Possibles from a different angle:

Nun: eyebooger is fav
eyebooger: building similarity, crucifixtion
MRI: flying bees/flying nun, lots of crosses on the hobbit house windows/door

General: gad is fav
gad: armor, crown
MRI: flags, but bottom pic doesn't relate to general at all

Archaeologist: d1ab is fav
mark: bullwhip indy jones
d1abolical: whole pic screams indy jones, shooting from the wall, running with an object, being chased

Postman: pwns is fav
pwns: emblem on hat matches stilt guy, posts for legs
d1ab: postmen run from dogs
eyebooger: scarecrow is man on post, nothing else matches though
mri: there's a house to deliver mail to

Governess: eyebooger fav
eyebooger: keys and hat match
pwns: yarn

Watchmaker:
mark: tools, one of the watchmaker tools shaped like the scyth in my card


Bagpiper: gad is fav
gad: lochness scotland connection

Barber:
mark: cutting tools

I still liked watchmaker for eyebooger the most because it was night in both pictures and the watch was pointing at 1 am.

Also don’t think anyone else mentioned pwns archeology connection.

Bird headed gods of Ancient Egypt > archeology

That is unless we think the Indians Jones thing is a lock which it might be. So then this is moot.

Indiana Jones seems pretty locky to me. Very iconic

So which one do you want pwns? Postman? I kind of like that for myself the most, but could see it being either of us

mark: watchmaker/barber

d1ab: archaeologist

you don't think the emblem on the postman's hat is exactly stilt guy in postman?

I didn’t look at it that closely before, but I guess there’s a decent chance that you’re right. I guess I could see the crosses to nun connection for my second pic, but the flying bees and nuns is lost on me.

Mark brought up a good point about the emblem.

I didn't even think of the Scotland thing for mine

though the only thing that says Scotland about my picture is just that it's a sea monster, right?

(which I also didn't notice at first)

Btw the Scottish theme is also connected to the general. There’s Scottish flag and a Scottish soldier in the uniform in the picture. So that combined with a knight riding the Loch Ness monster (Something you’d expect from a Scottish soldier) makes me think the general is more likely than the bagpiper since there are more clues pointing to it.

But then again the bagpiper image yells Scotland louder than the general so that one is tough.

I think mark is barber for sure, so many tools associated with cutting things.

no hard deadline for guesses right now, tho we want to try to do a 24-hour cadence per round ideally if that ends up working for everyone; round one maybe a little longer

but really, we have 7 rounds so no need to be too painstaking each round; the 24 hours is more to give everyone time to get on and discuss and then bold and add tokens to bold guesses. i wouldn't expect people to torture themselves for hours trying to get it perfect all the time

i just reviewed rules and they do place cards in front of psychic as they finish each person

so from hour 2 onwards I will post them in the order I chose them

I guess I'll go with Barber for me. Only other thing I could be is watchmaker. That barber really does look like sweeny todd.

you can use more than 1 token, but you only get 6 all game and can't use on yourself.
your goal is to get to SEVEN on the clairvoyant track. Up to 6 using these tokens + 1 per hour that you finish your 3 cards before the 7th round (e.g., if you finish in hour 5 then you get 2 points on that track)

Can I (if I wanted to) also put a token on mark for correct?
Inaugural POG Mysterium: Signup and Game Thread Quote

yes, everyone but mark can put one on him; there is no limit to overlap

everyone can also bet on multiple people in a round

everyone can also choose barber as their guess, but only one can be barber (or nobody since 8 characters for 6 psychics)

the only rules are you can't bet on yourself, you can't put more than 1 on a person (so can't put correct and incorrect on mark) and you only get 6 tokens per game
