thought that combo would be hospital, but maybe should have talked it out

gg

I considered hospital but i thought maybe the connection to soup was too thin


GG all, close but no cigar

Thanks bud

Before IBD clues a reminder that you're clueing to 2 British people. We know British things. We also know American things, but they're not as obvious to us.




IBD about to go America all over everybody's ass.


bump for ervin


bump for ervin


sorry been kinda sick and just taking it easy today i'll try to look a little later


Yeah, giving a codenames clue is pretty damn taxing.


remember when we used to play turbos


Yeah, we also used to have like a 36h timer in the non-turbos or it was an autopass haha.


mythology - 4


Egypt
Pan
Saturn
Unicorn

Looks like a pretty solid top 4 at first glance.


I had the same 4 and came to see if you had different ones

Gonna relook for backups


Maybe ivory as a backup?


Ring
Forest - Sherwood and others
Fair - renaissance fairs

All pretty weak tho

Don’t really see ivory as hitting much but meh


Feeling pretty good about those 4; whatever 2-3 of the others you want for backup is fine with me


I think ivory>ring>>>the rest, but hopefully it won't get that far.

You agree on order? Maybe pan should be a bit lower as it's the easiest to miss, even though it obviously hits hard.


Yeah pan 4th

I do like forest as backup bc I feel like he’s mentioned Sherwood Forest in at least 6 different Codenames games over the years


I dislike forest because not only is it a 2-step connection, but I don't really consider it a myth either.


Yeah it’s more of a read on Ervin than the clue, but that’s fine; it’s not that strong so we can leave it off


Eh, there are other reasons it could be forest, so I'm ok with it as first backup if you'd prefer. I don't really like anything outside the top 4 anyway.


Egypt
Saturn
Unicorn
Pan
Pass

Forest
Ivory
