Blue first, Red wins!

SPIRIT	PARACHUTE	CALF	STAR	BIKINI
CODE	CURRY	BOMB	BEAN	CROSS
SHED	MAIL	ROLL	LINK	DRESS
CROW	ARMOR	CRYSTAL	ALPS	FIGURE
PISTOL	CANDLE	TRIP	FILM	FINGER

After cluing Meat, the remaining words were

Code, Shed, Bomb, Link, Dress

I wanted to do them with two clues. The only way I saw was

Ruin: Bomb & Shed
Uniform: Dress & Code & Link

But then you guys guessed Dress for Ruin, which wasn't even in the set of possible wrong guesses I had considered. Lucky that it was red, but now I had Shed, Code, Link which I didn't find a clue for. I didn't even find a way to do it with two clues because everything that fit Link & Code also fit Mail. That's why, like joth guessed, I clued Shed first, hoping for WCD to take out Mail.

Tbh I still don't really understand what makes Shed for Ruin harder to guess than Wagon for Roadkill. You blow up a shed; this creates a Ruin. You can't do it any other way. Just because it's also a verb?

[silverspawn]

‘Meat’ could’ve been (4) to clue ‘Link’. We discussed Sausage Links at the time and were mostly hesitant because we were concerned about it possibly being Red for Bodyguard — but as soon as they filled that quota Link would’ve been back on the table.

Not something I'd know as a foreigner and strict vegetarian.

The code/building thing I may have used if it had occurred to me, but it hasn't.

[silverspawn]

You'd think that getting one word out of the way makes a clue strictly easier, but "Code" only made sense for uniform together with "dress" because well it's a dress code

[WestCoastDidds]

Great job, Red!

String was bean, bikini, and figure.

But when we didn’t get figure I had
Figure, mail, candle, and alps.

I should have done the sealing clue for candle and mail first, so that you’d have known that those weren’t the overall word as Scola pointed out, but I really thought you’d get Alps so I wasn’t really thinking about order of the clues. Oh, well. That one is on me.

[Swowl]

shucks! good game all

Who is up next??

Yeah, I figured at some point our guesses hadn't exactly panned out the way you intended, despite going perfect with the results. I was just a little flabbergast that on the previous turn, Blue was on the precipice of victory despite us never missing a word and them missing TWO.

And of course, completely understand that not all connections are equal and apparent to everyone! - it's always especially difficult as the code giver trying to cover as many of your words as possible without giving up enemy words in the process!

[silverspawn]

Can you articulate why Shed felt like a large inferal distance? I feel like there's something I'm missing that could matter for future games

Uhh - to me, I think (if I’m understanding your thought process): A Building that has been demolished (any building), would leave a “Ruin”. I would say it leaves “Rubble”. “Ruin”, to me, has history, or gravity to it. It has importance. It’s not just a generically used term for a building that’s been destroyed.

Does that help?

[silverspawn]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[Eevee]

Is it me and joth, or am I skipping someone?

[jotheonah]

I think it’s us!

[WestCoastDidds]

It feels like we might be sunsetting this game. If it starts back up again, someone mssg me.

[Swowl]

START IT UP NOOOOO

[jotheonah]

ok, ok. hang on.

[Eevee]

Nice, I'm aware it's my turn but just turning in. Clue incoming tomorrow.

[Eevee]

Hawaii: 3

[WestCoastDidds]

Pacific and battleship are my favorites.

Then, maybe, scuba diver

[scolapasta]

I like those three, though scuba more than battleship.

Honorable mention to helicopter, air, and earth. But those are not nearly as good as the first 3.

[WestCoastDidds]

I was getting battleship from Pearl Harbor

[scolapasta]

I get that. But feel scuba more likely (may not quite come up as quickly on mind to a non American).

[Swowl]

pacific, scuba, battleship

Cool, then lets do
