Bump

Oh damn, this is me. Sorry everyone, I'm easily confused

Hand
Light
Microwave
Key stroke is a thing

Not sure if there's other words for stroke. Maybe chest, for breast stroke. But I probably pass after that 4

Oh yea I like key, you like patient?

Chest seems solid too

Oh, yeah, stroke as in the illness.

I don't think we have to go wild with guessing here, blue isn't winning next round, but let's leave a nice long list fo rhim.

Hand
Light
Microwave
Key
Pass

Patient
Chest

Blue isn't winning but wouldn't be bad to get 5 or 6 if we could

Are you good to move hand down some? I don't dislike it but some of the other words seem "locky" like in particular the stuff we mentioned last turn

I don't see the value in taking a big risk here, tbh.

Something like

Light
Microwave
Hand
Key
Pass

Patient
Chest

I'm fine if you want to bold the top 4 in a different order

Let's start with

Light
Microwave
Key

And can discuss

Hand
Patient
Chest

We currently have 4 guessed, with 3 on the list. Best case scenario all 3 are right, and he needs a 2 word clue to wrap it up (either unlimited or just a 2 clue). Guessing here doesn't help in that situation. If one is wrong, it could be horribly wrong. The only scenario in which guessing here is helpful is if it's precisely patient that is wrong, because it means that he doesn't need to navigate around it next time.

If stroke was to hit 4 words, then why not do a 4 clue, and pick up the remaining list word next time? Unlimited to me in this spot implies 1 or 2 words + the list. Four is too much

I think we guess hand, pass, and leave a list to sort out next time rather than overreach and risk a blue or assassin for very little gain.

I think unlimited means guess the words we were talking about, could be 1, 2, or more depending on context.

In this case it was clearly for the remaining 2 we had, this clue is for a minimum of 2 and could potentially be for way more

even 2 more words would help a lot because then D1 could potentially close it out with a 3 clue, if it's a blue word I don't think it's the end of the world, and I'm gonna trust the spymaster that no words having to do with stroke on an unlimited clue are going to be the assassin

so feeling pretty strongly we should continue guessing at least a bit more, I like Patient and Chest as next 2

if one of those is neutral or blue would rather find out about it this turn than next turn

There are 2 more animal words in frog and Hawk

There's hand which a horse is measured in.

There's jumper which horses do (weak sauce)

Neigh means no in formal situations? Don't think that brings Embassy into things.

Still have 2 Normandy words

Frog and Pearl were our backups that we might want to revisit.

Jockeys whip horses right to make them run fast?

Bump

Quack
Stable

I think Whip would be ok if the clue was Horse, but it's a step further away than that.

2 normandy words too.

Frog and Pearl?

I don't know what the 3rd neigh word is but I don't think it's Hawk.

Blue x2

I'm ok guessing frog and pearl

I don't know either what the final neigh word is but we can keep in mind we owe one for it.

We should at least have a backup list to help IBD make future clues.

I think both frog and pearl being right is perhaps unlikely because of the lack of an unlimited clue? Or perhaps he needed to get the 3 info out so we didn't assume 2 or 4 neigh words.

Frog
Pearl?
