While "All that glitters isn't gold" is a common saying. So yeah, GOLD pretty much has to be it.

Glittery pants are a thing, but this is a 1-clue. The simplest, most obvious connection is the one to go with - and there are plenty of ways of cluing PANTS without ambiguity. Clothing - 1, for example. Denim - 1 is even better.

Some of the most obvious GOLD connections could possibly connect strongly to PIRATE, so I think "Glitter" was chosen specifically to avoid making any connections like that.

Game 45 - Codenames Duet!

I'll sort out a full rules later but here's a summary so that people can discuss signing up.

The next game will be a special game in which everyone will play in pairs, you will be working together as a pair to find 15 agents on the board.

I'm gonna allow people to pick their own pairs if they wish and then I'll randomise the remaining players to pair up

Each pair will play on the exact same board with the same words and you'll be competing against the other pairs to who can get all 15 agents in the fewest clues with the fewest mistakes

Omg, I was right about Pirate. We shouldn’t have rushed trunk.

GG blue, very well done.

Sorry, my intuition was completely off this whole time! But with dog as the assassin, I'm glad we didn't go that direction with Woodstock...

/in duet

not sure i get how that works (would it be played in private topics if everyone is guessing the same words?), but it sounds fun
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

I nixed that after CM1 updated the scoreboard because we still had two steel clues left but Pirate fit with both steel and Woodstock. I thought it might have been whip as well.
