Mhh... I got a game idea but I am not sure if it works well.... It works like this : Somebody starts posting a object or a situation like "A car in front of a house" or "Beethro in Tar" as a Secret Message. The next one looks at the secret and.... well its stupid but..... starts paint or something more professional and paint what he read. He upload the picture and put it on his webspace and do a link (OR attach it of course). The next one Opens the link NOT reading the Secret text and describes in a 2nd secret Text what the picture shows. And so on. The next reads the 2nd S.T. without looking at the 1st or the picture and so on... After 5 Pictures and Texts everybody is allowed to look at all and there is often a funny difference in it. The best picture and most funny description gets a mod point. (Or better said, if somebody likes the others pictures or descriptions he will give him mod points)

Please dont cheat or make your description extra stupid (If you see an elefant dont write "Blue Tank with a waterpistol wearing a brown coat"

Rule : Please just post 1 Description or 1 Picture or one of bth. (but let another one psot before). Rounds will be shorten to 8 turns because everybody is limited to 2 posts now.

Hmmm, kind of a picture based telephone game? But its a bit convoluted with the secret tags and what not.

What about this:

1st person posts a picture with a caption.

The 2nd person has to post a picture that makes sense with the first person's caption, but has to post a new caption that makes sense with the 2nd picture, but not with the first picture.

3rd person posts a picture for the 2nd caption and a new caption which makes sense for the 3rd picture, but not the 2nd. And so on...

No. Player 2 and 3 will NOT Make a caption/picture.

Player 2 only draws and 3 only decribes. Else many fun is spoiled (I tried it with a friend). The game aims for fun.

The fun comes up from the difference.

Like this :

Secret text : "A roach eating tar"
Picture trying to show this
Secret Text : "A fly crashing blue pudding"
Picture trying to show this
Secret Text : "A bug crashing a blue wall"

and so on.

Wait, weren't you the original poster? I mean, you know what you wrote. Doesn't that spoil the whole thing?

Woah. Good point. Of course that would bias what he's writing. Well, I'm guessing that if he doesn't retract his description, then that implies the image-caption telephone message has already gone full circle, come around to the first person, and he's deciding to end that round. It's done, and now time to start a new round. Which I think is too bad, because it takes at least three iterations before it starts to get interesting.

Oh, sorry. "I am such stupid " Sorry I interrupt my game. But I just described what I saw. I will make a rule in the first post for
that.
