Point to engine
Point to bridge
Point to star

All red.

[Lewwyn]

Okay two iron words left.
All possibilities
COOK, SPINE, PISTOL, BOOT

I favor cook and spine and possibly pistol. I think we eliminate boot for now.

[Mardoc]

So that puts us here:

SMUGGLER	CELL	BOX	ROBIN	HONEY
PIANO	BRIDGE	RAY	SCHOOL	GAS
PISTOL	GHOST	HOSPITAL	STAR	PARACHUTE
IVORY	TRUNK	RULER	SPINE	FAIR
ENGINE	PILOT	AMBULANCE	COOK	BOOT

With probably two more Iron words, assuming Star was Coldplay.

I think I would go for PISTOL next since three of the four of us had that listed as a possible guess last round for Iron. I'd be ok with Spine after that. Still don't really like Cook because none of us proposed it last time. That said, Cast Iron cookware is another connection so I'm wavering on that one.

Edit: can agree to eliminate boot, anyway.

[Hesmyrr]

I do not like PISTOL nor BOOT. I agree with SPINE, and will make argument for COOK soon.

We can point at Spine first while we discuss the final word?

[Lewwyn]

I am okay with pistol next.

Looking back at last discussion we were pretty adamantly against spine so it's possible sunrise didn't want to clue that again... EDIT I mean I was...

[Lewwyn]

Spine first? I'm okay with that too.

[Hesmyrr]

This was what we proposed at the last round (current round does not count because it was after Iron 4)

Mardoc: SPINE, ENGINE, BRIDGE, CELL, PIANO
Molach: PISTOL
Lewwyn: RULER, BRIDGE, CELL, ENGINE
Hesmyrr: RULER, SPINE, BOOT

You can actually see three of the four of us did not have Pistol listed as a possible guess last round. In fact, I do not see anyone discuss or even mention PISTOL last round other than Molach, so it's value as previous suggestion is dubious at least as much as BOOT; PISTOL actually came to active discussion this round in order to find all four Iron words responsible. To be fair, upon review I see SPINE is also risky preposition as well, but at least it feels more certain than PISTOL?

[Mardoc]

Heh - I saw both you and Lewwyn mention the word, but I was skimming too fast to realize that you were saying you didn't like it and Lewwyn had it fifth out of five.

I'm still ok with SPINE, then.

[Hesmyrr]

Regarding COOK, we know already from Round 1 that sometimes Spymaster is forced to repeat the clue and hope his teammates figure something out. I assume with blue team possibly winning in one round, sunrise did not have time to create additional group to account for COOK.

Secondly, perhaps Sunrise is trying to clue for all of previous words only, but it's also possible he believed that - having participated in round one where above assumption turned out to be false - we would consider this to be similar situation and try to find possible outlier like SHARK instead of immediately following our previous thought processes again. The argument I want to make here is that motivation behind Sunrise's repeated Iron clue is kind of WIFOM... and I'd rather make guess based on possible connections. If we assume COOK to be false, it means that ALL the words we previously discussed happen to be Red. I wrote about how unlikely this happened in Round 1, and same point applies here.

I just think COOK is more solidly connected to either SPINE or PISTOL due to Iron Chef connection and possible Iron Cooker connection.

[Hesmyrr]

I guess SPINE is good compromise fourth word for now, though I'm not sure if Molach prefers SPINE or PISTOL. If Molach prefers PISTOL it'd be even split. I actually think COOK for fourth word but I consider all of them equally dangerous at this point (other than obviously wrong BOOT ) and wouldn't mind the order.
