This game was absolutely infuriating.
Ireland 0 - cluing away from Leprechaun/Europe/church/Australia/port and towards Kiwi. I wasn't surprised you saw it as a clue towards Australia, but I didn't really care anyway since it was neutral. I did see the embassy connection, but it seemed pretty weak to me, and I figured it would be pretty easy to rectify later. Boy, was I wrong! (I also think Irish hits embassy much harder than Ireland does fwiw, which is why I didn't use it).
fish 0 - away from oil/line and port (again) and towards rabbit and kiwi. And no, I didn't miss the paste connection either, but once again, it seemed pretty weak to me. You should also realise by now that it's pretty damn difficult to hard clue away from certain words without at least soft cluing away from your own. It's unavoidable, actually. This is also the part where apparently no matter what I do, it's cluing away from rabbit.
guitar 0 - away from band/string/track/switch. You said switch anyway, but that was fine. You also gave me a list to work with here, which was great, as it should make my job easier now. Wrong!

Before we bold that, an order list?
How about:
Rabbit
Ice cream
Plot
Bond
Tube
Back
Kiwi
Soul
Paste
Track
Cloak
So this was the list that I had to work with. It was pretty close, apart from ice cream and plot not being ours and embassy not being on it. Reds said plot next turn, so all I had to do was clue away from ice cream and towards embassy. Not that easy, but wait!
Antarctica 0 - clues away from ice cream/cloak and port (for a third time), and towards embassy (or so I thought). We might actually be able to win this turn. Or maybe not...

Does Ireland have an embassy?

This is true. But do you know what doesn't have any embassies?
Oh, and now we have rabbits roaming around in Antarctica for some reason.
You also have now completely abandoned the list. You picked soul, which was fine, but now you wanna say line and track and port!!! Two of those words weren't on the list at all, and the other one was at the very bottom. I guess I have to start over. Sigh.
side 0 - clues away from line/track and port (for the 4th mother ****ing time now!). Perfectly, I thought. Apparently not. I didn't miss the backside connection either btw, but I had to hard clue away from those 3 words, since you were definitely gonna say at least one of them if I didn't. I also saw side as sort of cluing towards back, in a way.
"I still think it's port and diab just missed it. And if it's not that, then he must've missed the line/track connection and it's one of those."
What in the actual **** is going on right now? You must give me very little credit as a spymaster if you seriously think I'm going to give a clue that perfectly avoids the 3 words on the top of your list last round if one of them is ours. I mean, Jesus ****ing Christ!
This was by far the most tilting game of codenames I've ever played. I was actually starting to get legit mad at some points. At least you finally got embassy. I thought the game was ours at that point.
