    I can captain.

    Ill go with blue please.

    Typically each of our players sends us both a word each and we use that to generate the board.

    Oh cool, happy to generate another one that way

    I've edited the opening post with team colours and captains

    Grand we can get going when the lads check in and PM us their words.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,381 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    So would you just put both words in here, is that how the generation works?
    (I just stuck in my name as a try out, I think red looked much easier than blue :p)

    Yep thats how its done. We get the non-captains to pick the words so that we are never tempted to pick a board that suits us (not that its ever happened to my knowledge).

    It doesn’t matter though given the opposing captain is choosing the side.

    The pming words is really only if you know one side is home/away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,381 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Table attached, blue to play

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,381 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit
