BaconofChaos Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I decided to start with something a bit ambiguous, as always:The Wonderbolts defend a pony from a scary monster.Which BrainedBySaucepans drew as this:BBS: "And no, I have no idea what's up with that carrot...."MyLittlePonyTales described it thusly:A shadowy Discord reveals a glowing carrot to a stunned Carrot Top, while Spitfire and Soarin' prepare to grab it.And Davroth drew this:Phil's interpretation of the picture went like this:Two swift ponies compete for Discord's carrot.Which led to Ping111's masterpiece (and our first character change of the game)Note: I'm not making fun. The filename is IT'S A MASTERPIECE.pngLinkhopper tells it like it is:A lovely carrot shoots out of discords nostril, landing on rainbow dash, lighting dust then proceeds to immediately fall in love with the carrot.Which Weesh gave us a different spin on:OilWells cuts to the heart of the matter:"Lightning Dust found Rainbow Dash's discomfort fairly amusing."And AngieCakes knew just how to portray this:Tenkan's line pushes us in yet another new direction:Spitfire mocks a pony's involuntary gender change.Fawkes' picture is a sad day for Soarin':Leading to the final line of the game by StarStorm:Spitfire is annoyed that Lightning Dust named a pie bar with lesbian Wednesdays after herAnd there we have it fillies and gentlecolts! Good game!I'll do a follow up post a bit later once folks have had time to look over this. 6 Link to comment
Davroth Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I love how the Wonderbolts completely disappeared just to reappear in the very last picture. XD Link to comment
RarityDash Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I love how the Wonderbolts completely disappeared just to reappear in the very last picture. XDI love to purposefully leave characters vague, just so that kind of thing might happen. This one was fun. Lots of neat changes in interpretation and what was considered important. Link to comment
BrainedBySaucepans Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Taking first picture was a lot of fun, and I love how the game developed!Overall, I'd say this was the best one so far.And no, I still don't know what Discord was planning with that carrot, probably something heinous...

ping111 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 My goodness, what a game.And yes, I drew that badly slightly on purpose.Kind of. Of course.Fun game, everyone! Link to comment
weesh Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Well done guys! Definitely worth the wait!OIlwells' line is stellar. It reads well, shows a unique interpretation, and forces the next person to make a creative judgement.Can someone explain how to scan a coloured pencil sketch without it getting washed out?

weesh Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Another note:I decided that "carrot" could be a pony, but then intentionally designed a new male carrot rather than using Golden Harvest. Amusing because, firstly, it almost meant the return of Golden Harvest after a picture without her and, secondly, we somehow got a lesbian theme going on by the end of contest anyways. After typing that, I realize that it was likely not a coincidence that the first picture had Golden Harvest AND a carrot. It really was excellent execution. Link to comment

It really was excellent execution.And now I'm blushing. Great.Originally it wasn't Golden Harvest, but a soon as I drew the carrot I knew I had to redraw that bit... I still wish I just knew WHY I drew a carrot there though. Link to comment
weesh Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Ah, is the "[colour=#282828]BBS: "And no, I have no idea what's up with that carrot....[/colour][colour=#282828]"[/colour]" line your words rather than Diego's? Are carrots intrinsically funny? Maybe not, but they have a long history in cartoons and the substitution for something actually dangerous brought a smile to my face. Link to comment
StarStorm Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 "Spitfire mocks a pony's involuntary gender change." <-- Gigglebox-turning epicness!Hehe, great game everybody! Link to comment
BaconofChaos Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Glad everyone enjoyed this! It was definitely a fun one.Now, I have a request. I love doing these games, and it's always fun to see how things progress from person to person. However, I would love to have a chance to participate in the game without knowing all the previous entries, just once. I want to be able to do a line or a drawing without knowing what came before so I can get that "what the heck?" moment, and then see the final result all laid out for the first time. So, would anyone else be interested in running a game? No pressure, I'll still do the next one if no one wants to. Just figured I'd ask. You're more than welcome to straight up copy my OP if that helps. Link to comment
weesh Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Ooooooh!Pick me! Pick me!Edit: ninja'd!Edit2: if you are planning on starting the next one before Feb 3rd, ping is the better choice. I am about to leave on vacation. Edited January 18, 2013 by weesh Link to comment
StarStorm Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I would be willing to run one, but Ping can do it!! Link to comment
BaconofChaos Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I don't mind really. You can all have a go if you want! Ping can do the next one, followed by Weesh, followed by StarStorm and anyone else who wants to try. Sorted! Link to comment
weesh Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Actually, why don't you give me the tenth? I have an audacious idea that is worthy of the double digits. Link to comment
Tenkan Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 That was awesome! Great work, everypony. Link to comment
BrainedBySaucepans Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I wanna do one too... Link to comment
weesh Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Podcast guys: Is there some cool way that we could get a CV/TP team up? Link to comment
ping111 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hey, how about we get the whole TP team together and play Draw My Thing on Skype? I think it would be an awesome time!Podcast guys: Is there some cool way that we could get a CV/TP team up?Do I smell a contest? Silly idea: Whichever team sticks closer to the original line wins...?

I think it would be an awesome time!Do I smell a contest? Silly idea: Whichever team sticks closer to the original line wins...?Or two teams make a series, and then put it up a poll on and ask the other canterlot people to vote on which one they like the best? Maybe we could get Artax/Autumn to give the winning team a prize icon? A triple collaboration between CV, TP and the admin!Or maybe a race! Two teams see who can get through ALL of their members the fastest! 1 Link to comment

BaconofChaos Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hey, how about we get the whole TP team together and play Draw My Thing on Skype? I think it would be an awesome time!What is Draw My Thing? Link to comment
ping111 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 What is Draw My Thing?It's a game on a website called OMGPop, which is free to signup (you don't even need to-play as a guest). When it's your turn, you're given a word or phrase and you have to draw it (writing it is against the rules), and everyone else has a minute to guess! The first person to guess it correctly gets 3 points, everyone else gets 1, and the drawer gets 2 if anyone guesses.If you're ever available, I can give you a short demo. Link to comment
