Telephone Pictionary 6: Back by popular demand!

Righto, let's get to it.

THE RULES

On the first day, I will PM a line to the first player. That player will then have to draw what I have sent them and send it back to me. I will then pass this one to the next person in the list, who will have to write something that describes the picture they received, and so on and so on until everyone has had a turn.

This is another "Lightning Round", because that worked quite well before. When you receive a line, you have 24 hours to do a picture. When you receive a picture, you have 24 hours to write a line. Unlike last time, players do not share a day. I also don't think it's worth having players sign up for a specific day, since people sometimes do their part much quicker than expected and that can throw the timing off.

If you miss your deadline without a valid reason¹, the task immediately gets shifted to the next person in line, and you will be moved to the back of the queue. Miss your deadline twice and you're out. This may seem harsh, but it's to prevent the game from stalling for too long. Try to let me know in advance if you don't think you'll be able to do your bit when it comes up and I'll do my best to reschedule.

For writers: Don't be too specific. You have one sentence. Make it count! Be creative! Don't pick out every detail, but give the gist of what's happening in your picture.

For artists: You do not need to be a good artist. It doesn't need to be good! I cannot stress this enough. You have 24 hours, but don't think that means you should try to create a masterpiece in that time. A 10 minute sketch drawn with a mouse in MS Paint is perfectly fine, and it makes things interesting for the next person in line!

heh... I'm in, of course.

I don't really have a preference. I'll say line... unless you end up needing more drawing people, in which case I'll be happy to offer my terrible art to the cause.

Put me down for a line, yo.

[Linkhopper]

Would you kindly give me a line role?

Heh, we may be needing you for art, looking at the list so far. Still, I'm going to give sign up a few days. I'll probably ask Angie and Fawkes again too.

[weesh]

Lines seem to be popular, and I haven't done a picture yet (with good reason). I'll take that number 6 spot and see if I can't cause the whole thing to crash and burn around me : )

Can you specify a start date?

[BaconofChaos]

Can you specify a start date?

I'd like to start this weekend if possible.

[Davroth]

I'd like a drawing spot, but not the first one. ^.^

[BaconofChaos]

Man, no one wants that first slot. XD I may have to take it myself and get someone else to write the first line.

[weesh]

I could be persuaded to write the first line instead of my current picture slot.

[BaconofChaos]

I've gotten someone to do the first drawing (I hope. She didn't specify) so that's okay.

Bumping this up because we've still got plenty of space. The more, the merrier! Don't be afraid!

[Davroth]

Cakey is involved? Now it's a party.

[weesh]

Yay!

Also, 9 is plenty...not that 15 is too many.

[weesh]

Rules seem a bit wonkie. If you miss your window, does the next person in line switch from doing a drawing to doing a line or vice-versa?

[ping111]

I'm in for lines.

No, it goes to the next person with the same one you're doing, and everyone shifts place to accomodate.

You should know this, Weesh, you were the one who suggested it a couple of threads back

I'm in for lines.

Excellent!

[crp_dude]

I'll happily take a shot at this! c:

Great! Line or Drawing?

[crp_dude]

Great! Line or Drawing?

Drawing, of course!

[BaconofChaos]

Drawing, of course!

Just checking!

Alrighty then! The die is cast and the first line is sent!

Just a remind to lurkers reading this thread (I know you're there!) that there's still time to join up! It's fun and it's easy, I promise!

[weesh]

I thought we were already stalled...until I checked the front page. Someone post here when there is movement please!

[BaconofChaos]

Sorry about that. I'll post updates more frequently.

Just as a heads up, it's Fawkes' turn now, but I think I may have sent his line to the wrong email address yesterday. If he confirms this I'll give him a little longer, since it's my mistake and all.

[StarStorm]

12!! I'd like to join and draw
