There is an angel looking over you, even if you commit mass murder and need a lawyer.  :-X

Well, I think your set was harder this time. And we got lucky with my first clue, which wasn't meant to point to Roof at all, but instead to Check.

Which was a shame actually, I had such a nice follow-up clue in mind.

Also, having Berlin-Germany for opposite teams was harsh. Well I could think of a thousand clues that I associate with Berlin but not with Germany, but then I'm a German living in Berlin, so ugh, no idea how relatable they would be.

So we got three 3 clues, but for each one I really only got 2.  Apparently Angel was for Looking... what were the third words for Holsteiner and Aramoana?

Aramoana was Laywer. I don't think Holsteiner had a third, but he needed the number to give you enough clue to win. (Should just take "unlimited" in that case though)

Since it's in between a game, I guess I'll ask: When (let's say blue) gives a hint like Egg: 3 and the blue field operator guesses 3 things successfully, why do you assume they want the turn to end?

I didn't have anymore clues that I hadn't gotten the words already so there isn't too much of a point of me guessing further

What's the Lawyer connection?

Yeah, if you give a number then it means that there are that many words that apply.  This actually came up in the previous game as well.  We had 4 words to find, and I thought the most difficult ones left were Mount and England, so I gave the clue "Helvellyn".  Eevee got my intended words immediately, and "unlimited" should have been clue that Helvellyn didn't apply to more than 2.  If it worked for a third word, I could have just given "3" instead of "unlimited" since we'd still have the fourth guess from that.

Guessing randomly is more likely to help the other team than your own.  Unless you're already super far behind, you're less likely to hit your own colour than the combined chance of hitting the assassin, your opponents' word, or neutral.  Each of those cases is bad for you.  Assassin is instant loss, opponent's word is putting yourself a word behind, and neutral is one less word that could trip them up on their upcoming turn.

Yeah, both bad oversights by me. Although the shoe connection would have been hard to ignore once I found it.

Next time I'll know!
