This is a really fun game. It works better IRL, but I'mma see if I can get it to work on a forum.
==RULES==
Each round should have approximately 5-15 participants, and preferably an odd number, but even works too. When the "current status" is "recruiting participants", post in this thread saying you want to join, and I'll add you to the list.
Once we have enough participants for a round, each person sends a private message to the person directly below them on the list (the person on the bottom of the list sends one to the person on the top). The only restrictions are that the title of the PM must be "Telepictionary: round <insert round number here>, part 1" and the PM must be TEXT ONLY. You may use formatting (bold, italics, font, size, color, etc) and smilies, but no pics, links, youtube, etc. Other than that, the PM can contain any text you want.
Now, assuming everyone does this, you will receive a PM from the person above you on the list. You must now forward this PM to the person below you on the list (the same person you sent your original PM to), with a few modifications. First, remove the "Fw: " that vBulletin puts at the beginning of the message title. Second, change "part 1" to "part 2". Third, replace the automatically generated QUOTE tags in the message with SPOILER tags. Finally, add a single image AFTER the spoiler tags which depicts the text that was originally sent to you.
Again, you will receive a PM from the person above you. The PM will contain a spoiler followed by an image. DO NOT OPEN THE SPOILER, look ONLY at the image, and forward the message to the person below you on the list, following the same steps as before, except changing "part 2" to "part 3" and instead of adding an image, add text which describes the image.
Keep repeating this process of incrementing the part number and alternating between text and an image, until you receive a PM where the part # is the number of participants. If everything was done correctly, this should be the original message you sent out coming back to you (your original message will be buried in a bunch of nested spoiler tags). When you receive this message, post it on this thread, and I'll link your name in the list to your post. Once all posts are in, we laugh at the hopefully hilarious results and move to the next round.
For the first round, let's try to keep the number of participants pretty small, to reduce the likelihood of something getting messed up.
