I'm having trouble making out what's going on in Knightmare's avatar but I am assuming a Knightmare wears a helmet and ethereal is acceptable!

"Avatar" clearly means the film "The Little Mermaid" as its starring character is depicted in the game moderator's avatar. I think Annadog40 would probably like that film, because she's a Frozen enthusiast. Probably a little less than Frozen, because all the H20 is in liquid form instead.

Hectic please read the rules before you start playing it will help you with ruling things out and making decisions.
In post 42, Hectic wrote:What if Ariel meant avatar the last airbender though. Bet you guys didn't think of that.
My first instinct would be to guess lower (better).
9,450 isn't one of the available ratings, so the cluegiver cannot have meant to indicate Avatar the Last Airbender0 always represents the left end of the spectrum and the left word on the card. 100 always represents the right end of the spectrum and the right word on the card.

There are lots of people that hate Avatar. There's lots of things you can hate:
1.) Poor character development, I don't think it's really due to poor filmmaking as much as the long plot and worldbuilding consuming finite resources
2.) Entire movie is delivering an extremely on-the-nose metaphor that's kind of so on-the-nose that it's tacky. I like sure hope the grumpy guy who gave me a C- on a script for having my character watch a snail keel over and die on the sidewalk in between scenes did not buy a second ticket for a second showing of the movie where damage to some magic tree that is the lifeforce of the planet is a metaphor for wealthy nations generally doing environmentally costly things to our planet, if he takes a consistent attitude about subtlety
3.) Much of the movie's metaphor is a rather extreme form of imperialism/colonialism that is going to be less relatable to a US/UK audience due to not happening in that intensity lately and lol we're the perps when it is. But part of the movie being a massive financial success similar to transformers is that that's not the only audience, and films with culturally agnostic content like CGI characters and good action scenes do great worldwide from the getgo. I bet it resonated better in other places where that kind of thing has happened more recently.
4.) Individually some people really have a problem with nonhuman anthropomorphic characters in their films, especially when they need to be empathy vessels.
I also want to go lower, it's just kind of safer, but it risks a whiff. The only thing I know about annadog is she had a frozen avatar for a while, and Frozen has lifelike characters, a novel plot that busts clichés, and equally good storytelling, Avatar is a story that maybe shouldn't be told in the first place that was told very well. So I feel like it's too diagonal of a comparison to try to figure something out.

true story, I saw the alien and the human making googoo eyes at eachother, then fell asleep for a nap in the movie theater for like ten minutes, and when I woke up they were holding hands with eachother and one of them said "We are mated before Aewa". And I thought, well, that escalated quickly.

For a default generic person I'd agree but annadog seems whimisical enough to just put some movie that exactly reflects its location in her heart
that might be a totally inaccurate soulread
if it's supposed to be an objective factor I would go lower because I believe its box office numbers are even better than its critical reception
btw I want to 1v1 Hectic

An Olympic swimming pool is three meters deep. The Marianas trench is 11,034 metres deep. So an Olympic swimming pool is 0.027% as deep as the Marianas trench. 0.027% of 100 rounds to zero. We should lock in zero.

Really regardless of whether the answer is 5 or 100 or 11,034 or -9,450 I will just never forgive her for not giving us the clue "bucket".

Saucer, bowl, bathtub, pool, lake, ocean.
If those are the types of things you think of as possibly being deep, pool is kind of at or past the midpoint. But an Olympic pool is sometimes shallowed than a luxury hotel's pool. So I'm thinking about 50.
If saucers don't come to mind, then pool is exactly the midpoint
but if saucers don't come to your mind
forget about this silly game
we need to get you a cat
which you will treat to unhealthy milk when it's treat time
you don't have time to be a psychic anymore there's a litterbox to clean
cats are so much the love the affection
you need one

I like 40.
I think whether pots and pans were considered or not is worth a jump of like 25-30 points so compromising numerically against Hectic is probably worse than picking one of the two paradigms.

I kind of feel like these kind of games (password, codenames) would be funner with 1 cluegiver, 1 guesser, and up to N (~6 or maybe infinity would be fine) "high score"siding shitposters. It would remove needing to build consensus and do compromising. It would not be very competitive if one side happens to get extra help or whatever but it's casual mishmash.
That's just, like, my opinion tho
