Your clue isn't obvious it's vague. Vague is clueing wheels when the topic is cars. Too obvious would be clueing Slash for Guns and Roses when the topic is bands.

An obvious clue means you're a villager but you gave it away to the chameleon.

A vague clue a lot of the time means you're the chameleon

Yeah wheels-cars is a good analogy here. Maybe someone can confirm whether they think this city actually dominates airports in some way? Not front of my mind when I thought about this city but everyone knows different things.

I see a connection for Xander and d1

Airport is obviously broad but I get it

1973 I have no clue and not sure how I will be able to get that

I’m between 1973 and airport right now, leaning born if nothing in game state changes

I'm quite sure I get D1. Probably don't get nich's or xander's. Does anyone understand nich's?
My clue is more gettable if you start from the city and something it is known for (something other than sports or airports) than if you start from the clue.

As a noob I had a look to find rules, and found these:


Rules for forum play

1. As opposed to the usual game, I will mod all games & rand a themed word list, secret word, and Chameleon from using a spreadsheet Carl has created.

2. Non-chameleons will be sent the list plus secret word and the chameleon will be sent the list only.

3. Players post their clue word in this thread in spoiler tags. You cannot change this clue once it has been posted. Don’t edit these posts. DO NOT look at any other clue words until you have posted yours.

4. Clues are supposed to be one word. We can be less nitty in this game than in codenames. Hyphens, acronyms, and the like are all fine.

5. Once all clues have been posted, debate as to the identity of the Chameleon can begin. (No need to wait for mod to announce) Nothing said in the thread is binding. PM your official vote to the mod, after which point it cannot be changed. Let’s set a 24 hour maximum time to send in a vote after debate has begun.

6. Mod will reveal the votes. If the Chameleon is correctly identified, they can attempt to guess the secret word right in the thread.

7. Ties: In a 5 player game, 2 v 2 ties are broken by making the odd player re-vote. (Note that this is only necessary if the chameleon is one of the tied players.)

Scoring

Chameleon is caught by village, can't guess word: 20 points to all villagers, 0 to chameleon

Chameleon is caught by village, can guess word: 10 points to chameleon, 0 to villagers

Chameleon escapes vote: 20 points chameleon, 0 to villagers.

Voting the chameleon as a villager: 5 points (self voting is not allowed)

Wait until I post that all PMs have gone out to make your word selection.

I see nothing on research, but assume as with most things POG generally LOLRESEARCH unless stated?

**MOD NOTE**

You can research before giving your clue and not after that.

**/MOD NOTE**

Cool cheers FMK!

In which case, my spot is:
- D1ab's seems good
- I don't get Borninabin's and if no one does seems a good Chameleon candidate
- Of Nich, "jewels" is definitely a good clue for some of the other words in play, so could be a good bluff.
- For XB "coffee" is not a clue for lots of them that I can see, feels specific, soooo seems more ok

Overall I'd vote Borninabin given nothing else, so, lets see.

You're talking about it all as if you don't know the word.

Do you understand my clue?

Not at all. I don't understand Nich's either.

They're all global cities (lol Honk Kong) but I'm not familiar of this city being famed for much other than being a city, some of its birth people, and some other things from films + TV that I can't attach to any clues

Ok makes sense

I'm willing to ease off on DZ for now. I've been happy with his answers recently

Nich talk to me about your clue. How many people would you expect to understand it with no prompting? Who is most likely to understand it?

Yeah it's probably not dr Zeus imo.
Everyone seems to understand D1's clue (I think dr Z sees another connection than I do, might be at least one of them is the intended one) and nich clears Xander, though any of them can have had a lucky shot.
If needed I can try and clear myself more since some people say they're leaning me, but I think the chameleon already has some info to work with. Leaning one way but keen to hear more from both nich and D1.

Xander, yours isn’t really about coffee is it?

I want to confirm I have the right connection.

**MOD NOTE**

End of day 2 hours. :47 good, :48 bad

I think we can just vote nich and call it a day.

I would think you would be likely to understand it, but you haven't run a T thunderdome yet so not positive you have

Atlanta dominates airports but isn't on the list

I get what you mean, though.

born, is 1973 the year a certain thing was completed into existence?

I would rather not confirm or deny this for the chameleon to have more info. It's not me, so it doesn't really matter if you have the right connection or not

damn

it turns out I'm not allowed to change my vote

we were in the other game we were playing

I had Nich as a placeholder but regret that now after his posts

Xander we now play youre allowed to change your vote until EoD, but EoD was :48 was bad.

Reveal time:

xander, d1, and born voted nich
nich voted born
Dr Z forgot to vote

the chameleon was:

Two things

1, ugh @ him not knowing; I almost had it

2, zeus’s vote is automatically on next person in the player list by default when the round starts per our rules

It won’t save me, but should still be done for completeness

At first I was thinking London and its 2 airports and farm for Animal Farm so Orwell and people thought Crown Jewels was pretty good so I didn’t get much heat. And coffee was for tea so tea time.

But then I figured maybe it’s just Chicago
