Codenames for Suckers
Anyone (preferably who hasn't played in ages/ever and sucks at it like myself) fancy a game of Codenames?
Or regulars if
so Atlantis/trunk are the 2 makeup for unlimited clue
Africa/Ground were next 2 on our list from prior turn that donk just didn't continue, but should be considered part of our list
nose is for center of face
atlantis
trunk
nose
center
then we need 1 more
gotta go for it here so gotta figure out if it's Africa as next on list or if unlimited was for first 2 and we need another nose word here
also still likely have an Oppenheimer connection
the only other connection to nose i can make is trunk as in an elephant.
I don't know what he was going for with Oppenheimer. Maybe there's an Oppenheimer Center?
He had a face i guess he was the face of the manhattan project
I say we go Africa as next on our list
atlantis
trunk
face
center
africa
bottles
well we can go ahead and do atlantis trunk nose center and then discuss final word if still alive
atlantis
trunk
face
center
All blue
Africa - was next word on our list, so next for unlimited if nothing else for nose
Deck - don't see nose connection
Field - don't see nose connection
Greece - don't see nose connection
Ground - don't see nose connection
Nut - smelling, another body part, weak nose connection
Piano - don't see nose connection
Space - don't see nose connection
not sure final paperwork word for them; none of those hit paperwork AFAIK so whatever
we had:
entombed - 3:
pyramid
atlantis
trunk
africa?
the last 3 on that list are all ones that are weakish for entombed so any could be one he didn't consider
Oppenheimer - unlimited:
bomb
?
just bomb would be a different clue, so something for 2nd here
could just be something like center or face; he was the face of the Manhattan Project; he was at the center and there is probably an Oppenheimer Center somewhere
nothing above really hits so don't think it matters much
think we just keep going down the list for Africa and get our bottles
yeah i can't see any other connection
i think we just full send africa and hope
he was very eager to clue unlimited so it seems plausable that our list was unintentionally correct.
africa
animal - 3
entombed - 3
turban - 2

I think we can call it there
I totally missed Trunk for entombed, and I was pretty sure we'd only get 3 shots at this, so my hope with Oppenheimer is that you'd clear the board of one of the neutral words and leave me with enough of a list to get us there. You almost did it, but you never made the Oppenheimer -> Nuke -> Ground zero connection I was hoping for. And obviously you'd not look for a third entombed word after getting trunk

entombed in the ground is obvious in retrospect
bomb+ground zero would just be Nagasaki or Hiroshima; Oppenheimer made it seem like it wasn't about the bomb itself but about the man or the movie
Donk v xander
ah, you were going for all 4: face of the project, center of it, ground zero and bomb bc you weren't sure we'd get another turn
if going for 2 turns, then Hiroshima makes sense, but if going for one turn then Oppenheimer is good; just we didn't get on the same page

Diamond and triangle seem good
Moon maybe?
(Get) back (in) shape
Triangle
Diamond
A little hesitant on moon because wouldn't that be "shapes"? Don't really like anything else though...
Suit maybe, like tailoring to a person’s shape
