Draw my thing

[scottish]

I just seen 3 threads

Are we not supposed to be able to see them? or is the main section bugged as I can't see that.

[Kyle]

i wonder if this is a play on the Draw Something game but they dont realise that Draw My Thing is also a game by the same company

love the concept tho

[scottish]

I imagine they know and just copying the name.

But I dislike the way it's set up already, it's a closed competition so only graphics staff see your entries, it should be public so people can guess the entries as well rather than just gfx staff for a bit of banter tbh.

[Kyle]

i like it stop being negative

i posted a thread saying i want to play do i get a word yet

[scottish]

I'm not being negative I'm giving constructive feedback

As it stands it's a competition where you're just submitting something, behind the scenes stuff, you get a score.

when it could be turned into a competition with an audience kinda thing since the audience of the jungle failed ;lll

[Kyle]

but if it's left open to "audience" then people can just tell eachother what their word is and get free points. this is fairest way to do it, lets hope a different audience-centric event will crop up too :)

[scottish]

It doesn't even need to include audience participation (if fear of cheating) just the ability to see the images would be entertaining and I know I for one would view more entries, not sure about others.

[Phil]

Just letting ye know that I've rem your threads from the forum so they don't come up in New Posts as nothings has been announced yet . I don't know how you found it, assume it came up in new posts or something but yeah. Just removing it all to stop other people from posting in there as well even though it's obvious they shouldn't be :P

[Kyle]

er phil the thread says this

The cycle continues until the competition ends at 23:59 GMT on the 14th of April. However, there will only be a maximum of 15 tasks posted for each player throughout the competition, which is approximately one task per day.
and 15 days from now is 14th april
so i assume its meant 2 be starting today.......

[Phil]

It's not my task lol. I haven't even gotten around to reading about it yet. However, it hasn't been announced and the forum hasn't been made active so the competition hasn't started.

[wixard]

we need a new forum manager

[Phil]

Tara, you're just still in a huff I didn't let you in The Jungle, we were fine before you had your tantrum :rolleyes:

[Kyle]

i would say there has been a communication breakdown but there doesnt seem to be any communication between departments to begin with these days

[xxMATTGxx]

From what I'm aware of it's starting this evening but at the time of you posting the thread the forums weren't supposed to be active or indexing on the new posts search forum.

[scottish]

ah okay, well even better more chance for you to take our feedback on board!!!

[Phil]

i would say there has been a communication breakdown but there doesnt seem to be any communication between departments to begin with these days

Not a communication breakdown at all, the depts. got together and made the tasks, all I had to do was set up the forums which has been done. :)

[xxMATTGxx]

ah okay, well even better more chance for you to take our feedback on board!!!

Yeah sure. I'll tag the managers who are running the event - Yupt; Shonly; as it's Competitions Department event.

[scottish]

@shonely; i think

- - - Updated - - -

ok maybe not

[Inseriousity.]

Kyle's right, the nature of the competition means it has to be closed off to keep it fairer. Perhaps when it's all said and done there'd be an argument to have a portfolio of all the drawings and a 'bonus' competition where if you guess the most you win a prize but I think as it is now is really the only way you can do it.

[scottish]

to make my feedback more clear I'll put it this way.

Currently you have 1 thread for everything according to;


1. Post a thread in the Draw My Thing sub-forum, with your forum name as the thread title, telling us that you want to play! Your thread can only be viewed by the competition organisers and yourself.

2. Once you've posted your thread, we will reply with your first task. You will be given a choice of three words to draw: one easy, one medium and one hard. You choose one of these words to draw, and once you have finished, you post your choice of word and your drawing in the thread.

What I suggest is, sure with first part make the applications private, also post in it with the word for their task, but for the actual post have them post it in some public forum (in the draw my thing section) so people can actually see it instead of the same private thread.

This allows other members to look at it and guess, and something to do really even if you don't want to have some audience participation it's still entertaining to look over images people have drew and try to guess the answers.

The only way you'd be able to 'cheat' really is if you have public members telling the Staff members the answer, but that's already going to be a potential issue as staff members can tell each other the answers, and I trust you trust your staff enough to not cheat anyway so it won't be an issue.

