[Open] Beta Test: MSPaint Collaborative Edition

[nothing]

Ok. I've had an idea. It may be nonsense. It may be brilliant. But I need help to test it!

The Concept:
A describer and a painter are paired up for the duration (maybe a week or 2 weeks). 

A single starting image is divided into 4, 9 or 16 pieces. Or however many pairs had signed up. 

All PMs would go through the host, as per usual MSPaint. 

Each describer receives a piece of the overall image, along with it's position (top right, for example). The usual 10 word description is done.

The associated painter gets the position plus the description. Maybe dimensions? Might be too complicated, so let's say whether it's square or rectangular (important later). Paint as usual. 

This image is then sent back to the describer. Another 10 words can now be used to help adjust to look more like the original. Possibly an option to adjust or start over? If adjusting, the painter will reuse their first image, if starting over, well they start over...

The new details are sent back to the painter. They either adjust their first image with the further description, or start over using both descriptions.

Repeat once more, so 3 descriptions/paintings in total.

The final paintings would be combined, with resizing etc done by the host so they fit together as a single image.

Reveal would be... Original image, then either each round from each pair or each pairs 3 rounds, then the final combined image!

So! I need 8 volunteers, 4 painters and 4 describers, to be my Guinea pigs help me test this out.

Who's in?!

[Leg End Reject]

I'll describe! 

[nothing]

Open to questions, comments, constructive criticism and feedback!

Been thinking again, might be more exciting to rotate the images to different describers each round, forget about trying to match it up to the original

[Kol]

Cool concept, sure put me down for either please nothing.

[nothing]

Thanks @Kol

[Neowise]

in

[nothing]

We've got Leggy, Kol and Neo. Who else would like to help?

It'll just be 3 descriptions or paintings, won't be putting any time limits on it as it's really to test out the concept, will likely use a reasonably easy image too

[Trigger]

I can throw some descriptions around if needed

[nothing]

Thanks Trigger

There's no rush on this one

[Mam of 4]

okay, lets go........

[cee_jay]

I have a problem. Left right confusion reigns supreme here. Is it as you look at the picture? is there also a middle, or is it top right/left into the middle of top and bottom?

[nothing]

The image will be split in 4, and left to right as you see it

Top Left	Top Right
Bottom Left	Bottom Right

[nothing]

I'll sort an image this evening and get the ball rolling

[Leg End Reject]

This is going to go spectacularly wrong in the best possible ways!

[nothing]

I hope so!

[nothing]

Ok, I have a test image that I think works. I'll fire it off to ye in the morning when I get the pc on and split it properly

[Mam of 4]

I don't know whether to be excited , petrified , or both !

[aaronjennings]

I have no idea what's happening 

[nothing]

Just smile and nod.

[nothing]

Round 1 Describer PMs sent! Let the chaos begin!

[Trigger]

And returned

[Leg End Reject]

My description is back too, I could have done with a few more words!

[nothing]

Thank you Team Describe! Have all 4 and will pop them along to Team Paint shortly

[Trigger]

My description is back too, I could have done with a few more words!

This is going to be mad, cause only needed about 5 words so stretched out the sentence a bit

[cee_jay]

My description is back too, I could have done with a few more words!

This is going to be mad, cause only needed about 5 words so stretched out the sentence a bit

I needed your leftover words

[nothing]

Descriptions sent on to our painters! No rush on anyone, this is just a tester game

[Leg End Reject]

@nothing is this going ahead?

[nothing]

Oh! Sorry, I'd totally forgotten, I was waiting on one painting and I can't remember who it was, possible I forgot to send a pm somewhere! I'll double check tomorrow and give a poke where needed

[Trigger]

Ah.. that's what happens when you are a big bad mod
