    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

    I dont see why switching wouldnt be allowed.

    maybe leave it a few more days, there's a few more that might sign up like partyjungle, quickbeam etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Yeah grand. We can probably leave it until after the WW game and i can grab some people who will be looking for a distraction when WW isnt an option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,184 ✭✭✭kitten_k


    If it is after WW then you can put me down.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Ok ill do the world cup draw later today. We can schedule the first round of games for this week. The players in each game can arrange them for any time and date that suits them. So we could be up and running in the morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Ok we have 6 teams, so ill do the draw now.

    Just so you know, this is actually done, and there is a method for doing in the rules.

    assasin = orange

    words

    red green yellow blue orange

    clue: fruit 0
    guesses are unlimited, just like unlimited, but 0 signifies that you are clueing the assassin.

    The strategic thing to bear in mind is that the other team will also then have this information.
    Theres more you can go for strategy wise but cant be giving away all the secrets! :P

    If anyone was having trouble finding the codenames sub forum on responsive or app, that issue should now be resolved.

    Any codenames players interested in a meet up on 24th March?

    Codenames League starting shortly:

    League of Legends


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,177 ✭✭✭Guffy


    Are the 9 and 8 word teams going to be assigned if its play once?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Planned format is for each team to play each other twice so both teams will have both. Captains do NOT have to alternate that's at team member discretion


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Ok, I've had a question on the deduction of a point for a team hitting the assassin rule.

    Are people in favour or against it? I can remove it if people think it's too punitive.

    Should be eviler. like -4 points or -6 points


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,634 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    As someone who hit the assassin in their game, I would suggest that you feel stupid enough without adding insult to injury.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    To clarify question sKeith in sign up thread,

    Yes 2 or less words remaining = 1 bonus point. Will edit OP to reflect. Thanks.

    Will wait on a couple more to weigh in on assassin but I don't mind removing it fwiw.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,421 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Never a big fan of point deduction but it could be interesting in this tournament. So if I hit the assassin with 2 words remaining, I get 0 points?
