Also shout-out to you XB for having me sitting here thinking about the difference between an iceberg and a glacier :p

I like Glacier but I can see value in passing. Glacier is on blue's backup list.

If we pass blue have 4 words still to guess, 3 not yet clued. That's a tough get for them.

If we go Glacier and it's blue then it's not good for us. Even if it's neutral then it clears their backup list and makes things simpler for them.

If we pass with a backup list of

Glacier
Wheel
Wedding

I don't want to get into specifics of what I think IBD will do based on how correct our list is, but whether it's right, wrong or partially right a repeat clue, 0 clue, 1 clue or 2 clue will likely lead us to victory.

Only thing to be concerned about is if blue have an easy 3 link and that's why IBD is pushing for the win this turn.

Thoughts?

Agreed pass seems best

Feels unlikely we'll go 2/2 and clearing anything up is really bad to make it easier for them so good with pass if you wanna do it

i would say baby/soup/wedding

and bell to close it out

My 3 were baby/wedding/patient (donors at sperm banks)

I'm good going with baby/wedding/bell first see if we're still alive then re-evaluate

yeah i was considering patient as well, but as a spymaster, i think it would be weird to think of this as a clue unless you want to hit something liquid-y like soup

he would probably go for pregnancy with that combo?... i guess sister could be a blocker tho... hmmmm

will try to think of another possible clue there

i've also thought soup had a good chance to be ours from the start because of their chew clue

Baby
Wedding
Bell

baby/soup/patient definitely the most unlikely combo, so can fire these

i'm also thinking he would have probably tried to group patient in with our first clue

wedding cruise? that's a thing i guess?

.

mmmm actually a fantastic clue to try to end it, I didn't think of wedding and discounted glacier but hits everything great

GG all
