Bleh - lol. I don’t love either, but lean Model.

I’m just trying to think if you might pair {Model, Ace} or {Field, Ace} differently than “Outstanding”.

Ehhhh - and then, I still feel like it could be 6 other things! 😆

Alright. Alright. Let’s try Field 🤞

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.

I was thinking Model as in a person, or the profession, yes.

Ace is good, but I don’t like King - both tie to playing cards and Outstanding wouldn’t have been the clue.

There are a bunch of mediocre options for the second word though, with nothing really standing above the rest.

I would be fine going Field second. I also think Model and Parade are pretty decent second guesses.

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.

I like plastic for sure.

I’m on the fence about Diamond & Mud. If it’s both it doesn’t matter, but if it’s only one (where there’s an overlap with Cleanse) then we should do Mud first.

So I think I like confirming Mud, and then going after what should hopefully be a Red or Neutral Diamond, or we could even consider passing there knowing we can hold it in our back pocket for next turn if needed (although I’m not convinced that’s the best play).

Cool. Not gonna hold things up - I think we all agree on Sink -> Pass and if we’re wrong, so be it.

Bath -> Soul

I think I agree with Sink third, could see Mud too. I would hope at worst it would be neutral.

Both of those and either TEAR, as you can tear a card in half or into pieces… or probably preferred TIME as in a Timecard that an hourly worker would clock in and out on. A dated reference, somewhat, but a solid connection nonetheless.

Still reading / putting together my thoughts & answering questions posed to me. Have like 6 different notepads open right now 🤣. I’m about 4 hours into it - I’ll finish up in the am.

Sorry - weekends are almost always a no-post time for me due to work, and this weekend was particularly draining … and then I honestly just completely forgot about this today (haven’t even been on forums). I haven’t read anything since end of day yesterday. Will catch up in the morning.

vote: math.

Right now, I’m 100% sheeping EFHW.

I would be honestly surprised to see both WCD & Joth as town, but I’m really quite honestly not sure which I find scummier.

Fang… here’s the thing. I like a LOT of the effort put in by him. But… I also feel like EFHW is digging at a level deeper than I am, and she keeps coming up with reasons to be suspicious of him - reasons that, when I read them, make a whole lot of sense to me.

…. Where’s Space when you need them? I could really use some coded pairs voting analysis right now. 😩

Unvote

Won’t have much time to get to this until Monday. Still chewing over my thoughts on WCD. [Fang, Joth, Scola, e, MiX, math] are the others outside of WCD that I’m feeling off feelings for due to one thing or another. I know that list is pretty big, but it leaves EFHW, Swowl & Gkrieg as being more townie than not to me right now, and that’s at least something for me to help calibrate.

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?

Who is up next??


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?

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.

‘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.

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!

You say you had found faust more grumpy/adament/cranky (which is town!faust).

I was *highly* suspicious of faust when he didn’t rage!vote my Mathdude vote towards the end of the day (his response is at #465). I had read and caught up, analyzed my preference to Wagon, etc. A small part of my singular vote after the prod was to see how faust reacted.

What’s your take on his reaction to my vote (but not really post)?

So did you not think that Math was the best of the options? like did you forego voting your best skum read just to get a reaction from faust by voting math?

Does “a small part of my singular vote” read “just to get a reaction from” to you?

As stated, I had caught up at that time. I had looked at the wagons, looked at the arguments for each of the wagons, looked at who was on all of the wagons, and I made my decision that given less than 8 hours to deadline, with the vote at Dylan (4), Math (4), and 2.718 (2) (myself included), I preferred a math Exile to Dylan, so I voted there. It was after 10:00pm my time, the 2.718 wagon didn’t look like it was coming back, and I was UNlikely to be able to contribute anything in the morning.

The choice to post vote itself, as a singularity, with nothing else attached, was a direct attempt on my part to get a read on faust - because I feel like when he’s town he’s much more likely to rage!vote me there (even if just done to express his frustration before moving his vote back to where he wants it). The fact that he did NOT do that left me suspicious of him.

yeah, gkrieg's suggestion I vote WCD already to X-1 seems sketch.

WCD, what's your reasoning for thinking I'm scum? Is it just my lack of posting D1?

Is it sketch if WCD is scum? Or only if she's town?

But I'm really confused about why fang left the math wagon for e. He'd been pushing a math exile all day and when Galzria joined, it made the numbers math (5), Dylan (4), e (1), Didds (1) and scola (1).

joth leaving and MiX moving his vote yielded math (4), Dylan (4), e (2), and scola (1). There were still 4 people who could vote math, even if no one on the Dylan wagon wanted to switch. Why give up so quickly? And would math lose that tie?

This is our discussion about it:
vote: e
Mostly just to take out the "blame-free" self-preservation option for Dylan.
(Which is the reason e and mathdude joined the Dylan wagon yesterday, I assume.)
Why not just vote Dylan?
I'm not following your reasoning here.

If any of these three wagons (Dylan, e or mathdude, or any other wagon that materialises) is on scum, then we're getting good info here from people's reactions as we approach deadline.

When I turned up an hour ago (escaped from my parallel universe), no-one had said anything in like half an hour, so it seemed like things would just stay as they were, and Dylan would show up, vote mathdude, no responsibility attached because it would have been self preservation.

So it was in that context.
Since then everything has kicked off, which is probably good.

But fang seemed like he really wanted to exile math. Even if Dylan's vote was self-preservation, fang should expect that we would catch scum. Totally worth it. And if he thought Dylan was scum, too, or also likely, why vote e? I'm missing something here.

Interesting food for thought.
