This actually works fairly well. The arms of your glasses will twist and grab a cleaning cloth and then gently wipe the lenses until they are free from any smudges or grime. Unfortunately, it misinterprets the command just a little, and instead of cleaning themselves whenever they are dirty your glasses will start cleaning themselves whenever you are being filmed. For the rest of your life any home videos of you consist mostly of you cursing and arguing with your glasses as they start cleaning themselves on your face. I want to awaken a long cloak with the command “become as wings for me and grant me flight.” (EDIT: whoops, realized too late that I hard already done this one. Oh well)

Yeah, but I expect Red will have a strong round now. You have the “preservation” clue plus whatever new clue Jondesu gives you to work with.

Hmm, 7 hours left, we better start making some guesses. So, in order, let's go with: Patji Susebron's Mom Wyndle

Sounds pretty good to me. @recneps what are your thoughts?

No worries, don't beat yourself up over it. Everyone makes mistakes as Spymasters, especially when starting out. As for the blue team's clue... Hmm... This one is tricky. Patji and Nightmaws are the two that pop out to me the most, but if that's what Scion is going for it seems like there would be easier clues to connect those two. I could also see a case for Wyndle (being a Cultivation spren and more attuned with Nature) or maybe something like Perpendicularity or the Well of Ascension. But I'm not 100% sold on any of that. Really I'm more inclined to build off of the first clue ("Returned") and guess Siri and Susebron's mom. Thoughts blue team?

@Jondesu I hate to break it to you, but that’s an invalid clue because “Preservation” is actually one of the codenames, and spymasters are not allowed to use part or all of a codename in their clues. According to the rulebook for invalid clues: So we should proceed thusly: @Scion of the Mists Can mark one of blue team’s agents, and then immediately proceed into blue teams turn. On Red team’s next turn, @Jondesu will give another clue like normal, and the red team members will be able to make guesses based on that clue and the “preservation” clue (if it helps, spymasters are allowed to say “unlimited” instead of the number that goes with their clue. This wouldn’t tell their teammates how many codenames their clue applies to, but it gives them an unlimited number of guesses that turn so long as they keep guessing correctly). EDIT: Also, @Jondesu note that @Rebecca dropped out of this game (at least for the time being) and @Rhapsody joined in her place, so the team’s are actually like this: Red Team Spymaster: @Jondesu @luckat @xinoehp512 @Rhapsody Blue Team Spymaster: @Scion of the Mists @Herowannabe @Cadmium Compounder @recneps

Got it! Nice job! EDIT: I just saw @Ishar‘s edit in the post above about what constitutes a god. The “gods” in Spook’s case were Sazed, Kesier, Vin, and Ruin. The names he went by were Jedal (his birth name), Lestibornes, Spook, Survivor of the Flames, and Lord Mistborn.

Nope Nope (still not Hoid) Nope Clue #6: this character survived crippling and disfiguring injuries

Nope. Nope. Hint #5: this character speaks more than one language.

Nope. Nope. Hint #4: This character uas had personal interactions with multiple “gods” (at least 4, by my count)

Nope. Nope. Nope. Hint #3: this character has gone by multiple names- at least 3 (or 5, if you count honorifics).

Welcome aboard Rhapsody! We’ll put you on Red team to take Rebecca’s place.

I agree, Mercystar and Austrism seem like the most obvious choices, so I’ll go ahead and make those official. The third could be either Susebron’s Mother or Siri. Neither of them were Returned themselves, but were closely associated with the Returned. Hmm... thoughts?

Nope and Nope. This character did not get on well with their father.

Your computer literally kicks you out of your chair and begins working. It does all the things you would normally do during your work day: it commutes to work, takes coffee breaks, chats up coworkers by the water cooler, and of course, completes your work load in a timely and effecient manner. Things are great for a few weeks, but then your employers realize they don’t need you and fire you, but keep the computer on full time. It goes on to earn earn employee of the month (multiple times), get promoted to manager, then Director of Operations, then Vice President, then Senior VP, and finally, CEO. A few years later, while you sit in the gutter begging for spare change, you see your computer on the cover of Forbes magazine. I want to awaken a large quilt with the command “become as wings for me and grant me flight.”

Woo! Okay then I guess that means I have to give a clue. Hmm... This character narrowly avoided making a terrible mistake

@Scion of the Mists thanks for posting the rules recap!

If it’s not Vivenna... then Frava?

Okay to both of you. But remember that in this game it’s easy to add/drop people at any time, even mid game, so just let us know when you’re ready and we’ll add you in.

Okay, Game 5 is set up and should be ready to go. Link to the grid (@Jondesu and @Scion of the Mists you should have editing privileges for it). Teams are the same as last game, though I have added @recneps to Blue Team. @Kidpen, are you ready to join in? If so you will be on Red Team. Red Team Spymaster: @Jondesu @luckat @xinoehp512 @Rebecca Blue Team Spymaster: @Scion of the Mists @Herowannabe @Cadmium Compounder @recneps Spymasters, look over the grid and let me know if you wish to request any changes, If not, then go ahead and create a new key card and start round 5 whenever you're ready!

Alright then. Since that round was so short, @Jondesu and @Scion of the Mists Do you want to be the spymasters again for next round? We can just reset the board and key card, but keep the teams the same (and add in new players that want to join).

For those of you still waiting for a chance to get ahold of one of the Hoid promo cards, Crafty Games and I have been hammering out the details behind the scenes. Look for an announcement soon on the kickstarter page and/or Crafty’s site and/or this forum.

*sad trombone* Well, we never reached a consensus on eightball mode verses regular, but seeing as I was the only one who voted I say let’s go ahead and do eightball mode, which means now that the assassin in white has been found, it goes to sudden death. Red team now has unlimited guesses to find the rest of the red agents. If they make any mistakes before they find all the agents then it’s game over. Good luck! Ready, go! Edit: Link to the grid

When you wear your jacket out in the sun you become the talk of the town, the bee’s knees, all the rage in Kingsbury. Teenage girls titter and blush when they see you and guys give you that quick little head-nod thing and fist-bumps as you walk by. Famous atheletes and supermodels post about you in social media. You get invited to star in the next set of “the most interesting man in the world” commercials. The Fonzi is embarrassed to be seen in your presence. Everyone is struck with awe and amazement at how incredibly awesome you look in your hoodie. All while you sweat like a pig stranded in the middle of the Sahara desert. I want to awaken a car with the command “become as my chauffeur and take me to my destinations.”

I like the eightball version, so that’s my vote.
