Baggly

I think its clear our team name is bag of skunk.

y0ssar1an22

right, time to read an old game thread so i know whats what!

sKeith

Who plays who when?

y0ssar1an22

just a few initial questions:

is there an upper limit to the clues you give, for example computer 5 or computer 7

if you get your clues correct, you play or pass. if you play, you remain in charge of the board and give another clue. if pass, control goes back to the other team?

correct.
but. you can only guess up to a maxumum of clues+1, so 6 or 8 guesses for your two examples above.

No, but the number corresponds to the amount of words related to Computer,

You can also give Computer Unlimited (where they have unlimited guesses) and Computer 0 (where you want to steer them away from computer, and they also have unlimited guesses)

Only one clue is given per turn. You can't get multiple consecutive goes with different clues given.

With Computer 5, your team can continue guessing (up to 6 times) until they get a word wrong, or they pass. Then it's the other teams go.

Just for clarity on what ye play for this one - if I give

3: Simpsons

and teammate guesses Homer, Stewie.

and my next clue is

3: Rocks
teammate is allowed to guess Igneous, Sedimentary, Marge, Lisa, yes? There don't have to be 3 rock-related clues on the board, right?


I guess the effect is similar to the unlimited rule (which we don't play IRL), but not identical..

osh

I mean I’d just play that if you clue rocks 3, it’s for three rock clues.

But don’t think it matters much ultimately. As you say the result is fairly similar to the unlimited clue.

y0ssar1an22

i'm available to play whenever, so decon & special K's whenever it suits you guys

Clarabel

Kol.
Can you explain the home away thing pls.
Are we away with bag of skunk?

Yes, the team first in the fixture is home. They will create the board, the guesser from your team should pm their captain a random word.
The home team will also clue first.

This is just my way of keeping things consistant, if anyone has any tweaks or additions, let us know please.

Green&Red

We are going to call ourselves “ The raging cyclepaths”

I’m ready to play today if anyone is up for a game?

We use a website to create boards, where you can input a word to create a new board. If each guesser gives a word, with the home teams word being used first, we can be consistent with creating boards.

If this is overkill, we can just play the way we normally do and take the random generated word that pops up on the website.

right, i'll be a guesser 1st and will PM you a word. decon can be spymaster (if that's the correct term), for the 1st game.

Ficheall

So.. is every team playing today, or are we doing them one after the other? I'm happy to be Codemaster or Guesser, GnR - your shout.

Clarabel

Er if they know the word can they not check the board?

No each guesser will only know their word, the person making the board will use two words - one from each guesser

I would say play whenever both teams are free, skip a match day if you need but I'd suggest not going too far ahead. As we will have a lot of games. Play multiple games simultaneously if you want.
