I think answers are ignored before they are in bold or contain a "point to:".

Since we both agree it's number one, let's go ahead and submit OPERA

Heart was one of my "stretch" ones; I couldn't remember the story, but so many stories are in fact love stories. And I know vaguely recall the Elton John one.

So, if Opera is correct, I'm guitar and heart next, either order.

if we get to the 4th, our candidates then are:

Court
Eye
Line
Lead
Eye

Is there anything about a dream in the story?

And got it, not a bible story. I remembered there were Egyptians, but not their context.

if no dream in the story, I like Court or Lead for the 4th.

Ha - the production I saw was 16 years ago. That said it was amazing because it was in Italy at the Verona Coliseum!

That's ... pretty much the opposite of a high school production in Cleveland. But the kids did alright.

OK, so guitar or heart next. Whichever you choose, @jotheonah, I'm fine with. (and fine with picking the other directly as 3rd)

I think I'd rather do Eye than Court for the 4th, is that crazy?

So the question I think we need to ask is why Aida instead of any other opera. Assuming we're actually guessing why ipofanes had in mind, so far, like you pointed out, Aida is a love story. But I'm sure there are other opera love stories.

The two I had suggested, lead and line, are generic for any opera.

So which of court or eye more specific to Aida? I still prefer court on that front (eye just seems like too specific a piece of info, knowing the cover art of one version).

Codenames is so much a game of associations though. So I can see seeing "Eye" and thinking "Aida" because of the visual association. I have a harder time imagining seeing "Court" and thinking "Aida". A royal court is a fairly esoteric use of the word court to begin with, and at least for me I associate it more with middle ages/fantasy courts than I do with Egyptian royalty.

True, but as Dominion players, I do think we're more likely to think of "King's Court" when we hear Court.

That said, if you feel strongly about it, I'm willing to defer to you. When I play in RL with my friends, we have a "benefit of the doubt" arrow, similar to the possession arrow in basketball. i.e. we can go with Eye this time, and the benefit of the doubt arrow now points to me, next time we have differing opinions. :)

I love it. And good point about Dominion. Also I guess our turn is over.
