Aside: how strict are we being on rules? The Codenames rules includes expert clue rules (where you can give "0" and "unlimited" as numbers), rules about proper names that are technically more than one word, rules about rhyming clues... And we'll play more than one round, right?Ivote yes for multiple games, unlimited and 0 as guesses, I'm fine with proper names. What does the rule say about rhyming?
Edit: In case anybody misses it, my clue is on the previous page (if you are using the default number of posts per page).
@silverspawn
Sorry!

I say yes to everything but rhyming. If you have a question about a specific clue just PM the other soy master

Our best shot was you picking alps for Cow. I would have done that over Icecream.
I intended shot for dangerous... looks like that was too far fetched. Also maaaybe Himalayas.

That must be a German/European? thing. I would never associate alps and cow
I'd be up for another round
It's also a bit of a family thing, since we went to alps like every year since the beginning of time and always saw cows.

So what was Chapada Diamantina for? And was Shot supposed to point to Disease?
I guessed Pitch for Three because it's 3 strikes and you're out.
Yeah, I wasn't sure if I should google anything because I wouldn't be doing that while playing IRL. I ended up doing a cursory search for just the place name, but nothing too specific.
What was the assassin card? In your place, I think I may have given "Dominion: 3" as my first clue... unless the assassin was Ship.

I need an emoji of putting a finger on your nose. That was the assassin. Also doctor was theirs

Oops! Forgot about Doctor. Yeah, that was a tough start. Clue as a clue was hilarious though. Out of curiosity, did you mean "Lead" as in "I have a lead" or as in the Lead Pipe from the game? I thought both, which is why I picked that one first. :P
Amazing clues! And I almost botched it.Watson as ex-military often carried a pistol in their adventures, and as a doctor he treated diseases... I knew it was a long shot but I didn't think you'd go to ship anyways, and after they took our hardest word (settle) out, the prospect of winning in two turns felt too good to pass up, even if it wasn't the safest win after the excellent start.
Thing is that I don't know anything about Watson, and doing some research I found things indicating Bow, plus shot, and I chose it over disease.

Well, it basically becomes invisible, which is why I bolded instead. Maybe it's because I have a different brightness, if it's not for you.

should probably answer that after the game
oh right, you're not a spymaster.
well, I'm not a native, I only know the word prescription for a few weeks, because sanders keeps using it. so-- I looked it up, and it immediately gave me the meaning in law and the one in medicine, so I assumed they're used equally.

Aw. :(Good ideas! I think I was even thinking about throne at some point, don't remember why I decided against it. It's pretty bleak though. Someone randomize the next, and keep in mind it's our turn to win. :)
So I think it was a bit early to drop an Unlimited clue. silverspawn could have easily picked up Paper as the extra guess on a later clue, and "item" was a bit generic.
Also, maybe "Cash" could work for Paper and Change? "Throne" for Crown and Chair? But yeah, that blue set looks especially tough. So far I've been aiming for at least 3 on every first clue, but I don't see any for that here...
For gkrieg's Animal clue, I was torn between Fair (like, a state fair with animals) and Cook.

And for good reason, you can get a free ticket on every country simply by translating any other clue into that language.
well, unless you are using Sauerbraten regularly-- are you?
Uhh, I thought it would be OK since it's a specific food dish and there's no equivalent definitely-English word. If I were to refer to it, I would call it Sauerbraten. But if you want a penalty, I won't make a big deal about it. In any case, Paper is Blue.

As a noninvolved party, I would have accepted sauerbraten. It's frequently on the menu at my local German restaurant. I place it in the same category as crepe, tiramisu, and sushi (though probably not unagi and tamago).
As for that list of additional words, I couldn't get the web page to open for some reason. We should probably ask in the main Codenames thread.

and I wasn't meaning to imply that we should give you a penalty or anything, just for the future. But if it's fine anyway, then nvm, as long as we don't allow to translate just any term.

Within the realm of reason, and according to what the group is comfortable with. Like, it would certainly be wrong for gkrieg to do stuff like, "you should give this sort of clue if it's this, or that sort of clue if it's that" and dictate what I do. But the guessers would certainly be talking, especially if there were multiple guessers per team.

