Regular Run of the Mill NO LIST Codenames!
Post if you want in, ideally 8 people but the normal game - guess your stuff and ideally go fast bolding away a guess at
The - 2
Amazing after 5 years of non-stop multi-threading codenames here this is likely the first time “The” has been clued
There’s a decent bit here that could fit, but if Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson isn’t one of them, then I don’t know eb anymore.
Yea I agree rock + ring feels bad
And does seem weird cause rock/ring/brain seem best at first glance
Maybe there was something EB was worried we'd guess with a wrestling clue like chair
I'm kinda coming back to Rock and Ring since they're both movies and it fits with The, but still feels weird idk
Pinky and the Brain was fairly popular here back when eb and I were young and the earth was still cooling.
I’m fine with rock/brain if you guys are. I have another one that’s surely known by eb but might be too shadowfaxy, so I won’t mention it for now re: no list.
That was an x-post. There is not a single chance I am ever on board with bolding rock and ring for this clue.
what do we think of Robot?
The Robot is a dance/move and it kind of works for walking as well, which we can try for some of that
I'm good with The Rock
Rock is blue.
State was actually my other idea for The. It’s unlikely both state and robot are correct, otherwise we would’ve surely gotten an unlimited clue.
oh yea good point
which do you think we should guess?
and then I guess try something else entirely like Brush if it's right?
I have no clue. I guess robot, since it’s probably more well known than an obscure sketch comedy troupe from the 90s.
But we still need three for walking.
Robot could also be for walking, so if it’s correct, we have no real way of knowing which clue it was for. I don’t think eb would’ve double-clued it on turn two since DZ bolded it turn one. All we really know with reasonable confidence is that both robot and state can’t be ours. And I guess also that state isn’t the assassin.
Whichever of robot/state is ours (hopefully one is or we’re in trouble), it’s probably not being clued by The.
So we still need a the word. And three walking words (two if robot or state is good - my preference is probably robot).
is a walking chair a thing? no right? it rolls off the tongue well but sounds ridiculous
I'm kinda lost, I'll defer to you
but i'm fine trying 1 of robot/state and then something like Brush or looking for other words
Yeah, “walking chair” kept popping up in my head until I realized a) walking is basically an opposite clue for chair and b) my mind kept rhyming it with “rocking chair.”
Let’s just do robot since you and I are kinda okay with it and DZ is gonna pop in anytime time now and bold it anyway. :p
Robot
Robot is blue
That was an x-post. There is not a single chance I am ever on board with bolding rock and ring for this clue.
Maybe I overstated things here.
I'm kinda coming back to Rock and Ring since they're both movies and it fits with The, but still feels weird idk
Because I’ll be damned if ring isn’t way the best fit on the board.
It still concerns me that eb of all people wouldn’t clue rock/ring with a wrestling clue, but maybe we should give it a go.
The wrestling thing does seem weird to me though, also could have been movie or thriller perhaps
There's a few blockers but still seems it would be weird for that. I mean you could even clue diamond which would probably get ring and rock, The just seems like such an odd choice for that
Idk I'm confused lol, we still have a walking word or 2 perhaps right?
Yeah, still have two for walking.
I guess brush is my fav of the rest, but I don’t love it by any stretch.
