I was worried about that one. Neutral. Valiant effort though. Take it away, Blue Team.

No comment on whether this is correct or not, but I do wonder if a different clue would have been better. I shared a bunch of ideas with silverspawn because I just wanted to get them down somewhere. And I hadn't considered it earlier, but I realize now that this may have been a good time for a 0-clue.

So here's how I evaluate the situation right now:

I've given a clue to cover every word already, but some are a stretch. I think London is well covered by Pub. Head is OK-ish. It's covered by "Frosty" and "Pub", which were both stretches but there are two! Frosty was originally supposed to be "Frosty the Snowman > hat on head" but gkrieg guessed Tap, probably thinking of beer. In that sense, Frosty still works for Head and I decided to lean on that further with Pub. So I hope that's OK.

Centaur is iffy. The intention was to get it with Sauerbraten (traditionally made with horse meat). Card is also a little iffy because Cover has maybe even a stronger connection to Pub.

So I really want a clue to hit Centaur and Card. From the start, I really wanted to go with Dumbledore: 3 to hit London, Head[master] and Centaur (for the magical connection and the big role they play in the series). I avoided it because of Fair. Now that I think about it more, it could have a Card connection (chocolate frogs) but there is also a danger with Tower. I was also considering Tarot, Divination, or Magic to touch on similar ideas, more strongly hitting Card (especially Tarot and Magic) but being weaker with other associations. Tarot has a problem in that it has a strong connection with Tower. Queen is another possible 3-clue but it doesn't hit Centaur, which I'm worried about, and could mislead to Fair as well.

I'm torn between trying for another 3 and hoping the previous clues are enough to guide away from the red herrings, or just giving a stronger clue for Card and Centaur (currently thinking, Stables: unlimited).

gkrieg's statement doesn't really affect my judgement because I know I've already covered everything but I also know that some things are a bit of a stretch. His statement doesn't tell me anything useful because he could easily be overconfident. It's easier for me to just judge based on my own intention and evaluation (Pool notwithstanding).

I think this is the final game for me. You can probably find a replacement if you want to continue after this one, though.
