Technically we could go with link as well. But that’d get us to seven, so probably better to just go with cat/spring/jupiter/shop and leave link for next round.

Need 2 more for person, list was

Knight
Link/Date (we changed the order, but can discuss)

Need 2 more for dangerous, list was

Knife

Best case scenario, our entire list after the last guess (Knife/Knight/Date/Link) is correct and we only need 2 for Mississippi

Cotton - seems pretty standard
Egypt - another place name
Loch Ness - place name, but not as strong because it's a lake instead of a territory
Force - I agree this could be a word for dangerous w/ knife

How is bugle connected to Mississippi, iyo?

Give me some time think about this and look it over a bit before bolding anything, but let me know your thoughts if you have any.

- I'm actually not sure if 'shark' was a person or not, though. Poker, etc.

- I *believe* the mascot of one of Mississippi's flagship universities carries a bugle? Johnny Reb?

- eb is throwing long here. It's worth taking time to process.

I kinda don't like bugle. I'm not sure on the mascot thing (I've been to one Ole Miss game as a kid, don't remember much about it, and don't really follow SEC teams), but I think there's got to be a better clue for Cotton/Bugle.

The fun part is I'm actually cooling off on Cotton/Egypt as well. Egyptian cotton is a thing, why wouldn't the clue just be Sheets? I guess this makes Cotton/Bugle seem better, but idk.

What about just starting with Cotton/Knife/Knight and see if we are still alive?

Cotton
Knife
Knight

By the way Egypt isn't just place name, it's a place name *known for a huge river delta*

That's not a bad point. Let's see how these go and hopefully will be able to discuss

Red x 3

Okay it's now 6-5. They have a good chance of winning next turn.

What's scary is Dangerous and Person could both point to Link. It's dangerous to go alone... But there are reasons to avoid it, too.

I'm coming around on Loch Ness. It's a body of water, which is precisely what the Mississippi River is.

Egypt/Loch Ness/Link ?

oh duh, loch ness monster. dangerous.

Yeah.

I'm not a big fan of guessing their entire list lol

I have to leave the house for a bit, but I will get back to analyzing this afternoon

That is hilarious. So it's a reason not to. But I really have a hard time seeing better.

I think Egypt is mandatory.

Could be Egypt/Force/Date if we avoid link and loch ness?

If shark is for dangerous, and I think it is, that leaves use with 1 for each clue.

You suggested Egypt/Loch ness/Link

I'm closer to Egypt/Force/Date

We both agree on Egypt, should we go ahead and guess it and see if we are alive again?

Link hits remote way more than person, imo, and it's first on their list. If we don't win here, they will likely have to guess it. If it's not their word, nich is forced to come up with a 3 clue that they could miss and make it obvious Link is ours. Date is definitely not their word. Force is possible for pounce, maybe?

In my opinion I think guessing Egypt here is good, and then consider Date/Force in that order.

Egypt

Egypt is red.

We need two. They need three. Both sides are looking at the same words.

Just do date/force and see where we land?

Sorry, was gone all day buying a car. Looking shortly
