I thought we were all largely on the same page, team. I wasn't sure how to get the board clued well at all at first: there were lots of overlap between blue and red words. But once I found University as a clue then I felt we had a good shot.
Planetary vs planet was me over thinking that moon wasn't really a planet. Of course it isn't but what else would be closer than moon? I completely missed planetary strike as a combination, which was a shame. It would have been a lot smoother if i had put planetary: 3 as my second clue.
I actually did consider sting but didn't think it would draw you guys to Strike as a word. I was trying to think of what word would specifically tie being hit by a scorpion. Poisoned seemed like it might run into Shadow and RPG games tying those together. I also know there is a poisonous mole, and wanted to steer away from that. I think Azoth posted exactly what I had thought. I didn't consider mouth as having a connection, and missed that Envenomed could be seen as an adjective. I was trying to add some action to the word envenom to tie in strike. Envenoms would have been better, perhaps.
Of course, T-hawk was a fantastic teammate with how he set me up into that Envenomed clue by laying out that he was going to point to Moon + Dwarf if I did an unlimited clue. That was very helpful!
Good round in all, and now we get to play a 3rd round!
