Welcome to Codebreaker II: The Katydid Initiative! Codebreaker is a hybrid game of Survivor and Mastermind for 11 players. In this game, there is an overall code made up of twelve unique segments, each with its own unique placement as a line in the code. Each player will privately submit a seven-letter segment of their choosing before the start of the game, which will then be given a placement in the code randomly as one of the twelve lines. A player's segment is revealed to all participants when he or she is eliminated from the game. The first player to submit the correct full code is the winner! You may notice that there are twelve segments for only eleven players - this is to allow for the first day to serve as a lighter introduction to the game. The first day will not have player elimination, and instead the segment that was not created by or assigned to a player will be flipped at the end of the day. Please do not come into the game with predetermined alliances, and please do not share your chosen segments before the game has started! As this game is largely social with limited communication, it would be a significant and unfair advantage. Additionally, editing your posts is not allowed in this game! Day Phase:
Night Phase:
Guessing:
Communication:
Game End: The game ends the instant somebody submits the entire code in the correct order. Daily voting will continue until the game ends or there are two players remaining. If the game reaches two players but neither player correctly submits the code, each remaining player will have their code segment revealed and it becomes a showdown. The two remaining players will cycle through Day/Night phases as quickly as they can make their submissions - the first player to get it right will win! Changes from Season 1:

Example Guesses & Results: Assume the actual code is as follows: code:
code:
1. You have correctly identified 3 code segments (WITCH, PANDA, SKULL). 2. You have correctly placed 1 code segment (WITCH). 3. You have 2 code segments off by one spot (PANDA, SKULL). If a player submits: code:
1. You have correctly identified 4 code segments (SKULL, MUMMY, PANDA, WITCH). 2. You have correctly placed 1 code segment (MUMMY). 3. You have 3 code segments off by one spot (MUMMY, PANDA, WITCH). Notice that even though this player correctly placed the first MUMMY, the second one would still show up as being one line away. Guess wisely! If you have questions that can be answered using this hypothetical code, please feel free to make "guesses" in the thread to get clarification.

drat, I am headed to a software conference, and wouldn't be able to give this game the attention it deserves. Otherwise, I'd be in again. Good luck, all.

Updated the OP - guesses have been increased to two on Day 1, but Days 2 and beyond will be a single guess per player.

Don't forget to send me your seven letter code segments! You can use any capital letter here: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Sweet, we've got a full roster! Once I get 7-letter segments from everybody, your PMs will go out and we'll start. I'm gonna go ahead and have D1 run over the weekend since there's no elimination - it's really a day to banter and posture and do your two D1 guesses.

PMs are out - the game begins! It is now Day 1! There is no communication outside of thread on Day 1. Day 1 ends on Monday, June 26, at 10pm Eastern. Remember that you get two guesses on Day 1! The game will scale back to one guess per day beginning on Day 2. I'm always available to answer questions, whether in the thread or via PM. Feel free to submit guesses to me against the hypothetical code in the second post if you want more examples of how the system works.

So am I reading this right and the code is 12 segments long but there are 11 players?

MMM Whatchya Say posted:So am I reading this right and the code is 12 segments long but there are 11 players? yep - the day 1 "elimination" will reveal the 12th segment (but not its location) It's an attempt to make the first game day less like a popularity contest since the d1 elimination is kind of arbitrary otherwise.

Do people want to break the ice with really generic clues about our segments? Mine is a Phish reference.
