I wish I could stay up to see the result but I have to go to bed. Good game to everyone, unless we hit a bystander and the blue team also manages to hit one. In that case I think everyone wins regardless of the result.

Good game reds and victorious blues, i never doubted you :911:

Anyway, so i thought the game 1 spymasters were being very slow and steady with their clues so I was trying to go big every time here. I think it worked well but my mistake was SAFARI, I was trying to tie in the remaining animal words from ORGANISM with Field, but there was too much else going on with that word. I was aware of that and since those words were bystanders i wasn't concerned, but i didn't think about the fallout on another guess.

There's also the consideration that big clues wave the reds off of the blue words, but I think big clues are more fun also the thread title. Anyway, I can't wait to get this game.

Also drat this is an easy game to PBP, with three people being able to update game runs pretty fast!

Yeah I once again marvel at Vlaada's genius, this is the standout game of the year for me I think!

Do we need to apply again, or will you just choose from people who have joined? I know ExtrudeAlongCurve still very much wants to play.

ActingPower

Well, for as terrible as I thought that went, we managed to finish up with one clue left. So... thanks, guys, for actually doing pretty well despite my terrible clues! :v:

So, here's what I was thinking of for each of my clues.

PHANTOM 2: It was France all along. I don't know anything about planes. :sweatdrop:

ALARM 2: This one was, of all things, Pound. As in, "Pound the Alarm." It's a song. ...No? Darnit.

TREASURE 2: The other one was Giant. Remember the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk? Jack stole all his treasure.

And you got the rest exactly as I intended.

Oh, and the assassin was "Round." So when you were considering it for ALARM, I was sweatin' bullets over here.

EDIT: If I get to play in another round sometime... don't let me be the codemaster again.

Yeah, until you try it once, it's hard to know the challenges of putting together clues that don't link up to anything else on the board. I don't know about other people, but it comes very naturally to me to group up words that have some sort of link, despite them being ones I want to stay away from.

##MISSION ACCEPTED, get me in for whatever's good.

One of my iconic "gently caress we have a disconnect here" was when my spymaster clued GARDEN and I immediately went "OCTOPUS duh!!! The Beatles song!!! "

It was the other team's and my spymaster looked at me like "what the poo poo."

Basically I love this game so drat much.

That definitely would have been my second guess. I was discouraged by when I hosed up with "face" and wanted to avoid trying another logical sequence.

My workplace plays a lovely white trash top 40 station (ALL THE HITS WITHOUT THE BLACK PEOPLE RAP!) so Nicki Minaj never would have crossed my mind. I also have a tendency not to actually learn the names of pop songs I hear.

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.

But then I noticed Lead and Part which probably makes more sense?

I was feeling Lead as well. Wasn't feeling Part, even though it's on the same wavelength, though, I guess it'd make sense.

I agree, at first I was looking at jobs (solider, doctor, etc) but lead and part make too much sense, and it's the correct number of guesses provided.