So yeah
- Private thread for application, and each 'task' will be sent to them
- Public thread for each competition entry

Also surely the user should be able to start with the colour black!

[Inseriousity.]

Oh my bad, my own fault for not reading the whole thread lol. Could do it that way too, I imagine they just wanted to make things as simple as possible.

[scottish]

Possibly, but would be interesting for them to make it a public kinda thing, failing that they should at least do as you said at the end have every entry shown.

[Kyle]

yes make them public but dont allowe audience to have any actual sway

and keep entries off new posts

[Yupt]

This event is now active.

[scottish]

That's a great response.

[Yupt]

fanx.

[scottish]

Did you perhaps read any post in this thread

- - - Updated - - -

You need to make http://www.habboxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1634 viewable, otherwise it's just confusing as hell trying to navigate the section.

[Yupt]

I did indeed, and I understand your point however the competition will stay as it is. I have had little input into the making of this forum event because I have been far too busy at work, Sho and Drew have organised the entire thing and I agree with everything that they have chosen. Perhaps at the end we'll release a thread of our favourite entries for everyones amusement.

[Rachel]

So can we start and show our interest?

[scottish]

Yes, the forum is set up poorly as you can't navigate without getting the permission error, but if you follow link on the how to play you can.

[Kyle]

CAN I HAVE A WORD PLEASE

[scottish]

ok kyle, ALPHABET is your word

you can't use letters/words remember

[Kardan]

I think this is a good format, and I agree that it should probably be left to graphics staff to guess rather than the public as it would result in easier cheating.

It would be nice to see all the entries posted on the forum, but then I suppose other people can just help the graphics staff - so I think releasing them after the competition is done is a good idea :)

And nice to see graphics actually doing something publicly.

Yeah just down to the trust the staff have really, if they're trusting it's not issue but if trust issues you can't really allow public viewing.

[Yupt]

Don't quite know what you're saying about permission errors, everything seems fine to me, but considering I'm a moderator of that forum then that's no surprise. Is anyone else having issues?

Phil

[scottish]

We can't view http://www.habboxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1634

We don't have any Draw my Thing on the forum index

[Jurv]

you could just show the drawings once staff have had their guesses? and maybe announce if that person won any points

i like the idea though! i think it'll be pretty fun to do

[Drew]

Hey guys, sorry that the announcement wasn't made earlier in the Community Notice Board! But yes, I have been thinking of releasing drawings to the public for added entertainment value after they go through the "guessing stage". We'll try to make sure the same word doesn't get used in different tasks. Big thanks to Phil; for helping out with the forum!

[Kardan]

ok kyle, ALPHABET is your word

you can't use letters/words remember

Draw the greek alphabet I guess :P

[scottish]

That's it fixed now it shows.

[Phil]

Yeah should be fine now or completely broken.

[scottish]

Why isn't red a standard colour btw Yupt; @shonew/etfyournameis; Drew;

[Yupt]

red is a standard colour.


Every player starts with being allowed to use only blue, yellow and red in their drawings.

[scottish]

oh ffs Red; i hate you

i meant to say black but i was speaking to red at the time

[Kyle]

red on your mind dont let buttons know

are black/white allowed

[scottish]

no they're not currently, only the posted colours are (red, blue, yellow)

- - - Updated - - -

unless they're adopting HxHD's method of black not being a colour?

[Drew]

Just blue, yellow and red please! Just to make things harder ;)

[Kyle]

what about white backgrounds
or dithering white into current colours

[Cerys]

Ngl i'm expecting this to be a habbox April fools, it does sound like something staff would do - create a half decent event then throw it in the trash :3

Yeah is it allowed if you use different coloured backgrounds?

