<Snail> Waiting a bit before I start explaining
<Snail> Alright so,
<Snail> <Snail> basically it's 1 vs everyone else,
<Snail> <Snail> Let's say I'm the 1
<Snail> I'll think of a word
<Snail> (say I'm thinking of "trout")
<Snail> and I'll reveal the first letter
<Snail> So out loud I'd announce that it's T
<Snail> Everyone else has to come up with words that start with T,
<Snail> Maybe theg will think of "toaster"
<Snail> So he'll announce publicly, "a machine that cooks bread"
<Snail> and if anyone else knows what he's talking about, they'll say
<Snail> "theg, contact"
<Snail> On three they both say what word they're thinking of in relation to the clue
<Snail> and if it's the same word, I have to reveal another letter
<Snail> So it'll be "tr"
<Snail> and now you can only use words that start with "tr"
<Sir> Erm
<Sir> Prepare for insanity
<Snail> One thing, I'm allowed to cut any clue off
<Zekka> That sounds good, but one detail
<Snail> So if theg says "a machine that cooks bread" I can say "it's not a toaster" and that kills it
<Zekka> We should message the word to the speaker when someone says 'contact'
<Snail> Game ends when you get the word or give up
<Zekka> that way nobody can cheat and say the same word someone else said in response to htem
<Snail> Message the word?
<Zekka>  /msg [speaker] toaster
<E> This sounds like a whole lot of ninja messaging
<Zekka> after theg announces his clue, in your example
<Zekka> So if you're the speaker who is thinking of 'trout', /msg Snail toaster
<Zekka> you announce publicly whether we got it right
<Snail> Wait, assuming I'm on theg's side?
<Zekka> How could you be on Theg's side?
<E> I guess he means he's not the 1
<Zekka> This game is one versus many, you're the one
<Snail> Oh, misinterpreted
<Snail> but then I can't cut the communication
<Zekka> That's true.
<E> Oh you're gonna mute the channel?
<Zekka> We can just assume that we're honest and won't cheat
<Snail> E, No, if theg says " a machine that cooks bread" I can say "it's not a toaster" and you can't contact each other
<Sir> ^
<Snail> We'd have to rely on honesty anyways
<Snail> Nothing stopping two people from messaging each other their clue words beforehand
* theg has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
<E> eurgh, I'm still confused as to the flow of things
<E> I guess I'll just sit and watch
<Snail> It's easier once you watch a round, yeah
* theg_ (Mibbit@bored-DF5D88AC.karoo.kcom.com) has joined #contact
<Snail> Should we try this?
* theg_ is now known as theg
<Zekka> Sure.
<theg> so what is contact exactly
<Snail> theg I hope you're kidding
<theg> i'm not
<E> lol
<Snail> gah
