Rules for forum play

1. As opposed to the usual game, I will mod all games & rand a themed word list, secret word, and Chameleon from using a spreadsheet Carl has created.

2. Non-chameleons will be sent the list plus secret word and the chameleon will be sent the list only.

3. Players post their clue word in this thread in spoiler tags. You cannot change this clue once it has been posted. Don’t edit these posts. DO NOT look at any other clue words until you have posted yours.

4. Clues are supposed to be one word. We can be less nitty in this game than in codenames. Hyphens, acronyms, and the like are all fine.

5. Once all clues have been posted, debate as to the identity of the Chameleon can begin. (No need to wait for mod to announce) Nothing said in the thread is binding. PM your official vote to the mod, after which point it cannot be changed. Let’s set a 24 hour maximum time to send in a vote after debate has begun.

6. Mod will reveal the votes. If the Chameleon is correctly identified, they can attempt to guess the secret word right in the thread.

7. Ties: In a 5 player game, 2 v 2 ties are broken by making the odd player re-vote. (Note that this is only necessary if the chameleon is one of the tied players.)

Scoring

Chameleon is caught by village, can't guess word: 20 points to all villagers, 0 to chameleon

Chameleon is caught by village, can guess word: 10 points to chameleon, 0 to villagers

Chameleon escapes vote: 20 points chameleon, 0 to villagers.

Voting the chameleon as a villager: 5 points (self voting is not allowed)

Wait until I post that all PMs have gone out to make your word selection.

Checking in

There is currently a discussion regarding whether research should be allowed going on in the MAIN THREAD if anyone would like to chime in.

I don't get inDheart's and I think Poker's

Poker and I are about on the same page.
Douglas feels like either a great clue or a terrible one.
I dislike the other two.

I clearly see Xanders connection but the clue is so generic, it would fit most words. Same with Gad.

before anyone reads anything into my clue realise that I know jack about sport and especially about america-centric sports.

My clue reflects this

I get 1 other clue without research and might look up some stuff later

most words? really?

alrighty then...

Fair. 8. Only about half.

Initial thoughts are to just vote Gad and be done with it.

I will not be voting Gad based upon his clue

Leaning Gad as well but will have a proper think tomorrow

irtm is safe, we're both thinking the same thing and I believe xander

Don't understand inD's clue at all

nope

think a little bit about it

I am in favour of Gad's clue , think he's a villager and would assume that he's not a huge sports fan.

Research is still allowed but I'm coming up short with a Douglas connection.

Think we'll need some very subtle pointed from inD to help us figure out what the hell he's on about without giving the game away.

my word has multiple meanings and i mean one of them

trying to think of how I can definitively convey that i know the word

i'm loath to go someone with such a specific clue as inDheart's, but there's only one way that I can think that it fits to the actual clue, and it's a stretch unless i'm missing something

Poker's clue I do think fits

my next post I will try to communicate that I definitely know the word

maybe it's xander

i'm a pretty big sports fan but i agree with the rest of your post

I am so bad at WW, that you will know when it's me even as an observer.

"Maybe it's xander" = It's not xander
"Oh wow, it's definitely xander" = It's xander

i mean i've been a bigger sports fan in the past, and now i'm a bit less of a sports fan, but still
