Got to be honest, after my disastrous first clue I had written off the game as lost. Certainly I made it far more difficult for us then necessary.

Counterfeit 4 was a result of misreading blue's board (thinking they could easily finish in 3, but I didn't consider assassin which was much worse for blue), having trouble finding a way to finish in 3 turns and not having enough time IRL for crosschecking. It was meant to be IVORY, LEMON, COVER, LITTER; a little surprised no-one mentioned LEMON as a general term for counterfeit goods but the others are quite understandable why you'd go for other words.

Obviously we were in a load of trouble after that, my biggest priority was stopping the team from guessing multiple blue words as +1's. The only way I know how to do that without wasting a turn is clue 9+ words as fast as possible then don't give unlimited. Spaceballs was by far the biggest clue I had in my pocket, fortunately you got most of the words but apparently a parody and a COVER are not the same thing. Whoops. At least ROCK wasn't that bad to hit as it would get in the way for Mountain.

Fortunately everything else went to plan, the team didn't guess BAR forcing superdeath to clue it with SINK (a difficult pair with HOTEL assassin) which ended up giving us the last turn needed to win, so all's well that ends well.

Good recovery WK. Spaceballs and Rind especially were great clues.

Nice. I’m willing to master the next?

If it's not too late, I'll play if someone wants to assign me to a team. I've never played this before, but it seems like fun.

I think El Grillo already called dibs on Round 2. Round 3 is yours though if we get to it.

Sure thing, while teams don't necessarily have to be balanced Azoth did also express interest earlier. Azoth, do you want to jump in for Round 2 with GES?

I can spymaster if there are no other volunteers.

Thanks for letting me take this round Lewwyn. I'll send pindicator a PM for round 2 with me and DaveV as spymasters.
