Gah, we cleared TRACK for them. I feel like a sherpa now.


We're just trailblazers is all.

I like WINTER. Even though seasons don't work that way, it's too suggestive to not clue.

But LEAD is strong. Let's do that one first.

I think that's a good third guess.  LITTER is the only other one I'm thinking at this point.

I'm having my doubts about WINTER all of a sudden. Are we only deciding to guess it because it's cold in the Himalayas, where "Himalayas" was a word on the board?

Even so, LITTER sounds even less appropriate to what Sherpas do.

bump

possibly the stall is partly due to http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=3621.msg549867#msg549867 but at the moment it's not the spymaster's move.

So, WINTER anyway?

Any idea of a Xyloto association? CAST still seems a bit loose to me.

First things that pop in my mind are BOARD and ROULETTE.

If either or both of those are your first thoughts too, then go for it. I'll need to examine more on the Coldplay clue.

I agree that CAST is pretty weak. I'm seeing CHARGE as a possible synonym for Sparkers, which was a theme, but I'm not sold on that either. The only connections to track names I see are Princess, China, and Heart. The other words just aren’t gelling with me.

So I would go for those two and unless one of us receives an afflatus, pass. Perhaps the paring down of words will help us later.

Yes, I think we can afford a bit of sandbagging.

CHARGE has wonderfully many connotations, such as electricity, responsibility, billing, ambush, that I as a spymaster would not waste it on that weak an association.

The following is in spoilers as to not affect egork's moves too much:

If he gives us a 2 next time (and red has not more than 3 left) I'm in favour of a Hail Mary for CAST to clear the last one.

Hmm, that is possible. And I think it's a stronger possibility than CAST.

So in regards to your spoiler tag, I don't think I would unless things look dire for us.
