Everybody Draws...

I don't know where else to put this, it's a bug I want to tell Chris about, but the bug reports section is for EE, and as far as I know, there isn't a site for Everybody Draws.

Anyway, I made an account with my email that I use for everything, I played for a few days, and got up to level 12. First of all, when you get to a level, like... 8 or 13, it usually drops when you log out and back in, or close the tab and open a new ED tab. So if I had a level of 8 before, it would drop down to 6 or 7, which is really annoying since it takes a round to go up one or two levels, and however long a round is, is random, or I think it is.

Next, the rounds are very glitchy, sometimes the game just gets un-synched with the internet altogether, and everyone needs to close it and open a new tab, which usually means you lose a level. Sometimes the rounds last forever, literally(I think), wasting potentially hours of someone's time, who does not want to leave the game and lose all the time they invested in the round. Sometimes the game freezes, until someone new enters, when this happens, the chat bar at the bottom keeps getting erased every fraction of a second, influencing many people to start spamming, which usually continues on through the next few drawings, even more, if the game keeps freezing. The game freezing and infinite rounds always come together, from what I know.

There are a lot problems with the game, not really bugs, but problems. First, there is a big spamming problem, people just keep spamming, and it takes away a huge part of the game, the chat. You could use the chat to trick people, or to find out what others are saying. For example, if you know the word is noodles, you could trick others by moving them away from a food guessing category. People will look at the chat, and see that you're guessing names objects, such as maybe a pipe. This will draw them away from guessing foods, and will probably thing of things similar to a pipe, such as a faucet. This is even more so, when you say pipe, and then say the correct word, or when you misspell the wrong word, then get it right.

People also tend to troll... a lot. Some people pay no attention to the word they're supposed to draw, and draw something else, thinking that it will become the word? There are a lot of vulgar drawings, and words said in the draw area. Probably the largest problem, someone will come as a guest, do a false drawing, then leave and come back. Since the newest person to come gets to draw, they can start up a lock where all there will be is fake drawings, which is very frustrating when it happens 20 times in a row.
The worst bug is that the accounts stop working. I had made my first account: GKAbyss, my usual name on games, and I played with it for a few days. I reached the level of 12, which would probably be 15 or 17 if not for the bug where levels are deleted. After around the third or fourth day, my account stopped working altogether, I would get a blank screen like this:

You can still type in the little bar in the bottom, and press "GUESS," but you can't see anyone there, you aren't actually in the room or sending messages, and you never see anything but that when you log in. So I got a new account, with one of my alternate emails, hoping it wouldn't happen with that one, I've managed managed to get to level 10, but I'm worried that it'll happen again... plus I'd rather I just use the first account I had than this new one.
The rest I can deal with, but it really bugs me when a bug gets rid of all the effort I've put into a game.

Re: Everybody Draws...

Are you sure it a game by Chris? It probably is, but would just want to make sure it's really his game before telling him for fix bugs.

Anyway, here is a solution to your problems. Play the original game rather than this badly made rip-off.

Re: Everybody Draws...

I would rather play this game, because my friends are more likely to play it, and most of the people playing this game also play EE.

Re: Everybody Draws...

I decompiled it and checked how it worked. It is clearly that it's made by Chris. And I'll make the first bot.XD
