my team's backlog:
enemy's backlog:

Y: BED HELICOPTER PITCH SCHOOL MUG CONCERT GOLD MAPLE
N: NUT SATELLITE STREAM TRIANGLE BAT POOL ORGAN
-: BAR PORT ROW AMERICA DIAMOND LINE DOG
X: JET

sleep gives BED, but if i do sleep (2), will they get SCHOOL?
is MAPLE a stretch for color; will they go for JET black instead?

N1: fireflies (2)
- bug
- what else?

Y1: sleep (2)
- bed is obvious
- hoping they get "school"; i don't think anything else makes enough sense that they'd guess it
- what are they backlogging

Red team: PotatoLatte, Razetime, Bobble (joined later)

RED: NUT, SATELLITE, STREAM, BOTTLE, BAT, TRIANGLE, BUG, POOL, ORGAN.
-
BLUE: BED, HELICOPTER, PITCH, SCHOOL, MUG, CONCERT, MAPLE, GOLD.
YELLOW: BAR, PORT, AMERICA, ROW, DIAMOND, LINE, DOG.
BLACK: JET. (!!! Oh god, I have STREAM and SATELLITE, this will be hard.)

Me first. Hnnngh. I can practically hear the Wii music playing in my head. This is a terrible set of words, Blue got a much better set. TWO of my words are way too f*cking close to the assassin.

Blue: Me and Platypus. We can do this.

BLUE: GROUND, BAR, WATCH, KANGAROO, POLE, DECK, SUB, STAR, TAP.
-
RED: CAR, BACK, MICROSCOPE, SOLDIER, CLOAK, EMBASSY, CHOCOLATE, SNOW.
YELLOW: SATELLITE, TEACHER, BERRY, SPOT, ROW, LINK, GHOST.
BLACK: MISSILE.

Okay, our turn first. Gotta avoid MISSILE at all costs. Eesh, these are kinda shit words.
SUB+DECK = Boat (2)? Oh, god, I hope he doesn't connect MISSILE to boats...
Ughh, okay. I've got no other options. PLEASE do not hit MISSILE.
ROW? what?? well, it's yellow, at least...

235409900

RED is my team

Red words: CAR, BACK, MICROSCOPE, SOLDIER, CLOAK, EMBASSY, CHOCOLATE, SNOW


Blue: GROUND, BAR, WATCH, KANGAROO, POLE, DECK, SUB, STAR, TAP

YELLOW: SATELLITE, TEACHER, BERRY, SPOT, ROW, LINK, GHOST

Black: MISSILE

Okay.



Hm. Why are my words so hard. I could do War and Peace hehe stealing from last round.

Oooh, I *might* be able to do it big with WINTER (4) for SOLDIER, CLOAK, CHOCOLATE, and SNOW, though it could hit POLE.

WINTER (2) SOLDIER and SNOW could be safe. But again, POLE.

454765344 Seed:

Blue words:
Roulette, satellite, leprechaun, dragon, missile, grass, theater, Africa, fish

Red words: Moscow, soldier, Germany, button, cap, screen, bank, tube

Okay clues mythical for (2). Dragon and leprechaun. Seen and got.

El'endia send me a secret. Asks if Winter March of 1918 is a valid clue. Probably going for Russia, Germany, and soldier. I think it's valid. I don't know if Sid would hit all of them though....

Sid guesses Germany and Soldier correctly.
I didn't know Germany was communist

454765344

I am the Red SM, up against North for Blue.

Red words: BUTTON, BANK, MOSCOW, SOLDIER, GERMANY, CAP, SCREEN, TUBE
Blue words: ROULETTE, SATELLITE, AFRICA, FISH, LEPRECHAUN, MISSILE, GRASS, DRAGON, THEATER
Yellow words: CAPITAL, EMBASSY, PRINCESS, SPRING, GENIUS, OIL, CHEST
Assassin: STADIUM

At first glance this seems like a pretty decent board for me. I wonder if I can do WINTER MARCH OF 1918 (3) to get GERMANY, SOLDIER, MOSCOW. I'll ask the other SM.

---

Blue: MYTHICAL (2)

"they're not here right now" hahaha

548416554

I am the Red SM up against ElizB for Blue.

Red words: KNIFE, DRAGON, FOOT, CHANGE, CAST, VAN, NIGHT, LEMON, TIE
Blue words: PART, CROWN, POST, COTTON, ROBIN, POUND, BOW, GHOST
Yellow words: DEATH, TUBE, GENIUS, STICK, CANADA, SATELLITE, KID
Assassin: RING

-

DRAGON and LEMON seem to be the odd ones out this time. Perhaps LANCE (2) to get KNIFE and DRAGON? Gonna need a lot of thought to clue LEMON with any of my other words. Humph.

