Yeah I think so, feelers out for fighter, slug and disease, but most likely club and missile.

Shall we go for club?

You, Malc, and I seem to agree, so yes!

*guess:club*

That only leaves us with one to get, yes? If we pass now, then they'd have to pull a threefer to win this round. Happy passing, folks? We've got nothing to guess at

KovacsC · **Posted:** Thu Dec 17, 2015 14:53

Pass works for me

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Thu Dec 17, 2015 14:56

Yeah, only 1 to go, as per updaterated grid on first page.

Team-mates, note that this is wrong, we have a leftover clue from Holst.

I think 'forest' and 'straw.'

For Holst, I now think 'europe.'

What say you, team-mates?

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11843

Forest and ... straw? I thought about, flora and fauna, but there are too many fauna, ie animals left, and also flora as margarine, but I can't see anything for either of those.

Also holst, night fits best for me of what is left, but Europe could be a desperate play on Europa.

Is there another famous gustav associate d with any of the other words?

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11843

Actually, I reckon it is 'drop'. As holst sounds like a German saying hold, which is the opposite of drop.

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

Yep, forest is fine.

Straw... Hmm, well I guess it is dried plant life. I can't see anything better.

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

That's a quorum.

*guess: forest*

We have one clue for fauna and one for Gustsv Holst.

I see nothing for fauna better than straw. For Holst I still think Europe, but there's also night. Plus if you think hard enough you start to see links everywhere eg Holst died of complications from a disease and probably once saw a slug and maybe he once dropped from a roof in a fight over a microscope I think i saw that on Qi.

Other blue team members need to talk now.

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11843

I don't really think out is drop. Add I said Europe or night for me. I think of the two, holst is best known for the planet suite so night fits better. Each planet had a name and a thing, eg mars, bringer of war.Jupiter, jolity.. do any of the others for?

myp · **Posted:** Thu Dec 17, 2015 23:29

Let's do it!!!

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

So what? Straw or night? Straw feels stronger to me.

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

Straw first, for me. I see nothing else for flora.

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

*guess:straw*

Curiosity · **Posted:** Fri Dec 18, 2015 9:17

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

I think night is perhaps stronger than Europe, though beither are pbbiois.

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

Holst composed something called A Song Of The Night. I'm coming around to night.

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

Which you definitely didn't need to Google, of course

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

Hahahaha! D'oh! Maybe the Doc just is a repository of endless knowledge.

Well, more for the idea of astronomy being mostly a night time pursuit:

*guess:night*

Three of the team said it! Then they decided on night! Gah!

My tactic was that I knew they could get theirs in 4 turns pretty easily, so I needed to get a triple at some point. The words were pretty tricky for that, but I gambled that Gustav Holst would get me three. I knew there was an outside chance that the team would obsess on astronomy, so they might go for satellite, but I knew we would have two shots, so was pretty confident, especially since if they thought (incorrectly) that the clue I had stated was Planets, knowing that Europa is a moon of Jupiter would be a tenuous but decent guess.

I never even considered 'night' as a possibility. I still can't really understand it! Heh.

Oh well, congrats to the other team, and Myp can start playing again now it isn't helping me.

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

What was the rest of the relevance of europe - Gustav sounds a bit 'european'?

GazChap · **Posted:** Fri Dec 18, 2015 11:37

WOO YAY.

Surprisingly hard to think of decent clues - I'm so glad that [disease] was left on it's own, I was really worrying about finding a clue for that and another word that wouldn't lead you to [bug] (the assassin)

If Curio's team hadn't buggered up and guessed [satellite], my next clue was going to be Moonraker and hope that you would get [satellite] and [missile] from it (the latter because although in the film Moonraker was a space shuttle, in the book it was a missile.)

After that I hadn't really thought about how to get you guys on to [club] and [disease] in one go.

Be Excellent To Each Other
