I'm sure at least some of you have heard of this game. It has very simple rules but tends to be very, very awesome.
Anyway, all you do is edit the image below and post it, then another person does the same to your edited image, and so on. You don't even have to use Photoshop (I use GIMP), although MS Paint is not recommended.
But wait, there are a few rules.
1. Retain at least 75% of the last image every time you make an edit. Otherwise it moves along too quickly.
2. You can post to "claim" your turn so that nobody else steals it, but if you don't post an image within two hours after you do so, that claim becomes null and valid; somebody else can then edit the image/claim their turn without fear of retribution. DO NOT DO THIS:
I claim this turn.
I claim the turn after Joe.
That's right, one claim at a time. This is to make it easier for everyone to get a chance at participating.
3. When you add/edit something, restrict yourself to adding photographic content, effect brushes, and filters (and those last two should be used with caution). DO NOT DRAW PIXELART DUCKS ON TOP OF PEOPLE'S HEADS, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT FIT.
4. This is Blitwise. Keep it family-friendly!
5. Save your image as a PNG. The filesize is larger than JPEG, but it'll prevent artifacts. If you save it as a GIF, rabid squirrels will steal your car and set fire to your house. Make sure you upload it to a file host that retains the format! Photobucket is infamous for turning everything into a JPEG, so don't use it.
The ideal host is still VuloMedia (http://www.vulomedia.com).
If you're confused about the rules, just wait for some people who do understand them (people who've played before) to edit the image and you'll learn pretty fast.