That would be fab, just have a thread that only the managers can post in and they can copy the image link into it once it's been guessed on

Nope, you post when you're ready. :)

[Cerinacy$]

I really like this idea! Looking forward to hopefully having a shot at it. :)

[scottish]

Rules have been updated to address questions that have been asked. We have also decided to remove the limit on the number of tasks every player gets throughout the event, which was 15 previously.
Drew; Yupt; Shonly;

Can you reconsider that, even it means upping it but having a limit on it

As that's essentially down to be more active = more chance of getting points = higher chance of winning

It just comes down to the battleships game as I'm sure Phil; remembers basically one team got an unfair advantage as they had more turns as they were posting more often so won which was unfair.

So yeah, can you enforce some kind of upper limit so it's not going to be unfair on the less active people who might even be the best drawers. I know I for one will be active (and an amazing drawer) but in reality my odds of winning are very low (almost none) but with this kind of rule I have a chance lol

It should be about best drawing/ability to guess the word that gets the points, not the people who are most active imho

[Cerys]

Another fault on the no limit thing is that they could rig it or whatever so their favourite person keeps getting new words really quickly so they get loads of points

Obviously habbox management would never do anything like that but yeah ;) add a limit

Oh, you're right :Cerys;

That's a bunch of crap then.

[Drew]

After discussing with Sho, we have decided to set the limit to 20. Your argument makes sense, and sorry that we did not think of it earlier! The initial limit of 15 words was put in place because Sho and I can't be online 24/7 to post new tasks, so we had it as about one task per day. Then we got carried away earlier when the event started cause the response has been unexpectedly great, and we ended up removing the limit LOL

Sorry about this again, I'll change the rules thread. Thanks for the input!

Can we have like a prize for the best drawing/funniest drawing and stuff like that too and let non graphics/comps staff people vote on who should win them ?? Obv staff would narrow the selection down first

rigging is possible in any event or competition, you just have to trust that those running the event are fair.

Best drawing

[scottish]

can you show us how its set out

like do you give them 10 letters and they have as long as they want to guess it or give up or what? (similar to draw something/my thing)?

I imagine you have a template for the people guessing so can you show us :p

[Mr-Trainor]

Wait should I be able to see all the threads in this forum: http://www.habboxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1636 (A).

[scottish]

No you should only be able to see your own.

Might be cause you're manager? ask another dept manager.

[Red]

When do we get our new words? is it still 1 per day

[scottish]

When they've guessed your last one I imagine?

You start thread saying interested > they give you word > you draw it > they post for staff to guess > staff guess or give up > they give you word #2 > you draw it > and so on

Is the process I'd imagine.

oh I thought it would be like at 12am or something.
waits patiently for my 2nd word

[scottish]

Nah I'm sure they have to guess last word then they'll tell you if they guessed/gave up rather than having like 3 words from the same person waiting to be guessed

What if 20 people get 20 words and they all get guessed correctly resulting in 20 points each?

Like normally a draw would be hard/rare but I think in this it seems like a very possible outcome, and more than just a draw with 2 people.

[Kyle]

phil has used same setup for this forum as support forum so that might be why there are permission issues

can somebody tell him how to make the threads appear on new posts when replied to

We just post the image, and they guess. No hints given.

The limit is 20 tasks now, so you might get more than 1 per day. Your drawing has been passed on to Competitions staff so I am not sure if guesses have been made.

Yes, tools can be used. People started using different sized brushes anyway, so we just removed that rule. And yes, I can do that :)

[The Don]

scottish; as I've said in spam countless times I didn't use any rectangle tools where the shapes are pre-made so I'm not quite sure why you insist on saying that, YouTube what the pen tool is.

[scottish]

and I've said multiple times we were told to use ONE BRUSH and nothing else, that means pen tool or any other form of automating the drawing (whether they're pre-defined shapes or not).

and as I've also said multiple times, the rule has been removed now.

I just want to say it's absolutely hilarious some of the images. And all the images I've guessed on fit the rules fine. I'm quite jealous I can't play. :( I'm quite surprised 'yoga' was a medium word though. What.

[scottish]

the hard word at the time of yoga was gollum lol

coulve just taken a selfie

the hard word at the time of yoga was gollum lol

What the hell was the hard word when you got takeaway as a medium? That's well hard as well.

