I wish you never posted a pick, tbh. It is only a game but as you can see after 200 posts, several people spent a fair amount of time strategizing and consulting to get this point in a very tight game that could have been won by either team. Unless a pick is a lock, you generally discuss and agree on it with all or most of your team.

To me it looks like you consulted with yourself and picked, when there was really no reason to do so. So, yeah. It is ****ty loss and a ****ty win.

May be a bit harsh, but yeah I suppose he should have waited. I don't think the game is ruined or anything.

Ours must be olive. Not bolding it, though.

I wonder if AK had a clue. Slip + Olive? Oil might be OK if not for torch.

Yes, I did have clue for slip and olive. It was not a lock, for sure. Not sure I would have needed it though. Wont say it until game is over though.

In retrospect it was not my place to say.. He's not my teammate. They may be fine with the yolo and the "is that good or bad" post. If pwnsall is offended then my bad and I'll apologize. He may have thought they had only a remote chance of winning and therefore had little to lose with a yolo.

The funny thing is is that I kept slip to the bitter end so that xander would have trouble getting rid of ice and trip. But they got ice and trip and had dodged slip...

It's whatever. I didn't think slip was that likely, but not a big deal. Maybe a gentle reminder to wait for his team next time rather than a full on berating would be better?

It's really not that serious. GG. Very clean game red. Good clues & good try xander.

I can clue for us next game unless someone else wants it.

Also, this is a pretty big, albeit irrelevant, breach of game integrity haha.

Yeah. Also Arctic was the one whining in the discussion thread about games not going fast enough. Maybe he's just generally a whiner.

This.

And if we were that serious then your post about olive/slip to Carl would be a forfeit, Arctic. Should be spoilered with a warning or just not posted at all.

This. Would have liked to see a little more discussion, but I didn't love any of our options, and we'd have needed to take a stab at some point.

GG red, and good comeback after a rough start, blue team. We almost got there.

1st, let me apologize ITT if you took offence to my remarks. Your teammates are supportive so it makes no sense for you to step away from the game based on something I said and have apologized for.

my rant you are referring to excluded long games (see below).

It was 3 v 3 games where both guessers agree (see below)



Quote:
I am more concerned about some pace of play stuff than anything. Not talking about the long-list games, as they are, by design (with 50 words and with 5 players on each team), going to take some time. Also not talking about when players can't be on-line as often as others. I get that people have lives. live in different parts of the world, etc. We all understand that.

What bugs me, though is when you have a 3 vs 3 game and one player comes in and says "I like bugle next," and his guessing teammate posts a couple of hours later in and says "I like bugle too," and then they disappear for hours. FFS, the second person needs to just bold bugle. There are only two of you, and you both agree!!!!

Same thing for passing. You get the "I like passing," and the other player says "me too." Then nothing happens... . The 2nd player just needs to bold pass.

I am not saying YOLO to keep the game moving, or cut the back-and-forth discussions down, but we all know when the discussion is over, yet it seems that sometimes it is at this very point where both players go into the woodwork.. If you both agree it doesn't matter who bolds the decision.. Just go!!!

End of rant..lol

I accept your acknowledgement that you were an ahole.

I figured slip had tacit agreement, enough time had been given to comment, and we were going to guess it eventually.

What were our words and logic.

Still out though. Didn't sign up for werewolf.

I'm somehow leaning toward Mercury for the last fishing/centurion word, but I've been out of sync with the clues for most of this game, so I'm not going alone with it.

What's the deal with Mercury? Just because he's a Roman god?

Revolution almost ok for centurion I think

The three posts above all occurred in an uninterrupted sequence

When JM3 is...hmm ..(berating - just kidding, JM3..lol)...nails he explains why slip could never be your word, yet you suggest slip in the very next post.

I am out too. When pwnsall saw that slip was red, and posted "is that good or bad," i thought he was basically mocking the game and the time investment people made. Thus, the post I made I thought was a fitting response. It is not like I was taking to a newb here.

But, I didn't join the game to chase people away, and there is a some chance that people would have not picked olive off of the pimineto clue, so I should not have talked about slip and olive before the game was over. That was bad on my part.

It was all fun guys. You should stay pwnsall. It seems I am/was out of line, and I am now out.

Sorry for chasing a player away peoples.

I have no clue if Mercury is a good answer. Could definitely be haha. Always good to figure out what your teammates see that you don't as part of the group discussion.

I think if it was just me, my final guess would have been something like revolution, duck, tick. Very little chance that's correct, though. & I'm kind of tempted to swap Mercury into there for duck depending on Nails' argument for it.

Mercury, Draft, Teacher also works I think.