So here's how I evaluate the situation right now:
I've given a clue to cover every word already, but some are a stretch. I think London is well covered by Pub. Head is OK-ish. It's covered by "Frosty" and "Pub", which were both stretches but there are two! Frosty was originally supposed to be "Frosty the Snowman > hat on head" but gkrieg guessed Tap, probably thinking of beer. In that sense, Frosty still works for Head and I decided to lean on that further with Pub. So I hope that's OK.
Centaur is iffy. The intention was to get it with Sauerbraten (traditionally made with horse meat). Card is also a little iffy because Cover has maybe even a stronger connection to Pub.
So I really want a clue to hit Centaur and Card. From the start, I really wanted to go with Dumbledore: 3 to hit London, Head[master] and Centaur (for the magical connection and the big role they play in the series). I avoided it because of Fair. Now that I think about it more, it could have a Card connection (chocolate frogs) but there is also a danger with Tower. I was also considering Tarot, Divination, or Magic to touch on similar ideas, more strongly hitting Card (especially Tarot and Magic) but being weaker with other associations. Tarot has a problem in that it has a strong connection with Tower. Queen is another possible 3-clue but it doesn't hit Centaur, which I'm worried about, and could mislead to Fair as well.
I'm torn between trying for another 3 and hoping the previous clues are enough to guide away from the red herrings, or just giving a stronger clue for Card and Centaur (currently thinking, Stables: unlimited).
gkrieg's statement doesn't really affect my judgement because I know I've already covered everything but I also know that some things are a bit of a stretch. His statement doesn't tell me anything useful because he could easily be overconfident. It's easier for me to just judge based on my own intention and evaluation (Pool notwithstanding).

It was great because they went together: America Picks Donald Trump and Falls
I thought Donald Trump was really clever.
For Cleric, I was actually aiming for Light instead of Lead, because I was thinking of it more as the element. In retrospect, we might have been able to do Cleric: 5 to grab Train as well. I had been planning to use something military to hit Lead (bullets), Train and Pants. I ended up trying Cargo > weight > Light but I knew Letter was a risk there. I was hoping that the red clue for Peel might have deterred faust there.
Once more with switched roles?

Ha, light makes sense for cleric I guess. Train, Letter and Pants just came to me immediately when I thought of Cargo, and I didn't think you would play risky with the lead we had.

I think it's more fun to play risky in Codenames. :P The lead wasn't necessarily so big. I actually wasn't sure what else War in the Worlds was for, but maybe Eevee could have cracked it. And then I knew there was Peel for Letter. That's 2, so it seemed possible for red to catch up with past clues filling in.
I also didn't think Letter was a super strong association, though I figured it was probably a bit more plausible than Light. But I went for it anyway. Didn't work out that turn, but oh well!
faust or Eevee, randomize the next one?

Good game. I would have had trouble connecting sail, ham and paw even if you missed.
I realized the "disease" misspelling early on, but didn't want to say anything because that might have indicated that it was blue.

I've been spectating this, and interestingly would have never guessed cake for white - I would have gone straight for Sail, Marble and Snow. ;D
The Owl hint was awesome, congratulations to team blue!
I realized the "disease" misspelling early on, but didn't want to say anything because that might have indicated that it was blue.
While for my part, I thought it was high likelihood for Life whether it was Disease or Decease, but the fact that it hadn't been corrected immediately made me doubt. :P.
If you didn't do GoT, something like Jesus could have hit Church, Grace, Heart, maybe Root, Disease, Court. Temple would be the one trap there.
Temple and Grace were my other thoughts for Owl. Did you intend it for Grace and I just got lucky with Court? Temple was a possibility to me because I have this strong association for Temple > Athens > Athena > Owl motif, but that's just so many steps.

I don't know. It fits, but I also thought it would go well with Robin Hood, so I guess it depends on how those guesses would have went down.
He famously gave back to the poor!
Now I'm really out until tomorrow.
We are like modern day Robin Hoods ourselves with Faust, giving words to the other team left and right.

Those were the things I thought about for fatty too, so fatty: 4 might have worked.
I imagine it would have been rather difficult if palm and thumb didn't have the same color.
I would have guessed Thumb for herniated next, apparently the bulging disc can make your thumbs numb.. So we were really lost on this.
What were the words for robin hood and herniated?

Uh I wasn't exactly sure about the rules... there have been multi-word clue before, no? Sorry if I messed up, but giving another tip would be stupid now, right? We could do some compensation like reveal a random red word if you feel it's against the rules. Anyway it's a single noun in German :P
PPE: it's not a proper noun because there are different air forces out there, right?
PPE: it's not a proper noun because there are different air forces out there, right?
So if I named a specific air force, that would have been allowed, even though it conveys more information?

One word clues
Well, Little Boy was the codename of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in WWII. Not sure if that counts as a proper noun (more were manufactured) but it is also the name of a 2015 war film as a reference to the bomb, as well as the main character who is a little boy.
Should I take my guess? The spy masters should talk this one out...

Going again with the homophone stuff (I realize this is slightly different), I would say that it couldn't have references to little boys, and I see that many of the words definitely are associated with that part of the clue as compared to the bomb part of the clue.

