Ervin,

Tag - books have price tags
Trunk - his stories are about (fantastic) voyages, trunks were packed for voyages back when he was around
Van - nfi

I'm probably on War and Trunk at this point

More specifically the version of freeze tag where you have to crawl under someone’s legs to unfreeze them

who doesn't love it when I go through heavy last turn analysis

Check - seems really hard to link with Atlantis. Can't fully rule this out yet
Degree - also seems hard, also could work...maybe there's some word like frozen or boil that could do this but tough
Drill - Obv not for Verne, outside chance for Prison but right now I'm pretty off this given their last clue
Hood - once again hard, also could be a candidate? also could be a proper name
Note - off of this for the Mahler reasons
Tag - could work for Prison maybe? not for Verne but a candidate for word #3
Trunk - this one I'm kinda off - seems like some kinda submerged/sunken/treasure whatever could get us to this easier
Van - Van Verne? could be some kinda proper name maybe but not really seeing this one. Prison Van eh, think I'm off this for good
War - Prison candidate. At first I thought we were idiots for not guessing it but the clue wasn't Prisoner after all which makes this iffier for me

none of us have anything so I guess I'll just yapperdoodle a sec

Check + Atlantis = ?? maybe this guy is also a famous banker/capitalist, i have no idea
Degree + Atlantis = 20000 is a legal clue...idk, we have to make some decisions so I guess I'm off this unless it's a famous professor? dangit maybe it is idk I'm not off this
Hood - kinda works, has the book reference if that's the thing...dunno how we got to Atlantis exactly, the 20000 leagues thing I guess? ok so still a candidate

ok that's where I'm at for the 3 Verne candidates. If you wanna discuss Van this is the last chance on that, I can't fully rule it out but seems...bad...but I dunno how you combine Van and Atlantis...I dunno how you combine anything and Atlantis, it's like a mini assassin cause it doesn't ever go with anything and is always blocked 5 different ways on water junk

you think EB expects us to know all this stuff? I guess Canberra is a...pretty...important Australian city? I would be getting destroyed on these solo, mighta guessed something like Verne for the name of a dude in the Hood and a brand of a Van so very thrilled with Atlantis result

still don't dislike the Check idea either, Verne doesn't not sound like someone with cheddar

It's simply amazing how you know nothing about Jules Verne and yet still are able to cut your list down to three.

Maybe he's this! Maybe he's that! Add it to the list!

Yes, this totally checks out with every post you made prior to this one. Apologies for completely ignoring his hard you were pushing War.

And looks like I'm gonna get to stubborn erv this round cause I'm not a fan of a bunch of words. Don't think note is ever right cause we got 2 off the Mahler clue,

Gonna relook shortly but I don't know if I'm sold on war either

I'm more on Hood(some kinda little red riding hood connection if this person is an author?) or Degree(doesn't seem like the Fahrenheit 451 person or I dunno if there is some kinda book relating to degrees but somehow could be right, could also just have a college degree/famous prof?)

But OK we need a 2nd Verne...do you know anything more about this fellow that would stick out?

hey I kinda nailed it on knowing Gustav Mahler...tho solo I woulda messed up and gone note, that is where you and insanity come in with the clutch logic

one of these days i'll know how to multiquote like that...i don't even know how on the computer, keep going next page and it remembers? i feel accomplished with 2

are you off degree?

you thinkin more hood or check? (i still know nothing)

wait insanity wasn't kidding about Troyer and Lundquist people...and neither are you?

who are they?
Regular Run of the Mill NO LIST Codenames! Quote
08-28-2022 , 12:42 AM
the Lundquist option in particular sounds relevant as EB typically does elegant clues and not sloppy "Vern" stuff
Regular Run of the Mill NO LIST Codenames! Quote
08-28-2022 , 12:43 AM
atlantis/van is saturn imo

i'm still on degree. or trunk, but prefer degree because at least we can think of atlantis/trunk clues

ok i'm willing to lose by that, dunno htf you know that

what about Hood then? I don't like either of your 2 candidates as I believe there are clearer clues than a "Verne" which creates chaos amongst the team

Alright so I'm not against degree

20000 isn't an EB type clue and perhaps this dude is a professor of some kind in literature, written a lot of books seemingly so dec chance

We've got 3 proper noun clues - I'm guessing that was for Atlantis and that was the stretch and we're supposed to know who this guy is

Degree doesn't seem bad I'll sign off

If it's correct ready to have round 3 debate over war cause I'm totally off that

So War and Degree then? I'm fine with that.

Eeeeh tho almost seems like Frozen or something could get this.....

are we sure it's not Check or Hood? talk me out 1 more time

08-28-2022 , 12:55 AM
Degree just feels off doesn't it? the clue could be more watery than a proper noun? I guess college degree if we're supposed to know this guy but what if it actually is Check(or Hood still)

08-28-2022 , 12:55 AM
I'm not interested in debating War. If both of you are against it, then fine. If either of you like it, then majority rules imo.
