Colour Train

1. The colors should always be visable! This is a huge part of the game! Copy and paste the HTML image code for your colour into the love note so all other contributors see it. Click here for instructions on how to continue a train you received. This page also contains instructions for where to get the HTML image code for colours.

2. When sending out the first colour, you'll probably want to include instructions. See: Instuctions Template.

3. It's probably a good idea to send the train to other people in the group since they've signed up to play. Since we're presently a small group, it may be a good idea to also send this to people who aren't members to get the word out about the game.

4. If you like, add the tag [Colour Train] to your final palette and add the palette to the group. To add your palette to the group, you must first join the group, edit your palette, and put a check mark next to the group name at the bottom.

5. I like how Faded Jeans listed the other contributors as inspiration for the final palette. It's up to you :)

6. A link back to the group in the palette description would be appreciated, but isn't necessary.

If you have suggestions, please feel free to post them here!

um... you should probably check to see if the person you sent it to is online at the time... because if not, they're obviously not going to reply... and when they log on, they're going to have a bunch of requests waiting for them like I just did.

i accidentally started a sort of chain train with lunalein. i really liked her palette "earthlings" and i made one called "martians" using her last colour as my first colour. she answered back with "venutians" using my last colour as her first. we've been going back and forth in this mode and we're up to jupiter at this point. each prior palette is listed in the inspiration column. check inside "jupiterians" to see.

you could do this with someone by choosing a limited theme, like we have with the planets, or it could go on and on and on, depending on how much you want to do.
:D

sorry. i think i'm one of the ones leaving you a request. oh, well. if you have lots of them it means there's lots of love out there for you. :)

Liz, that is such a neat idea (and cute) :) I bet a lot of people would like to do this.

Velveteen, I think that's a good suggestion. I personally don't mind receiving them when I'm offline, since I jump on and off frequently. Maybe if you get too many at once, respond to some and say, "Sorry, I've got too many right now. Please send this on to someone else"? I think people will understand, especially if they're also being flooded. As the group gets bigger, that should become less of a problem.

FYI, please feel free to move the colours around any way you like when you're making the final palette. You don't have to keep them in the same order. Make it pretty :)
