Use this thread to discuss the order you'll be giving clues and what clues you'll give.
Your team's words are: (1) Shark (2) Mail (3) Game (4) Bread
Your codes are: Round 1: 2-4-1 Round 2: 4-2-3 Round 3: 1-2-3 Round 4: 4-1-3

I can probably do Round 2.
Any clues for the words in mind? They don't have to be a single word, but there shouldn't be an obvious link between the clues given for the same word.

Shark should be anything to do with the ocean, since the other three don't have anything to do with it.
For mail we can first do male and then keep circling around man.
For game we could do like meat game, deer ducks moose stuff like that? Not sure if our team will get that though. Otherwise I'd think maybe do different consoles?
And bread can easily just be cooked dishes. If we're doing meat game than not meat food, so we don't confuse anyone.
I've never played this before so I think I'm understanding this correctly?

Eh, I don't think that circling around man is a good strategy, we need the clues to be obtuse enough that our opponents can't guess what words they're likely connected to, basically the sooner you guess the theme between them the better, after all they need to just get the code right, not the words. As such something like Hammer, would probably work well for shark, as hammer heads are very common but the first thing they'd link it to is tools, then we'd be safe to go for an ocean related word and then something like maybe Bruce, like the shark from finding Nemo, but that may be too obvious.
Also ftr, having a clue related to "male" rather than mail is a bit clever if we aren't too overt about it. Also as it's decrypto we can make our clues longer things like statements iirc. In which case we can likely use exerpts of phrases or movie lines to help people out.
As for game one hint that may catch them off guard is Triple H, he's a pro wrestler known as the Game, but since it's on an individual basis I wouldn't expect many people to know that.
Also we should lead with the more obtuse clues we've thought up as the more confused the other team is, the better off we are.

Other ideas, relating to trees since they make paper to get people to know it's mail.

Possibly Idea for shark give "dun dun dun dun" very clear reference to jaws if you know it, but that can be a reference to many things from an outside perspective, like bethoven.

Sorry I've been quite busy, but should be around for a bit now
Something that's very important to keep in mind with this game is that the easiest way to work out opponents code is to work out what their words are
Keep in mind that as each round goes past, they'll know more and more about our words,
If on the first 2 clues for shark we say the words Water and then Teeth, the opponents will then start to try to work out, okay what word would be associated with both of these words and let's be real, there's not so much that links both Water and Teeth?

Yeah, I like that idea. (Edited to add: That was directed at Buzzy, but Zach and Cody have a good point.)
Probable clues from me (doing it for all four in case you want to stick me somewhere other than Round 2, but since there's one round each we don't give a clue for a specific word I'm also up for not giving whatever you guys think is the worst idea): 1. Dun dun dun dun 2. Flag 3. Card 4. Daily
Those who pray at dinner or are familiar with Psalms 23 should get my #4. In any event, I don't see myself available a lot tonight, so I'd like to submit my official clues as soon as I can and let those of you with more time discuss what the clues for the other three rounds should be.

I don't like dun dun dun dun as a clue for shark....I feel like it'll be way too obvious
As for order and stuff, I think it's worth noting that chances are, players who go first and second are more likely to get more money
I know that my team did really well in the first cash grab and in the second we only had 1 person press the button so I wasn't hit too hard by it, so therefore I'm happy to go in either 3rd or 4th position for this round

I advise heavily again Daily, most people will assume Daily Mail like the news organization over Daily Bread which I'm pretty sure is a biblical reference. Something like Rise is probably better for bread as it's part of cooking it. Also how does flag mean mail, you mean like the little thing you put up to make sure it's out?

What about Tale for shark? Or is that too obvious? Could also say will smith

Post by Zack and Cody on Aug 25, 2019 18:16:32 GMT -5
I like Tale for Shark
Keep in mind we need 3 words per codeword
I got a good set of clues: Triangle, Rectangle, Cube If you guys can work out what code that is then I think that's a good code to be used

Uh...I would have guessed that's a 1-2-4
Triangle for shark teeth Rectangle for mail shape Cube for a loaf of bread but we have no codes for that so....

Yeah, let's not use Daily for #4 since it's a potential miscommunication.
Busy again, but I think I can make it one more time before deadline.

Nick
Do round 2 and go for:
4: Rise (Bread) 2: Flag (Mail) 3: Card (Game)
|

Post by Zack and Cody on Aug 25, 2019 18:49:25 GMT -5
If I do round 3 with Triangle, Rectangle and Cube
I feel like our opponents will try to link Flag with Triangle and Rectangle with Card
Depending on what our clues are for round 1 it should have them fooled

Hmmm can we alter the cube one...I'm unsure of whether they'll mix it up, though I understand how game cube would work out. Assuming I go first I'd have Mail - Bread - Shark
Is Rain - Basket - Tale too obvious?

Given that Yzma picked (and paid for) the team, I think it's only fair that she gets to have the 1st slot as that's where the most money will be made as the other team won't have any form of information

I mean that's fair, but like...I don't have that much money either, remember my team finished last in the first cash grab and I payed up on the last elim challenge, so like can I not be last?

Nick Do round 2 and go for: 4: Rise (Bread) 2: Flag (Mail) 3: Card (Game) Will do. Submit the clues Rise-Flag-Card for Round 2 (4-2-3)

Sorry been busy, I'm back for a bit now
Depends on how Yzma feels about it, but if you want you're welcome to have my clues and I'll take slot 4

Shark | Mail | Game | Bread | ? | ? | - | ? | - | Flag | Card | Rise | Triangle | Rectangle | Cube | - | ? | - | ? | ? |
Here's what we've got so far I'd suggest Round 1 Mail=Man (Has nothing to do with Flag or Rectangle and I'd say it'd be hard to get the word Mail from those 3 put together) Just had a thought that the word Tale could be related to Game so I don't think we should use that one, however we could use the word Tide, the water element should get everyone looking at the word Shark but on the next round opposing players would probably put Tide and Rise together

I mean yeah, once Yzma is online we'll see. Do you mind if I change the cube clue to something else, if I messed that up then someone else might, though the more I think about it, the more game makes sense with cube, since dice are cubes.

How does Game link to Tale, oh ... nvm undertale, gotcha. Yeah I like the idea of tide working with it to be honest.

Post by Zack and Cody on Aug 25, 2019 21:50:43 GMT -5
More so Tale means Story, some players might think of Game when they think of Stories
I'm happy to change Cube to something else though, I agree that it can get confused

Shark Mail Game Bread Tide Man - ? - Flag Card Rise Triangle Rectangle Cube - ? - ? ?
How about for Bread we use Break for the first one?
