TTH Secret Santa (MS Paint Edition)

[Offshore Toon]

It's another Brilliant Thread Series© by Offy.

Christmas is nearly upon us, but unfortunately Wee Heed Spikey© is clinically fed up, so I've had to come up with another brilliant idea to keep him alive until Christmas.

Here's what happening: In Secret Santa style, those who sign up will have to draw, in MS Paint, how they believe their randomly assigned poster will be spending Christmas Day.

When the competition starts will depend on how many people sign up, as each day I will reveal a new drawing, but ideally I would like to finish on Christmas Eve. Once a post is up, you will have 24 hours to guess who the drawing depicts (1 point) and who drew it (3 points). Also, only those who sign up can take part. To bring a werewolf-like element to the game, posters can change their guesses right up until the deadline but all guesses must be public. All drawings must be handed in prior to the competition starting, which should give ten or so days from here to get the images created. If, in some unlikely event, way more people sign up than expected, we will start to double up on drawings closer to Christmas.

SIGN UP NOW!

[Baz]

Go on.

[randomlegend]

Yeah I'm in.

[7om]

Yeah go on.

[Offshore Toon]

Actually, for the finale, I may do a drawing of notable TTHers who didn't participate, where it would be one point per correct guess. That way it leaves winning opening right until the end.

[Lofty]

In.

[Jimmy Floyd]

[Offshore Toon]

That's a week worth of TTH MS Paint fun already. :drool:

Someone hit the Wullie alarm

[Spikey M]

Is there a way to sign up without having to take part in the drawing part? My laptop doesn't have a proper mouse, so any effort from me would be absolutely shite.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck it, I'll do it.

Buy a mouse or fuck off.

[niko_cee]

Mrs Mouse doesn't let him be around other mice.

[Shindig]

Nah, go all in on using the touchpad. Or keyboard controls. There's bound to be keyboard shortcuts.

[Baz]

The jaggedy rubbish one was drawn by Spikey M.

There isn't, I'm afraid, so I'll count you as in. You'll find a way. At work maybe?

[Offshore Toon]

That's 12 at the moment with plenty of big hitters yet to get involved. You don't want to miss this, boysies. Let's get 24 names for a full Christmas run up to cheer up Spikey.

[Lewis]

I'll play.

[Lewis]

The 'Secret Santa' at work - which I refuse to join - has been scandalised by the name randomiser website somebody found coming with a wishlist function, and people having the minerals to 'suggest' certain gifts up to the spending limit. What's the point of that?

[Offshore Toon]

Secret Santas are a waste of time as most people are lazy rats.

Anyway, keep signing up.

[Offshore Toon]

I see plenty of you online that haven't signed up yet. It won't be much effort and the longer we do it for, the longer our beloved TTH will be thriving. #SaveTheBoard

[Shindig]

Aye. You never know your colleagues well enough to do it right. Everyone gets socks and chocolates.

[Baz]

Tag some legends.

[igor_balis]

Reckon Russo will do it?

[Offshore Toon]

I'll give it til Sunday before tagging.

[thommo]

I'll give it a go, why not.

[Offshore Toon]

Why not indeed. Any others? #SaveTheBoard

I'm thinking we could do a new drawing every two days to spread it out a bit, or carry on as is, allowing weeks to perfect the entries for two weeks of unprecedented board banter. Thoughts?

[Lofty]

Are we still doing this?

[Offshore Toon]

Just the kick up the arse I needed! I'll get names drawn now and send out shortly.

[Offshore Toon]

Right, the names have been sent out and I hope you're all ecstatic with your picks. The list of contestants makes up thirteen. We have:

Baz
randomlegend
7om
Lofty
Jimmy Floyd
james
Spikey
Mahow
Ben
Shindig
Vercetti
Lewis
thommo

I'd quite like to wrap this up before Christmas, so can people get their entries in by Sunday evening. Get as creative as you possibly can and feel free to include as much TTH lore as possible. Bonus points to whoever can shoehorn in a Giggles that goes unnoticed.

[Giggles]

Obsessed :drool:

Did you mean this Sunday night? Because that isn't enough time.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh shit, I forgot about this.

[Ben]

I need some more time for my masterpiece. :eyemouth:

[Pepe]

Did you mean this Sunday night? Because that isn't enough time.

Going out with the LADS?

[Lewis]

Seething the house down doing DIY shit.

[Shindig]

Mine took mere minutes. That's the level of devotion I'm giving to this.

[Offshore Toon]

If it takes longer than five days to make it better be good.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Can I do mine tomorrow?

[Shindig]

The standard has been set. If you can't clear this low bar, I don't know what to tell you.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well I'm guessing Shindig drew it (3 points for me) and it's RL.

[Shindig]

See? Now everyone's a winner. It's the season.

Wrong foot.

[Shindig]

Like I said, a low bar.

[Baz]

Well if that’s not the worst one, this was a complete disaster.

[Spikey M]

Gentle reminder: I have no mouse. That bar is nowhere near low enough.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm also a spack who has zero artistic ability.

I struggle with stick figures and I've never drawn anything in Paint.

[Offshore Toon]

Apologies for the silence, but I've been ill and I've only received five entries back (including Shinners) so given how much of a monumental failure this has been, I reckon I'll just post in one go and we can make up the winner from there.

[Baz]

When?

[Ben]

I'll submit mine in the morning. It's on my laptop.

[Baz]

Go on then

[Giggles]

This went well.

[Dark Soldier]

Superb work all round lads.

[igor_balis]

Paging Russo

[Lewis]

I was given Mahow, and I planned to have him sat in his gamer chair listening to Christmas music that slowly turned into a song about his step-mum gloating. I wrote the song to fit Elton John's 'Step into Christmas', but I couldn't draw anything good enough to do it justice, so I BOTTLED out of it.

[Kikó]

Great thread. Archive please admin.

[randomlegend]

I've just not had the time. :baz:

Atleast drop the single.

[Baz]

Has Offshore Toon Mellin’d us over this? :stamford:

[Giggles]

Did anyone give him any money?

[Shindig]

Well, I guess I'm TTH's best MS Paint user of 2023.

[Ben]

Useless cunt.

This is mine then: https://ibb.co/FY8rfF7

Not any more.

I concede. :D

Are you okay there Baz?

[randomlegend]

That's pretty special :D

I actually have 2 black children though.

[Shindig]

:D Love that.

Here is mine:

I would like to remind everyone that I have zero artistic ability. I was also semi-proud of it at the time and now I realise how dogshit it is.

[Offshore Toon]

Proud to confirm the winner is Ben!
