All right, let’s get this ****ing octuplicate taste out of my mouth.
Heading out for the day with the family. Will update this evening unless someone else wants to do it sooner.

Pretty sure I had a winning streak of 8 in a row before that last defeat.

Are there too many games for people's busy schedules? Do we need to reduce the number?
Or do we need to enforce some time limits on turns?
48 hours per turn seems more than reasonable. We could have a different colour (Green or something) for provisional guesses. If you run out of time your provisional guesses lock in. If thre are no provisional guesses then you skip your turn.
Same time limit for cluing with a turn skip for missing rhe 48 hour deadline.
Yeah, time limit. There's really only 1 or 2 people that consistently hold up the game and it shouldn't be taking a month to finish one round lol.
If anyone has any objections or better suggestions I'll give you the noght to make yourself heard. Otherwise we'll go with a 48 hour limit per turn with green provisional guesses that bold when time runs out.
Don't make your clue within 48 hrs then you miss your turn.
I like the 48 hour rule; the only caveat is that codenames forces you to make a guess so we shouldn't let people run out the clock to avoid a guess
so if nothing in green yet, then just bold top word on the board for them then auto-pass and let chips fall where they may

I'll get the match threads moving after dinner with the updated timing rules.
Rather than randomly bolding a word (which ranges from beneficial to the offending team to game ending) if a team doesn't guess then they're forced to use the same word to clue next time?
Rules regarding time of the game.
1. Max of 48 hours for spymasters to clue. If they don't then their turn is skipped.
2. Maximum of 48 hours for the guessing to happen. Provisional guesses can be made in green. Provisional guesses can be undone by a team by stating "undo Provisional guesses" or similar and can be replaced by new ones by bolding in green.
If time runs out for guessers then:
- Any Provisional guesses will become official guesses.
- If there are no Provisional guesses but a guess has already been made then the turn will be passed.
- If there are no Provisional guesses or guesses made whatsoever then the turn will end but the team's next turn will be a repeat of the previous clue.
Note, just because you have 48 hours, don't feel like you need to routinely take it. A game can still be very long and drawn out if the maximum time is taken each time.
Could we get a board for Match Thread B please.
Game A can start now and is on the clock.
Will do it now
A note: I'm going on vacation tomorrow evening, gone for about 2 weeks. I'll get on here as much as I can to keep games moving, but expect delays.

Note to Neil. Zurvan is on vacation so pretend it's just you guessing. If he chimes in then it's a bonus.
