This is the first attempt to play an upcoming game called Wavelength on POG. It’s another word game like Codenames or Chameleon, but this one is a game of degrees.

2 teams. Each round one team has one member as the word giver. They are given 2 extremes as the categories, such as hot/cold or hygienic/unhygienic along with a target area on the dial. They then post a clue (word or even a short phrase allowed).



Their team then debates in the thread how far to turn the dial on the spectrum. Once they agree, the other team determines if they think the real area is to the right or left of the needle.

We then reveal and the guessing team gets points based on how close they are to the right area. The other team gets 1 point on if they were right on which side of the needle the area was.

For example:


Here some examples of clues you might give to guide your team towards the slightly immature part of the spectrum:

typing 58008 into a calculator
Giggling when you hear the word “Uranus”
Monty Python


Scoring:
Right on is 5 points, 3 points for being 1 away and 1 point for 2 away; 0 for anything else.


Because we can’t physically turn the dial on POG, I’ll post an updated image of the dial with 27 sections and you can give your answer as which of those sections you want to put the needle on.

Sign up here if interested in playing.

In the example above, what if I said "a baby the very moment it exits the womb" trying to go for the most immature thing possible. Is there anything wrong with that?

What constitutes a legal clue? I assume you can't say something like "The most immature thing you can possibly imagine" or similar language.

Your clue is fine, at least for now; we can always tighten up later if there is need for it.

And yeah, you can’t use the words in the categories so can’t say “immature” and even with other language can’t say something to the effect of “the most childish possible” or “halfway” or whatever to indicate where it is

I'll in

Is the word giver provided with an exact target?

Yeah, they get the target area

Oh, this makes more sense. I missed the part of assigning the target area. I thought the clue giver picked it.

Do we need a dial? Can't we just use numbers?

I'm fine with it if you want to, just trying to make life easier.

ok

Yeah we’ll use numbers but the visual dial with the numbers on it will be useful so we are talking about and visualizing where on the spectrum it is and then using number as a reference rather than just ranking 0-10 how extreme something is.

ok

Ok I’ll get the board ready and we’ll start later this morning

Team Left:
Carl
Arctic
Eleanor
Nails
PokerCrazy

Team Right:
eyebooger
IRTM
D1abolical
Prip
Insanity



Team Left will go first. Someone on that team volunteer to be the first clue giver and I'll send the target number (1-27) and Categories to you and post the Categories in the thread and we'll get started.

I'll go first.

Are we playing itt or a new one?

I’ll create new thread and post link here shortly.

Also I’ll send you pm now so you can start thinking and then you’ll just post your clue in the other thread in bold when ready.
