You were right, that was awful. Interesting to see what it turns into though, heh.Quote:

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.
I just advanced the turn.
This game doesn't really require a host. Technically, as long as you follow the rules:
then just send it to the next person in line. And to me, for the record keeping.Quote:
800*600 max size image, NO LETTERS,

Holy daisy, this caption is gonna be hard...
I need some time.... and a drink :laugh4:
If you're capable of doing it, ATPG, then by all means. :bow:Quote:

I'll join. A caption would be preferable, but I'm willing to try to make an image as well.
Yeah, sorry about that. :sweatdrop:Quote:

Do not for one second think that it was easy for me to do. What's worse is that I was only the fourth person. Whoever's last will have it bad, heh.Quote:

Completed and submitted :bow:
Amsel is up.
edit
Sorry for the delay - I've been living in a field for a couple of days. Will try to get the image done later this evening.
Myrddraal's turn.
Image sent on to ATPG and Yaropolk.
Sent to Double A
Hot potato!
WT :daisy: was that. Well, whatever it is worth, I sent my caption to Pizza. Good luck to Zack, who is next.
It's a comic!
edit
Can I get in on this?
CR
Ooooh and you got Image too! Esteemed Artiste Crazed Rabbit is going to knock this out of the park! :beam:
Welcome welcome. Don't be too surprised if the image you're asked to draw makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. :laugh4:
I just saw the caption, and I am dropping out. :no:
Aww, come on Zack, you can do it!! :cheerleader:Quote:

I thought the caption I got was bad eek...
I could take Zack's place. That way I could still do an image.
EDIT: Wow, that is a crazy caption. Well this should be interesting...
CR
I have to be honest. Not seeing what the caption is, nor the pictures doesn't really make this game appealing to me, but I am curious.
You should join if only to receive the reward of watching what your contribution came from and turned into.Quote:

That's what she said. Okay, now I've uploaded your picture, and I'm sending it off to Captain C.

I am SO glad I didn't participate this time. The starting caption was crazy. :laugh4:
Much respect to CR's drawing abilities.
LOL.

I kinda loved how it degenerated into madness from my caption onward :clown:
oops :embarassed:
In again please, as either a caption or an image :bow:

Man, the captions for this game started out crazy and didn't relent. I think it's neater when the beginning is not quite so crazy and we can see how it evolves from the more mundane into the weird. :shrug:
CR
OMG, LOL, that started off the rails, and just kept spiraling out of control. :laugh4:
I thought being last in line was bad, but I see that this would have made no sense regardless of where I was in line.
Edit: I like how we had two different spider man villains throughout this story, starting out with the green goblin and then having Doc Ock making sporadic apperances.

Clever and difficult starting line.
The key was sounding it out. If I could get people to SOUND OUT what I was saying, they would realize that 90% of the image was meant to RHYME.Quote:
Askthepizzaguy (image)
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
So, the very first thing I did was tell the next person in line that you're meant to listen, sound it out, hear, whatever. That's represented by the ear, followed by the colon, to indicate you're supposed to LISTEN to the following: (colon.)
3 turtles flying in the sky, multiplied by 1, is 3 turtles flying in the sky.
Ear symbol on the Purple sky (easy enough): sky
Ear symbol on the flying, multiplying turtles (simple): fly, multiply
Ear symbol on Prince, combined with pies (easy if you know who prince is): Prince of pies.
Ear symbol on Prince, with teardrops (easy if you get the rhyme scheme so far): cry/crying/cries
Ear symbol on skull and crossbones, with Prince with his eyes crossed out (easy): dies
Ear symbol on 3 knives (easy): Knives
Ear symbol on each: 5 women, shy smiley face, wedding rings (medium hard): five shy wives
I could not symbolize "wise" and still have it make sense, and I was running out of space, so I ignored the "wise" part.
Goblin plus Pinocchio with an ear symbol (easy): Goblin of lies
Goblin pointing at ties, ear symbol, then the ties pointing at the fryer, ear symbol, with a different colored arrow: the Goblin fries his ties.
Then another reminder to sound it all out. Here's what you get if you do that:
The turtles fly and multiply in the purple sky. The Prince of pies cries, then dies, stabbed by five shy wives with knives. The Goblin of lies fries his ties.
Compare to:
As turtles multiply and fly through purple skies, the Prince of Pies cries and dies as his many shy wives stab him with knives, whilst the wise goblin of lies fries his ties
I give myself a 95% on that one. :laugh4: But you be the judge.
Hearing: kinda sorta.Quote:

Death: Check

Knives: Check
Shy: Smiles? (not quite)
Goblin: Check
Lies: Check
Tied: ties (mostly, yeah)
Roasted: Fried (not quite)
Definitely very close to what I was going for. Most of the original concept sneaks through. I give it a B+, the only real problem was DIY did not get the rhyming clue (ear symbols).
But hey, that's kind of abstract and you don't normally think outside of the literal for these things.
Hearing/Ear: CheckQuote:

Arpeg successfully gets all of the main concepts into his image. A+ :bow:
A lot of the original concept has still survived as well. Maybe 70%.

The concept transfers easily back into written form, with some variations. I give this one a B+ :bow:
Much of the original concept is still there... but it's getting near 50% of the original. Some of the concepts still rhyme, but that's pretty much gone now/not noticeable as a pattern.

Stealing the pastries: Check
Evil housekeeper: Yes, but with octopus body? :laugh4: Check
Cut off arms: Check
Green Goblin/chain of lights/lie: Nope, not present.
Well at least Split knows who Bootsy Collins is. The Koopa is an original concept still present, and the pies have become pastries which are still around. The housewives have become an octopode evil housekeeper... the knives have become a samurai blade.
Most of the other concepts have fallen away. Maybe 30% of the original still exists.
Koopa: CheckQuote:

Original Concept: Koopa, slicing. (10%)
I guess Amsel didn't know who Bootsy Collins was either. My sympathies, Amsel! No idea about the scandinavian souvenirs part. :laugh4:
Definitely worth a B+ though.

Pretty much describes the image exactly, minus a couple minor details. Good job! B+

Very easy to follow, all the concepts seem to be in there. Does not convey the concept of poetry, however.
95% = A rating!
Turtle is still there, cleaver is still there for the knives/killing. About 4% of the original.
Turtle: CheckQuote:

Rainbow: Check
Poop: yes.
Sad: Yes
Hamburglar: Yes
Ackbar: Yes.
Octo with cleaver: Yes.
Killing the star with a cleaver: Yes.
It describes it pretty well. Good carry over. There's a bit of a flaw with the Star on Turtle transposing to Star disguised as Turtle, but otherwise perfect. A rating!
Mention of turtle, cleaver for the knives, killing, about 3% of the original.
First of all, major kudos on the image. Wow.Quote:

Half man-Octo with cleaver: Check
Attacking the star: Possibly! Looks like it.
Sad Star: Check.
I give this one a 100%+ rating. A++
Turtle concept is disappearing or hard to picture, cleaver is still there. Maybe 2% of the original.

Chaotix gets most of the concept switched over nicely. B+!
Original Koopa/Turtle concept is totally gone, morphed into a lizard. Knife-Cleaver-Axe.... not close enough, but killing concept still exists.
1% of original.

Fleet of space ships: Check!
Elephant pooping: Interesting.
Star Wars becomes generic space ships, generic space ships becomes star trek.
All of the concepts transfer over, but the Elephant is added in. Very close to perfect. A rating!
Killing concept is gone, and all that remains of the Knives is the axe. I guess it's a blade. But not really enough to warrant any resemblance to the original, since he's not killing anyone.
The original concepts are gone! Nothing of the original survived!

And it's also different, which means it isn't the same boring picture over and over.
I don't really consider it a game you "win", I rather think putting it in such a context is ironic, which is why I do it. It would be pretty subjective, and also suck all the fun out of making zany pictures that match words, and vice-versa.
I just didn't see the Scandinavian souvenir/Danish connection; that's my bad for not being imaginative. :beam:
Where did the rainbow come from?

I'm in, but I'd like to do an image again please.

I wanna do a caption this time
I'm fine with doing a caption, if needed an image as well, but I'd prefer it'd be only in a week or later.
I'll be away for a couple of weeks, so it'd be best to move me to the bottom of the list.

Actually, usually the image-makers tend to insert random things into their image (like Saturn) that are misinterpreted by the next guy, so it often ends up being way different at the end than at the beginning anyway.Quote:
