Regular Run of the Mill NO LIST Codenames!
Post if you want in, ideally 8 people but the normal game - guess your stuff and ideally go fast bolding away a guess at a time(Snapguess + guess + etc). Spirit of the game is to just bold away at what you think, keep 0-1 max backup and go quick.

Could be. I don't hate the logic there.
Want to say the safer wooden words first though.
For sure. Just saying if we're gonna guess 5 words, then we should always be guessing 6 imo.
Would he really clue unlimited here if this was just for 2 words tho? Probably not. So maybe we're supposed to finish here, and the last word is card?
Three words, not two.

Do we really think reds will get five next turn?winning in two is always cool, but I would much prefer we don’t help them out.
I’m not going to fight it super hard if you and eb want to go for it, I’d just play it more conservatively if it was only me.

Yeah, I know. What I'm saying is that if it's 3 words, then it's probably 4. So it's either 2 or 4 words imo. One of nich's major rules is to not leave 1 word hanging at the end, and he would probably get mad at us if we stopped at 7.
If we guess 8 and card is wrong, then that's really on him, because it's his rule that we'd be using.
Either way, we're all okay with the 5 that IBD posted?
I am, but we should decide first if we're guessing 4 words or 6, because we should never be guessing 5.
I'm on team 6.

I must not have been paying attention, because I don’t recall this Nich rule at all.
Really? It's basically the cornerstone of the n-1 rule. Like, if you have say 3 words left and you can't get them in 1, then you have to do the 1 clue first even if you're all caught up, because he will always assume you're supposed to go back and pick up another one.
And also, if this is a 3 clue, then why would he clue unlimited when he could just give a 3 clue, then we pick up Washington and finish with either a 1 or 2 clue. He has literally never done that before.
I'm all for what D1iab is saying.

Wuhan - 2
disease
and one of the cities? don't think there is a way to differentiate, but would prob go with moscow
then either well or vacuum for up. i think i prefer vacuum
wind could have been an up word too (winding up a toy, etc)
We have disease and nurse but you just go illness?
Disease moscow works cuz its closer
Then well?
If the intent is to clue cities, you'd intend Berlin/Moscow.
But specifically Wuhan strongly implies Disease, given the virology institute that has been in the news.
Therefore I don't think EITHER city is the intent here.
Oddly enough I land on Bridge as the second Wuhan word, as I'm pretty sure a river goes through the city. But I'm fine with going with an up word instead just to dodge the issue.
disease
Im well -> moscow
I thibk the bridge link is way too tenuous
bridge should be theirs imo
and i think we should guess moscow before going for an up word. if moscow happens to be neutral, we'll at least know berlin is 100% ours. if well (or vacuum) is wrong, we won't know anything
Yh ok im with you
But up is definitely well
ok i'm good with moscow, well, autopass
I'm fine with going either.
