The forum version of the game is a strange beast, but it continues to roll on. Looks like I've got six signups so far, so more are welcome for starting up a new game.
I know King ended up being one of our people, but I was really unhappy about this comment at the time it was made, because I thought King was one of the intended targets for this clue. "Corn is King" is a phrase, and also "King Corn" is an award-winning documentary.
Always interesting to hear from spymasters about their intent with various clues - I agree that I'd like to hear what was intended with Chair = Unlimited, whether Diamond Shark was intended, what was up with that "Yarbro" clue, etc.

I have never heard of either of those things tbh, and had to draw the picture to convey the joke I was trying to push for.
Had this been in person, I would have conveyed this through the sound of King Corn or chest beating.
@Professor Phobos what were you intending with your "Chair: Unlimited" clue?
So, my understanding of "Unlimited" was that it meant at least one was from before, not only one was a new clue. Chair was meant to get you guys Back and Square, and Unlimited was supposed to get you Diamond as had already been mentioned. I actually contemplated Shark 4 hoping someone would spot the Battletech reference, but I underestimated the nerdery hereabouts.
Anyway, Chair and Square. Square backed chairs, four chair legs makes a square shape, etc. Of course Fan Chairs are apparently a thing and fan was the assassin, so it probably wasn't my best clue.

Nah, Unlimited is just "Guess until you guess wrong". I interpreted it as 1 because a 2 or 3 clue still allows 3 guesses for our 3 remaining agents. I didn't see that allowing 3 clues and communicating "Guess until you guess wrong" weren't mutually exclusive.
Once my team got there, and realized the author was correct .. I'm surprised they didn't ctrl-find search all of the words to see if they were in a book title.
In addition to spider they would have found king, which was already taken, and glass which I was going for.
Basically because Blue Team kept going for 3, I felt pressured to also go for 3.
Also I guess it was a stretch to connect fuzzy dice with rearview mirror, but the cake song immediately came to mind for me - in the land of race car ya-yas. Had red team guessed glass previously, leaving two words left I would have said Geth - 2 for watch and dice, haha.
That was my first time ever as spymaster, so lessons learned!

The reason I choose Ambulance is that here in Denmark, and I think most European countries Ambulances are smaller than in the US and do have rearview mirror.
Yeah, about Yarbo, I just looked at her bibliography and somehow missed the Glass title the first time.

please add me to your list of future spy agents thanks kiss kiss
Yeah, I both dread and look forward to my first chance to be the spymaster.
Not going to sign up again for the next few games. Have a bit too much going on, and don't want to keep holding up the game because I forget to look in on the thread.

Yeah, it was very rough us getting two 3 clues out in our first two turns. I thought you played exceptionally well given that.

fossil fuels and extinct. First two that come to my mind at least.
And I'm the only one in a US Time zone, yay.
I'd go Mammoth first and then Oil.

I feel it would be the best course of action to ensure our success in this game on the internet
Blue has two guesses remaining.
