xofelf, what are your thoughts?

I would be okay with the first 3 too, the last 2 would be out of my knowledge of things

ISO · Post Post #4377 (ISO) » Wed Jul 01, 2020 5:42 pm

Guess: back

Can't wait forever.

That's red.

CreativeMod1 · Post Post #4379 (ISO) » Wed Jul 01, 2020 6:31 pm

Guess: March

Lets keep this ball rolling with those first 3

Knightmare491 · Post Post #4380 (ISO) » Wed Jul 01, 2020 6:50 pm

Red again.

CreativeMod1 · Post Post #4381 (ISO) » Wed Jul 01, 2020 6:59 pm

Guess: Cover

Go Team Go!

Knightmare491 · Post Post #4382 (ISO) » Wed Jul 01, 2020 7:03 pm

Also red.

Yussssss

Okay ima stop there and let the rest of the team do the last ones cos I don't get the whole basketball stuff so I wouldn't be able to confidently make a guess based on it

So we know 100% that there's no more retreat based words, what do we want to do for the last 2? Also do we think that one of Back/Cover/March was to do with Supersonics? If so we might only be needing 1 more for Supersonics and thus we have a random word out there

That's all I have for Supersonics, I'm happy with whatever you guys come up with for the last 2

I’m trusting (hoping) that Haschel wouldn’t have given us an unlimited clue as a hail mary unless we had been clued on all of the words

ISO · Post Post #4385 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 5:07 am

If I were codemaster and in that position, I *would* give an unlimited clue as a hail mary - after I'd completely ran down the clock and despaired of coming up with a clue that actually gave us a decent chance of winning. Better a slim chance than no chance at all.

I don't think that's what happened here, though.

ISO · Post Post #4386 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 5:15 am

So things we've discussed for Supersonics that are still unknown:

EAGLE
PHOENIX
WAKE

Or there's a possibility that one of the Retreat words was intended as a Supersonics word (MARCH Madness, and forget about distinguishing NCAA/NBA; COVER as ...something defensive in the sport, maybe?) and we're looking for one more word for RETREAT.

Are there any Eagle, Spider, or Phoenix constellations? I'm not aware of any, but my astronomy knowledge is severely lacking.

lilith2013 · Post Post #4387 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 5:18 am

We got all the cetus clues though?

ISO · Post Post #4388 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 5:20 am

(reason being, if exactly one of those is a constellation, we don't want to guess it; it means our codemaster could have changed CETUS 2 into CONSTELLATION 3 without any major risk if the word was one of ours, and the fact that he gave CETUS at all indicates he was thinking about constellations specifically.)

lilith2013 · Post Post #4389 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 5:23 am

Oh, okay. I don’t think any of those are constellations but I’m also not super familiar with astronomy.

I feel like wake is the most likely/least unlikely supersonics clue since march could have been for march madness

Hi sorry, I would have agreed with those for the record, had a couple busy days. Lemme take a look over our options here.

enomis · Post Post #4391 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 1:39 pm

I don't see any other retreat words. I am good with guessing eagle/phoenix. Don't really see any other good options

lilith2013 · Post Post #4392 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 1:58 pm

I still don’t think it’s phoenix

Okay for my own sanity so it's on the right page and looking correct.

Words unguessed: Cold, Phoenix, Pan, Wake, Lap, Germany, Paste, Berlin, Eagle, Spider, Novel
Our Clues: Retreat Unlimited, Supersonics 3, Cetus 2
Their Clues: Granite 2, Wear 3. We gave them Force and Board. Their clues are likely complete.

Cetus is a complete clue, retreat probably is too. Supersonics, definitely not.

Hm, Eagle as a team name like Supersonics is looking a bit better to me. But I'm not sure I like anything else outside of that.

ISO · Post Post #4394 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 2:22 pm

EAGLE / WAKE is starting to grow on me.

ISO · Post Post #4395 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 2:53 pm

Wake for which though and why? Eagle definitely feels decent.

ISO · Post Post #4396 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 2:59 pm

WAKE for Supersonics (speed, not basketball).

Something traveling at supersonic speed would leave a wake, I think?

lilith2013 · Post Post #4397 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 2:59 pm

yeah that was my reasoning when I suggested it - like the wind you feel blowing you back when a plane leaves the ground

ISO · Post Post #4398 (ISO) » Thu Jul 02, 2020 3:02 pm

Honestly at this point everything is a stretch, but that's a stretch I don't instantly hate, so sure. But Eagle first?

No objection to guessing EAGLE.
