JET (Bystander) ROUND (Blue) BANK (Red) INDIA (Red) SINK (Assassin)
Given the waning signups and the way that the forum metagame has been developing over the past few iterations, I think it'll be a good idea to make the next game the last one for the time being. Perhaps I'll start up more games in the new year, but I think ten games is a good enough mark for now. There's still room for this next game for people to signup.

Google Codenames strikes again! Hmm, an Indian field mouse apparently.
So India and Tail are pretty safe bets.
Ummm, mice have Litters?
Mice have spines??
It's kinda Ivory coloured, maybe?
It's used in experiments by Scientists?
This is really the problem with 4-clues. Your team knows it has to be a bit of a reach for you to squeeze it in and so they will be going for more tenuous and risky connections. You're lucky they stopped at the 3 guesses
But as 2nd team, I still think there is waaay too much time in this internet form for a 1st team spymaster to connect the dots and just run 3-3-3 without opposition.
So you have to go for fours.
And Scientist/Tail/India were safe bets from that clue.
The only question there I thought was Spine or Litter?
And then, yes we were lucky that they stopped at 3, but moreso because then Blue still had Litter on the board.

Yet nobody has managed to do a 3-3-3 in 9 games
Game 7 went 3-3-Diamond/Square/Back remaining. It only didn't go 3-3-3 because I stuffed up the last clue.

Not sure if removing myself from the player pool wouldn't resolve some issues.
I could even take over hosting if Blarney wants

Moscow, Pole (cause seasons, man), Field of snow, are all some kind of logic.
I personally am liking Card third though, as in greeting cards, typically sent out this time of year.
Blue operatives may make up to three more guesses.
SNOWMAN is a Blue Agent!
Blue operatives may make up to two more guesses.
@LostNinja pick a word, if you don't in time then I will though!

INTENTIONALLY COLORLESS! That said I'll get on it if @Gizzy doesn't show up in the next 20 minutes or so
