Lots of reveals in the past couple of days and, as you can see, a couple of other chains are close to it. Chains F, M and K are a tad slow, but every other chain has at least started Round 10 by now. We're pacing great considering we started a little less than two weeks ago(?)
Also, I updated the OP to have a link to the completed chains list.
But yeah, in my drawing, the people whose avatars I was trying to draw were AniX's, my own (the first time I've drawn my own fursona in a few years), Ausuka's, and Cheery Dog's.
most people playing the game aren't trying to literally translate 1 for 1 what the drawings/prompts are.
it's fine to not get them right.
it's a silly game.
it's really not meant to be taken extremely seriously.

the rules say that you have to be as accurate as possible without going overboard though? like. i want to be more interesting with my responses but then it wouldn't really be accurate anymore

I think taking some artistic liberty with drawings/prompts is fine. If you don't 100% capture the original meaning then who's going to police you for mistranslating things slightly in a game that has an emphasis on organic mistranslation. There's also usually ways to capture most of the original meaning while also trying to be interesting.

I think the spirit here is:
Don't draw something completely unrelated to the prompt/write something completely unrelated to the picture.
You're not writing a novel about the picture.
My personal pet peeve is people expecting the prompts/pictures to be pop culture quizzes; you could at least tell my drawing of my avatar was of a feline fursona. It takes the fun out of it if I were to expect you to recognize it was specifically me.

yeah for me personally its not fun to go like "the red haired woman dressed in white trousers looked at the slightly too small cat with 3 whiskers and a tail curved the left while they both stood next to a square table with a potted plant on it that was red but had one white flower."
No one gives prompts like that, I consider my job to try to guess what the prompt actually was.

For the record I was thinking it looked more like Jake the Wolfie than you lol

I know what you mean, but one of the funniest ones I ever saw (which unfortunately I can't find now) was one where the chain stayed amazingly consistent with "I want to rock and roll all night and party every day" for 80% of the chain until the sentence specifically mentioned Gene Simmons, the artist misread it as Richard Simmons, and then the chain ended making no goddamn sense and it was amazing and I loved it.

Thank you for giving me a good starting prompt for next time
