[Sephiroth_Dude]

[quickbeam]

Excited and nervous in equal measure.

[nothing]

So off to thomil went our original image... This may surprise some of you!

[RSOAPS]

I may have described twice, but I've already forgotten both my descriptions, so no clue what to expect...  

[Necro]

[nothing]

Thomil provided a very accurate description for quickbeam

Silent black-suited alien, blue patterns swirling in the background

[ari101]

Ahhhhh well maybe one thing came from that image? maybe???

[BuileBeag]

Yay I made it home just in time!!!

[Leg End Reject]

[quickbeam]

Ahhhhh well maybe one thing came from that image? maybe???

If something was lost, it wasn't my fault   My drawing is EXACTLY like the original

[nothing]

Quickbeam fired back this perfect rendition. He's very dapper. 

[ari101]

Oh wow that is such a good representation!

[nothing]

Cee_jay was our next describer and rose to the occasion with this for aaronjennings

Wavy blue white background, grey skinny alien wearing black tux

[aaronjennings]

Oooooohhhhh...

Of course, how did I not guess that was the starting picture?

[BuileBeag]

Thats actually great quickbeam! Exactly the description!

[ari101]

Given we only have 8 links, a lot has yet to become clear

[nothing]

Aaronjennings was spot on, almost can't tell the difference between his and quickbeams!

[ari101]

Haha, these are great, I always think it is really interesting to see the similarities when the images are simpler.

P.S. I think I see the origins of something else from my (Soapy's) description

[quickbeam]

Great details AJ, love the little pocket square included too.

[Leg End Reject]

Given we only have 8 links, a lot has yet to become clear

[BuileBeag]

Wow they're so similar. That almost never happens.

[nothing]

This may be where things went a little off the rails... Soapy's first description of this game to be sent on to Neowise

Alien in a bowtied tuxedo oblivious to blue flying snakes

[BuileBeag]

Haha leggy!!!

[BuileBeag]

This may be where things went a little off the rails... Soapy's first description of this game to be sent on to Neowise

Alien in a bowtied tuxedo oblivious to blue flying snakes

Aaah it becomes much clearer

[ari101]

Given we only have 8 links, a lot has yet to become clear

I'll forgive you because you are a fluffy cat (anyway it's Necro's fault) (there will be nothing to forgive  )

[nothing]

Neowise does exactly as he's told with this masterpiece...

[ari101]

This may be where things went a little off the rails... Soapy's first description of this game to be sent on to Neowise

Alien in a bowtied tuxedo oblivious to blue flying snakes

Aaah it becomes much clearer

Confirming some of my suspicions too!

(If you don't want to quote a whole chain how can you delete all the earlier stuff properly...? One for the OT/Housekeeping section I suppose)

[Leg End Reject]

This is hilarious!

[ari101]

That's excellent, even if flying snakes are wigging me out a bit, eughghghghg

[quickbeam]

(If you don't want to quote a whole chain how can you delete all the earlier stuff properly...? One for the OT/Housekeeping section I suppose)

Just delete the bits you don't want. You may find it easier to do that by pressing the View Source button which is top right (Ctrl+Shift+S).

[nothing]

Trigger took one long, hard look and even had an extra word to play with, as his description was ready for tusk

Alien in tuxedo, 4 blue snakes in the sky, wohooo

[BuileBeag]

He has antennas now!

[RSOAPS]

(If you don't want to quote a whole chain how can you delete all the earlier stuff properly...? One for the OT/Housekeeping section I suppose)

Hit the last button on the right side of a text editor that looks like an A4 page with writing on it, it's the HTML editor, so you can then just cut any of the extra quote-age that you don't want.

[ari101]

Just delete the bits you don't want.  You may find it easier to do that by pressing the View Source button which is top right (Ctrl+Shift+S).

Cheers, I could get the words but the boxes were staying, perfect!

[nothing]

Tusk slightly misread blue snakes as blue sky, but still produced a fab piece

[nothing]

I was actually surprised the alien in a suit lasted this long!

[ari101]

We are not getting that much closer to my description... But these are lovely alien imaginations!

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Ohhh so that's where the........came from
