Clue:

FANCY - UNLIMITED

[Farren]

Game state thoughts:
- Getting an unlimited clue here means that we have at *least* two more Piano 0 words left to ID.
- It *may* also mean we're being encouraged to go for victory. In that case, we're looking at 2-3 Fancy words and 2-3 (not-Piano) words. There could also be overlap between those categories.

I want to spend a little time thinking about the exact possibilities.

Will post thoughts on Fancy later this evening.

[Farren]

Big question: are we in imminent danger of losing if we *don't* go for it?

Opponents have 4 words left, with one clued word outstanding.

Yes, I think we are. So it's quite likely we have already all outstanding words clued; likely 2 for piano and 3 for fancy.

Will check later

Spoiler: fancy

DANCE, PANTS, SHIP are thing that can be fancy, as in extravagantly ornamental. In order of how much I think they fit, SHIP is

really

a strech. Tbh ORGAN is even more fanciful but I want to believe that PIANO-0 means categorically no organ...

Alternatively, fancy may also mean whim or imagination, so it may be ATLANTIS or KNIGHT but that is a big stretch.

/back in for both please. Sorry I flaked, I was in the hospital.

[Farren]

Spoiler: Fancy

King, Ship, Atlantis are the three that come to mind, in no particular order.

[biancospino]

So SHIP/ATLANTIS are in our intersection. Thou KING/KNIGHT are kind of semantically similar so it's credible that if it's one it may be also the other

Wanna try ATLANTIS?

[biancospino]

Btw, isn't "fancy-pants" a word that exists, meaning too pompous?

[Farren]

I have to agree with no ORGAN ever, unless we get something that's dead-on.

SHIP and ATLANTIS are our only two points of alignment, and confidence in general is low.

DANCE at least has connection points back to Piano 0. And I could see dances being fancy. Maybe start there?

PEdit: Ooh. Yes, yes it is. PANTS is an excellent word, and we should start there instead.

Mod: Is it OK if Charles510 takes the spymaster position back from me?

[biancospino]

Guess: PANTS

Glad to hear you're doing better!

I'll PM both of you

[Cat Scratch Fever]

Guess: PANTS

PANTS is blue

Charles510 replaces StrangerCoug. I've amended the previous post

Welcome back!

Welcome back!

Thanks!

Whose turn is it?

[Cat Scratch Fever]

It's still blue team's turn

[biancospino]

guess: DANCE

[Cat Scratch Fever]

Dance is blue

[biancospino]

I'm kind of thinking it may be OPERA.
OPERA/STADIUM/DANCE/(maybe RING)/CONCERT do form a pretty cohesive group...

And maybe ATLANTIS for fancy. Probably less risky, we can try this first perhaps

[Farren]

Right now, I'm thinking STADIUM / RING / DANCE were all intended by Piano 0. There's what, 1-2 more?

LAB / JACK for Garage 2.

Fancy as a 2-3.

I think right now SHIP is where I'm at, over ATLANTIS?

Concert still feels too close to Piano. Opera slightly less close.
