silvergoose: Mar 18, 2006; IT IS SAID THE TEARS OF THE BWEENIX CAN HEAL ALL WOUNDS

I assume guesses are simply first come first serve, if a courier guesses before another courier, is the result: first courier's guess resolves, if it's correct, second courier's guess resolves?

I'll join in, this shouldn't be an insane commitment mehopes!

##MISSION ACCEPTED

Don't care about team. I've played several times in person, I'm happy being a spymaster if desired.

## MISSION ACCEPTED e: for next time I guess!

Team discussion might need to work out some kinks to find a system that works. I think maybe whoever first proposes a guess should be the one to pull the trigger on it and make the actual matching ## GUESS [WORD] post after any discussion is done on it. Otherwise no one knows who has 'right of way' on a guess under discussion, so to speak.

My question and the answer pretty much resolved this; anyone has the right to conclude discussion and guess. If two people do that at once, whoever guessed first happens, followed by the next if successful. I would say, if that would be the "final" guess maybe let the 2nd one confirm that they want that to be the +1 guess, otherwise it might be completely unintended.

Here's red team's first clue:

Pregnancy - 2

Remember to use hashes and bold! Also, don't say poo poo like that, it can provide information even if you don't know it. Just the clue and the number. ##backseatmodding

Never ever guess unless you got one wrong earlier. ##pass

No seriously only if you're like way behind and want to take a 1/10 chance to not lose or w/e.

I'm 100% okay deferring to you.

On this sort of decision, sure. Guess actual clues to your heart's content, I'm only as good at this game as I am in tune with the spymaster's deepest soul. :3:

Really though, this is one of the best games Vlaada's ever released, and I loving love his games to death. Like I think I would put Tash Kalar above it, and probably Through the Ages.

I'm a little late now, but in total agreement. Blindly guessing is a great way to hit the Assassin.

Agreed, though I would guess sun before seven just to be safe?

I'm actually slightly stronger on seven since seventh heaven is also a thing.

But I'm okay either way, I don't see much else that fits.

Thanks for running it, I loving love this game and we already preordered our copy (since the advance copy for vlaadacon was kinda co-owned by us organizers).

I'll pass on the next game, but will follow. Seriously best game of the year, I don't want any other fillers (except my wife just ordered red7).

Yeah I once again marvel at Vlaada's genius, this is the standout game of the year for me I think!

Do we need to apply again, or will you just choose from people who have joined? I know ExtrudeAlongCurve still very much wants to play.

You get one guess more than the number given, for catching up on earlier misses and for hail mary plays in the endgame.

This is exactly what would happen in real life if someone actually turned the damned timer once in a while.

Just to make sure people know, ExtrudeAlongCurve and I are spouses, but happily play board games against eachother all the time so there will be no worries about sharing information.
