[Menalque]

i would feel very good about guessing revolution here

Answers are recommended to be from most to least confident. Once I get to a wrong answer, I stop processing.

For right now Datisi and Menalque are getting public warnings not to look up things on Google, and I am going to edit the rules to make that prohibition explicit.

Revolution, probably also racket? I'm gonna have to stare at the board some more.

RIOT 4

Getting this on the same page.

Wow it took me this long to figure out why you were considering racket. Noise connotation makes sense, I think that's likely one of them

Club is a possibility either from being a weapon or from the noise/"riot girl" angle?

[Formerfish]

People get beat with clubs during riots.

Agree with revolution.

Rome maybe for when it burned? Could be a double clue from the Bond thing too.

Racket doesn't seem like a bad 4th.

Revolution>club>racket> rome is my confidence

[KittyMo]

I mean, even if it isn't Rome proper I think that's promising.

Though that's partly a question of how familiar with the movie he expects us to be. Did he know you knew of it from the LSG thing?

Bumping this question to xof

[xofelf]

Oh, no I don't think so, Haschel has just talked Bond movies at me before, likely assuming I'd seen most of them, which is... incorrect.

I think starting with Revolution is good. Club I don't know so much. Also, double clues are not usually Haschel's thing if he can avoid it.

[KittyMo]

I think revolution > club/racket > ??? specifically for riot clue confidence

Riot is also a game company but there aren't any references that are jumping out at me related to that

A row can be an argument which if I reach relates to the conflict aspect of riots???

Rome is maybe more likely for Moonraker if anything? Sorry I'm kinda useless w/r/t that clue

[Formerfish]

I feel good about club

[xofelf]

You sure? Just concerned cuz it ended up on the other group's list and I recall Haschel's tendency not to give clues about words that the other team is considering that belong to us so that they'll hopefully accidentally hit it and he doesn't have to include that word in his clues.

[Formerfish]

I don't think steel clubs are things.

[Formerfish]

Ohhh I see what you're saying, like he wants them to pick it for us?

I don't see them picking steel club because I don't even know what that would.be.

[xofelf]

True enough, just sayin it's a thing sometimes. Which I didn't exactly wanna point out, but here we are.

I feel really good about racket, you could be right about club but I just dunno.

Sorry, I didn't really notice them talking about club initially tbh since it seemed like they were focused more on other stuff for pages.

If we assume club is either theirs or Haschel presumed they may guess it, we have 3 more riot words. I think we've all discussed that racket makes at least some sense. As I've said, my next best guess is row. Do we want to talk about other possibilities more?

[xofelf]

Oh, row as in fight. Hmmm.. that's actually not terrible.

[StrangerCoug]

You're super close to a prod, red team. Only (expired on 2019-12-02 10:01:59).
