Been a while, so I though I'd try reviving this thing for a round.
This would be round XIX or 'Season 2' round V.
I'll be you host smuchmuch.
No co-host this time, unles ssomeone volunteer.
Pinky (known as araveugnitsuga or Pink hair august) volunteered back So he'll be your co host.
Losts in time, used to be Fin,our original host, and Eleanor_Rigby.
The rules pretty much copy pasted from last thread:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So, what is this about ?
It's a simple little 'secret Santa' like game.
The steps:
You post your interest in thread as long as there's still some place. (If not theres a wishlist for next round, see details later in this post.. when the list is filled, the game starts.
To each participant another randomly selected participant is assigned as target and you have to 'draw' for them.
You'll get a PM that goes along the lines of :
Hello, I'm your host X.
Your target is X
Our theme is X; the deadline is set at X
Adendum : Normaly there are two co_hosts doing this but here I dunno.
When you are done, send your stuff to the host (or the co host you have been assigned to, if there's a co host).
(Just to be clear: That means you don't post it in the thread, yourself. It isn't dramatic and we won't hate you forever or anything if you do, it just kind of defeat the point of the guessing round for those who want to do it)
After the deadline (Generally a week after the challenge as begun), all of the results are pooled and revealed anonymously in a big list by one of the hosts.
Like this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=13565787&postcount=40)
There's a second phase of two or three days when everyone can take a guess as who has drawn who.
Like this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=13566225&postcount=44), for example
Taking part in this is by no mean mandatory but it can be interesting.
Finally the hosts make a reveal post saying who did what and for who.
Like this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=13590054&postcount=57)
And that's about it.
General guidelines
Despite the fancy name, you don't have to be friends or even know each others for this; yes you can participate if you are new around here and a complete stranger (your designated artist may have to be a bit more resourcefull than usual , they tend to be anyway). we alway appreciate seeing new faces aroud here.
When the participant list is full, the game starts and the theme and deadline are given.
The theme is generally pretty broad and by no means mandatory.
Old themes are indicated near previous competition. We haven't arrived to the point where we need to repeat them yet.
You'll notice the draw is in brackets. Most people generally do an avatar based on the avatar of the target and the theme. but we also have a number of larger drawings (both digitals and scanner paper works), comics, and we even had a small video game and homemade cookies (well photos of, anyway).
So far it has always been visual art, but the rules say nothing to forbid you to create a custom soundtrack or a small novel, if you're feeling particularly courageous or original. There's no particular limit on format or number of pieces either as long as the final result can be showed in a way that can be send by Pm to the hosts (or a link to at least) and posted in the thread later.
Weither you draw the person itself or their avatar (wich many do) or one or their Rp characters, or make something from their personal information or so, is up to you
Time limit and workload.
The time limit is generaly one week after the game officially started (it'll be announced in thread) but it's flexible (last time it was nine days for example).
Should some problem arise or just plain writting block, it is possible to ask to push back the deadline a bit by asking in thread or though Pm to one of the host. (you generally get one day or two)
It's sometime possible that the deadline find itself pushed by default if one of the host is having trouble of his/her own.
If really you couldn't finish by the deadline, it is still possible to send in the space between the first anonymous showing and the reveal.
However: Please don't sign up unless you think you can commit to the challenge.
DYF is a pretty informal challenge, you don't have to pull your hairs for a whole week and produce an astonishing master piece, it's really the though that counts and chances are your target will appreciates the result no matter what. But nothing to show at all, not so appreciated.
There used to be this thing where there was a wishlist for people who want to participate but couldn't, either for reasons of their own or becasue there were'nt any more places. You could ask to be in the next round providedyou weren't in this one.
If we get lots of people and a second round is probable, I'll revive it but otherwise I don't think I'll bother this time
