I knew Crash was racing so no risk there. I knew Bolt for Door and would’ve guessed it before Jam had I not been so confident in Jam! 😁

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

Certainly!

I think Swan might want in on one too. He was following yesterday.

How does it work with multiple guessers from the same team, do they plan their guesses via pm or discuss here in public?

Right, I would say teammates discuss on forum (public).

In RL, we make players touch the card to lock it in (and any teammate can do it and even choose to short circuit conversation).

We can do something similar, where any player on the team has to say an arbitrary phrase, like "lock it in".

Sure, bold can be official. I just have to get out of the happen of bolding more frequently then! :)

For trumpet, Copper was a concern, but at least it was neutral

Yeah, I think having one neutral word related to your clue is usually fine. I can always finish that clue on a future turn.

For Racing, I preferred Nascar, but not knowing anything about you, I looked at your profile, saw your location as Australia, and was worried you wouldn't know what Nascar was. So I went with the more generic term.

We know what Nascar is (personally I know it's car racing but very little else). I don't know how I missed crash though. I was imagining an ambulance racing to get somewhere, and hoped it was at worst neutral.

I would love to see an open discussion between team members. It is so much easier following it without having to keep a straight face. But I get it that some people prefer a quick match without additional discussions.

OK, so who's joining our (ipofanes and mine) team?

I'll start the discussion: I don't know much about Aida, besides it being an opera. So that's the obvious first choice.

After, that? Some ideas (in very vague order)

Church (is Aida a Bible story?)
Guitar (opera -> music -> instrument)
Lead (singer)
Line (of a song)
Dream

And a few others which are even more of a stretch.

Aida is a love story, so HEART could apply. It involves royalty (Egyptian, I think), so COURT is a possibility.

I don't think CHURCH. GUITAR for sure, it's a modern musical. LEAD, LINE are reasonable but seem like a stretch.

So I guess i like

OPERA
GUITAR
HEART
COURT

in that order

For some reason I feel like EYE should be in the mix. I think the official poster/CD art for Aida prominently featured an eye.

I'm thinking about the Elton John one, not the original opera.
