okay, going swimming on a hot day sounds very right to me, and seeing a friend for the first time in 14 months also sounds very right to me. I can see subtracting 5-10 points because it's "good" friend and not "best" friend. any objections with 90?

[Menalque]

Yes, I think we should go 95 bc I think this is super high

Swimming in cold water after hot weather is already p priceless, add on the friend bit (best or otherwise) and you’re maxing, add on the “after 14 months due to lockdown” I think you’re right at the top of the scale

Might not be true 100 but I think only just under if anything

I think we should go 96 for max reach, I think 90 is too low given the “14 month” specificity

[Farren]

Disagree.

I'm getting together with a friend that I haven't seen since COVID started. That's happening tomorrow, and we're doing my favorite leisure activity. I'm not ranking that at a 96+. Throw in A/C in the middle of the record-breaking temperatures we had back in June and I still wouldn't rate it a 96+.

I'd save 96 for something more ... momentous. Like, "loved one goes into remission". That's the sort of thing I'd expect to see for a top-of-the-scale clue.

90 is the highest I can see this being, and I think even then I'm aiming too high.

Going swimming on a hot summer day with a good friend for the first time in 14 months, because corona-restrictions prevented it for so long

0 represents “worthless” and 100 represents “priceless". please place your guess according to whether you think "

Going swimming on a hot summer day with a good friend for the first time in 14 months, because corona-restrictions prevented it for so long

" is closer to 0 or closer to 100 than 85.

[Xalxe]

This feels righter than 85 to me.

[gelsomina]

i am feeling right; have more words if necessary due to anyone disagreeing, but otherwise, right yeah

[northsidegal]

yeah, i'd support right.

[GuiltyLion]

I am also thinking right, I'll wait for Sirius to check in before locking it in

GuiltyLion is up next to be the psychic, but i'm currently unable to send him a card. this is definitely not due to me being a bad, unprepared moderator. i'll get around to it in a few hours (at worst), so until i do that, everyone may post.

[GuiltyLion]

just out of curiosity, how are you deciding what the categories are for each turn? do you have a physical copy of the game you're pulling from IRL or is there a list/site somewhere?

[Datisi]

as i don't have a physical copy, they are mostly made up by me as we go (some might, intentionally or unintentionally, be stolen from lilith's run).

[lilith2013]

I have a physical copy but the cards are pretty wacky. I made my own up as well (or I should say, only used made-up ones)

[Datisi]

there is an online version of the game that george and i play sometimes (longwave), but some of those cards are... "tick - tock", "underrated letter of the alphabet - overrated letter of the alphabet", so i just decided to do made-up ones.

[GuiltyLion]

gotcha, cool cool! I have a physical copy as well and a personal soft spot for the wacky ones, they can lead to some hilarious debates, but they're not always great for more srs gameplay so I can vibe with the quality control choice of making our own.

[Datisi]

sending a card to GuiltyLion, he may not post until the clue round is over.

as a note, if we end up playing more (i don't mind running more if there's interest), i wouldn't have a problem with having some more Wacky cards that i

copy

get inspiration from longwave. up to the players.

[gelsomina]

is this the last round for each team?

[Datisi]

unless someone else joins the game in the meantime, yes.

[Datisi]

here's the card for

eight and a xalxe

:

silent

loud

and the clue that your psychic, GuiltyLion, provided is:

revving a vespa engine

your team has (expired on 2021-07-31 03:15:00) to guess where the target is. it’s now up to you to discuss and determine where is on the spectrum from 0 to 100. 0 represents “silent” and 100 represents “loud".

Sirius9121

is your team’s current representative. remember to provide your final answer in this format:

guess: x

where x is between 0 and 100.

[Xalxe]

Vespas are those little motor scooters right? so probably loud (because revving) but not *that* loud. 60s-ish?
