Just to check our work here:
- Animal 3: BEAR, OCTOPUS, ????
- Destination 3: INDIA, ????, ????
- One freebie in NOTE
- Leaves one word for Wood: ????

The two Destination words are definitely LOCH NESS and STADIUM, Wood points to BARK, and the fact that it was Wood and not Woods or Woodland or Forest means our remaining Animal word is not likely to be BUCK, but rather CHICK.

[pjabrony]

CHICK for animal. LOCH NESS and STADIUM for Destination, BARK for wood.

[Azoth]

Point to LOCH NESS
Point to STADIUM
Point to BARK
Point to CHICK

All red. Red wins!

KID	CHICK	WASHER	BARK	NOTE
WATER	CAP	BEAT	OCTOPUS	DOG
CZECH	LUCK	VACUUM	WAVE	LEPRECHAUN
BUCK	BANK	LOCH NESS	INDIA	STADIUM
BEAR	CHARGE	SHOT	HOOD	CONDUCTOR

Wasn't sure if I could clear my board in 3 but was fairly certain that was all the time I had.

I clued gold first to give some time to clear out BUCK, after that I couldn't see any pitfalls. Obviously it didn't quite turn out that way.
I didn't see WATER as an option at all, and still don't know who goldwater is (google says a U.S presidential nominee in the 60's apparently? I don't even know who leading my own country at that time). The real question you should've be asking is not my age (under 30 for the record) but my country. And since my timezone is gmt +8 its very unlikely I would know who goldwater is, never mind referencing him in a word association game.
Oh well, BUCK then LUCK were the next +1's so we should still have time to reach LUCK. Bit unlucky for Bob that he hit DOG first but I can see that's not really a setback at all and still on track to win in 3.

I was super worried about Child because I had no way to pair KID or HOOD with anything else but you got there no problem.
And then the round was lost for sure with NOTE, all I can ask is why? I thought the plan for +1's was BUCK/LUCK, and had you gone down that path you would've got it either this turn or next. Changing your +1 guesses from what is written down makes it very difficult for me to plan ahead or help nudge you in the right direction.

I clued Electrical last to avoid STADIUM, that part at least went to plan. I completely blanked on WAVE though. I thought they were called electromagnetic waves and would've put it after the appliances at least, although I do see the appeal. Didn't really matter in the end since team still would've gone for BUCK.

Reasonably proud to have been close to making it, a few things differently and we could've got it. This time though we were all out of luck. (pun fully intended)

Good job team!


I knew I had no chance of wrapping things up in two turns, so I mentally divided the words up as such:

Animal 3 had to go first, as you all were guaranteed to hit Dog and possibly Buck, although Blue team fixating on the latter helped a lot.

Destination 3 was second; I saw Czech as a possibility, but thought it was fairly low; it's more a nationality than a place, right? Still, clue had to go second in case you all selected it anyway.

Pulp Unlimited (or 2) would have been the final word, had Blue not guessed Note; in any event, it was a gamble as to whether you all would lean toward Chick or Buck, but thankfully WK's original clue turned everyone off, so I could play with that in mind.

[Lewwyn]

Not bad, nice guys!

[DaveV]

Sorry about Goldwater, WarriorKnight. I didn't know how to check your time zone.

[WarriorKnight]

Sorry about Goldwater, WarriorKnight. I didn't know how to check your time zone.

Check someone's profile for their local time, and then you can works backwards from there to figure it out for anyone.

[Lewwyn]

I knew WK wasn't in america, but I based my water vote on the idea of panning for gold in water. 

[superdeath]

Yeah, i saw it more as panning for gold IN water, then whoever TF goldwater is. Maybe im just not ancient enough to know him?
