Jack, what do you think?

Also, is it possible to play with 5 people?

It should be. If you want a 6th I would play to make the teams even. If not then just carry on

IMO more people = better, so I'm for it.

Ooh, could you be on a team with me and LaLight? It would be nice to interact with you in a way in which we're not too busy accusing each other of being scum :-)

I'm okay with those teams.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

'And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." - Moroni 7:41, the Book of Mormon

I've only had the rules explained to me for two players on a side. Would I be right in guessing that if there are three per side, then there's one person who sees the coloured grid, and then two who guess stuff?

I guess so, this is the most obvious outtake.
So, we're waiting for Jack's word and we're ready to start! :)

So, my suggestion is: we'll start and if Jack comes he will join the team of mail-mi/RR. So, who wants to be a codemaster? I'd better guess.

So here's a grid I just generated using the spreadsheet. I'm sending the coloured version to Mail-mi in a PM -- is that how this is supposed to work?

Also, the question is: Do we guess one word at a time, or one full turn at a time with GKrieg?

Hmm.. maybe one word at a time is more inclusive? In which case we have a narrow playing window if you and gkrieg are currently 7 hours apart in terms of timezones, and 8 after (some of?) the US clocks also go back, which I think is this coming Sunday.

Cool, so my clue for you and Gkrieg is

Red: 3

Presumably if one of you wants to pass, the other can keep guessing till they decide to pass too?

I think this gives us an advantage. I suggest that I try to guess all the words from this clue, and if I pass the turn goes to reds. The next clue is GKrieg's and so on.

My first guess anyway is Ketchup

No problem! That's mail-mi turn now and our next guesser is GKrieg.
Also, a thing about rules: When you say {word}:n this means we actually have N+1 guesses. So in the previous case if the revolution was ours I might guess one more word.

This is good, because when Gkrieg is guessing, he might be able to get the other item from my "red" clue too :-)

If Mail-mi does a clue next, and RR starts guessing, that gives us more time for the mysterious 6th person to materialise.

Centuries later, archaeologists discover the remains of your ancient civilization.

Evidence of thriving towns, Pottery, roads, and a centralized government amaze the startled scientists.

Finally, they come upon a stone tablet, which contains but one mysterious phrase!

'ISOTROPIC WILL RETURN!'
