Over the next N days, you receive a deck of Dixitlike cards. A Mystical Dreamer deck consists of 25 images saved in an album on imgur. Try to make 25 cards of your own and send them to me in a zip file. These will be shuffled with the cards provided by other players, uploaded to the web, and sent to you as an album. If you don't reach 25, the remaining cards will be provided for you. If you haven't played actual Dixit, the cards are surreal dreamlike images. A good image is open to multiple interpretations. Use images you find on Reddit or from your camera or screenshots. Spoiler: Examples from Dixit (click to show/hide) However, my Mystical Dreamer deck might look more like this: Spoiler: Made up examples (click to show/hide) When the collection period is over, we play Dixit! 1. Someone decides to be the Dreamer. The Dreamer can be anyone who hasn't been the Dreamer yet this cycle, just the first person to claim the role. 2. The Dreamer selects a card and uploads it to but doesn't show us. They announce a hint for the card; the hint can be anything at all. They submit the URL to the DreamBot 3. Everyone else also selects a card which fits the hint and submits the URL to the DreamBot. They make a post saying they submitted. Your "hand" is your entire deck, but you cannot reuse cards. 4. The Dreamer Bot randomizes the order of the URLs it receives, adds BBCode markup, and sends the results to the GM, who posts it. 5. Everyone tries to guess which image is the one submitted by the Dreamer. They do this by submitting their guess to the GM, who doesn't read the guesses. 6. If the Dreamer's card was picked by SOME players but not ALL players, the Dreamer and all the correct guessers score three (3) points. If ZERO or ALL players pick the Dreamer's card, the Dreamer gets zero (O) points and everyone else gets two (2). Also, each nondreamer player gets a (1) point for everyone who guessed their card was the Dreamer's card. (you can't guess your own card). So you get points for guessing the correct card, for having a card that fools others, and for being the Dreamer and getting a nonzero, non100% amount of players to choose your card. Rules for cards: Use Irfanview or something to keep filesizes low if necessary Cards cannot have any text, including signs and stuff Must be a static image Nothing that could uniquely identify you as the owner No duplicates or near duplicates in your submitted deck Images should be safe for work Rules for speed: If the eligible new Dreamers don't start a round within a reasonable period of time, 1/43

2 everyone becomes eligible again. If you don't submit a card within a reasonable period of time, you're just out for that round. You don't count as a player at all. Will it work? What needs fixed? Are you interested in playing? Start building a deck!

Post by: Dr. Agon on August 31, 2015, 10:09:11 PM my suggestion and I think you hinted at this, was that we have some sort of control set of cards. I don't want people to just go and basically invent cards as they go for a certain clue. I want it to be limited to what they already had. I guess what I am saying is that we make the "cards" and then have something randomly distribute who gets what "card" without other players knowing. 3/43

I guess what I am saying is that we make the "cards" and then have something randomly distribute who gets what "card" without other players knowing. What I imagined is that your deck/hand of 50 is set for the whole game and cannot be changed. Are you proposing that you might have some of my cards and vice versa? A draft could be fun but then people would have seen some of the cards. I'm sure it would be possible to automate the task. Post by: Dr. Agon on August 31, 2015, 10:32:21 PM What I don't want and I'm sure will end up happening in your set of rules is that someone will, instead of making 50 or so, just make up a card on the fly in response to a clue by the dreamer. on one hand, this sounds like an okay thing, but on the other, it gives an unfair advantage entirely to those that are better at making cards. Its also important to note that some players/people are going to have a distinct type of card that they will make and it would be nice to not be able to use meta to determine who submitted a card. So more or less, I'd like for there to be a definite pre determined amount of cards and that people are making cards for others and not themselves. does that make sense? edit: what we could do is something like, everyone makes or something and posts the URL to the imgur to the bot and the bot then gives every player the same amount of URLs from the huge list of everyone's cards.

I mean that would obviously be cheating. I'll look into the technology side of distributing cards out. I think it may be more in the spirit of Dixit that way.

