Welcome to Game 1!

Here are our players in the playing order:

Sock
Dyl
Rodney
Mittens
Jen
Merc
Zersch


Here's how this will work. In a bit, I'll PM every player (except for Sock) with the secret word they're trying to help Sock guess. You guys will have 24 hours to send me your (just) one word hint to help him out. I'll compile the clues as soon as I have them all and delete any duplicates as necessary before posting the remainders in the thread. Sock will then have 24 hours to either guess the word or pass, both options being done here in the thread. Please bold your choice when you do so.

Regardless of the results, Dylan would then be the next player and everyone else will receive the secret word, and so on and so forth. We're going to play until each player has had 2 turns, and scoring will work as follows:

Guess correctly: +1 point
Pass: 0 points
Guess incorrectly: -1 point

Other stuff:

- If you're guessing, you are highly encouraged to post your thought process when trying to figure out your guess (or whether you'll guess)

- Anyone is welcome to comment in any of the threads, regardless of whether you're playing. I just ask that you please don't post in the period between the clues being revealed and the guesser making their decision.

- DO NOT USE YOUR FELESTRATIONS PM THREAD FOR THIS GAME. I'll be making a Just One thread for you, please keep all your clues and shit in there.

- Game 1 has seven players, while the others only have six. As such, the first and second players of Games 2 and 3 will have three times being the guesser as opposed to just two. This game is cooperative, so in theory the other games don't matter, but if you're trying to have the best score of all the games, that will balance out the opportunity for points.

-Clues have to be a word, or at least recognizable as a word. Proper names are fine (as long as it's just one proper name). If I don't think your clue should be allowed, I'll let you know and ask you to send something else.

-Guessers are not allowed to research their clues to try and find the answers.

Okay, all the words have been sent out. Clue-givers, you have until 2 PM Eastern tomorrow to PM me your clue. If I get them all in earlier, I'll post them earlier.

Yaaaaaaa lets go

Two very different obvious pairs of words

Is it a bendy plastic haystack scarecrow? Maybe, but I as a rule reader, know it is only one word.

Now, as a man who loves bendy straws can think of no better answer. but I wonder does straw equal hay and does haystack reveal more

Yes of course, If I was trying to drink an entire haystack....I'd use a bendy plastic straw.

My thought in all of this is that I formulate my guess. My guess will be 1 of 3 choices.

1) Umbrella-flavored-gespacho [THE DASHES MAKE IT ONE WORD]
2) Lobstrominous
3) Straw

I guess what I'm trying to say is that my final guess is "Straw"
