Is this thing on?

TheVision · **Posted:** Mon Nov 06, 2017 12:30

Oh yeah.. I'd be happy to guess King. I don't see what else we can do?

A third and we'll do it

SWING is RED

Red team wins!

Yaaaayy! Go Red Team!

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12243

And well done, Blue Team!

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12243

And thanks, Rich for running it!

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25594

That was good fun, and not too taxing.

I think DavPaz should explain his clues now

I’m still stuck on one and I had the answers in front of me.

Dunkirk was a risk for me as it wasn’t really ‘England’ but the only single word war films that I could think of with British soldiers were that, Zulu (which being set so far away I thought made it more risky) and Dambusters, and I am 99% sure that it was a specifically Scottish squadron in that, which I thought would work against us.

Good work red team. And good work Davpaz, sorry we didn't quite make it over the finish line

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

I was stumped to honest and "Dunkirk" was an amazing clue to start with.

Calamari was a "rome" clue, believe it or not :facepalm:

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

...oh

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

What was the last one we missed?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Wait, was it glass?

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32619

No, Rome was your only remaining word.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

It was link. I never actually got to give a clue for that one.

I did warn you.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Mon Nov 06, 2017 14:32

Wait, what?

As in Calamari being an Italian word?

they got rome - I'm proper confused now.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25594

See, I thought calamari = link because calamari rings COULD be like links of a chain, but honestly when I saw what was left of the other team’s words I decided to chance the last couple of rounds as strong single word rounds.

So what was Medicus?

Rome and Influenza

GazChap · **Posted:** Mon Nov 06, 2017 15:05

But DavPaz said 3 for Medicus.

That was to cover paste from the previous round

GazChap · **Posted:** Mon Nov 06, 2017 15:39

Now I'm proper confused - didn't your team get "paste" on Calamari?

It's proper risky actually adding in extra guesses on to the clues, as you risk people thinking that there are three words related to the clue rather than two + the extra guess. That's why you get an additional guess after successfully guessing the number in the clue, to catch stragglers

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

We didn't think that because we're smrat.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

And we lost! Next!

You want to be team captain next then?

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32619

Do people want another round? Same teams, different captains? I'm happy to do the grids.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25594

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Fucking right

Yup, I'm up for it, happy to be el Capitan too.

Those who seek power are least likely to be suited to it.

What can i say, i really like the challenge of linking words together with other words, even if i'm often dealt a shitty hand when it comes to words.

(as per the game I played on saturday night with Jem, her bro and his partner)
