Codenames for Suckers

Skyscraper
Pyramid
Satellite

Red x 3

I continue to struggle with how drill fits. We didn’t discuss post at all, which probably works best of the remaining words on the list. If we only had three words left, then clueing unlimited makes sense (guess two and then the 2nd on the list). But given the way the clues went, he needed to signal that tag wasn’t ours (so no structure - 3), but also needed to let us know that structure was more than just the two obvious words. So, if post is ours, going structure - unlimited could’ve been tough because he’s leaving info off the table that ultimately led us to satellite and would reinforce post.

I’m just struggling with post fitting way more for me here than drill.

Isn't a structure something that's built out of multiple things? A post seems too simple to be called a structure.

A drill certainly has more of a structure feel to it.

Could drill be the structure word that isn't hospital related?

I would say structures have a lot of posts in them, not that a post itself is a structure. And sure, drill could be just for structure, just very thin. It’d be a shame if the least clear hit on the clue happens to be the one word that wasn’t clued with hospital.

I’m fine sticking with drill since we’d talked most about it up until now. I was just bringing up post as an option we hadn’t discussed.

We could go

Drill

Post

Or

Post

Drill

Whichever you prefer, we can go for it. I can see cases for both

We just need one more

Yeah

So drill with post as a backup or vice versa

I got this wrong, was thinking post had been bolded ahead of drill.

structure - 3 = skyscraper/pyramid/satellite/tag

structure - unlimited = skyscraper/pyramid/satellite/drill

structure - 4 = skyscraper/pyramid/satellite/???

We don’t need a backup if we have one word left. If we miss, he just clues the final word. Time to move things along.

Drill

Drill is neutral

hospital - 8
body - 3
structure - 4

Alien
Beach
Chocolate
Grace
Ketchup
Mint
Paper
Plane
Post
Pumpkin
Shoe
Strike
Tag
Tooth

Nurse
Bed
Center
Chest
Arm
Skyscraper
Pyramid
Satelitte

Thumb

Tail
Drill

It - 0

ok so we're gonna have to yolo some words here

It-0 suggests both post and tag aren't ours

maybe strike too? like strike it? idk

we still need 3 for body

next on our list that wasn't tag would be
tooth
beach
alien

shoe was also on our list so maybe discount it

Chocolate
Grace
Ketchup
Mint
Paper
Plane
Pumpkin

^that leaves 4 blue words in this list right here

I don’t get this

It is the clown horror movie; he capitalized It

Not sure what to remove

Oh they are one away

This is to clue away from entire list and us to pull out a miracle

I dont know what you mean by "clue away from entire list"

We still need 3 for body

I haven’t gotten to pc to start figuring this out yet but what I mean is we need 7 words this turn

Usually 0 clue is to clue off 1-n words from our list so you mostly stick to your list other than words that hit the 0 clue

But this time we need 7 so it’s gonna clue away from non-list words also and we’ll have to pick the best 7

Our list was:

Tooth
Tag - tag you’re it, so no (also another movie name; surprisingly fun movie)
Beach
Alien - famous movie like It, so not ours
Shoe

So tooth beach shoe can be our 3 body words

But then we need 4 more

4 of these:

Chocolate
Grace
Ketchup
Mint
Paper - movie starts with boy’s paper boat floating down rainy street into the gutter where It awaits
Plane
Post - no, Post Its
Pumpkin - Halloween word and It is a Halloween (Horror) film
Strike - strike it

So 5 words don’t really hit It and we need 4 of them:
Chocolate
Grace
Ketchup
Mint
Plane

They got 3/4 structure words so we could eliminate plane

That would leave us with 7 words with no connection to It or structure, including 3 that work for body:

Tooth
Beach
Shoe
Chocolate
Grace
Ketchup
Mint

My only concern is Grace for hospital, but it’s not a structure word so I think doesn’t matter because they have one word left and only got 3/4 structure words

Sorry for taking this long, Christmas has been busy

I've never seen It but we need a Christmas miracle here so happy to go along with you.

if you are happy to bold that list go for it.

Tooth
Beach
Shoe
Chocolate
Grace
Ketchup
Mint
Bottles

Nope :( we needed a miracle because Tag was the assassin lol

I was hoping Nich would remember back in the c0denames days I liked to do a 0 clue to clue away from a specific obvious word (in this case Tag) but also clue towards other words with the same clue, so Tag (and Post which I completely missed) would be the obvious word to miss out then the last 2 words had weak connections to It (Paper for the book and Pumpkin for the horror/Halloween connection)

The rest of your first list was all blue, the other body word was Plane as airplanes have bodies

We had no chance of winning from the start, GG red 😃
