Codenames League - Match Thread B

Not getting unlimited last turn is a pretty big strike against pan too

Do you know what their last morgue word is? The only words I see that even vaguely fit are ninja, cotton and face lol.

Yeah worried about that too.

Could be skyscraper. Place where undertakers are plus two buildings.

I can see cotton being the 3rd quiet word pretty easily, but I'm really having a tough time making sense of the other clues.

We have to guess face, but what is it a clue for? Princess or Time?

I'd say time, but it wasn't capitalized and doesn't make a whole lot of sense for time otherwise. Also it would leave London for princess, which is weird for its own reasons.

Yeah this whole game has been really weird and I'm really not sure what to think.

Mouse
Ninja
Face

If either of those are wrong just put us out of our misery.

Xpost

If face was clued for at all, it had to be for time imo.

Going princess over queen for king/grace/london makes absolutely 0 sense. But also if you have those 3 words, surely you lump them together? I'm not sure if he saw some blocker for queen that I'm not seeing or what. Also the caps don't really make sense either, so I dunno.

Maybe Jack? Seems like it would be easily outside the top 3, but maybe if it was the purple word, I could see not taking any chances.

Even if we're thinking: princess = grace/king/London and time = spring/scale/face

...that still doesn't help us decide if he wants us to guess pan or not. I'm leaning not. Unlimited on turn two would have gotten us the same 6 words we have now, plus we'd have a very valuable 7th if pan was red.

Ok I can get behind that jack logic, but that would still mean the caps were just for grace?

Yeah, which I don't love. But I can't wrap my head around any other option.

That it's for Pan and he just left London sitting there unclued for?

Yeah I know, it doesn't really compute.

Alternative is that pan was spursed and he didn't clue unlimited because he just wanted to make sure we knew exactly how many words time was for and we could pick it up in endgame either by recluing it with mouse/ninja or using the list if it was still on there.

Not capping time for face is really throwing me though and makes me wonder if he just missed it and it was for London and he just hoped we'd realise that and make up pan from the previous clue.

That seems way less valuable than us knowing whether or not Pan is ours.

We discussed pretty heavily that weren't sure about it. Plus I really don't think it fits princess. When I think "Disney princesses", I don't think anyone from Peter Pan. Who would it be even? Wendy? Tiger Lily? Tinkerbell? All of these are silly imo.

I'm becoming more anti-Pan the more I think about it.

I agree with your first point, but I said that we may have spursed it and so he may have reclued London and have pan be our "makeup". It does make some sense to me in a very confusing game even if it's not standard.

I kinda still wanna guess it even with the way the game has played out.

Red x3

Ugh, I guess I see this logic.

It's either that or cotton, and to be fair I hate them both.

If you want to go for it, I won't stop you.

Just trying to think of better clues for just mouse/ninja. He could've clued Splinter, but maybe he didn't think of it. Sneaky would work too, I think. I may be swinging back to cotton the more I think about it.

But it's not like this hits cotton hard at all, so it's possible he just thought quiet was fine as a 2 clue anyway.

Part of me wants to just rand between the 2 words and let the gods decide our fate haha.

That's my biggest problem with guessing it.

I think it fits the clue better than Pan does for Princess, but it's REALLY weak.

Yeah, but at the same time I'm not sure there is a better way to hit mouse/ninja/cotton than this clue.

My gut says pan is ours even though logically it shouldn't be. Also, using unlimited to skip a word is used far less often than just running the list.

So are you liking pan>cotton now?

Not really. I don't like either one.

Maybe your randomizing idea is best.

Feels kind of cheap to do that tho. Do you have a % or is it just a flip for you?

50 cotton
45 pan
5 something else

I'm not much different tbh, although the %'s are reversed.

If I were to bold something right now it would be pan, but I don't feel anywhere near strongly enough to push for it. If you wanna bold cotton or rand instead, I'm good with it.
