3v3 Codenames

WTF no it isn't mouth.

Plant was root/cell/fly/pitch. Pitch for pitcher plant was pretty week, but I had to get something out there. Our results here were understandable.

Zeroed the next turn with cop. Had to do it at some point. This board was awful with police as assassin and our words included cell/lawyer/pistol/bomb/ambulance. You guessed the next word on the list (park) as you should have and it was neutral. Still a tough board, but we're doing okay.

After that I have no idea what you were doing.

Round 3 I give a clue for 5 words when we have 6 remaining. Fly was next on the list and not only do you not guess it early (there's a case to be made that it should have been your first guess), but you made a list of 6 words that didn't include fly at all?

Now in round 4, we have 4 words left. Top 2 in the remaining list are good, but now I have to unnecessarily re-clue for fly instead of just an easy 1 clue. And so I do Finnair for an airline in an arctic location so that we get ice cream.

You went back to other clues, but didn't think about how the last clue 100% had to relate to our final word, so I don't have any earthly idea why you thought mouth related to Finnair.

Anyway, done ranting. GG all. Congrats blues on winning the war of attrition.

I guess I lied, because I just realized that mouth was the 3rd word on your previous list.

So I have no idea why this advice fell by the wayside:

I really thought we had it won when Bob suggested that.

noise - 1

I feel like EB conceded already?

Anyway, I guess that means it's sound & octopus?

Sorry I just did not see Finland -> cold -> ice cream, so I resisted.

the bigger error was the turn earlier when ya'll took fly off the list after he did n-1 so it was the only word on the board that was 100% yours

without that mistake he just clues sundae - 1 or whatever to end the game here

yeah, if switch/link was our turn 1 then I clue Zelda or Mario

ocarina is a musical instrument; I never thought ya'll wouldn't instantly snap sound and link for it; and then you had it on your list still so I thought we'd make it up but never did

Trying to play on mobile while camping with a bunch of hippies tripping on shrooms is apparently not very conducive to high quality codenames analysis lol. Sorry I didn't push harder for ice cream

Oh man, I don’t remember anything about the play. Theater, obv. Was puck a dwarf like creature? Did he play the flute?

It’s either summer solstice festival or the play or both

So fall because of the season connection? Maybe we move that down a little unless I’m missing something

Well yeah

Midsummer is the summer solstice; there is the fall equinox…etc

Fall hits hardest imo

And if it’s just the Shakespeare connection then why not just Puck or something?

Capitalized Midsummer hits theater hardest and you know that. But I’m fine with the top three in whatever order.

Pretty sure the celebration/festival is capitalized also, but whatever

Guess that’s not really a fall thing

But caps don’t mean it’s only that definition…just means at least one word is…and we got theater and flute
