Elrond 3

Tough clue. For mine, think I've seen a better option that wasn't in my list earlier.

I can't comment. (Although I'd be curious what it is . In the "in person" game the Spymasters aren't suppose to talk/react, but they can hear/listen to what the teams say/discuss)

Other than to say (for both of you) I'm trying to keep it interesting other than a series of (1s) - and keep you both in contention.

Playing both Spymasters is actually really horrid

This is now "general game chat" so I think should be ok. If you've got your last clue right, you've got 3 in the bank. So you have 2 more to guess. Assuming I can do them in 1 clue. I'd still have to say [Word] 5 to keep you in contention just to give you enough guesses. I think Jiggy's 1 "in the bank", and only 2 left to guess.

It's actually a lot closer but AFAIK you've got to win next turn, or Jiggles can do it with 2 (1s).

So both of you theoretically can win pretty soon - hence trying to push "big" clues on both of you rather than peter to the end.

Smith
Nest

I'd rather not guess a third if I don't have to

You do not have to - you can pass at any time (0/1/2/3 guesses as I said 3). So do you want me to take that as your guesses/order?

[jiggles]

It doesn't matter what order, because they're both 100% correct, but yeah

[Hexx]

I will always ask the question/play dumb -even if you're right

On that note

[jiggles]

Aw, gooseberry fool, I just thought of a third.

Doesn't matter anyway, because nest was apparently not correct.

(If you want my thought process: Elrond played by Hugo Weaving, like a basket, which in nature is basically a nest)

You and I are going to have to have a chat at the end of this

Edit - Ahhhh. Well know you know that's not what I meant

Dismissive 4

[Hexx]

I forgot to ask - have you two played this before by the way?

[jiggles]

I have the game IRL, but I've only played it once.

Ah. Have you tried the pictures version? That is brutal#

I don't know where they got the word list for this tool - but it "feels" a bit worse than in the actual game.

[Roonmastor]

I have played a few times, done words, pictures and undercover.

So guesses for this round:
Whatever
Hide
Aunt
Mistake
Teenager

[Roonmastor]

Ah, I'm locked in so won't change but noticed I only have four to guess total as I have 8 to find and 4 found. Ah well.

I thought Aunt for creature as it sounds a bit like "Ant"

[Hexx]

Where the strawberry float did Aunt come from?

Jiggles wins!

[Hexx]

You two did stonking on first clues.

Mirage - Figment and Mistake was intend

Creature - was aiming for Mascot, Hide (either from or it's Hide), Next

Elrond - Huge Weaving to Agent Smith, Elrond to RING and ROUND, Elron to FELLOWSHIP and BROKEN that was a stretch )

Jiggles next one would have been Record 2(Round shaped, and broken) and hoping he got to mistake

[Roonmastor]

Haha, oh well. Explain 4 Dismissive to me and how I get Bubble and Mascot from that

[Hexx]

Haha, oh well. Explain 4 Dismissive to me and how I get Bubble and Mascot from that

Dismissive was literally for "Whatever"

The number was so you had enough guesses (it's number +1) to go for the creatures you had left from mucking up the time before and then 1 random. (Maybe I should have had said three)

I just didn't see you thinking your Aunty was a dismissive creature

Bubbles I didn't have a plan for at this point (how the hell do you link "Whatever" and "Bubbles"?!?!? I was trying to think Chav/Bubblegum blowing types- but that kept linking in teenage)

Maybe your random guess could have got to it (Creatures blow bubbles!!!) but I didn't really think it would

[jiggles]

Hexx, let's talk about Mirages.
