Wow lotta spoilers to read through. Prior to doing so:
I like Bark, Fall, and Paper, probably in that order. Could also makes cases for Drop, Deck, and maybe Death .

Problem is, you probably wouldn't pick either Fall or Drop with "Wood (X)", would you? So Dave doesn't necessary mean for us to select both, just one of.

I fine with guessing paper, drop, or deck, or just passing and keeping them in mind for future guesses.
I tend to prefer paper/deck to drop personally, just because grammatically I don't think most people would refer to trees dropping when chopped, they would say the tree fell. But I can see a case for any of the three.

Kinda hard to separate them between themselves anyway. And saying WOOD instead of lumberjack would bring us to more wood-based guesses such as DECK, or PAPER. Seems like a clear steering away from those from my point of view.

The tree might have fell, but a guy might say YEAH IMMA DROP THAT TREE. Kinda like when one might say "dont make me drop you" when getting ready for a fist fight..
Im still in favor of DROP.. but if the rest of the team wants to go after one of the many paper words, i wont object

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."

Okay, so I guess it`s down to DROP vs. PAPER then. We`re evenly split here with me and Superdeath preferring DROP and Bob and GES preferring PAPER.
Should we just flip a coin? I prefer making a guess over passing at this stage.
