i guess i'm on ball for safety reasons

Yeah, same.

mmm i was a little on Genie

Like yea they're likely guessing Ball but maybe not and ending our turn that way isn't great for us

I feel nich would want us to sus out that's theirs and continue sharpshooting our own stuff

I kinda wanna find out about Genie, there's several reasons why Ball may be wrong

Ball could also be right but let's say Genie is neutral - Red's turn is way more complicated and I like keeping the game difficult for other team

but what if genie is red. that's the problem

i'd guess genie 10/10 times if you can guarantee it's ours/neutral 😆

i almost always hate guessing the next word (presumably) on the other team's list, but i don't think it matters that much in this situation

and nich would ideally not clue for that word as well, but sometimes you have no other choice as a spymaster

seems like the clue would be the same for both of these combos. gonna stick with ball as my vote

The other option we have is just to pass here.

Keeps the mystery of ball without the risk of genie.

Gives us less information though...

I feel we need to guess something cause we probably only get 1 more turn after this and need to make progress...tho if we think they can't get 5 in 2 turns passing would have some merit

Yarg tricky spot

i think we gotta guess

Okay if we have to guess, I'd rather ball.

LOL wasn't expecting neutral.

Scorpio - 2

I was always going ball as the last Queen word, heh.

Scorpio:

Telescope (it's a constellation)
... Spider? (spiders and scorpions... so weak)

I also like Spider as the last Queen word, though.

I agree with telescope and spider. The arachnid connection is enough for me and that’s a brutal combo.

I’m not sure I understand spider for Queen and I’m even less sure that D1iab would give a 2-clue on his 2nd turn that repeats a word already clued.

I’d probably go with something like contract, which connects to the band definition of the clue.

Telescope
Spider

telescope
spider

Yeah, I don’t know where to go next. I’m still leaning contract, but would probably prefer passing.

I think there's enough of a chance spider got double clued.
