I have no knowledge of annadog so if you feel you have a good metaread on her than
pops' anecdote made me laugh. I've never been able to nap inside a movie theatre - it's just too loud - unless it's after hours and I've managed to sneak in for a free place to stay.

we go higher. I think lower is safer because of the overall reputation of being a box office hit and the relatively high (>6.5) ratings online.pops' anecdote made me laugh.

I've changed my mind after hearing pops' case actually. There's a lot of easy things that come to mind that are more shallow. The range of numbers you'd consider the sea is like 0 to 10, a lake maybe 10 to 20, and rivers 20 to 30. So an Olympic swimming pool would be 30 to 40.

I'd say a swimming pool would be about midway. An Olympic swimming pool has a larger depth than an average swimming pool so I think she's trying to make us go 55 to 65 (deeper side).
But you two overrule me if you're convinced it's on the other end.

It really depends if she considered stuff like bowls/pans/saucers.
If she was thinking entirely in terms of obvious things you associate with "deepness", like puddles/ponds/pools/rivers/lakes/seas then I'd say a lake is 70ish.
If she considered household stuff like the aforementioned and stuff like sinks/bathtubs, then I think lake would be more at 80ish.

My initial thought was to take it more literally. Ultra balls are completely round except for the button in the middle, so I was thinking ~10.

I don't think that's how people have been playing the game though? As far as I can tell, pops would put the Sun at 0, and a floor tile/still water (can't think of anything flatter right now) as 100.
Left is rounder. Right is flatter.

Oh, are you saying something that's round but not flat would be closer to 0, like a mace head. But something that's BOTH round and flat should be close to 50?
ALSO, what if pops was talking about one of these fancy ultra balls:
Maybe we should go for 90 then.

Do you have reason to believe pops would view it like this though? Her earlier posts indicate she's been viewing it as a 1-100 scale and not splitting it into 50s and differentiating each half like that.In post 156, Knightmare491 wrote:Nah I'm saying that don't look at the scale as a whole.

Actually, if you look really closely at them, the stripes are very slightly indented, which make the ball less perfectly round than I thought. However, that doesn't make them "flatter" either. I think by having the button/indent, it retains its roundness while not being perfectly flat.
Maybe we go for 15-20? 15.

I'm not entirely sure whether that was the clue-giver's interpretation of it, but Left seems better even if we take it by the other interpretation.

No, but I just asked someone I know who has. Apparently, he's pretty funny and says/does outrageous things, but isn't self-aware. She said she'd put him as 10 on the scale.

We can interpret "dark" in a figurative sense, but "colourful" isn't used often as antonym of that interpretation. But if we follow Isis' line of thinking and go by the author's comments, I would say 40 to 50. If we judge it in a literal sense of colours, I would say 30.

The round would be over if it was 56-61 for the 4 point range. I don't think you ever say rug for below 50. So as long as we don't think it's 50 to 55, it's an easy right.

Good point. It's probably around 70 and we're fineee. Happy for you to submit Right.In post 348, shiki wrote:the same would apply if the intended range were 61-66 in terms of the round being over, so i think you've narrowed the range too far. however, i agree that it's a pretty easy right.
Lilith, I think I enjoyed the discussion phases for more of the straightforward cards than the wacky cards (colourful/dark was fun though). That might just be the topics and how they turned out however.

The important thing to consider here is whether Ian is standing, sitting, or even lying down while measured.
While standing, he is 1.77m or 5ft 9.7in tall. 58.
While sitting, he is 3ft tall. 29.
While lying down, he is 0.5ft tall. 10.
I think playing it safe and going for the middle is best, so 29.

Never heard of him, I haven't watched the shows he's from either.
There's probably a running gag in his shows where he's made fun out of for being short despite being a perfectly normal height. Since you did the work for Brooklyn 99, shiki, I'll do it this time and binge all of Lost real quick to check. I'll report back soon.

I'm back from my Lost binge. I can confirm there is no running gag about Ian's height in any of the episodes.
I love the research about acting roles and perception of good/bad characters, but don't you guys think enomis would've also searched up Ian's height and average human male heights? Probably.
I like 58.

I think unicorns are a strong, sturdy, safe, solid, sound, secure, sure 100. Therefore, we should be going Right.
Isis' interpretation was a little flawed however. Unicorns are actually a cross between a Komodo Dragon (also has 4 legs), a Werewolf (also has fur), and a Cyclops (also has at least 1 eye). As all of these creatures are real, this should be fine.

I think it's quite an interesting clue tbf. There's obvious mythical creatures you can put for 0, like Llamas, but what if you get 45 to 55? Platypus isn't a bad shout from shiki. Maybe you just go for real animals that are in popular TV shows. So: Great Dane, Pink Panther, Pink Pig, Purple Dog (are these allowed?).

...I love the conspiracy theory but I'd be pretty surprised if she didn't mean the sword. Searching "Katana" doesn't yield any results related to the rendering software on the 1st page for me, so she'd be putting a lot of faith in us to take the far more obscure interpretation.
HOWEVER, I just noticed a distinction between this clue and all the others. We've been provided

From my Kanna-trivia-knowledge and based on her field: she's most likely to be talking about the visual effects software from the wikipedia page.
The question is how we get a measurement of smooth/rough from it. Maybe she wants us to render an Olympic Swimming Pool inside the program and see how smooth it turns out. Good thinking, Kanna.

Woah. Good work, enomis. I think we actually go 96 then.
My only concern about guessing 95+ however, is wouldn't Kanna just google "smoothest surfaces" and submit something like an atom mirror? Maybe she felt it was cheaty or wanted to go for style.

I was assuming the whole of the 4 point range would always be on the scale, shiki... but maybe not. I think we should go for 94 then.
One of us could buy it and test it out to see how smooth it is?

Maybe it's actually way to the left because all projects start out rough on Katana, before in some cases becoming real things irl when it comes to modelling.
There's a lot of focus on that and templates here:

Nothing more dry than water though. There's a reason when you have a dry mouth, the first thing you think of is water.
I like shiki's idea btw. Sounds like it could be fun and would certainly get rid of the maths meta if it limits the range of clues you can give. It'd increase the difficulty but considering all these 4-pointers we've been getting, I think we need one.

Uhhhh, so I was thinking in terms of volume of light rather than concentration of light when I gave the clue. So I considered a lit room as 50, and lamps below that. I know... I see the problem here.

I think there's more obvious things for "temporary" if they wanted to go for 80+. Life is temporary on a case by case basis, but less so if you look at it as a concept.
I'm happy with 75, since it might also be a reference to life expectancy as someone mentioned before.

Isn't Kanna obsessed with Club Penguin to this day? She gives me those vibes. 10 was my initial thought.
If my vibe read is incorrect: I'd like to think Kanna regarded Club Penguin to be fairly modern, given it's on the internet and all. If she meant in the context of the internet, we are become dead.
This feels like a clue where we take it one way or another and don't compromise down the middle. We go for 25 or 70

Great news, Datisi. After some extensive research, I have found that it's actually a movie, and a comedic one at that.
I managed to haggle with someone in the industry for some insider-info about the film:

Yeah, I could see the film having some heartfelt/touching moments between the bros which might add to the dramatic factor.
Still, it's primarily a comedy, is it not? I was thinking right of 50 for sure.

That was a fun time. I'm glad you didn't mention the disappearance of the hour hand from Big Ben, or the mysterious vanishing of half of the water from the river Thames. Funny coincidence that these strange things happened right when you visited...
Cops were kinda sus given how convenient the timing was and all, but I told them Pooky had their backs and that pretty much settled things. They handed over their backs on the spot and crawled out of the room.
