That's kind of what I was going for Chris to say instead of what he did...
And I don't think you got the point I was trying to send across, which is that being a shiatty artist works in DS...because your guesser has all of that information sitting right in front of them to work from. DS is as much of a game of anagrams as it is of communication.
So to say "well, guess what I drew", without giving me all of the information I would have in front of me in a real game situation? I'm simply not gonna bother guessing.
I thought if I draw a half-assed octagon and wrote "STOP" in the middle, the person would get it.
Honestly I'm not sure why you didn't just draw an (full-assed; c'mon, it's a basic geometric shape, and you do have an eraser) octagon.
(If you really want to make it clear, you draw a triangle, then a red X next to it. Then a square, same thing. Then you draw the octagon and stick a green check-mark next to it. But, really, with the letters there? Draw an octagon, black pencil line, ship it. (Plus it avoids the weenie clue with the writing in the sign.) If your partner can't get that, find a smarter partner.)