This game was such a mess. My Pluto clue really messed us up.
Mouse (Mickey Mouse's pet), star (both celestial objects), vacuum (pluto is in outer space, that's a vacuum) and .. I don't understand why I said 4, maybe a missclick? Embarassing. :-[

FWIW, Mouse and Vacuum were also on my list for Pluto.
So was Ring for Shot like I thought? And what was the third Little Boy word? Also Shot, connected by way of artillery?
gkrieg, can you make the next one?

New York!
Wow that game was a struggle for both sides. Very fun though. What was the Jameson clue?
Yeah, that's what Jameson was - a little easier IRL as I can pronounce it with three syllables instead of two. I realised afterwards I could have stretched it to 3: a SERVER brings you Jameson whiskey at a bar.
I was planning "Hood" for New York / Robin, as I usually see Gotham as a Chicago analogue to Metropolis' New York.
Persephone's third was "slip" (she erred in eating). I thought Night might be guessed first but it was neutral so whatever. Blackberry was for Palm (the older handheld computer).
Great game! Bugle was a lucky catch, that would have been hard to add to our remaining words since it seemed clear that JJJ had missed.
I had to google what commissary means, and the first thing I got was "deputy or delegate", which I thought Robin could be to Batman, so that was that. My second guess for barracks was going to be cover, so it was definitely looking bleak for us whatever happened. I thought bugle was a name for the military horn as well.

After some thought, I though "Atlantic" might work to hit those three while excluding Turkey, but I would try to wait until Sink and Scuba Diver were gone. Scorpion and Worm should be easy to connect, but my first clue was going to be Apple for Teacher, Worm and maybe Tap (via touchscreens). If that worked, I could try for some sort of Mortal Kombat clue to hit Snow and Scorpion. :P

Yes, I think this should not be done. I don't mind ehalc explaining his pass earlier, but straight up saying what clues you will take gives way too much information to the spymaster. I mean, you could then also just say: "If you want me to pick X, give a Y clue." That's no fun.

in my IRL games we haven't allowed googling but when 2v2 and the courier has no idea what it means we give a different clue (assuming honesty, all that has happened is free information for the opponents so no harm).

Well my other guess was going to be Log (in the sense of writing in a journal and reflecting).
The ones we missed were... Antarctica and Dress? I guess Antarctica reflects because it's icy? Not sure about Quiet/Dress though, if that was even the intention.

Before we reveal it... It turns out that gkrieg actually screwed up his last clue. He meant it to be March 1: 2. Given that, what would your second guess have been?
You didn't look up national platypus day then!

gkrieg posted the clue as it was by accident, then messaged me to ask if I would have allowed dates. I was against it at first, and in the meantime you guys just assumed he accidentally left out the colon. Then he told me his reasoning and I thought the National Platypus Day reference was funny so he could correct the clue with the number if he wanted (even though Eevee had posted that platypus video!), but then faust made his guess before gkrieg returned (I think).
We should clarify now though. Are dates allowed? Here's a discussion thread (https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1508841/dates) but it's inconclusive. As with most Codenames rules, it's up to the group.

So we got three 3 clues, but for each one I really only got 2. Apparently Angel was for Looking... what were the third words for Holsteiner and Aramoana?
Since it's in between a game, I guess I'll ask: When (let's say blue) gives a hint like Egg: 3 and the blue field operator guesses 3 things successfully, why do you assume they want the turn to end?
You don't trust dumb luck?Since it's in between a game, I guess I'll ask: When (let's say blue) gives a hint like Egg: 3 and the blue field operator guesses 3 things successfully, why do you assume they want the turn to end?
I didn't have anymore clues that I hadn't gotten the words already so there isn't too much of a point of me guessing further

Aramoana was Laywer. I don't think Holsteiner had a third, but he needed the number to give you enough clue to win. (Should just take "unlimited" in that case though)

I'm fine with the clue. I think that people are a good form of multiple words. I think that maybe the names of places or events should be avoided.
If nobody says anything in the next ~90 minutes, I'll just use the clue and we can bring in the stricter single-word rule next game.

Let's do some good old PoE.
It's not Tie, because really, you would have given the clue Shoe for Sock/Tie.
It's not Tale, because Santa Claus would be a clue for Sock/Tale, and I see no convincing connecting to Vargas.
Is it Paste? I don't see how paste has anything to do with the clue. So I guess not.
It could be Aztec, if Vargas has some sort of Aztec ancestry, but I don't know about that and it doesn't feel right to google.
Face... well I guess people have faces, so there. However, it could just as well be the red word. Possibilities for that one run out too. Sock/Face also seems like a clueable combination.
Watch... well, you watch sports, that could be valid. You also watch concerts, so ugh, it could be red for the same reason.
Finally, Mint. Well, smell kinda works for sock/mint, no? :P
It seems like the possible words are also possible for red, which is ugh. However, Aztec seems like a stretch, so I'm going for Watch.

