Codenames

@Rubio Either a single word, a dictionary phrase ("ice cream" is okay, but not "red fruit"), or a proper noun ("New York", "Sharknado", "Pride and Prejudice")

Sconibulus

treating it just as MOUSE, I'd probably go POINT and CHURCH

Rubio

need to just pin that already

Deusovi

CHURCH?

why CHURCH?

Sconibulus

CHURCH MOUSE is a pretty common phrase, right?

Wheat Wizard

Do we incurr a penalty?

Jan Dvorak

6:27 PM

Church doesn't work for computer mouse, though

Sconibulus

Right, I'm ignoring the word computer because it's cheating

Jan Dvorak

Uhh, a penalty would be a red win

Deusovi

I'd say "paste"

Red has nine clues, no?

n_palum

Yes

Jan Dvorak

Point and paste seems good

Deusovi

6:28 PM

And the board has 7 reds

Rubio

yeah we have two to go

Deusovi

POINT PASTE

Sid

Blues

Sconibulus

does anyone actually use a mouse to paste?

Sid

Both.

Deusovi

6:29 PM

is that game?

Wesley Situ

i sometimes do right click paste

Deusovi

I believe it is

Rubio

I routinely paste with my mouse.

Jan Dvorak

@Sconibulus does drag and drop count?

Sconibulus

huh, ok :) I almost always ctrl-c, ctrl-v

Jan Dvorak

6:29 PM

Just "computer" would have worked fine as a clue

Deusovi

@Sconibulus ditto

@JanDvorak Yeah, or CURSOR

n_palum

I'm very much a Ctrl-C/V person

and X

Jan Dvorak

I use ctrl+c / ctrl+v

Sid

I am extremely sorry about all the things that I messed up. Specially that body part clue.

Rubio

i have a clipboard (^C ^V) and a separate select/insert buffer I can paste with mouse middle-click

Deusovi

6:30 PM

It's fine! A lot of people here are new to the game

Wheat Wizard

gg

n_palum

Anyhoo.. My guesses for last reds are Stick/Marble because I'm feeling adventurous

Sid

I completely missed HAND right next to SPINE.

Deusovi

Now, @WheatWizard - what were the ATEs supposed to be???

Wheat Wizard

@Deusovi paste choclate, state

Rubio

6:30 PM

I want to know what FORMULA was

Deusovi

You said 4

Rubio

and why is paste, but not aztec?

Wheat Wizard

@n_palum red and red

Deusovi

I thought FORMULA might be LAP

Sid

Formula was LAP, MARBLE and MAPLE.

Jan Dvorak

6:31 PM

Why?

Deusovi

LAP as in Formula 1 racing

Sid

THE last one was a bit of stretch.

n_palum

Was Lap supposed to be a body part?

Jan Dvorak

oh

Wheat Wizard

1 hour ago, by Wheat Wizard

Blue: ATE (3)

Deusovi

6:31 PM

MAPLE as in the computer algebra system

Sid

Yes. Body part too.

Deusovi

no idea about MARBLE

@WheatWizard ...oh

n_palum

Interesting... well I would've gotten it :P

Sid

Marble because it is a chemical. CaSO4

Jan Dvorak

Well, it was a tough clue :-)

Sconibulus

6:32 PM

...isn't paste also chemical?

or poison

Jan Dvorak

It would help if I didn't confuse marble with granite :-D

Sid

Yeah. Did think of poison but I thought they would get at least 2.

Sconibulus

for what it's worth, I thought formula was probably cluing LAP, POINT, and PASTE or POISON

n_palum

Do we have enough around for another go?

Wheat Wizard

Are we up for another game?

n_palum

6:34 PM

o/

I'd like to

i can join

Sure

I'd rather not be spymaster again. Its fun but too stressful

Deusovi

I'd be happy to be a spymaster

n_palum

6:35 PM

I'll do it granted no one else wants it

I enjoy it, minus the internal screaming

Wheat Wizard

same teams?

Rubio

but..

the internal screaming is what it's all about :)

n_palum

Rubio you want a go?

Deusovi

@n_palum internal screaming is 2/3 of being spymaster

Rubio

absolutely not hehe

n_palum

6:36 PM

I'd say it's at least 9.9/10 parts of being spymaster

Jan Dvorak

The best way to enjoy your internal screaming is to watch puzzle let's plays :-D

Sid

I am out. I am too stressed out. And I have an exam tomorrow. Ha e a nice day, folks.

Rubio

seeya @sid :)

n_palum

Good luck Sid!

Rubio

good luck with the exam!

Deusovi

6:37 PM

Good luck!

Wheat Wizard

I made an audible noise when sid said body parts.

Rubio

lol

Jan Dvorak

Not that I don't want to spymast, but I'd probably ruin my team's game :-D

Rubio

I did it once.

... once.

n_palum

@Deusovi you wanna grab a seed then and share with moi

Jan Dvorak

6:38 PM

spymast, or ruin your team's game?

Deusovi

sure

n_palum

Rubio wanna list teams?

Deusovi

12293251

Jan Dvorak

N_palum + Deusovi spymasting then?

