Haha I would be using Google Translate to guess at all the words and then trying to find connections from there - even though the translations surely wouldn’t be exact!
Damn sorry I missed that you didn't bold that :(
Oh and the other trayful was volume, a trayful being a measurement of volume
Oh and the other trayful was volume, a trayful being a measurement of volume Completely overlooked one might want to polish a sword, not my finest game. Tried to go for shiners brushing shoes for tips, but it was tough to find a single word that didn't have the word shoe in it. I did have some big clues lined up to finish the game if some red words were eliminated, had to start with the trickiest words because of some overlaps like Jupiter/Saturn.

Oh, and great job getting the Idaho words perfectly; that clearly put the pressure on them!
Yes, Yellowstone does (barely) extend into Idaho, and Washington, is not just any state, but borders Idaho...

Mountie?
idk guys. I guess I like Force, but I'm not thrilled with any of them. I could support Fire or Mountie. To me Mountie very specifically refers to the Canadian Royal Mounted Police, not just to anyone on horseback.
I feel like I don't know enough about him to really help. Did he have a telescope?
or just pass. I mean I know we're behind, but if we make a guess that's too wtf we risk hitting their word or the assassin

Telescope is indeed Red Blue.
Napoleon was Mountie (you got that connection right - he’s normally pictured on a Horse, and he led the military, so there was that connection as well). Third was Cold (I’m pretty sure he crossed the Alps, which was my connection thought there).
I needed something to tie: Mountie, Cold & Dwarf.
The last Ninja was Temple, as in a place to train.

Marriage (3): Wedding, ****, ****
Starbucks (3): Server, ****, ****
Driver: Limo Driver for a Wedding/Marriage
Piano: Decoration or Music at a Wedding/Marriage
Blind: -
Jam: Could be some association with Starbucks
Rust: -

Charge: You’re charged for a coffee at Starbucks.
France: Maybe a Marriage destination.

Whistle: Could be a cultural thing for Marriages here, but I’m not aware of one.
Sub: You might sub oat milk for whole milk at Starbucks (or other things)

Knot: Tie the Knot/Get Married
Wagon: “Hitch the Wagon” is a saying for getting married.
Peanut: Same as Whistle. Might be a connection I’m unaware of in another culture.

So we have left:
1 Starbucks in {Charge, Sub}
1 Marriage in {Circle, Piano, Wagon}
I think my preferred order of guesses (we only get one more this round) would go:
Sub > Circle = Wagon > Piano = Charge
But I could easily be talked away from that.

I don’t like the following from this list and would probably remove them from consideration:

Peanut
That leaves us:
Piano (Marriage)
Charge (Starbucks)
Circle (Marriage)
Sub (Starbucks)
Knot (Marriage)

I think Knot is ours for sure, so we have 2-of-3 left for Starbucks, and 1-of-3 left for Marriage after removing Knot.

1 Starbucks in {Charge, Sub}
1 Marriage in {Circle, Piano, Wagon}

Yes, one word but hyphenated words are okay if they are normally hyphenated in use like brother-in-law or criss-cross.
Yeah, France does also come to mind. But wouldn't the clue then be something like MARSEILLES (which is in the South of France)? or even just GEOGRAPHY?... i.e why specifically LATITUDES, and does the plural matter?
Is there some some with Latitudes in it?

In all reality, the infinity was a straight up mistake. I was seeing if I could make the symbol and hit post instead of preview. I was on my phone with the tiny buttons. I planned on emailing LaLight when I got to my office, but in the meantime pasta had posted and it was all about the infinity so I knew it would t be fair to retract it.
Only in the course of y’all talking about it did I realize that a circle was infinite. But it totally is.
I was hoping you’d get circles from latitudes plural vs. singular since latitudes are circles around the earth.
When we had circle, piano, and south left I thought about singalong, line-dance, or some thing like that but the damn whistle was still out there and I don’t know how to make sure it was southern enough.
But good job, y’all on getting heart for living. I love that you can channel me, Swowl!

Ok, every clue: Marriage was Wagon, Knot, Wedding. Starbucks was Peanut (peanut coffee is a thing here), Smoothie, Server. Sandwich was Jam, Peanut and Thief went unclued as I couldn't clue it anywhere

Peanut coffee?!! Have you had it? Is it good? I’ll say that you had a much harder word list. Three animals was a big help for us.
I was pretty sure in was in Cuba, no?

