I'm in for a game, how about a Grid or a corpse again? We haven't done one of those in a while.Mind we might need someone with decent organising skills to run that. Anyone seen Tre about, she ran the last one as I recall.

A touch of the Boings there, mook. Just to mention, so that everyone thinking about signing up for whatever game it becomes can do so with confidence, I shall neither partake or organise. After my shambles of a Jalopy I think that should be a given for all future "mong" games.

What's a corpse?  There was that snake one wasn't there?  That seemed pretty good.

That's the kiddie, I think we started from the centre and worked out from there to speed things up a bit. Seemed to work out quite well.

Yeah I think a corpse or a worm would be good. Anyway, If anyone's needed to help organise stuff I will volunteer - been meaning to do something for ages.

Grid is good fun.

Needs good admin though.

I'm keen even though my Photoshop ability involves just putting silly make-up on black and white photos.

I don't have a clue about snakes, corpses or worms but I'm sure I'll pick it up, bwana. My credo: add make-up.

Oh-fucking-yes.

Although, being a bit on the thick side, someone will have to explain the rules of the game very slowly for me.

Unless we're playing PaT or TSG

S'long as I can understand the rules then I'll more than likely play...

See this site (is it Tre's?) for some examples of previous ones: http://vw-worms.tripod.com/.

They're Photoshop variants on the the Exquisite Corpse game played by Surrealists and kids. They would draw a picture, fold the paper over so that only a little bit is showing, and pass it on to the next person to continue the picture without seeing what the previous person had done. The worm is a horizontal version where you get to see the whole of the preceding person's picture, and the grid is a bigger more complicated version of the worm.

Alright, I talked to Al, and I'm going to have a bash at coordinating a grid. It needs to be planned out, so I'll draw up a table in the next day or so and then we'll get started. If anyone else wants to play there's room for a few more. I count 13 players so far - 15 or 20 would be ideal, but it's easy enough to double up on any blank spaces if need be.

I look forward to it, even though it looks way beyond my abilities!
Quote from: "Explaining the worm,the tripod site"The next player must match their piece to this tile, so it continues to the left, without changing the original image.
They must also use either an image, idea or theme relating to the first tile in their tile, before passing it on to the next player.
Are we to do the same thing with our (up to 4) neighbours ? Or just making sure our picture stiches fine with the rest ?

As far as I can remember, depending where your square on the grid is you either have to match to one or two other squares. It's fairly straight forward once it gets started, and unlike the worm or a corpse you have the whole of other players squares to work from rather than just a slither of 50 or so pixels.

Yeah, and on the subject of carrying over a theme, it's not strictly essential but it's probably a good idea. The grid works best when the whole thing doesn't end up looking like a patchwork quilt, so anything you can do to prevent that is a good thing (along with a seamless join of course). Think of the big picture. Also, if you desperately need a source image for something the adjacent person has used so you can continue it into your own picture, you can ask them for it. Maybe that would spoil the challenge though, I don't know.

I'll post up fuller instructions later, along with a diagram showing everyone's position on the grid. Might start a new thread for the sake of clarity, unless Al can edit the title of this one (doubt it).

I just had a look through the exquisite corpse thread and its just red X's and banter :(

I think we've got 15 players now - plenty enough to get going. I'm off to start a new thread so see that for further details.

Don't feel you have to sit this out  - there's still room with you want to play.
