    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.

    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

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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?
