Guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 umm...guys, take it easy. It's just a game No need to fret over it...and preferable, no swear words Sorry, after eagerly waiting nearly 24 hours to see the response, I was utterly shocked to have his vitriol directed at me. I apologize to anyone, other then the prima donna, who was offended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Sorry, after eagerly waiting nearly 24 hours to see the response, I was utterly shocked to have his vitriol directed at me. I apologize to anyone, other then the prima donna, who was offended. The rules to this game are simple, there are only two that are listed in all of my updates and I did PM everyone. Star Tiger says it's cool as long as we are having fun... in order to do that we have to follow the rules or some people won't be having fun. You are welcome to play Xucam ... in my previous game I wasn't sure how the caption was really supposed to look like I think I made mistake myself... and then I read the good captions I now I know how to write them.

Yoruichi-san Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Maybe I can be creative? Who do you think you're talking about here... The preacher of the 2nd Dimensional Church at the corner of Height and Width gives a sermon warning of the consequences of adding Length. You claim not to have put any thought into the picture...but I smell a set-up *looks accusingly* ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well since there was no actual caption written, but rather, just another list of items in the pic... I didn't feel the need nor the privilege of even bothering to put effort into doing anything special... Maybe Ysan can be creative and write an actual caption for this one. Next game, I'm either going to actively choose who to follow in order to get an actual creative caption... or I'll just choose to write a caption myself. I really want to play this game, but haven't had the chance to do anything entertaining for the past two games <_< . Please people... be creative, write a caption, stop writing just a list of objects. Thanks Jeeze you don't have to be such a jerk, just kindly correct the person....... That was extremely rude.

andromeda Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Um... thanks Y-san I guess Very creative I suppose I PM-ed Sarah! REMINDER: Do NOT write words and letters on the drawing! 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!!!) I'll be PM-ing everyone when it's their turn! Captions and pictures!!! So if you still didn't play the game - STAY AWAY!'] I put one more spoiler just to be safe! Spoiler for ...: 1. Izzy Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand, Vanished from my hand, Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping. My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet, I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming. 2. Andromeda 3. Lemonymelon A weeping brunette, Who has a tattoo Holds a long egg-timer, Looks out on street of gloom. Cat sleeps in basket, Roses in vase on pillar, Some petals scattered on the floor, (and this final line's just filler). 4. NM EJL 5. Crazypainter I think I had a dream I was making a soft boiled egg, for my cat at the corner of Gloom and Plain St. Oh how I mourn and wish for the past. I would bring her roses.. 6. Kat 7. neaners87 a happy girl dreams of a young girl at an intersection with a kitty and small caped space alien who are being looked on by another girl checking the time and carrying broccoli! 8. octopuppy 9. Star tiger A girl is dreaming of bringing her dog to find a little green martian friend while her mother is out buying groceries. 10. Prince Marth 11. Jane The girl was walking down the sidewalk with her dog when a cute little alien dude jumped in front of her. Behind the girl stands an old woman carrying a bag of groceries, and, if you look closely, you see that the seemingly innocent woman is wearing a microphone headset and has a look on her face like she has an evil plan that is about to be put into action. 12. Puzzlegirl 13. Reaymond A green octopus (-1 leg) amubshes a young girl in a red dress walking her dog, with her grandma in hot persuit 14. Woon 15. Kay "This, my children, is the magnificent tale of the underwater kelp-monster and his storybook friends." 16. Skywalker 17. xucam The children, sitting or standing, quietly gaze at the aquarium, which is teeming with rather startled looking creatures; fish, squid, octopii, and even a sea otter appear among the kelp, along with a large book and one of the children, gone astray! 18. Brandonb 19. Y-san The preacher of the 2nd Dimensional Church at the corner of Height and Width gives a sermon warning of the consequences of adding Length. This is where we are so far: 1. Izzy 2.

That was extremely rude. yeah it was I tried to do it nicely in the previous game. However, it seems that if I need be callous to get the point across, then so be it. Everyone now sees and understands, so though rude as it may have been... it was effective. Sorry that I had to be the one that drove the point home... but it needed to be done. And why take it out on the next person with some half-assed photoshopping of a book and some kids at the zoo? Nice going, hillbilly. b/c I knew the person after me would actually be creative. ...and so the game continues Edited December 18, 2008 by Brandonb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that I had to be the one that drove the point home... but it needed to be done. It's neither funny nor necessary to scoff at and insult people.. I don't think I'll be playing this game anymore. I don't really want to be attacked if the person going after me decides that my picture/caption isn't good enough for them. I already have to put up with enough crude nasty people in real life which is one of the reasons I get on brainden- because most people here are good intelligent people who have some integrity. but apparently not everyone here does.

I don't really want to be attacked if the person going after me decides that my picture/caption isn't good enough for them. I honestly hope that nobody decides to quit because a couple of 'kids', one of them me, can't play nice. I think the reason I reacted so strongly is that I was absolutely acting in good faith, I thought I was doing exactly what I was supposed to. I had read several posts that had instructions and read over EPYC I and II. For me, the best part about those games is seeing objects getting described and drawn and described again, and watching them transform. For example, the 'gold biscuits become popcorn and then flowers, that was my favorite part of II. Now that I can look back on this one, the hourglass -> egg-shaped timer -> egg cooking pot -> alien (for a few rounds ) -> octopus is priceless. That is the tradition I was trying to uphold by writing what I saw. Saying that the ends justify the means is a slippery moral slope. My own case aside, I completely agree that nobody should have to be afraid that their contribution will be ridiculed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own case aside, I completely agree that nobody should have to be afraid that their contribution will be ridiculed. You're right, the transformation is interesting...but honestly...I have to say that the transformation is mostly due to the excretion of the artist in how detailed/realistic they choose to make the objects in their drawing. And b/c that is an effect of the drawings, that's only half the game. The other half of the game that makes the game interesting is the fact that no two people will interpret the same drawing the same way. The artists add their own touches to the game by their choices and their artistic style. And I think that's what the responsibility of the caption writer to add their own touches by adding their own perspective and their own interpretation of the drawings. If someone just wants to enjoy watching the transformations, everyone is free to read the thread and laugh and enjoy. But I believe that by signing up to play a game, a person accepts the responsibilities of trying their best to contribute to the game. I know you meant well, and that's fine...we're all still learning from our experiences...and in order to keep learning, we have to continue on even when the road gets tough or bumpy... Anyways, my 2 cents on the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
