manshu

teach me how to play

n_palum

I can do 10 min from now @Sconibulus

G_as_in_Gnome

10 min works

n_palum

@manshu Scroll through the most recent game to get an idea, I left some tips during that game that should help. Also see the RULES pin on the right hand side

manshu

I have seen the rules. So, I'll just see where it started

Sconibulus

2:07 PM

I am back

G_as_in_Gnome

@dcfyj you there?

Sconibulus

Sconibulus defending: E

manshu

2. white solid with liquid in between.

G_as_in_Gnome

manshu

(I'm learning)

G_as_in_Gnome

2:11 PM

You should put a number in front of your clue so it can be referenced easily for contacts :)

Silenus

@manshu Also, embolden it.

manshu

2. white solid with liquid in between.

n_palum

@manshu the common way to show a clue is #. Bolded Clue.

manshu

ohk..

n_palum

And then make sure numbers are not dupes and you star other people's clues (until they are guessed/cleared)

Silenus

2:12 PM

3: for example, Godhead's food

Sconibulus

wow, these clues are pretty tough

Silenus

@G_as_in_Gnome contact on 1

Sconibulus

1: emissary?

n_palum

You should not use clues that are seen as unfair either (Obscure knowledge, characters from things like Pokemon or other obscure things)

G_as_in_Gnome

nope

Sconibulus

2:15 PM

I thought obscure was fine, since it requires someone to contact it

Silenus

@n_palum What about the common use of clues which presuppose knowledge of higher mathematics?

manshu

the questions should have the answers starting with the defending letter, right?

Sconibulus

1: engraving?

G_as_in_Gnome

nope

n_palum

Those seem to get accepted more so @Silenus

G_as_in_Gnome

2:15 PM

1: epistolary?

nope

pass on 1

1: English?

G_as_in_Gnome

yes

Sconibulus

Sconibulus defending: E N

G_as_in_Gnome

Sconibulus

Silenus

n_palum

If your clues no longer fit the letters being defended it is a bust and you should let us know so it can be removed

G_as_in_Gnome

manshu

Sconibulus

2:19 PM

7: Energy?

G_as_in_Gnome

@manshu if your previous clue doesn't fit the new E N letters, then tell us that it's dead

nope

manshu

ohk

G_as_in_Gnome

Silenus

That was word, congratulations!

Rubio

2:26 PM

wow

G_as_in_Gnome

Lol Rubio, walks in and gets the word

manshu

oh...so, the defender can choose the next letter?

n_palum

@manshu The defender thinks of a word from the start, and if they pass and the contacted word is guessed correctly, they give up the next letter in their word

Sconibulus

the defender defends for his full word

Rubio

I need a minute or six here, sorry

G_as_in_Gnome

2:27 PM

yeah the defender has a chosen word at the beginning, and each time he/she fails to guess a clue that an attacker contacts and guesses, he/she has to reveal the next letter of their chosen word

Silenus

@manshu The defender chooses a word at the start of the round. They reveal their letters if they fail to guess clues and other players guess them.

manshu

oh...now I get it..

Thanks. Let's start again

Sconibulus

Rubio guessed the word, so he has first dibs on next defense

he said he needed a minute or three
