Distortion
Approved by Zak/Aipom of Doom

Abstract: Guess the contents of a blurred, unfocused, warped or otherwise distorted image - Guess the contents of even harder distortions to score even more points

Outline

The thread starter posts an image that he/she (or someone unrelated to the game) has affected in some way - Photoshopped, blurred, warped, or any combination of filters. The starter also has to attach a score value to the image - the number of points a player will score if he/she guesses what the image contains:

5 - Very difficult
4 - Difficult
3 - Standard
2 - Fairly easy
1 - Very easy

Players are allowed to guess three times per distortion (to involve as many people as possible per round).

If a player guesses the contents of an image correctly, the starter must post the original, undistorted image. The winner of the round then becomes the starter for the next round, and must post a distorted image. The game repeats in this way.

Guidelines

  • Start a new thread every 15 pages to cut down on excessive bandwidth usage. This game is going to be pretty bandwidth-heavy.
  • At the start of a new thread, make an appropriate comment in the thread title recommending 56K (dialup) users not to view the thread, since it will most likely contain many images that will kill their connections.
  • Ensure that this is the first post made in each Distortion thread, so new players can grasp the concept of the game and get playing as quickly as possible.
  • The thread starter is responsible for keeping the scoreboard (in the first post of each thread) up-to-date.
  • Don't distort images that are going to be excessively hard to guess, like landscapes. It spoils the game. Try to stick to common, everyday items that people will stand a chance of guessing.
  • You may only guess a maximum of three times per round. Failure to observe this rule may result in your being unable to play in future.
