sattelite and...?

That's a hard one.

Could be satellite, but that's not straightforward so I'd like to think what the other one could be before we guess it.

I mean, there's a kind of link with north and south POLEs, but I don't think Solar would be the clue if we're thinking about the north pole and satellites; there ought to be a more obvious clue I think. Or maybe Solar is the best clue for that. Especially if we're meant to understand it as meaning Solar System.
PALM trees are associated with desert islands, which are also sunny.
CANDLEs burn, as does the sun.
There's probably some kind of SCALE for measuring solar events.
A POST or POLE can be used in a basic solar clock.
LEMONs probably need lots of sunshine to ripen.

I don't like any of these really. We must be missing something. Or how do you feel about Satellite and Pole?

Swowl · « **Reply #880 on:** December 18, 2020, 04:41:55 pm »

yeah I am good with that. Scale could be a good back up - though I admit I don't think I actually know anything about it or its existence, just agree that it probably does exist

We'll try it.
Satellite -> Pole

scolapasta · « **Reply #882 on:** December 19, 2020, 01:13:49 pm »

Satellite is Red.
Pole is Red.

Sweet!
I think pass is the play here but your call.

infangthief · « **Reply #884 on:** December 20, 2020, 04:23:23 am »

Yes, pass. There's a reasonable chance Spine was the other Bull one. They have them.

Slaver: 4

Cotton is the only one that jumps out at me here.

Cotton, possibly, yes.

There’s Slavers Bay from Game of Thrones.

A Teacher could be considered a form of slaver.

Germany might also fit here, with their interment camps.

Shot, maybe, but I’m not a big fan of it here.

Coffee/Scale/Well all are outside stretches, but not my first choices.

let's lock in Cotton and Bay and then re-group

Galzria · « **Reply #890 on:** December 20, 2020, 04:12:36 pm »

Cotton -> Bay

scolapasta · « **Reply #891 on:** December 20, 2020, 04:24:10 pm »

Cotton is Blue.
Bay is Blue.

Galzria · « **Reply #892 on:** December 20, 2020, 04:30:23 pm »

Given Cemetery is still missing 2... I think maybe I like Germany here next? Then either pass, Teacher, or maybe shot?

Germany

I’m not quite buying teacher— seems like a stretch

faust · « **Reply #895 on:** December 24, 2020, 12:52:01 pm »

Germany is neutral.

scolapasta · « **Reply #896 on:** December 26, 2020, 12:11:49 am »

Merry Christmas all! I'll have a clue up tomorrow.

scolapasta · « **Reply #897 on:** December 28, 2020, 10:39:12 pm »

STAMP: 3

infangthief · « **Reply #898 on:** December 29, 2020, 04:07:25 am »

Both spymasters seem to be trying to finish this fast...

Most stamps are almost SQUARE. But we should be aware the other team are considering that word also.
You'd need a stamp to send post to/from TURKEY. Bit tenuous. But in a previous game Scola suggested the use of a postal themed clue to get London, so maybe this is similar?
Oo, so POST, surely.
You weigh an item on a SCALE to determine what stamps it needs to be sent.
A TEACHER might use a stamp for marking. But probably wouldn't.
Is there a PALM connection? You use the palm of your hand with a stamper.

I would favour Post, then either Scale or Palm, possibly both, with serious consideration given to Square. Turkey as an outsider.

Post 100%.

Lemme study the board for a minute
