Be Excellent To Each Other

Ok. Simplified Rules:
- Clue must be about the meaning of the words. (Not letters in it or position on grid, for example, however letters and numbers as clues are valid if they refer to the meaning)
- The number after the clue can't be used as part of the clue
- You can't use any form of a word available on the table.
- Compound words are allowed, so long as they're valid words
- Names can be used, so long as they're existing names.
- Acronyms : allowed
- Rhyming clues - Allowed
- If you doubt a clue you want to use is valid, send a message to the opposing team captain (and me, although I won't be answering unless there's any disagreement - but I do need to know if an accord has been reached). Any answer accepted here cannot be later deemed invalid. If a clue protested and found to be invalid, your turn ends immediately, the other team captain may reveal a word if they choose and then commence their go.

Grid of joyous words:



Red to go first. Once I've sent the wordlist to the team captains.

I seem to be in an ideal position to Fuck GazChap Up.

Oh dear

Yeah, as internet was down, I did the draw using dice.You were the third last person to be drawn. He had so many chances to not get fucked up, but the dice were determined.

Do note the small change w.r.t. rhyming clues.

Come on Gaz!

Slug, Horse & unicorn??


I would guess horse first.

It won't be horse and unicorn, surely? You'd use the clue "equine" or something.

I think it's "piano".

stop trying to fuck gaz up.. lets win first

Slug and horse, horse first.

If anyone else from our team agrees, just pull the trigger. 3 is plenty.

Seal and horse, surely?

guess:horse

seal and horse

Although fighter could be a long shot.

Seal then I missed that one

Seal is red

Excellent. Well those are 2 of the 5 animals on the board Gaz only said to guess 2, so do we pass there?

I agree with my team

Yes. I think.

C'mon Curio, give us a :3!

Now now, they haven't officially passed yet.

I bet they will though.

Pussies.

I assume it's one of the non-captains that officially passes rather than me waiting for a majority vote?

Yeah. You can't pass. (else you could pass if they staryed going wrong)

Just needs someone to pass, no majority needed. (in bold or in * charactets)

*pass*

I am prepared to be amazed.

Fucking hell, Curio, hurry up you slow bastard.

Give us a...Clurio!

selfie:2

Face and mine

Face would be the obvious one

Oh, yes, I agree with those both.

I think it is seal and file as they are the letters of selfie (plus 1).

I don't actually think this, face and mine makes sense, but it could be phoenix as the phoenix is reborn from the flames as a metaphor for self actualisation.

That's three.

So guess:face

Face + Mine get my vote too. I also vote to pass after that. I don't like the odds on blind guessing.

Correct.

I can't alter the grid at work, but seal is a lnown red word.

Don't tell them that, Dave! If they're daft enough to guess something we've already guessed, I'm fine with that!

By rule, items already discovered shouldn't be visible anymore, or have any bearing on the game once removed.

.

Are we going to go for 'mine', blue team? Anyone got any better ideas?

"Disease" fits

I once heard Paul Merton talking about some comedian he really admired -- it might have been Barry Humphreys -- who was in a Radio 4 quiz where you had to complete a famous saying with a twist ending. His saying was "Too many cooks..." to which he immediately snapped back "...on television."

Perfectly happy with 'mine'

I've never had any complaints either.

Blue

I say we pass now.

Come on guys, pass already.
