Paper Telephone (also known as Eat Poop You Cat)
How to play
The first player begins by writing a sentence or phrase. This can be anything and in reference to anything. More surreal sentences tend to produce funnier final results. The next player then attempts to come up with an illustration that represents the sentence. Then the paper is folded over so that only the picture can be seen and is passed to the next player. Usually there are some restrictions on what can appear in the illustration to ensure that the third player cannot easily replicate the original sentence. For instance, numbers and letters can be forbidden. The next player then attempts to formulate a caption for the illustration. Once the third player has captioned the illustration, the paper is folded over so that only the caption can be seen, and is passed to the next player. This is continued until the game ends. There are a few different opinions as to when the game should end, but it should always end on a sentence, not an illustration. Therefore it is best played with an odd number of people. One variation says the game ends when every player has had a turn.
.org variant RULES:
Use Microsoft paint or any other image-creating software, and host the image on photobucket or some other site.
You may cut and paste bits and pieces of other images you find elsewhere, but do not post obscene content or anything in violation of .org policy.
Numbers and letters are discouraged, unless they are part of the image you cut and pasted and it has NOTHING to do with what you're trying to convey. I'll be the judge of that.
Players all get one turn to start off with, if we get enough players.
I will begin the game by being Player One. I will write a sentence and send it to player two.
Player two will create a crudely drawn image which is supposed to represent what player one wrote down, using no words, just drawings and images.
Player two sends the image (just the image) to player three.
Player three writes a caption for the image and sends the caption (just the caption) to player four.
Player four creates a crudely drawn image which depicts what the caption says, and so on, sends just the image to player five.
Continues until everyone has had a turn, and many turns have passed.
They all must send the caption and the images to the game host (Me) every turn as well, so I can monitor what is going on and make sure all images and captions are legal.
Captions must not be longer than 70 words.
Images need to fit on the forum comfortably, and let's keep the images under a certain size. Resize them if necessary, 800*600 is plenty big enough.
EDIT: RULE CHANGE-
I would prefer it if each player sent the image or caption only to me on the end of their turn, so I can make sure it is legal. :bow:
Objective:
Try to accurately represent what the picture says or the caption says when you make your caption or picture.
The end result will be odd and amusing.
IMPORTANT:
Do not post either the images or the captions on this thread. I will post them all at the end of the game.
If you're interested, please sign up. There are no winners or losers, this is for fun and takes very little of your time. The results are frequently amusing to read.

Diana requested specifically to have a caption for her turn. if you wish I can move you around to be before Double A. But let's keep those requests to a minimum.

Seth Brundle enters the Telepod with a baked potato and is transported across his laboratory. Unfortunately he and the potato have now fused together, and he has become a horrible hybrid of man and potato.
"KILL ME!!! KILL MEEEEE!!!!!" says the Brundletato.
:laugh4: Seth Brundle and a potato! That's not the brown thing I had in mind when I first saw the drawing.
I hope that I am creative enough for this, your caption is scary, as in "I would never come up with something like that, ever".
I'll go after Diana, so I'll be drawing. Drawing will be easier..... I think.
This is the easiest game in the world.
Which is all the more embarrassing for me, who still doesn't 100% get this, but it looks artsy, so I'm in.
Can we do another cycle after the first one?

Okay, 13 players, a nice odd number for the game. And yeah, after we do the first one people can get the hang of it and we will do another, bigger one which will probably be funnier.
I need to write the role PMs for the Murder Manor game. After that I might open this one and the Murder manor one at the same time.

Anyway, I was hoping for a drawing turn myself, because I agree with Romanic in thinking that might be easier.

I hope this was amusing. Anyone up for a second, longer round?
:laugh4:
I'm surprised we managed to start with space, have it die out completely for a few drawings, and then re-emerge in the finale. That's epic. Also, the fact that ice scream stayed through to the end and we had a little ninja interlude was pretty funny, too.
And Thermal's image should be put in some kind of modern art museum.
I'm all up for another game. Let's either get more people, or do a double rotation, so we get a more wacky result.

