Astral Rejection, yes but i like watching people draw (and guess). if you key the answer right away, you’ll have only about a second to see the final picture. ---

If this game has taught me anything, it’s that drawing hands is VERY difficult, and that everyone knows Darth Vader, no matter how crappily he’s drawn. ---

A bit disappointed that the counter stops at 99 games…would it kill them to add another digit to the freaking program code ??? ---

i think i’ve found a bug. there is something wrong with my game with **whoaitsabrett**. it keeps asking me to draw again and again and i don’t see his drawings. ---

I’m getting the same thing on my end. I thought my drawings were so poor, you just kept passing. 😃 ---

there’s a joke in here about rejected drawings and the astral plane… ---

**Fisha** , if you see this in time, I made a smartass comment about your bicycle and clicked Done instead of the trash can. :smack: The word’s VOMIT if you want, or you can punish me by Passing, although I realize that effectively punishes you too. ---

I’m playing Drain Bead, too. I can’t draw, but I like to think my pictures have a certain pathetic charm. ---

Got it. It’s hard to keep track wh en the names are different. One thing I do, is if I can’t figure it out right away, I exit and come back later instead of just passing. Thanks to everyone who tries and tries and tries with me. ---

sorry **Libby**! i don’t know if it was a glitch or me being scatterbrain. i guess i could have decided on ‘axe’ and clicked ‘pants’ instead. i sent you a message in-game, but i wonder what happens if you do that and the other party hasn’t upgraded yet. ---

> [@Astral\_Rejection](#): > > No worries! I drew the worst train in the history of trains for Meeplet. Anything you draw is an improvement. Haha! Hey, I figured it out. I’m getting pretty good at interpretation! So far my best was when a non-Doper friend drew me five dice, all showing the same number up, and I had to interpret “WEAVE” because he accidentally fat-fingered that on his phone instead of “YAHTZEE” and didn’t realize it. 🙂 BTW, tip, which might kind of be cheating but I’ve used it a couple of times: If you use one of the online Scrabble word finder programs it sometimes helps if you don’t want to pass. So far I’ve only done it twice (once for WEAVE, but I got RAILROAD all on my own! 🙂 ) ---

BTW, does anybody else think there are far too many Hunger Games references in this game? So far I’ve gotten as choices: Katniss, Haymitch, Gale, and Effie. Are 13-year-old girls making up the word choices? ---

Definitely agreed. My drawing skills aren’t up to portraying any of them, so it’s wasted on me! ---

The words are definitely repetitive. Maybe this upgrade has more words in the dictionary. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anybody-playing-draw-something/616612.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anybody-playing-draw-something/616612.md?page=8)
