what do you like

arm is out i think since he could clue fastball or curveball for the 2nd clue. i see no blockers at all

think it just comes down to racket or table unless you see something else


racket def hits harder

but slightly avoided with 2nd clue (BUT massive blockers possible)
arguably avoided with 3rd clue (criminal definition)
scientology equity
+ weird cluing order equity

i'd probably guess table every time. then be annoyed when racket is ours, match is purple, and scientology is some esoteric connection

Oh shoot sorry I saw a board

What else could scientology be?

I don't see any other connection

You good with table?


I'll be honest that I don't love table but I'm not seeing much else.

Arm like you said would be curveball 3 or something.

Bar is possible but a tenuous multi step connection at best.

Brush and fan I don't see any connection.

Match would have been baseball 3

Racket is the only scientology connection we see.

Vet is ruled out (kinda) but n-1

That leaves Table

Neutral


handle - 2


Hmmm kind of a few options here

Is arm handle something? It kind of sounds like it

First stuff I saw was brush + racket but bar also makes sense and handlebar is something


arm was the random word i put on our list last round so i would discount it being ours

I like handlebar and racket maybe?

i agree it could be brush but we still need to think about the second one for scientology


Racket seemed ok for scientology but it also seems best for alarm which they still need 1 for

So this is pretty weird

Handlebar seems easiest to miss, but also hits pretty dang hard. Brushes and rackets literally have handles so it seems weird not to guess them...but then what's the alarm word?


hello?


bump


4donk u here?

I think we gotta do brush

And then probably just racket assume bar was missed since that's easiest to miss


sorry i've developed some kind of 2p2 amnesia

im not sure but i'm ok with brush + racket

still think bar has significant equity though


It definitely does, all 3 have a whole bunch of equity, bar seems the one easiest to miss so I think that's the one we cut

But I'll start by bolding

Brush


How the **** is this game still going. Just finish it.

wow bar was the assassin (not that it mattered if we got it wrong we lose anyway)

gg all


Wow y’all faded handle

Handles or handled for brush+racket

I would have died on the hill of handlebars and been wrong

I was trying to avoid racket as long as possible for alarm, but I thought arming an alarm (only way it works) was a lock guess so didn’t think it’d be passed up at all