5 Rad. In. Post by: Iron on September 03, 2015, 08:42:06 PM I'm working on the technologies for this game. For Greg's idea, it's probably easiest just to have people send me their albums as a zip or as an imgur album which I can download. I'll randomize them on my own machine and upload them into albums for each player. Imgur has an API but it's not worth the effort. For the DreamerBot, I am learning SQL anyway. Post by: Iron on September 05, 2015, 01:38:05 AM I have created all the tools we need for this game. We can start as soon as everyone is ready. For deck building, I think we should try Greg's idea. Everyone will send their files to me as a zip or as a link to an imgur album or i can accept dropbox and google drive. Whatever. I'll get all your images on my computer, use a tool that appends a random number to every filename in a folder, divide them up evenly, upload each deck to imgur as an album, and send you a link to an album (which I won't look at). Sounds complicated but it only takes about 30 seconds. 50 might be too large of a deck. Let's try 25 instead. I've been adding to mine since I had this idea and I only just now hit 25. I think we can remove the rule of images being 600x600. Just make sure they're a reasonable filesize. For played cards, I have an online page that accepts username (just in case) and imgur urls as inputs, adds them to a database, and i can pull them into a randomized order complete with BBCode markup. No need for me to see the username. Anyway, start adding to your collections in earnest. Let me know when you're done. Post by: Dr. Agon on September 05, 2015, 05:17:45 AM is there even enough interest in this? I think it sounds fun and simple, so everyone SHOULD/COULD be interested. come on mysticbros and mystichoes. (sorry) Post by: Iron on September 05, 2015, 11:07:47 AM Modi told me in a chat he would play. So we have me, Dragon, Modi, Narwhal. That's enough to work mechanically. Real Dixit works best with six players, it seems to me. Post by: guy on September 07, 2015, 04:26:55 AM would it be that hard/that much work for someone to make a twgbot like thing that randomizes and posts the assortment of cards each round so we don't need a GM? 5/43

7 amazing to me. because it was very often hilarious and also difficult to pick one or very easy for people to fool others into picking theirs] or if some are and some are more normal pictures of everyday life things Post by: Iron on September 07, 2015, 11:08:58 AM I already made a myxit bot, as I explained earlier. There is no need for a GM. Each round, you submit the imgur url of your card to the bot, which delivers it anonymously to me. All I have to do is paste it here. Yeah if somebody doesn't have 25 cards that is fine. It will get evened out in the end. Also, I have almost 50 cards now (some deserve to be discarded though), so if someone wants to join in a later round, they can mix their deck with my spares or something. Post by: Iron on September 07, 2015, 06:04:11 PM There are different versions of Dixit, but here's a set you can look at: quest?size=original Post by: Dr. Agon on September 07, 2015, 09:49:52 PM I agree that a suggested minimum is great because some people (like joey said he did already) can go over it and allow others who don't want to put as much "work" in can still play. Post by: Iron on September 09, 2015, 10:25:03 PM How's everyone's decks coming along? Post by: Dr. Agon on September 10, 2015, 07:48:54 AM I'm not very far yet. sorry. Post by: Moði Thorson on September 10, 2015, 08:24:25 AM I've got 25. Post by: AngryNarwhal on September 10, 2015, 12:21:18 PM got somewhere around /43

8 Post by: Iron on September 10, 2015, 08:08:23 PM I'm finding a surprising number of decent cards in friends' FB pictures, like actual photographs. I must have weird friends. Post by: Iron on October 08, 2015, 02:28:23 PM Ok we're starting this game November 1. Try to make a deck by then. If you don't reach 25, that's ok, you can use some of my cards. If you want to change whether you are on the interested list, let us know by then. Post by: AngryNarwhal on October 09, 2015, 11:43:18 AM I literally just logged on to say aaaaaaaay wassup wit dis? Post by: Iron on October 09, 2015, 01:00:43 PM Wassup is mostly that people need to build decks. Everything else has been ready to go for a month. Post by: AngryNarwhal on October 10, 2015, 08:06:33 PM I have a deck. Post by: Iron on October 10, 2015, 10:58:53 PM +1 Post by: Dr. Agon on October 15, 2015, 03:52:35 AM I am well on the way of making my deck Post by: Iron on October 26, 2015, 10:53:24 PM Don't forget about this. I added a few things to the bot, including form validation. You can try to break it if you promise to tell me how you broke it. Players: 8/43

9 Iron Dr. Agon AngryNarwhal Modi Narwhal Guy Xazarus Submit your deck to me when you are done. Reminder!!!!!: If you don't make a deck, you can still play!!!!!!! Post by: Iron on October 26, 2015, 10:56:13 PM I should say, submit your deck to me either as a.zip file of reasonable size or a link to a download. Post by: xazarus on October 26, 2015, 11:26:01 PM I'll play. I doubt I'll get by the 1st, but I'll throw together what I can. Post by: Iron on October 30, 2015, 08:58:03 PM me your things Post by: Iron on November 01, 2015, 12:59:38 AM PMs have been sent. Let me know if something is wrong but remember I haven't seen your stuffs. I'll be the first Dreamer! The Round 1 dream is "Fallen leaves." Submit an image from the album in your PM to Whoever submits first, let me know if it looks right. It should confirm your URL but not display any existing urls. and it definitely should not say "table deleted successfully." Post by: xazarus on November 01, 2015, 01:11:55 PM Looks right. Quote v47 Connected successfully xazarusnew record created successfully, including your url: [redacted] Post by: AngryNarwhal on November 02, 2015, 01:43:36 PM How do we know when I've won? 9/43

