IN. Also, did we land on the concept that using the Internet was bad for this? Like you name someone or something whose wiki or google prominently throws up those words, etc. |

Thinking about this (and being reminded that Grim ragequit over this), how about: Everyone agrees to no googling. Do not enter the clues into Google (or Bing or DuckDuckGo or Astalavista.box.sk etc etc). I can't stop you cheating... but unless someone on your team is also cheating, this is risky, because your obscure clue is likely to backfire. If you have some random esoteric knowledge that lets you cleverly bind three words together into one clue, go for it, but remember clever clues are only half the game: your team has to understand them. |

One more person will make it 5x5, which seems like a good size. Any takers? |

OK, that's ten, so I'll stop it there. I've randomised the list to make teams: TEAM RED: Curio Mimi Mr Russell GazChap Lonewolves TEAM BLUE: DavPaz Cras romanista Vision Malc Do you want to select captains, or just use the random order and pick the first ie. Curio and DavPaz? |

I’m happy to have Curio as captain of Team Winners’R’Us if he’s game and my teammates are without objection. Random is as good as any other reason. |

Curio is a poor choice. In fact him and me on the same team - this won't end well! |

Done. In my defence, past-me set the spreadsheet up correctly, but current-me misread it and forgot about the assassin. |

Kangaroo seems likely. Also cricket perhaps, team? Though it's antipodean, not Australian. |
