Yeah think we have to talk about it.

Hell if arm is ours maybe we'll trick them into picking it!

I'm fine with not picking arm.

Port could be red wine, but that is pretty damn thin

Maybe it's pistol telescope and torch! Sad!

Yeah, I suppose torch could have been the crossover word...

Regardless, if revolution is right, we should probably order our individual top 3 preferences & wait for xander.

Alright, I think revolution was likely but not certainly the red word.

Leaning towards dismissing arm because of Iran and tong

Don't like France (almost definitely not red, think a different clue for revolution France and pistol)

Still sort of like torch but I'll never get off that one.

Not sure about this racket angle. Could have just said Bang?

Probably torch then arm for me.

I think we lose revolution with bang.

My order is probably Racket/France/Torch. & I like all 3 to some extent, but don't love any of them.

Arm, France, racket, telescope, and torch are the only ones I see that it could possibly be?

The rest seem basically impossible.

Racket seems sorta ok. Any reason we should dismiss it (like it would have been added on to cricket but wasn't or it's another teams word)

I don't get your fixation with torch. Torches aren't red.

Bang wouldn't have worked for revolution.

It's arm or racket. I like arm a little better but it's also more likely to be blue.

I think there's a chance he was cluing for that instead of stick for cricket, but who knows?

It was Field/India/Stadium/+1. The +1 could have been stick or block. He could have also been afraid of running into arm if he went too aggressive. If he was thinking of the animal, then racket makes some sense as the 4th, but if he was thinking specifically about the intricacies of cricket, it's hard to differentiate between stick/block/arm...

I don't know. Feel like I'm just talking in circles.

Blue needs 3 to win. Let's assume they'll get it done with or without our help. That being the case there's no reason to avoid arm.

It comes down to what we like better between arm and racket with zero consideration of one of them being blue.

I'm leaning towards arm.

Tong could be racket or arm, really anyway.

I like torch just because flint=torch.

I am starting to lean arm as well, but it's not that if we guess it and it's there's they'll win, it's that the odds of it being there's makes it less likely to be ours.

My problem with arm is that I don't think nails goes with a 0 clue just to get us off 1 word.

sorry I've been absent for ~2 days

work has been busy and the wife and dog has been sick which means I've had approximately 30 seconds to myself in the last 48 hours

If torch was our word then why not give the clue of "gunpowder"?

I agree it's unlikely but perhaps its worth it for a dark orchid?

I don't like arm anyway because why wouldn't you just say "war" for arm, pistol and revolution?

flintlock is very specifically something and I don't see the point of it for just pistol and revolution

Flintlock is specific

Does it originate from France or Tokyo?

Is there a 2nd meaning to the word?

Is there any celebrity/notable person with the last name Flintlock?

1st pass:

Arm - Not guessing this because of the Iran 0
France
Lawyer
Ninja
Oil - Not guessing this because of the Iran 0
Port
Racket - If stick is good enough to be part of cricket 4 then this would make is cricket 5
Saturn
Teacher
Telescope
Tokyo - Probably tongs
Torch - Musket or War is surely a better clue than flintlock
Water
Wave

2nd Pass:

France
Lawyer - No connection to the specificity of flintlock
Ninja - Ninja is probably tongs
Port
Saturn - No connection to the specificity of flintlock
Teacher
Telescope - I think that rifle would connect revolution/pistol and telescope?
Water
Wave
