Draw Something

[hypernova]

You know the sad thing about kungfu is I've had that before and drew it.  The no-spaces in multi-word answers can mess you up sometimes.

I thought it was some fruitcake dancing the jig or something, and you were saying "hiya!" as a greeting, nephasth.

[Nephasth]

Sorry man... only have it on my phone and I don't get that great of resolution drawing with my fingers...

[elkameleon]

here are some of my latest drawings that I actually enjoyed.

[elkameleon]

Another I did for my brother...

[hypernova]

Ever find yourself saying "I'm spending waaaaay too much time doing this..."

I'm only doing a few, and I think I spend way too much time doing some of these drawings.

[elkameleon]

Ever find yourself spening way too much time working on arcades? Yup, thats what hobbies are for. I like to draw, so there!

[hypernova]

Nope...my arcade's been down for nearly two years.  I've yet to spend the money and fix it.

Your drawings are great, no doubt about it!

[Generic Eric]

Just received my touch pen.  Prepare to be dazzled!

[shmokes]

The Boggle thing sort of irritates me--where someone just starts randomly throwing letters into the boxes as fast as they can before a single line has even been drawn. It's not an anagram game, and you get no extra points for speed. Take some Adderall and watch the drawing.

I honestly think it's a little bit rude to play this way. It's a two player game, and part of the fun for the other player is to see how effective their drawings were--hence why the game lets you watch the other try to figure out the answer. But  , maybe it's equally rude for me to make elaborate drawings that take three minutes to draw when I could have drawn something in 30 seconds that would probably have given away the answer just as well.

[Nephasth]

One thing I've noticed, when watching someone guess my drawing, they knew the answer extremely fast... before anything was really drawn. Well if you exit the app while watching the drawing being made and go back, it starts over fresh. I got interrupted watching a drawing that was nearly finished, and when I went back to it, I already knew the answer so was able to type it in really early during the "guess" turn... Might come off as rude, but I did watch the whole drawing the first time...

The boggle thing, well, there's not a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- ton of words and many can be guessed quickly without a drawing.

[shmokes]

Naw . . . it's certain users. They do it every time. And they won't necessarily guess it right away. But they're just plugging away at the letters non-stop from the very beginning, often spelling things that are obviously not even words. It's bizarre and also pretty common.

[elkameleon]

I do it with stupid words, like one time i was able to spell out "penisjis", I thought it was pretty funny.

[hypernova]

I'll do it here and there, as you've no doubt seen, but I won't just keep doing it over and over.  I'll give it one or two shots.  (Half the time I miscount the number of letters in the word, and try putting in a word that's one extra letter.)

I had a group of letters that spelled out "--missioncontrol--" once.  It was an 8 letter word too, so it worked out!

[Generic Eric]

Sorry folks, I didn't realize that guessing/fitting letters into spaces before the drawing was finished was a thing that bothered people.  When I do it before the drawing is finished, well that is kinda crappy.   Other times, its because I don't know the answer and I am trying to find something that fits instead of just wasting the turn.

[Ginsu Victim]

Yeah, there's no incentive. There should be a multiplier that kicks in at certain points.

[elkameleon]

no, cause then you get them stupid people who will pair up and just write out the words and grind the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of it.

[hypernova]

The only incentive is pride.  Isn't that all you need?

[Ginsu Victim]

no, cause then you get them stupid people who will pair up and just write out the words and grind the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of it.

Let them. Anyone who actually wants to play will discontinue any games with them, then they've done that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- for nothing.

[Mikezilla]

Am I missing it or does this game not really have any incentive for epically long games?  I've gotten to round 30ish with a couple of you and it seems like we're still getting the same number of coins per round.  Without some kind of bonus there's no real reason not to skip turns.

 

My sister and I got to 99, not only does it stop there, you dont get some mega coin bonus or anything.

I was playing a lot just to get new colors, I'm running out of steam now that I have green  

Although Nephasth and I had back to back Skyrim references.  He drew the dragon logo and I did an "archery" to the knee.

[hypernova]

no, cause then you get them stupid people who will pair up and just write out the words and grind the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of it.

Yes, but if the devs did do that, they'd lose out on people who were too impatient as it stands now (cough shmokes cough) and just bought the extra color palettes.  I.e, they'd have less people paying actual cash for the colors.

[shmokes]

 

What can I say. The app was free. $5 is a small price to pay for all the fun I've had with it. Also, at this point, I've bought more colors with earned coins than purchased ones. I've never used coins on bombs, purchased or earned.
