GeorgeBailey's chain should be "G"

for GeorgeBailey

GeorgeBailey's chain should be a newly invented ligature for GB

[Jake The Wolfie]

Similar to how Christograms refer to Jesus Christ, A Bailogram refers to George Bailey

I believe I have now sent everyone a sentence to draw. If you didn't receive anything or have another concern, please let me know! (e.g. if I sent you back your own sentence, I probably just copy-pasted from the wrong spot but please let me fix it)

[Outer Space]

Chain Progress 24 hours in

Yes, more than half of you are overachieving and have done at least one drawing!

Legend:

Even rounds are drawing tasks and odd rounds are sentence tasks.
IP = In progress. I've sent out the task and haven't gotten a response yet.
Done = Sentence is written but the drawing is being held until another drawing is done. That's the default policy; only one player has asked me to send them drawing tasks even if they already have one.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Am I putting too much effort into my pictures? Yes.
Do I care? No.
Would it be much better for me and the game if I just hurried up and used a simpler artstyle? Probably yes.

[Gamma Emerald]

I spent 30 minutes in Paint on my first picture, I am proud of my output

[Cheery Dog]

Am I putting too much effort into my pictures? Yes.

No such thing.


The more effort you put in, the better my lack of effort will be.

Right?

i drew a master piece

[DragonEater70]

So today was the first time since maybe second grade (so, about 14 years ago) that I used watercolors.

It was definitely fun but I am not sure the result could be described with any positive adjectives.

[Cheery Dog]

Fun is always the most important one though.

I may or may not update this that consistently going forward, but here's the almost 48 hours in status update:



It's not a coincidence that R2 IP = R3 Done. Basically, everyone who's still drawing for their round 2 has their round 4 drawing task waiting for them when they do. I'll probably send out some gentle reminders for those folks soon. Those of you who haven't gotten any sentence tasks yet should be seeing one come through pretty soon. About 1/3 of the player list has no open tasks.

[DragonEater70]

Fun is always the most important one though.

True!

[ORAM]

I will draw today

[Outer Space]

We do have one chain running slow that's causing another chain to be a little slower as well. I'm working on confirming if I need a replacement artist; please feel free to let me know if someone's available in case I do.

We also have one chain that's in the lead, and other than that, everything's on Round 4-6 which is quite good.

[Outer Space]

bugspray has requested replacement; I have their current tasks divided up (thank you DragonEater70, StrangerCoug and Ausuka) but I will need help with another drawing pretty soon and would like another volunteer.

[N]

I've done 3 drawings and no writings so far

and now it's weekend and I'll have more free time I bet I won't get any

[Outer Space]

Starting to see more divergence between faster and slower chains, but overall we're progressing well. We started less than 6 days ago, so

If needed i can do another drawing

[Outer Space]

Most chains are between R6 and R8 right now (out of 13). We might get out first reveals pretty soon as well. Exciting!

Also, I want to shout out fireisredsir and xofelf for helping fill in on some replacement tasks. ambic will likely get the extra round 10 drawing when it's available and there will be the round 12 one up for grabs later.

[Bellaphant]

I can fill in

[Outer Space]

Thanks Bella!

As far as the overall game update: We're officially done with Round 5 on all chains! And I expect we will get our first reveal by this weekend. I've been trying to stay a bit better on top of prods. I think the general progress still looks good, so I've being fairly lenient as people have situations come up.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Can we get an animated graph for a timeline of submissions at the end of the game?

uh, like just all the graphs I've been posting combined into a video, or something different?
