Oh boy. Okay, five words to go. We're missing one Bubbles word, one Airlift word, and then we've presumably got three solely for Sherwood (unless we previously hit blue on a word Dave didn't expect, but we're probably screwed if that's the case anyway).
I think Pan and Himalayas should be our Bubbles and Airlift words, respectively, since those were what were leaning toward as secondary options.
For Sherwood itself, I'm at a loss. I don't see any words here relevant to forests or Robin Hood. The best I can come up with, weak connections all, are Bank (Robin Hood stole), Comic (Mel Brooks made a Robin Hood comedy), and Watch (you could watch it). Maybe Yard, in that the great outdoors are invoked.
Edit: also, Robin Hood arguably led a Cell of terrorists, lol
Oof, I'm at a bit of a loss here. We need... 3 words for Sherwood, plus one each for Bubbles and Airlift?
Sherwood: lots of possible weak connections, unfortunately
- Robin Hood's lieutenant Little John fights with a quarterSTAFF
- The Merry Men keep a rotating night WATCH
- Robin Hood spends some time locked up in a CELL
- There was a COMIC rendition of the story, Robin Hood: Men in Tights
I think I like HIMALAYAS most for Airlift and BANK and PAN both seem reasonable for Bubbles.
No worries! Red would have picked up SOLDIER as part of thier Gun clue if we hadn't guessed it, so no harm done.
We have 1 Bubbles word, 1 Airlift word and at least 3 Sherwood words.
For Bubbles, I prefer PAN to BANK. BANK is clever and neat, but the connection is less direct, and could easily have been overlooked.
For Airlift, HIMALAYAS seems to be the only word left. I don't know of any famous Greek airlifts.
For Sherwood, there are a number of possibilities, though I am not very familiar with Robin Hood lore:
YARD - Weak connection to the outdoors. Robin Hood's antagonist was the Sheriff of Nottingham, not "Scotland Yard" (which probably didn't exist at the time)
STAFF - Did any of the merry men carry/wield a staff?
BANK - They may not have robbed banks, but the whole idea was to steal from the rich to give to the poor.
CELL - Were any of them ever imprisoned? I suppose the band of merry men could also be called a 'cell'.
COMIC - Is there a Robin Hood comic series? Did one of the merry men provide comic relief?
After reading spoilers, I like CELL/BANK/COMIC for Sherwood.
I dont see a better answer than Microscope. I assume Fibers was used instead of something like Germs so that we stayed away from Cell..

In this game that's going to help us because he's going to go to the negotiating table with twitchy eyes and slightly too wide a grin and terrify the neighbors into favorable border agreements, one-sided tech deals and staggered NAPs."