Spin grace or spinning grace (?) is not even an expression I’m familiar with.
My only concern is that if it was jupiter, wouldn’t spinning or rotating be a more natural clue?
Crap.
Is that allowed? To give the same clue again?
I don't get the whip connection.

Woah is right! :)
Let's see, some possible words:
Tattoo, Model, Bubble, Change, Pumpkin, Kiwi, Road, America, Salt, Wheel, Shadow. Water
of those, my top 3 to start with would be:
Bubble -> Water -> Wheel
(for water, among other things there's the recent movie, the Shape of Water)

all for guessing mercury!
Peanut > Dance > Undertaker > Bridge I'd say. If we had been totally off track with these guesses, probably Jimmm would have done something riskier than giving a clue that only fits one word.

oh we weren't the starting team
So if I hadn't messed that up, we would have known that your two first guesses overlap since Peanut wasn't part of either. That implies Bridge has to be the guess. Then it's between Undertaker and Dance, so we might actually still pick dance. Or am I missing something?
oh we weren't the starting team
scola and I decided I wasn't allowed to remind you. I considered posting the updated board after Peanut (along with the "Blue goes first" message), but decided that wasn't okay either (ie posting the board mid-turn as a way to say "Stop and think guys").

Clearly the correct decision, and all blame there lies on us. I honestly never considered the volume of words and was more focused on the individual clues - which early on doesn’t impact much but towards the end I should’ve been more cognizant of the implications.
That said… (I’m going to post this without checking) - the clue was Fairytale: 4, yeah? Crown, Dwarf & Genie? What was 4? Even if I didn’t talk them into Glass, they were going Dance… both were Blue. We didn’t really have a 4th after that. Bridge? Undertaker?
I can totally see myself saying “alright y’all let’s go this! Two more words” and then giving the clue. In fact, I probably have done that. I don’t think of it as an infraction. Perhaps I am too lax?
A fairy tale, fairytale, wonder tale, magic tale, fairy story or Märchen is an instance of European folklore genre that takes the form of a short story.
Can also be spelled as one, so it was legal.

For String I alos wonder about DRESS.
The reason behind STAR is not just the movie, just that bodyguards generally guard important people, like movie stars.

My finger logic - isn't tying a string around your finger a thing people do in order to remember things?
OK, so:
eevee votes: prefer PASS, ok with FINGER
I vote: prefer FINGER, ok with PASS
Swowl, break the tie!
I can’t vote!
I can’t vote!
I’m dumb!
Lol
I’m sorry if this costs is but I think the best play is to pass here.

Ok, if it were me I think I'd do trip next. But I'm easy.
You can ruin your Figure.
I guess I just don't associate dress with ruin, like at all. Like sure you can ruin a dress, but you can also ruin a shed, a parachute, or a candle.
I suppose if we are going the ruin(s) route we could also consider Cross, like a Cross to mark a grave.

The thing is, if neither of our Sealing words have overlap with String and Skating, then our last word should fit both. And it seems less likely, but not impossible, that the Skating clue was for FIGURE and a previously clued word.
In that scenario, our 2nd sealing word should match one of the two...
Then again, MAIL isn't bad. But doesn't seem to fit String or Skating.
Finger did (barely?) fit String and Skating. So maybe, CANDLE, MAIL, and FINGER? But meh, I don't love it.
I do think we should lock in CANDLE.
skating and sting could both be TRIP? that could possibly be the overlap?

‘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.
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?

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.
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

/in for next. Or current if that’s allowed. Is “spectator” chat allowed?
This is the first real forum game I’ve /in’d, even though this account goes back to the beginning of DS. I own Codenames btw. Since we presumably have a shared Dominion background, are references from that encouraged/discouraged/neutral as clues for forum Codenames?
Jack?

So, what was the third WAY?
Flagpole was a really big-brain clue. Love it.Yeah, impressive showing!
Damn. Good clues. Really didn’t feel like we had any mistakes, and we were all on the same page - they just got there faster.

Yes, but "Outstanding in his field" is like a cliche, not just a collection of words.;D Why did the scarecrow receive an award?
Hm then again, if you do mean the person, extraordinary is a really good fit, better than field. Maybe I don't agree with myself.

