A while ago, someone posted a game in which you had to guess the same word relating to a picture as someone else. It was an online game and you played with another anonymous online player. There were taboo words that were already guessed and that you couldn't guess.

I searched, but I could not find. What was it called and does anyone have a link?

Thank you [Smile]

EDIT: To explain more clearly.

I've never bumped one of my own threads before and I promise I'll never do it again, but...

Does no one remember?

I keep getting partners who don't type anything but colors. Or people who give up right away.

There are only 37 players. Let's see if we can up that number.
 
Posted by Intelligence3 (Member # 6944) on :
 
Grr, or people who type only one word!

How can you tell how many words they type?

This is a really neat game. Thanks for posting it...
 
Posted by Intelligence3 (Member # 6944) on :
 
Just guessing about how many words they try, but when you type a lot of words you get matches faster. I had a few games where it took forever to match.

Thank you, Jaiden!!

Oh no, I'm hooked...

Must...

Drag...

Self...

Away...

It's interesting, but I think they are failing their goal because people are "gaming" by finding the most basic elements (and shortest words) instead of trying to actually find the most descriptive keywords. I think the dependence on color words in particular isn't going to be very useful.

Ooh, just tried.

My partner and I did lousily. =)
 
Posted by Suneun (Member # 3247) on :
 
Ah. that time did much better. Got all but one, but it was pretty cheaty because there were lots of words in the pics that weren't taboo.

There are two hatrack names on the "Today's Best Players List" that I recognize at the moment. It's me on top and Intelligence3 just below me. I saw Teshi earlier [Smile]

Int3 is falling off... he must not be playing at the moment. What's weird is that I know my score is higher than about half the ones listed - and I've only been playing total since last night so it's definitely a "last 24 hours" score - yet I'm not showing up myself.

By the way, i'm playing there as Sewunicorn. Didn't even think to use the Goody name so others could see me LOL

Now there's an OSC630. Another hatracker perhaps? I haven't been playing for a while, but I'm still on top [Smile] . Not for long though.

"What's weird is that I know my score is higher than about half the ones listed - and I've only been playing total since last night so it's definitely a "last 24 hours" score - yet I'm not showing up myself."

Yeah, it took a while for me to show up as well. I just opened up the page after not playing for a couple of hours and found myself on top [Smile] . I'm guessing the same will happen to you.
