I've played a few games with some random people.
The strangest one I've gotten to draw was カモネギを背負って来る . Something about a duck carrying onions. still not sure what it means

I actually do know this. Kamonegi is Farfeched in pokemon, and he is based on this saying. I can't think of an English saying that means the same thing, but it is basically saying that someone is gullable or easily fooled. Maybe 'lambs to the slaughter' is similar. Literally, a duck carrying onions, is already holding the trimmings.. hence an easy meal. JP taught me that I think, and also someone at the conversation group taught me a similar expression 'to be made a duck of', that might be related to this. That's basically when someone tricks you. ^^

So Demonhead: you asked about this. Does that mean you'd be interested in catching some of us in there? I'm willing. Although I should warn you I am terrible at drawing with a mouse. Honestly, the test isn't of your Japanese ability, but your clairvoyance when you play with me!
You don't have skype right? That may make things harder. Maybe we can converse in game, in the place where you're meant to be writing the answer? You see, when I played with Jade, I found being able to tell her what my drawing was supposed to look like was a great help. Also, sometimes I would know the word but write it wrong. Like that 夕立 example I mentioned. Jade drew a perfect illustration and I knew exactly what she meant, but unfortunately wrote ゆだち. Thanks to skype she was able to tell me verbally that I was close but typed it wrong. Without that I'd have got the message it was wrong and simply assumed the answer wasn't 夕立, too stupid to notice I just typed it wrong.
Basically what I'm saying is.. I'm hard work >.<

I'll play, what times are good?.
I had a short game with Jade a long time ago. Recently I've played with some randoms(not sure if they are all Japanese, but some of them draw terribly).
I have skype, but never use it. I might be willing to plug in my microphone late at night. But the little ingame chat window would be fine for me.

Actually yes! I am free all weekend for a change. That is, I'm off on Friday so won't be sleeping on Saturday.
The only thing is, JP and I really, really need to go food shopping. I was working all weekend and he just couldn't be bothered to go on his own ^^
Unless...
What if I came online like 10 am and we played until maybe 12 (uk time I mean). We'll have to check, but wouldn't that be something like 8pm-10pm for you Jade?
Demonhead: Would 10 am be possible for you too? If you'd rather not listen to our angelic voices, we could just see you in game. Jade might still be able to shout out pointers if she sees I've typed something wrong.
Apologies in advance for my drawing. I actually CAN draw, not well but recognisibly, just not with a mouse and no mousepad (I use an A5 pad of paper as a mouse pad).

Great! It should be a giggle!
Shall we use the room Jade has already set up?
Does anyone else want to join in? I think it should be a reasonable time for Anna too. Early evening?

Jembru If no one's in the room it disappears, so I haven't set up a room in any lobby lol It's about 9pm my time because of Daylight Savings, but I'll probably be able to make it. I'll just have to set a reminder on my phone or something, because a game I'm really looking forward to comes out on Friday too lol

Ah okay!
Well, it turns out that I may not make it after all. I got a message earlier from my dad, reminding me of plans I'd made while drunk (never make plans drunk). I can't be sure what's happening until I speak to JP.. and his phone is dead just now. I'll know for sure tomorrow night. It's not looking good though. I think my dad is taking us shopping at 10am and JP's friends are coming over earlier than usual. Clearly, I made the mistake of already telling everyone I'm free all weekend so, as ever, I'm not free anymore ... :s
Alcohol... Evil...

No, no... You and Demonhead should still play. If I think you're playing, it will encourage me to still log in if there is even a small amount of time.
If I miss it, maybe we could try playing things by ear. If I catch you and we start playing, we can leave a message here in case Demonhead sees it in time.

I don't mind if we do it another time. I'd have to set my phone to wake me, and I'd rather wake up without an alarm. So I will most likely be asleep.
I'm playing with some randoms at the moment if anyone wants to join.

Ah, okay!
If you had been going to play, I was going to try to pop in just for 10 minutes or so. My dad isn't picking us up until 10:30. But now you mention it, a lie in would be nice.
I have 2 full weeks off from Monday 27th (although I'm at work Sunday night so that day is a write-off really). I'll definitely manage to play at some point during those weeks. I was going to suggest trying for sunday, but I can't guarantee I'd make it, so it's not worth setting an alarm for. How are week days? I could maybe manage Tuesday morning.
If I were brave enough to go up against strangers, I'd try that too sometime D. I'm not though. I worry that I'll misread and draw the wrong thing, or I won't recognise the kanji at all. I know I could open windows and just quickly check what things mean, but I'm very slow at that kind of thing, so I'd be nervous of the clock ticking and not drawing anything for so long.. making it unfair to the other players. When I played with Jade, we were really lucky with the words that came up. I don't remember if there was anything we couldn't read. But I've watched hours of Akagame playing and know how way out there some of the vocab can be. Yet again, I'm defeated by my social awkwardness...
