| The two parties then come to a tug, with the namer and Guesser as leaders. |
| As each player gets his name, he or she turns their back to the namer. |
| He came to the profession from a background in devising cryptic crosswords and says it takes a particular type of person to make a good horse namer. |
| Foolie always obeys this call, comes and stations himself beside the namer. |
| He has gone, one might say, from explicator to gnostic namer, from the secular, discursive Horatian thinker-poet to a more compressed priest-like voice, intent on Mystery. |
| The leader or namer on one side and the guesser on the other take sides. |
