Art Dixit: A Game of N00bs (Game Thread)

Our first game of Dixit! :cheer:

Here is our starting scoreboard. The players positions have been randomized, excepting that lisarea was not allowed to be first. (She knows what she did!) The asterisk indicates the round where that player will be the storyteller.

 LadySheaDemimondelisareaKaelCeptimusSock Puppet
Round 1*     
Round 2 *    
Round 3  *   
Round 4   *  
Round 5    * 
Round 6     *
Total000000

LadyShea will be our first Storyteller! :D

Here is how the game is scored:
• Storyteller gets 3 points if at least one person, but not all people correctly pick their card.
• If no one selects the correct card, or if everyone selects the correct card: the storyteller gets 0, and all other players get 2.
• For all other players they get 1 point for anyone who chooses their card.
• All other players get 3 points if they selected the storyteller's card, unless everyone else did, too. In that case they only get 2.

I will be sending all players a PM containing your cards. Each card has a unique number so you can refer to the cards numbers in PM with me.

LadyShea: As soon as you get your cards, post your phrase and PM to me the number of the card you are playing this turn.

Everyone else will wait until LadyShea has posted her phrase, then they will PM one of their card numbers to me.

:popcorn:

I gave some people duplicate cards. :\ If you got a new set of cards in your PM please use those. Sorry for the trouble.

No you all have different cards. You want to pick one that best fits the phrase so as to trick the other players into thinking your card was the one that LadyShea played.

I think Sack is a loathsome cheater, so I pick card number 60 as an ineffectual and inchoate protest against his brutal reign.

I have to agree with pea and pick #60. No point supporting the guy who's already probably cheated his way into the lead. :offended:

Round 2 - Hospitality

Another split between two likely suspects. But is either card the right one this time?

Here is Demimonde's card:
