Has that been happening? Most of the tine I think it happens because someone forgot as aspect of their sentence.

[StrangerCoug]

Yeah. For Bahamut, I didn't color my picture and it's usually hard to accurately portray planets with line art alone, so that may play a major factor in the mutations there. I'm pretty disappointed in how quickly the street racing element got lost from my chain, though.

In hindsight, the fact that there were 2 spheres and the Earth should have made me realize that you were drawing planets, but I was sleepy when describing your picture and the idea didn't occur to me. Instead it stood out to me that Darth Maul (who I at first was going to describe as a nun...) was holding something attached to what looked like an apple and that the other thing he was holding looked strangely like a golf club. The fact that the fish's laser really did look to me like a tongue pushed me away from the "beams of energy" type of interpretation and I just went with golf club and fruit yoyo instead.

It interests me that you can see people's sphere of references, like allocating drawings anime characters (who I had to look up before drawing), or the 'flying spaghetti monster', or the use of slang: I'm not cool enough to know what 'trillest' means, but 'chav' is (to me) a very UK-based term.

[Axxle]

Well I just submitted a Jaden Smith tweet so I didn't really know what trillest means either

[Telephone Cat]

Trogdor is up!

[Shanba]

I'm done all out every prompt complete what do what do.

Actually, secretly, I'm glad I don't have to draw anything any more? It is a fairly sizable commitment, this thing. I like the frequency at which it runs.

[Telephone Cat]

Yeah, there's a reason I don't run it all the time. Everyone's enthusiasm kind of dried up when we did them all back to back, and that's when signups filled at all. I like being able to ride that first-week burst of energy.

Anyway, Orochi is up!

[Cheery Dog]

That probably means nobody knows what it means.

[The Bulge]

Orochi is probably my favorite chain so far. That was wild.

[xofelf]

Oh that was everything I hoped it would be. You're all beautiful people.

[Telephone Cat]

Qinglong is up!

"The green rain of anger does not fall upon the innocent."

It's purposefully obtuse as to what's going on in the photo. I get that it's a valid interpretation. But uh. It's so mystical and out there that nobody could really draw that correctly.

[xRECKONERx]

orochi was amazing

What

In the picture I was describing I could see a policeman who was arresting a man who was angry, a bystander who was happy (and who, depending on how I interpreted perspective, might have had a gun aimed at him...I decided that was unlikely given that he was happy), and what I assumed was a police car on a road. Miscellaneous features: there are short green and black vertical-ish lines. So sure, I could have said "A man is angered by his arrest next to a police car and in the midst of a bunch of short green and black vertical lines, while a bystander who might or might not have a gun pointed at him is happy." But...that basically means nothing and there was no way that what the picture was supposed to be. It was obviously important that one man was angry and one man wasn't or it wouldn't have been included so prominently, but the picture didn't give a clear reason for it (there was no causal link shown between the arrest and the happiness of the bystander). I figured it should be either the fact that he wasn't being arrested (but why would someone be happy they're not being arrested? isn't that the default state of being for most people?) or it was the green and black lines. So I chose the green and black lines, but the green lines stood out more so I called it green rain. In hindsight, "green and black rain" might have been better but whatever. Yeah, the next picture isn't going to look exactly the same based on my description, but it could still have gotten the same point across, if the point of the previous picture was what I interpreted it as being. Is that a problem?

[Telephone Cat]

Yeah, I thought DRK's sentence there made perfect sense.

Anyway, I need a replacement for Axxle in Eustace! {Bins, Cheery Dog, DrippingGoofball, N, Not_Mafia, StrangerCoug} can take it, as well as anyone not playing.

[Cephrir]

I'll take it.

[Telephone Cat]

Sent!

[Telephone Cat]

Round 10 is COMPLETE.

[Bellaphant]

[Telephone Cat]

Drogon is up!

[Telephone Cat]

Eustace is up!

It was really stable, for a chain that was blatantly made on drugs. I've been sooooooooooo tempted to just send around The Bulge's picture out of context since he first sent it. That goes right in the hall of fame with DGB's old picture of Dorothy in hell.
