everything is a thing

ATaco

Wait, this might not even be english.

Deusovi

there are too many things

Rubio

yeah pretty much everything is a thing.

Deusovi

there should be less things

Sconibulus

2: Sounds wise?

Rubio

3:00 AM

It must be English

n_palum

But it's not a scrabble word is my point - which makes it invalid to defend

I only know that as a Herbicide from working in a Home Depot lol

Helka Homba

@n_palum right, but as an attacker clue I think it's ok

Wheat Wizard

I didn't check if it was a scrabble word, but it is a word

Rubio

Just for clarity: the defender's word must follow Scrabble rules - that doesn't strictly mean it has to be found in a Scrabble dictionary, as many (particularly longer) words that are legal, are not in there

n_palum

Yeah, I was just pointing it out

For that ^^

ATaco

3:01 AM

Contact 2..?

Wheat Wizard

Well then pass on 2

Helka Homba

@Sconibulus I was thinking sedgelike

Deusovi

ATaco

That's... Yeah, that's two words.

Sedge Wren

Wheat Wizard

Its a bird

Deusovi

It's a two-word bird.

Rubio

3:03 AM

the bird is two words.

ATaco

It is infact two words though.

n_palum

A twird?

Wheat Wizard

Oh my bad, I thought it was only one

Rubio

Aight, May I defend?

n_palum

Helka Homba

@ATaco a different game was starting in chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/59120/codenames

Deusovi

I've posted the Codenames rules if anyone's interested

Helka Homba

But I think I gotta go

Rubio

What sound does a twird make? A twooter

ATaco

3:04 AM

(I only just got the hang of Contact)

Deusovi

(tbh I think Codenames is easier than Contact)

n_palum

Mmmm in some ways it is

Speaking of rules.. @Rubio do you want me to make a google doc tomorrow to do a Contact write up if you haven't begun that?

Rubio

I've got a start on it but hadn't Doc'ed it yet, will hopefully do that still tonight

n_palum

Gotcha gotcha

Deusovi

We could start a meta thread: "What games are played in Puzzling chatrooms, and what are their rules?"

cover CCCCs, Contact, Codenames, and maybe even a game that doesn't start with C at some point

Sconibulus

3:08 AM

I swear I see Cricket sometimes :)

Rubio

"VTC: game's name does not begin with C."

awesomepi

seems legit

n_palum

@Sconibulus May as well when Gerbil and Techi go at it XD

@Deusovi I'd be happy to contribute :P

I said we should try "You don't say" but that's not a C word :P

A game of ~~thrones~~ words

boboquack

@Rubio Ah

in Codenames, 4 hours ago, by Deusovi

CODENAMES RULES
---------------

We split into two teams: red and blue. Each team has one "spymaster", and the rest of its players are "operatives".

(Sorry, I didn't come up with the theme.)

Everyone will see a 5x5 grid of words, representing people. Some of these words are "agents" for the red and blue teams, some are regular people, and one is the assassin.

The goal of the game is for your operatives to contact all your agents (guess all your team's words) before the other team does.

----

It goes on for longer than that

Wen1now

This looks interesting already

incesterror21

7:32 AM

In principle your spymaster must tell you which words to choose

And can do this with 1 word + 1 number
