Forced Unlimited Guessing Codenames - Page 141 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

So the common usage of 0 clue is to clue away from words previously mentioned

Y’all had 0 words left unrevealed, but the very last post of the last turn they had 3 words unrevealed and one was cycle which I hard clued off of with bike

I expected this to be a 2 minute turn where you just bolded stream and salsa as the only logical reason I clued bike - 0

I woulda clued Baroque - 0 since eye mentioned that was reason for cycle, but he posted that after reveal and I don’t think we should use post-reveal posts

If it were stream+maracas I just clue Spotify and call it a day

0 clue was only because I was cluing you to words already mentioned; otherwise I’d do a 2 clue

Interstellar for stream + astronaut
Etc

Can always get 2 clue to connect 2 words

If I clue 0 it’s to clue for words already mentioned except for the ones matching the 0 clue

That’s how we’ve always used it afaik

No idea what the standard is, but I would never assume that I should guess off the other teams list with a 0 clue.

It's def an interesting idea, and has use, but no way its my default

I def see the logic tho since like you said, it's 2 words and almost every 2 words has a clue. So you're clearly trying to clue away from something.

and we should always discuss and make a list before bolding, even if it's obvious like sphinx

remember, I've clued Jaguar when cat was neutral because neutral blockers are fine and you got the rest of the words; but if you just bolded cat before any discussion then we would have been in trouble

so even when obvious, we should have a list first

this is unlimited so we gotta keep going

I think scorpion or quack are words he would expect we may guess next so should be neutral

IBeReminiscin on last game for EB

Ya so I half gave up sorta gentleman's GG go watery - 2 for ur Stream and Salsa and end it or do some Mexican - 1 and our team will finish it out for u lol cause we're in rouuugh shape and our list is 2/3 other team's words + brick

But here comes other team with none of that typical stuff! funky 0 clue to supposedly hit our list and hits dead on Maracas

Moral of the story: don't do 0, just clue stuff u want(and ok Nich ill look at other teams list in other game based off this lol but I don't think the concept works[cool idea! but too ambiguous with real 0 imo])
