Alright wanna try a round of something, see if it's any fun, probably 8 or 10 players ideal.

So here we are...spies trying to decipher a code to succeed in our mission...but what if...the spies couldn't communicate? That's what Extra Mysterious Codenames is!

No talking! The spymasters will give a clue, and as a guesser you will PM them your guess(or pass). Every word guessed will be revealed like this example

D1 guessed Cloak
Insanity guessed Hitlerspielen
Ervin guessed Day

until one team reveals all of their words(or someone hits the assassin). If any guesses are doubled - the turn will automatically be passed after the reveal. If all of the guesses are correct and the clue was for more, the guessers may continue to guess until they double up on guesses or hit something that isn't their word.

Post if you want in, teams may discuss a strategy(publicly in forums) before each round start, no discussing during round.

Ok

I don't get it

But list me as a reserve, for if this doesn't fill to your liking

I am intrigued.

In, but not sure I 100% understand.

In

Since we are each pming our guess and can’t discuss with teammates, we should have a 16 hour or 24 hour deadline after clue post to get pm in or else we lose our guess

this extra extra mysterious to me, and sounds like some others too

I’ll play, haven’t read OP

guess i'm in if needed

Ok with me looks like we have 10, let's give it a go!


List Randomizer
There were 10 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

Doctor Z
EB
D1
Eric
Filthy

AE
IBD
Nich
Gabe
Insanity

Me vs Doctor Zeus to start! The 4 guessers on each team may discuss their guessing strategies now before we post the board and give first clue.

ok, if it's a 4+ clue, then take your top 4 choices and alphabetize them...IBD does first, I do 2nd, gabe 3rd, insanity 4th

if <4 clue, just guess a word that you think is right

let's just guess in turn?

so dr z clues. then eb is next on the list. so eb pm's a guess to drz. then drz reveals it. then d1 goes next, and so on. let's do snake order though so...

EB
D1
Eric
Filthy
Filthy
Eric
D1
EB
EB
D1
etc..

reveals will all happen at the same time once all 4 guesses are in so no waiting to see what other people picked during each guessing round

only way there is a 2nd guessing round is if the clue is for a minimum 4 and 4 correct unique words are guessed(and you may guess Pass in round 2 if you wish, like in the event you guess 4 corrects Turn 1 on a 4 clue. If everyone guesses Pass on their first round of guessing, the turn is passed, there won't be any rule of you must guess at least 1 word each turn in this but I imagine that will rarely/never happen)

Also if anyone else wants to join in or perhaps be an alternate feel free to post here! The more the merrier!

You are discussing strategy, but I don't get the rules of the game yet :/

Do we have a 16 or 24 hour rule for pms? Can’t let rounds go days when we can’t even pretend to be discussing options

So we all give our clue, but in which order are they resolved?

if I guess "Tree" and after that Insanity also guesses "Tree", the turn is over, as if insanity passed?

we have 4 guessers. so just divide the word list into 4

EB takes the first quarter
D1 takes the second
Eric takes the third
Filthy takes the 4th

we can each only guess words in our quarter. if you don't think there any words in your quarter, then just don't guess any

I'm OK with 12, 16 or 24h rounds.

You mean if it’s fruit - 4, then we’d arrange our four and then submit in the order you listed?

Apple - IBD submits
Cake - Nich submits
Orange - Gabe submits
Sweet - insanity submits

I think that’s what you’re saying, just making sure.

hmm, I think I'm starting to get it, but that means we must still alphabetize if clue <4 oir we run the risk that we double up on the same clue too much

That's what I understood as well, but if the clue is fruit-3, we still need to order appel-cake-orange and only number 4 of the list picks the most likely he thinks the other 3 missed.
To avoid we do apple-cake-cake-apple and miss out on orange

yeah
