Codenames (Game 66 in progress)

I'd say construction words.....
It could be Well & Robot.
What other Tiana words could there be?
Concert?
I think there is a stronger case for construction words.

[Menalque]

Guess: Ball

Guess: Pin

Guess: Leprechaun

All red!

BERRY	OIL	CANADA	FORK	ROBOT
SINK	PIT	LEPRECHAUN	CRASH	REVOLUTION
BERLIN	SCUBA DIVER	ROULETTE	BALL	GOLD
OLIVE	LEAD	LOCH NESS	BRIDGE	WELL
WAVE	PIN	ORANGE	CONCERT	HAWK

[Farren]

I'm still okay with Robot. Well is sounding better as well.

[KittyMo]

Is the logic behind "well" that it's something can be constructed? Like, by process of elimination I guess I'd consider it. Oil actually seems stronger to me than well (unless we think it's theirs?) Robot is still potentially a thing, too.
I feel like ball and fork were for Tiana, which makes me think there's 1 left for each of construction and Tiana.
I'm not suuuper confident in concert, though I don't really have anything better. I guess there's an outside chance of it being one of whatever the most frog-like of the water clues is (like loch ness, scuba).

[Farren]

Well is also a water clue.

[KittyMo]

I don't see a connection between well and Tiana, and I am requesting to be convinced of a connection between it and construction.

[Knightmare491]

Well, wells are constructed the same as any other building is. Ofc it's not as professional at times.

[Farren]

In the "what's the other possible Tiana clue?" category, Leprechaun could qualify - both Tiana and Leprechauns are fictional characters.

But yeah, as far as Well goes, I can't elaborate any further than Knightmare has. It's something that would be brought into the world via a construction process. Same line of thinking as Robot - and arguably Bridge, minus the "road construction" element.

[Farren]

Concert I'm definitely not a fan of, if there wasn't an actual concert in the movie.

[Farren]

Does anyone object to a guess of ROBOT at this point?

[Knightmare491]

nope

[Farren]

Guess: Robot

[Menalque]

Guess: Robot

Robot is neutral. Play passes to the blue team with the following board:

BERRY	OIL	CANADA	FORK	ROBOT
SINK	PIT	LEPRECHAUN	CRASH	REVOLUTION
BERLIN	SCUBA DIVER	ROULETTE	BALL	GOLD
OLIVE	LEAD	LOCH NESS	BRIDGE	WELL
WAVE	PIN	ORANGE	CONCERT	HAWK

Removed — please refrain from discussing this before your spymaster has given a clue

I’ve got the text saved and will replace it once hectic has given his clue

I’m not totally sure if this is the right thing to do but I figured it’s better to be overly cautious here than jeopardise the integrity of the game while I check

Re: this

I’ve checked the rules and believe this was the right thing to do. I’m happy to discuss it more post-game if it’s considered unfair. My understanding is that the clue needs to be given before the team starts guessing, as discussing here would be close to direct communication with the Spymaster on what sort of clue he should give, and has the added benefit of knowing that the last guess from the red team was wrong. Had the post been made *before* the red team submitted, in green text, I would allow it to stand as is.

If there’s been inconsistency on this in the past, I apologise; it shouldn’t have been allowed if it was (unless my interpretation of the rules is faulty) and it only slipped through because I didn’t notice.

[CreativeMod1]

Oh sorry, didn't realise it was against the rules. It's something that we do in IRL games of Codenames, talk about things whilst the spymaster is thinking

Idk if it's against the rules either but I'm happy to stick with what has been consistently the rule here

[Hectic]

Alight, 2

[Haschel Cedricson]

Welp, there's our oil.

[Menalque]

Let’s talk about it as the thread collectively after the game, I’m happy to abide by the majority decision on what the rule should be here

Also, I err, fucked up and the text didn’t save properly? Really sorry, but yeah, you can say what was in there now

[CreativeMod1]

Sounds like a good plan

So what I said before was that I think Well could be one of our words as it relates to both mining and forest

Although having seen that clue, I could be wrong as oil is probably our last mining word

[Haschel Cedricson]

Ah right, we still have a forest left.

Any connection between Hawk and Alight?

[CreativeMod1]

Remember that we've got 3 words to get here to win

We got 1 from Mining and 1 from Forest left

I'd assume that given he gave us a word from Mining within Alight, our Forest word is not related to Alight

[Haschel Cedricson]

Light is a wave. Most of the other words I can think of connecting oil and light would also risk hitting sink or well.

[CreativeMod1]

So going through every single word 1 by 1 and pros for them relating to alight

Oil: You light oil on fire
Sink: Eh not really seeing anything here
Berlin: As far as I can think of theres no major historical events for Berlin on fire and even then he could've used burning instead so I don't think it's Berlin
Scuba Diver: Can't think of anything
Loch Ness: Can't think of anything
Well: Can't think of anything
Wave: Light waves
Concert: lol maybe if the word was lit xD
Hawk: Could maybe relate to phoenix birds? But that's a stretch

[Haschel Cedricson]

I agree with your conclusion on Berlin but your premise is very very wrong.
