Prompt​

Words. We use them to communicate. We use them to make jokes with silly puns. We tell stories with them to inspire others, to express ourselves. We arrange them in many ways. Sometimes we use them to provide odd abstract prompts for a game jam on a thanksgiving weekend.

What are words? Do they mean the same to you as they do to me? What does it mean to understand - to stand under?

When​

Where​

Always Discord.

UPDATE

Congratulations to Azzy for winning!

What​

• Semantle Battle is a spin off of the original semantle game where two players pick secrets for one another to guess. The player who guesses the secret first wins.
• Play it with a friend here to prepare before the tournament.

When​

• Tournament will be hosted Saturday 11/5/2022 2:00 PM PST.
• RSVP in the Discord as soon as possible, we will cap the number of participants.

Where​

Always Discord.

How​

Entry is Free.

Tournament Structure​

• We will auto generate a random bracket with every player that RSVPs in the Discord.
• All games will be screen shared (each player will share their screen in two separate channels) to ensure no cheating.
• Each player starts out on their own and are their own team leader (i.e. each team will have 1 player at the first round).
• When a team wins, the two teams combine and the new team leader is the team leader of the winning team. Eventually the last Semantle Battle will be between two large teams.
• Only the team leader can type in guesses. Teams will not have access to the other teams voice chat/text channel.

Prizes​

• Team leader of last team standing gets the only ultimate tournament winner discord role.
• Players on the winning team will get a tournament winner discord role.

Rules​

• No Cheating of any form (you will be disqualified immediately, banned from the discord server, and the UrTurn platform - seriously don't ruin the fun of others).
• The winner is chosen based on the player in this order of priority:
  • player who guessed the word first
  • closest word index-wise (e.g. 99th word in nearest list is better than 70th word in nearest list)
  • closest word similarity score-wise
• Each game you have 30 seconds to provide your secret and 5 minutes to guess the other player's secret. At the end of the 5 minutes, a winner is chosen.

Prompt​

Every Great Journey has a beginning. In a few days, Urturn will embark on a new beginning, our first game jam, and we are so excited to see what y’all create. Making games has always been personal for me; it has exposed me to the amazing world of programming has given me freedoms and abilities that I never fathomed. I want to share those experiences with you. Therefore, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our very first Urturn Game Jam! - Kevin
