You need 4 not 3 :p

oh wait that's 8. Gah.

Yeah I can't count either.

That leaves us with one... word we haven't been clued!

Yeah I caught it 😀

Dammit

OK, so we have 3 words that I feel good about. Then there's a fourth word, that is NOT server, and that hasn't been clued. It's possible that we were right about both paper & Buffalo, and paper was lucky. Does he want us to yolo it? Or does he think we get another shot at this?

It's a shame we **** the bed so hard with Water, eb must be pulling his hair out.

If we decide to yolo a fourth word, I think Model is the way. It's the best opposite word to Waitress, if he was trying to get a double meaning with the zero clue.

I think our best equity is to take a shot in the dark. Low equity on what their words are though.

Assuming we're right on our next three,

Lab
Marble
Model
Paper
Police
Server

contains two of theirs, one of ours, an assassin, and two neutrals.

I think Server/Lab/Model likely contains their last two and neutral/assassin.

Meaning our guess would be from Marble/Paper/Police

Could Model be a nose word? And we just got lucky with Center?

I'm not sure I see any reason to lump model in with their words

Or, maybe we guess the three we're certain on and figure out if there's more?

I'm fine with bolding while we think about it

Center
Limousine
Buffalo

If these aren't, the guess is moot.

All red

Of those words, I think model is the one with the best chance of hitting a clue.

I don't know whether it's worth the risk here. it seems likely blue wraps up this turn, but is it more likely we lose the game with this guess, than it is that they miss next round?

I'm kinda leaning pass. We don't have enough information

They need two and have a lot to work with. If we guess, I figure we have at least a 17% chance to win if we go purely random and ignore what their clues and words likely are. But if we pass, it's much less than that.

That's... a good argument.

I'll leave you the honour of taking the last word. You won the last coin flip, so you're on a roll

Happy Friday. Randing...

waitress - unlimited

another unlimited?

confusion on top of confusion

server is obviously ours

we need 2 tho; what is our other one?

he did unlimited on this board and so we skipped server and went unicorn, which wasn't correct

now we have lab next and he did unlimited again

Occam would say he is doing unlimited instead of n-1 clue, so we should guess lab

but after he just saw we didn't do next word when given unlimited because denied n-1, would he do it a second time in a row instead of just saying waitress - 1????

only 4 options:

Lab - could hit electricity; next on our list and usually is waitress - 1, but given server is ours seems he's using unlimited for next word so most likely ours
Model - doesn't really hit poker or electricity other than science model for electricity; would have been waitress - 2 if it's server + model, especially after the other team's turn
Paper - doesn't hit electricity and not mentioned by us so wouldn't make sense (receipt - 2 gets paper+server)
Police - doesn't hit electricity and not mentioned by us so wouldn't make sense (summons - 2 gets server+police)

so server/lab bottles I guess

Server
Lab
