✓-list

• schedule
• Instructions on how to play the game
• Rules
• emblems
• Format for submission
• thread CSS design
• Points system
• anything else I've missed here
• or anything on this list that seems unnecessary

...Supposedly, the game board looks like this:

This is the typing page:

And this is the drawing page:

So I guess those can serve as instructions on how to play. We can discuss more on what to do here. n___n

 

[myrrhman]

I was doing the iSketch some last year, and the first couple of instances I played, the host had it set on 1 word. The only suggestion I have is to do multiple words, because some of them are near impossible to draw, and it sort of acts as a balance to that.

That being said, and depending on when the event is, I miiiiiight be able to help out some. I'll have to work most evenings, but since I have a nightish job, that also means I will be free during the day almost every day, when some other people might run into school conflicts.

Why you should hire me (lol): I play iSketch a lot, have co-created a wordlist (the League of Legends one), and am available at a potentially rare time.

Looks great, anything else is self explanatory imo.

You've got more experience than me, I don't think either of us sold ourselves as well as you just did in the first place either; I've got no objections. xD;

You two are in the same time-zone mind, that might be a disadvantage. However if Miss Doronjo isn't available when you say you are then you could be on to a winner.

For the record I'm able to do whatever hours work best for the both of you. Sleep is for the weak.

• Rules

Anything more than the standard PC rules is possibly unnecessary.

The only things you might have to add in an iSketch scenario would be to have rules against intentionally drawing something completely unrelated, or penises.

Usually though the two are one and the same.

• thread CSS design

I got this.

Instructions: When you start a game of iSketch, the game automatically selects someone to be the drawer, and everyone else is guessers. The drawer will have one (or more!) words that they can choose to try and draw, and the guessers try to guess what the picture is! If your guess is close or contains one of the words, the game will tell you that you're on the right track! Drawers get 10 points if at least one person guesses right, and an additional point for each other person that gets the answer right. On the flip side, the first person that gets the right answer gets 10 points, the second gets 9, and on and on all the way to 5. Once the points get down to 5, they stay there, so everyone will at least get some points! There are usually 10 to 15 rounds to play, so if you have a bad round guessing, don't give up. You can really catch up if there are a lot of people in the room and you draw something easy!

Quick note for the drawers: iSketch doesn't want people not being at the computer and making everyone wait the full time when they're drawing, so they only give you about 5 seconds to draw something. When its your turn to draw, just click in the drawing box to make a little dot or something so the game knows that you're there. Happy drawing!

Rules: I like the don't draw anything completely unrelated thing, but if there is an Admin of the room in there, they can just kick them out if they see it/people complain to them. I would probably add something for the guessers like "don't excessively guess common words like 'Town' 'Pokemon' 'Fang' or 'City' ". That kind of gets annoying to deal with, and though you can argue "oh, well its not cheating, other people can do that too", its just not in the spirit of the game.

Emblems/Points System: After the round is over, iSketch has a nice big fireworks display showing who won and stuff. Last year they just asked the person to take a screencap of their victory and send it to them, and there was one called "iPlayed iSketch" for everyone who participated in a few games, enough for the Admins to remember their names. There was another called 'iWon iSketch', and if you sent in your screencap, they gave it to you. Not too complicated, and I liked it.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Just so you know I'll go add myrrhman to the hosts list since he seems really enthusiastic for it (and keep your eyes out for someone else to cover another timezone - though if you can't find anyone else I'm from the Australian timezone and could help out if y'all needed).

 

[Miss Doronjo]

I'm avalible for any hours you are comfortable with as well~

Yeah, the rules and points system should be pretty self-explanatory, so no worries there~ The Intro and how to play section looks easy to understand too.

How about the format for submission? Something simple like... this?

[Miss Doronjo]

Sorry about the double post here.. But, I've pretty much constructed the 'skeleton thread' without the CSS.. based on what we've gathered so far:

https://www.isketch.net​

Hello, and welcome to the PC's Get Together iSketch thread! 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! The theme of course, will be Pokemon!


