Following the "success" of Mafia, we move on to our next game, Dixit. No special powers to confuse Ralph here.
Each player gets 6 secret pictures. On your turn, as the story teller you describe (but don't reveal yet) one of your pictures in any form you choose, a single word, a poem, heck link to the a music video from 1982... Whatever you like. Each player then chooses in secret a picture from their own 6 and all get shown by me in the thread. All players other than the story teller then vote in secret via pm a picture other than their own that they think is the story teller's (typically the one that best matches the description given).
Each player also gets a 7th special picture that relates to their TMUK forum presence in some way.
Scoring: 1 point for everyone that chooses your picture (max 3), scores double if this is your special picture! 3 points if you choose the story teller's picture (5 points if it is their special) 3 points for story teller if at least one, but not all people choose their picture (5 points if this is your special picture)
So the trick as story teller is to give a clue that is obvious enough that some people can guess it, but not all and not so generic that no one guesses it and other people will have a picture that maybe better matches it. The trick for other players is to choose a picture that others will think is the story teller's (so don't reveal which is yours). The more votes you get when you're not the story teller, the more points you get.
Everyone then gets a new picture, back up to 6 to choose from for the next round.
First to 20 points wins.
Who's in?

It's also not a game thay requires a lot of in thread discussion in between rounds, but once the pictures are up for voting feel free to try to steer people towards your own. Forgot to say - the vote is secret.

IT BEGINS.
Each player has been sent their first selection of pictures! 6 normal pics, and a special picture which will score them extra points as the story teller. There's a link between the picture and them as a forum user, so the picture in and of itself is a clue.
The first player to be the story teller is SHOCKPROWL.
DO NOT POST IN THE THREAD THE PICTURE YOU CHOOSE, ONLY POST THE DESCRIPTION! And remember, make the description obvious enough that people can guesses it, but generic enough that not everyone guesses it.
If anyone else wants to play, they can still join at any time.

This is how he should have appeared! All players PM me your choice of pic that you feel matches this description. When I have all 7, I will randomly order them and and post in the thread for player selection. So far submitted: Shockprowl, Martin, blue, browny, Pinwig, user 3Waiting for: RalphAdditional special rule wot I forgot... If you submit your special picture when it is someone else's turn as the story teller, it scores 2 points per vote (max 6 points). If you're unsure of any picture and want more details, look at the URL. They're all from tfwiki.net. and the image filename gives a decent description. And don't forget, you get a new picture every round, so if you feel stuck, just play a picture that you don't mind losing.

You don't need to. Look at the pictures Stom sent you by PM and then message him back the number of the one you think best matches Shockprowl's description.

I...I... How do I send a picture via PM? PHIL!!! -Ralph I knew you'd be trouble! Although the variant of allowing people to choose from any image they can find on tfwiki did occur to me, rather than the random selection I provided, but having a fixed set is more akin to the original game.

You have until 9pm BST Saturday to PM which image you think matches Shockprowl's description! Feel free to discuss the pictures and try to convince people that they should vote for a particular one, remember Shockprowl gets no points if you all vote for him. This is how he should have appeared!... Image 1: Image 2: Image 3: Image 4: Image 5: Image 6: Image 7: I have picked one of Ralph's pictures at random, any votes for Ralph score -1 point and 2 for him (no max)!

Clearly everyone should be voting image 1.

Pffft. Am I really that obvious? Forget not, I've been trained by Prowl himself.

Post by Pinwig on Sept 22, 2018 9:53:15 GMT
That's a good point. Now I'm confused.
Right. So let's look at this logically. Which Transformers in those images does Shockprowl actually know? If Image one is a red herring, then it's got to be Megatron.
Image 6! vote Image 6!

Well, there's a coupla MEGATRON and Optimi. Ratbat from one of the Dreamwave comics, when he was leader of the Ultracons (never read the comic but read about the story when I was researching Ratbat one time). Aaaand I'm out.

Post by Pinwig on Sept 22, 2018 10:21:51 GMT
Yeah, but you're a pure hearted G1 boy. You do not think Ratbat should look like that.
Do you?
Honestly? In your heart of hearts? deep down in that beard?
