EPYC: Chains of Glory

[Faraday]

/in?

MS paint terrible drawing ftw.

[ReaperCharlie]

Ok, sign ups are at 37/40 and I still have spots 'reserved' for Brandi and rolandofthewhite from last game...

So I will need two replacements in case they don't show up... or rather, they will be the first two replacements if somebody flakes out.

:sadface: I wanted to get them in from the start, but they don't seem to be answering PMs at the moment...

[ReaperCharlie]

That is to say: We need three more. Brandi and rolandofthewhite, come play! If you're not around, don't worry, the first two replacement spots are reserved for you.

[bvoigt]

/in

[Equinox]

Sorry, gotta shed one less commitment.

/out

[ReaperCharlie]

I'll consider you as still /in, because this will basically be me asking you to write a caption or draw a picture once every few days.

That's not so bad, is it?

[Equinox]

Okay, I lied. The game I thought would take up my time just ended, so I can use that time for this. Re-/in? :'D

[ReaperCharlie]

I consider you as still /in

[Chevre]

Okay, I lied. The game I thought would take up my time just ended, so I can use that time for this. Re-/in? :'D

I'll ask roland tonight about playing.

*dies laughing at the sample chains*

/in!

[Porochaz]

Woah there! Don't we get to write our own first sentences?

[ReaperCharlie]

Haha. Have no fear.

I'm probably running it different than mith did, but don't worry.

It's in capable hands.

[Porochaz]

Ok, well I don't particularly want to be nasty about it or anything, but my sentence is just way too simple and distinctive that 5/6 rounds later it's going to be the same thing people guess regardless of who's drawing and who's guessing, and there is no room for (mis)interpretation, which is what makes this game funny. The individuality of people choosing there own sentences and passing it on makes the game, if they all originate from you, it removes the random element somewhat.

[Fenchurch]

Erm, I've been asked to choose a starting sentence. Maybe you just got given someone else's sentence already?

But I still think that it'd be nice if everyone gets to do a starting sentence, although I guess 40 chains could be something of an administrative nightmare, if that's not what you were planning on doing.

[Chevre]

Um yeah, It isn't really fair if everyone who wants to write a starting sentence doesn't get to. Part of the fun (at least for me) is seeing how much my initial sentence will change by the end of the game. If this was your plan, you could have initially asked if anyone didn't want to make a starting sentence.

[ReaperCharlie]

Actually, there ARE going to be (at least) 40 chains, and everyone will get to write a starting sentence.

I just don't have the time or inclination to start them all at once and try to manage them all at once.

You'll all get your turn. Like I said, this is being run a little bit differently, but it'll all work out.

Please, have a little faith.

[ReaperCharlie]

Also, this is kind of important:

If I need you to write or draw anything, you will receive a PM from me

on either this account, or from the new account Eat Poop You Cat, which I have created in order to be able to handle the insane amounts of PMs that I'll be going through each day... you know, so they don't overflow my inbox on this account.

[Kitoari]

I'm not sure which would be worse, a normal drawing with lots of erasure or a computer one that's just flat out terrible.

Hmm.

Okay sorry, I assumed they were all from you as the people I asked suggested they had no communication from you. But I do understand, 40 seperate threads is going to be a lot of work.

[Porochaz]

and can I suggest you run all the PM's through the Eat Poop You Cat account(once its activated). It'll make it easier for you if its all in one account.

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeahhhh.... still waiting for it to get activated though ^_^

[mith]

Yeah, I'm behind on activations... should get to it this morning sometime.

[ReaperCharlie]

Thanks.

[Eat Poop You Cat]

Oh, capital! It's already approved! <3
