Even if Crash isn't right, I don't think that should discount Ball as an option later. If the clue was Crash, then yes, I agree, but it's not sooooo.

I can feel myself drifting off into second-order solutions. Down that path lies danger.

I'll drop that line of thought for now. Still happy with either CRASH or ROBOT for the time being, preference towards CRASH.

We should establish an order in which we would guess these words. So that the spymaster has a better idea of what clue to give.
Cause the chances of getting it wrong are pretty high now.

brighteningskies, has your order changed any since you last posted it? How do the words that aren't in it fit in?

I'm still not convinced about FORK and BALL because the words themselves don't relate to construction unless something is added but I don't dislike them completely as options.
Seems like preference is now towards going with CRASH next which I'd definitely be down for?

brighteningskies: CRASH > ROBOT > ... (fork/ball?)
Farren: CRASH > ROBOT > WELL > BALL > FORK > SINK > BERLIN
KittyMo: FORK > CRASH / ROBOT > WELL / SINK / BALL > BERLIN
Knightmare491: BALL>WELL>ROBOT>FORK>CRASH
xofelf: CRASH > FORK / BALL > ROBOT

Given that we've only two left, I'd say anything that doesn't have at least one 2nd-tier vote is out, at least for this round of guessing. So forget about SINK and BERLIN.

CRASH has three first votes and one tie for second. Knightmare is the only person who doesn't have it in their top two.
ROBOT has three second votes (one of which is a tie).
FORK has one first and one tie for second.
WELL has one second.
BALL has one first and one tie for second.

Based on that, I'd say forget about WELL for this round as well.

Knightmare: could you explain your objections to CRASH?

I just feel like it's far away enough from construction that I personally would not connect CRASH to it.
Sure accidents happen at construction sites but crash is a different enough word that I'd never use that word for accidents.
I might not be making much sense lol but yeah that's what my thinking is.
If you guys want to go with it, it's okay. nbd

I'm definitely feeling Roulette on this since it's a game, the other is less clear, Revolution is the other since well, nothing strikes me as a prize or competition and we did win the revolutionary war.

I agree those jump out.

My only hesitation is that SPINNING or TURNING seem like they would be more obvious clues to link those two.

I would say roulette and revolution, they're the only winnable things I see on the board, there have been dozens of more important revolutions than the US revolution, there's no reason to think Hectic would specifically mean the revolutionary war
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

They seem kinda esoteric for revolution, words like overthrow or overturn are much more apt for revolution, spinning and turning seem like 3 steps removed

Hey Guys, it's been a long time. hahaha.

I agree Roulette and Revolution seems to be the most likely.
