Paper Telephone [EPYC] game - [Concluded]
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.
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.
