Codenames League - Match Thread B

i mean it could, but i don't want to live in that world

re: van hitting display

uhhhh i guess i'm fine with all of those. we need to make something happen

maybe we don't do van. i really don't know

afaict it's the only thing on the list that can explode

I think it's either for 1 word or 3+ because it doesn't really make sense as a clue for just screen+van, and if it's for more than 1 word then we're drawing dead anyway.

I think we should just roll with the list and see what happens? Maybe we can change the order a bit, but I doubt it matters.

yep, only chance

Tooth? (Steel toothed saw)

We want to do our best to win it here.

I was waiting to see what you said so I wouldn't bias

was liking Fork the best over Belt/Triangle/Spike

def agree we gotta guess 3, I'm not gonna get off Iron or Hand so you can even bold those if you want

am thinking Fork is the best but may want to just double check that there isn't anything better/nothing for the other words

Iron + Spike =
Iron + Triangle =
Iron + Tooth =
Iron + Belt =

one thing is we didn't get metal - 2

would we guess something different with that? because I would think Iron + ....fork for that too probably? tho Washer and some stuff come into play more

Iron
Hand

Fork
Spike

If somehow something is wrong

Spike and Iron would be metal

Triangle might have been grouped with Bermuda, also triangle, tooth and belt are all clearly 2nd tier.

You can't give a clue like this and expect them to be in our top 2. They're 3rd, 4th 5th sorta words.

yea I do like Fork the best...just kinda thinking through any reasons to guess anything else

I can't see myself moving away from fork to be honest. Anything else is clearly a tier below fork. There's no capital so we're not missing a media reference.

I think it's just fork

Iron
Hand

I'm at work now. I'll be back in a few hours and will bold fork then unless AE wants to do it sooner or suggest something else.

yea all the other stuff like Silver/Gold/Metal would hit other stuff better I think

will stop overthinking it

Fork

Being blue sucks you gotta get it all in 2 every game

Excellent work, guys. Definitely needed to stay away from metal because it was too broad and silver because screen was the big bad. Had hand not been on the list, I might’ve gone with something like grip - 3.

Excellent clues IBD! Don't think we missed a single thing besides the Hollywood neutral 3/4 thing which we were all on board with anyway

Grip woulda been good too if we didn't have Hand, you were on it this game!!

GG all

Yay

Good guessing AE and good clues IBD

Grip seems great now we know the words but I don't think it would be a slam dunk.

I probably would have argued that a washer helps a nut grip a bolt.

Who knows maybe I would have claimed that teeth can be used to grip things.

I mighta argued for Belt(has a grip on your pants) or King lol

so maybe we woulda both been like, well we agree a Fork can be gripped let's fire that
