Has it never occured to you that we may want our images indelibly burned onto your retinas
so that you may not be able to best our levels so easily?

It shouldn't take me more than 24 hours. Are we going to post what we thing first, than post pictues, than try and match them???

Can't wait for the rules.

Jen

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Wed Apr 21, 2004 4:23 pm

Hi Jen,

Yes, I think that's the best way to do it.

Each person can post a list of all the people involved, giving their
description, without being too long winded.

Then, once you have the pics sorted out and numbered, we can guess
who is whom.

If the person wants to comment on the description given, they can give points out of ten for accuracy.
Maybe a raspberry for being totally wrong!

I will put the rules in later on, just giving people a chance to come up with
any fresh ideas.

Speak to you later

Maureen.

WHERE'S MY DEPENDS!

I already used them all reading the Wonderland Boards! Was that an Old Bear I heard growling in the corner?

I see a brave and courtly gentleman coming in the door. Welcome Old Pete!

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Wed Apr 21, 2004 7:48 pm

Here are the rules folks:-

List the names from the date joined, e.g. Dianna. No.8

Davimad. No. 24. Ol'Gramma. No. 30. and so on.

Describe. Height, colouring, build and overall impression.

This could be, Tall, Dark hair, Slim and dresses casual.

Add whatever you think is appropriate for this person, please keep it brief and to the point.

Photographs must be genuine, no film stars etc.
They also must be fairly recent. (no teenage years!)

Keep it civil, no derogatory terms.

Only post on the people who have joined us.

The date for posting will be Saturday 24 April.

Each person will mark the description out of ten, zero merits a raspberry!

Don't tell anyone where they have been right or wrong.

Jen will send each of us a PM with instructions on sending photographs.
She will let us know when these are ready to be viewed.

Each picture will have a number, then you can match the number to the person.

I hope this is clear enough for all of you, let me know if I haven't explained it too well.

The final will be on Monday 3rd May. WHEN ALL WILL BE REVEALED!

There is still time for anyone wanting to join us.

Anything to add? Please feel free.

M.A.D.

Not to start an ethnic debate here, but when you say coloring, are you talking about skin color?

How can we phrase something like that without coming across as racist, or socially inept?

Rolling about the place here.

Janet, you're as daft as me.

I see your point Jersey, but I don't think we need to worry about that here in Wonderland. We have a really great group of folks who are only here for the fun.

Anyway, Stinky & Loof are Yellow and being a different colour from most doesn't seem to worry them. I say we all follow their example and leave the racism/colour worries for the sad politically correct nutters.

So, Bear, does this mean that if someone describes you as a tall, well-built, distinguished, older gentleman with yellow skin and hair, you won't be insulted???

Not at all, Jersey. In fact, you got me dead right.

I don't need to post a pic now.

Hey, where's Eeyore? No posts from her since Saturday!

Geez, got to get some batteries for the digital camera, and quick!

majic1 · Post by **majic1** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 4:23 am

Yes, eeyore - where IS she? And so far, only TWO guys??? What's up with that? Come on you guys!!!

BINA · Post by **BINA** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 6:43 am

Hi everyone!

Even though I'd really like to be a part of this "pic-thing"and have no second thoughts about posting my picture, I'm still not sure if I'm abel to upload it........

I checked my (broken!) digital camera, and there was no pictures of me, so I'm left with the scanner and all its buttons

I've also tried looking through my most reason foto-albums and since I'm the one taking all the pictures in this family.........

However there is ONE, I think I could use, but its 1 1/2 years old - would that be okay? I'm standing with some other people, so I guess they should be edited out? How do I do that?

And finally, I'm not sure I have the time to do all this by your deadline (I've never worked with the program that I need when I use the scanner - this could take some time.........)

I will try though - just thought I'd let you know, that if I do not particepate, it's not because I don't want to - I do think its a great idea

Bina.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 8:54 am

Jersey,

Of course I didn't mean SKIN COLOUR!

I meant HAIR COLOUR!

E.G Blonde, Brunette, Grey..... etc.

I have received a PM from one of our group, there has been a personal problem and they have to go away for a few days.

As we all stick by one another, I think it's only fair to delay this comp
for a week.

If everyone is in agreement, we will start next Saturday May 1.

Bina, a picture can be up to two years old, I think that's fair.

The photo you have will do just fine, once you have it saved as a jpg file,
it can be sent to Jen via email.

I'm sure if you need advice on this, Jen will keep you right.

Dianna,

Yes, only people that are willing to participate and go along with the rules.

After all, it wouldn't be fair to describe someone who doesn't want anything to do with this thread.

Welcome Old Pete, glad to have you on board.

Bear,

Are you joining us? If so, welcome aboard.
It's all in the name of FUN!

Cat,

We don't know much about you, would you post something in the Introductions about yourself.
At least it would give us a sporting chance! Cheers and welcome.

majic1,

Wasn't it about now that eeyore31, was going back to work?
I remember her talking about the tri- axle!

If you're there eeyore, give us a shout!

What about malcdelsol? I know you are on holiday Malc but, you still have access to a computer....... Join us please!

Any other takers?????????

Thanks all for the input.

M.A.D.

Whatever made you think I wouldn't be joining in here?

After all I am the founder, (although not a member), of the WWI.

I am also a 'Gaming Grannies Groupie'.

So, if I'm not up for a bit of fun, what do I do all this for?

I'll post a pic, no problems. Prepare to swoooooooooon ladies.

Sure glad the deadline has been extended! Wasn't sure I was going to have time to think on everyone's descriptions, have someone take a photo of me and then send it in.

About Eeyore, yeah, I remember she said she would be going back to work, but I thought she would check in with us daily anyway! Perhaps she has gone away on a (hopefully brief) vacation.
