Elaborations

• We might end up ahead of schedule if teams finish early, especially during the first couple of rounds. This is optimal given that I’m moving in and going back to college during the planned times for Final Round.

• I’m open to extending the time limit during the final two rounds depending on how those go.

• Results will be posted once we have them ready. This may happen sooner than :30 depending on how many teams finish early.

• You technically have less than 24 hours for the Revival Selection, but that’s kinda because of timing. Me me no want to have rounds drift past midnight.

Final Notes

• For the Revival Selection, submit an ordered list of players you want to accept to your team in case your top picks get snatched up by another team.

• Two people GMing a Word Match is difficult work, so please bear with us if we take longer than expected to get back to you on your words.

• For as much as I will try and maintain consistency with previous rounds, there are specific calls that Marluna and I may call differently. Please do not use resolutions from previous Word Matches as a reason to press us to reconsider.

• If you have any questions or concerns, please let me or @Marluna know.

I’m gonna start sending stuff out now. Round 1 might start earlier than expected because me me impatient and because me me need to do internship applications. Wee.

Have fun, everyone! Good luck!

[Ash]

All channels are out. Marluna and I are sending words out now.
As a reminder, Round 1 will end either when all teams have finished or on 2024-08-17T01:00:00Z.

[Ash]

All words are out. Once again, good luck to all teams.

[Bionic]

bad luck to all teams

[Bionic]

it will be funnier if we all suck

[May]

This is your fucking fault

[May]

[Zugzwang]

nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I have made. questionable choices

[May]

Hey guys did you know Zugzwang is a nerd? Hey guys did you know tha tZugzwang is a nerd? Have you guys heard of the fact that Zugzwang, of Zugzwang fame, is a nerd?

[May]

Technically our role PMs are for Maybot and Zugbot so it’s actually their fault

[Ash]

I should’ve given May Zugbot and Zug Maybot.

[May]

I think Zugzwang should actually be thinking about robots SUBSTANTIALLY LESS than he currently is

[May]

You aren’t allowed to like this until you’ve seen the round results

[May]

Word Match Fact: The larger your vocabulary, the more possible things there are to say in a game of Word Match, and the more difficult it is to land on the same word as your opponent. The optimal Word Match team is two babies who both only know how to say “mama”.

[May]

Did I say opponent. I meant teammate. Sorry. I’ve been getting in a certain mindset. For certain reasons

[benguinedparbecue]

the word “opponent” implies adversarial combat. which is why i would like to declare my word match results a success-

[Ash]

You should’ve joined Word Match.
