here were 6 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
Nichp

Game 1: Nich vs IBD
glgl
think we can remove play (and optimal is prolly to throw random word 2nd for freeroll), but guess doesn't matter much

Play and Diamond right because unlimited?
As for this clue, uhh...
Alien and ?
Oh yeah it's our turn lol
Yeah Alien/Play/Diamond then I have no clue
Maybe Olive or Spike as those are names as well? Spike Lee is also a nickname like Signourey's
Don't really know much about Signourey Weaver unfortunately, do you know if she was in any other films with any of these words in their names?
If not then no idea, it obv can't just be for Alien
The tagline for Alien is "in space no one can hear you scream", which could be a reference to sound, but also could be some two-step connection I invented in my head.
Olive and Spike are weak, but certainly plausible, especially given that we have nothing else really.
I'm good with this if you want. Pick your favorite spot for sound.
Alien
Diamond
Play

Olive

Spike

I feel like there's better clues out there for alien+sound, not that I can think of any right now but surely better clues than Sigourney lol
Olive is another female name at least so i'd put that ahead of it

At first I didn't even know what to make of this. Play was theirs. Sound is on their list.
Patio 0 means NOT deck, then.
The only logical conclusion is we ARE being set up for one big thing.
And then it hit me: one big baseball clue. Not on deck, not play ball.
Pass
Bat
Glove
Spike
Stadium
... what?
he's never given us a clue towards words other than the tock for tick clue, so we have to make some assumption and go for words that don't hit instrument or patio
given none of the instrument adjacent words other than theater were ours, he isn't going for the 'similar but not quite' words angle, so the baseball angle is as good as any; he's not expecting to get 5-6 turns here so has to be going for something huge next turn
I agree. I definitely misread instrument. It was much more literal. So nothing that hits patio, nothing that hits instrument.
Bat
Bell - instrument
Calf
Deck - patio
Eye
Glove
Log
March
Piano - instrument
Press
Shadow
Sound
Spike
Stadium
Trunk
What else is a patio? Log and Trunk? Shadow for being in the shade?
Bat - safe and hits baseball and animal
Bell - not ours
Calf - safe and hits animal; 2-step to baseball
Deck - not ours
Eye - safe and hits animal
Glove - safe and hits baseball
Log - safe and maybe ours or else he coulda done porch...patios are stone, etc not wood while decks/porches are often wood with log foundations
March - patio used more in the spring? marching band with instruments? kinda weak to both but not really to either
Piano - not ours
Press - safe but not much in way of connections
Shadow - pretty safe; shadows on the patio is weak, but not much in way of connections
Sound - could still be ours; it's been our first backup and should remain that for final turn
Spike - safe and hits baseball
Stadium - safe and hits baseball
Trunk - safe and hits animal
animal: bat, calf, eye, trunk, shadow?
baseball: bat, glove, stadium, spike
then log seems safe since he didn't do porch
if setting up for baseball, he had to avoid diamond, swing, play; he wouldn't know they'd get diamond and swing to clear those for him, so the baseball setup is a bit weaker given how many he had to get away from
if setting up for animal, don't see why he needed the 0 clues so that doesn't make sense either
I dunno...
we can go with:
log
pass
sound
stadium
bat
glove
spike
or
stadium
bat
glove
spike
pass
sound
I prefer the latter. I lean against touching log if we think there is a connection with a deck foundation.
well the idea is that he did patio not porch in order to avoid log so we'd guess patio
but they only need 3 more words so we prolly should go for the win here
I'd feel better if I had any idea what Sigourney was cluing for so could eliminate more options
but we prolly can't pass here
gonna take another look
so their list the prior turn was:
Plastic
Cotton
Swing
pass
Play
Diamond
Glove
Bat
they then got Sigourney - unlimited, which makes me worry about glove/bat
they already had their 3 slide words (plastic/swing/play) except play, which was top of list
they already had their 2 material words (plastic/cotton)
so there wasn't an obvious stopping point at 2 words there for unlimited
so glove or glove+bat could be theirs, or at least be neutral to not help us
She's been in a lot of movies (and I probably haven't seen most of them). That's tough for me to analyze.
If we're not being set up for baseball, I don't know what. You have an ideas?
If we're not being SET UP for something then we're missing an angle here.
we have 11 safe words and need 5 to win here
of those:
glove/bat are on their unlimited list
march is iffy
shadow could hit patio (stretch)
spike on their new list, but that doesn't mean much
stadium seems safest like theater
let's look at the animal words:
tick (he did tock here rather than combine animals)
bat
calf
eye
trunk
all of those can't be ours or he woulda done animal 5
also calf/eye/trunk are body parts so all 3 aren't ours most likely
