Germany has States. France has Regions and Arrondisement
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

Wait. I'm being an idiot. BORDER is the clue, not STATE. Never mind.

Definitely OK with FENCE > STATE, but agree we should give Galaxis some time to check in first.

It sounds like we're all agreed on that one, at least. We can keep discussing other options, but for now

If we're not sure about {GERMANY, FRANCE, MEXICO} I'd be ok with passing after trying STATE. So I'm feeling STATE > PASS > MEXICO right now.

The only other thing I could think of with a border on the board is CLOAK, but I think that's more trim than a border? Not sure.

Yeah, I don't think I'd describe a cloak's edge as a border. Fringe, maybe?

Every other non-geopolitical connection I can think of is way too weak to hazard a guess on. cardSTOCK could have a border? Weak.
Could see businesses next to a border, like BANKs and HOTELs? Weak.
HEART and Borders are both things a nation has? Very weak.

(Also a heads-up that I'll be out of town from the 25th-28th, so don't wait up for me if our turn comes up again)

I think STATE has to be one at this point, tbh.

Yeah, STATE is a very logical choice here. I'm just not seeing anything beyond that other than the countries.

So. Our opponents have a 5-clue on the board, with 1/5 ID'd. We have 5 left; they have 8. At this point I think it's pretty much pick-a-country?

Does Nancy give a BORDER clue if a) the third word is a country and b) neither of the other two countries are worse than neutral? If the answer to both is yes, we should guess. Otherwise, we should probably pass.

I think we should go Mexico because it's also associated with the border wall and the whole palaver with Trump

That's my current line of thinking. I don't think any of GERMANY / MEXICO / FRANCE are missed as possible / reasonable BORDER hits, so I'm thinking it pretty likely none of them are worse than neutral from our POV. So I think it's probably safe to guess MEXICO.
