Seems reasonable. I guess the issue is if we assume their clue was for that list - shampoo then they have a chance to win this turn

I still wonder if there is something both teams are missing with Krakow-0. Cluing off the unlisted 5th word when the first is wrong still feels odd whether it is ours or assassin.

I'll just say that it's somewhat surprising that he wouldn't go for a word to eliminate both shampoo + polish if that's all he was doing. Something like sheen - 0?

I guess that might be close to kicking off washer, too...

Alright, I'm good if AE agrees and wants to pass

Make them sort their mess out. Honestly, there is a chance they do but it is not clear what we'd guess even if we wanted to so that makes passing sensible

Yea I'm thinking let's just pass with a

polish
washer

list and we can get all the info we need next turn. We'll either get something like metal-unlimited if both are right, *word* - unlimited for something else and washer, *word* - 1 for something else and polish, and *word* - 2 for 2 entirely different words

Yeah, this is correct.

I think it's important to leave a longer list for strategic reasons that I won't spell out

I'm definitely not trying to cross the line and go into wonky stuff but this does seem like the meta we have here and the whole purpose of lists so spelling it out mid-game rather than before/after doesn't seem too bad(and good chance pwns knows all this anyway)

It was definitely very close to the line though so my b - I think saying something like "Clue us Viking - 3 if the words are point, salsa, sherlock" or some junk that has nothing to do with anything would be against the spirit

I don't think it has any impact in this particular situation, but all we can really do is make our list clear, & let the cluegiver decide what to do with that information.

Forest, root, yard, and rose seem like the most likely tree words. Rose (girl's name) has some babysitter equity. Which we don't need, I guess.

i'm just trying to figure out what's going through his head this round

after getting the 2 obvious babysitter words, normally he would have gone with a regular clue (like tree, for example), but instead he did Krakow - 0

it only makes sense if yard+washer+rice are ours so we get 3 words for the clue, and maybe he didn't like how he would connect those so was ok with neutral turn 2 to get those 3 words

so i think we have to assume those 3 are ours

and forest/root are locks for tree

so those 5 then we need to decide on final word?

i think we should go ahead and bold

forest
root
yard
washer
rice

and then look at the list fresh once we get those out of the way to look for final word

our list in case one of above is wrong can be:

rose
point
wall

but let's look at those after we bold the first 5 if still alive
