but yeah I can tell right now I wouldn't have fun playing codewords because people are terrible at words in general and you either have dumb dumbs who think lasers are shiny or dumb dumbs who give you a clue that references anime or some shit
when i was in the hot seat i said 'vote' because 2 of my words were 'card' and 'ruler'
they chose pole because they thought 'well maybe he thought pole was actually poll so he could be trying to say that'
literally always talking themselves into choosing worst answers instead of the easiest most obvious choices
This is the best part. Oh, the twisted web of lies we weave.

You can't be both rincewind AND vimes, Havelock. That shit may work with people that don't know discworld but you can GTFO right now with that. Pick one.
Alternative choices for characters that represent me:
Remy from Rataouille, Henry Spencer from Eraserhead, Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service, Lisa Simpson, Edward Scissorhands, Buster from Arrested Development, Amos from Chicago, Philip Seymour Hoffman in Boogie Nights, Steven Universe, Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks, Farmer Hoggett
also i'm in a fight with my roommates because we had game night and the played this game codenames and the codename was 'shiny' and we had to pick the 2 correct words that sounded the most like 'shiny' which i correctly pointed out were 'Robot' and 'Angel' but they decided to go with needle (da fuck) and laser (um) so we loss
i hate team games like that or mafia where the challenge for me isn't figuring out the answer, it's convincing everyone else not to make the wrong decision
Needles are made of metal and lasers are literally made of light. I would probably pick both over angel
yeah but if you had the word 'needle' you wouldn't think of 'shiny' you'd think pointy or prick or laundry or clothing or stitch.
like i said, you gotta look at the list abstractly and realize that if they had those words, they would have chosen something else to convey them besides shiny
If I'm ever a manager (hint: I won't be) I am definitely banning it. Whatever you do, no matter what, you will be disallowed from using "simple" as a way to describe it.
@spool32 and I won a round of werewolf by calling each other the werewolf the entire game
(we were the werewolves)
that was fking epic
Syndalis and I had a pretty amazing round as werewolves in the clocktower at PAX East, featuring Hakkekage desperately trying to get anyone to listen to her and failing utterly while each of us talked to a separate group so they never listened to each other...
There are few things in life better than watching the light of hope dim in Hakks eyes as you slowly gaslight her in a game
I only hope you werewolf motherfuckers one day doubt your own sanity as I, a modern day Cassandra, have suffered

We have a new guy who habitually underestimates how difficult things are.
I want to ban him personally from using the words "simple" or "easy."
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Characters that represent me right now: That old guy from "Up".

I mostly try to be pretty tolerant but the other day I saw this dude in line somewhere, and like immediately got that creeper vibe in my stomach, like hardcore.
So the day passed and the week passed and two weeks passed and then I was at the liquor store and I saw him walking out of it with another dude and they were both wearing furry-con shirts.

Yeah it's definitely Rincewind.
I meant Vimes pre Guards, Guards but fair enough.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe

i was pretty high last night when my team chose laser and made us lose and might have blown up saying something like 'maybe we should fucking listen to me talk for a fucking chance'
and then went downstairs and haven't seen or talked to anyone since so

Also it was like 2 in the morning, I was dying from exhaustion and the eternal suffering of having to deal with a bunch of dudes IGNORING ME EVEN THOUGH I WAS RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME

Also, Secret Hitler is fine and all, but my current social deduction game jam is "Don't Mess With Cthulhu". The things I like about it:
* Unlike many other social deduction games, there's no "everyone close their eyes" script necessary.
* The special powers are randomly revealed during play, and require no explanation ahead of time.
* There's no player elimination. If you are "outed" as a cultist, you can still participate and bluff. There's almost no penalty for having your identity outed... it simply just changes your tactics when you bluff.
Another social deduction game I'm enjoying is Werewolf: Inquisition, which also has no player elimination. It's a little more complicated to play, which may be a benefit for someone looking for a more meaty deduction game. It even has role-selection elements, like a lot of Euros.

You gotta make your clues for your team. I imagine it wouldn't be as fun with people who don't know each other well.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

People who dislike it generally dislike social games because they don't have a system mastery element to chew on
Because they are grognards stewing in their critical hit tables and armour penetration charts
not at all
I'm just better at words than most people and really can't see myself being happy with dead weight teammates
If you can't adjust your clues to the people you're playing with, then you're bad at the game!
Sometimes you do make bizarre discoveries, though; for "mouse" and "genius" I said "Algernon 2" and nobody at the table had read or even knew the plot of Flowers for Algernon

@Tarranon had us play two truths and a lie with @Organichu @visiblehowl @Irond Will @So It Goes and uhm i forget who else... shit.
it was so fun and we were laughing so much that the people next door came over not to scold us but holding a bottle of rum and asking to party with us
Hmmm. Never Kickstartered anything before but that sounds nice.
Holy fuckin shit this is *vomits*

Banning a word is simple if you're a manager.

Also I had fun playing the drawing one with chatters
No. He's suffered quite unjustly. I will die on this hill beside him.
Yeah the timing with vines is its own art because the audience internalizes that 6 second tempo unconsciously
Limitations are freedom

Hell, he don't even know what that means.
It must have something to do with the way that he fill out his skin tight blue jeans.
I don't feel the need to emulate president elect Trump
That was the best thing to play in the mall arcade. Better than Mortal Kombat 2, maybe 3.
i tried to be like 'ok lets each take 15 seconds to say what two answers we want to do, explain why and then we'll all vote'
they refused to do that as too complicated, so they continued to shout and ignore me and then choose the incorrect answer
