Codenames League - Match Thread B

Bill or model probably

you wanna try Bill? i think that relates to coin the most...also is a name like Trafalgar so has a little equity there

I mean I wanna try concert lol. Not really sold on bill yet because it seems like he may be avoiding it entirely.

do you think it's ever something like Bill AND Model for our last 2 words?

I guess that might be coin - 4 to just blow everything we had up and look for new words

You're just never gonna be on board with concert huh

I may be, if you like Bill and I like it why won't we just go ahead and guess that?

and then if it's ours we can discuss concert and i'll probably get on board

I'm not gonna campaign for bridge since that woulda been coin - 3(if bill is ours)

Because I just said I thought he may be avoiding it? And I do think model probably hits Trafalgar better because of statues and stuff.

But anyway, I'm done with this. Just bold whatever you want.

so are you campaigning for Concert and Model?

what do you think the words are

Omfg. I'm campaigning for concert. I really don't know how I could possibly make this any clearer.

I haven't fully decided the other word yet, but gun to my head if I had to guess right now I'd prolly guess model, yeah.

I mean bold it if it's not possible to talk about the other candidate without getting this concert thing out of the way

I'm trying to have a discussion about the other word, and possibly if it's something besides concert

but ok just bold concert so we can move on since there's no discussion without that

If unlimited is supposed to mean "forget the list and guess 2 other completely random words" then we were drawing dead anyway.

concert

Concert

Fair enough

Board please

Knight
Lion
Parachute
Match
Rose
Disease
Kiwi
Ship
Hospital
Bolt
Circle
Bill
Bridge
Olympus
Post
London
Pound

So it was unlimited for 3+1???

Wtf zurvan

We should’ve lost. Not going to assume what happened with Zurvan’s decision to go with unlimited there, but come on, guys:

Why on earth would you guys change the order of the list here? You’d bolded lion and rose, but for some reason they went below pound next turn. I did nothing to indicate either lion or rose weren’t ours. I truly don’t understand. We would’ve won on the third turn had this not happened. Instead, we should’ve lost and got super lucky to not.

Also,

Why not list things out?

heart - 5
Disease
Hospital
Lion
Match
????

battle - 4
Knight
Ship
Match
????

RNZAF - unlimited
Kiwi
Parachute

You agreed kiwi doesn’t hit heart or battle, so parachute has to hit one of them and can’t hit the other. Parachute doesn’t hit heart, and definitely hits battle, so both lion and match couldn’t have been double clued. If you’d done the above, you might’ve seen that and then actually had a conversation about whether sock made sense. At least you remembered the “unlimited = (almost always) skip top of list” thing and didn’t bold bridge.

But again, none of that would’ve needed to happen if you’d just kept things in order from the start.

Sorry for the rant, I just went from feeling like a smooth win in three to oh ****, we’re gonna lose to feeling really lucky for winning.

List meta is hilarious

This was one of the wildest and anxiety-filled final turns I’ve ever read. And I had the board!

good clue imo Zurvan

seems like a very hard 4 combo at the end to get and you gave us a chance

I shoulda pushed even harder I guess because I've never seen anyone use unlimited to SKIP the next word on deck but I can only do so much and D1 was adamant you do it some funky way

solid clueing, gg

Yeah, this. If anything he spazzed out because he knew he was cluing to you and he knows how relentless you are.

Sometimes you make the right play and get the wrong result. I don't feel the least bit bad for guessing concert there.

I can't remember playing a game of codenames with Zurvan(maybe ever or it's been at least years) - no reason for him to think or know I play in this (very logical) manner

again, I have never seen ANYONE here in ANY game that I have played use unlimited to skip the next intended word

so I'm clearly not the only one, and I got talked into an illogical decision with a lot of persistence/stubbornness/relentlessness from the other side

all fine to disagree, feel free to interpret clues how you wish. I will not be using any rigid "system" or "rules" or "traditions" for my guesses(especially ones that make 0 sense), I will be using clues and information(possibly varying!) that the game being played presents

I LITERALLY DID IT THE TURN BEFORE YOURS

Goddamn this is rich
