Are we good with Inferno and pops being spymasters? Did I miss anyone?

Are we going with "proper nouns allowed but pls no googling"?
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

Shot forest fire seem to be the most fitting ones.
In that order.
Buck is fourth in my opinion, Dinosaur fifth.

Well, it's the fifth option with three declared... it is to be taken if two of the options that make more sense are duds.

slug is non-negligible as well, i suppose.
pedit: bug is good, too.

Uhhhh no actually...
1.Shot
2.Forest
3/4.Fire/Calf
5.Buck
6.Bug
7.Dinosaur
Poor selection, very poor selection.
All of 1-6 is entirely reasonable.

shot & forest are winners imo

i have more of a buck association with hunting than fire or calf, but either of them are fine. slug is a type of bullet. bugs are A Whole Thing when you're hunting. dinosaurs are also valid i think

i'm probably roughly at

shot
forest
buck
calf
slug
fire
bug
dinosaur

happy for you to lock in shot/forest if you agree, mr. fishy. i'd be interested to see what you think of the other clues.

I'd agree with the following three:
Shot
Forest
Yelling at our spymaster for providing this clue

Hm. Can we just pass after the second one? There's simply too many possibly valid clues and the danger of picking red or even grey is simply too high for my taste to risk it in round 1.

sure but i think it's better win% to throw the guess out; if the assassin were anything to do with hunting i can't see inferno choosing that clue

Maybe not the assassin, but giving our opponents free clues is also something we should want to avoid. Plus, if it is something they didn't know or think about(like slug, bug) it could be even the assassin! Don't forget the disaster of a spymaster picking Formal as a clue when Tie was the assassin!

Bermuda because of all the missing people and weird shit.

King maybe? Lots of haunted kings in plays and shit.

Fire could causing a disgruntled spirit for a haunting.

Forests can totally be haunted.

Cross(es) can be used in exorcisms for hauntings.

OK, I see:

Fall, season for hunting.

Forest, where we hunt.

Buck, what we hunt.

Slug and Shot, both how we hunt.

We guess until we run out of tries or we have no options. If we have options we run them down from top to bottom and go with our top 3.

There are so many options that could be Number 3 (Fall, too, uhh..) that we best ignore it for now.
Forest and Shot are mostly safe options because they definitely thought about that. Everything else is playing with fire.
