seen to be believed.

sKeith

i'll try my hand at painter.

Green&Red

I have zero artistic skill, like zero, less than zero

So I’ll paint obviously

Deja Boo

you cc rikand , that is,



pm sent to: next_player; rikand


so both the next player and rikand get the pm, rikand gets his copy for reveal, without having to pm people himself.

One problem with all of this, they've turned off being able to send images in PMs at the moment and you can only PM one person at a time.

Clarabel

I'll do both

Or neither

sullivlo

So it’s kinda like a version of Chinese whispers (which is now called telephone because of cultural appropriation.)

Electric Nitwit

In please, sounds fun

Near the end would be ideal, won't be around much over the weekend, but anytime really.
I'd lean towards describer first time but happy to make up the numbers either way.

Cheers

Banjo

Love a game of 耳语. In.
Have to do this on my phone, don't have MS Paint. I'll us my chubby fingered wrong hand though.

Rikand

If they have turned off being able to send to more than 1 person at a time, then only send to me and I will forward to the next person in the list

Pretzill

This sounds like fun - in as painter.

sKeith

just tested, error: Too many recipients - you are attempting to send to 2 users but you are only allowed to send to 1 users.

They have, so, thats way we have to do it then.

Rikand

No timeline just yet. Hopefully they put it back to more than 1. Forum mods can still multi-pm. Feel free to use that if you need to (i.e. we can forward stuff on to multiple people).

Mollyb60

I'd love to play but I'll be away from tomorrow until Monday evening so I think I'll miss it. I'll read back with interest though.

You can only have 1. A D or a P

You only get 1 look at each chain and 1 contribution per chain. Its your choice whether you'd like to paint or describe

Some people can take time with their artistic creations. Check in when you're back and there might still be a space

For anyone who falls in love with this and likes RL games. This is a live version: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Big-Potato-Scrawl-Doodles-Godawful/dp/B01J5TFSLM

Have played a few times and it's HILARIOUS

Mollyb60

And if anyone is on Steam they can play Drawful which is part of the Jackbox Party Pack. I've spent many a night wetting myself laughing at the truly truly sh1te attempts some people make when trying to draw with their fingers on their phones.

Stick me down as a painter please!
Or I'll describe if all the painter slots are gone.

The intention with this game is that by the end, we keep as close as possible to the original picture. But that doesnt always happen

You will have a maximum of 48 hours to complete your turns, but hopefully you'll be much quicker than that

Rikand

Also, once you have completed your part. Please do not talk about your part or reveal any information about what you described or painted. Keep it all secret for the reveal thread
