Sorry, still no. Please try again.

Occasionally tea.

Correctly guess me.

Overthinking it. What do most people put in their coffee?

 

[GaryA]

sugar

(I put honey in my coffee - "never" put sugar in it.)

And what else?

 

[GaryA]

cream? milk?

 

[Cameron143]

cream? milk?

Cream is correct.

 

[GaryA]

I think you steered us away from 'cream' when you did not tell @Mem that her answer of 'whipped cream' was "close"...

 

[GaryA]

I know they are not the same thing; still...

Therefore - let @Mem take the next turn.

I hadn't considered that possibility, but whipped cream is different from cream and is always solid. And I've never heard of someone being called the whipped cream of the crop.

It is not about the "thing" so much as it is the "word" - the password. When someone makes a guess that includes the password - even if the guess is not the same "thing" as the password (only, by itself) represents - it still becomes significant for the game play. In the midst of all of the ideas used to convey and guess the password - it is the password - a word - that the game is about. Technically, the game is actually about guessing the password - not the "thing" it may represent. And, if the password is 'cream' and someone uses it in a guess - it becomes significant for the game play - because, they did in fact guess the password.

My apologies to all involved.

You do not need to defend the idea that the two are different - that has been fully established. And, I am pretty sure no one will/would disagree. But, from the game perspective, none of this was meaningful at the time that @Mem posted her 'whipped cream' guess - except in your own mind - as your own private perspective.

 

[GaryA]

My apologies to all involved.

No real harm brother - it is just a - "heads up" - "food for thought" - perspective that I think is worth considering. I'm not trying to beat you up with it - just wanted to prompt you to think about it...

All is good - and, when @Mem gets back to the game, she can get this thing going again...

 

[GaryA]

BTW - I think you do quite well at coming up with the right kind of words that balance "keep it simple" with having to expend a least a little effort to figure it out...
