Well I don't make jam and I know. What am I, the outlier?

Thay's one word. Probably not the one most people would choose.

More often than not

guess: pass

Lemons aren't usually used for pectin anyway, though they could be.

Anyway, I believe Myp gets to choose a freebie.

Another clue or do I just get to take away one of our words?

Think you've forgotten to give them their foreign answers there, doc

Fucking Gaywood. Coming over here, stealing my foreigns.

Right then, clue us up, boss!

And keep it legal

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Mon Dec 14, 2015 12:33

And if you give us 0, we can keep guessing forevers.

"0" means "guess forever and avoid my clue." "Unlimited" means "guess forever but try to hit my clue."

I guess you'd say 0 if you came up with a clue that perfectly matched the one or two remaining enemy words and the assassin, I can't think why you'd ever use unlimited.

"0" means "guess forever and avoid my clue." "Unlimited" means "guess forever but try to hit my clue."

Naturally, giving a clue that avoids red and assassin is good.
Whatever, we need a miracle to catch up, and giving a clue for two items ain't going to cut it.

Okay. Well Pie from that, and Bond and Atlantis from the previous. Reckon there must be another one in there for crust.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Dec 14, 2015 14:21

What's the difference between crust:0 and crust:unlimited?

I've attached the official game rules, which has an FAQ about clue names but I think we should be a bit more liberal for more lulz.

I am literally never running this game again. I see now it was a terrible mistake.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Dec 14, 2015 14:26

I don't understand how it's been used according to the rules:

Quote:

* The leader is allowed to post a 0 as the number, which means "this is a clue about which word not to pick." If the leader uses 0 in a clue, the team can have unlimited guesses.
* Similarly, the leader can choose "unlimited" as the number. Again, this allows unlimited guesses, but is (obviously) less useful as a clue.

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Dec 14, 2015 14:28

I didn't want to say "5" because I figured I'd have somehow given Doc permission to come round my house and fuck my wife.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49237

Actually the wording of the unlimited thing suggests that if the team leader says ":2" then the players can't carry on guessing once they've guessed twice.

Anyway, come up with answers, blue team!

Bond, Atlantis
Pie

Why would you say 2 if you're saying unlimited?

myp · **Posted:** Mon Dec 14, 2015 14:48

Yeah, this is why I'm confused.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49237

I meant on the previous goes when people have said 2

Malc · **Posted:** Mon Dec 14, 2015 15:18

ketchup (for crust)?

I'd say do Pie first

GazChap · **Posted:** Mon Dec 14, 2015 16:14

Do Bond first.

How could you disagree with pie crust?

Except on a Fray Bentos.

I fucking love Fray Bentos steak and kidney pies

guess:pie

I'd really like Atlantis for the other spy who loved me one, because y'know, there was an undersea city called Atlantis - but I'd like feedback on that.

We need another answer for crust. That isn't ketchup.

GazChap · **Posted:** Mon Dec 14, 2015 16:59

Tenuous perhaps, but what about "contract"? You'd be earning your crust if you had a contract.

(although it'd be my dumb fucking luck if the assassin is a "contract" killer)

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49237

Ooh, now a ham quite often has a crust.

Malc · **Posted:** Mon Dec 14, 2015 19:21

You need time for a crust to form?

Now I want a fray bentos pie. But I can't stand the self loathing and regret that would lead to.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Mon Dec 14, 2015 19:43

I had one frey bentos pie. It was one of the worst things I've ever let near my mouth.

I agree with Craster.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Mon Dec 14, 2015 19:51

Cap for Crust?

Seems tenuous, but nothing else seems any less so.

As t'other. all I can remember is underground city thing, Jaws, Kissing in escape pod. Assuming I'm thinking of the right film, which I think I am.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49237

Right, I'm going for *guess:Atlantis*
