Are we allowed to discuss strategy for ipofanes? (Obviously he can't respond, but he would hear our ideas and determine his guess based on that)

I don’t care? But I’m not sure what etiquette is.

This is why I'm hesitant about playing in teams - I find it tough to draw the line.

Like, instructing the spymaster directly "(if it's xyz, give us this clue") is obviously forbidden. But I don't have any good guidelines for what you could say. I also don't mind anything people want to do, this is not so serious after all.

Swan, do you play poker?

And bump!

Played full time a bit back. Mainly live NL and PLO in the states and online STTs. How about you?
I used to play exclusively 6max holdem, then exclusively heads up holdem. These days mostly online plo (hu and 6max) with some nl mixed in.

Fair enough. And agree on the obviously forbidden. I'll take the safe approach and send you a PM to see what you think.

OK, I got a "Definitely okay in my book" from Eevee, so I'm going with it:


Realistically, we need to get all 4, and we (probably) know that 2 of the remaining clues are for AIDA.

So if ipofanes cannot find a good clue for 3, he could find something for the other 2, and says XYZ: Infinity. That way we suspect 2 for the new clue and 2 for AIDA and be able to guess for all 4.

So if we are taking opinions... I think that like what pasta said right before here is exactly what SHOULD be allowed. I imagine it like I am playing it in a room with a 5x5 grid of note cards laying on a table.

If we were in teams they could talk back and forth, and the spy master would be in the room right?
So, saying things that influence the spymaster should be like for sure not allowed. Like you should not be able to say anything hinting in any way - examples being like...

a) "so they are not going to say something that links words A B and C together"... cuz that is a slippery slope
b) no direct commands to the spy master
c) probably no arbitrary hints. So like, WORD X is on the board right... it would not be ok (IMO) for a team to be like "well WORD X is obviously a stand alone".


But in regards to talking about strategy for how many words or even saying stuff like "well we had it narrowed to option A or option B before, and we guessed A and got it wrong so we know it is A"... I feel like all of that is fair game.


I base most of it on the concept that everyone playing is playing on a similar field. The one thing to consider, which I actually think makes it kind of more interesting, is that the spy masters know the solution already... so really everything that is speculated over by the team is ACTUAL speculation... kind of like modding a game and reading a town players thoughts about who is skum or something lol

6Max PLO on FTP was my shiznit for like 4-5 years!

FDS Poker night? we could totally make that happen!

I am playing a super fun mafia spin off on Jimm's site right now called Dice mafia... could totally adapt that into a poker type of mafia game. that would be fun!

As for etiquette, I think it should follow what is fair game in the face-to-face version.

OK, COFFEE is such a no brainer, I already put it on bold. I think Shop clearly makes sense next, and then we're back to our two for Aida.

So, I'm liking Lead more and more. If think if Aida not just as the name of the opera but as the character, she is clearly a lead. And then likely Court, though I'd like to check out the board again before we fully commit.

We're on the same wave scolapasta. You have my permission to lock in shop and then lead if you're around before I am.

Aaack!

Oh well, we went down fighting! COURT would have been correct (had we picked it first). But while dream was one I considered, I'm not sure we would have gone there before LEAD or LINE )which was the last blue).

Good game, blue!

ipofanes, since I don't really know the Aida story, can you explain a little more about the connection to DREAM?
