12:00 AM

park caboose is a phrase that I think exists too, but Tail definitely first

Jan Dvorak

park second you say?

TAIL

Rubio

TAIL is a BLUE word ✔

Sconibulus

sorry, trying to look back to see other clues

Jan Dvorak

I've never heard of park cabooses though

cabeese?

n_palum

I wouldn't count me in, doing other stuff.

numbermaniac

12:02 AM

sounds like cheese

boboquack

@JanDvorak That's cabbage and cheese

Sconibulus

I think I've heard authority figures ordering the parking of one's caboose

as in, 'sit your ass down' but polite-lie

Jan Dvorak

go for it, then.

Sconibulus

PARK

Rubio

PARK is a RED word. :(

Blue's turn ends.

Sconibulus

12:05 AM

aww, sorry

boboquack

Gareth McCaughan

I've forgotten how this started; how many more do we need?

boboquack

Thanks!

3 more

Gareth McCaughan

ok

Rubio

3 for red, 4 for blue

boboquack

12:07 AM

Gimme a mo

nth?

Dr Jekyll, 2

lotov cocktail?

@Rubio Our new mods continue a tradition of civil unrest

Gareth McCaughan

so I think "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" is set in London

(and also there is a Hyde Park in London)

numbermaniac

12:10 AM

i don't know much about them but if they do experiments then maybe boom is appropriate

Rubio

@boboquack It's like Chaotic Good. You can have civility and unrest, or incivility and rest. Which do you want?

Gareth McCaughan

and with "Dr" in the clue it's reasonable to hope that NURSE is safe

(it's a short story; it does involve experiments with bad outcomes but they don't go boom)

numbermaniac

why not both theme plays

ah ok

Gareth McCaughan

I'll take incivility and unrest please

numbermaniac

found the sociopath

ffao

12:11 AM

I don't think it's set in London, but hyde park is as good a connection as any

Gareth McCaughan

(which may or may not be what numbermaniac meant)

numbermaniac

lol

Sconibulus

Hyde Park on Hudson?

I thought FDR looked a bit fishy

boboquack

FDR?

Gareth McCaughan

so do we have any proposals more credible than london & nurse for this clue?

ffao

12:12 AM

I do not

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum do you still exist?

wait he's on the other team

ffao

I was thinking those before you suggested them, in fact

Gareth McCaughan

I mean @numbermaniac do you have any suggestions?

n_palum

10 mins ago, by n_palum

I wouldn't count me in, doing other stuff.

numbermaniac

not really

Gareth McCaughan

12:13 AM

@n_palum that's OK; please feel free to stay away (you're on the team opposing mine).

Jan Dvorak

I have to go sleep now. Sorry

n_palum

Oh in that case...

numbermaniac

another one bites the dust

Gareth McCaughan

OK. Which is more likely to be disastrous if we've misunderstood, hyde or nurse?

Jan Dvorak

Hey, I'll wake up in the morning!

numbermaniac

12:13 AM

i think london might be safer

Jan Dvorak

OK... afternoon

numbermaniac

You don't know that for certain

Gareth McCaughan

sorry, I meant london when I said hyde

OK then

Jan Dvorak

Wish me luck

Gareth McCaughan

LONDON

Rubio

12:14 AM

LONDON is a RED word ✔

Gareth McCaughan

good luck @JanDvorak.

ok, we were OK with london; nurse next?

ffao

I say yes

Gareth McCaughan

NURSE

Rubio

NURSE is also a RED word ✔

Gareth McCaughan

wheee

numbermaniac

12:15 AM

woo

Gareth McCaughan

any objections to passing? We now have 1 to get versus 4 for the other team

I don't think there's any obvious unfinished business from earlier clues

Rubio

I think you should press on

ffao

nope, pass them the hot potato

Gareth McCaughan

thanks @Rubio, I'll be sure to ignore that

pass

Red's turn ends.

12:16 AM

neat

Blue now has one active player besides the spymaster.

ffao

for future reference, @Gareth, we usually indicate passes by [passing]

because PASS is a valid word

Rubio

This should go sparklingly well.

Gareth McCaughan

that's why I put it in lowercase @ffao

do we need to donate a player to Team Blue?

numbermaniac

12:17 AM

inb4 this.pass()

n_palum

I got this

Rubio

man. i got nothing.

n_palum

Bring the clues Rubio

Gareth McCaughan

@Rubio of course you have. You have, for instance, four words to clue.

Rubio

BLUE: ROBERT DOWNEY, JR. (2)

ffao

12:20 AM

a 2 clue when you have to get 4 to win?

Gareth McCaughan

hoping that we screw up next time

not obviously the worst strategy

if there just isn't a good way to clue four things (which there very well may not be)

Rubio

Giving you (unlimited) is unhelpful, trust me. And I can't clue for more than 2.

n_palum

IRON

ffao

I haven't seen screw-ups on (1), but there's a first time for everything, I guess

Rubio

IRON is a BLUE word ✔

n_palum

12:21 AM

SCREEN

Rubio

SCREEN is a BLUE word ✔

n_palum

BOOM

Rubio

BOOM is a NEUTRAL word

n_palum

Worth a shot

Rubio

yah

ffao

12:22 AM

it would be so much better if that were the assassin.

