This time I’ll be hosting Izzy’s “Eat Poop You Cat”. Yippee! My first game thread btw!

Here you can find the end results of the previous three EPYC games:

EPYC I
EPYC II
EPYC III

Rules:

1. Drawers - do not write words and letters on the drawing

2. Captioners - do not write about all the details on the photo in your captions!
(WRITE ONLY ONE SENTENCE, BE CONCISE - MEANING - try to express what's on the photo in least words possible!!!)

Let me explain (some of you are already familiar with this ).

Writing a caption is like writing a title for that picture or drawing.

For example, if you have cats sleeping on the photo, instead of writing "There are five cats sleeping in their baskets" you can write "Lazy afternoon". By writing "Lazy afternoon" you are not distorting anything but at the same time you are not writing exactly what's on the photo because for the next person who's drawing that could be boring. It's interesting to see how the next person interprets your words without actually knowing the exact details that are on the photo.

Spoiler for These are examples of short but great captions!

The pictures were taken, and captions written by Uroš Petrović my ingenious compatriot!



Too descriptive caption would be "There's a man standing with an axe on his shoulder and a cherry three in the background"

Good caption would be "The Last Day of Old Cherry" (it's not distorting anything (even though the old man didn't want to cut the cherry down ) but still catching the essence of the photo)



Too descriptive caption would be "There's a statue pointing forward, jet smoke trail in the sky and a pigeon flying in the direction where the finger is pointing"

Instead of that he wrote a short caption that is spot on! "Follow That Jet!"

One more example



He could have just written "Peacock" but instead he wrote "Lord of the Eyes"

You can find all of his photos HERE!

Of course not all of his captions are as creative as his photos. I have given you his best captions as an example (according to my humble opinion).

I hope this will help you to avoid just listing all the items on the picture and to write some nice and creative captions

I’ll go first by writing the first caption (hopefully a good one this time )

Add more numbers (you can add as much as you want)

Odds are captions evens are drawings.

I’ll be PM-ing everyone when it’s their turn

EDIT: I forgot to say I'll probably start the game Monday Um... my Monday first minute after midnight... my midnight (check my local time)
