Scion of the Mists Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Great job blue team! And red team too - that was a really close game! 2 hours ago, Babilarian Darkeyes said: (Incidentally the one Coppermind page with the word imprison on it was neither of those.) Wow. I didn't even consider Moon Scepter. I was a little worried about Nightblood, Oathgate, and Chemoarish, but figured you'd win next turn with something like Fabrial or Armor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely - I added you to the Game 13 signup list. We'll give people a few days and then probably kick off at the end of the week. Anybody have any ideas of what theme we should do this time? Did you all like the Investiture-themed game? Any volunteers for Spymaster? @Rhapsody still want to be Spymaster? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered armor but I was going to go with Bracer as I don't look at BoM as actual armor but they are called bracers and hopefully that would have been good enough for Half-Shard. Well done. I thought I had this as I didn't think you would get both at once. Edited April 1, 2019 by Babilarian Darkeyes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done. I thought I had this as I didn't think you would get both at once. If it makes you feel any better, I had been wracking my brain for like a week trying to come up with a clue for Half-Shard and Well of Ascension and only came up with imprison that morning.

+Doomstick Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 We should do something planet-themed like characters from roshar or something 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hi. Yeah I can be spymaster if no one else wants to. I'm open for any theme 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariel Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 7 players is enough for a game, so let's decide on a theme and fill the board. I think a world theme, like Roshar or Scadrial, is good, provided the world has enough articles (so no First of the sun). Shall we start with Roshar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scion of the Mists Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Rosharan characters sounds good. I'll set up the board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariel Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) I filled half of it, mainly by using the "Random Page" feature. Funny thing is, although Roshar is probably the most documented world, many of those articles are 1-3 paragraphs, so feel free to change any that are too obscure.

Funny thing is, although Roshar is probably the most documented world, many of those article are 1-3 paragraphs, so feel free to change any that are too obscure. Thanks! I narrowed down to Rosharan characters, as I think that was @AonDii's original idea. I also randomized the teams. As long as everyone is okay with the board, you and @Rhapsody can exchange a keycard (the Codenames Gadget app is the best for this) and get started. It's been a while since we've had a welcome post, so here's an old one with a quick rules recap. One new rule that we can incorporate (at the Spymaster's discretion) is that for Turn 1 only, it's assumed that you won't be using your extra guess (unless you specify that you want to). It's a minor thing, but it may save a little bit of time. On 2/6/2019 at 11:31 AM, Scion of the Mists said: Other players - you're welcome to join at any time! Just let us know and we'll add you to a team Spoiler warning: The gameboard is spoiler-free, but the Coppermind articles and the discussion may include Cosmere spoilers. Play at your own risk! Rules recap: Spoiler How to play - check out the initial post or the official rulebook Locking in guesses - Bold your guesses to lock them in. Only bolded guesses will count, and the Spymasters will consider them in the order they're listed. Passing turn - Your team's turn ends when one of four things happens: You've used all your guesses (number in clue + 1) You guess incorrectly (opposing agent or Innocent Bystander) The 48 hour time limit runs out Your team passes (at least half your team states pass turn in bold) Expert clues - Sometimes the Spymasters may use "expert clues" - zero or unlimited. Zero means that no words are related to the clue. Unlimited means that some number are related to the clue. Both allow your team as many guesses as you wish (see the rulebook for more info). Eightball variant - In order to win, your team not only has to find all your team's agents, but also the Assassin in White. Additionally, picking the Assassin in White does not immediately end the game with a loss. Instead, a sudden death mode is entered where the team has unlimited guesses (but no more clues from the Spymaster) to find all of their remaining agents. If they're successful, they win. Otherwise, they lose. Spymaster specific info: Spoiler Game setup - One of you needs to generate the keycard (you can use the Codenames Gadget app) and them PM it to the other. The background color indicates who goes first (and has an extra agent to guess). Clue-giving - Each clue must consist of a single word and a single number. The number is the number of your team's agents that relate to that clue. You can also use the expert clues none or unlimited instead of a number. Formatting - When posting your clue, remember to tag your teammates and include a link to the game board. Responding to clues - Either one of you may respond to guesses. If the other team's turn ends (due to the timer, incorrect guess, or passing) feel free to give your clue immediately, no need wait for the other Spymaster.

Scion of the Mists Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Yeah, much as I wish we could avoid spoilers to increase our player base, I think it's kind of an inherent part of the game. Even if the gameboard itself doesn't have spoilers in it, the Coppermind links and any discussion that takes place are bound to have spoilers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
