no they are called tentacles, i believe. but tentacles and arms are really similar... i'd say closer than police and arm

cuz the main thing about octopi are their tentacles(arms)

Looks like cotton and sink?

Yh given sunken

Or could be cold but that's more hot?

Cold is probably the assassin.

I guess we go nail 3rd? I honestly hate it, but don't see how we can do anything different.

cotton

I'm thinking sink over cold, is cold towel a thing? Or towel board or anything?

Cotton

It would be silly not to say sink now. Irtm must've just had a brainfart on that one.

sink

Red

I think we need a funeral word and pass(the word) is my favorite

I still think we should say nail. We've been talking about it since round 1, and we are still short an r2d2 word afaik. Sub (or even sink?) could've been the other funeral word imo.

I just don't get nail

I can't say I fully get point I'd that was it but makes more sense

I don't get nail either, but I've been pretty lost this entire game and he should be expecting us to guess that more than anything.

I think this is the reason to guess nail more than anything else

Why would irtm expect us to guess nail next? I guess this is where I'm lost on it, we mentioned it in a sentence once or something but in a game of 0/1 backups it never struck me as our main backup

Just feels random like picking duck or tag here

Pass(the word) I actually get and did mention it last turn so that I could see fitting for a clue and irtm thinking it was our backup last turn

OK

pass

As in the word to be clear

Sorry guys, it’s never fun having to go with a 0 clue on the 2nd turn.

NASA - 3 was for Telescope/Washington/Board. You guys almost got there, but Cold got mentioned and we were plying catch-up from there. Pupil was a fine guess, I was already trying to figure out how to steer you away from the assassin.

I’m going to channel my inner Nichp for a second and just say this: when I clue NASA, a correct answer is never, ever Cold. When I give clues, I am looking for direct connections/attributes of the specific word I clue. I pretty much stick to the following thought process: What is it? What does it do? What does it have? If a word is on the list that doesn’t hit one of those three questions, then it almost certainly shouldn’t be considered. This is especially true when the connection is secondhand, meaning you must first make a connection to a word that’s not on the list and then make a connection to that word. That’s a no-no.

NASA uses telescopes (What does it do?)
NASA is an agency in Washington (What is it?)
NASA has a board of directors (What does it have?)
NASA is not cold. Space is cold. If you have to go Clue—>Non-list word—>List word, then it is not the word you’re looking for.

A classic example where this happened was when Nich clued “Artful” and our team bolded “Stadium” because Artful’s last name is Dodger. That’s not how this works. I’m beating a dead horse here, but it’s not how I clue.

Dyatlov - 0

I needed to get you off of Cold while also steering you away from Pass, which left Board in a decent spot.

Of course, since none of you were familiar with the Dyatlov Pass Incident, it became moot really quickly.

Filthy was right on - if I had been clueing something from Chernobyl, I would’ve clued…Chernobyl. It figures a) there’d end up being a character named Dyatlov and b) one of you would recall that. Oh well.

I can see why Point was bolded, but again, it mostly related to a connection of a connection (you point a telescope) rather than being directly connected to NASA. But I get it. Not sure why the group was so soft on Board, which got very little discussion.

arm - 3 was for Octopus/Thumb/Nail. Before you call me on Thumb and Nail being a connection to a connection (arm —> hand —> thumb/nail): all three are body parts. I saw the Police connection, but it didn’t bother me. I wanted to clue hand - 3 because I wasn’t sure how I was going to get you guys to Tag, but Pass was a blocker.

I got excited when it looked like the red team might guess Nail in the final round. Probably would’ve clued game - 2 and hoped you’d pick both Board/Tag and avoided Pass to close it out.

All told, it was nice to to shake the rust off. We’ll get ‘em next time.