DRAGON + CAST = SPELL (2) is another possibility. Let's do that.

Red: SATELLITE HOLLYWOOD BILL TEMPLE DRILL TELESCOPE ALPS STRING
Blue: HOLE SLIP PIANO SHOE LINE FRANCE PUPIL SPELL GAS
Yellow: FOREST HAWK MERCURY SUB GRASS DRAGON TOOTH
Black: BUTTON

I see nothing
SATELLITE + TELESCOPE = Space (2), but that could hit MERCURY.

Maginot(2) clued. FRANCE and LINE apparently intended. Now that I think about it, that sounds
familiar, but I forget what it is

Are TELESCOPES "machines," per se?
Got it. HOLLYWOOD + TEMPLE = Indiana Jones (2)

El'endia gets it immediately.

603164902

MODEL, PLOT, CLIFF, KANGAROO, ORANGE, STICK, WAVE, MEXICO, AMAZON.

Assassin: CAP.

"graph" - MODEL, PLOT, WAVE, and a slightly more tenuous CLIFF. SATELLITE is yellow. Should be fine.

(gives "graph" clue)

MODEL seen. PLOT seen.

"FILMs can be graphic." - it was "graph", not "graphic"...

"WAVE graph might be a thing??" - Sorta, yes. "Putting that fifth though" - 1.) ... 2.) you don't even have a fourth at the moment.

"Possibly ROSE, 'cause I think petal graphs are a thing." - never heard of that...

BLUE: LASER BAT CODE EGYPT MISSILE HODD PASTE GHOST
RED: COVER REVOLUTION BEAR SOUL SOUND MIRCROSCOPE DROP SWING SATELLITE
BLACK: COMPOUND

Hmm, GHOST and SOUL are opposite colors, as are SATELLITE and MISSILE

SONAR for BAT and MISSILE? Might hit SOUND.

Honestly, this board looks like it'll be tough to hit just a two.

I wonder if I could got CODE and PASTE. Maybe COPY? Or maybe "ctrl-v" if that's valid?

TARGETTING for LASER and MISILE? I can't tell how likely that is to hit SATELLITE.

STAR WARS for LASER/MISSILE/GHOST (Force Ghost) Likely to hit revolution.

396680162

I am the Red SM, up against DJMcMayhem for Blue.

Red words: COVER, REVOLUTION, BEAR, SOUL, SOUND, MICROSCOPE, DROP, SWING, SATELLITE
Blue words: LASER, BAT, CODE, EGYPT, MISSILE, HOOD, PASTE, GHOST
Yellow words: BOLT, CHICK, NIGHT, DEGREE, CHECK, BATTERY, WELL
Assassin: COMPOUND

MICROSCOPE + SATELLITE makes me think of technology and science, but LASER (blue) and BATTERY (yellow) get in the way.

DROP + BEAR = RUSSIAN (2)? Lol. Oooh wait, if I add REVOLUTION that could be a (3) clue. I'mma go ahead and play that- actually y'know what, DROP is not obvious there so that should be…

Second game, this time against MSH

Red: Round, Sock, Compound, Bark, Post, Net, Plot, Rose.
Black: Heart

Awesome words I have...

Rose, Bark plantstuff. 2 but no FP. Maybe add Compound somehow?
Spyfall for Round / Post / Net / Plot? Not much plotting, and less rounded than the other two. Instead, consider something with Sock.

Plot / Rose / Round = Revolution? Too Heart-y.

Msh asks for permission for Telescope. Spyglass suggested instead.
Nope. Spyglass not acceptable. Telescope(3) played.
Watch, Satellite seen. Microscope seen. 3/3 blue.

389366286
Blue: cliff, watch, life, microscope, worm, satellite, grace, plastic, slip
heart is black (not _my_ heart of course)

watch + Cliff = The Cosby Show
watch + cliff = lighthouse? risks head/y, beach/y
microscope? (both tools for seeing close-up) + satellite + watch = telescope
plastic + slip = photo album??

Trying telescope (3) first.

Actually... consulting with the other SM, to be sure:
> Is "telescope" a legal clue with "microscope" on the board?

Reply:
> I'd prefer "spyglass", but if that's not acceptable with you, I'll allow.

192901548

Red: switch band Moscow cover field fair mint star Czech
Assassin: satellite

cover + field = grass ?
star + field + band? = American flag
-- risks embassy (yellow). And they're called stripes, never bands

Moscow + Czech = Europe

Starting with Europe in absence of anything better

Okay, they got those easily, as I'd expected

Blue clues girl (4), probably going for chick, head, foot, and... glove?

star + field + switch = light -- risks satellite, assassin

mint + field + band? (Sgt.) = pepper
