Yea I guess the question is whether that hits Aztec. Seems like you didn't mention it but took it off the list?

Yeah that was one of the God maybe connections that I wasnt sure about. Along with olympus

I'm really thinking Washington is like the most ldo carved answer after thinking about it

otoh, they're running out of animal words, lol

Alright, think I pretty much agree on Aztec. I mean I know they had gods - don't know much more about their religion but it is at least reason to not guess it this turn.

Basically temple is 100% out and aztec/mouth probably out but can be re-visited.

I'm still avoiding ray for sure, but agree iwth your washington/cliff comments (although really those are you just agreeing with me from last time )
Codenames 4v4 LONG LIST Quote
04-14-2021 , 02:48 PM
yeah if it's just temple and mouth, he could probably say confession? or maybe choir

prayer hits god related words a little too much for us to guess aztec anytime soon. do you think olympus would be out too?

yea probably hits Olympus even slightly more than Aztec since Olympus is explicitly gods whereas Aztec just is a culture that had gods

I will say Nich is going to come in and say we should keep the order the same every time for a 0 clue aside from words related to the clue.

And on this one I think I agree. So even if I like Washington it is prob still after the others.

Greece is less connected than the others because it is Greece not Greek thus one more step from gods than Aztec and 2 more than Olympus

could move that down though imo
Codenames 4v4 LONG LIST Quote
04-14-2021 , 03:04 PM
hole/washington/scuba/comic

seem like the best 4 imo in whatever order

then maybe cliff?


if all of those are correct, we'd still need 2 of each it seems


are we missing something with ursula? conductor maybe since the movie is filled with music? fighter? the andress/doctor connection was just debunked


i still like file. if i gave the carved clue, i'm pretty sure i'd always think my team is guessing it

i kinda wanted to move bark down since it has animal equity, but i'm still fine guessing it at the bottom

pretty strongly disagree

it's impossible to connect a lot of these words together, so moving certain ones around is not the biggest deal

and our lists for both clues were obviously not good

plus the bark animal equity

they have 4 animal words

and only 4 remaining words on that list have animal equity. we should not be guessing one of them second imo

also i have no idea how greece even made it on the list tbh. same connection as we were thinking for aztec?

Temple - no, prayer
Aztec - maybe no, prayer
Hole
Bark
Mouth - maybe no, prayer
Comic

Scuba Diver
Olympus - maybe no, prayer to Greek gods?
Cliff
Greece
File
Washington

actually, mouth has to be out or why not just God instead of prayer? Unless aztec or olympus or greece is ours...hmmm

i think for now we consider it out


so that means we have:

hole
bark
comic
scuba diver
cliff
greece
file
washington


of those, bark/cliff are most dangerous as possibly red words, but he also could have gone with Jungle - 0 to get us off of temple/aztec/bark if he really wanted us off of it

also, I think I know their 6 animal words and I don't think bark is one of them

I personally would want you guys to guess down the list after removing temple/aztec/mouth/olympus even if one of these words like bark is red because it could be that while bark is red, everything below it is blue, so by us getting the one red out of the way, he can go unlimited next turn and we get the rest...small price to pay for that benefit

Hmm in your scenario moving bark down is objectively good though.
Codenames 4v4 LONG LIST Quote
04-15-2021 , 01:02 PM
Not if it’s ours

You are basically just saying “not guessing a word when it’s the other team’s word is a good thing”


Well, yeah, but we don’t know if it’s theirs or not

And if it’s neutral we are just kicking the can down the road until it may be do or die

Why does its placement on a really bad list matter where we guess it this turn? I'm extremely lost. Seems like pretty simple game theory not to guess that word 2nd when we got more information between rounds with bug wrong

And guessing Greece before Washington is mind blowing too

i do agree that we'd just be playing chicken with reds on bark for multiple turns if something further down our list ends up not being ours, but how does that change things exactly?

absolutely no need to guess it 2nd. it would help them infinitely more then it helps us. i mean, we still need NINE WORDS that we've been clued for, lol

it's not even that strong of a connection

meanwhile george washington's face is carved into the side of a mountain (sorry for not fully grasping this last round, but i read back and there wasn't any discussion, just one comment i might have overlooked)

we should be trying to figure out the other ursula words too

our list was this...


Witch
Contract
Sound
Mouth - perhaps clued off
Comic - guessing
Scuba diver - guessing

Temple - wrong
Olympus - perhaps clued off
Doctor


there should be two more words out there

i brought up conductor (music) and fighter (with ariel's dad, right?) but it's been forever since i've seen it

ray is also possible, but the whole animal thing
