Sounds like all of us like WIND. Any objections to going with that one next?

[lilith2013]

Go for it.

All right, here's where we are so far. We've got three more to go. I'd forgotten we were the starting team, so passing isn't quite as good as I was thinking - but it's not a horrible strategy either. What do y'all think?

[lilith2013]

We can’t win this turn anyway, so I’d rather pass I think.

[HockeyFan]

yea im really not sure what last one is LOL. We can pass since they still have 6, so at minimum still 1 turn left

[Farren]

Sounds good to me.

Pass

Steel-3

[Nancy Drew 39]

Spoiler:

Alright, so clearly pie was was our last chocolate clue, so we should probably go with that one first. As for steel, the most obvious word for that I think would be part, so next guesses should definitely be pie, part.

Other words could be sink, trunk, maybe even gold? idk.

[Not_Mafia]

Sink and Gold are the ones that stand out to me, not sure on the last

part next?

[Not_Mafia]

Why part?

[Not_Mafia]

Oh wait I get it, like a machine part. Yeah I would go Part --> Sink --> Gold. But let's wait for Marashu

[Marashu]

I'm also looking at skyscraper (steel girders) over gold, but agree with Part first.

Part

[Marashu]

I like Sink, and I think I like Trunk more than Gold, but I don't know if I like Trunk more than Skyscraper.

Anniversary - 2

[lilith2013]

Spoiler:

anniversary is a day
the third drift word was probably slip, since bulge didn’t clue it and we said that was our third choice.
kind of stumped on the second anniversary word. maybe gold, like a wedding ring?

[Farren]

Spoiler:

Anniversaries are a special DAY.
GOLD is a traditional gift for a suitably impressive anniversary.
CONCERT is a way of celebrating an anniversary.

That's all I see. Probably DAY > CONCERT = GOLD as far as Anniversary goes, without considering leftovers for Drift.

[Farren]

Spoiler: Comparisons ...

Gold vs. Concert.

+ to Gold: The whole "traditional gift" thing - like, Paper is supposed to be the "traditional" gift for a first wedding anniversary. I don't remember any of the other positions, but I'm 100% sure that both silver and gold are on the list somewhere - maybe 25th / 50th at a guess? I think it even goes so far as to call the 50th anniversary the "Golden" anniversary for that reason.

- to Gold: it also matches with a Red Team clue - Steel and Gold are both metals. I'd put that connection as stronger than our connection, which makes me real hesitant to guess it for Anniversary.

+ to Concert: I think maybe anniversary concerts are a thing? Like, it's the 25th anniversary of <whatever> here; let's hold a concert to commemorate it? Not just wedding anniversaries, but for entertainment franchises and the like?

- to Concert: It was Streamer 3, not Streamer 5. (WIND was one of ours too, and that connected with Streamer. Granted, different definition of Streamer, so I can see that connection either being missed or thought of as too weak - but that wouldn't apply to Concert.
Concert was a solid connection.)

Right now, leaning CONCERT over GOLD, mostly due to #2. So DAY > CONCERT > GOLD for Anniversary clues. I would say we could hazard a guess on SLIP, but it should be at some point after DAY.

I'm good with day -> slip

day -> gold?
