Thoughts Awaclus? Feel free to lock in at least the first two when you see this.

Sorry! I was #1 in my Duolingo league last week and the #2 didn't give up easily so I spent pretty much the entire yesterday learning Swedish and forgot to think about this game.

Spot -> Finger

I like Code the best out of the other three options.

What's the idea behind corner?

I could see a thought process for mass, because identifying individuals from a mass of people is a thing, especially when it comes to mass surveillance. It's a bit of a stretch, but on the other hand, it's pretty much impossible to clue 5 words and not have some of them be a bit of a stretch.

Ha! Extremely same on the Duolingo pressure! It brings out some weird competitive streak because I don’t even know why I care about winning.

Spot is red
Finger is red

You can "corner" someone, which I guess is not exactly identify but sort of similar maybe. Tick for "ticking a box".

Let's go code

Code is neutral

infangthief · « **Reply #1708 on:** October 19, 2020, 10:18:56 am »

Knotted: 1

WestCoastDidds · « **Reply #1709 on:** October 19, 2020, 11:00:07 am »

Blue goes first

MOON	SPOT	CORNER	CLIFF	MERCURY
TEMPLE	BILL	THEATER	GAME	CHICK
GIANT	FILE	CHOCOLATE	MASS	HORN
FINGER	TICK	CARROT	CODE	BERMUDA
SCIENTIST	BUFFALO	STRING	DRAGON	ORGAN

I don’t think EFHW will mind string

infangthief · « **Reply #1711 on:** October 19, 2020, 11:25:40 am »

String is blue

WestCoastDidds · « **Reply #1712 on:** October 19, 2020, 11:38:28 am »

I think we’ll pass, but I’ll let EFHW make that call

WestCoastDidds · « **Reply #1713 on:** October 20, 2020, 02:03:23 pm »

Okay, pass

Not sure why the hold up, but it’s the right call regardless

I will be VLA from Saturday, for about a week. It would be nice to finish this game by then.

I suppose if we don't manage that then I could just PM Galzria with what my next clue would be before I go and he could give it for me if it is needed.

Awaclus · « **Reply #1716 on:** October 22, 2020, 09:48:55 am »

I'm still playing but we can't do anything until Galzria gives the clue.

Eevee · « **Reply #1717 on:** October 22, 2020, 10:39:26 am »

Yeah, still in!

Also debating creating a new game and limiting it to 4 players to ensure it going faster.

Eevee · « **Reply #1718 on:** October 22, 2020, 10:39:44 am »

In addition to this! I’d love to play two.

4 players is much faster. Also, being able to 'hear' the thoughtprocesses makes it quite different.

Or (and?), I wonder if anyone would be interested in the 2-player co-op version. Would need an independent moderator to set up the board, but I'd be happy to do that.

Galzria · « **Reply #1720 on:** October 22, 2020, 01:50:23 pm »

Checking clue now - sorry, just didn't get a chance to check yesterday. When I looked on Tuesday, I was still waiting on the other team to pass.

Galzria · « **Reply #1721 on:** October 22, 2020, 01:58:02 pm »

Manicure: 2

EFHW · « **Reply #1722 on:** October 22, 2020, 02:23:57 pm »

Sorry, usually I'm checking this several times a day, but I got out of the habit when there was a long lull. Agree it's more fun fast paced.

EFHW · « **Reply #1723 on:** October 22, 2020, 02:24:42 pm »

Don't wait so long to pm me next time!

Awaclus · « **Reply #1724 on:** October 22, 2020, 02:37:34 pm »

File is definitely one. I think the other could be theater because actors could get manicures or chick because women are stereotypically more likely to get manicures than men. Do manicure products ever contain mercury?
