Although I'd rather not be the captain.

I think being captain would be the best part. Even if you don't get to do much between clues.

I've been playing hypothetical captain for both sides through the game, asking myself what I'd play if I had to, and it's not easy.

It's not 'body' either.

Myp figured it out immediately

Indeed.

I definitely would want to move on to another round of same team new captains, but only if the blue team start working out how to hurry up their turns

Are the words completely random, or are they selected from a gurt big master list?

they are chosen to be relatively rich in double meanings and common associations.

2. Restricted Google/Wikipedia use for Players is impossible to enforce so there will be no official rules on this. That said, I would prefer that it only be used by spymasters to create clues and that spymasters not create clues that they think will require google use by their spies.
-Also, if you use google don't make it obvious. I don't want to see people saying that they have no idea to what that "apoptosis" clue is referring and then 10 minutes later giving a technical definition of it. It is annoying to watch an opponent spymaster use a bizarre term/reference about which very few people are familiar and then everyone on the team appears to be experts in that topic. At least try to pretend you are not using google.
3. If you are not sure if a clue is allowable then check with opposing spy master to get approval.
4. If you need a judgement on something and I haven't chimed in then GM me.
5. Please point at one word at a time and wait until finding out the result prior to pointing at another clue.

6. Any private GM discourse about the game between anyone other than the two spymasters should go through the GM and with GM approval prior to sending it.
7. Moderation of apparently invalid clue: The rules indicate that the offending spymaster should lose their turn and that their opponent will get to choose a free word of their own color to be revealed. The moderator reserves the right to enforce that rule or to use a less harsh version of that rule if it seems more appropriate. A less harsh version could involve only a word reveal or only a loss of turn or a word reveal chosen by the offending spymaster. This may be done to deal with a borderline case.

I am literally never running this game again. I see now it was a terrible mistake.

I could run one if there's appetite.

Just to see if Grim... explodes.

And are you going to ignore them once they're written down?

Why didn't you check with him first? You only have yourself to blame.

If that's how you've got to win, man.

In, and would also volunteer for El Capitan.

What's your ruling about multi-word proper noun clues, clues that need a Google, etc?

What does that mean?

If you had a word "Thumb", a valid clue would be, say, Hand. An invalid clue would be Slum, because the meaning of the word Thumb has nothing to do with the meaning of the word Slum - even though they rhyme.

Although Bum might cover both words were they to exist on the same grid. (Bodyparts and finding Bums in Slums)

Again, this only becomes an issue if Mr Opposing Spymaster raises a fuss and you can't justify to us why Thumb has anything to do with Slum.

Tbf, Dave has defined the rules he wants, those are the rules we play by.
