Codenames (Game 65 in progress)

[OkaPoka]

like we need to hit 4 clues this turn probs to win I don't want to pass it back

if he says 0, 3, 4+, infinity we could hit all the clues this turn

a nonzero or noninfinite number could confuse us because we want to hit our anatomy clues

so we just have 2 random clues to hit

I'll iso pine to see if he ever opts to say x infinity

[OkaPoka]

hmm he hasnt done x infinity or x zero

[OkaPoka]

Paint Infinity

And before you start shit taking 2.8 maybe we let the game end and we can talk about the connections I was making and you can learn more about how my mind works. Every clue I gave made perfect sense to me. I'm sorry you're not me 2.8 this would have been a much easier game that way.

only instance of infinity being used

[Datisi]

Ok cool i sleep now I'll get to this when the sun is up

[OkaPoka]

wtf has nothing to do with bodybuilding

[OkaPoka]

shadow dragon @?!

[OkaPoka]

shadows have no body

dragons destroy

xd

[OkaPoka]

can we do thumb and pupil first

[Datisi]

Fine by me, since if we're wrong on them we prob just lose anyway
Tho I'd like to wait for Mena to confirm first i guess

[StrangerCoug]

Pine PM'd me stating that he meant the clue to be

Bodybuilding: Unlimited

instead of

Bodybuilding: 0

; the clue will officially be changed to that and I will restart the prod timer to count from this post. Since it was a misunderstanding of terminology, I am allowing this change.

[Haschel Cedricson]

I object to this ruling. The OP makes the rules pretty unambiguous and Pine has already played in multiple games.

WEIGHT 0

Just my 2 cents, but we had a 0 clue recently and then our team discussed what that meant at length. I understand mistakes, but normally you confer with the other team on things like this don't you?

[KittyMo]

yo, my team, let's stick to greenposting since it's their turn (it's a rule).

it wasn't my understanding of the rules that a spymaster could change a legal clue after giving it, but ultimately it is up to the mod

[Menalque]

So just ftr, I would have pushed us to take bodybuilding as the clue to our last 2 words + anatomy

[Menalque]

thumb
pupil

[Menalque]

I think the last two are belt and beach

[Menalque]

Belt is actually my strongest guess, ss bodybuilders use a belt to support their lower back when doing particularly heavy lifts a lot of the time

[Menalque]

Beach makes sense to me as “muscle beach” is a particular thing and strong sssocisted with bodybuilders

[Menalque]

I can also see cycle (as they’re in gyms) or glove (sometimes used by bodybuilders to protect their hands) but to me they’re both more weakly associated

This was an exceptional circumstance, but yes, the spirit of the rules is generally that once a clue is given, it's final. No further requests to change the clue will be granted this round.

[OkaPoka]

Legit had no idea about belt but that sounds Gucci

[OkaPoka]

I agree w muscle beach

It's very unclear to me what's exceptional about the circumstances, and in general I feel pretty frustrated about the whole situation.

[xofelf]

I will say this does feel incredibly arbitrary. And like, a 0 clue had just been used AND talked about what it means or doesn't mean. So allowing it to be changed because oh shit, wrong one isn't exactly great.
