POG Wavelength - Inaugural/Beta Game - Page 19 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

I'm in for the next one but I agree there need to be some restrictions on clues. I understand that no one explicitly used the words from the category, but I feel like it's very hard to draw the line. Like if the scale is dumb to smart for example, right now people were giving clues like "A child prodigy who scores pretty high on IQ charts, but not super high" or whatever which just feels... not really in line with how I'd want the game to be played? But I don't know the solution to this since you couldn't form any sort of objective rule about what is or isn't allowed, other than, yeah, maybe just a word count restriction.

If we can make it work I'd also be very much in favor of two smaller games as opposed to another big 5v5 or whatever.

Tournament (of 2v2 games) where every player has to partner with every other player once.

Maybe a new sign up thread for the tourney? New players who are not reading this thread might want in

JMurder, are you going to run this soon for POGcathlon? I’m wondering if we should play here with those who are in or wait for the POGcathlon event if it’s coming soon.

I'll get the sign-up up in a few hours, unless you want to start a thread before then.
