    Microsoft Paint (formerly Paintbrush, not to be confused with the Mac OS X application, Paintbrush) is a simple raster graphics editor that has been included with all versions of Microsoft Windows.

    Auto, Onshuh, imagine a chinese whispers and every other person reads the description of the previous picture and paints based on the words used to describe how the person sees the image.

    What? Purple octopus? No, that's not a euphemism. 'Inspired' is.

    Can someone actually explain exactly how this paint works? I is confused.
    Like if you have to wait for each picture to be painted before you can paint the next, then surely you would be celebrating Christmas by then?
    Can someone do a quick Boards MS Paint for Dummies please?

    Trust me you don't want to know Leggie. You really don't want to know.:eek: Don't even PM me as that means I'll keep the house up and Mrs G will take out her gun to kill the bitch.....(ends with an S.) This is a nice spot, but there are weirdos about the place.:eek:

    I've done Tremors and I'm moving onto "Stan and Ollie". Looking forward to this one as I'm a massive Laurel and Hardy fan. Couch and living room to myself.

    Ok so the game runner chooses a starting picture. Let's say a funky rainbow with a duck flying over it. He/she sends that to the first 'describer' by PM. The describer has to .. well.. describe it, in ten words and send back to the game runner. So they might say "a bright rainbow, clouds, flying duck..blah blah". The first 'painter' receives this description by pm from the game runner and has to paint it. So they do their best job at painting but inevitably the next describer, upon receiving the painting by pm from the game runner, misinterprets pieces of the composition or highlights the wrong bit or whatever and might describe something like "strips of colourful ribbon, flying dog, angry clouds". Maybe that ends up looking like a pride flag to the next describer and the following painter includes a parade and before you know it we're at the final painting and it looks nothing like the original.

    Each painter and describer only sees what came directly before them. No one but the first describer knows the starting picture and it's not until the reveal thread that we all see the full chain of pictures and descriptions.

    It can take a while with describes usually being super fast and painters taking one or two days on average each but sometimes a little more.

    I don't know if I've explained this well at all but yeah it's chinese whispers with pictures and it's hysterical for some reason!

    I think it's an in joke between some posters, rather than an accusation.

    Honestly, there should be time out zones in work for nap attacks!

    It seems to go remarkably quick - the last game I hosted (with 12 describers and 12 painters) was completed within a fortnight.
