I think we can pass at this point.
I'm keeping up with the game state right, we've guessed all our clued words?

cool

so, iron for one more?

i don't really have a horse in this race, but did we consider pole, as another nationality thing? i do think there's one more word out in the wild because i don't think TN would re-clue a word so soon

we're possibly missing one for stalag, but it's also possible red team gave it to us with czech

Nice

Looks like we have 12 of 16. I prefer guessing here over passing

Nah it's always good to pass then ask if we should pass in the same post.

An underused troll

So it turns out I messed up the board & there are 18 red words & 15 blue words, & I don't know how to fix this fairly at this point :/

Man, that's a weird circumstance, because depending on what the word is, it might have been something that could have been clued for already by Blue.
I feel like at this point, it can mostly only help red because (probably) the harder words are being left for last, and if it would have taken XX turns to complete their words, it will take at most XX turns with 1 less word, and may take XX-1.

I'm not sure that made any sense. But I think it's a weird situation, I agree.

Probably the only 'make the game as close as possible' situations are to take a random word from Red and give it to blue.

Or restart.

Or maybe take 2 words from Red, make them assassins, and leave blue with 15 and now red with 16?

Yeah, I mean I could shift a rand remaining red word to blue, but that would be confusing af, especially with outstanding clues.

I think a rerand tomorrow might be the only real solution.

Not sure if that will work, what if the random word given to blue/made an assassin is one i've already clued?

I suppose you could also rand between the neutral (non assassin words) and give blue 2 of them? Make it 18-17? No change to any previously clued words that way.

That could work...

Except sometimes cluegivers use neutral words differently than other team's words in terms of being safer blockers. Also, it takes away logic of "if this was our word he would have said 4, not 3".

i think i'd reroll

it kinda sucks but the board mistake + the non-english clue thing sways things a little far in our favor, to the point where it's not much of a game anymore, and i think trying to patch it now is warping on the prior clues

I'm kind of tempted to let it run because if we somehow win from here it will go down as the greatest codenames win of all time

(No chance though, I suck

)

Feels kinda crappy having to restart this far into it, especially since we were overwhelming favourites to win. I guess there's not much you can do about it tho.

Yup.

The list being mistaken affects everything downstream and you can't just undo that.