[scottish]

First:
Easy - Computer
Medium - Bodyguard
Hard - Audience

Second:
Easy - Pregnant
Medium - Yoga
Hard - Gollum

Third:
Easy - Scissors
Medium - Takeaway
Hard - Trapeze


Trapeze is easy to draw but then it's if the staff would know what trapeze is and even more if they'd guess it, so i played it safe with takeaway

It's pretty subjective tbh :P

fab idea woo kudos to yall who thought of it

[Yupt]

we're changing the way we admin points so that it should be far easier for us three to sort out. cheers for bringing this to our attention! (can't help it that it's just so popular xoxoox)

All I can actually say at this moment is bare with us, we have (as of last count) 42 players playing at a very fast pace and 3 admins. We will fall into a good routine however it may take a day or so.

[-Nick]

Good luck getting them to translate it.

[Phil]

Don't worry Nick! They'll get it now that you've posted it in here! ;)

[scottish]

init, I used fake chinese letters for my 'takeaway' one so they could try and guess chinese lol

they're not even chinese though just look like it so gl translating

if that's aimed at me idk if anyone else used them

no what a stupid question

[-Nick]

Well my plain was for the guesses to see that post then symbols and arrows are allowed to yerr! just a little nudge to the guesses.

o/t thanks for the replies weather it is allowed

[Kardan]

Even if you used Chinese, how would the staff be able to translate it?

They open up google translator... How do they input the Chinese characters? The Chinese don't use an alphabet do they?

[scottish]

They'll use some sort of alphabet in symbols

[Inseriousity.]

its not like you have a time limit lol

[scottish]

it's not like they get any reward for guessing though, so they're not gonna go spend hours trying to find if it's a foreign letter lol

[Kardan]

To be fair, I want him to write it in Chinese just to see what he ends up with, I can barely draw straight lines, so good luck getting Chinese symbols to look accurate.

[scottish]

pro chinese.

[Sho]

Letters aren't allowed lol, doesn't matter the language. But yeah staff won't bother translating it so idk why you'd bother :P.

[scottish]

Your rules state symbols are allowed, the Chinese alphabet is symbols

So Chinese alphabet is fine :p

Used Google's translate app where you can draw the letters/symbols, and it gives the answer as 'odor' :P? So are you trying to say e5 smells :(?

Oh wow, didn't know there was an app where you could draw in symbols. That means it would be relatively easy to do it.

And yes, that's what I went for :P +rep :P

i think... well i do GCSE chinese... and i think your last symbol should actually be http://prntscr.com/36r98b :P

o/t i like how the competition is going so far!

Google gave me the symbol I drew, but honestly, I haven't got a clue. What does your symbol mean?

After drawing that second symbol about five times, Google did recognise it as what Kardan drew (see pic in my last post) :P. But it's definitely a fair amount of effort to go through if someone wanted to translate the symbols you put in your pic, not the mention that you'd be wasting time if they weren't real symbols :P.

[scottish]

Can you try translating the symbols in my picture Mr-Trainor; wonder if it makes anything

Yeah it wasn't too hard to draw those :P, but there's definitely some that wouldn't be so easy to replicate e.g. just came accross this http://www.chinese-tools.com/learn/characters/list.html

[Kardan]

I'm going to draw some fake Chinese symbols in my drawings now, hopefully it comes up with some good messages.

you do know theres a keyboard for apple devices where you draw it and it recognises it?

o/t- please can someone explain what happens if there is a draw?

Actually was able to get an almost identicle match for each of your 3 symbols in my second attempt at drawing them :P! Here's the result:

lol nice

well my word was takeaway so as amazing as my chinese was, not good enough to be translated into something meaningful :(

[Mr-Trainor]

Oo didn't know that :P - although if I just use the Google Translate app I can then translate it after the symbols are recognised :P. I wouldn't use it outside the app, and already have 3 keyboards (English UK, French, Emoji) :P.

sho and i have plenty more ideas to flesh out and try over the next year or so but we've both been overwhelmed by draw my thing's popularity so i imagine it will be something we'll discuss to re-do again next year.