Business Cat

I'm in again

Rubio

6:39 PM

spymaster. I think I did pretty well with the clues, but my team didn't pick up on some of them

ffao

what is Deusovi's opinion on Rubio's colorful spymaster clues? :P

Deusovi

I haven't seen them

Rubio

Oh he'll probably rain all over my parade

Deusovi

now I'm curious

Wheat Wizard

Spy is a really good codename for a spy

Rubio

6:40 PM

I tried to clue "TRIP" and "GHOST" with: "The Haunted Haight Walking Tour (2)" (a thing in San Fran)

team guessed TRIP and then ... passed

Deusovi

WHAT

ffao

he also used "London has Fallen" and "Back to Sherwood"

but that tour was the biggest one

Deusovi

They passed?

Sconibulus

huh

ffao

they passed, I was so happy when that happened

Jan Dvorak

6:41 PM

What did they think it was?

Rubio

I actually did scream at my monitor. hehe

Deusovi

Anyway, the teams?

Jan Dvorak

I'm okay with any assignment

Rubio

I'd like to be on the winning team, please.

n_palum

You want red or blue

Deusovi

6:42 PM

don't care

Sconibulus

oh captain my captain

Wesley Situ

i'll be on blue

Jan Dvorak

blue then, to keep sides

Wheat Wizard

blue please

Deusovi

alright, I guess I'll be blue

Business Cat

6:43 PM

Doesn't matter to me

I guess I'll go red again

ffao

I didn't want to repeat spymasters, but eh, let's go red

n_palum

You don't like me :P

Didn't we win?

ffao

we did, I have no reason for not liking you

except the fact that you're not here

n_palum

It'd really be an easier game if I was here

or if LOADER was one of the words

Deusovi

anyway n_p, you're up first

Sconibulus

6:45 PM

I'll be red I guess? Think they have less

Rubio

I assume I'm on red

can someone post 'em up

Deusovi

RED: n_palum, Business Cat, ffao, Sconibulus, Rubio

ffao

BLUE: Deusovi, Wesley Situ, Wheat Wizard, Jan Dvorak

Jan Dvorak

Is the board above the board we play?

Deusovi

yep, we're playing the one that starts DECK/HOSPITAL

ffao

6:46 PM

I'll be leaving in a few mins so that's balanced

n_palum

Red: MUSIC (2)

Wesley Situ

wait

what

Blue?

Blue?

Hush hush

6:47 PM

probably STRING and JAM?

ffao

that's still a clue for us, right?

Business Cat

Jam seems obvious

n_palum

Yes yes

Jan Dvorak

I'll be glad to take the clue, but even if it gives us the points

Business Cat

Theater too possibly

Rubio

6:48 PM

welp. there's a witch in Wicked. there's pirates in Pirates of Penzance. there's bats in Phantom. and there's "My Shot" in Hamilton. so clearly

Business Cat

But less likely

Rubio

our possibilities are string and jam

Sconibulus

he only clued 2, if not, BERRY was a musician who died recently I think

Business Cat

I'd say Jam, String

ffao

I think jam and string, and if one of those is not the go theater or something

Rubio

6:49 PM

I like string > jam > theater myself

ok

Ok

k

ok then

STRING

n_palum

RED

Rubio

6:50 PM

JAM

also RED

[PASSING]

High fives

VAMPIRE, 4

bat for one of them

6:51 PM

bat

Jan Dvorak

spike

Wesley Situ

spike

change maybe for the transformation into a bat

Jan Dvorak

shot?

+1 on "change maybe

Wesley Situ

wouldnt the shot be for werewolves?

Jan Dvorak

theater? It's not red.

ah, probably not theater

Wheat Wizard

6:52 PM

4 is alot

Wesley Situ

Vampire Dice isnt a thing is it? like Zombie Dice

Wheat Wizard

lets guess the spike and bat and play it from there

Jan Dvorak

dress also sounded associated, but don't give much weight to it

Wesley Situ

sure

i think the vampires in Twilight are well-dressed :P

Jan Dvorak

spike/bat/pass?

Wheat Wizard

6:53 PM

I don't think we should pass

but I think we should lock in spike and bat

Wesley Situ

considering we're going second

Jan Dvorak

spike/bat/...

Wesley Situ

we should go for more than just two

Wheat Wizard

to get a feel

bat first though

Jan Dvorak

bat/spike/...

Wheat Wizard

6:54 PM

sounds good

Jan Dvorak

Can we guess before discussing more?

yes

BAT

blue

SPIKE

6:55 PM

neutral

welp

... drat

ok rip

You updating image Deus?

Wheat Wizard

we have 3 vampire words hanging around.

Deusovi

6:55 PM

Wesley Situ

there wasnt such a thing as a "What is a Vampire Word?" puzzle was there

n_palum

Red: JOB (3)

Deusovi

whoa, you can't do that, n_p - you updated your clue

Jan Dvorak

I'll have to AFK for a few minutes soonish

n_palum

I thought I did it fast enough and it was a single letter :( :( :(

Avert your eyes

Sconibulus

6:57 PM

Witch and Pirate sound like they have fun jobs

Rubio

i didn't even see the original

Business Cat

Nut job

Rubio

i think a post is a job

Sconibulus

Spy is probably a job

Rubio

spy is a job

Sconibulus

6:58 PM

is Post more likely than Mail?

Rubio

mail isn't a job

post actually means job as one of its meanings

Sconibulus

ahh, right, I usually think of that as station
