Pass 2

(NVM, this isn't going to work)

Christopher

I want to try :P

Alconja

@numbermaniac - you still here?

numbermaniac

11:27 PM

was the game suspended or is it still going?

well yeah i am sorta here

Alconja

stalled i guess. Need a few more semi-active players

Christopher

I need to figure out how to play first. reading rules

Still don't understand

numbermaniac

the rules given aren't very clear

ok so let me try this

one player called the defender chooses a word

Christopher

WOW

numbermaniac

and they reveal the first letter

Christopher

11:30 PM

Sorry please go on

numbermaniac

lol...

the other players then think of their own words starting with the same letter

and they make a clue for that word that can be as hard or easy as they like

Christopher

numbermaniac

if the defender gets the word, then they're safe and we know that's not the defender's word

the defender cannot guess their own word

if somebody else thinks they know the word, they can say contact <clue number>

once somebody has contacted, if the defender thinks they can't solve the clue, they can pass

if the contacter or any other player gets the word when it's been passed, the defender has to give the next letter of their word

Christopher

Ahhh

Ok i understand

numbermaniac

if the answer to one of the clues is the defender's word

then the game is over

Christopher

11:33 PM

What is with +1 -1?

numbermaniac

that was his way of saying "yes" or "no"

and whoever made that clue wins the game

Christopher

Ah cool

I want to try and play in about 30 min most likely

Phoenix

kk I'm back

So soon we'll have 4 for Contact

Deusovi

11:49 PM

@numbermaniac What's not clear about them?

(not playing, by the way, just happened to check in)
