Crater: 2

That would be Bomb/Dinosaur, right?

faust · « **Reply #377 on:** September 26, 2020, 04:41:37 am »

+Wall and that should be it hopefully.

jotheonah · « **Reply #378 on:** September 26, 2020, 11:26:41 am »

Yeah, you could make a case for Pitch or Fire, but I think Bomb and Dinosaur make the most sense. Feel free to lock in.

faust · « **Reply #379 on:** September 26, 2020, 11:54:55 am »

Bomb -> Dinosaur -> Wall

Galzria · « **Reply #380 on:** September 26, 2020, 12:08:50 pm »

Bomb is Blue
Dinosaur is Blue
Wall is Blue

Whoo! What a tough set of words! I did NOT figure a way for us to get there - well, until they flipped ‘figure’ for us. I completely missed the opportunity to put ‘Bomb’ on the clock clue, and was slapping myself when faust brought it up. While it would’ve worked out, it could’ve left me with a much harder final pair... and worse, I worried that seeing ‘Bomb/Dinosaur’ for Crater night then make you reconsider the unguessed ‘Wall’ for clock.

Faust - Sorry about the Elphaba clue. There were a lot of words I didn’t want you to hit that could’ve been considered had I just said Wicked. Cat, Cap, Opera were all words I needed to avoid. I wasn’t trying to clue just to Joth there, but while I didn’t know if you would have any knowledge of the musical, I was certain Joth would, and I needed to thread a very touchy three words there.

Full Board:

CAT	CAP	RABBIT	BARK	FIGURE
TALE	WITCH	IRON	WALL	GOLD
BOMB	DINOSAUR	PITCH	DANCE	SKYSCRAPER
OLIVE	ROUND	GREEN	CROWN	CHECK
OPERA	PIN	CYCLE	PASS	FIRE

Oh don't worry, it's hard to guess what the other players know, and in the end if one teammate gets it that's mission accomplished!

so close. good job to my team on that one for figuring out what you did from the clues. That was a rough one!

OH, I just realized PIN could've been for Teller (you have to input your PIN when you use an ATM)

Was that it, then? And Cycle for Fancy?

Swowl · « **Reply #384 on:** September 26, 2020, 04:19:27 pm »

I clued 3 for teller thinking TALE and CHECK would be solid.
Then was also like “right after they do teller of tales they may think opera” and same as “right after they do bank teller they might think PIN” so i clued it as a 3.
I did not foresee all the things with rabbit happening so that is probably mb lol

Then i knew Galz had Dino and bomb left. Assumed they would get wall. So fancy was to get olive and opera out the way while leaving 1 for final clue to match fancy.
But it was dependent on Galz having them hit fire first so womp womp

I didn’t know I had made my musical theater bona fides known on this forum lol. Maybe it’s just a personality read.

I have you on Facebook - it wasn’t a huge leap to make. 😋 I think my knowledge would surprise more people than yours!

Blue goes first

DEATH	SNOWMAN	DAY	WAVE	BOOT
MAJOR	BACK	PLATYPUS	MARCH	AMERICA
CHOCOLATE	RACKET	VET	HAWK	CANADA
MILLIONAIRE	THIEF	PYRAMID	DOCTOR	DUCK
FINGER	HEAD	TURKEY	SHOE	PART

Beak: 4

jotheonah · « **Reply #390 on:** September 27, 2020, 10:10:07 am »

I think I see what he's doing here. He's trying to clue Turkey and Hawk without cluing Duck (which is also a bird, but has a bill, not a beak).

OR he's considering a bill to be a subset of beaks and he's trying to clue Turkey, Hawk, Duck, and Platypus. That actually seems more likely because if it's the first one I don't know how we get up to four!

jotheonah · « **Reply #391 on:** September 27, 2020, 10:11:13 am »

Well, it could be Turkey, Hawk, Part, and Head actually.

I think it's either Turkey, Hawk, Duck, and Platypus or Turkey, Hawk, Part, and Head.

Galzria · « **Reply #392 on:** September 27, 2020, 12:28:26 pm »

My initial read was: Turkey, Hawk, Head, Duck -> but I didn’t see Platypus. While a Platypus or Duck might be referred to as having a Bill, a Bill and a Beak are actually synonymous.

Turkey -> Hawk either way.

I think we do Duck next, then gamble on Platypus or Head -> If it’s Part, I think we can circle back around to it later on.

jotheonah · « **Reply #393 on:** September 27, 2020, 01:36:09 pm »

My only reservation is if the clue was specifically trying to exclude duck it could be the assassin.

Maybe... But that’s incredibly, incredibly risky - far beyond what I think faust would do on the opening clue.

faust · « **Reply #395 on:** September 27, 2020, 04:16:35 pm »

Turkey is blue
Hawk is blue

Oh crap, I messed up

Not sure how that happened. Anyways I gave a clue for red words for some reason, which there are fewer of... I don't think this is salvagable.

Galzria · « **Reply #398 on:** September 28, 2020, 01:19:22 am »

Ah, drat. That’s ok - just reset!

Yeah, no worries. I PMed first in case we could salvage (but agree, not really possible). So yeah, feel free to reset and resend to me.
