Some Numbers will one day get to be spymaster, and he'll give a clue, and his team will first pick the assassin.

It's going to be a lot less special, since that already happened in this thread.

Some numbers already volunteered to step down, but I'm hella into being a spymaster, so I'd rather wait a turn than step down, if that's needed with the newbies.

The rush of new players has sorta shaken things up. Both Some Numbers and Barry Shitpeas have been bumped to next game, and you're in position eight.

Nope. We have seven newbies for an eight player game so far, and newbies get to jump vets in the queue. You're in next game pretty much no matter what.

Please don't. The thread will become an unreadable mess with two simultaneous games running. Wires will get crossed, teams will guess on the wrong clues, and I'll get a migraine.

I don't think the queue is cycling slow enough to justify a second thread yet, but that's my personal opinion, and I wouldn't mind at all if you leeched my queue. But not in one chaos thread, dear God.

IT IS SAID THE TEARS OF THE BWEENIX CAN HEAL ALL WOUNDS




I agree entirely; definitely not in this thread, but really, at 8 players a pop, and twoish games a week, I think people will get to play pretty frequently, and if we create a new thread, we really should have an organizing thread and offshoot threads and then things just get complicated.

Holy poo poo, there's no way I'd consider starting a second game in this same thread that would be a gigantic clusterfuck.

I wasn't even thinking of leeching off Gutter Owl's queue, but making my own thread and starting a new queue.

And just to reiterate the thread rules for the rookie brigade:

  • Both clues and guesses must use ## Bold and Hashtags to count as official.
  • After the Spymaster issues a clue, Couriers have 24 hours to guess words, measured from the timestamp of the Spymaster's post.
  • After 24 hours, the team can continue guessing up until the enemy spymaster posts a clue, at which point your turn immediately ends.
  • Likewise, Spymasters have 48 hours from a ##Pass or incorrect guess to issue a clue.
  • If a Spymaster fails to issue a clue in time, it counts as an invalid clue (i.e. the enemy team gets a free reveal).
  • If you're unsure about whether a potential clue is valid or not, PM me, and we'll sort it out.

Also, I'm adding one additional rule to the OP: WHEN YOU SIGN UP, YOU MUST SPECIFY WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE PMS. Players without PMs cannot be spymasters, and I'd like to know this ahead of time.

The pm was titled "You're up" so I assumed I was up, not, "you're next after the blue team" Oh well, what ever.

E: reading posts in the thread? Ain't nobody got time for that! (I just saw the game start post) . What can I say? I'm excited.

Forums protip: Everyone with a grenade next to their name has PMs, which seems to be most people (but not burger time for instance). Not that it isn't easier if people write it, but y'know, it's a feature.
