Round 50: Snakes & ladders-Information!

[abyss_valkyrie]

WOW!You guys! We've reached round 50 of this community.

Thank you, all for keeping this community alive even when I haven't been able to be consistent. You are the best!

For this round, we are doing a special round that will run for 3 weeks. The deadline is 30th November, 2023.

We are basically going to be making icons using the themes from round 1 until now but with a twist.

Below, you will find the snakes & ladders board. You will also find a link to an online dice roller to play the game and get your prompts. Please read the instructions & check out the example under the cut.

If there are any questions, please ask in the comments and I will try to help out.

EDIT:PLEASE SAVE THE NEW GAME BOARD.
I also uploaded all the challenge information under another cut.





Instructions:

1) Use an online dice roller or an actual one to play the game like a normal game of snakes & ladders. Here is the dice roller I used. Move the required number of spaces as shown on your dice. If you reach a ladder, make an icon for that prompt and then climb up the ladder for your next stop (don't make an icon for this) & roll the dice. Move back down when you reach a snake.


2) Make an icon using the theme of the number you land on. All themes are listed with the board. I'm adding the links to each challenge info post under a separate cut below. You can also find the theme information for individual challenges here or by checking the !information tag.
Continue playing until you have a set of 5 icons. Once done, you can start a new round from where you last stopped. You can repeat until you have a maximum of 20 icons. If you reach the number 50, go back to 1 and start.


3) Numbers 19,23, 29,30, 43 & 50 allow you to choose any of the challenges or just make icons of your choice.


4) If you have already made an icon of one of the themes and the snake brings you down to that theme in the same round (round of 5 icons), you may skip it and roll the dice for the next prompt.



5)If you're not really happy with your dice rolls in one round, you can always just discard that and do another round. XD


6) Check out an example I've added below. You can save the gameboard in your system for later.



7) Make a new entry in the community & if you're making more than 5 icons, please put them under a cut.

Dice roll 1: à 2-yellow hair
Dice roll 2: à5-rings & circlesà
Move up the ladder to 26 for the next roll.
Dice roll 3: à31-vibrant+blocking
Dice roll 4: à 36-Favourite character
Dice roll 5: à 37-Cuteness overload

That’s set 1 done!

My prompts were: Yellow hair, rings & circles, vibrant+blocking, favourite character & cuteness overload. I can play another game starting from 1 to make another set.

Alright, everyone! Happy iconing. Hope you have fun with this.

I couldn't find some of the challenge information. The tags are missing or gone , looks like. For e.g , what is Gradience ( no. 4 ) ? Also , I couldn't find chain letter ( n0. 23 ) , so I've no idea what it means. :D

ETA : I went to livejournal , since some challenge threads have not been transferred . I understood gradience , but how to do Chain letter , because it'd take at least two icons to show the chain ?

A few questions:
- After completing one set, do you start from zero for the next set (i.e., each set begins with one of the first 6 themes), or continue from where you left off?
- Does the option to skip a repeated theme apply to just within a single set of 5, or all 20?

Heyyy!
You can start off where you last stopped and then if you reach 50, start the game again. I'll put that up in the instructions. Thanks for asking! :D
The option to skip applies when you're doing a set of 5, let's say, you've done prompt:8 and then you reach the snake in 27 in the same round, it brings you down to 8.So you can choose to skip that.
