Whoops, that should say:

DELTA: 2

cayvie · « **Reply #878 on:** March 25, 2020, 08:58:16 pm »

Huh. Triangle is obvious.

The only other one I see is Africa, referring to the Nile Delta. However I also feel like pyramid would be a more obvious triangle/Africa clue--except that would also indicate ruler as well I guess. So maybe that's where Delta came from.

Wanna start with triangle?

cayvie · « **Reply #879 on:** March 25, 2020, 09:01:28 pm »

Free association about Delta.

Delta is a Greek letter shaped like a triangle, when capital. Capital Delta means rate of change. Lowercase Delta is used in limits. Delta is an airline in the US. It also sometimes is a geographical phenomenon at the mouth of big rivers. The Nile, Amazon, and Mississippi all have famous deltas.

A deltoid is a muscle in the upper body. Shrug.

SUB	TRIANGLE	BOTTLE	BAT	WHIP
PISTOL	RULER	SHOP	JACK	NIGHT
LINE	DIAMOND	AFRICA	SWING	WALL
NINJA	TICK	MERCURY	MOUNT	SUIT
ANTARCTICA	GLASS	FAIR	ROOF	KNIGHT

DIAMOND is also a shape, and a diamond could be made with two Deltas stacked on top of each other.

And a ROOF is sort of Delta-shaped too.

What about SUB? Is there a math or physics thing. I know Delta is used in physics and I think they also use subscripts and sometimes refer to them out loud as "sub".

Honestly, I think AFRICA is the logical next choice.

Let's lock in TRIANGLE

Triangle is red.

cayvie · « **Reply #883 on:** March 26, 2020, 10:54:36 am »

AFRICA

scolapasta · « **Reply #884 on:** March 26, 2020, 10:58:32 am »

Africa is red.

pass? i feel like scola would have given us a 3 if he saw one

cayvie · « **Reply #886 on:** March 27, 2020, 04:09:34 pm »

actually, heck, i think the chances that jo posts and accidentally bolds a word that turns out to be the assassin are greater than the chances that we lose if we pass

I couldn't really see a situation where you didn't pass here, but also didn't want to go with a new clue until it was made formal.

Well.... now... uhhh.... give me a few.

Carnival: 3

Swowl · « **Reply #891 on:** March 29, 2020, 02:47:38 am »

so unfortunately I think Galzy made a woopsie here. I believe the rules state that we can only guess +1 the number he puts.

Alas, go down swinging.

Fair - because similar
Knight - because renaissance theme
Mount/Shop/Bottle

Then for Catwoman I think the ones we missed were:

Ninja and either Roof or Diamond.

Assuming Mount as the primary third pick...Alters to Mount:

SUB - makes no sense with anything. out.

Antarctica - makes no sense. out.

WALL - I think just plain out.

Mercury - Thermometers and the planet and the element. None of those make sense.

PISTOL - Because I think our first guess is Ninja/+1, I do not think that Mount can be replaced by Pistol (sometimes in carnivals) because G could of just said something like Weapons:4 and we would of easy got bat/whip/pistol.. and then either knight/ninja. Actually he could of put a 5 on it if all of those were ours... and I do think Knight is a Carnival word so pistol is out.

RULER - Like circus leader? Again I don't like this one because of crossover. First guess could of been like Tyranny o or something like that and we would get assumed Knight along with whip, diamond, pistol, so yeah idk if I like that one.

JACK - Like a jester? maybeeeeee?

and then..

SHOP - Carnivals have shops.

BOTTLE - Carnies like to drink.

MOUNT - like this the most. I think possible the line of though would be use synonym to FAIR to get us to FAIR to get us to jousting with KNIGHT and MOUNT.

SOOOOOOO (not that it matters I think lol) but... I would say:

Carnival is FAIR-KNIGHT-MOUNT
Catwoman is ROOF-NINJA

and then I have a theory on the last word, which on the extreme offchance that we get another turn, I am just gonna keep quiet for now, but yeah. That is 5. Obviously Diamond instead of roof could be a thing and Mount could be something else I guess. but if those 5 are right then it would put us at 7 and we need 8. and I think we can only guess 4 lol.

Galzria · « **Reply #893 on:** March 29, 2020, 01:23:59 pm »

fair is blue

Eevee · « **Reply #894 on:** March 29, 2020, 03:28:23 pm »

so two out of diamond/roof/ninja for catwoman. diamond i think is most likely

scolapasta · « **Reply #895 on:** March 29, 2020, 03:44:38 pm »

Diamond is neutral.

scolapasta · « **Reply #896 on:** March 29, 2020, 03:46:38 pm »

REPLACE: 1

cayvie · « **Reply #897 on:** March 29, 2020, 05:52:16 pm »

would that be SUB, like in substitute? that's all i see

jotheonah · « **Reply #898 on:** March 30, 2020, 09:15:11 am »

yeah, it's probably SUB

I supposed you also SHOP around for a replacement, so that's a distant possibility.

Sub ftw

scolapasta · « **Reply #899 on:** March 30, 2020, 12:00:33 pm »

Sub is red.

RED WINS!

(I almost went with Grinder:1, but I is that too much of a New England term?)
