It is hoped to complete both of these rounds by the end of next week (Friday 16th).

If players could begin to organise a suitable time for their fixtures that would be great.
Next update will have finalised rule structure.

Necro

1. Standard codenames rules for games which can be found here, with a couple of exceptions.

2. Designated captains for their games can set up a thread as normal, and the players on each team will PM their captains with two random words each in order to generate a fair board.

3. Any issue with a post on a game thread should be discussed between captains initially. If no resolution can be reached, an independent arbiter should be contacted - Ideally a player not involved in the game.

4. Absolutely no discussion between captain and team-mate on game thread once the game begins until its conclusion. I know it's difficult at times but as per the rules of the game, captains are allowed to clue a word, and use the usual phrases. Guessers can share their thoughts, but thanking of posts or responding to the guesser by the captain, or indeed the other team captain is expressly forbidden. Banter between guessers is completely permissible.

5. Decision of the organiser is final. If there is an issue, please contact me via PM and we can discuss it further but no arguing on the gamethread.


6. Fixtures: Where a team is classed as the 'Home' team (or team that is mentioned first), they will begin the game second with 8 clues. The 'Away' team (or team that is mentioned second in the fixture) will have 9 clues and also have the first guess. All teams will have a 'Home' and 'Away' fixture. Please note this for organising fixtures. Colours do not matter, merely the amount of clues a Home or Away Team has.

7. Scoring: 3 points is awarded to the team who clears the board of their words. A 1 point bonus will be awarded to a losing team should they have 2 clues or less remaining on the board. After further discussion, a team hitting the assassin word will lose the game but receive no further points deduction.

8. League Table: It is intended to update the league table after each round of fixtures. Depending on numbers and player availability, it is intended to run two league fixtures per week to be organised at times that suit the teams. The organiser will not involve himself in exact scheduling of matches, UNLESS a backlog of fixtures appears.

9. Following the conclusion of a league game, it is the responsibility of the winning captain to post the result, inclusive of scores in the appropriate thread.

10. Friendlies between teams are permitted, provided they do not impact on fixtures or create a backlog. The organiser will have no involvement in the organising or running of these friendlies.

11. Following the conclusion of the league phase, the TOP 4 teams will qualify for the league semi finals, which will be played on best of 3 basis for the semi final, and best of 5 basis for the final.

12. In the event of a number of teams being tied on the same amount of points, a series of one off playoffs will be used to determine the qualifiers for the semi-finals. Points difference will not be used to determine final positioning, as Necro is not a maths genius.

13. Questions on any rules or clarifications should be posted in the dedicated league thread, ie - here.

14. The organiser reserves the right to make alterations and additions to the league rules, should the matter arise.

Anytime during the week is fine. I'm probably going to hold off rounds 3 and 4 until after the WW game for availability of players but it's up to you folks

PJ I won't be around on Monday so can do the first game on Tuesday.

I can't commit to Tuesday just yet, me and osh are due to play you. Possibly will get on for an hour in the afternoon and then the evening.

Conor, Necro and Osh, you around Monday?

osh

I should be good Monday.

Kolido

Well no holiday here so Im around anytime. I suspect it will be Tues before our game starts.

conor222

Can I ask, I don't understand Rule 2, pm random words to generate board? Who pms the words to whom and how is it used to generate the board?

(Also, around during the week for fixtures but likely unavailable for most of Monday)

beakerjoe

Since im not around Monday would those involved in my first game be interested in kicking off today?

The two captains pick a word each and pm them to each other.

You combine the words (E.g. bath and soap) to form bathsoap, and use that to generate a board.

Kolido

I'm around Beaker, would need to clear it with the organiser also.

Necro

Fire ahead folks anyone that wants to get started.

Captains or players? Above it says players pick the word and pm to captains

Yeah ok i see why thats there.

If one captain PMs first, the other can pick a word to create a board that suits them (if any of us were of a mind, which of course we arent).

Guessers pick, send to their captains, captains send to each other.

Yeah don't think it'll be an issue anyway. It's played for fun.

Baggly

I agree, like if both captains are happy for one of them to generate a board, they should just generate it. I dont know if would be bothered searching for a 'good' board. I take whatever one i get.

It was, guessers send a word to both caps.
Caps Combine, away.home, that's the board and who is first and what color already sorted.
Both caps have board, and guessers don't know other guessers word. So can't find the board themselves.

It was thought up in order to remove possibility of generating preferable board due to the predefined first & second.
You just said that you don't know if you'd be bothered doing it, the method I came up with is simple, and means, even If you do decide to bother, you can't.

Kolido

Any games kicking off today?

Necro

I think, given the Bank Holiday we won't see too much activity here today. Might be best to hold off till tomorrow?

Baggly

Molly said she wasn't around until tonight, so that's fine for me too. I don't mind tomorrow either though.

sKeith

Do we need to wait for round 1 to complete before starting our round 2 game?

Necro

sKeith wrote: »

Nope, if the other team is available fire ahead

sKeith

Sweet

sKeith

Sweet.

Kolido

I'd assume both teams would have had to have completed their previous round game before moving forward though?

Necro

Nah the beauty of the league is that you can really play any of the fixtures tbh.

If Kolijoe wanna play Team RPG belt ahead just note the round, home or away and result.

My thoughts anyways...

Kolido

If it's just one game ahead then fine, but if a team ended up 3 or 4 games ahead and were raking up points, if could give them an advantage over the chasing pack mentally!

Fair point, I just don't wanna stop teams from playing a game if they're available and their opponents aren't. Suppose ye could just play a friendly??

Dont mind either way lad. Guess if i cap first we can get board and clues going and you will be ready to go for 6

Ah no wait, we're first to guess anyway but sure it'll give me loads of time to figure a clue out

I'm also here but dunno if conor is about this evening.

Kolido

Im around on and off but dont think Joe will be here until tomorrow.

Ara thats sound leave it till tomorrow so. Do ye set up the board? Do we send ye a word?

Either cpt can set up the board. The other cpt sends them a word. I will wait for Joe to check if he wants to cpt.

Baggly

Conor/Necro - which one of you is captain for your team? Ill set up a board and thread if you let me know! Oh pick a colour too!

Kolido

I can setup our game if Beaker and DW are about, please send me a word for the board. You okay to guess in the first game Beaker? I don't mind either way.
