Moar MS Paint!

    Hey everyone! Have you ever wanted to put limits on the number of words you can use to describe something? Or have you ever stopped and thought...MS Paint really is my expressive medium of choice?

    Well if you have (really??) this game is definitely for you!

    And if you haven't this game is definitely for you too! :D

    This will be a standard game of Paint where we start with one image and see where we end up. Hopefully there is some appetite for it.
    Please indicate whether you want to paint, describe or will do either. We can get going once there are a decent number of sign ups.


    The Rules:

    I will send the starting image to the first describer. The first describer than PM's their description to me and I send it to the person who is to be our first painter. The first painter than PM's their paint to me, I sent it to 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 must include a link to the image in their PM to me.

    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.

    Yes yes yes I do enjoy these.

    Painter or word mangler, either is fine.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,515 ✭✭✭aaronjennings


    Excellent

    I painted in the last one, so would prefer to describe this time, but happy with either option


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,951 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    Describer please :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,369 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Oh, missed this, I'm in :)

    Happy with either. I'd have to draw on my phone with my fat fingers so it would be particularly bad, mind ;)

    Me too - what's that about?

    Sorry folks, planned to get this running last week but was a surprisingly busy week!

    As we have an odd number of sign ups, we're going to start this off slightly different. I have a picture chosen but instead of sending that to our first person to describe, I will be getting in on the action and sending a 10 word description to our first painter. The running order is below. Let me know if anyone has any issues with it. Each person gets around 48 hours to complete their task but obviously some take a little more or less. Last time, it took about a week and a half to complete so I'd say this'll be similar.

    PAINTER DESCRIBER
    pretzill trigger
    Davetherave Homer
    fixXxer bolgbui
    twirlagig AaronJ
    DejaBoo Clarabel
    sKeith y0ssar
    ENitwit BuileB
    s1ippy Mamof4
    tusk
