Green&Red

I've sent Osh the board. Red or Blue?

osh

Can a guesser pick side? Seen as I have the board already

Baggly

We will be blue Osh

osh

Ok blue starts.

Baggly

Can ye post the front of the board

Kolido

No google?

Green&Red

Eh red starts Osh, made a small mistake with the board!

osh

No google would be my choice

Agreed

Clarabel

Can I check rules?

Bags can you change the title to beginner game so someone looking might find me asking questions they don't want to. For I have no dumb shame.


So..
I can't talk about the game to any of the other players right?

Clarabel

So if reds starting? I assume because blue picked colours. I prefer a better reason like we're the most glamorous team, obviously.


However....what do I do now?

You can talk to your teammate (skeith). You just cant really chat with your captain (GNR).

Its kinda random who starts. Sometimes its red, sometimes blue. Thats why Osh asked me to pick. I picked a colour without knowing if it meant we were 1st or 2nd.

Right now you wait for your captain to give you a clue.

osh

As a guesser you can talk away, and its encouraged. You have to work with your fellow guesser

Just captains cant say anything

GNR is your captain so he'll post a clue, just wait for that

Kolido

Reds start as thats the way the board generated. We can show you how to generate a board later.

Anything regarding the rule, you can ask here. Discussing you're answer, you can talk to sK. But best to keep all communications on this thread.

Also feel free to trash talk to sow doubt in their team

Just to add to this, you cant give direct instructions to GNR (like if this word is right, do this etc) but you can let him know what your thoughts are and stuff, he just cant reply

Green&Red

SHARAPOVA 3

osh

Also when you guess put it in capitals to show its a guess

Baggly

So Clara, you could say to skeith which words on the table relate to that clue GNR gave, and between you decide what to guess. As Osh said, just put the guess in caps, so that we can all tell what is you discussing the words, and what is a guess.

Electric Nitwit

GnR told me to report for duty here

If Ted turns up we'll join in too please, I'll stay quiet until then though

Baggly

It's OK to play with odd numbers. Fire ahead if you want. You would be on Gnrs team

Cool - you'll regret that when we smash you out of the park!

Hi sK and Clara, let's rock this

Sharapova is Russian, so I think Moscow
I think she's a model too

Then I start to struggle. Maybe club as in tennis club...?

Baggly

If the other arent around, id say you would be safe to make a guess.

Sure, I'll go...
MOSCOW

If that's correct then...
MODEL

If that's correct then I'm hoping either sKeith or Clara will be back...

osh

both correct, play or pass

EN/Clara/Ted

In any round you have up to N+1 guesses where N is the number after the clue

So in this round N=3 (SHARAPOVA 3) so you have 4 guesses. You would never take 4 guesses in the first round as you don't have enough info to guess more than 3. Likewise if Osh gives his first clue as "CLUE 2" then the blue team will only guess 2 as they'd be shooting in the dark otherwise.

But if they decide that they are only sure of 1 answer they can guess that and then pass. But later in the game OSH gives another clue as "TIP 1" they could give the answer for that clue and then have one more opportunity to go back to any previous clue.

Hope that makes sense

sKeith

We try club?

Kolido

Cook, nurse, scale? Baggly?

Baggly

Cook, scale and mexico jump out immediately....

Baggly

Nurse is better than mexico.

Baggly

Lets see what Ted thinks.

Ted_YNWA

Would go with Kol

Nurse, scale & cook,

Electric Nitwit

Maria Sharapova used to be a nurse and a cook

Baggly

COOK

If that's right

NURSE

If that's right

SCALE

If that's right then pass.

osh

Cook is neutral, play passes

We've no need to stoop to their level. We're just the best team, so there's that.

Baggly

What happens when you get words wrong? So the n+ guess is wrong?

Baggly

Play passes to the other team.

When you're wrong play passes to the other team

And we gave them one of their answers. The only one they have

Lol we have Osh & Kolido on our team though.

We have you where we want you.

Electric Nitwit

And Clara, we still have one SHARAPOVA answer to get, we can add that this time if we want

The only thing I can think of is London, as that's where Wimbledon is, but that's very tenuous
