Teams will rotate in the order presented, meaning Yashima will be our first encryptor for Team A, while mr.ister will lead off for Team 1.
Gameplay will follow the structure per the attached image below, included for any spectators. Any and all deliberation made by the intercepting team will be handled publicly. In order to protect against any accidental gaffes, teams will decipher their own codes in private.
Our first words have been selected and will be sent via PM. Because the first round does not include an interception, we will handle it publicly to help set the stage.
Fire your engines!
[EDIT] Note that I will be moderator/host ONLY for the game. I have attached myself to each team’s group PM to keep everyone on the straight-and-narrow.
Yep. And that’s a good reminder that I forgot to send Yashima her code.
I’ll send yours too.
[EDIT] Just to clarify for everyone, this first round will be the ONLY round where teams deliberate publicly on their own clues. This is mainly to avoid an awkward start in the thread for any spectators. From round 2 onward, we will be attempting to intercept publicly, but teams will be allowed to discuss the solutions to their own codes in private.
This is in an attempt to simulate the kind of tertiary information players can glean from the opposing side’s chatter IRL, while protecting any devastating reveals for the current encryptor’s team given the written format.
You can discuss however you think is best but definitely use the numbers to refer to your thoughts as you have been. This is why I want this part of the guessing to be within PM (hereafter): you can more freely discuss your thoughts with respect to your words rather than the code.
Seems we have consensus. With a drumroll, @Yashima please reveal your code (Team 1 be sure to mark these guesses and their corresponding numbers down! [EDIT] You too, Team A).
