Indeed, please only count bolded guesses in the future. There was team consensus, so I'll give it a pass this time, but please be more careful. I would hate to repeal the rule that Spymasters may confirm guesses.

I mean I figured that as scientist was confirmed by then it didn’t really matter if I proceeded with my clue

At any rate, we've got DAMBUSTERS 3.

Boom jumps out.

What else? Why is it "DAMBUSTERS" and not "DAMBUSTER"? Is the pluralization relevant?

Loch Ness implies waterways. Smugglers could be doing something illegal like blow up a dam? The water would drop if a dam was busted.

I can only presume that the clue refers to the WW2 film
The Dambusters.

Film, boom, and drop? Film, boom, and fighter?

They are thinking maybe Fighter for virus so let's maybe just go film and boom for now?

Yep

Then 2nd and 3rd words seem to be boom+drop, since the dams were destroyed using bouncing bombs.

Hmm... This one's harder. I like eagle, but I have no damn clue what the second one would be, and we still have our other word from the virus clue.

:lol: When I first saw the clue I was thinking of pray, like Church but I don't think dweller thought that way. I would consider an Eagle as more of a predator than prey, I think that buffalo are herbivores and I would assume they get hunted by other animals.

For eagle I was thinking "birds of prey", but I think we somewhat agree on both. Now it's just coming up with an order to guess them in :P Eagle, then buffalo?

Indeed, tick tock, red team. 24 hours to guess.

In the future, though, Spymasters should limit their influence to the clues alone.
