I'm not sure if there is anyone left around here that is interested in playing games, but if we can get 4 to 8 people (at least 6 would be ideal) then we can try our hand at Decrypto. I think this would be a great forum game. :yup: I will send out some PMs and try to round up some of the usual suspects.

Decrypto is a team game where one member of the team tries to get the other members of the team to guess a code based on three public clues. At the same time they don't want to give too much information to the opposing team who will get a chance to get the code right as well based on what they can guess about the other teams code words.

Here is a how to play video of the actual game.

The game will be played in two equal teams. Any preferences on how we pick teams? I can do it random, or you guys can pick somehow.

Thanks cep! :gday: I hope we can get at least two more.

Any other takers? :look:

OK, we will kick it off with six. :yup: It is a good number.

Here are the randomly determined teams.

Team A	Team B
slimshady	lisarea
ceptimus	Limoncello
Kael	erimir

:drudgesiren: FIRST order of business is for each team to choose a team name. (I don't want to call you Team A and Team B the whole time.)

In the spoiler are the basic rules of the game. I'm trying to keep them simple so all info may not be here. I will let know what you need to do at each step as we play.

I will send out team keys and post the encryptor order once we have team names! :eager:

You realise that when you ask us for team names, you're inviting us to come up with the most confusing names possible? So I suggest the following possibilities for Team A.

Team B
The other team
They also
One of the teams
No one
Everybody
Both teams

:mrt:

Alternatively, "Team elL" (simply, our initials)

I vote for They Also or No One.

You should of course adopt smilies as the team names.

Oh smilies would be a good idea. :) If you want you can pick a team smiley or name. I will send out the keys and the code to the first encryptors and we can kick things off with or without official names.

Here is the official score board.

	Team A						Team B
Round	Encryptor	Clues	Opp Guess	Team Guess	Code	Score	Encryptor	Clues	Opp Guess	Team Guess	Code	Score
1	Kael		XXX				erimir		XXX
2	slimshady						lisarea
3	ceptimus						Limoncello
4	Kael						erimir
5	slimshady						lisarea
6	ceptimus						Limoncello
7	Kael						erimir
8	slimshady						lisarea

Kael and erimir will be our first encryptors. I will send them round 1 codes and then they should each devise three clues for the code based on their team's key.

Then PM the clues to me.

smilies are good :hellyes:

lisapea & eirmir - what smilie do you want for our team?

I think we should be called something long and lurid, so Cmurb has to type it out a lot. Like "Mother May I Sleep with Danger" or "Lambada: The Forbidden Dance." Or the complete text of Milton's sonnet "I did but prompt the age" because there is no rule against it.

If we want to go with a smiley, the only ones I know how to work are :leafguy: :welcome3: and :lolstossel:

the obnoxious :welcome3: :nod:

I'm sure erimir will be on board with that.
