Too busy to run a round atm.. will revive whenever I'm available to host. (you are free to host your own ATG though of course!)

Intro:

The ATG is basically a twisted version of the classic game, Telephone. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the game Telephone, the concept is to pass a message along a chain of people and see how the message has changed by the time it reaches the last person. The idea for the ATG is to incorporate art into this game. :la:

How it works:

The first person in the chain will think of an idea/thing (ie. smelly waffles dancing) and send a note to the person second in line. That second person will then attempt to draw that idea/thing, and when they are finished, they will send a note with that drawing to the next person in line. That person will then guess what the second person tried to draw, and send their guess onto the next person. That person will then have to draw the guess, etc. etc. until it reaches the end of the chain. When it reaches the last person, that person will send their guess back to the first person, and the first person will see what their idea/thing ended up as. If they wish, they can get everybody to send in their art and guesses, and make a chain of those to see how it got to the result! 

Why?
To have fun, of course! The goal is to get the community involved and have fun together. So join in! :iconexcitedlaplz:

How to participate:

Of course, everybody can host their own ATG if they'd like, but here's how to join mine:
  • Comment below saying that you'd like to join
  • Read and understand the rules before you comment
  • :+fav: this journal
Rules:
I shall try to keep this short and simple xD

Regarding you
  • Your account must contain at least 5 pieces of original artwork or have made over 300 comments
Regarding guesses
  • Make guesses simple. (Do not say 'a pot to the left of the stove, which has a dial that shows the temperature of 150 degrees. The pot has stuff inside and it looks like food, and there's steam rising out of the pot on its left side.' Simply say, 'steaming pot that's cooking.')
  • Make guesses specific. (Do not say 'a green animal'. Say, 'a frog'.) 
  • Include only one guess. (Do not say, 'this might be a frog, or it might be a snake'.)
Regarding artwork
  • Do not put any text in your artwork. It's alright if it's a symbol, such as the 'S' on superman's shirt if you're drawing him. There is no fine line of what's a symbol and what's not, so just use your common sense.
  • No animation.
  • Please upload your image into sta.sh, not into your gallery! 
  • A simple sketch is fine! All you have to do is try to convey your subject.
Regarding contacting
  • Send a note to the next person in line when you are done. DO NOT leave a message on their profile. 
  • Send the note to both the next person and to me. This way I can keep track of things and easily do a roundup of everything at the end. PLEASE TITLE YOUR NOTE 'ATG #(whatever number you are see the sign up list for your number)' This way I know not to open it until the end.
  • You get 3 days to do your drawing/guess. This should be plenty of time, because you just have to do a simple drawing/messy sketch. If I do not receive a note from you within 3 days of the previous person noting you, I will remove you from the game and ask the previous person to send their note to the person after you. 
  • If you happen to miss your turn for whatever reason, contact me and I will add you to the bottom of the chain.
  • Do not give any clues to anyone. This includes leaving clues in the title or description of the image. 
  • When you are commenting to sign up, say 'this is awesome!!!' (you have to include the three exclamation marks) so I know you've read the rules.
  • Copy paste the 'regarding contacting' section of the rules to the next person in line along with your guess/drawing in a note. 
Phew, that actually came out shorter than expected, so yay! :dummy:

(now this is common sense, but if you receive a note with a guess, you draw it. If you receive a drawing, you guess.)

Sign up list: 
The number beside you is 'your number'

1. verkik 
2. Wayfir 
3. leiyue  
4. TeamCapumon
5. Ailithir 
6. Arichy (everyone's number is moved up by 1, sorry for confusion)
7. Clamdiggy  
8. KeplerNova 
9. MillionPM 
10. ilovemybirdies4 
11. VivaFariy  
12. 01yao 
13. UszatyArbuz 
14. japanmk109 
15. Amarantheans 
16. Jay5Fox 
17. AKFeniks 
18. Diluculi 
19. morArthfael 

Unfortunately you'll have to either be drawing or guessing and can't do both :noes: Odd numbers will be guessing, even numbers will be drawing. 

If you have any questions/concerns/suggestions, feel free to contact me :D

Oh, and also, feel free to spread the word around :la:. It's more fun with friends!





I'm excited :iconexcitedlaplz: This is gonna be fun! It should only take a few minutes of your life, so why not join in? :D