I mostly thought "Well, they all don't really fit... but I assume gkrieg would have come up with a better connection for most of them. I know Crane has given me a hard time in another game, so I'll choose that one."

Uh.. I don't think this should be allowed. Too much information for the spymaster if the first one is wrong.
Yeah, it seems fine to me. IRL the discussion among guessers is far more informative to the Spymaster and among the things that people find most enjoyable about the game. It's only a problem if a team tries to take advantage of it, e.g. asking for a certain clue if this or a different clue if that. We've self-censored a little in this game, but in general I think it's OK to voice suspicions.

I thought it was not allowed, because if it was, I would just always tell my spymaster all the words that I consider before placing a guess; not doing so seems like bad play then.
This is very true. I just thought the norm was not not saying anything so I haven't been. Normally you say all of the words you're thinking about and really talk it through your thought process

So yeah, it's just something to leave up to discretion of the group. A little thing like gkrieg's two guesses is totally fine IMO. Something like, "I'm torn between these words... I'll go with this" would be fine by me too, though this group so far has mostly avoided that.

IMO, it's just a good faith thing. If a guesser wants to share their thoughts or hesitations or whatever, it's probably fine. If a guesser is trying to game the system with a code or whatever else, that's bad. I trust that nobody here has any intention of cheating.

Well I don't know if I'm cheating if I don't know the rules. Before this conversation, I felt that telling my partner all words I'm considering before guessing is cheating, and now I don't, so I always will do that.
Also :( I thought my clue was pretty good and honestly don't really see the cross connection. (Red Cross maybe? But hey, that should be an alarm bell right there!)
Well in the real game each team usually has a couple of guessers. It is very common to say " I think I missed these two from that last clue so those will be the first ones I guess for the next clue"

Sure. But in my mind, it's more like a "this cannot be avoided" kind of thing rather than being intentional. Similar to how in IRL mafia games you have the "he moved while we had our eyes closed" tell. There is no reason to think that this should be emulated when playing forum mafia.

What? Why? Do you know what 0 means?
Private is red.
Doesn't it mean it isn't related to it?
Private is the opposite of public, so I thought it was another clue for that one.
sorry about that.

Well, yes it means it's not related. If one word is the opposite of another, they are related. Also I already knew you were going to guess Private, so why would I clue that again?

Sure, it can help the other team. So can flat-out guessing if you guess the wrong word. That doesn't prove that you should make no guesses. I think overall the benefits outweigh the costs. And even if the other team does not make suggestions, you should keep in mind anyway what their remaining words could be based on their clues, and act accordingly.At least to me these block guesses -> block reveals take some of it out, so I thought that'd be more fun.I hear you.

That's false! This extra information may help your spymaster provide you with better clues, but it can also help the other side! For example, as the opposing spymaster, I once decided on a different clue because you (or gkrieg?) indicated a suspicion for a word that was one of ours! Instead of going with a clue that would cover that word, I picked a different clue to leave that option up as a trap. Can't remember if that worked out, but it was a thing.
Also, if you indicate a suspicion for something correct but an earlier guess stops the chain, that can influence the opposing guesser! For example, gkrieg's above chain of guesses was stopped by Mammoth, but he mentioned break and tag as follow-ups. Maybe faust will now avoid those words if he thinks gkrieg's reasoning makes sense.

Firefly was bug and night,
Manhunt was tag, break, ??
Descole was spy, England, ??
I think rock probably makes the most sense? I don't think Descole ever wore a crown, if I remember correctly, and ground and band just don't really work? Also Manhunt was developed by Rockstar games, so...
ROCK?

I know it's not intentional, but it can be misleading if you post a grid with colors that haven't actually been revealed. Let's not do that.

Good game! You guys played well.
My clues probably could've been better this game. Firefly was night and bug (I probably should have chosen cricket or something instead), manhunt was tag, night, and spy, and Descole was spy, england, ground, and break (and I was hoping you would guess tag from the previous clue, which is why I said 5 instead of 4.)

Am I allowed to ponder the earlier clues before faust gives his now? Definitely feel like it would be a big advantage for us, but it also feels a little against the spirit of the game, even if it isn't any different from pondering them when giving my guesses. Gray area, thoughts?

why shouldn't the spymasters be allowed to see the discussion? i've only played codenames in person (words version) with more than two people per team, and it works fine

I think it's also undesirable to have simply have something like playesr choosing between two options, and thus telling the spymaster what their next guess will be.
I expect a counterfactual discussion among spies ("if he wanted tit excluded, he'd given Mammals 3 and not Animals 3"), and there's a fine line between that kind of discussion and "well, if he really wanted us to pick pot, golf, and nail, he'd surely had given Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 3". I am not in the strongly preferrence camp but I can see the point.
