okay why did this game give pplains the wrong letters for "diamond"?

thuggish ruggish Brahms (DJP), Monday, 19 March 2012 20:19 (thirteen years ago)

oh lol I guess it didn't, it just showed me the wrong letters for his guess

thuggish ruggish Brahms (DJP), Monday, 19 March 2012 20:20 (thirteen years ago)

That one was weird? I got hung up on putting "ring" in there somehow, gave up for the night and went to sleep.

When I woke up this morning, it was all "time for you to draw a picture for dexness!" even though I never gave up on the ring thing.

pplains, Monday, 19 March 2012 20:22 (thirteen years ago)

I mean, here we are now on turn 10. If I had surrendered, wouldn't our streak have to start over?

Draw Something, I have so many questions.

pplains, Monday, 19 March 2012 20:24 (thirteen years ago)

The wrong letters thing happened to me once too.

polyphonic, Monday, 19 March 2012 20:28 (thirteen years ago)

i like this game but it often doesn't refresh when i reopen the app, so i have to wait for it to time out or something so that it will check back in and see the new turns. pretty annoying.

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 19 March 2012 20:30 (thirteen years ago)

same here. trying to open up more than four other apps and see if that pushes it out of the way.

pplains, Monday, 19 March 2012 20:32 (thirteen years ago)

really want them to fix the badge bug

Nhex, Monday, 19 March 2012 20:34 (thirteen years ago)

Feeling overwhelmed by this, I've got you lot, guys at work, friends, extended family, ex-colleagues, EVERYONE playing it. About 25 games in the go, not enough hours in the day to keep up with them all (am Jimdoo btw, heh).

JimD, Monday, 19 March 2012 20:39 (thirteen years ago)

my user name is naamme if you want to play me

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 19 March 2012 20:46 (thirteen years ago)

the lack of a chat feature is frustrating

pplains, Monday, 19 March 2012 20:56 (thirteen years ago)

in other words, i thought I was doing "musicbox" at first, djp

pplains, Monday, 19 March 2012 20:59 (thirteen years ago)

haha

thuggish ruggish Brahms (DJP), Monday, 19 March 2012 21:00 (thirteen years ago)

If you're an iOS ~power user~ you can kill the app and restart it. Double-press the home button; tap & hold the DrawSthg icon; when it wiggles, touch the red minus thing in its corner (NOT the X – if you see an X in the corner you are doing it wrong). Then press the home button and open it normally.

pplains, Monday, 19 March 2012 21:37 (thirteen years ago)

huh thanks. what does that do exactly?

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 19 March 2012 21:50 (thirteen years ago)

nevermind, i see. feel dumb for not knowing about that.

…for iOS

nhex-ane (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 19 March 2012 21:53 (thirteen years ago)

omg the first game i played my opponent, whom i did not know but the avatar pic was of a small kid, looked really like they were drawing a pair of balls and a big penis. It ended up being a dogs bone.

Summer Slam! (Ste), Monday, 19 March 2012 22:09 (thirteen years ago)

i do that all the time for this ish

A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 19 March 2012 22:24 (thirteen years ago)

One of my opponents (who is not crude) drew a gun by starting with the barrel (with a knob on the end for some reason) and the trigger loop, and it looked EXACTLY like a cnb until she drew the handle

nhex-ane (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 19 March 2012 22:45 (thirteen years ago)

Xxxp On the site I read about that iOS 'kill' thing the consensus was that it just removed the app from yr 'recently used' list, it didn't kill the task at all...

ledge, Monday, 19 March 2012 23:00 (thirteen years ago)

... but trying it now I think they were totally wrong.

ledge, Monday, 19 March 2012 23:06 (thirteen years ago)

yeah, it totally task kills

.. i am so sorry for killing a streak by missing VOICE, major shame

Nhex, Monday, 19 March 2012 23:25 (thirteen years ago)

I liked my drawing but it wasn't easy, for sure.

polyphonic, Monday, 19 March 2012 23:29 (thirteen years ago)

I keep on guessing the word, then thinking the right letters aren't there so it must be something else.

ledge, Monday, 19 March 2012 23:51 (thirteen years ago)

App updated for iOS inc. crash fixes, performance improvements and hipsterpad retina

nhex-ane (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 00:02 (thirteen years ago)

iPad = unfair advantage imo. Refuse to play with those savages.

