Oof

[popsofctown]

I wanna be spymasterrrrrr

[Formerfish]

It's penwig right?

[popsofctown]

If you get the clue "Antarctica" and don't immediately guess forest I just can't help you smh

[Felissan]

Penguin

We pretty much all knew it from the moment we saw Tokyo was incorrect.

[Pine]

Woot

[Pine]

@pops - If you get the clue "Gawain" and don't immediately think of

Gawain and the Green Knight

> Forest I just can't help you smh

[popsofctown]

I don't know any historical info about Gawain. However, my weaboo Gawain card was white instead of green and it is also the centerpiece of my life right now

[Pine]

Gawain of the Round Table

Textbook example of cultural reuse. Gawain as a character is well over 1000 years old, your cards are just a recent example of how he’s been adapted and borrowed.

[popsofctown]

Oh I'm aware that Gawain is an old character, I just knew nothing about him besides that he has to do with Arthur and googling additional info seemed like cheating.

I'm very fond of cultural reuse, my avatar is called Isis (which isn't clear from how she's drawn but with the level of detail ancient Egyptian art has couldn't possibly be anyway) and is reused in a mobile game.

[popsofctown]

Mmm this guy seems like he can't decide who his friends are I don't like him

[Haschel Cedricson]

Yeah, I knew it was a gamble hoping one of you would know specifically about the Green Knight but I wasn't sure how else to make the Horse-War-Forest connection in a way that didn't accidentally trigger Stick.

Sorry about the Rwanda clue; I was going for Hotel and War and I somehow missed that Film was on the board.

[Haschel Cedricson]

keep in mind he's said gawain rather than like... lancelot or galahad or even arthur who i'd say would be better known.

"Yes! We got this! Keep going down this line of reas...

I think maybe it's that Gawain had a romance subplot that triggered honey

"nooooooo"

[Pine]

Yeah, and I missed the Tokyo/Emperor connection. Thought I had it last round

[popsofctown]

It's ok my weaboo card made it clear the answer wasn't honey.

But he was in fact wearing a chestplate.

[popsofctown]

horse war forest could be like, centaur, maybe

What was the fourth word? There's still one left you didn't tell us right?

[Haschel Cedricson]

No, it was Tokyo but they gave it to us.

That was the last Atomic word. I know "Time" was also an atomic word but since you seemed to have already gotten it from App I didn't factor it in.

In retrospect I should have said Atomic 5.

[popsofctown]

have I mentioned my craving to be spymaster

[Pine]

Go for it

[Not Known 15]

/in whenever possible next

[Haschel Cedricson]

/in to play again

[Formerfish]

Yeah, and I missed the Tokyo/Emperor connection. Thought I had it last round

Meh, i missed penguin on there and knew as soon as SC asked if they were real guesses and I looked back at the Grid.

S'all good.

/in

[popsofctown]

oh I didn't know I had to /in to stay in /in

I wanna be on the worst's team though cause he's my friend

[Not Known 15]

Oh, and I'd like to be spymaster if possible.

[Pine]
