This page is a real reference... however odd Why should it be deleted?
- The consensus on W:VFD was indeed to keep - the note stating it had been suggested for deletion has been removed from the article. IMSoP 23:46, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I suggest this page be retitled, or aliased, as "Telephone Pictionary".
My circle of Chicago-based comics nerd friends have been doing this for years without any actual name for the activity itself. The byproducts, however, we have simply called "corpses" (as in exquisite, of course).
I've never heard it as anything but "paper telephone". 69.180.13.107 02:25, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Teledraw
I've always heard of this game as entitled "teledraw". I recommend this is mentioned somewhere, as it is a lot more aesthetically pleasing than the current name, and teledraw might entice more people to play or try it out.
And I've always heard it called Telephone Pictionary - I was very surprised to get a redirect to the scatological Eat Poop You Cat. Since I already see a mention of Telephone Pictionary here... how valid would that be as a retitling? Is this a regional/institutional variation we could discuss on the page?

- While hardly great evidence, some Googling suggests that EPYC is more common with about 10,700 pages mentioning it versus Telephone Pictionary's 1,880 page mentions. In the absense of better evidence, I'm against changing it. As for discussing regional variations in name, that would be a great addition if any details were available. — Alan De Smet | Talk 01:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] thesentencegame is "original"
Hi Alan - I noticed that there is now a second link to an online version of the game, so I figured I'd make the distinction that thesentencegame.com is the original online version of the game. This is substantiated by the dates that each site went public. No big deal, but I was surprised that you decided to revert the change. I'd be happy to discuss it though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.169.166.235 (talk • contribs) 09:58, March 7, 2007. (The preceding was copied over from here)
- ([1] is reversion in question.) I reverted it because "original" and "huge" cannot be easily verified. It appears to predate EatPoopUCat, but there might be older sites we're unfamiliar with. And huge is a bit subjective. — Alan De Smet | Talk 05:58, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok, how about "over five thousand" instead of "huge"?
"Original", I think, is substantiated by a google search of "sentence game", "eat poop you cat", "teledraw" or any of the other variations on the name mentioned in this article. If another, older, site exists, it doesn't seem to be public. I appreciate the time you've put into this page, btw - very impressive.