JimD, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 00:06 (thirteen years ago)

okay trying this for the first time
who am i inviting?

Wesley Crusher: Teenage F#ck Machine (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 00:06 (thirteen years ago)

It's an advantage for everyone since it is a collaborative game.

Ugh good for the devs, inevitably bad for the game not having Zynga cross-promo everywhere.

Nicholas Pokémon (silby), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 00:37 (thirteen years ago)

if anyone wants ot play with me i for some reason made my username "Princefielder"

Alderaan Duran (Will M.), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 01:34 (thirteen years ago)

Between getting the same twelve words all the time and way too many random opponents who just write the word they're supposed to draw, I lost my interest really quickly.

Soggy Cheeseburgers (Deric W. Haircare), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 02:34 (thirteen years ago)

forks <-> nhex
this game is starting to get kinda exhausting though, i'm gonna admit. i want more more more but now that i have over 10 games on tap (almost all from this board, you guys rule!) it's getting tougher to carve out some time, since each word/set of turns takes a couple of minutes

still, i am a savage AND DEMAND MORE WORDS

Nhex, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 03:02 (thirteen years ago)

oh god pleasant, you'a'killing me!!! (for your own mercy, just skip my frantic shuffling attempt to figure out that word, i didn't get it)

Nhex, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 03:17 (thirteen years ago)

There was just an update with more words

Jeff, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 03:19 (thirteen years ago)

It's okay, nhex. I don't think you ever had a chance.

Nhex, Friday, 6 April 2012 15:15 (thirteen years ago)

i just managed to finally afford extra colours, so rekindled interest a little bit but definitely waning now. I'm just seeing either the same words over and over again, or ones which I have no desire to try and draw because they are mundane celebrities or I don't know what they mean.

It would be nice to have this on a pc, bigger screen and i could use my drawing tablet. one of my friends is a cheating ipad owner, so jealous watching her draw really quickly.

PSOD (Ste), Friday, 6 April 2012 20:50 (thirteen years ago)

284 messages tricked me into buying this crap. not sure i can ever trust ilg again.

sonderangerbot, Thursday, 12 April 2012 12:21 (thirteen years ago)

oh god i never bought it. just played the free version.

PSOD (Ste), Thursday, 12 April 2012 12:42 (thirteen years ago)

yeah, why would you buy it before trying the free version?

Nhex, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:00 (thirteen years ago)

didn't you read the end of the thread where everyone got sick of this??

iatee, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:01 (thirteen years ago)

i never read the end of threads. tbh i didn't see there was a free version until now so the joke's on me i guess.

sonderangerbot, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:29 (thirteen years ago)

It's only a dollar, guys.

It seems pretty obvious to me whether you'd like it or not. It's pictionary on the phone.

polyphonic, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:34 (thirteen years ago)

It's only a dollar, guys.

I paid for my copy for this reason.

I dunno I think this is still pretty fun, though I've gotten kinda bad about getting around to my turns, if I'm playing with anyone here all apologies

Euler, Thursday, 12 April 2012 19:36 (thirteen years ago)

it's ok, even i've largely burnt out. i'll play every couple days now if that

Nhex, Thursday, 12 April 2012 20:00 (thirteen years ago)

I play it on my ipad and sometimes I forget to check it, but I still kinda enjoy it

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 12 April 2012 20:06 (thirteen years ago)

I am down to two regular games, and I just check it before I go to sleep.

Regarding original post - why are people drawing the plant when you can draw a cat and point to it's tail :D Lamprey gets a lamp + a sun ray with an arrow point to the ray. I'm super terrible drawing and do use some words like for Crystal I drew a stick figure with straight black hair and blue eyes, drew her mouth open, some music notes and wrote "don't turn my brown eyes blue" you know.. Crystal Gayle :P

if you want to exchange terrible drawings I'm jijifer.

This game originated on OMGPop.com , which was bought by Zynga and put in iphone form. drawings are equally shitty via mouse, regardless.

iphone came first, then zynga acquisition, but yes
