Hint #1:

maize

Popcorn?

Sorry, wrong

Clue 2: Centeotl

Uhm, what? There`s no english word called "Centeotl"?!?

buttplug?

It seems I wasn't paying close enough attention. Both of these hints are basically translations for the password "maize" being another word for corn and "centeotl" being a god of corn, which would technically be allowed if not for the fact that part of his name literally translates to "corn"), so I think I'll just call this particular round a tie and move on to the next password. I'll see if I can insert a 6th password to make up for it.

New passwords have been handed out, the current turns/roles still apply (the round is basically being started over). ZFR goes first.

So my guess "Popcorn" was closest to the solution? Nice!

Hmmm... I thought English synonyms were fair game, and in fact legit methods to arrive at the password. Like "pretty" - "beautiful". In fact rule 3 states "No using a foreign word which translates directly into the password" (emphasis mine). In fact it works in English because if one puts a foreign translation, his partner will immediately arrive at the answer, but if one puts "beautiful", there is no telling if it was meant as a synonym, or something else.

Either way, if you want to disallow English synonyms, modify rule three so there is no ambiguity next time.

Hint for password 2: helium

Gas?

"Maize" isn't actually English. It's a Spanish word, which means "corn". We just borrowed the word and stuffed it into our own language, as English has a tendency to do to other languages.
No, that's AFTER you eat all the corn.

...Even after vacation, my jokes still haven't gotten any better. Oy.

Cocentrate guys! I'm watching you and I don't want to regret that I'm not playing. ;)

Hmmm...
Orange?
No, no, wait:
Stare.

...oh, right, I'm not playing either.

Sorry, no.
