Remember to use hashes and bold! Also, don't say poo poo like that, it can provide information even if you don't know it. Just the clue and the number. ##backseatmodding

Whoops, missed the formatting on the clue submissions. Fixed!

You revealed a Bystander, so our turn ends. At least it wasn't a :911:

agent right?!

Team :911:

is up for a clue!

e: beaten!

Red clue,

## POKER : 2

## PROBLEM : 2

Merauder: Apr 17, 2003; The North Remembers.

Yeah, I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out the best approach, but it's not looking too good. Going to go with,

## CHILDREN : 0

(so that's 0 words associated with Children, unlimited guesses- go for broke team!)

Man, trying to associate our team's words together was super hard. @_@

Our remaining words were Invalid, Concentration, Desert, and Squeeze

For Construction-2, I was going for Concentration (you have to concentrate to build something right? Probably too broad.)

For Poker-2, I was making another go at Concentration while I had something else I could still link it to.

At Problem-2 I was really starting to...well...have a problem linking stuff well, and went for linking nuisance and Invalid (something invalid is a problem...I guess?!)

On the last one, as Gutter Owl mentioned the blue team had one softball of a word left to get so we had to get EVERYTHING in one shot. I was trying to link at least 3 of the remaining 4 together to give a chance at getting them all, but look at those last 4 words! What could/should I have done? So I went with the "just don't guess the Assassin word" clue and made it a free-for-all. :v:

Fun times regardless! Thanks GU for organizing and for all the sweet pictures!

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. :downs:

Was the second game completely random words again, or were they taken from the actual game? I think there's something to be said for the selection in the box and a lot of the crossover in terms it has, versus a total random list.

# ¿ Aug 19, 2015 22:14

Merauder: Apr 17, 2003; The North Remembers.

I love how so many words in this game are homographs, and how so often the spymaster and the rest of the team are clearly on different pages regarding a single word. :v:

I'll hop back into the queue, for the Red team preferably. I think it's time to try to get the Reds a win for once!

Alright comrades, this is the one. Now is the time for our glorious rise to power. Do not fret for our fallen brothers in arms; their deaths will not have been in vain. :ussr:

Theater - obviously
Rock - as in "and Roll", performed on stages.
Model - a catwalk is kind of like a stage as said above? Feels like a stretch.
Game - eSports are on a stage? Maybe? Also a stretch.

No idea what else. Let's start with ## GUESS: THEATER, and wait for more input.

Merauder: Apr 17, 2003; The North Remembers.

So between England, Rock, Model, and the others mentioned, what do we think is best second guess? After this I think a pass might be in order and we hold onto the 3rd Stage clue for later bonus guesses (assuming we get second guess right :v:

)

# ¿ Sep 2, 2015 22:07

Merauder: Apr 17, 2003; The North Remembers.

I guess I'm feeling like doing ##GUESS: ROCK since it was more where I went initially. Model feels like a big maybe to me, and if we're already leading I think it's safer to just pass after this one and keep Model for a possible future add-on word.

Holy poo poo what happen
I'm apparently terrible at Internet Codenames, and way better at it in person. Or something. Thanks for the gracious restart!

Should be Pyramid and Roulette. I am not jumping out on these though, as I am a bit gun-shy after last time.

Coincidentally, I just spent all week in Vegas for a work thing. Never actually visited the Luxor though, on my to-do for next time. :rolldice:

Hard ## PASS. Was sweating bullets enough that the second guess was right! Hopefully the team agrees.

Tablet and Pipe I'm thinking?

# ¿ Sep 5, 2015 07:14

I'm thinking Beat and Iron for other words. Thoughts, comrades?

##GUESS: IRON

Definitely a ## PASS.

I can't say I would have begrudged either a pass or a Hail Mary guess.

We could have gone for one more, but odds were we would hit a neutral and just make Blue's next clue that much easier (potentially). And then of course there's the chance we hit a blue word, or worse yet the Assassin again. Isn't worth the risk I think, even if they have a potentially easy clue here.

Generally: You guys need way more racism to play this game: "hood" was meant as "place where black people live and commit crime", and obviously all Mexicans are criminals too. Similarly, cleaning staff are obviously Mexican. I guess not being racist is good in general though.

Playing IRL the other day a guy gave the clue "BACK : 2".
His words were "Seat", and "Wet". His team did not correctly guess them, and we're okay with that. :v:
