CODENAMES. Vlaada Chvatil, not content with rebuilding Pictionary, turns his madness to Taboo. Of course it turned out loving brilliant, and now all the boardgoons wish they had friends to play it with. They don't, so I'm making a thread. MISSION BRIEFING TEAM BLUE , the time has come. Your sleeper agents are in position, awaiting your orders. Your couriers must find and activate all of your agents before the commie bastards in TEAM RED can activate their agents. You will know your agents by their Codenames. Of course, we cannot transmit these classified codenames to all agents, for fear of interception by the enemy. Spymasters, you must guide your couriers to the correct agents through encrypted communications. Be careful not to mislead your agents into giving sensitive documents to ignorant bystanders--or worse, enemy agents. And we have word that a mysterious and deadly extremist lies in wait, ready to slaughter the agents of either side. We know this man only as THE ASSASSIN. TEAM BLUE , deploy to the field. AMERICA is counting on you. FREEDOM is counting on you. (TEAM RED, copy, paste, find-replace with THE MOTHERLAND and THE PROLETARIAT.) RULES OF ENGAGEMENT The full rules are here, but in brief:
CRYPTOGRAPHER'S GUIDELINES Spymasters must not violate any of the following rules.
If there is a dispute, I will ask the spymaster to explain their logic to me via PM. If I'm not satisfied by the explanation, I'll declare the clue INVALID. If a Spymaster gives an INVALID clue, that team's turn immediately ends, and the enemy Spymaster may reveal one of their agents on the board for free. I reserve the right to be as lenient or draconian as I drat well please. Spymasters have a few special clues they can give. FEATHER: 0 is a valid clue, meaning "none of our words relate to feathers." Alternately, FEATHERS: UNLIMITED is also a valid clue. In either case, the team may guess as many words as they wish, until they guess a wrong word or pass the turn. Also, for this thread, I'm engaging an optional rule: Rhyming clues are completely allowed. KNIGHT is a valid clue for FIGHT. Of course, Spymasters can't tell their Couriers that they're using a rhyming clue, however. Have fun with that. SPECIAL THREAD RULES In order to keep the thread moving, I'm implementing a time limit. A team has 24 hours from the timestamp of the spymaster's clue to make official guesses. After the 24 hour mark, you can keep guessing...but the enemy Spymaster may end your turn immediately by posting their own clue. Likewise, Spymasters have exactly 48 hours after the enemy turn has ended (from a pass or a bad guess) to issue a clue. If they don't make the deadline, I will treat it as an invalid clue. (If a Spymaster has an extenuating circumstance, they can PM me.) All game communication must be in the thread itself. Until game end, Spymasters may say nothing to their Couriers except clues. Couriers can say whatever the hell they want, but must do so in full view of the enemy team. The peanut gallery can cheer/mock as they like, but can't help either team. Official clues and guesses should use this format: ## BODYPILLOW: 4 or ## GUESS ANIME. Bold, allcaps, with # signs. This makes it much easier for me to find when scanning pages of thread chatter. SIGNUPS I need eight players for the initial game. Signup by posting ## MISSION ACCEPTED below. Please specify which team you want (red/blue/don't care) to be on and what role you want (spymaster/courier/don't care). ADDENDUM: Please also specify whether or not you have PMs. You must have PMs enabled to be a Spymaster. I intend to run multiple games so long as interest holds, so if you miss your chance, you'll be added to the queue for future games and/or substitutes as necessary. This OP will self-destruct in 30 minutes. gutterdaughter fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Sep 24, 2015 |

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.

Yep. Seems the only sane way to do it, given the format. I'm actually hoping the time pressure will give the teams a bit of an itchy trigger finger, so we're not sitting around while the Couriers discuss themselves in circles.

## 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. vvv I was thinking more team communication agreement wise rather than rules-wise, but I'm probably putting the horse before the cart worrying about it.

Mister Sinewave posted:## MISSION ACCEPTED e: for next time I guess! 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.
