Yay!!!

That was -really- close, and I honestly thought we had no chance with the clues you gave!

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

What was your last Defenses? When you posted the clue I told Swan “That’s game, we lose. Tower, Wall, Mail. Easy 3.”

Wow, another good one! Great clues, both.

So, even if we had gone with our probable 2nd choice of web, we would've lost. What's that leave, pitch?

Whew! That certainly wasn’t easy. Their last word was electric.

Yeah I was playing around maybe a little much. When I gave balrog, I only had 4 in mind, and I was like, what'll happen if I say five? I basically wanted y'all to guess until you hit a neutral, except I missed change.

The final word was electric. I was thinking elevator as a clue for electric/tower/wall but I was worried about press. Which of course I realized had already been guessed as soon as I gave my final clue.

For my second clue, I was really wracking my brain to come up with a fantasy clue that wouldn't trigger witch or dice

I considered spelling it defence in order to make people think of electric fence even more.

I elected for the plural defenses in order to imply a larger scale than just defending one person, to hopefully avoid mail. I didn't think electric would be so far down the list

Oh man, I got there I just didn't trust my instincts!

Very well played cayvie, awesome clues. I think we just outsmarted ourselves a little there at the end.

spelling it defence would have been clever and might have worked, but I think it also might have run afoul of the official rules, which discourage punning/using multiple meanings of a word.

just to clarify - the new rule is like "if a player doesn't know the word they may look up the defn of it, but that is it"?

That’s what I went with last game.
