I like ALPS for capitalist a lot.

AMERICA is a gimme too. We can rule OUT "CAP" because otherwise it would be an illegal clue.

Yes, there are 2 types of Special Clues a Spymaster may give
1) Infinite clue: This allows their team to make as many guesses as they wish (until they hit an incorrect word) But they don't know how many words relate to the clue
2) Zero clue: Again this allows their team to make as many guesses as they with (until hitting an incorrect word) But they know that the clue has nothing to do with their word...this is generally used if it's easier to group together incorrect words than the remaining correct words, or to push them away from a certain word that they've been talking about guessing

The point of both special clues is if a team has fallen far behind but they have lots of clues already on the table, they can pick up all the missing words from previous clues

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?

TIME is scalar, FIELD is a specific degree level maths term but I don't know if it relates to scalars at all

PART still feels kinda related to micro for me, and maybe also scalar because how much of a part something is a scalar value

You can scale the ALPS, but again that's weak homophone should avoid unless clueless stuff

I'm definitely not going to be much help on figuring out Scalar.

All I remember about scalars are that they're differentiated from vectors in some fashion - like, vectors have direction and scalars don't? Something like that?

We only have two words left on the board, so everything remaining has to connect to Scalar somehow.

I'm confident on TIME but I'd like to hear ideas on everything else. Scalar is such a specific term I feel like two answers should jump out and I'm kinda worried that they don't

Farren has the basic idea of the difference between a scalar and a vector. Scalars have just a magnitude; vectors also have a direction.

I agree with TIME and to lesser extent FIELD. I don't think N_M expects us to stretch as hard as to guess PART if we're this close to winning, though—let's try not to overthink this too much.

Would heat qualify as a scalar? If so, that brings COOK back into play.
