A pony's cutie mark is incredibly special. That symbol on a pony's flank represents their talent and the quintessential thing that makes them special. Some are super easy - Princess Luna has a moon, Applejack has apples, Mrs. Cake has a cupcake. Other cutie marks are a little more mysterious to figure out.
That's where the Cutie Mark Crusaders come in.
Today you are all going to be deputized into the Cutie Mark Crusaders and will be helping some ponies discover their cutie marks. First off, each tribe must select a leader. A 5x4 grid of 20 pictures will then be posted in this thread. The two leaders will be secretly told which cutie marks belong to their team. They will then take turns giving clues to help their tribe identify their cutie marks. The team that goes first will have 8 cutie marks to find, the team that goes second will have 7 cutie marks to find, and there will be 4 neutral cutie marks. Finally, one cutie mark is actually a trap; if a tribe selects that cutie mark by mistake then that tribe will lose that match automatically.
Clues will take the form of a SINGLE word followed by a number. The word should describe a picture or multiple pictures, and the number should indicate how many words that clue applies to. Unlike traditional Codenames, here there are no restrictions about the word other than it must be non-hyphenated; if one of your cutie marks is a picture of a hat you are perfectly free to say "HAT 1".
Once a clue has been given, the other tribe members will guess words one at a time in this thread. Please bold this guess to make it official. They may guess up to a maximum of one more cutie mark than the number stated by the leader, so if you have a leftover clue you didn't get all of during a previous round, you may make another guess. If the number given by the leader is 0 or Unlimited, then the tribe can guess as many times as they want as long as they keep correctly guessing cutie marks.
Once they guess a word, a moderator will reveal the color of that word. If the word is the color of the tribe, the tribe may continue guessing words (up to the 1+number given in the clue). If the color of the word is either White, or the other team's color, the turn immediately ends and the other team takes a turn.
If the color is yellow, then the round is automatically over and the other tribe wins the point.
We will be playing best-of-five rounds, with different boards every time. Between rounds you may switch team leaders, and the tribe that loses each round may select if they wish to move first or second in the next round. The first tribe to win three matches will win immunity, sending the other tribe to Tribal Council.
This is a LIVE challenge. We will start whenever both tribes agree we are cool to start, and then tribes will have FIVE MINUTES to give a clue, and then FIVE MINUTES for the other players to give their guesses before control switches to the other team.
Crystal Empire, you have been randomly selected to move first. everypony select their leaders, and then we'll get this show on the road.
With the exception of talk about picking/swapping leaders, all discussion about this challenge must take place in this thread.
