This was supposed to be denominator/difficulty. I knew economics was a possible guess but was hoping that you'd avoid it because I didn't say Statistics or some other math more closely related

You got it, difficulty and decision.

I was thinking of using "abortion" for the same but thought it was a *little* too RSP. Also didn't want you guessing street.
Title: Re: Codenames VII
Post by: Jorbles on March 26, 2016, 01:08:12 pm
Yeah, I always seemed to zig when you wanted me to zag.

Calculus/Economy was something I think I didn't think about carefully enough. I was just thinking of applications of calculus and it seemed like the obvious one. I also thought it might have been Difficulty (because calculus is hard) that would have been fine it turns out. I should have thought about how you might have picked something more obvious if you'd been trying to connect it to Economy.

Pilot I thought you and I were both super clever for coming up with the pilot light connection. I thought it had to be the right answer, but oops.

Mode, the Manner guess was in connection to "Mode & Manners", a common if old-fashioned saying.

I'm glad you always went aggressively though and tried to get at least two at a time. Giving two away though made the game really close and let them play a lot safer. Bad luck that I constantly narrowed it down to two things and then picked the one that turned out to be blue. But when I missed one it gave me the chance to guess at the one I missed later in the game.

I know you're just cracking a joke, but please refrain while the game is ongoing. You might help players make connections they hadn't thought of. (Or make it look like they got help from you when they would have come to that conclusion themselves without your help.)

Oh I hadn't thought about that. I was trying to get you to guess dice. Damn I tried so hard to keep away from hinting at stream.

My previous hints were supposed to be:
Rogue: Thief, Dice (still not sure what made you guess Alien, but that was lucky)
California: America, Hollywood, Mexico (I didn't think of Hotel California, but should have considered it, no great loss here.)
Plane: Helicopter, Point, Link (Link was a long shot here, but I was thinking worst case scenario you know that there's something kinda related to planes out there and you guess Ground)

Oh, right. What's the link between Tijuana and dice?

Just gambling in general seems to fit into Tijuana stereotypes. It wasn't a perfect clue but we were so far behind I had to take a stab at it.

Stream is... THE DOUBLE AGENT!


You mean the assassin.

The double agent is the ninth codename for the team that goes first.

So hitting the double agent would have won us the game too, but in the online version we don't know who the double agent is.

BAT

Hold it.

I have to reconsider.

If the baseball coach is meant, there is no word I see which necessitates to make the hint more specific than "baseball". Also, complete name is fair game but no 1st name was given.

Hence, I'll continue with LAWYER, which fits the criminal as well as the Dascenzo clue. Though I am not a fan of multiple clues before the last round.

Ohhhh I was going to do that no matter what. You could have said Jack Bruce: 1 and I would have made the same guesses minus Stadium.
