SUPERSONICS 4

ISO · Post Post #4211 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 10:40 am

Boom for sure. Not sure about anything else.

CreativeMod1 · Post Post #4212 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 10:43 am

So, I'm seeing Force, Boom, Jet

lilith2013 · Post Post #4213 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 10:45 am

a supersonic boom leaves a wake?

lilith2013 · Post Post #4214 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 10:45 am

like a wave

ISO · Post Post #4215 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 11:38 am

Not just Supersonic, but the plural.

My memory's a bit murky on this, but Seattle used to have a basketball team called ... either the Sonics or the Supersonics, and I cannot for the life of me remember if it was the Supersonics and just abbreviated to the Sonics, or if I'm just imagining the "Super" part. I'm not much of a basketball fan, though - not seeing anything super-obvious that leads to, but it's another possible reference that could explain the plural.

Agreed on JET and BOOM for sure. I'd put them in that order for 1 and 2.

ISO · Post Post #4216 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 11:41 am

Or it could just be a reference to things that fly, in which case EAGLE and PHOENIX start looking good. But if that's the case, I'd really start wondering why the plural specifically.

ISO · Post Post #4217 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 12:02 pm

Haschel Cedricson's location is listed as "Cascadian Subduction Zone", which makes me think Washington or nearby, which is another point towards the basketball team.

And looking at the words again, both BACK and BOARD are up there. Backboard's a thing in basketball, I think?

ISO · Post Post #4218 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 12:25 pm

Hasch lives in Oregon, but he would know a bit about what goes on with Seattle probably. And the team was SuperSonics. Which uh may have been involved with march madness in the past? But I am not sure on that.

I think highly likely since there are 4 words

---------------------------------------
Possible Options:

Code: Select all

JET,BOOM,FORCE,PHEONIX,EAGLE

I would go:
1. Jet
2. Force
3. Pheonix
4. Boom
----------
Wrong Option: Eagle --> Think this is not intended.

ISO · Post Post #4220 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 2:34 pm

Why Boom last? That one feels the most correct. I'm not against the other options there but I'd rather do that one first.

lilith2013 · Post Post #4221 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 2:35 pm

I don't see phoenix at all

lilith2013 · Post Post #4222 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 2:36 pm

I think it probably is a reference to the basketball team and then back/board would make sense

I don't know. I guess supersonic and boom just don't link for me. But it may be a cultural thing. I will follow you guys if you think that is the most likely.

In post 4221, lilith2013 wrote:I don't see phoenix at all

I thought that it makes sense since pheonix is a basketball team too?? I think. the plural of supersonics is absolutely intentional, so, I think pheonix should be a right option.

CreativeMod1 · Post Post #4224 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 3:16 pm

So, I agree that it's very important to note that he used Supersonics rather than Supersonic, like the S has got to mean something

I don't know much about Basketball (let alone US Teams) so I won't be much help there, I do however think that the first 2 words need to be Boom and Jet

Force is a strong word but not as strong as Boom and Jet

If it is a basketball thing than maybe both Back and Board are there instead of Force (but I think Force is stronger than those 2)

I'm happy with someone guessing Boom/Jet here (I would do it but I don't wanna be that guy who just guesses a word without at least 1 other person on board with it being a guess)

Pre-edit: Boom is very strong due to Sonic Boom, it's the technically name for when something makes a loud sound due to travelling faster than the speed of sound
