Plastic?

silverspawn · « **Reply #201 on:** March 10, 2016, 08:49:34 pm »

is red!

Yay! Man my guessing was off on that one. But we made it through!

Full grid:

ENGINE	FLY	SPELL	DEATH	CLIFF
PITCH	WIND	POOL	MAIL	CELL
SOUND	FIGHTER	MILK	PASS	TRAIN
LONDON	PLASTIC	WEB	SPINE	DISEASE
MICROSCOPE	TAIL	SHOE	LEPRECHAUN	FARM

Rumble was for Fighter. I knew that Pitch would be a possible catch, but I didn't think Wind would be.

silverspawn and I were both confused that Eevee picked London for Fall. The intended answer was Death. I don't know about silverspawn, but I'm still confused. My best guess is either you think London is particularly beautiful in the Fall, or Fall > Skyfall > James Bond > British > London. Or maybe you had just gotten Fly and were thinking of the iconic Heathrow Airport?

My specific clue idea for blue was Thagomizer, the name for dinosaur tail spikes.

I had so many ideas that just had some bad overlaps. Some examples:

Surgery: 2 for Plastic and Disease, but then Death and Spine could be catches for that.
League of Legends: 3 (or MOBA or DOTA or something) for Fighter, Spell and Farm, but then Web and Death seems like a major ones for that.
Cleric: 3 (or maybe Paladin) for Fighter, Spell, maybe Disease. But the magical aspect could lead to Leprechaun. I ended up landing on Madame Pomfrey.
Electric: 3 for Engine, Cell and Farm, but I thought that might be a tough connection for Farm and went with Biofuel, which didn't work anyway.

Good game! That had some great back and forth there.

Blue goes first

CLOUD	COURT	VET	CHAIR	PILOT
ANGEL	DINOSAUR	ROCK	CHANGE	MOON
LEPRECHAUN	THUMB	ALPS	STRIKE	IRON
FAIR	DOCTOR	CZECH	HOOD	COOK
STADIUM	PAPER	BERRY	CROWN	CHICK

There is a movie called London Has Fallen that just came out, that's why I guessed fall for London.

You are blue right?

Eevee · « **Reply #207 on:** March 11, 2016, 06:45:00 am »

prescription: 2

Doctor

Eevee · « **Reply #209 on:** March 11, 2016, 07:35:32 am »

doctor is blue

Court and pass

Eevee · « **Reply #211 on:** March 11, 2016, 01:10:03 pm »

court is red :S

silverspawn · « **Reply #212 on:** March 11, 2016, 01:20:49 pm »

... ?

eHalcyon · « **Reply #213 on:** March 11, 2016, 02:00:04 pm »

I don't get the Court connection, but I see a few other connections that seem plausible to me...

(Edit: this, I guess?)

So, before it comes up again, what are we saying about proper nouns with multiple words? Or does nobody care one way or the other?

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #214 on:** March 11, 2016, 02:59:04 pm »

animal:4

I think it's OK for us to talk as long as the spy masters are staying out of it and we're not saying stuff like, "I associate X with Y, so keep that in mind when you make clues".

But err on the side of caution, I guess.

Next guess: Vet

silverspawn · « **Reply #220 on:** March 11, 2016, 03:49:37 pm »

oh right, you're not a spymaster.

well, I'm not a native, I only know the word prescription for a few weeks, because sanders keeps using it. so-- I looked it up, and it immediately gave me the meaning in law and the one in medicine, so I assumed they're used equally.

although... I thought the alternative was... Vet?

Eevee · « **Reply #221 on:** March 11, 2016, 04:13:51 pm »

vet is red..

I think the legal explanation totally works, it's just one that I'm unfamiliar with. Vet was one of the more plausible ones to me, but it's also a strong animal association. I think I know which one Eevee intended now.

Next guess: Chick

And if it's red, I'll still pass. I could guess at #4, but I'm not as sure as I am with these 3.

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #223 on:** March 11, 2016, 04:29:38 pm »

CHICK is RED

Eevee · « **Reply #224 on:** March 12, 2016, 08:15:57 am »

item: unlimited

sorry, I couldn't think of anything to connect these words at any point.
