I feel like field or ground maybe. field is kind of close to farm, maybe the clue is for Animal Farm

Idk, that's like a complete sidestep and I'm not too sure it would be that. Places where animals would be feels like too much of a stretch when there's two very obvious ones and a third closely enough related. You're probably not wrong Pooky that if he was cluing for those 3, creature is a word that would have worked much more strongly, but sometimes the best word for a group isn't always the first word you can think of that serves the same purpose.

Well, no. But you could squint and consider monsters to be animals.

I agree with Octopus/Penguin/Loch Ness in that order.

I like field better than Loch Ness but im flexible - i just think there are so many different better ways to do 2 marine animals and a lake than "animal"

On the Hogwarts Express, one could find animals. Surely TRAIN is the way to go here.

It's not our turn, so we have to post in green. That way what we say can't be mistaken as serious, made-in-good-faith contributions to the team whose turn it actually is. Once our turn starts, we should no longer post in green.

Okay well, it does seem we're basically all in agreement, so..

Octopus > Penguin


Let's discuss whether we toss in a Loch Ness to follow.

Fare- 4
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?

I feel like AIR fare and TRAIN fare are pretty obvious. Other than that a fare is something that can be CHECKed, maybe also CAPped? I'm having a bit of difficulty in that I keep thinking of 'fair' words which I know isn't valid - but it's NM and rules are more like guidelines anyway?

(I'm guessing the first line in his sig is from this thread?)

Definitely agreed on AIR and TRAIN. I'd put TRAIN slightly above AIR, but wouldn't argue against going the other direction. I don't see anything else that really screams out "PICK ME!" right now.

CHECK is a bit of a stretch, but it's one I'd thought of as well. CAP is also a stretch, and one I did not think of.

HOTEL is another stretch - at least as a place of business that takes money.

Do ski lifts normally charge fares? If so, ALPS comes into play (as a stretch).

I think use of a ski-lift is based on having a ski pass to get on the slopes in the first place, but I have no personal experience.

My really out there one itching my brain is TIME fare, but I'm not sure if it's a phrase I've heard once and forgotten, my brain getting confused with time share, or just something that sounds like it could be right to me that I've never actually come across. Definitely not one I'd want to go with over anything else

Yeah, AIR and TRAIN I agree on. I have the opposite preference from Farren's order, but I don't mind using his order, too. Of the stretches proposed so far, I'm most in favor of HOTEL, though I swear the amount of money you're charged for a stay has a different term. If we were looking for any "fair" words, I'd expect Not_Mafia to use that spelling and not make us rely on homophones, but if he does expect us to consider homophones, then STATE comes to mind. Not hot on anything else right now, unfortunately :(