Well done team!
The intended fourth for Moria was Candle. I hadn't considered Changed and I like the argument for it, but I think I still prefer Candle; it seems like a simpler connection - Moria is dark and that's what candles are for. All you had to know about Moria is that it's a dark Dwarf cave under a snowy mountain range. If I was to clue Moria for Change (with a different group), I would feel uneasy about the likelihood of them getting it. That Change was red was a stroke of luck, but it seems that flipping neutral would not have changed the result. Although I guess it's lucky that the unplanned 2 of Tuxedo/Candle was easy to clue.
I wasn't too worried about King, but was hoping that Army would flip early enough for the Moria clue.
For Outstanding, I knew there were other contenders, but it seemed like a safe 2 as long as someone knew the Field phrase, particularly the scarecrow joke. I was actually leaning towards Tuxedo as a third ("you look outstanding", and I was imagining a groom "standing" like a scarecrow), but I wasn't sure to what extent that was because I knew it was red, and including it seemed like an unnecessary risk given that I already had a plan for it.
The Tuxedo/Change clue initially was going to be Dressed, but I was a little concerned about Glove - it seemed plausible that you would see two types of clothing and assume it was them without considering "get changed" as a synonym for "get dressed", so I probably would have ended up going for Alteration, which seems safe enough.
Is it me and Swowl next?Too lazy to check, no objection!

I *think* the concern is to keep responses uniform if possible - so as to eliminate any possible telegraphing - ie. "Both Red" could be construed to mean "they're both red and words I intended in my clue", whereas "Red" could be construed to mean "this is also a red word, but wasn't one of the ones I meant to clue".
I certainly don't think there was anything intentional behind your response - but I would hazard to guess that is vidicate's concern.
Ok, convince me on dollar -- I'm not really seeing it.

Or it could genuinely just be concern over no possible confusion! That the first was clearly stating that the words were red, whereas the second response could indicate red, but could also indicate neutral - so it might not be clear!

My instinct is that he’s saying DON’T pick Snake. That there’s NO connection there.
Zero and Unlimited both give no limit on number of guesses.Changed to use the terminology from the rules. You still must make at least one guess.
Yeah, I know. But it's generally harder to guess things with a 0-clue, so I meant "does joth know we can also get unlimited guesses with a positive clue". Like I don't expect that we are supposed to find the ninth only in terms of what doesn't fit with slither.OK, I got you.
If Galz is awol, does anyone on blue team (or red team, for that matter) object to me sharing my thoughts at this juncture?

Hmm - I have my initial thoughts, but don’t love anything here.
Silver, Jimmm, do any answers jump out to you?
I could see Pupil (student, in general, though not particular to ‘Jazz’), South (associated with New Orleans, Southern US), Snap (I picture snapping silhouettes and people playing sax in my head), Wind (not a wind instrument, but you blow into a Sax)…
But for almost all of those, why Jazz over Saxophone? I don’t know. Don’t love any of the things coming to mind for me here.
Good game though. A more or less successful 5 should have given us enough room to maneuver a bad clue, but the fact that Blue was able to counter with a successful five of their own made our missteps deadly.
I would support subbing fang in for Galz.
The last 4 spymasters for Red: jonah > silver > Jim > jonah
ok then I'd say fang can be spymaster in the next round?Eevee for blue, me for red, and my team is silverspawn jotheonah Jimmmmm?

Welcome, fang! Good to have you. Codenames works wonderfully as a forum game—in some ways better than IRL. I see you already messed up; Red went first in the previous round. :P ;)Thanks. But I think the randomiser randomises which team goes first.

I've literally forgotten which team I'm on.joth is red
I'm ok with locking in FORCE then, unless we want to let swowl with in.
Why STAFF?
Guys, I’m off REINDEER at this point. My theory is that Mounties was to clue a police force specific to a location, and also I don’t think Reindeer have much to do with Canada. I could see myself using Rangers to clue Texas/Cowboy/Force but not Rattlesnake/Cactus. In other words my gut is saying Eevee could be going for things symbolic of the region and not necessarily random things that live there. My 4 or MAPLE, FORCE, STAFF, IGLOO.But with THIEF replacing IGLOO. Our wrong guesses further support my theory. STAFF is not red because of Disabled: 1. In fact the last red word has to be REINDEER; fang has been hoping we’d guess it I’m sure ;D
I think most of us are checking in daily.
Waiting for the missing players is what's making this so slowWhen you’re right, you’re right.
