Drawball
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Drawball.com, as the name implies, is a site where you draw freehand inside a giant ball. Even though it only consists of one ball, and thus balls don't touch, Drawball is still very gay.

[edit] /b/ finds drawball
At some point in the past, (citation needed) Anonymous found the drawball, and began to randomly vandalize crappy drawings of dogs and anime, until it was agreed upon that they would claim drawball as their own, by tagging it with a giant /b/. The combined efforts of Anonymous ensured the /b/, which started off very small, encompassed most of the drawball. Drawings of longcat and tacgnol were also added to the tops of the /b/ for graet justice.
[edit] The great /b/lackout
The Great /B/lackout occurred on the morning of March 23, 2007, in which tens of /b/tards raided Drawball in retaliation for destroying the large "/b/" drawn in the middle of the ball. Everything and anything that wasn't protected was drawn over with /b/lack ink from the center out. As with most sites /b/ sets its sights on, Drawball eventually collapsed under the heavy influx of traffic caused by angsty teens armed with mice.
At 2:06 PM EST, Drawball crashed due to AIDS and fail. After it was restarted ten minutes later, all /b/tards were granted 100% ink instead of the usual 15%, allowing much moar carnage to take place. Much lulz were had.
[edit] /b/lackout's demise.
Later that day, Drawball admins got wind of what was happening and reverted the 100% ink to 0% causing great sadness and bawwwing amongst the /b/rothers. The epic raid against drawball's faggotry that was scheduled to take place on March 26th was also completely overshadowed by Mootykin's return to /b/ and his revolutionary re/b/oot movement that followed. The great /b/lackout experiment was over. But small scale raids still take place to this day.
[edit] Boring factual information
Currently Drawball gives new users a 5% allotment of ink when they first start using Drawball. This number increases over time to at least 100%. The best way to get the most ink is to simply wait it out after you reach 0 and let it refill automatically. But if your bloodlust for vandalism must be quenched immediately, simply reset your modem to get a new IP address, and thus you will start with 5% ink again. This is achieved easier with DSL that is more likely to have dynamic IPs than cable interwebnet.
[edit] How to vandalize
Vandalizm is fucking impossible because about 90% of the ball is protected because it's GOOD ART... makes sense to let it sit there forever instead of doing the responsible thing and archiving it. this of course means that putting any new art on there at all is also impossible.
The only way to draw straight lines without having your ink disappear because of anti-bot measures is as such: Left click where you want your line to start, then right click to bring up the flash menu without letting go of your left click. Release the buttans, then move the mouse to where you want your line to end (the contextual menu should still be up) and left click. You will have a straight line between those 2 points, at the regular cost of ink. But remember, it's very easy repair straight line vandalism using the same technique, so curved random lines are better.
[edit] Case study
|

|
| We start with a nice picture of some ugly dog drawn by "Galoti". | Looks like some amateur vandals have scribbled over the drawing. | Here comes a pro! Not only has the dog been completely vandalized but Galoti has been told in no uncertain terms that him and his dog are not welcome. Now, FUCK OFF!! |
Here's what Galoti had to say on the matter at Drawballfans.com:
Despite his claim "You'll never find the new picture of her either", Galoti actually drew the new picture of the same fucking dog in the same fucking spot. How fucking stupid can you get?
"I was just getting her back to normal....wasted my limited ink again." - Galoti
A few days after the site admin tried removing the ink and banning the people (i.e. me) responsible. This exercise ended in complete failure, not only was he unable to remove all the scribbles but he accidentally banned Galoti also. Win win!!
[edit] Places to vandalize
For those without access to Drawballfans.com here are some places to kill right now. Just click the link and fucking KILL, KILL, KILL!!!:
| Name | Description | Link | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galoti's dog | This should be self-explanatory | [1] | FAIL - but Galoti does keep trying. Well of course, why would galoti draw, you can't!!!! |
| Black Ball Area | Lot's of balls for people to draw good art in. | [2] | FAILURE IN PROGRESS - Most of the artists have left, but there is some recovery with the balls themselfs. Remember nothing short of total failure is acceptable! |
| South Park characters | Six characters from South Park and the South Park sign. | [3] | FAILURE IN PROGRESS - This area is not maintained, so the vandalism builds up. |
| Speech bubble | Anime bitch saying "Soup is a cult." | [4] | OH EXPLOITABLE - Write in your own phrase.. |
| Box's | Bunch of blank box's | [5] | OH EXPLOITABLE - Draw shit in the box's! |
[edit] Project Chanology on Drawball
As of 02/22/08, the Moralfags from Enturbulation[6] began to spread their faggotry on Drawball, resulting in a war between them and BAWWWnonymous.
The war led to epic failure for Anonymous, which started to BAWWWW even more and became increasingly butthurt because they realized that they were unable to even doodle over a simple drawing, earning them the nickname INTERNET DOODLE MACHINE. After repeated failed attempts at spamming other chans with blackup requests, they realized that all they would get there was a ban. Further Bawwing ensued to many lulz from the Moralfags.
As 420chan continued to spam the official symbols of Anonymous (Swastikas and giant dongs), the Care Bears easily overwhelmed them with the power of love and free hugs, and thwarted their vandalism efforts. It is uncertain at this point whether the vandalism is only coming from 420chan, or from angry drawball artists as well, since XENU.NET takes up a huge chunk of the ball.
[edit] PROTIPS:
- Don't use the largest brush, fucktard. The ink used by each brush is NOT proportionate. The smallest brush will allow you to use ten times moar ink, albeit at ten times slower than the usual pace.
- Some drawings are protected, meaning that you cannot draw over them. Don't waste your ink on these.
- Tell everyone you can, preferably by linking them to this page.
- Authors of protected images receive infinite ink on their IP. They can ruin you. Be careful. GET A PROTECTED DRAWING AND SET UP PROXY PL0X!!!
- For best results, use Drawball Tools v3.0. (note that these do some weird shit like creating .exe files in your startup folder when run) This will allow you to draw better squares and circles that will be seen more then other circles when fully zoomed out. They may also instantly drop your ink to 0% due to anti-bot technology.
- There is a puzzle you must solve before drawing. If you can't solve it, you have what doctors call a severe case of epic fail and you should be put down like the rabid dog you are.
- Don't bother with the [H], VIP or the Drawballfans.com logo at the bottom and bottom of the center - the Japs have bots that will just keep fixing it. Save your ink for elsewhere.
- Don't drain your ink bellow 30%, the moar ink you have the faster it refills.
