Pictionary!
« on: March 18, 2009, 08:39:01 am »
Everyone knows pictionary, and this is the forum game version!

The rules are simple, I PM one person something to draw about (like a phrase or something), they post the picture in the thread, then everyone tries to guess what the phrase or something was. The drawer is allowed to edit and redraw his/her picture as much as they want.

I'm not sure how to handle the turns. It could be in a sequence 1-person-after-the-other type, or a winner-gets-to-pick type.

There will be a scoreboard for people that manage to guess correctly.

I'll get this show on the road if this is shown enough interest.

You might as well just use iSketch... It'd be faster, easier, and you can just gather everyone at a particular time to play in a custom room.

Im in.

webadict... That's fine but we almost never manage to get together for something... So I'm cool with having  a slow paced pictionary.  And chaoticjosh is always a great moderator.

Except when you play it with some really competitive and excitable friends/relatives... Then it becomes dangerous...

iSketch is pretty fun. On a Dwarf Fortran board, it has the potential for awesome. Count me in.

probably in, however I'm not everybody, and therefore I don't know pictionary. This is perfectly logical.
It's like Eat Poop You Cat?

Pictionary is a lot like password.However you use pictures to explain the word within a set time limit.You are not allowed to say anything vocally,and are not allowed to draw language.(numbers,letters,etc.)

Alright, it looks like we have roughly a parlor room full of people, which is enough. More can jump in if they want.

Game start

Alexhans, I choose you to be the first drawer, I'll PM you something to draw about.

I drew this... and then totally forgot to upload it...



It took me 15 minutes... I'm not sure if there should be a time constraint so as to not make it too easy... but I guess that when it gets more complicated we WILL need time.

Also:  You have to guess the exact word/phrase and write it in some kind of closed format:   "Answer".  I think it's fair that you can write more than one answer...

Agreed, but so it doesn't get too anal, I'll decide if it's ever "close enough" and decide the winner right there.

People that aren't playing, but following along, can feel free to suggest things to draw about.
