Ice hockey! Everyone likes ice hockey; ice hockey is Really Super cool. Especially the Canadians, they love hockey, except poor Canadians, they didn’t actually win the women’s ice hockey gold medal due to the USA. Everyone hates silver; silver is Fundamentally Lifeless. Especially in, you know, the biggest tournament around. Imagine if you got silver two years in a row in the same part of the competition, and then the year after, you were too old to compete, that might be kinda infuriating. But then again, once you can no longer compete, you can coach people, and run tournaments, and volunteer at tournaments organizing events.

Side note - there doesn’t seem to be a lot of activity in the game anymore, like I’m 12 hours late with this and nobody complained and there was only 1 protect, have the rest of the officers either died or used up their protects? I’d like my writing these clues to actually be worth it, and I’m pretty sure there’s at least one officer spot open, so, next person to comment who has not been and is not an officer this game becomes an officer. (Idr how many officer spots are open so we’ll just do it once right now. PM’ing solutions to clues is of course also an option.)

EDIT: Pretty sure to become an officer you also have to be not dead. So yeah.
Sorry for double posting but someone protect windu34. They got 2nd in Electric Vehicle at nats two years in a row, then couldn't compete anymore, but coached, ran tournaments, and volunteered.

I was going to protect Windu when I first saw the clue so I'm not sure what to do.

Wait didn't you run out of accusations

EDIT: Does “Really Cool Fundamentally Lifeless” mean anything

vehicleguy is now unable to accuse or protect.

Glad someone else figured out that multiple sassies never results in a great game. :roll:

Oh. I was slightly confused by the rules. If I knew I couldn't accuse or protect, I wouldn't have accused. Oh well, it's my first game.
