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!)

I also think that's cheating.

I'm going on a holiday (France, yayy!), might be a little slow in responding until tuesday.

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"

Also the logo of the game is a cross, and many elements of the game have crosses in them!

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.

Mafia is a social deduction game where meta tells like movement are to be avoided, to the point where people try to find ways to mask it (e.g. "everybody please move a little").

Codenames is marketed as a party game where the team discussion is a big part of the fun. People could certain avoid it (e.g. whispered discussions, sending Spymaster away while discussing, or even having a no discussion rule so the team members just alternate guessing on their own or something) but I've never heard of a group doing that.

Red. That's guess 3 so our turn is over. Good job!

What? Why? Do you know what 0 means?

Private is red.

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?

Haha, I wouldn't blame you for that. We ran into this problem in an earlier game! I can't remember the exact set but I tried to use [opposite]: 0 and instead they avoided my intended word entirely. I think it might have been Light and Shadow.

So yeah, Private is Red.

I would have taken key last turn if I could. Might be that I feel the need to say this because I didn't really have to do much to win this one.

I'm only on mobile access until tuesday, could gkrieg create a new game for us?

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #1799 on:** July 21, 2016, 08:14:14 pm »

So I'm guessing our others were card, lab, ninja, lemon, figure?
