Word Match V: Friendship is Necromancy Magic

[Kanave]

I also absolutely shoulda paired with you on mafia but obv we woulda needed all 3

[katze]

i thought that was a no brainer ngl

every time i was confident in a guess i got words id never even thought of thrown at me

[Kanave]

I thought with bloons, that we needed a sillier game, mafia is too standard

[Chloe]

katze what the fuck

[katze]

i thought that was our best chance of matching and it was funny

Ash’s Commentary on Round 3

1st Place

Conversation with Arctic in his channel that basically encapsulates all my thoughts:

@Ash

I am cursed to overlook at least one easy match per round.

@Arctic

I did warn you!

@Arctic

it’s better to be on the safe side and re-rand as soon as you think of anything

which is made easier if you have multiple hosts to go through it

@Ash

We were definitely more aggressive this round, but I think neither Marluna nor I made the jump from LITERACY to books. As such, we thought this was a harder trio than it actually was.

Also, this.

@Marluna

Bible wasn’t the first thing I was thinking seeing this trio.
(the fire of Alexandrian library was)

That’s a way cooler first thought than anything I was considering.

2nd Place

FULL was carrying zero weight in that initial rand. Will keep that in mind going forward.
Other than that, good performance from all three players.

3rd Place

Count on Lilith to immediately submit (NSFW) JOHNNY SINS and, when that was inevitably vetoed, to submit REDACTED out of spite.

Anyways, THERMAL PASTE was a great guess that was never going to be a match, we got our first Sadism, and I had to Google the difference between “welding” and “soldering” (welding literally melts and merges them while soldering melts a different metal and uses that to hold the two pieces together).

4th Place

I’d make a Last Stand joke with CONSIGLIERE, but it’s almost midnight for me, and I am lazy and behind on this.
Other interesting things is that I had to veto the first guess for all three players on Round 9 because two of them were too close to STEAL and the third was May getting dangerously close to Everything Bagel-ing this site.

5th Place (Eliminated)

We went from casual stuff to pretty gnarly “Legal Ways to Die” to “I Want Dinner”.
Very funny progression, though I’m slightly sad that they didn’t end up matching.

[Ash]

Will roll words in a bit and send them out soon.

i’m surprised this isnt common knowledge

i only weld once every few days and i know that

Ok, so quick update:
Words have been rolled, but I’m going to sleep, so I’ll send them out in the morning. Round will end at noon EST on the 28th.

Big important thing, though, is that I am going to be a lot busier from the 28th to the 30th (and potentially longer than that) because I’m moving into my dorm during that time and starting class after Labor Day. Was hoping this would wrap up before then, but que sera sera.

I will likely end up looking for another co-GM after the second and final revival period. Marluna’s been an amazing co-GM, and I don’t want her to have to deal with everything on her own.

This post isn’t meant to be a doomerpost or an open GM search; I just wanted to keep you all in the loop in case I drop off the face of the Earth at times.

Good luck to the remaining teams! I’ll see ya’ll in the morning.

[Litten]

Soldering is when I want to connect two resistors and welding is when I want to destroy two resistors

[Marluna]

sending words out now. (as far as know it’s noon EST right now)

[Marluna]

All words have been sent out, good luck for each team.
