Correct, nice job.

We def had an easier board there, and I was fortunate to find a really good 1st pic that hit our words hard and also avoided a bunch of potential blockers. I was expecting you to say model there tho...she is literally smiling for the camera lol.

Gg insanity/blues.

Also think no numbers is probably the way to go in this format.

Agreed. Still think red has advantage, but less so.

I think I'm next? As blue vs Ervin as red?

gg

i had a better shot of ending up on an FBI watchlist from my searches than connecting with my final 5, so i punted. actually almost conceded

was somehow hoping you'd guess groom or steam for white, but that was unrealistic. and chocolate was the 4th best guess anyway

i do think you should just fire away any connection on a clue like that tho instead of passing, especially after they started with 4

Yeah, I also think overguessing>underguessing (up to a point). If you don't guess a word that was intended, then that just means the spymaster will have to reclue it. You kinda just have to trust them to keep you away from the bad stuff.

In this case, I was thinking you'd be easily able to clue model again, given that the majority of online pics with a human in it could work. 3 of 4 pics used in this game had a model in it. (Obv skewed because of the presence of the word, but still)

Because it would be relatively easy to re-clue, I felt better about passing on it.

Didn't really matter in the end anyway, but if you passed before guessing collar, that would've made things a bit tricky.

Regardless, I agree that being more aggressive in guessing is correct.

Pool/shark/yard for sure.

Day?
Suit?
Round?
Chest?

I feel like guessing at least until suit can't be too terrible. Round still seems okayish, but chest might be pushing it.

I'm cool to guess up to round if you are. They probably aren't all ours, but I doubt there's too much assassin equity in there either.

Ugh; I use tapatalk and subscribed threads show me when there are new posts but this thread disappeared from the view and I completely forgot since I didn’t see it

Sorry, Ervin

I'd have suit third or fourth at worst. Above day for sure.

Round worries me a little because the pool is not round and I feel like he could have found a round pool pretty easily.

I'm fine putting suit ahead of day, but still think yard should be ahead of it.

The pool looks pretty round to me? Well, roundish anyway. We can leave it off tho if you're worried about it...getting 5 would put us in a really good spot anyway.

I think it's kind of raft shaped.

The majority of kitty pools like that are circular, and I'd think there would be no shortage of shark-themed ones.

Pool
Shark
Yard
Suit
Day

With round as first back up

Go ahead and bold if you want
