here were 6 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
Nichp
Zurvan

IBD

Game 1: Nich vs IBD
glgl
.
Bell - no, instrument
Calf - don't see it
Eye - maybe
Glove - no
Log - yes
Piano - no, instrument
Press - maybe
Shadow - nah, woulda been woods
Spike - maybe
Trunk - yes
so still at definites:
log
trunk
and now our maybes have grown to 3:
press
spike
eye
I can see eye directly.
I can see spike from stake.
Press feels iffy.
At this point Nich, if you were to pick between spike and eye, are you still on spike?
lol I like press the most because a wood press is an actual tool
gonna have to do combos to see if we can eliminate anything like woods eliminated shadow
log/trunk/eye - maybe Groot or Treebeard? meh not sure
log/trunk/spike - maybe hatchet or whatever that axe is that has a spike on it; logger shoes also have spikes on them so logger or lumberjack could work
log/trunk/press - not sure of a good one here
I dunno, I like press but not dying on that hill; he coulda done Groot to get tree+body part but not sure...not strong enough to eliminate eye
our list was glove/spike
if he did 2 clue it'd be glove so that's out
if spike was ours it'd be tree/wood - unlimited for 2nd word on list spike + log/trunk
so spike is out
it's press or eye
coulda done wooden for eye/log/trunk as there are wooden eyes, but these days it's all glass so that's weak also
(obligatory "it's all ball bearings nowadays")
for press, guess he coulda done particleboard to ensure we got press; or woodworking
I dunno
... drill press.
Log
Trunk
Press
Bold to confirm
I think it could be eye but press feels more of a common thing someone might clue.
Okay, this is taking way too long and we’re not winning here.
It was spike. Sorry, I missed that it was 2nd on the list until right after I clued. Been kicking myself for several days now, let’s just be done with it.
Not sure I’ve ever had such a blocked board while still having a chance to win. A 0-1-0-unlimited win would’ve been a first, pretty sure. Oh well.
Plastic

Play
Alien
Theater
Spike
Bat
Log

Tick
Fall
Trunk
Stadium
Glove
Shadow
Eye
Olive
Calf
Press
Piano
I can't believe I miscounted how many words we had left on that last clue. That board was brutal, but good work getting there after my Slide fiasco
I capitalized hoping you'd get that I was using it as a noun, so you wouldn't take fall. Obviously that didn't work
What was the Sigourney clue for?
You got it right. Alien and the next two on the list - it was helpful that a neutral was third, so I felt safe with you guessing that. I thought there was some chance you'd get Deck because she was on a ship, but I was hoping you'd stay conservative with the state of the game
sorry for taking so long; too bad I noticed that spike was 2nd on list
man we were so close to 0-1-0-unlimited win, which woulda been a first; good try
Oh, now I remember why I chose to clue for spike:
Stadium
Glove
Spike
and yeah, if it's not this line, we adopt nich's list in post #6289 starting with log.
#6289:
in case that's wrong, then it's not baseball so then a list:
stadium
log
calf
press
trunk
glove
march
I had been planning all along to end with a wooden - 4 clue once I cleared all the blockers to pick up bat/spike/trunk/log, and got thrown off because you guys got bat and had abandoned sound for some reason, so n-1 would no longer work.
I think when it keeps us even, your reasoning makes sense. Trust IBD. In theory a 4 clue could get them clued 9, but then they can't GUESS 6.
Tick
Pass
Sound
Play
Thankfully, red gifted us sound, so I just had our final three wood/wooden words to deal with.
I’m actually not sure what I should’ve done here, because you guys gave two different lists and one needed unlimited (to get spike) and the other n-1 (to get log). I had to do a 3-clue and hope you guys ignored the n-1 rule and still bolded log (because how tf can someone clue wood in the endgame and not be clueing log). Instead, you looked to the list that was supposed to be scrapped.
Anyway, weird game, and I’m glad it’s finally over.

Conductor next. I'm not sure what the fourth word would be. Did Jet Li direct anything? Press, possibly
