After turn 4:

TEAR	BLIZZARD	HELICOPTER	EAGLE
DOCTOR	MAKEUP	REVOLUTION	ANTHEM
BUNK	ZOMBIE	CAESAR	LAB
ROULETTE	HOTEL	SCARECROW	OLYMPUS

Turn 1
flying: 2

Turn 2
American: 3

Turn 3:
Guess: Eagle
Clue: War: 3

Turn 4
Guess: Revolution
Clue: Human: 3

Turn 4 was pre-challenged by scolapasta.

Scores:
silverspawn 12
EFHW 10
Galzria 10
(challenge results pending)

[infangthief]

To resolve the challenge, Galzria and silverspawn need to PM scolapasta with the words which silverspawn selected and rejected on turn 4. (They must not include either Eagle or Revolution.) Then scolapasta needs to report results here.

Turn 5 can be taken by anyone other than silverspawn, Galzria or scolapasta (i.e. EFHW or someone new).
If someone takes turn 5 before scolapasta reports the challenge results, then that player could gain or lose a point for their guess.

Do I specify which I think were selected and which were rejected, or do I just list two words? Do I confirm/deny the choice of Silver with ‘Revolution’, or ignore the guess entirely?

I could say:

I intended {X, Y, Z},
or
Rejected/Selected {A, B},
or
Word Rejected {Q}, Word Selected {R}

The bolded one.

And they don't necessarily have to be the two words you were thinking of when you gave your clue; you are allowed to update your thoughts in the light of silverspawn's guess and clue. Your aim should be to match silverspawn.

Also, don't say whether or not silverspawn's guess ("Revolution") is what you were expecting. That only comes to light if someone challenges your clue from turn 3.

[EFHW]

Turn 5
Guess: Caesar
Clue: Eye: 3

[silverspawn]

to clarify: I've sent scol the word that I intended to accept and reject with *my clue* of "Human". Was this correct?

[infangthief]

Yes, the words that you intended to accept and reject with "Human".
One word that you intended to accept.
One word that you intended to reject.
Labelled to say which is which.

[silverspawn]

very good, then I did everything correctly.

Interesting, I did not realize that they could change what they were thinking (in fact I was going to post asking about this and if glaz should've had to send me his before the next turn happened, but with this, then obviously not)... makes the idea of pre challenging more risky now...

[scolapasta]

OK, so I received both PMs. Do I know post what they sent, eg.

silver: Selected X, Rejected Y
Galz: Selected Z, Rejected W

or just whether they match or not.

Yes, post what they gave, so everyone knows the info that you do.

[scolapasta]

I assumed so, just wanted to confirm, thanks!

Galzria:
Word Selected: Doctor
Word Rejected: Bunk

silverspawn:
Selected Caesar
Rejected Helicopter

So the challenge was successful.


What would be useful now (for me, at least) is a recap of who can do what at this point.

[infangthief]

After turn 5:

TEAR	BLIZZARD	HELICOPTER	EAGLE
DOCTOR	MAKEUP	REVOLUTION	ANTHEM
BUNK	ZOMBIE	CAESAR	LAB
ROULETTE	HOTEL	SCARECROW	OLYMPUS

Turn 1
flying: 2

Turn 2
American: 3

Turn 3:
Guess: Eagle
Clue: War: 3

Turn 4
Guess: Revolution
Clue: Human: 3

Turn 4 was successfully pre-challenged by scolapasta.

Turn 5
Guess: Caesar
Clue: Eye: 3

Scores:
EFHW 11
silverspawn 10
Galzria 8
scolapasta 1

Turn 6 may be taken by anyone other than EFHW or silverspawn.

[EFHW]

Should I have an extra point for guessing scola's word correctly?

[scolapasta]

Turn 6
Guess: Doctor
Clue: Watery: 3

[infangthief]

Should I have an extra point for guessing scola's word correctly?

You would only have gained (or lost) a point for your guess if Galzria and silverspawn had been in agreement about which words were selected and rejected.

If the clue before your Guess is challenged and the clue-giver gains points:

+1 point if your Guess matches the Selected word, -1 point otherwise

I might reconsider this rule in future, but as it stands you wouldn't have got the point even if Galzria and silverspawn had both said Caesar was selected, if they had disagreed about the rejected word.

[EFHW]

Ok

[EFHW]

Who can go now?

[scolapasta]

I think anyone but you or me, ie anyone but the last two players. At least, that was the case after turn 3, right before I prechallenged.

[infangthief]

I think anyone but you or me, ie anyone but the last two players. At least, that was the case after turn 3, right before I prechallenged.

Correct. In general it is anyone but the last two players. And you can't have the turn either side of a turn you've challenged.

It seems quite a stretch to make this work with just 4. Kind of hoping some other codenames stars would show up. joth, Swowl, faust are you interested?
And I can join in if people are ok with that?

I can poke Swowl and make him join.

[infangthief]

I can poke Swowl and make him join.

Go for it.
And I'm going to go ahead and join.
