##STAGE: 3

Obviously Theater.

I also feel good about England (Shakespeare) and Model (catwalks are stages right?). It might also be Princess because that is a role on stage potentially. But will leave others to chip in thoughts.

I vote we guess Theater first for sure though, comrades.

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.

Game makes sense to me in the video game sense.

Rock and Pass also stick out to me in the concert sense (rock concert and backstage pass).

gently caress, Rose works too if you think about a curtain call.

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:

)

I'm feeling Rock.

ExtrudeAlongCurve: Oct 21, 2010; Lambert is my Homeboy

I was totally steered by theater in my other choices but Rock could definitely make sense. I'm leaning a little more towards Model so Merauder, please break the tie.

I agree with either a pass or the other of Rock and Model as the next move.

# ? Sep 2, 2015 22:48

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.

I think it's only fair that team blue gets to play again seeing as they didn't actually take any turns.

edit: Apparently Model -> pass was the only correct play for us.

Y'know, that's fair. Half the people in the queue were in a game a friggin day ago. We'll restart with the same teams, though Red Spymaster duty will be rerolled.

Attention noble and right thinking citizens of the People's Republic. We would like to address the rumors of the so-called "Rock Incident." As a quick Google search will readily show, no such incident has occurred in the history of our nation. Those anti-revolutionary intellectuals who claim to have seen the bombs or nuclear fire in person have been collected for their own safety, and are presently being cured of their hallucinations in a safe reeducation camp.

If you detect that you have begun to glow at night, or have an unusual number of limbs, the Party asks you to consider the possible subversive effects of capitalist propaganda on your perceptions. As you will no doubt conclude, you have merely been misled: the Chairman would never allow you to be put in such danger. Please proceed with your lives and duties as normal.

##MISSION ACCEPTED. I'd prefer non-spymaster. I was afraid that I might become too busy before this comes back around, but we seem to be going very quickly. If it turns out I am too busy, I will let you know.

Also, if :china:

proves to not be able to step to it, we should bring the fight to the real enemy...

Aston posted:

Theatre, model, and and organ or possibly crane. I was waffling between set/scene/stage/diorama on that angle or trying to get more than two words to click with something else, but i was having trouble on our particular list without hitting blue words/bystanders. For some reason rock as in the music completely escaped my view of the guesses which i blame thinking about this for about 2 minutes on my lunch. I think it is way easier to spymaster online because you can think about it a much longer time but i decided not to do that for some reason :v:

Thanks for restarting GO

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:

Those were my first picks too so I'll at least put pyramid in since that is not ambiguous at all.
