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.

Ruler? It's super weak, but it's probably not blue at least.
You’re gonna hate me, but for some reason I’m drawn to dance. I have no idea why.
If we go with ruler, then it’s neutral and next turn blue wins. If we know something is neutral, we should avoid it at this point imo.
What makes you say ruler is neutral?
Because Tenochtitlan was clueing either crown or ruler. You think Ervin was clueing a blue and a red and hoping they just guessed correctly?
Regardless, what does Neanderthal have to do with ruler?

Maybe? Ervin is not exactly known for his conservative approach to the game lol. He also had to take a punt with the position that the blues were in at that stage.
Nothing, and I said as much
Lol ok. Well I'd rather go with something that we can at least make a case for.
Ruler
I wasn't sold on ruler or anything. Should've at least waited for zeus to weigh in.

Good game.
They’re both prehistoric and extinct like dinosaurs. And Germany rings a bell for some reason, famous Neanderthal settlement sites there or something. Not sure about the third.
Neil has clued nine words, but we got a freebie with pan. If pan wasn’t a black word, then one of the Neanderthal words has to also hit black. It’s also n-1, so if we think that matters (despite no list), the only other word we mentioned was helicopter.

My last clue was a hail mary. "Paleo" as a clue hits Dinosaur and Carrot, "Neanderthal" hits Dinosaur and Germany, but I couldn't think of a way to hit all three. So I had to hope maybe team would take the leap.
Black in hindsight was a bad clue. I missed the whole glove/hand/hood tangent.
All good, we got close!
Great guessing team! I maybe shoulda just clued hand - after it was guessed I got the grab idea and thought that would be solid for press/wave/slug/glove and the stretchy crown
You nailed Tenochtitlan so they had to pull a tough one out to prevent our easy one, they almost did too!
GG all
Was just about to suggest carrot as a possibility too haha.
Sorry for jumping the gun there, I wasn’t thinking
