I am quite addicted to this. I haven't managed more than 1280, but I blame that on the quality of partners on the internet.
ETA: 1380 1440 1560 1660

Now you've got me playing, and yes - I agree some people who are playing are not good. One of them could only suggest "animal" when presented with a tortoise... (Not to mention the person who suggested "spider" for a scarab beetle...)

I just got 1660 with someone. We hit the same wavelength ("Yay hot girls!") and got a lot of nudes. If in doubt, playing "hot" and "sexy" tends to work.

My trouble is I haven't a clue who 90% of American celebrities are!

Clearly we need a special channel for seasoned articulate players, then scores would go way up.

According to the high scores table, some people actually manage ridiculously large scores, but I'm guessing they do that by enabling VoIP or similar so they can have real-time rapid conversation with each other, and agreeing to post bizarre and obscure tags for images, that probably actively damages Google's image-tagging abiliy. Boo.

How would that work? Is there some way to specify who you'll be partnered with?

Presumably if you're partnered with someone whose username isn't "guest" than contacting username@gmail.com via voip/IM is a fair bet.

I've never seen the partner's username until the end.

Damn you!

Fun. 1390 is my best effort so far, though I admit to not posting this until I had a score in excess of 1000.

My most useful skill so far has been the ability to identify American Footballers.

It might not be your partner's fault - I have really slow internet, and it's hard to find words for a picture you can't see...:(

[identity profile] claroscuro.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
damn you! 1080 so far...

[identity profile] dave holland (from livejournal.com) 2008-04-09 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
1130 after a few tries.

"Hot", "sexy", "(wo)man" are all safe guesses for some of the unsafe pictures that turn up. :-)

Does anybody know if there's a time component to the scores, i.e. do you score more for finding a matching word quicker?

Oh dear, that is quite addictive. I just managed 1540, but my next best was 1290.

What's with the people who pass everything?

Bah, play with a nickname set!

I had the same problem when I tried it.

I got someone who passed everything .. my guess is that they couldn't figure out the user interface. There are two main traps:

- it doesn't specify that it will keep you on the picture until you put in at least one term that matches with the other user, or the time runs out
- or that "pass" ends your run
- or that you can't enter all your keywords on one line (this one got me for the first few goes!)

Have they improved the login process? I tried this, ooh, a year a go maybe, and 3/4 of the time my partner was clearly a bot. (i.e. spouting a sequence of nonsense words like "meticulously" for every picture). I don't know what people thought they were achieving by doing that.

[identity profile] saraphale.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Ok, trying this out in work was a bad idea. The first picture I got was of a naked woman. The next picture was of someone that appeared to be having sex with a human-sized scorpion. I truly have learned something new today.

I had a few goes ... and would like to play with a 'safe' filter.

I do not want to think of negative words when presented with an image of a scantily clad woman in a provocative pose.

Also, I would like the Visually Disabled persons version, please, with nice big images.

Have told 'em so.

33. Arminas Sregon - guest 1930!

Arminas Sregon obviously also ept!

I'm not good on celebrities (model/actress) is a good guess, but again I had some partners who failed to get some obvious ones.

Worryingly at one point I mistyped tatoo and by the time I could correct my partner had done that too!
