The following interpretations have been given enough support to become TRUE.
Scene 1
It is the eve of the Festival of the Crescent Moon, and the womenfolk of
the isle are departing over the river to the Great Temple to celebrate
for a full moon before they return. Alas, the poor lovelorn harpist
watches the boat depart, full of longing, as it takes his heart with it.
So many feelings unspoken...
The man in the bottom right hand
corner of the image is terribly sad. He used to love music and is
watching the two harpists with jealousy as his own lute is discarded on
the floor just out of reach.

Round 1
This round is now over! Results have been added to the results thread.
Snapshot storytelling (SSS) is a story game about telling stories through pictures. We'll post images of cool and interesting scenes and interpret them to create a story. We'll ask each other questions about the story and answer them through play.
I've posted an image above which I want you to interpret as a scene in a story. I've asked a number of questions, but you mustn't answer them here - you can try to answer them in future posts.
My questions:
- Will he ever see them again?
- Who do they meet at the end of their journey?
- What are they secretly afraid of? Why?
You can make a comment here that starts "INTERPRET:" and say something that you think might be true (or you think would be cool if it were true) about the scene depicted. Other people can then +1 that comment to show they agree. After a while, interpretations that have got a lot of support will become true.
Every 24 hours I'll invite someone to post a new image and maybe ask some more questions (or do so myself), then the whole process starts again. Sometimes someone will use special effects to do unusual stuff with these images, but if they do they'll explain it on the spot.
Keep your interpretations short and simple, so people can choose which bits they want to support. Break down complex interpretations into smaller units. Make as many as you want (within reason!).
Because this game takes place close to the Gamechef submission deadline, I'll have to pause the game while judging takes place.
Once we've answered most of the questions the game can end, and it'll definitely end once we've answered them all.
