Codenames (Game 65 in progress)

[Nancy Drew 39]

We should definitely do concert first. That has to be right.

And then there was one.

Options here:
1) Pass. Opponents get one shot to guess five in a row and will be forced to attempt it; if they fail, our victory is as certain as anything ever gets in this game.
2) Gold. If correct, we win; if wrong, it's probably a red word. Presumably, they then get one shot to guess four in a row.
3) Concert. If correct, we win; if wrong ... who knows. Could be anything. Probably not the assassin, especially since CONCERT was a possible Streamer connection, but you never know.
4) Something else clever.

Spoiler:

Woodstock is a mass concert that took place in the 60s on a huge farm, so field is definitely another one.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Spoiler:

I definitely agree with not gold in case it’s blue.

I think concert - field - skyscraper.

Woodstock is also a bird in the Peanuts’ comic strip.

I also thought that steel could also possibly be a clue for “steal” which could also mean pirate

However, that’s probably weak, so concert - field - skyscraper - sink - trunk

Spymaster rule 4 says that flexible rules are not in play, so steel can't also be steal.

[Not_Mafia]

Concert is a gimmee, Woodstock could link to dog, as the bird in Snoopy is called woodstock

[Marashu]

at the very least,

CONCERT

Woodstock took place on a very large farm, so I think we should do field next.

[Marashu]

I'm more inclined to agree with field at this point, but I'm hesitant because if the last two unclued words were dog and concert I don't know what would be paired with them. But woodstock is the bird and not the dog, which is why I think it's a weak link.

[Not_Mafia]

I'd be tempted to go for Steel words first

[Marashu]

I'm ok with that. Skyscraper good for you N_M?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Woodstock is on a farm though, so I don’t see how it’s not field but I’m also okay with skyscraper first.

Peanuts’ has Snoopy who is Woodstock’s bff, so it’s actually not that weak.

Time is almost up. I think we should do skyscraper, field, dog.

Woodstock frequently wears an eyepatch, so pirate could definitely also be a word, so one more.

[Nancy Drew 39]

skyscraper

I hope this is right but I’m afraid we’re going to be out of time.

[Marashu]

I don't think doing both field and dog is a good idea - we only had 2 unclued words, so unless one of field or dog overlaps steel, I wouldn't want to use both.

[Marashu]

I just think it's weak compared to field because woodstock happened in a field, while woodstock was a bird, and had a friend who was a dog (extra layer of separation between the hint and the word). It could be either - I'm currently leaning field but I could be swayed away if there's something I'm missing.

Gold could be blue, because of Anniversary clue.

I don’t see how it’s not field. Woodstock is a huge farm.

[Not_Mafia]

I didn't think of Woodstock being a farm right away, my first thoughts were music festival and peanuts

I'd go

Sink
Field
Trunk

Have you never seen any video footage from Woodstock? People sit on blankets on the ground, it’s clearly not a stadium.

But I’m okay with this only because we have only 3 specific steel words.

Yeah it just wasn't the first thing that came to mind, but I'm not from North America, had it been Glastonbury I would instantly have thought of farm/field

Charles is from the US though. I think we’re probably safe with either but I think field absolutely has to be a Woodstock clue.

Spoiler:

Pirates use swords. Swords are made out of steel. Woodstock always wears an eyepatch, so pirate could also possibly be a steel clue.

[Nancy Drew 39]

God guys, we need not to come so close to deadline.

I think we should do field first. Any objections?
