Ball as in dance, yeah.

Concert is a possibility maybe but like I don't think so. I'm honestly not sure at all what any of this could possibly be hinting at.

She had a green princess dress and is a restaurant owner so I think olive is a good guess

ISO · Post Post #4553 (ISO) » Wed Jul 22, 2020 7:50 am

Plus with Knightmare's possible connection of Olive as a name ... sounds good to me.

Yeah uh this is an interesting clue. I believe there was a ball type event at the start of the movie before she turns into a frog. There's very prominent jazz music at the end of the movie for the happily ever after, though it's not specifically depicted as a concert. I suppose I'd probably lean more toward loch ness if we guessed in the "transformation" direction b/c idk frogs are aquatic and they spend a decent amount of the movie going along a river?? But frogs are also ... not loch ness monsters so that's a stretch. Tiana's main like goal in life is running a restaurant though as I mentioned, so olive/fork seem worth considering.

So far we have:

BALL
FORK
LEPRECHAUN
OLIVE
LOCH NESS
CONCERT

on the table?

Concert seems pretty weak. Given no Gaelic connection like I thought, I'm not liking LOCH NESS much anymore. LEPRECHAUN's a bit better with the whole "fictional" business, but not sure.

FORK and BALL have both been kinda-connected to two different clues now with varying degrees of strength. I don't suppose Tiana runs around waving a fork in the air singing about how wonderful restaurants are at any point in the movie?

Knightmare491 · Post Post #4556 (ISO) » Wed Jul 22, 2020 6:52 pm

so, fork first?

ISO · Post Post #4557 (ISO) » Thu Jul 23, 2020 6:30 am

I'd say either that, Olive, or Ball. Leaning Olive or Ball, but my instincts for this game have been lousy of late.

ISO · Post Post #4558 (ISO) » Thu Jul 23, 2020 6:05 pm

If anyone else in my team is feeling lucky or confident, please go with a guess. If not, I'll throw in a guess of ... something ... when I wake up tomorrow. Probably FORK, given that Knightmare was right about CRASH being wrong.

Knightmare491 · Post Post #4559 (ISO) » Thu Jul 23, 2020 6:50 pm

lol, I just think that Fork & ball could be construction clues as well so it might be a safe bet.

Knightmare491 · Post Post #4560 (ISO) » Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:45 pm

Fork it, let's go for it.

Guess: Fork

lilith2013 · Post Post #4561 (ISO) » Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:55 pm

fork is red

Knightmare491 · Post Post #4562 (ISO) » Thu Jul 23, 2020 9:57 pm

Don't wanna get trigger happy here, but we should go with olive next? The restaurant angle is good, I haven't seen that movie so had no idea.

ISO · Post Post #4563 (ISO) » Fri Jul 24, 2020 5:10 am

No objections here. Especially after I was wrong once again about thinking Olive / Ball were a better choice than Fork.

Knightmare491 · Post Post #4564 (ISO) » Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:00 am

Guess: Olive

lilith2013 · Post Post #4565 (ISO) » Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:39 am

olive is neutral

Tiana (1/3): Fork

Berry is obvious.

Could be Hawk? Canada is heavily forested but I think there could be better linking clues there.

CreativeMod1 · Post Post #4569 (ISO) » Fri Jul 24, 2020 8:58 am

It is possible that revolution was part of mining? it'd be a bit of a stretch but maybe

As for forest, I can see:
Berry (grow in forests)
Canada (idk if this is something maybe canada is known for?)
Leprechaun (maybe a bit of a stretch but they are known to live in forests....this word could be related to Tiana though)
Hawk (idk sometimes they fly around forests)

If we got the same word clued twice in our first two clues I will be a little upset.

Berry is a lock, My intial instinct for second was leprechaun, it's the one I most readily associate with (a) tree(s), Canada does have the Christmas tree and maple leaf association though. I would rule out Hawk

ISO · Post Post #4572 (ISO) » Fri Jul 24, 2020 1:14 pm

Maple Leaf is good. I'm liking Canada more.

ISO · Post Post #4573 (ISO) » Fri Jul 24, 2020 1:26 pm

I definitely associate Forests with Canada more than anything

Not_Mafia · Post Post #4574 (ISO) » Fri Jul 24, 2020 1:28 pm

Shall we lock in Berry?
