So of the ones we considered, we've got MOON, MODEL, FAN, SUPERHERO, and DEATH left. Five words, presumably five STAR words left. Although one thing I just thought of - stars = constellations, and Leo is a constellation. That's one way LION could connect to STAR. So *maybe* we only have four left? But that's a stretch-and-a-half, especially since I don't see any other constellation words.

As far as STAR connections go, DEATH is the one I'm least comfortable with - but DEATH does kinda play in with Safari too, to some extent - safaris are about hunting, which typically results in the death of the hunted. So that strengthens it a bit, I think?

I like SUPERHERO better than MODEL. Reason being, I think superheroes are more likely to be stars than models are? Model has more ambiguity than Superhero does - could mean a supermodel (definitely a star), product model (probably not a star), model airplane (definitely not a star), model behavior (definitely not a star), etc etc. Superheroes, though? They're always ... well, either famous or infamous. And pretty much all fictional - when portrayed outside of literature, that's done by stars.

One argument I can see for going the other way - deprioritizing SUPERHERO - is that earlier consensus had it closer to the tail end. If SUPERHERO was, say, neutral, but we guessed it last ... oh well, no harm done, really.

I don't think any of the words we talked about were the assassin, though. Worst case, enemy agents. Otherwise, I think we get a zero clue to point us away from it. Or possibly another numbered clue that doesn't give us enough time to get to the less confident words on our list, if the problem child is later in the list. But definitely not an unlimited when there's still maneuvering room.

So I think we should guess all the words we were considering, unless we can think of any better connections. Or at worst, leave one out if we think LION was intended by Star.

DISCUS 3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

im thinking ring and revolution for this one, what's the third?

[Jake The Wolfie]

Fan - Close to being flat, usually spins around
Marble - Can fly far when struck
Jack - A toy that is paired with something thrown into the air

I agree with ring, why revolution?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

because the discus thrower spins around in a circle before throwing the discus, and the discus is also spinning

[Not_Mafia]

Oh yeah duh, I was thinking revolution as in like French Revolution.

I guess Fan would be my last choice, or Berlin, as it has hosted the olympics, but that seems like a stretch

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Berlin is a good one, so is fan

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i think it makes sense to be berlin because there are a lot of things that fit revolve and ring

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I'm thinking we do

Ring - > Revolution - > Berlin

Thoughts guys?

[Jake The Wolfie]

I think Berlin hosting the olympics is coincidence to the clue, and not directly linked to it.
