Pokémon iSketch Events
 
Welcome to PC's GT2013 iSketch event! iSketch is like an online version of Pictionary, where you use your mouse/trackpad/tablet/what have you to draw pictures based on the words you're given and have people guess the word! No artistic abilities required! As always, the theme will be Pokemon!

How to Play


The game [typically] consists of 10 rounds where one person is given a word to draw, while the other players will try to guess it within a designated time.

As the Guesser: Click on the "Game" window to make it yellow, meaning it's active. Type in your guesses in the text input box. Your guesses are visible to the other players except when you are close to, or have guessed the word. When you have guessed correctly, your name will turn red. The quicker you guess the word, the higher your score.

As the Artist: You will have a specific amount of time to draw the word. You will be able to see the guesses and know how the players are doing. Clicking on the "Give HINT" button will reveal blanks corresponding to the puzzle. The second click will supply the first letter of the word. The third click will give out the second letter. Because hints will significantly increase your chances of getting the word guessed, your score will be reduced by 2 points per hint.

As soon as a player has guessed the word, the hint button will disappear. You have the option to conclude the game as soon as one player has guessed the word, by pressing the "DONE" button. If you wish to pass on the word, press the "SKIP" button.

The round will end when any of the following occurs:
~ Time runs out.
~ The artist decides to end the round. This is done by clicking SKIP or DONE.
~ The artist doesn't draw anything within the first 20 seconds.
~ After a set time (usually 20 seconds) following the first correct guess.
~ If enough players press the "Warn Artist" button when the artist violates any drawing rule.
~ If any rule is violated and the artist is skipped over by an administrator.

Scoring

Artist:
The artist receives 10 points for the first correct guess.
One (1) point for each additional guess is awarded, up to a maximum of 5, and a total earning potential of 15 points per round.
Two (2) points is deducted for each hint used.
Guesser:
The first guesser is awarded 10 points.
The 2nd guesser is awarded 9 points, 3rd guesser gets 8 points and so on, with a minimum of 5 points.
The scoring system ensures a big payout for guessing quickly, drawing effectively and getting as many correct guessers as you can. While using the hint button helps with your drawing and therefore getting more players to guess your word, use only when absolutely necessary.

The game board looks like this:



These are the drawing tools:



This is a list of the commands:




Rules

  1. Please RESPECT the OTHER USERS, this include no trolling, no put downs, no making fun of them, and no bad sportsmanship. It's a two way thing so Respect the user of how you want to be respected.
  2. There may be only use of one browser for the game, unless the default isn't working, or can't troubleshoot the problem, you may use another one. (Recommended Browser: Google Chrome.)
  3. Profanity is allowed, although don't use it excessively.
  4. No posting of links irrelevant to the game, this includes anything that is pornographic or inappropriate, major consequences will be taken into action by the hosts.
  5. No drawing/writing genitalia/anything sexually suggestive/etc. on the drawing board. This includes the above rule. You will be immediately kicked from the room. HOWEVER, you may write it in the guessing/chat boxes, but try not to do so too often. There are people who are uncomfortable with those sorts of things, after all.
  6. Do not give away the answer by writing it in the chatbox (if you are the Guesser; an exception to this is if you do it by accident) or in the drawing box (if you are the Artist). Doing so takes all the fun out of guessing. If you want to show how many letters/words there are in the word/phrase, use the Hint box rather than draw it.
  7. Last but not least, HAVE FUN! :D This is meant to be fun after all so bring your "A" game and have a blast, there will be emblems given out for those who participated and for those who win a game!

Alrighty, well, since we've missed the first session (well I accidentally slept in), I've started a new one right now!

Just jump in iSketch, and find the room that's labeled 'PC'GT 2013'! It'll most likely last for 2hrs. Enjoy. :3
