Now vote for Octopus!

I think he'd make a shit president.

So I'm of the thinking we go for paste rather than try a second calamari guess. Thoughts?

TheVision · **Posted:** Fri Nov 03, 2017 17:22

Yeah, were we thinking paste?

TheVision · **Posted:** Fri Nov 03, 2017 17:23

Sorry, misread your paste as poster.. Go for paste I reckon.

Malc · **Posted:** Fri Nov 03, 2017 17:25

nothing else stands out for calamari, and paste makes sense for poster. So yeah. Go for it

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

guess:paste

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

Paste is BLUE

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

I can't link calamari to anything other than a vague sense of worm. Want to go for it?

TheVision · **Posted:** Fri Nov 03, 2017 17:52

I have a vague sense of King but that may just be because they both start with the same sounding letters. Is King Calamari a thing or have I just made that up?

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

It sounds like a final fantasy boss

Malc · **Posted:** Fri Nov 03, 2017 18:14

It does sounds familiar. Maybe a computer game baddie or something, really not sure

Yes, you did but the rest of your team didn't know and you posting the link is as good as them Googling it themselves. I move that we ban Lone wolves and take away their last turn... And not just because they're winning.

I can't believe no one knows anything about drilling. I'm not exactly an expert myself

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

I'm inclined to go with worm on the tenuous calamari-tentacles-worms link.

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

I think we lose our turn soon so guess:worm

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

Worm is neutral.

Turn over

myp · **Posted:** Sat Nov 04, 2017 15:14

Hmmm, superheroes have fingers…

myp · **Posted:** Sat Nov 04, 2017 15:14

guess: thumb

Haha, heck’s sake

correct

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

I would have also said thumb. I guess we pass now.

Assuming you pass:

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

But pass isn't official yet

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

No pressure then.

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

pass

myp · **Posted:** Sat Nov 04, 2017 16:21

Win or bust, blue team!

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

All or nothing

Medicus - 3

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

Okay, so influenza and Rome.

Now the other one presumably is a leftover from Calamari?

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

I'm willing to go with King as the third on the basis I don't have a better guess.

TheVision · **Posted:** Sat Nov 04, 2017 17:18

We should start with influenza I reckon, then Rome and let's see where we are after that.

If it was meant to be worm and octopus, then clearly the correct clue would've been "Mammal"

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

guess:influenza

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

So team. King for the win? Other suggestions?

TheVision · **Posted:** Sun Nov 05, 2017 1:44

What happens if it's wrong?

Then we win

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

Only if they have an incorrect guess and our next turn is correct.

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

We have to guess by this evening or we forfeit our turn, so speak up team

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

Wait, you do? Pretty sure the rules have a "weekends don't count" clause for the forfeit. And I'm not too concerned about that anyway.

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

24hr timeout was all I saw, but I didn't exactly examine them.

Quote:

1. 24 hours without pointing or giving a clue opens up the opposing team to forcing a pass. If the last clue was given/guessed >23:59 hours ago and the opposing team posts something pointing this out then the offending team effectively passes. The hours between 8pm Friday - 8am Monday do not count against the 24 hours.

Not that I'd be picky about enforcement, even without that clause. That's a set of rules I cut & pasted from BoardGameGeek.

Yeah take your time, talk it through. Wouldn't want to make the wrong guess by being rash.
