Meh

It’s never this but whatever keep moving

police officer


It was policeman, nice job


A little surprising but not bad!


Good job!

P7 Peralta
P5/P11 Ponch/Poncherello


P3 pig
S7 Serpico

You had L3 and D9 nailed obv


I also had hinted at S5, S6, S13

Sting
Sumner
Synchronicity


Would an answer of "police" have been close enough? I feel like it wouldn't.

Also not sure that shadowfaxes from the 80s or earlier are a great idea in general with this crowd.


I don't know Nich's age but I feel like he knows CHiPs and Synchronicity.


nice

p7 Peralta plus all the random shadowfaxes that were likely to be cop names made it the best guess

yeah, the musical angle woulda been good also for the band if s was on the outside; I didn't even think about it for figuring out your clues tho


Round 4:

Cards used: 4
Guessers: ervin/d1

The Board:

P | S | JOVW | M | P | EF | DL

The target word:
I've sent it to ibd/zeus/bolt


P6 off the top of my head.


well p6

p8 is nice


s4 if they go the wrong direction on a p clue
s7 also


P6 will get there


I've got 4 p6 and 2 don't get there by themselves

two p6 do get there

gotta figure out which we are all talking about


I think either P6 is legit and should get it done. Would probably go with the more specific one.

S7 seems like the right one if P6 somehow doesn’t do it. There’s an S5, as a decent follow-up to P6, but I think P6 nails it on its own 95% of time.


did we ever make a rule on apostrophes?


by D1iabol1cal m

Airborne is 8 letters.

I thought s7 could be santa's, but I wasn't sure if apostrophes count as letters, or even if they are legal. Is any punctuation fine?

by Nicholasp27 m

That’s an open question

I think apostrophe should be ok; it’s still one word

But open to thoughts

this was all the discussion

I think we should allow apostrophes but we haven't really discussed to make a ruling yet on it


P6, the obv one, is obv the one we should do


by Nicholasp27 m

did we ever make a rule on apostrophes?

I think apostrophes, hyphens, and dashes should all count the same. What about numbers?


There's a decent P7 that's an opposite clue but I still prefer the obvious P6.


L10 and S8 are similar clues to get at it also

I think we just go the right p6 and be done tho


Picard


Is that captain from star trek?


Yeah

S7 prolly Sparrow or skipper and s4 is ship. Dunno the others, but there's gotta be a bunch of captain names out there.