Gareth McCaughan

agreed but the gods don't always smile on you

@boboquack?

boboquack

Boat, 1

numbermaniac

lol

ffao

how are we getting a 2 clue when we only have 1 word left

n_palum

That's not a 2 clue

boboquack

12:23 AM

Mobile phones… grrr

n_palum

That's a clue for 1, but you get two guesses technically.

Gareth McCaughan

I think ... it might possibly be SHIP

ffao

yes, just go with ship

n_palum

Nah Ship != Boat

Rubio

pshhh, scrub.

it's obviously fish. you fish from a boat. duh.

Sconibulus

12:24 AM

probably BRIDGE, for the Command Center

Gareth McCaughan

just as well they already got IRON because otherwise we should totally be guessing IRON+FISH

SHIP

Sconibulus

Ships are different than Boats

Rubio

SHIP is a RED word

RED WINS

Gareth McCaughan

ta daaaaa

numbermaniac

:D

Gareth McCaughan

12:24 AM

good game, thanks all

boboquack

So we've worked out which new mod is better…

Gg everyone

Business Cat

If you're doing another, I'm in

Gareth McCaughan

I'm afk for at least the next 10 minutes or so and possibly more like the next 10 hours or so

Rubio

^^

boboquack

I'm back now

ffao

12:38 AM

^^

Sp3000

@Rubio Ahaha my initial first clue was TONY STARK but once again... GENIUS :/ (thanks for standing in, sorry about that)

boboquack

@boboquack I can play, but I don't want to be a spymaster, let someone else have a go

ffao

but you won the last game!

Alconja

I can play if there's another game starting

boboquack

So how many's that? Say 'I can play' if you can play

I can play

ffao

12:45 AM

I can play, ping @Rubio @BusinessCat

Business Cat

Yeah I'm here

I can play

boboquack

Who wants to be spymaster?

ffao

I can be spymaster

brb

boboquack

Hi @WesleySitu!

Can you play?

Alconja

I'll give spymaster a go if no one else wants it....

boboquack

12:50 AM

@Sp3000 Can you play now?

I don't think Alconja's been a spymaster before, so I'll join their team

@Alconja or @ffao what colour?

Alconja

RED

simply because I've played a grand total of two games, both as red, and knowing me i'll get all confused if I switch now :P

Business Cat

Alright, I'll go blue then

ffao

Blue is a fine color

boboquack

@sp3 and @rub (and gar) pick a team

ffao

I'm not sure they can play

boboquack

12:57 AM

Rubio said ^^ to Business cat's I can play (or some similar) and you said ^^ to Rubio...

Anyway:

BLUE: ffao, Business Cat

Alconja

Ok, @ffao, seed: 747672

boboquack

RED: Alconja, boboquack

ffao

the website link should be pinned

boboquack

Unpin old teams please? (I'm not a RO here :P)

numbermaniac

boboquack

12:59 AM

Ooh yay, RED first

Sp3000

@boboquack Count me as no - work :/ would love to play but unfortunately will only spectate

Business Cat

Oh boy, no teammates to keep my stupid guesses in check

Alconja

RED: COLLECTION (3)

boboquack

Alconja

boboquack

1:01 AM

Yay

I'm not sure, but YOLO:

PART

(I've seen worse guesses)

Alconja

PART is RED

boboquack

Phew

Ring would be something mathematical to do with a collection of items, perhaps?

Stock, part of a collection

Compound, a group (sort of)

[passing]

Still a good start

@ffao you're up

ffao

how did you get 2 words from "collection"

screenshot, anyone:

boboquack

@ffao What do you mean, how?

Too broad, too narrow, or am I missing something obvious?

ffao

if I were in your position I wouldn't know to guess church or part

too broad for me

Alconja

1:05 AM

@ffao Because red team

boboquack

^

ffao

boboquack

I don't like all the underlines

ffao

all of the screenshots so far have had underlines, no?

boboquack

Yes, but I don't like them still

Alconja

@awesomepi You can join. Teams are even, so pick a colour

awesomepi

Limousine, tap, bat, Aztec, shot, lock, vet, compound, cotton or pyramid!

ASSASSIN

awesomepi

SPELL

ffao

Spell is blue!

Business Cat

We have to get this or we lose

awesomepi

ye

I was thinking maybe AZTEC?

Business Cat

1:36 AM

Maybe, I'm not sure how much witchcraft was a thing for them

boboquack

I was thinking: Killer donkeys start ignoring nature (8)

awesomepi

I can't think of anything else that might be

Business Cat

I guess we go for Aztec?

boboquack

I

I need this line of I's to continue

ffao

I like it too

boboquack

1:38 AM

I mean - the start of the messages

I can't see any way to break it

awesomepi

deep breath

AZTEC

ffao

Aztec is blue! Blue team wins!

Alconja

I mean, come on... surely witches put BATs in their cauldrons when they cast spells??

awesomepi

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

boboquack

@Alconja That's what I thought

ffao

1:39 AM

I thought so too, but I had to give a 2 clue

Also, having pyramid be the assassin when one of your words is aztec is really mean

Alconja

Curse you blue. I'll get you next time...

This is true

boboquack

Another game, anyone?

Same teams, rotate spymaster?

Alconja

So, yes. For those playing at home, BAT was the other RED, and PYRAMID was the ASSASSIN

Business Cat

Woot

Alconja

Happy to play again. Happy to rotate (or not if no one else wants it).

awesomepi
