    So maybe you have some time to spare and want to test out your artistic skills. Or maybe you feel like you haven't really given a good description lately. If so you are in the right place.

    Keeping this one simple. No fancy extras. You'll get a picture to describe or a description to paint. Choose your own painting tool, MS Paint, crayons, whatever you fancy. Let me know if you have a preference to paint or describe or if you're happy to do either. We'll get it going when we have a decent chain.

    Same for me, if that's ok? (But you can put me back to describer if you end up with too many painters!)

    Going to leave it open another couple of days, all sign ups welcome :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    So we have Clara on board too (woohoo). Going to sort out the order and kick this off over the weekend :D

    Still taking sign ups :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,627 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Throw my name into the describer list if you need any more :)

    Don't think I'll have time to paint at the moment


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Either please!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    Ok so we have 8 links now! I randed out the pairings so if anyone has any problems with the order, let me know and we can move people around:

    Decriber Bolgbui41
    Painter Pretzill
    Decriber twirlagig
    Painter Grumpylumpy
    Decriber Mamof4
    Painter Baggly
    Decriber Kolido
    Painter Homer
    Decriber Clara
    Painter Aaron
    Decriber yossarian
    Painter sKeith
    Decriber ElectricNitwit
    Painter Fixxxer
    Decriber Trigger
    Painter BuileBeag




    A quick reminder of the rules: I will send the starting image to the first describer. The first describer than PM's their description to me and the person who is to be our first painter. The first painter than PM's their paint to me and the next describer and so on down the chain.

    For hosting your images https://imgbb.com/ is good, but you can use whatever you want as long as there are 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 or you can hand draw.

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

    Everyone will have a 24-48 hour window to complete either task; with 8 links that means the reveal will be in about 2 weeks.

    Ooh, I've never done this before - could I maybe go a little further down the chain? Or does it make much of a difference?

    It won't make much of a difference as either way you will get a picture that you can only use 10 words to describe and you won't know anyone else's description until the reveal...that said, if you want to swap with a later describer that is cool.

    Here's one of the earlier games as a pointer...
    https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2058033151

    It started with this...

    The first describer then said...

    So aspiewriter had a good shot with this and came up with the following description:

    "two cats, dancing, pub, guy in white t-shirt, lady, pink"

    Which led to...

    Nah, keep it as it so - when it goes wrong I can blame both my new-ness and Pretzill for misinterpreting what I'm sure will be a beautifully precise description :)
