First strike.  
People who can give answers: Only **Sternvogel** and **JpnDude**

Hmm? **Zeldar** won’t be playing at all?

Guava

:eek:

One more strike. Red Team start thinking.

**JpnDude** is the only team member who can give an answer now, however once he does, everyone on the Blue Team may give answers again.

Sorry for being so late, this is exciting!

Since I am in Asia, I’ll say **PITAYA**.

Crossing fingers!

How long does our team get to discuss if we actually get a turn?

Not that I think the answers in my head are better than “pitaya”, but…ok, yes I do! 😉

XXX.

Sorry, **Dude** , heh.

Okay. It is now your team’s turn. Anyone from Red may have a guess. If anyone from that team can get one of the last two remaining answers, you’ll get 11 points.

You all (Red Team) may PM each other and discuss as much as you want.

This game, in case you haven’t realized by now (hahahahaha), is a play at your own pace type of game. Not one played and having a million answers in one day. It’s sorta like Chess by mail. 😛

A game to last a good long while to take your attention when you come here.

I PM’d everyone Red Teamer that has PM on.  
Several suggestions, **Idle** , how many guesses do we get? What controls are official guess?

Mango

Thanks for the PM! I just put this here without further discussion because I thought of mango yesterday and it matches one you sent. Plus, I didn’t know how many guesses we get and one was already thrown out there so I figured it wouldn’t hurt. 🙂

Whoops had no idea I didn’t have PMs enabled. Fixed that, but my team already guessed.

No, grape…GRAPE!!!

Can’t we discuss this here to get consensus? PMing between 10 people seems like a real bear.
