no reserving in games 1 & 2; we just alternate who is second team between game 1 and game 2; only game 3 do we do reserving

it's jmurder's turn

covid talk is basically small talk right now, so it could even go a little lower, but it's a heavy subject so i like it slightly on the heavy side

but nobody sits around talking about the second spectrum, so i'm a little shocked the same person thought covid was 12 for that reason but that this was only a 15

In my defense, 15 is a hard one to clue for that spectrum

But I'm glad that at least one other person had the same logic as me for COVID

I've definitely had small talk about racial disparities in prenatal nutrition haha

My other potential option for 15 was "long-term geopolitical consequences of Scotland's failed attempt to colonize Panama" (which is a legit fascinating story, google the Darien Expedition), but I thought it had too much variance

Definitely weird

But still an actual greeting that makes sense, just using really dorky word choices

I think this is never lower than 16 at the very least but I have just been badly burned by the previous clue and would like to think this though.

If I have to give a number, I will say 17. It is super weird, but it is still clearly a greeting.

Question for my teammates: do you think JMurder clues super high numbers (19-21) as extremely weird **** that nonetheless functions as a greeting (which is what JMurder posted) or something that would normally NOT be interpreted as a greeting at all?

I lean towards the former, because the right end of the spectrum is "weird greeting" and not "not a greeting" but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

Hmmm it's a very weird greeting and I would definitely think JM3 would clue high numbers as extremely weird **** that still constitutes a greeting, I definitely would anyway.

Think it's higher than 17, 18 or 19 imo.. leaning 19

What sort of weird greeting would be 20/21 that would still make sense?

I like 17-18 more than 18-19; good with 18 as compromise

Just need Ervin to weigh in; we have less than 3 hours I think

18 is last number mentioned in case we miss time

Gotta be careful after saying 3 hours

18

Yeah i'm fine with 18

We have until 10.20PM so 1 hour 40 min

(19 is my guess though if filthy is still doing the individual scoring thing)

2

Ugh; again, this is a strange greeting so above 11, but it’s still a somewhat normal greeting, just using adjectives for the more standard words used

I’m starting to think this is more like 14; 18 is pretty high for a standard greeting using synonyms

So, breaking it down,

“Greetings fellow humans” is probably like a 12-13; just slightly weird

Then he changes greetings to salutations so that bumps it to a 14

Then he changed humans to “bipedal vertabrate mammals” which makes it maybe a 17

Ok, I’m fine with 18

I’d guess 16 or 17 for filthy’s thing tho

I guess my official filthy guess is 17 and I like that for our guess

But I won’t argue 18, even if my gut feeling is it’ll be 16

18 for last number

UD: 17
Me: 18-19
Nich: 16-17

Average is 17.3 so 17 atm

Is it just AE who hasn't weighed in? I would be OK with going 17 if it's the final average, definitely not lower though
