/in for next

I would also like to exercise my right to be a field operative, if that's okay with my fellow red teammates.

For the extra rules, I vote no on the compound word and proper name expansions, yes on the acronyms and abbreviations, homonyms, and rhymes.

Flicker · Post Post #248 (isolation #2) » Sat Nov 10, 2018 9:34 am

Yeah, agreed. You want to just guess them both in that order?

Flicker · Post Post #250 (isolation #3) » Sat Nov 10, 2018 9:57 am

Guess: Plane

I think it has to be formatted like this.

Flicker · Post Post #254 (isolation #4) » Sun Nov 11, 2018 3:34 am

I think we should probably just pass now.

Flicker · Post Post #273 (isolation #5) » Thu Nov 15, 2018 4:40 pm

Novel and... (book) club? Or maybe light, like a reading light?

Flicker · Post Post #279 (isolation #6) » Fri Nov 16, 2018 11:27 am

That's my inclination, but maybe we should wait and give Adorabebs a chance to weigh in this time?

Flicker · Post Post #282 (isolation #7) » Fri Nov 16, 2018 3:06 pm

8, I think. The blue team started, so they have 9.

Flicker · Post Post #287 (isolation #8) » Sat Nov 17, 2018 10:46 am

No problem. Good to see you around.

Pass

(Just in case...)

Flicker · Post Post #296 (isolation #9) » Tue Nov 20, 2018 11:28 am

Could we get some prods for the blue team, please and thank you?

Flicker · Post Post #302 (isolation #10) » Wed Nov 21, 2018 6:59 am

There's no way this isn't ice, right? Feel free to just guess ice, James or Adorabebs.

Flicker · Post Post #307 (isolation #11) » Wed Nov 21, 2018 12:16 pm

Yeah, let's pass.

Flicker · Post Post #354 (isolation #12) » Mon Dec 03, 2018 9:03 am

I see absolutely no reason not to, so...

Guess: Bug

Flicker · Post Post #358 (isolation #13) » Mon Dec 03, 2018 10:04 am

I'll sit out the upcoming round to let others play, but can I pre-in for the game after that?

OK

Thanks!

Thanks also for running this game. It's really fun, and I probably wouldn't have heard about or played it otherwise.

/confirm pre-in

Flicker · Post Post #502 (isolation #16) » Thu Dec 27, 2018 4:01 pm

I'm fine with the rules from Games 2 and 3. I'm also fine with whoever as the spymaster - I'm the only one of us on blue who hasn't been spymaster, so I'm interested, but I'm not gunning for it, if that makes sense.

Flicker · Post Post #522 (isolation #17) » Wed Jan 02, 2019 10:09 am

Mammal 2

Flicker · Post Post #525 (isolation #18) » Wed Jan 02, 2019 11:55 am

Correct!

Flicker · Post Post #544 (isolation #19) » Tue Jan 08, 2019 8:14 am

Oxygen 2

Flicker · Post Post #548 (isolation #20) » Tue Jan 08, 2019 5:30 pm

Correct!

Flicker · Post Post #565 (isolation #21) » Sun Jan 13, 2019 3:03 am

Spanish 1

Flicker · Post Post #576 (isolation #22) » Mon Jan 14, 2019 6:51 am

Money 1

Flicker · Post Post #582 (isolation #23) » Wed Jan 16, 2019 8:35 am

Correct!

Flicker · Post Post #601 (isolation #24) » Mon Jan 21, 2019 6:18 am

Good game, y'all!

In hindsight, trying to link Air and Life was too much of a challenge on this board (and possibly any board, period). But, I'm happy we still got so close to a win.

/in for the next round, as long as I don't have to be spymaster.

Flicker · Post Post #618 (isolation #25) » Fri Jan 25, 2019 9:04 am

Yeah, xofelf for spymaster! And same rules as before, let's make them the default.

Flicker · Post Post #668 (isolation #26) » Fri Feb 01, 2019 3:11 am

Agreed. I'd start with leprechaun, then do crown.

Flicker · Post Post #671 (isolation #27) » Fri Feb 01, 2019 4:44 pm

Golden Knights. Do you want to guess that instead?

Flicker · Post Post #678 (isolation #28) » Sat Feb 02, 2019 4:27 pm

I hadn't considered that. Still, I think I agree with Felissan; Gold --> Crown feels like a more direct path than Gold --> (Vegas Golden) Knight(s).

Flicker · Post Post #698 (isolation #29) » Tue Feb 05, 2019 12:34 pm

I agree with suit, and stock would be my second guess. Green is the other team's word already (along with ivory), and I think genius is a stretch. I could also see some connection to Toyko through its stock exchange, but that also feels like a stretch.

We also have the other gold item to consider. Looking at the board again, mine not only immediately jumps out at me, it's calling me a dummy for overlooking it. I almost want to guess mine first, then go for this clue, because it feels like such an obvious answer now. Sorry, xofelf, for not seeing that before...

Flicker · Post Post #703 (isolation #30) » Thu Feb 07, 2019 4:11 am

So, what do you think about guessing mine, suit, and stock in that order?

Flicker · Post Post #711 (isolation #31) » Fri Feb 08, 2019 1:57 pm

I still lean towards guessing suit first.

Flicker · Post Post #718 (isolation #32) » Sat Feb 09, 2019 4:37 am

We automatically pass; we can only guess one more word than the number the spymaster gives us.

Flicker · Post Post #737 (isolation #33) » Tue Feb 12, 2019 11:58 am

Needle and spike are the words that jump out at me here.

Flicker · Post Post #741 (isolation #34) » Tue Feb 12, 2019 2:43 pm

I thought about "sharp drop," but it seems like more of a reach than the other answers. And I could see Note relating to sharp, but Opera feels like a super-reach.

Spike first is fine by me.

Flicker · Post Post #750 (isolation #35) » Thu Feb 14, 2019 3:09 am

Thirded.

Needle

Flicker · Post Post #1207 (isolation #36) » Mon Apr 08, 2019 1:37 pm

/in as field operative

Flicker · Post Post #1224 (isolation #37) » Thu Apr 11, 2019 3:39 am

I'm good with whoever, and I like the rules as they are.

I was thinking band, center, then either Hollywood or round (like a theatre in the round).

Flicker · Post Post #1252 (isolation #40) » Sat Apr 13, 2019 2:00 am

Plot could work, too.

Flicker · Post Post #1255 (isolation #41) » Sat Apr 13, 2019 4:13 pm

Should we just guess band and discuss more from there?

Flicker · Post Post #1260 (isolation #42) » Sun Apr 14, 2019 8:32 am

I agree with center, but I don't understand draft at all.

Flicker · Post Post #1262 (isolation #43) » Sun Apr 14, 2019 8:45 am

Okay, I'm going for it, then.

Center

Flicker · Post Post #1269 (isolation #44) » Sun Apr 14, 2019 3:00 pm

I agree with Felissan, microscope seems like a big stretch. I still think it's probably Hollywood or round.

Flicker · Thu Apr 18, 2019 11:31 am

I was actually thinking it

could

be circle and round, because cake avoids answers that the more obvious "shape" clue wouldn't (like pyramid or pipe). I agree that maple could work. Maybe water, too, given it's an ingredient in cake batter, but that seems like a stretch.

I don't understand how cake relates to pyramid; could you elaborate on that?

Flicker · Post Post #1299 (isolation #46) » Fri Apr 19, 2019 2:20 am

If you two feel good about pyramid, go for it.

Flicker · Post Post #1301 (isolation #47) » Fri Apr 19, 2019 2:56 am

Yeah, that works, too.
