We need one more for an 8P game, want to jump in head first?
[EDIT] How did we want to handle team assignment? Random?
Codenames has the great online implementation… that has helped.
I’ll join if there’s still room.

Alright, here’s our group:

My folks are heading out soon, so I’ll let you all palaver for a bit with respect to how you want to divide into teams. I’ll only suggest that we try to keep the newcomers split evenly for fairness. Any rules questions, fire away!
@Captbnut not thrilled with the security freakout my phone gave me with that .io link. Gonna just keep to forum play if that’s ok with everyone.

Sorry. It was fine when I used it last

Ooh, ouch. The SSL cert they present is for churchcal.gracechurchaz.org. I mean that’s almost certainly incompetence rather than malice, but…

These are the scoresheets for the game if you wanted to use them directly or otherwise as a guide for organizing clues.
I’ll be using the random code generator on the official website, and will use my own copy to generate our words.
When I overrode the security warnings, it appeared to be a church calendar….

Added to the OP.
Do feel free to field any questions. Also if we want me just to divvy up teams and get rolling, just say the word. Maybe we split by timezone?
Random or moderator’s fiat sounds best for teams.

I’ll let others chime in for a bit but otherwise I’ll get this set up this afternoon (14:25PST as I post).
Random teams works for me as well.
Try random, and if it leaves many newbies in one team, retry??
Going semi-random here, with the first timers drawn first, then the seasoned vets drawn second. Teams will be as follows:
Team "A"
@yashima
@mistercrayon
@Benkyo
@Captbnut
Team "1"
@mr.ister
@COMaestro
@RossM
@InkyBloc
Please do feel free to come up with team names. I’ll post the round’s words once you all provide me with a first player for your teams.

I feel like the order you posted here totally works.
Happy with that.
Not done this on pbf before. How do we discuss within our teams - on the thread, or by PM?
Publicly I believe, so the other team can ‘hear’ our chat?
I honestly can’t remember.
I think it’s more fun if we let the intercepting side deliberate publicly. Deliberating your own teams clues should probably be kept to PM just to avoid any accidental spoilers.

I’ll post a game thread and send off first words to the teams a little later today. Off for a morning walk.
