Helka Homba

03:45

Anyone around?

Deusovi

I'm here at the moment

notjagan

I'm here, but I've never played before

Deusovi

It's not a hard game to figure out

Phoenix

Hello frens

notjagan

give me a moment to read the rules

Phoenix

03:46

We now have 4

Helka Homba

more!

notjagan

I think I understand

Phoenix

4 is technically sufficient

Helka Homba

@Sp3 @ffa @Jan @Rub @etc.

notjagan

but I'm not really sure

Helka Homba

03:48

You'll catch on

Deusovi

yeah

Phoenix

Why is the codenames website link unpinned

notjagan

alright I'll give it a shot

Deusovi

because it's in the description

Phoenix

:DDDDD

notjagan

03:49

although I'll probably have to head to bed soon

Phoenix

Finally!

Helka Homba

Anyone want to be spymaster? I could but prefer not

Phoenix

Same

Deusovi

I could.

Phoenix

Let me qualify that statement

I would prefer to be SM if I'm not going against deus he's too good

Deusovi

03:51

heh

notjagan

I would prefer not to be because I haven't played

Deusovi

well, I just woke up from a nap and am probably going to go to sleep immediately afterwards

Sid

Good morning folks.

Phoenix

notjagan

out of curiosity, how long does a game typically run?

Deusovi

03:52

About an hour.

notjagan

ah jeez

Phoenix

No it doesn't

Deusovi

But it depends on number of people, clue quality, and how tired people are at the time.

Phoenix

Does it?

notjagan

that may exceed my time frame

Phoenix

03:52

Bah, I'll SM

Deusovi

(IRL games last 15 minutes. Discussion takes time.)

@Cyoce, welcome! Want to play?

It's not a hard game - you'll catch on quick

Phoenix

@Downgoat ^^

notjagan

I have an internship starting tomorrow so I'm debating whether I should just go to bed :/

Cyoce

@Deusovi No thanks.

Helka Homba

@notjagan maybe so then

Deusovi

03:53

as long as you aren't the spymaster and there's another guesser on your team, you can drop out

Helka Homba

true

notjagan

in that case I might play for a while

Deusovi

(which is one of the reasons I'm trying to get more people)

Phoenix

!newgame Deusovi, Phoenix, notjagan, Helka

Deusovi

03:54

!joinblue Sid

Shiro

BLUE goes first!

BLUE: Deusovi, notjagan, Sid

Sid

Brb in 5 minutes

Phoenix

@Deusovi Why specifically blue?

You could have just done !join Sid

Helka Homba

wait, I'm not sure Helka = Helka Homba

Deusovi

@Phoenix So notjagan can leave when they need to.

Phoenix

03:55

Well, your turn I guess

Helka Homba

does it matter if the names are correct for Shiro?

Deusovi

yeah, thinking

@HelkaHomba nope

Helka Homba

Deusovi

the bold guess thingy is entirely separate from the team tracker

Helka Homba

@notjagan So now Deusovi (your teams spymaster) is thinking up a clue for you and sid to associate words with

notjagan

03:57

so once we discuss and come to a decision on the words associated, how do we actually guess?

Deusovi

bolded words on the start of a line

Helka Homba

@Deusovi But couldn't the team not playing say bold words to mess things up?

Deusovi

Indeed they could. We trust people here to not be jerks.

(And we have !undo in case of accidental guesses.)

Helka Homba

Phoenix

Like this:

FooBar

(Since FooBar is not on the board that did nothing, but if it was Shiro would fill it in)

If you don't want to guess any more words, you type [Passing]
