Hey! I've played a ton of Codenames in real life so I feel confident about this challenge :)

Nice Gilgamesh! Do you feel comfortable leading then? Or are you more of a guesser?
Offline Profile Quote Post Goto Top

Hmm. I think I could be the giver. We aren't allowed to talk strategy or anything.

If someone else feels more comfortable leading, they can take it. Otherwise, I am fine being the clue-giver.

Codenames challenges can take a pretty long time so we should probably try to get the ball rolling tonight if possible since we're going first.

Also I can spare a little extra time tonight (next hour or so) and then I can check in periodically tomorrow.

Okay, in the interest of the latest mod post, I will volunteer as first clue-giver.

We can reassess from there.

I'm just watching Gold Cup.

So I'm around for a while longer.

I am ok with Gilgamesh being the clue giver.

I'll be around for an hour or so

Though if the Codenames game gets real spicy I may stick around past my bedtime XD

I am going to head to bed but I will be around in the afternoon and hopefully a few hours before that in and out to help. I am a little confused on the challenge so I need to re read it in the morning (I have not played this before)

Heyyy

I love codenames. I'm gonna be phone posting for about another...12 hours, but will try to help smash this later.

Alright. Gold cup is done. I'm ready to spank the other tribe whenever you guys are. I've got unlimited availability for like 4-5 hours, after which I'll be back around close to 2pm eastern.

Let's spank them hard ;)

Also, does anyone wanna volunteer to be a backup clue giver?

I'll be around for another hour-ish or so to give clues, then I'll be available again for a couple hours around lunchtime eastern tomorrow, then again, after about 3:30pm eastern

Thanks for the video! This should be a really fun challenge

I think it'd be best if I stayed on guessing/discussing since I'll be able to be around all day.

if so we need someone to probably volunteer before the first clue is given
Offline Profile Quote Post Goto Top
 
Elizabeth

I'm going to go lay down, so I might fall asleep, but if not I'll check in periodically on my phone in case a game starts up.

I guess this means I probably shouldn't be the Backup Cluegiver for these first few hours. I will be available from like 7 to 1 PDT from work, so I can hopefully get into one of these rounds :)

I feel like I probably wouldn't be super good as a backup clue giver.

I'm gonna be busy for a bit, and then phone posting. Good luck til then, but I'm free to smash this in about 12 hours

If we don't wanna do a backup clue giver and wanna do just me and have everyone else for guessing, that's fine too.

I will do my absolute best to plan out clues ahead of time so I don't have to spend much time checking in. Tomorrow is an unusually light day, so it'd be good for that.

If we go tomorrow I'll be around anytime close to 2pm eastern. I currently have no plans after that time.

If we're not doing this tonight I'm totally getting ice cream.

Yeah, it doesn't look like the other tribe is starting tonight, so I might get some sleep if it doesn't start in 30-45 minutes.

Mods say other tribe is close to having a leader. So once they have that, I'll have a clue up pretty quickly.
Offline Profile Quote Post Goto Top
 
Gilgamesh

People should just post guesses at it comes to them though. Discussing publicly in the challenge thread will actually help the other tribe more.
Offline Profile Quote Post Goto Top

Also for future rounds is there a benefit of going either first or second?

Ideally losing doesnt happen, but if it does then I have no idea if there's a preferable position to begin.
Offline Profile Quote Post Goto Top

I think going second is easier TBH because you have less words to connect.

Boudica is going for the other tribe. Stay tuned to make guesses.

okay well i am going to bed.

i was asked to stay up until like 1AM to get this going, but at this rate, the challenge probably won't even be in the next turn of clues until mid-day tomorrow.
i will check in then.

Until then. I'm gonna go catch up on a few shows and eat ice cream and sleep.
