## MISSION ACCEPTED e: for next time I guess! :haw:

Team discussion might need to work out some kinks to find a system that works. I think maybe whoever first proposes a guess should be the one to pull the trigger on it and make the actual matching ## GUESS [WORD] post after any discussion is done on it. Otherwise no one knows who has 'right of way' on a guess under discussion, so to speak.

vvv I was thinking more team communication agreement wise rather than rules-wise, but I'm probably putting the horse before the cart worrying about it.

^^ I think you mean ## COURT:4 :clint:

I'm thinking Dress, Lawyer, Cross (as in Examine), and Date (as in Court Date)

Two of the others I think could be "date", as in to court someone, and maybe "net", since it goes with a tennis/basketball/volleyball court.

Huh, I think you might be right about that - "Dress" might work for "law court" but "net" makes more sense with a different kind of court.

Come to think of it "Date" works both ways, as does "Dress" when I think of it. I'm pretty confident about "Date" but less so about pressing past that.

I feel like the 2nd word for the "Phantom" clue seems really obvious... but this from the losing Spymaster of game 1 may not mean anything.

I was thinking the same thing but I struck out on guess #2 :shepface:

Maybe TAIL rather than Giant, but giant is more consistent (being an actual organism instead of a part of an organism) but Giant could be considered imaginary, Tail isn't.

Kick this off with

## GUESS CELL (as in single-cell organism)

Nice! But what's the rationale behind guessing DATE for ORGANISM? It's something organisms do :confused:

It was a leftover guess from the first clue, Court.

I'm alright passing since we're 3 ahead right now.

Yeah let's ## PASS

By the way this game would totally suck to play against AIs. Every game would be like

:awesomelon:

APPARENTLY_RANDOM_WORD : UNLIMITED
:awesomelon:

<list of 5+ guesses>

If big batch of guesses pays off, play through with a lead too big for other team to overcome
If the big batch of guesses was a terrible bust, concede game
play again y/n?

One of our guesses should be "Net" (from former clue COURT)

I was thinking a whole different direction: there are three exactly words that "work" with Dear in the usual way "Dear" is used:

Dear Bill,
Dear Pilot,
Dear France,

:shrug:

Tail and tick work for past clue DEER I agree.

# ¿ Aug 16, 2015 20:04

The Eyes Have It: Feb 10, 2008; Third Eye Sees All
...snookums

I have no idea about #3 either if it's a repeat of DEER so it must have an alternate meaning rolled in, or is giving us an extra guess because we should have three solids at this point.

# ¿ Aug 16, 2015 20:07

The Eyes Have It: Feb 10, 2008; Third Eye Sees All

Recap:

COURT: 4 (not NET)
ORGANISM: 4
SAFARI: 3
DEER: 2
DEAR: 3

Tick and Tail do seem safe.

I'll guess then I will be without net access for rest of day.

## GUESS TAIL

If this does not blow up then tick next I say.

Fellow

We can play it safe and pass, or we can charge in guns blazing.

I suggest we guess BILL because it's the only word that works as a proper name, and would go with "Dear".

Deer:2 clue we know was Tail and Tick.
Dear:3 I think was both a re-clue for DEER, and I think the "extra" hint is to the one word that works as "Dear X,"

Thinking this of course I am naturally now certain of it :911:

Ignore past mistakes! Fortune favors the BOLD.

_{e: idk tho} <--- disclaimer in case I'm totally wrong and this blows up horribly :haw:

At least it wasn't the Assassin, our magic is useless against her :sweatdrop:

And at least a Bystander doesn't give the filthy Reds a point :sweatdrop:

e: I think this puts us at 7 to their 6, their move with a vanishingly small pool left.

If something bad happened, it was a pleasure engaging in a mutually assured destruction-esque game of chicken and stuff with you Reds.

I'm looking forward to buying this game, I want to try being a Spymaster :goleft:
