Once we get some of these games under our belt, I am hopeful we will have a bit of a player base to run some more 2/2 turbos. To me that is best format. 4 people (2 on a team), committing to 90 mins or so of high speed codename... When we did this a year or two ago the turbos were awesome...

Not saying the slow games should stop, but it would be great to have both slow and fast.

Also, our game 2 is actually a glacier game....very hard to get or keep any momentum, and tough for spymasters as you feel an obligation to keep a close eye on the thread even though nothing is happening (at least I felt I needed to). I am willing to acknowledge that this might just be my impression that things are too slow.

I agree that turbo is much better.

I wonder if we could schedule a game in advance? Maybe that would work.

Are you subscribed to the thread, with e-mail notification directly to your phone? Then you don't need to pay any kind of attention.

Good point, Gabe. I had done that before on a different thread but got way too many notifications. It would work well in this game, though. Thx

In for the mirrored/parallel/duplicate games, if there is a spot available.

One more needed for the duplicate slow game!

What will be the format? How about 3 games, one vs every team and everyone gets to be spy master once?

Will we do any scoring? How about scoring 3-0 if you win a game where the other thread loses the game with the same color and scoring 2-1 if in both threads the same color wins?

I think this post is D1iab wanting in, which would make 12:

Scoring seems fine. You could also scramble the teams each time and make it more of an individual contest.

Am fine with either format, but I'd prefer to play with same team for the first iteration. Learn how people think / give clues.

Looks conclusive to me, let's get this party started!

Sorry if I'm slow but I I just want to make sure I follow here:

- Were going to have 4 teams of 3. 3 games per team.
- Each person is the code master for 1 game.
- We'll need 3 different lists, and we'll need someone from outside the 12 to rand them and send them to the code masters. But the 3 lists won't change.

So team A plays team B with list 1, then plays team C (or D, whatever) with list 2, then plays other team with other list?

I think you've got it right. Should look like this:

Round 1 (List 1)
A vs B
C vs D

Round 2 (List 2)
A vs C
B vs D

Round 3 (List 3)
A vs D
B vs C

Each team member is code master for 1 round

The above plan looks great to me.

Will rand for teams now.
And I'll post in chat thread for someone to rand the game for us.

Unless one of you fine gentlemen can do it for us?
