Hey everyone, I've come down with Covid and so not really in the right place to run anything
Thankfully I'm double jabbed so should be fine but gonna take a break from this

If anyone wants to run a couple of games then they're more than welcome to, if not I'll come back to this when I'm feeling a bit more stable

Hey, sorry it's been a while. I'm still alive, covid really kicked my ass.
Thanks to those of you who have been checking in on me <3

But anyways, I'm back and it's time to get some games going.

I'll check in with those in the queues to see if people are still up for playing

Current spymaster queue is:
Not_Mafia
Nancy Drew 39
lilith2013
The Bulge

Those players will need to confirm that they're still up for spymastering otherwise they'll lose their spot in the queue

This is a shameless bump. Well, maybe not shameless, as it would be a shame if nobody else signed up. I can't guess by myself!

/in to play, sorry I assumed it carried over from before

CreativeMod1 · Post Post #7213 (ISO) » Fri Jan 28, 2022 3:38 pm

Currently we have Not_Mafia v Nancy
With Farren/Mizzy as guessers.

Do you guys want to play a 2v2 or want me to wait for a couple more players?

ISO · Post Post #7214 (ISO) » Fri Jan 28, 2022 3:42 pm

I'm happy with a 2v2; if others want to wait a bit longer, I won't object.

If we don’t get enough people to sign up, I actually enjoyed Duet a lot more. Farren was an awesome partner. <3

How does duet work?

ISO · Post Post #7219 (ISO) » Sun Jan 30, 2022 7:20 pm

Duet's a 2-player cooperative version of Codenames. Both players alternate between giving clues and guessing them, using the same 25-word grid but different keycards. They win by IDing all 15 of their agents (9 each, with 3 of them belonging to both players) before giving too many clues or hitting an assassin.

Game 45 had everyone break into pairs and play out separate games of Duet in PTs (using the same word grid and same set of agents), with the winning pair being the one that managed to do the best job of contacting agents quickly without causing too many problems (bystanders, breaking rules, getting horribly murdered by assassins).

Swoop- 5

Charles510 · Post Post #7222 (ISO) » Tue Feb 01, 2022 8:40 am

Here’s what I see

Swoop like a bird : Eagle, Turkey, Angel

Maybe Diver

Cat Scratch Fever · Post Post #7223 (ISO) » Tue Feb 01, 2022 8:59 am

Agree with Eagle, Angel, and Diver. Do turkeys swoop? I can't remember if turkeys can even fly or not, but I could also be overthinking this :/

Some stretch guesses I have are Cliff, because things can swoop down off a cliff. Or the phrase 'one fell swoop' (really the only time I hear this word) makes me think of force.

What do you think?

Charles510 · Post Post #7224 (ISO) » Tue Feb 01, 2022 9:16 am

You’re right, I haven’t seen a turkey swoop, but I couldn’t come up with 5 good words.

I like cliff. I don’t know about force.

I’m thinking Eagle > Angel > Diver > Cliff > Turkey > Force

Should we start with Eagle?