10 Post by: Iron on November 02, 2015, 02:35:51 PM We're missing one more, I think it's Dr. Agon. Then everyone will PM me with their guess as to which is the real one. Post by: Dr. Agon on November 02, 2015, 09:42:31 PM sorry guys, I was away for the weekend. I have made my submission for the category "fallen leaves" as of this post Post by: Iron on November 02, 2015, 09:49:38 PM Quote from: Dr. Agon on November 02, 2015, 09:42:31 PM sorry guys, I was away for the weekend. I have made my submission for the category "fallen leaves" as of this post you were only a few hours later than anyone else. processing, PROCESSING Post by: Iron on November 02, 2015, 09:50:02 PM Round 1: "fallen leaves" PM me with the number you think is real. You cannot vote for your own image. 1 ( 2 ( 3 ( 4 ( 5 ( Post by: Iron on November 03, 2015, 08:14:46 PM Voting, round 1! Dr. Agon votes 5 Modi votes 2 Xazarus votes 2 Angry Narwhal votes 3 Image 2 is elected president, narrowly defeating Donald Trump. The correct answer is 2. Iron, Modi, and Xazarus get 3 points for guessing it. 10/43

11 Whoever put up #5 and #3 each get 1 point claim it! usp=sharing Whoever first submits a new image and says a theme is the new dreamer. Don't reuse cards. Post by: Moði Thorson on November 03, 2015, 08:21:50 PM The clue is "trapped" Post by: Iron on November 03, 2015, 08:31:34 PM I broke it (dropped a semicolon) so if you submitted between 8:15 and 8:31, you need to do it again. Post by: xazarus on November 03, 2015, 10:29:15 PM I did #3. And it says "Currently in Round 2 waiting for a Dreamer to submit an image link and post a theme.", so I guess I'm going to wait on Modi to resubmit. Post by: Iron on November 03, 2015, 10:40:29 PM Sorry forgot to update that. you can submit. Post by: Dr. Agon on November 03, 2015, 11:09:01 PM so you submit off the same link as before? it still says we are in round 1 so I'm just making sure. Post by: Iron on November 03, 2015, 11:25:30 PM Well it says Round 2 for me make sure you refresh. Post by: Iron on November 03, 2015, 11:58:55 PM Quote from: bob ross, game dev If a script that was fine before now stops working, that's just it's way of letting you know it misses you and wants to hang out again 11/43

Post by: Iron on November 04, 2015, 07:13:06 AM 3 is an amazing match Post by: Iron on November 04, 2015, 05:28:25 PM Round 2: Which of these is the real "Trapped"? PM your guesses to Modi! 1 ( 2 ( 3 ( 4 ( 5 ( Post by: Iron on November 04, 2015, 05:28:57 PM hahahahahha Post by: guy on November 06, 2015, 02:07:08 AM wow these are good Post by: Moði Thorson on November 06, 2015, 08:51:10 AM Still waiting on a response from Narwhal. Post by: AngryNarwhal on November 06, 2015, 01:58:01 PM Just sent it in. 12/43

13 Post by: Moði Thorson on November 06, 2015, 02:42:00 PM Voting, Round 2! AngryNarwhal votes 5 Dr. Agon votes 4 Xazarus votes 4 Iron votes 3 The correct answer is 3. Iron gets 3 points for guessing it. I also get 3 points because between 1% and 99% of people picked it. Whoever put up 4 gets 2 points. Whoever put up 5 gets 1 point. Iron: correct me if that's wrong. Somebody gets to claim next Dreamer. Post by: Iron on November 06, 2015, 02:51:28 PM I was the egg, #4. So I get 2 more points. Next round, should I have the bot announce who submitted each card? The next Dreamer should be Xaz or Narwhal or Dr. Agon. However, my web host seems to have reverted all my files to how they were a week ago???????? so bear with me a bit while I yell at them >: [ Post by: AngryNarwhal on November 06, 2015, 04:05:41 PM No points for me Post by: Iron on November 06, 2015, 04:05:50 PM Changed a few things with the bot. It now detects blanks and duplicates so if there's a problem early in the round and you aren't sure your thing went through, you can go again with no repercussions. Ready to receive submissions.

