Circle Game

Welcome to nattily.org's greatest project ever! Remember that game you played in elementary school (okay fine, your senior year of high school) when you would all sit in a circle, each write a sentence, pass it to the next player who draws a picture of your sentence, and who passes to the next person who writes a sentence, and it keeps going and going until everyone is making fun of the slut or the Jew or whatever? Well we're doing it nattily style!!

If you've never played the game, here's the basic gist (note that it does not actually require making fun of minorities or whatever): Any number of players each write a sentence. The sentence can be anything at all: completely nonsensical, really really long, only composed of abstract nouns and helper verbs, or whatever you want. The only other person who sees this sentence is the person immediately next in line. This person then draws a picture of whatever the sentence says, using no letters, numbers, or symbols. He then covers up the original sentence and passes the picture to the next player. This person writes what they think the original sentence was based on the picture, and passes it to the next player who draws that, and it goes round and round. It's like telephone, but badass. Also, remember it's not just one sentence being passed around. If there are ten players there are ten games being played simultaneously, and they all subconciously affect each other.

So you're interested in playing (you should be) read the rules and then go sign up.

Also, I know it's long and boring, but please read the rules. Or at the very least, the stuff in bold. Otherwise things just get crappy.

you found me
