It gets junked up way too quickly. I liked the refrigerator magnet letter one better.

Too many people writing jesus or making swastikas. Fun idea though.

It's fun, but too many cooks spoil the broth.

The letters one is addictive. you can create unknown cabals that work towards a goal -- it's inevitable that another cabal will form to work against your goal.

The thread continues on the fridge 4, apparently.

HEH...we had to fight off a bunch of anarchists, but we spelled metafilter anyway.

Right now I'm running a betting pool based on how long it takes for the first penis to be drawn. The average time for one to be drawn is about 2-4 seconds, right now, and the spread is 1 second.

Nobody's leaving until I get to know who spelled `U SUX.' That was pretty rude. I'm hurt.

Now it looks like a Terry Winters painting....

The sketchpad one is sad cuz someone just blacks out the whole page pretty fast.

The letter one's fun. I was writing out 'my precious' as people stole my letters. I happen to be watching Twin Towers so it seemed appropriate.

Ok who spelled "Monkey" just underneath my "Metafilter" on the fridge magnet one!??

I really hate the party-poopers who pile all the letters in the corners.

This actually happened. Long live groupthink.

Aw crap. TWO Towers. I meant Two, not Twin. Bleargh.

I like it. Especially after everyone gets a few words in, then scribbles, and finally it's trying to turn the scribbling into a work of abstract art.

Needs a shorter interval, though.

PS: Quonsar can spell p.

Cooperation.

There was a split second when we had every single letter in the corner but I just couldn't capture it quick enough.

Where the hell are you guys getting the magnets? All I see is black line scribbles and swastikas.

It's another flash app on the same site. o2b linked it upthread. It's here.

I was the one leading the blackouts on pad 1. We got some pretty amazing abstract art in there.

check out isketch.net - it's has a sketchpad like this, but it's pictionary online, so you actually do stuff with it :)

Yes. After a long struggle, we managed to pull together long enough to pull off total border coverage. Which earned us much deserved congratulations.

i just had a 5 sentence conversation that went like this:
"Stop bush"
"stop bush doing what"
"Stop bush killing"
"Stop bush killing whom"
"People"
and then it disolved from there....

here's a scratchpad with no one drawing in it.
anyone want to draw pictures besides penises and schwastikas?
posted by TechnoLustLuddite at 9:29 PM on June 12, 2005

The site in the FPP link now has four pads, two of which allow drawing with color. Woot.
