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?

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

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.

This feels righter than 85 to me.

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.

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?
Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2021 7:37 am
by 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).
Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2021 7:38 am
by 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)
Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2021 7:43 am
by 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.
Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2021 8:11 am
by 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.

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.

here's the card for
eight and a xalxe
:
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.

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