Spoiler: Here's an example

I send the Psychic a card that says "Hot | Cold" and the below wavelength spectrum:


Now the Psychic has to think of something that is on the hot/cold spectrum that would put their team's guess close to where the 4 is on the spectrum. Hot is on the left side of the card, so Hot is represented by the left end of the spectrum; and Cold is on the right side of the card, so Cold is represented by the right end of the spectrum. The target is the gray area with the 4 on it, so here it is about 74-79 on the scale of 0 to 100. The Psychic might say "ice water" as their clue, something that's pretty cold but not the coldest. I publicly show the team the Hot/Cold card and the Psychic's clue, "ice water." They do not see the spectrum. Now their team discusses where they think "ice water" lands on the scale of 0 to 100. Let's say they guess it's at 70. Once they lock in their answer, I ask the opposing team to guess whether they think the true target is further to the left (hotter) or further to the right (colder) than the original team's guess. Let's say they think it's further to the right. The original team gains 3 points for guessing 70 based on the spectrum areas, and the opposing team gains 1 point for guessing correctly that the true target was further to the right. If the team had guessed 60 instead, they would have received 0 points, while the opposing team would still have gained 1 point for guessing left/right correctly. And if the original team had guessed 75, they would have received 4 points (and the opposing team also would not have gained 1 point for left/right).

• Psychic role will be rotated based on order of joining the game. Everyone on the team will need to be the Psychic once before anyone can be the Psychic a second time.
  
• Each Psychic will get a unique card for their round.
  
• The Psychic is not allowed to post in the thread once I have sent them their spectrum until their clue round is over. I will send them the card/spectrum via PM and they will respond to me with their clue in the same PM thread.
  
• All other participants in the game can post during the guessing round.
  
• Please do not communicate about this game outside of this thread.
  
• Teams can be an unlimited number of people, so there is no queue! Just /in and I will place you on a team.

• 0 always represents the left end of the spectrum and the left word on the card. 100 always represents the right end of the spectrum and the right word on the card.
  
• Each of the point-scoring ranges have a width of 5.
  
• Point-scoring ranges are generated such that the entire 4 space is always visible.
  
• Provide a bolded guess like this:
  Guess: 75
  (or
  Guess: Left
  if you're the opposing team)
  
• Only the first guess from each team in this format counts.
  
• Each team will be assigned a representative - whoever was most recently a Psychic who is no longer a Psychic. The representative changes each time the team gets a new Psychic. The representative is in charge of making the team's official guesses, both numbers and Left/Right.

• Teams start with 0 points
  
• Points for the guessing team are determined by the number shown on each area of the spectrum.
  
• The opposing team gains one point for guessing left/right correctly, but only if the guessing team did not score 4 points.
  
• Rounds alternate between teams.
  
• The game ends when all players on both teams have been Psychic at least once, and both teams have played the same number of rounds. Then the team with the highest score wins!
  
• If there's a tie, I will be the Psychic for a sudden death round. The team with the highest score from sudden death rounds wins.

• The Psychic will have 24 hours once I PM them the card/spectrum to provide a clue.
  
• The Psychic's team will have 4 days to come up with their guess.
  
• The opposing team will have 48 hours after this 4 day period ends to guess left/right.

• You may not use Google/other search engines or any outside resources when giving a clue.
  
• Convey a single thought - there shouldn't need to be explanatory context or multiple ideas contained in one clue.
  
• Don't "invent" something - although the clue can refer to something fictional, it has to already exist in the universe. You can't make up an idea just for the clue (e.g. "Draco Malfoy" is acceptable while "Draco Malfoy if he was rewritten with Neville Longbottom's personality" is not).
  
• Stay on topic - if the card says Hot | Cold, you have to provide a clue that can be considered hot, cold, or somewhere in between (e.g. "thunder" would not work as a clue).
  
• Don't use the words on the card or synonyms/alternative forms of those words - you can't use "heat" as a clue for "Hot."
  
• No numbers - you cannot use numbers, percentages, ratios, or anything similar to sneakily provide the location of the target (e.g. "3/4").
  
• No puns, rhymes, homonyms, etc. that try to get around the topic of the card.
  
• Using proper nouns as clues is highly encouraged!
