So I'm thinking RUMBLE was the clue for SOUND, ENGINE, TRAIN, and maybe PITCH?

BIOFUEL was the clue for ENGINE, CELL, and FARM?

So I'll probably guess PITCH as my extra guess this time. I guess it could've been FIGHTER, like let's get ready to rumble.

I guess MILK is also a BIOFUEL of sorts?

Let's try a proper noun... Madam Pomfrey: 2

Isn't that illegal though? The rules say one word.

I was also debating a 2 word clue that's just one thing, and didn't go with it.

eHalcyon · « **Reply #181 on:** March 10, 2016, 01:36:02 pm »

We agreed to allow proper nouns though, which includes multiple word proper nouns. It's in the rulebook! Maybe we should have clarified that better, but gkrieg did in the last game too (the Brazilian region name) and nobody complained.

The key thing is that the word as a whole must be considered. For example, I could not use "Harry Potter: 2" as a clue for Truman and Clay.

Eevee · « **Reply #182 on:** March 10, 2016, 01:40:35 pm »

I'm changing my mind about this, just because it seems mostly redundant. You could have just said "Pomfrey" here, just as "Watson" worked as a clue for me well enough, there was no need for John Watson or Mr Watson.

I don't really care either way, but I think I'll stick to shortening my multiple word proper nouns. Giving clues is easy enough when playing over the internet anyways.

silverspawn · « **Reply #183 on:** March 10, 2016, 01:44:00 pm »

You're right, it is in the rules. I withdraw my point.

eHalcyon · « **Reply #184 on:** March 10, 2016, 01:49:35 pm »

The rulebook gives the following examples:

George vs. George Washington
George vs. George W. Bush (note that shortening to just Bush has a big difference in meaning)
The Three Musketeers
New York

Do you want to remove multiple word clues entirely? Remove them mostly, but with some exceptions (like place names)? I don't mind either way; I was just following the precedent we had set. FWIW, Eevee is right that it's redundant in this case.

silverspawn · « **Reply #185 on:** March 10, 2016, 01:52:54 pm »

I'd say persons and places, but otherwise one word?

Or, what about movie titles and such?

Re: specific rules for proper nouns, I'm OK with anything. I'd prefer place names to be allowed (even though I probably wouldn't use them much because I'm bad at geography). If it's easier, we could restrict everything else in future games?

I thought Dinosaur was a great clue. I was thinking of something along similar lines for Blue, though somewhat more specific.

Uhh...
