Okay, so influenza and Rome.

Now the other one presumably is a leftover from Calamari?

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

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"

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.

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.

That was good fun, and not too taxing.

I think DavPaz should explain his clues now :D 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 :)

Post subject:  Re: Codenames game 1 round 1 (Nov 2017 edition)

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

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

No, Rome was your only remaining word.

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

I did warn you.

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.
