Not sure if DSell was wanting to throttle me for using "Quiet." I could only think of more synonyms, and I felt that would have beaten the word to death. I tried something different, which is difficult to do when you can only give one word.

No "quiet" was a great clue. But it's really hard to know whether it's a descriptor or a synonym or some other sort of associated word without context. We'll get it yet, though!

A question: It seems that rules do not stop the first clue giver to give the PASSWORD as a CLUE. Is this intentional?

No, that's a small oversight. It should say that you can give any word as a clue except the password itself (and probably any words that share the same root, although man that would be a dumb clue).

Yeah I updated the rules for Password II, and I'll do so now.

No use of the PASSWORD or variant thereof as the CLUE, and guessing a variant of the PASSWORD is good enough.

Score

Sorry about that theory, I though about mantis but it was a second thought and I hate going against my gut.

theory · « **Reply #63 on:** December 13, 2012, 02:00:08 pm »

By the way Dsell, that was a really good Password

Not your fault Insomniac, I took a big risk with that clue.

Dsell · « **Reply #64 on:** December 13, 2012, 02:02:26 pm »

Thanks! I was hoping for one that would be vague after the first clue and perfectly clear after the second.

You gave the clue I hoped you would.

It's risky, though, because Insom could definitely have gotten it!

Working on a clue.

Dsell · « **Reply #65 on:** December 13, 2012, 02:04:55 pm »

Clue: Li

Ozle · « **Reply #66 on:** December 13, 2012, 02:15:54 pm »

Am I allowed to point out I got it from Praying as well?

Kuildeous · « **Reply #67 on:** December 13, 2012, 02:16:27 pm »

*blink blink*

K: Li Jet

Dsell · « **Reply #68 on:** December 13, 2012, 02:19:29 pm »

Back in the lead, my friend!

theory · « **Reply #69 on:** December 13, 2012, 02:24:56 pm »

Damn it! I thought I had it for sure with a second clue of Boeing (or possibly Tebow).

Score

Team B: 19

K give a clue to I

Dsell · « **Reply #70 on:** December 13, 2012, 02:26:25 pm »

Yeah that was a stellar guess. Knew it was a risky clue.

Insomniac · « **Reply #71 on:** December 13, 2012, 02:28:53 pm »

I would have definetly got it off of boeing/tebow

Kuildeous · « **Reply #72 on:** December 13, 2012, 02:36:20 pm »

My first thought was Chun, but I knew that wasn't a word.

Well, it's a proper word.

Insomniac · « **Reply #73 on:** December 13, 2012, 02:43:10 pm »

CLUE: Binary