14 "Free" Post by: Iron on November 06, 2015, 04:37:01 PM Last round was really fantastic. I laughed so hard at all the cats. And the sheep who did that one? I think Greg submitted #1 and I almost voted for it. But I thought a cat "trapped" in a box it could easily get out of, deserved my vote even if it wasn't the real one. Post by: xazarus on November 06, 2015, 07:49:49 PM I did 1, actually. I thought that was a pretty solid one, just abstract enough that it could be right.

In the desert, they will just wander around I think the current theory is that seismic activity is the cause. My justification for using it was similar, I think, to Modi's caribou picture an entity literally in search for a Dreamer. Since rocks can't move or like have souls, I imagined it wanting a dreamer to make it more interesting or something. That elephant who was going to go around the world in 80 days is making us all overestimate the ability to interpret traveler's motives. The Dreamerbot is all set up for a new Dreamer. Post by: xazarus on December 06, 2015, 12:34:05 AM This is almost the dumbest thing possible, but I misread the thread and thought the theme was actually "Welcome to Mordor". So that may explain my image choice a little haha. Post by: Iron on December 06, 2015, 12:35:37 AM hahahhaa I sent this to Jacob: ( Post by: Dr. Agon on December 06, 2015, 04:49:56 AM 24/43

25 sorry about that haha. that is a really good mordor picture though Xaz. and Iron I suppose. Post by: Dr. Agon on December 06, 2015, 04:53:43 AM I'll take the next one. the theme is "welcome to mordor" actually its not, I don't have a good one for that. the real theme is "Gotye, that fucking singer dude." Post by: xazarus on December 06, 2015, 10:21:12 AM I don't think you submitted yet. Post by: Dr. Agon on December 06, 2015, 10:48:10 AM no haven't.

Post by: Iron on December 06, 2015, 12:22:27 PM Does it say Round 9? "looking for dreamer" is the status, not the clue. anyway, just submit and it will work. The code that decides what round it is, is independent of the static HTML page. Also try ctrl f5, which is supposed to be a firmer refresh. 25/43

26 Post by: Dr. Agon on December 06, 2015, 12:31:05 PM yeah, thats what confused me. I also didn't bother checking what round we were actually in yet.

In the desert, they will just wander around I think the current theory is that seismic activity is the cause. I thiink I saw a paper within the past year suggesting that they might actually slide on thin layers of water/ice in the winter the cracks on the ground suggest recent ish moisture; a permanent desert would have gone to sand. In any case, yeah, they're called sailing rocks and they're cool and I like them. Post by: guy on December 07, 2015, 12:59:12 AM yeah i didn't know about those that's fuckin cool 26/43

If you don't submit a card within a reasonable period of time, you're just out for that round. You don't count as a player at all. Should there be speed rules for voting as well? That seems to me like where we're actually getting hung up. Waiting on Narwhal /43

Post by: xazarus on December 17, 2015, 11:31:54 PM I think this might be the most divided one yet. Iron and guy voted #1, Narwhal voted #2, Dr. Agon voted #5, and Modi voted #6. #5 was right.

34 my sister expressed interest. i think we should get more people to play. also in the future probably resize all images to some standard Post by: Iron on January 08, 2016, 11:14:18 AM Quote from: guy on January 08, 2016, 05:03:30 AM so how long is this going on for i'm started to have trouble remembering which cards i've used i really really like this game though my sister expressed interest. i think we should get more people to play. also in the future probably resize all images to some standard We're gonna go until we have 5? cards left (post disagreement if you like). I think that's 7 more rounds maybe we do 6 more rounds so everyone gets one more turn as Dreamer? I agree about standardizing images and in fact I thought I had done that but I did it wrong. Post by: AngryNarwhal on January 08, 2016, 08:15:55 PM Yeah I'd like to play with a deck of my own building (I had to re install windows right before we started and didn't have that backed up) I don't know how many cards I have left but a bunch of them are lame :P Also now we have better ideas of what sort of images are good/funny.

It's a little bit if a hassle that I then have to go online and find the url, but it works pretty well to keep track of which ones I've used. Post by: Iron on January 08, 2016, 09:09:59 PM It's also possible to look in the second post, where I've hyperlinked every card reveal. Also a hassle though. Post by: Dr. Agon on January 09, 2016, 07:40:29 AM I'm doing nothing special, but I'm not having problems remembering which I have used. I say we just let everyone have one more go at being the dreamer, give it a week and start a new one? 34/43
