Codenames (Game 66 in progress)

[Felissan]

I don't see what else it could be, so sure.

Only (expired on 2019-08-01 09:51:48) before I'm supposed to prod you, red field operatives.

[StrangerCoug]

And the prods are officially out.

[Felissan]

Saturn -> Robot

[Haschel Cedricson]

Got 'em both.

[Pine]

Pass or guess, red

[Felissan]

Pass.

PICCOLOS 2

[Kagami]

flute seems pretty clear there.

[Kagami]

So we have candidates:

bell
theater
rome
horseshoe
flute
slug
tail
club
match
circle
bottle

[Kagami]

the pluralization must be relevant to the second item, and it can't be something that's otherwise easily clued.

[Kagami]

idk, match? for a pair of piccolos?

[OkaPoka]

Slug cuz piccolo in dbz is a green slug lul

[Kagami]

It's not a ref to DBZ piccolo or it wouldn't be pluralized, I don't think.

[OkaPoka]

if it was match and flute he could say stick or something tho right

[OkaPoka]

actually club would fuck him up maybe not

[Kagami]

Could vaguely see circle for all the Cs and Os in the word, but my understanding is that such a clue would be illegal anyway.

[Kagami]

Slug for DBZ piccolo isn't too crazy either, maybe pluralization for two different definitions?

UNDEAD:2

Anyone know if haschel watched dbz?

[OkaPoka]

i dont know why that got quoted lol

[Kagami]

flute and slug would both be pretty difficult to clue up to this point, while match would have been far easier.

If I were to yolo, I'd go slug, but we'll see what pine weighs in with.

[Kagami]

Yeah, if it were match, I think so many of the blues are related to hardware that it's hard to imagine HC doesn't give us something like LOWE'S 4/5 near the outset.

Piccolo -> slug relies on pretty specific knowledge that the DBZ guy has little green antennae, but I also struggle to come up with a good clue for it. SCOOT 2 would be pretty unambiguous given rhymes allowed, but seems uncertain that he thinks in that direction.

[Pine]

Flute and slug

Piccolo is really specific, and I definitely think Haschel’s worldly enough to make a DBZ reference

Pull the trigger

[OkaPoka]

Flute

Slug
