    Should request a subforum for this guys tbh. It's popular enough imo and stops clogging up main forum for WW signups.

    By the charter D&D etc should have their own too. Just saying..


    The charter is a lie.

    The charter tells us things but does not hold up on its promises.

    I wouldn't trust that charted very much at all.

    I did a quick tot up of how the games have gone. You can see it here.

    This is just for a bit of fun and for me to track how im doing game by game (ok ok i went a bit crazy with the data entry), so if anyone wants themselves removed, ill of course do that.

    So far, leading the 'World Championship of the World (TM)' is Sk on 53 points!

    Taking part without winning = 1 point
    Taking part and winning as a guesser = 2 points
    Taking part and winning as captain = 3 points.

    If you remove your participation bonus,
    Then Osh and Partyjungle are in the lead.

    The equivalent to whispering between teammates playing the live game.

    I've never played the live game, so I don't know the answer but would have thought it wouldn't be done, but would be very interested in others views.

    The pm thing never occured to me. Doubt anyone does it tbh. Seems like too much effort to me. I dont really see why it wouldnt be allowed though.

    In real life you would have sotto voce conferring between team mates, where the other team might hear you but you'd definitely try to ensure they didn't. PM just removes any possibility of overhearing.

    Like any Codenames rules quandry, your best bet is to have the 2 acting captains agree in advance whether conferring is allowed or not. If they're happy everyone's happy.

    I was throwing an idea around about having some additional games with set teams, within a tournament structure, here on boards, in addition to the current games we have.

    It would be standard double elimination tournament structure (so each team would get at least 2 shots to progress), based on 8 teams (we can increase or decrease this as needed), based on 2 people per team (1 cap, 1 guesser).

    The structure and an idea of how it would work is below. I guess we make the teams on a first come first serve basis, like we currently do.

    So what do ye think? If you are interested, maybe thank this post and ill setup a separate thread if we get enough players.

    Can I suggest that if we are doing this can we have a proper schedule? Like Game 4 will be played at 4pm on Tuesday the 27th? I can make myself free then.

    Thinking about that, there is no need to hold the games in each phase one after the other. Like in the above chart, games 1 to 4 can be played in any order and any (reasonable) speed, and this can be sorted between the players in each game.

    Its only after a team moves forward to the next round that we would need to set 'play your game by X date' dates.

    make a signup sheet, i'll sign up, but think you should rand the teams instead of 1st come 1st serve basis.

    If somebody has never captained , say so on signup (we asterix them), and we make a pool of those, and rand pair them off with captains in the draw first, before randing everybody else, so no team has two not captains.

    Also fine by me as long as everyone is willing to accept the teams i generate (which will be randomly with seeding for players who havent captained).

    When the teams are assigned, does the cpt have to be cpt throughout the tournament or can they switch as they like for each game?

    Great idea btw Pter