I'm shocked that the space and ice cream themes managed to stay til the end as well. This was so funny, yes, we need to do this again, but with a more players. I don't think it will work as well if we just repeat the line.

As Diana said before, running it twice is not the same. We will have knowledge of the previous pass. It could affect the results.

No it's like, if you try to copy a picture in, it automatically crops it to the dimensions of the current canvas. In stuff like GIMP and Photoshop (What I"m used to) you can paste something into the file and move it around without cropping the edges until you set and rasterize the layer.

You could just expand the dimensions before you paste the image...
Splitpersonality
05-18-2010, 23:20
There's no expanding, you have to make a new image large enough to hold the other one, and then you can't resize it, because it resizes and scales the whole canvas.
It's not like MS paint at all :/
Thank goodness GIMP works fine on my computer.

Sweden lasted about halfway through, until Double A's image. The skis lasted until ArpeggiateTHIS's image, then Splitpersonality did his caption. At that point it was nothing like the original image.

Host commentary: (because, after all, why not.)
"The valiant 2-year old chain smoker fought off the evil forces of anti-spam with nothing but a banana peel, some string, and a machine gun."
Double A's caption Was fairly easy for Askthepizzaguy (me) to draw,
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/anti.png
....but I totally blanked the chain smoking part. My bad. Did you notice how the 2-year old has Prince Valiant's haircut? Yes, I managed to get the "valiant" part in pictographic form. I win the thread. :smoking:
And there's your chain smoker, so I score a flawless victoly.
"A baby wielding a tommy gun and a banana peel is being attacked by spam. The silly string next to him has exploded all over the green hill he is on, and the sun is being covered by the clouds."
Splitpersonality's caption basically captures the essence of the image without adding too much to the previous caption or taking away from it. The green hill was just to take away the empty background space, but Split added that to the caption, along with the sun and clouds. No matter, surely the green hill, sun and clouds won't reappear, right?
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/eypcimage.png
Whoops there's the green hill, sun and clouds again. :laugh4:
Death is yonder's picture makes some minor changes. The baby is holding the banana and the gun is floating, and instead of the spam attacking, it seems the baby is holding him hostage (yes, now the Spam is a person).
Also the explosion part of the silly string becomes totally for reals. So now we have nuclear string.
"A terrible atomic accident drives Banana the Gangster Baby to hold the hold the CEO of the Spam corporation hostage on top of Big Green Hill. The sun sees this and frowns disapprovingly, drawing a cloud in front of it's face to hide the shameful scene from it's eyes."
Subotan's caption turns the silly string explosion into a very not-silly atomic bomb explosion. Now the baby is a gangster, and the guy in the Spam suit apparently got promoted to CEO. Who says you can't advance from a dead-end job like suit-wearing.... advertisement.... guy.... thing? Now the hill is named BIG GREEN HILL and the sun is disapproving of everything. My goodness, who anthropomorphized mister sun? Was it you, Death is yonder? Yes it was. The sun's disapproval is yonder.
:whip:
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/epyc2.png
Romanic's picture turns our beloved Gangsta Baby into a dude in a banana suit, and the CEO of Spamcorp decided to shed his Spammy suit and now he's being robbed apparently. See the bag with the dollar sign? That means he's a bank robber. Also, mister sun who was just an ordinary sun I drew in the clouds so there would be less white space is now the artist who is drawing the sky. And he still hates the world.
Also, BIG GREEN HILL seems to be turned into a neon turtle floating in liquid pig shtinkies. Note how crazed the Banana man is. He's clearly off his gourd, and completely fruity. He can't tell apples from oranges, and I've appearantly run out of fruit-related humor, so let's move on.
"Already fed up with the state of the world, the BP oil spill has proved to be the last straw for Greenpeace; dressed in a banana suit, one of their activists holds the BP Chief-Exec to ransom. Fearing for his life, the CEO suggests that nuking the oil-spill might improve the drastic situation. Meanwhile, the Sun has given up on humanity, and draws clouds to cover the shame that is Planet Earth."
ArpeggiateTHIS' caption turns the banana-related bank robber into an extremist working for Greenpeace. Now Spam-related CEO is no longer spam-related and he's the CEO of BP, and that's not pig feces, it's oil. Now the oil man is suggesting we nuke the well and stop the thing. The happy little sun I drew in the sky has gone from not-even-human-with-no-expression, to shy, to sad, to angry at the world, and now he's become so depressed he's given up on mankind! OH NOES!!!
SHAME ON YOU PLANET EARTH!!! YOU WILL RUE THE DAY YOU DECIDED TO DRAW THE SUN!!!

Renata's picture does a good job with the BP executive logo and the greenpeace logo, so that idea should be easily passed along. It's apparent that she's attempting to convey all the information from the previous caption, but it's a little hard to follow unless you know what she's trying to say, in which case it's actually pretty genius. It makes perfect sense. Kudos, Renata. I also like the Xbox that the executive is trapped in. No red ring of death for him, just Xbox hell, and then nuking the oil rig.
In all seriousness it is pretty clear the BP executive's idea is to nuke the well, exclamation point. So yeah, let's see if it translates.
"The peace banana-man saw massive profits involved in a global disaster engineered by the scheming big-wigs at BP who dumped all that oil into the gulf. Indeed, the sun would be shining brightly through the clouds of nuclear winter."
Chaotix' caption turns this 2-year old-turned gangsta baby-turned banana suit wearing bank robbing wierdo-turned greenpeace activist into the "Peace banana man". And so the banana never dies, but it transforms everything else around it. Stupid sun doesn't want to die either! And the atomic explosion/nuclear winter part, which remember, was just a can of silly string, has destroyed the entire world. Silly String, you've done it again!!!

00Banana.
Rated R for strong language, violence, and full frontal banana-related nudity.
"Evilco was having a good year. Share prices had bounced considerably after the company hired a trio of crack environmental saboteurs to destroy the Earth's ecosystem. Sassy she-vixen Serena la Phew got things underway by causing a huge oil slick, whilst the dashing and brilliant Dr. Rod Gently killed off the tree-hugging Eco-Ninjas with a shipment of anthrax-laced bananas, leaving the silver-haired leader, Sir Christopher "Old Money" Harrington, free to start the descent into nuclear winter with a well-placed A-Bomb."
Winston Hughes' caption goes into his usual long-and-creative description mode, which shows that BP is actually not BP, but EVILCO, and those three people you saw weren't oil executives, but indeed a She-Vixen, a "dashing and brilliant" Doctor ROD, and Sir Christopher "Old Money" Harrington.
Also, the bananas have anthrax. And Banana Man is no more!!! :bigcry:

Myrddraal's picture tells a tale about a man who is upset that Satan's stock is falling. He makes a deal with three evil supervillains, which involves blowing up the Deepwater Horizons oil well, cutting down trees, and poisoning ninjas with rotten bananas. Then Uncle Pennybags plants a bomb and explodes New York City. This causes Satan's stock to rise. HOOORAY!!!
Great picture, Myrdd.
"The evil businessmen were pleased when they found Satan's stock rising, which happened largely through the efforts of some guy with a monocle and a doctor, who spilled oil, made explosions, cut down trees, gave bananas to ninjas, blew up prosperous cities, and flew in helicopters."
Zack's caption tells that same exact tale. :embarassed: You break the game because you're so good at saying what happened, and cutting through all the Bovine Droppage. So we will move on.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/epyc2joooray.jpg
Joooray's image has turned the monacle guy into a doctor with six hands, (five on one arm) and a crooked arrow for a leg. He makes Neo and Smith very happy; Devil Inc's stock is rising because of 6-handed monacle doctor's evil scheming. There's a.... blue tree and a floating red goldfish, a bomb exploding, and an invisible lumberjack with a war axe, a ninja that kills bananas, and a helicopter flying towards... what seems to be 9/11.
Cue Beefy, to tell the tale as only he can! I am preparing to laugh hysterically....
"Evilness is increasing in the word. As the graph clearly shows it. Its all because of 5 handed doctors fault. With one hand, his crashing red helicopter to buildings, with another, his feeding bananas to ninjas. While his 3 other hands cuts trees, explodes stuff and feeds suspicious sea plants to innocent fishes."
Which is pretty much what the picture says. Beefy, I am disappoint. Can't even count on you to mess up this complicated and very strange image with your English as a second language storytelling. That's perhaps the most easily understood and accurate caption of them all.
Darn you and your epic skills! https://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2056/emotargh.gif

Psychonaut's picture shows Monacle guy with glasses, and he seems less evil and only has 5 arms instead of 6. But he's still feeding bananas to ninjas, cutting down trees, feeding the fish, grabbing helicopters from the sky like King Kong, and picking flowers. The little girl explains with her graph how this makes evilness increase.
Yes, little girl, evilness does increase. Especially with all the flagrant abuse of the No-Letters-In-Your-Pictures rule!!!!
Shame on everyone, especially me. :embarassed:
However, the banana has survived the game, and so therefore there's only one thing left to do.

Brilliant! Next time, I must try some more lateral thinking, but Winston's plot was too good to resist.
EDIT: the devil and dollars entered in because that was the best I could do for "EvilCo" I'm impressed that it even ended up as "Evilness" actually.

Double A's caption Was fairly easy for Askthepizzaguy (me) to draw,
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/anti.png
....but I totally blanked the chain smoking part. My bad. Did you notice how the 2-year old has Prince Valiant's haircut? Yes, I managed to get the "valiant" part in pictographic form. I win the thread. :smoking:
And there's your chain smoker, so I score a flawless victoly.
Splitpersonality's caption basically captures the essence of the image without adding too much to the previous caption or taking away from it. The green hill was just to take away the empty background space, but Split added that to the caption, along with the sun and clouds. No matter, surely the green hill, sun and clouds won't reappear, right?
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/eypcimage.png
Whoops there's the green hill, sun and clouds again. :laugh4:
Death is yonder's picture makes some minor changes. The baby is holding the banana and the gun is floating, and instead of the spam attacking, it seems the baby is holding him hostage (yes, now the Spam is a person).
Also the explosion part of the silly string becomes totally for reals. So now we have nuclear string.
Subotan's caption turns the silly string explosion into a very not-silly atomic bomb explosion. Now the baby is a gangster, and the guy in the Spam suit apparently got promoted to CEO. Who says you can't advance from a dead-end job like suit-wearing.... advertisement.... guy.... thing? Now the hill is named BIG GREEN HILL and the sun is disapproving of everything. My goodness, who anthropomorphized mister sun? Was it you, Death is yonder? Yes it was. The sun's disapproval is yonder.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time
Overall I think the game host does a good job with the commentary; I especially like the third-person way he refers to himself. I also like meta-jokes.
I'm thinking about doing a commentary for this commentary, but unfortunately Antonio Banderas isn't available to provide his perspective on Pele, the Wonder Mouse (who he voiced in the film adaptation of this game). You see him in the third scene after the epic banana versus ninjas battle in the third act, just before the bomb detonates in Times Square. He was eating some cheese next to the hobo. It was a truly heartwarming scene.
That was epic. I really enjoyed it, well the picture itself was complicated, but in the end it was totally worth it. Sorry about the 6 armed thing, I didn't know how else to draw.
And kudos once more to Myrddraal, that's just plain amazing. :bow:

You were right, that was awful. Interesting to see what it turns into though, heh.
Somebody should cover hosting this for ATPG, at least for the time being. He's busy enough trying to find time to host Star Fox, and this game doesn't require a whole lot beyond tranferring the captions and images.
Perhaps Subotan, Death is yonder, or someone who has already gone can cover it? Maybe Double A?
If ATPG agrees, and nobody else can do it, then I will volunteer myself to do so. Only catch is that I have a thin window of time for which I have internet access each day. Unless people are quick about these things, it's likely I can progress the game one stage per day. Then again, that's not much slower than this game is already moving.