How to Play

When you start a game of iSketch, the game automatically selects someone to be the drawer, and everyone else is guessers. The drawer will have one (or more!) words that they can choose to try and draw, and the guessers try to guess what the picture is! If your guess is close or contains one of the words, the game will tell you that you're on the right track! Drawers get 10 points if at least one person guesses right, and an additional point for each other person that gets the answer right. On the flip side, the first person that gets the right answer gets 10 points, the second gets 9, and on and on all the way to 5. Once the points get down to 5, they stay there, so everyone will at least get some points! There are usually 10 to 15 rounds to play, so if you have a bad round guessing, don't give up. You can really catch up if there are a lot of people in the room and you draw something easy!

Quick note for the drawers: iSketch doesn't want people not being at the computer and making everyone wait the full time when they're drawing, so they only give you about 5 seconds to draw something. When its your turn to draw, just click in the drawing box to make a little dot or something so the game knows that you're there. Happy drawing!


Note, 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.

You can take a look at isketch's drawing page:

And this has all the commands:

Spoiler:

Rules

~ 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.
~ RESPECT OTHERS. Even if someone's a lousy guesser/artist/whatever, it's not nice to make fun of them for being that way.
~ No drawing/writing genitalia/anything sexually suggestive/etc. on the drawing board. 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.
~ You may only use one browser to play. However, if there are two or more users with the same IP they won't be kicked unless it can be proven they're the same person.
~ Cursing's allowed; just try not to go overboard with it, OK?

...I think I'm forgetting some things, so, you you guys have any more suggestions, more comments, or concerns?

The times and the Emblems still would have to be made, of course.

 

[myrrhman]

Honestly, that looks just fine to me. Once we post when the times are, if anyone has any questions (I don't see how they would unless they don't understand the concept of the game or something, and we really can't help them anymore than we already have), they can just join the game and either try it out or talk to one of us/someone who does know what's going on.

(Oh gosh that's amazing xD)

Alrighty! Would someone like to make the emblems? I'm sort of lacking Photoshop at the moment (at least until I go back to school on Monday anyhow).

The time shouls bee simply to figure out: we have between Monday September 24 and Sunday September 30. Should we go for the fill week, or only a couple of days (like...3-4?)

 

[ruby]

ta! :D

<Josephine|> doronjo i'll make the emblems tonight/tomorrow
* Retrieving #thepokecommunity modes...
[13:42] <Josephine|> can we just copy the same titles/rewards as last the get togethers.. or?
[13:42] <Doronjo> if that's okay

EMBLEMS

Talk about team-work! Thanks for participating in the 2011 GT8 Team-iSketch

iWon iSketch

Who knew you had it in you? You won a game of iSketch in the 2011 GT8 iSketch

iSketched The Best Sketch

The hosts really loved a sketch of yours in the 2011 GT8 iSketch

I'll just remake these then, not incl the team one, that cool?

The time shouls bee simply to figure out: we have between Monday September 24 and Sunday September 30. Should we go for the fill week, or only a couple of days (like...3-4?)

Here's the times from GT8's isketch thread aswell, fyi:

Times will be down in EST time. I know the last time I had trouble finding a good Timezone converter so I've got one here for you. There were quite a few who missed out due to being at a way off timezone having missed the allocated times.

We could just go with these again.

Again I'm avaliable 24/7 so any of those times that others can't do, I can.

 

[Miss Doronjo]

Yup! Just remake the descriptions too, and we should be set. :3

 

[myrrhman]

I can definitely do midday and afternoon every day, and I might be able to do some late nights too.

And is there any way we could change the emblems just a little bit? I think it would look weird if people had 2 of the same emblem for 2 different things.

 

[ruby]

Other than remaking the icon and descriptions, what would you suggest?
