Revolution
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?

We could try Oil or Well for mining for our bonus guess

Remember that they've still got 2 more words left from Construction which puts them only 1 behind us and then a new clue on top of that

I think we need to keep the lead

Not that any of you would be the kind of abominations that do use it, Mena, you're gonna wanna make sure that yellow isn't garbage on sepia. Unless of course you're trying to hint super strongly that they should use any other skin, in which case I'm completely behind you.

When I modded, I just struck it out without applying a color tag :P It might be easier to see a different color than a strikethrough, though, and it was suggested in one of my early games.

In my experience people are always WAAAAAAAY too liberal with guessing instead of passing.

We have a word that's been clued, but we don't know what it is and we disagree on which of the two options is better. If we pass, then we can potentially have the word re-clued to us on the final round, or not clued which will implicitly tell us to look at the options we are debating between. It also leaves words on the board that the opposing spymaster has to work around, and we also have the chance that the other team will guess the word.

Passing is usually the smart play here.

Hmmm, then I think maybe we can pass. Since I personally think their clue is quite hard.

Hm, well I think Lilith means Tiana like Princess and the Frog, but the only one that pings me is Ball.

I have never heard of Tiana, so I'm not going to be much help here.

The only "Princess and the Frog" I know of is the story of the princess who kisses a frog that's actually an enchanted prince, and that sort of story usually doesn't name the princess - or the frog, for that matter.

It could mean lochness & leprechaun since both of those things are also fictional. Third could be olive (name).
Ball we would have guessed for construction later anyway, don't think that is a part of Tiana.

Leprechauns are certainly fictional, so if Tiana is a fictional character that would be a good connection. Loch Ness ... the monster is fictional, but I didn't think the place itself was? Still, the monster's the first thing anyone thinks about when Loch Ness comes up, so it's not unreasonable.

I was also toying with Loch Ness myself, mostly because Tiana sounded vaguely Gaelic to me.

brighteningskies? KittyMo? Any thoughts on Tiana?

xofelf, can you explain the Ball connection to Tiana? Are we talking like a ballroom dance type of ball, or something else?
