Regular Run of the Mill NO LIST Codenames!
Post if you want in, ideally 8 people but the normal game - guess your stuff and ideally go fast bolding away a guess at a time(Snapguess + guess + etc). Spirit of the game is to just bold away at what you think, keep 0-1 max backup and go quick.

Will clue tomorrow morning
Golden - 3
the only reason for capitalization i can come up with atm is lab for golden retriever
dollar/pyramid would be my other two
then france and.... delta? for luftwaffe. there should be some type of plane connection for that clue. with helicopter being wrong, delta or drop seem like the only good options, but the drop clue would probably be different imo
Drop for drop bombs?
Unsure on delta
Or power?
Agree on your 3 but i can see all of delta drop power
Also france is a deffo 4th at which point we stop anyway?
I think we'll have to win next round so can look then
I can buy golden is for lab, the other retriever
Other option is kid for Golden Child, the oft forgotten 80s Eddie Murphy movie
Power is good for first clue but not a word on the list
I like key for golden
can make an argument that we should save france and try to get more info on the fourth word
assuming we're still alive obv
key is def a good option for golden, but i lean pyramid since they're all golden while only some keys are
start with dollar and lab?
Lab
Dollar
Pyramid
France
Guess helicopters weren’t a big military thing at that time; more in later wars?
Obvious other makeup word since helicopter not ours but we can only guess 4 and it’s no list so I say we just bold these four and move on
since it is no list, wouldn't it be better to narrow down the 4th luftwaffe word instead of guessing a gimme?
gives us a better chance to close it out next turn, which we'll have to do
He expects us to makeup France so we should prolly do that
This is why I don’t like this variant; no reason we shouldn’t be able to say our top makeup word since helicopter was wrong
That’s very different than giving a 5 word list of options
yeah, i think we should play differently in this variant at certain points, with this being one of them
france is always ours, so we should either guess it first or not at all
if we could get to 7 this round, i'd 100% guess france. but since 6 is our max, i'd rather guess drop or delta... don't even care which one. drop is prob safest since he could have been avoiding powder with luftwaffe
if y'all want to be super safe tho, just move france to first (or at least above pyramid) and i'm good with the above 4
Not always ours because not n-1
He just wasn’t worried about it enough to move us away
Def not guessing it first
If you wanna not guess it this round then I guess in this variant that may be OK
Since we don’t have words behind it since no list, it’s not like it’s a neutral blocker that he wants us to guess this turn to open up the unlimited behind it
So we can knock France off this turn and guess a different makeup if you want
Thing is- if France is a "Definite" aren't we safer guessing it now in case it's easier for him to clue the final 2 together which would include the gamble one?
lol anything we do is bad; either we are skirting the no list rules or we are doing something else
We should be able to talk about more than the exact number clued or guessable
not always ours, but i'm giving him credit for a non-terrible clue since he didn't have to reference ww2 air force
Thing is- if France is a "Definite" aren't we safer guessing it now in case it's easier for him to clue the final 2 together which would include the gamble one?
if we get no info on the last luftwaffe word, he would have to give a 3 clue
or just hope we get it right with a 2 clue +1
lol anything we do is bad; either we are skirting the no list rules or we are doing something else
We should be able to talk about more than the exact number clued or guessable
i mean we can def talk about strategy and what words we should be guessing, lol
we're not making an egregious list
