Codenames for Suckers
Anyone (preferably who hasn't played in ages/ever and sucks at it like myself) fancy a game of Codenames?
Or regulars if
Glass
Triangle
Eye
3 reds
Angel - Angels are also associated with light, so maybe?
Atlantis - No connection I can make
Copper - Science connection
Dance - Prisms make light dance? I can also make a loose connection between pride rainbows and dancing, but that's a desperate reach
Doctor - I can't imagine us guessing this based on previous clues. We'd need something unambiguous.
Pit - I got nothing
Robot - Prisms -> light -> fiber optics -> robot. That's all I got. Unless prisms are used somehow in quantum computers? But even then I think copper is a better one for that connection
Spine - No?
Staff - No?
Based on this, I think I like angel best, then Copper.
Why capitalized? I still don't know, but it's not because of copper.
The only capitalized connection I can make is Atlantis, but that's the only thing I can see the two words having in common.
Prism could be a brand name, a company name, a film title, a magazine, a game title, etc. It sounds familiar as some kind of criminal organization from a Bond movie, so Eye could had it covered.
I really don't know what to do with the capitalization. I agree it sounds like something, but I have no idea what
What do you think we should do?
I don't know, that's why I'm stalling by asking the same question more than once haha
Could be mug, but we can't guess it this turn because it was on our list from last turn and it would've been the third word we bolded if given an unlimited clue. Maybe an abundance of caution, but still.
Snowman
Bermuda
Switch
Pass
Pit
Mug
One theory is that he clued us away from all that list because we'd have hit so many blue words, and then thought he could get us back to Doctor, but then Red is one clue away from winning so he has to hope that we go back to Doctor with this clue.
Does Doctor Who have some sort of prism in it? I've never watched it
I have never seen a single episode of Doctor Who in my life.
Maybe we should just go with copper. It's decent enough as a science-related clue and we're just spinning our wheels for days at this point.

It's possible.
Another thing we need to consider is that he's now clued 10 words (with dupes, obv).
temperature - 4
undertaker - 2
Prism - 4
Would probably benefit us to break them down.
temperature - 4

My only hesitance with this is that there was absolutely no reason to do a 0-clue on turn two if our list was red/blue/blue/red. He could've just clued as normal with undertaker - 2 and we would've guessed Doctor as our +1 and autopassed - and would've been able to infer that scientist and/or mug were blue because he didn't clue unlimited. We also probably would've been talking through what the fourth temperature word could've been and brought up switch like we did.
That's a lot of what-ifs and could-bes, but yeah. Doctor just seems so incredibly risky here.
Eye could have been an undertaker word, I suppose. And glass for temperature (thermometers can be glass?)
At this point i think we need to yolo something. Angel is my best answer. I'm willing to hear anything you have even the tiniest good feeling towards
Angel works for undertaker too since they deal with death. I still think Death - 2 would've been a better clue for Angel/Wake, but I'm fine with going for that and finally ending our turn.

I really thought we were done for when "employees - 0" somehow resulted in Atlantis getting ruled out. I was just trying to get staff out the way to guess the whole list, I hadn't even considered any Atlantis Trump connection but it got on the list anyway. It was for Washington/Millionaire/Strike/Mug, mug for his mugshot.
