yeah I could see both. It seems way too coincidental that Atlanta/Atlantic is involved with both and not in the most obscure way (i.e. Atlanta Falcons and Canary Islands are well known). Nor that both are birds....
But always fear of overthinking it. The fact you brought up kiwi as a bird ,though and he went bird. We might want to go for both- as the other team can win next round in theory.

I feel like Falcon to Atlanta to Atlantis would have been quite the stretch last round. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would occur to me as a spymaster. The bird connection seems more obvious. Then again, I thought dinosaur was a shoe-in, soooooo
it's the combination of Atlanta Falcons + the fact that the Canary Islands are in the Atlantic. I.e. it's not an isolated use of the Atlan prefix. Two in a row. Just like we have two birds in a row.
It's possible Smuggler was a lucky guess and not at all what he had in mind. Also as we've seen all Spymasters minds work in different ways. In terms of what they think is obvious or not.
e: I'm hardly against Kiwi and think we should probably guess that first. I just think Atlantis is valid especially considering Atlanta Falcons are hardly obscure, nor are the Canary Islands.

I'd actually prefer to pass at this point. I think blue team has 3 agents remaining, if I count correctly? I'm more concerned about hitting the assassin than I am about the probability of a game-winning sequence.
Moscow was your third winter clue. Trust your instincts, Luke.
Chair and Swing were the intended Suicide clues, I'd wager, but obviously Line worked out fine.
Edit: To my team; ya'll are crazy. I said "no Google", why would you think you needed to google the clue "Falcon" plus every other unguessed codeword urgh. "Falcon Furniture", really? I almost had a stroke =P
For the record, Falcon:3 was meant to give you Fly and Smuggler ('cause Star Wars yo) and give you an educated guess at Kiwi ('cause bird.) If you guessed wrong, you were meant to hit one of the bystanders (dinosaur, perhaps.) The whole "Atlantis Falcons" and "Canary-Islands-in-the-Atlantis" connection you guys invented out of whole cloth was a legitimate surprise, though
I was very tempted to make my first clue "Alive:5", because strictly speaking all the "living" things on the board were either my agents or bystanders. None of the blue clues were living things, in a literal sense, and the assassin was not either.
Wasn't anything to do with doubting our instincts. We had bad assumptions since we "correctly" got two suicide clues, when in actuality we could have done Suicide 3 turns out.
We were entirely correct that the third winter clue was worse than a coin flip! One red one blue one bystander.

On the plus side, the crazy googling basically won the game- Rius. Mind fuckery with chair.
that said, I thought you guys had it in the bag with pole...

To be fair, my falcon --> raptor --> dinosaur connection didn't start with Google. I had a vague notion that "raptor" was a synonym for birds of prey, and just googled up the wiki article to verify that notion.

Then for falcon either field or Saturn - but leaning more field just due to prob lots of falcon sports teams.

KIWI is a Red Agent!
Red operatives may make up to one more guess.
We only have 1 left. I think.
e: probably should have said "aren't". (gets a bit weird with double negatives but there was a ellipsis)

and I totally didn't think of suicide line.
Ah well.
At least it was somewhat close.

You did pretty good. The Winter was a bit stretching but missing Suicide Line happens, I missed it too.

To be equally fair, I was entirely wrong. :-P
