Week 72 Game

[writinggame]

Choices board and prompts by lilian_cho. Picture square prompts are from Billy Collins' poems again.
This board is inspired by amidakuji. It has three new features: Mashup, Remix and Doors challenge. If people don't like the Doors challenge we can play a Doors-less version next time around

Just to make sure...

Yellow stars = Picture Prompt

Half the letters are on two paths, for example D is both on the green and blue, J is on the red and green, R is on the orange and red... right?

The sequence between D and H goes 'D - Mashup - H', each counting for a square. The same goes for 'K - star - O', 'N - star - Y' or 'R - remix - W'?

The board is so pretty, I can't wait to play! *writes down prompts to take them away on her week-end*

(And I like the Doors challenge.)

[lilian_cho]

Yes, yes and yes =)

I suppose I could've drawn the paths under the letters, but that means drawing the paths first and photoshopping the letters second...which, in retrospect, was probably easier and faster than how I did things. Blah. I spent hours and hours reducing by 10 pixels increment, rotating the lines by degrees...yeah.

(Glad you think it's pretty. And yay, doors challenge! =D)

The board also looks great on my new G2 <3

P.S. Also went through the trouble of making sure the door pictures actually link to the challenges. That one was actually pretty straightforward. Go, old school HTML!

This is a bit embrassing to ask but I was somebody could do me a favor ..... I preplan my route/moves, this time to the 40th point but I'm not sure if I followed the board correctly. So I was hoping somebody would mind looking over it and letting me know if it it is correct or if there are errors where they are? I'll private message it whomever sometime after 7pm on the 9th. BTW Thanks in advance!

Wowza. Industrious writer is industrious.

Sure, PM me and I'll look it over for you =)
I'm online intermittently on Saturday, JSYK that there'll be a few hours delay.

Quick question about how we progress on this board -- do we move the number value of the prompt's points, as usual, or just move forward one? I assume the first, but since the paths are so short I'm not entirely sure.

To clarify: if someone started at 'T', and did the 'Tradition' prompt (2 points), would they move to the next space ('S') or would they move two places forward to the Player's Choice Square?

[lilian_cho]

The value of prompt points as usual (The Chess board is our only exception so far) =)

T +2 --> PC, yep.

Thank you so much!
