noooooooo is that game over?

Yes (it was subtle, but I used an exclamation point instead of a period).

Full board and post mortem from me coming soon (in a meeting now).

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

Post mortem:

FARM (4): Horse, Rose, Park, Private
CRATER (3): Moon, Boom, Park
DOSSIER (1): File

So I wanted to try to connect Horse, Rose, and Park. I considered FIELD, but Track was one of their words. Also GRASS, but wasn't sure it would really work. Then hit on FARM, which also allowed for Private, but didn't realize it was actually further from Park that natural. (i.e. in my mind, I connected FARM to FIELD, and didn't think further). I didn't even consider that you would somehow think Guitar there...

When I had CRATER in mind for Moon and Boom from early on, when it was clear to me that you weren't necessarily getting Park from FARM, I realized there must be some park somewhere named after a crater, so I threw a 3 on there instead of a 2. And luckily, there is!

Lastly, I couldn't think of a good clue for File and Park, so had to hope that you'd get Park from the other two. I did consider X (as in X Files and X marks the spot, which maybe for park), BUT was afraid you might think Atlantis, since it no longer exists. Also something like CARFAX, but the problem with anything car related was garage. (It really helped that they got Van for us).

Generally, I had to avoid anything transportation related due to Ship being Assassin.

Yeah, that was a close one. "Vehicular manslaughter" got me... because that thing isn't classified as manslaughter but rather as negligence in Germany. My manslaugther words were Court, Club, Knife, Pan. (Pan was admittedly a stretch)

I'm glad the Fairy -> Pan clue worked out though.

Your team were so close with Night vs Copper at the end there. Stressful to watch as a codemaster.

Fairy was a great clue!

Boot - like snow boot
Light- like snow is light and fluffy
Settle - like snow settling on the ground?

There are others too, but i think first two are for sure.

Then next for me is boot. What you see pasta?

I saw same ones but also SHOE.

ANTARCTICA -> PENGUIN

I'd vote Shoe before Boot, but am fine the other way too, if you prefer.

If any are wrong, I like Settle more than Light.

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.

You could dial a radio with your finger.
A cassette deck is found in old stereo radios.
A stereo box (or beat box) could fit for radio.
You could possibly listen to opera on the radio.
And then obviously guitar is a possibility.

Oh crap - completely my mistake! I’ve had a long couple days and absolutely spaced on having a partner in this one! I came in, saw the bump, and just thought action was waiting on me. I’m so sorry!
