Point and hospital should always just be syringe or even scalpel.

I do feel the "I guess" part with your enthusiasm tho hahaha, should we start point/is there anything we're not getting away from?

I don’t understand this.

I think it’s part because people can get stabbed in a body part. There’s a reason it’s stabbed. Point and drill/hospital, aside from having much better clues, doesn’t necessitate the -ed. Part is all I can think of that does, unless there’s some famous guy named Ray who got stabbed and I’ve never heard of him.

Haha yeah, I don’t love it at all. But it’s my best guess.

Totally agreed with bolding point, we’re never not guessing that.

oh body part hmm...but why wouldn't it just be stab then? you can stab someone in the body part all the same

can relook if these 2 are good

Atlantis

Atlantis

My thought was that parts get stabbed. Parts don’t stab.

yea ummm......absolutely nfi on what the last Brazil word should be...almost seems like 1 of Hospital or Skyscraper and the other one is assassin?

I mentioned Drill a million posts ago but I think that would technically be our +1 word if we're thinking it's the same +2 scenario here

I can’t imagine hospital being for Brazil, so I’d guess skyscraper if we needed one of them. Although, I could also make a case for both being ours as stabbed could be a (very poor) clue for point and hospital.

what would be the clue for point and hospital you think? normal STAB lol? idk why I'm toying around with Hospital for Brazil - feels like a geography fun fact irtm or eb would know, like brazil rando has the best hospitals or like LOLawful ones and it's almost like an irony clue...tho those have never worked I guess.

first question still - what's clue for point and hospital?

I don't necessarily agree and still think this spot should be clue - unlimited instead of clue - (N-1) and even made an entire post about it[clue often will be for 3 words, so decipher 'unlimited' as a 2 clue - complicated word + top 1, or 1 clue - easy word + top 2] but OK, assuming you've seen the N-1 thing, in this game it's "unlimited guessing" so....

kinda strange to get a 2 clue on a do or die turn needing 4 unless we were on the right track to begin with - which we clearly were with Atlantis....but what do we do now?

I’m familiar with n-1, but it doesn’t apply here because we didn’t get an n-1 clue. I don’t think the 2-clue is strange. It’s not an unlimited clue because he wanted to make it clear that he has now clued all eight words. There’s no upside clueing unlimited here with four words left. We have to keep guessing until we’re done, so it’s more beneficial to tell us how many words specifically hit stabbed. This is especially true if we hadn’t yet mentioned those words. If we’d lucked into naming all our remaining words, stabbed - unlimited would’ve been fine.

These are all the words we mentioned before this turn:

we can do stuff like Bug for the rainforests angle

Hospital somehow stuck out to me too lol

Foot - Red
Boot - Red

Crown - Red
Bug - Neutral
Hospital - Unguessed (clued off red w/ building - 0)
Skyscraper - Unguessed (clued off red w/ building - 0)
Mug - Ours (Coffee)
Wake - Ours (Coffee)

With Point for the stabbed clue, we now have six. We have to assume we’ve been clued for all of our words (Brazil - 4, coffee - 2, stabbed - 2). We need one more for stabbed and one more for Brazil, and there are no overlaps.

Centaur - no
Comic - no
Cricket - no
Drill - stabbed?
Hospital - stabbed? MUCH better clues get us to Point/Hospital that all but eliminate this for me
Part - stabbed? Unmentioned previously, but as I pointed out, there’s a better clue in finger - 2; of course, not everyone thinks of the same “better” clues, and I know I’m capable of missing better clues when I’m spying
Ray - stabbed? Stingrays have barbs/stingers, which seems like two better clues than stabbed, but maybe?
Shadow - no
Skyscraper - Brazil? There are skyscrapers in Brazil, which is about all I’ve got. But connecting Amazon/Antarctica/Atlantis/Skyscraper seems tough, especially give his the rest of our list has shaped up; that combined with red being hard-clued off of it makes me think this is ours

So, I’m at Skyscraper being our last Brazil word. If you agree, go ahead and bold and then we can talk more about the final stabbed word.

oh yea you did mention those for point + hospital...still not feeling 100% here lol....but I did think you were right before and continue to be right about that

stepping out for a bit I'm gonna have to make a list for each word and look myself after
Forced Unlimited Guessing Codenames Quote
03-12-2023 , 02:09 AM
alright so

Centaur - maybe something for stabbed but I don't get it
Comic - same maybe stabbed but still don't get it
Cricket - this one I wouldn't understand at all and am fine ruling out
Drill - this was in a way our last discussed Brazil word. doesn't really make sense tho
Hospital - we don't like it for stabbed. wouldn't make sense to not 3 it if it was for Brazil so I'm pretty off this
Part - we're off it I assume
Ray - don't fully get it but can't rule out yet
Shadow - don't get it at all, out for me
Skyscraper - obv not stabbed...I don't really get this for Brazil but it does seem like one of hospital or this is ours? maybe not tho

so I'm kinda more on Drill being our last Brazil word...it seems like that or 1 of the 2 buildings, I don't get anything else. but we DID mention this and is the only thing we haven't guessed

wat

I literally quoted every post we made during the first two rounds. Drill was mentioned once, by you, in a mashup of four words (three of them ultimately being red).

The last word either of us (you) mentioned that hasn’t already been guessed is skyscraper.
