Red Team best team

Sorry. The Gold medal has already been awarded.

Are we sticking to the 1-3 diamonds? For the record, I will be awarding 2, no more no less.

I would like 2 diamonds to be the norm, but with the leeway on occasion for someone to award 1 or 3 if the clues are particularly lackluster or clever.

Anyone who feels like, left to their own devices, they would award as few diamonds as possible should take mark's approach and consider 2 to be the requirement.

Yeah I’m not trying to help y’all beat me by doing more than the minimum, so I’ll do 2

1st thoughts...

Stamp
Knight (I'll assume that should be Rider, tbh neeeeee is enough)
Museum
Sharp
Hmm. There's a few options, probably won't guess any of them, but I like Post
Chance? Game? Both kinda work
Gas
Pot
Thunder

Kill
Tie
Meat
Branch
Diamond
Family
?
Castle
Grape

Good clues
Addams for family likely diamond; wrath if capitalized maybe but not now
DeBeers maybe

I’ll ponder 7 and the diamonds but good round when the diamonds are the toughest part of it.

Stamp
Knight
Museum
Sharp
Pass
Chance
Gas
Pot
Thunder

Kinda like "emergency" for notifications, too, but pass seems optimal.

I forgot about Chance cards in Monopoly when I 1st looked at that one haha.

Do I name diamonds before results now?

If so, I'll go with neeee & Rapper.

Lots of good clues, though. Those are just the 2 that stood out as ones I wouldn't even need other clues to get.

It’s Knights who say Ni

Shouldn’t get diamond for neeeeeeeeeeeee on principle

8/8 JM3, nice job. idk what the triplicate for #5 was

Ah, ok

I don’t know that user

Yeah, he's usually a wolf.

triple for 5 was shove. good job guessing. I'll take one diamond for Rapper. Knight Ridder is/was a big media company. I wouldn't have known Ni but might have gotten there with neeeee

The trupe for 5 was shove, fittingly enough for a poker forum

Diamond recipients are insanity and marknfw!

Ah, push.

Oh, duh. Learned about them in journalism school, then promptly kicked them out of my brain.

You guys did an impressive job of duping, but still leaving 2 good clues that worked together.

My first thought for push was Pepa, lol. Should have gone with the gut.

oof, not a good round for me I'm afraid. 2,3,6,7,8 are the ones I can get instantly (if correct).

Had to think on 5 for a while, and have come up with Game. Have a feeling Game Stop may be a shop in the US possibly? It works for the others. Interestingly, if that is correct, it is Minecraft that led me there even though I've never played it and know next to nothing about it, other than the fact it is a game!

If i were to guess at the others, I would yolo dish for 4. And maybe rubbish for 9? But don't think I can go for either. Really tempted to go for dish to try to keep us in touching distance team, but think the damage if it's wrong is probably worse at this early stage? No clue for 1.


1. Pass
2. Sand. for dunes if correct
3. String. for along if correct
4. Pass
5. Game
6. Hotel
7. Ground
8. Mother
9. Pass

If either of the diamonds above are wrong, give one to Minecraft, but I don't want to encourage clues on things I know nothing about! Can't separate the clues for hotel/ground/mother to pick a favourite
