Hey gang,
Click the spoiler to read about the game. Everyone is welcome to play!
If you've played the party game Telestrations, this concept will be familiar to you. If you used the website
Drawception (which is my inspiration), it will look familiar to you. Here's how it works:
A set number of players will take part. It can be any number really, though I'd limit the games to 12 maximum for the sake of timeliness. Everything will take place privately until a final reveal.
Someone will serve as the host. The first time I can do it. The host will assemble each participating player into a secret order, 1-12 (or however many). The host will contact Player 1 first:
1. Player 1 will write a caption
and send it to the host privately. It can be literally anything. Keep it safe for work though please.
2. The host will send that caption privately to Player 2. Player 2 will then draw a picture, perhaps in MS Paint or literally draw it and take a photo/scan, which depicts that caption. He or she will send that picture privately to the host.
3. The host will send that picture privately to Player 3. Player 3 will write a caption to describe that picture and send it privately to the host.
4. The host will send
that caption privately to Player 4. Player 4 will draw it.
etc until all players have participated.
When everyone is finished, the host posts everything publicly to show the players what nonsense they have come up with. We look, we laugh, we commend each other's artwork, and we play again (maybe with a new host).
Get it?
NOTE: DON'T WORRY IF YOU CAN'T DRAW. I CAN'T DRAW. WHO CARES? It's just for fun, do your best, and enjoy a creative outlet. This is not a contest and there are no winners.
Whaddya say? Check the poll.

At what pace will this game commence? Does it play out over a short span or could it stretch as long as is convenient for the players?

As long as folks need (within reasonable limits to prevent it from taking
crazy long). This is very casual.

Did you click the "view results" thing? Sometimes that locks it. Logging out and back in usually resolves the matter. If not, you can just tell me what your vote is.

I'd say the minimum for the game to be worth playing would be six. So let's get two more.

I'm going to randomize an order. Nothing should be posted in this thread (related to the game at least, but you can chat about whatever) until I provide a final reveal.

I forgot all about drawception. I loved it, until I got frustrated about not being able to draw nice things within the time limit on my dumb trackpad.

I'll just consider everyone currently signed up to be /in for the next one. If you want out just say so or click the poll. Remember G-Man too.
I'll play if someone else hosts, otherwise I can host again. It's very simple stuff.

it's crazy that the concept of mice ended up involved in the picture at both the start and the end, with no real bridge being invloved
