Aw man, that was pretty awesome. I thought we needed a big play and spent a long time trying to think of something that could work. If only you had stuck with the airline theme and picked up tail number. Tag was totally reasonable though!

I think chandelier is fine.

Last Kelvin word was Candle, via Heat -> Fire.

I was going to do chandelier as my next clue for candle/arm, but I'm not sure if that would be allowed. I asked ehalc, but as the game is over now, I might as well ask all of you.

I think I would've allowed it. Although I think there are ways to get around it like with menorah

I thought it was pretty climactic at this point in the game.  I gave a weird kind of clue and Eevee managed to nail 3/4 of the ones intended.

Out of curiosity, Eevee, do you think you would have gotten Light with your last guess Tag had been correct instead of Tail?  Also, you can start the next game yourself. :)

No idea, I was just trying to get the 4 numbers first, and then look for the last one if I was still alive.

The clue. It's very reminiscent of red's first clue last game.

Ahhh.  I understand where you are coming from on that.  the more I play this game, the more I think that it is very luck driven even if it doesn't really seem that way.

oh and blue

I thought we agreed on single word clues and Dominion cards/events/landmarks only?

Ah, I thought it was excluding persons. Ehm. Hard to take it back now that you've seen it.

I'm fine with the clue.  I think that people are a good form of multiple words.  I think that maybe the names of places or events should be avoided.

Well, the point of excluding multiple words in general was because we were starting to get into increasingly obscure and specific clues.  This falls into the same trap -- I have no idea who Beatrice Martin is.  Granted, maybe she is actually super famous and it's just my bad. :P

I haven't looked her up yet so I can still just ignore it.  Otherwise, we could say that the rule isn't in effect until next game.

Yeah, it's very good that the default rule as written is "one word".  The slope is so slippery, best to just stay roped to the peak.

I think it helps you even if you don't google it, but I can reclue as well if that's what you guys think better.

If nobody says anything in the next ~90 minutes, I'll just use the clue and we can bring in the stricter single-word rule next game.

I forgot to post, but that was what I meant to suggest.

OK, well, Pirate.

As it turns out, I recognize her stage name from somewhere but I have no idea when I might have heard or read it.
