!help

Hello! I'm , a bot to help with the game of Contact.
I will try to keep track of the game state and keep the game moving. If you're on my whitelist, you can use the following commands to communicate with me (some are mod-only):

!clues - list all active clues
!contacts [<clueNum>] - list contacts for a specific clue or all clues
!unpass - undo a "pass" if you made a mistake
!kill - remove a clue from the list of active clues. This will kill anyone's clue, not just your own.
!gameover - ends a game, resetting my data
!uncontact <clueNum> - remove all contacts for clue <clueNum>
!shutup [<minutes>] - silence me completely for the specified amount of time (defaults to 10 min)

Never played this before but just read the meta post, and it seems fun.

What's with this new 0/ trend

What happened to poor old o/

There's a guide to waving in the codenames thread

different waves mean different things

GentlePurpleRain

in Codenames, Jun 11 at 21:38, by Mithrandir

BTW, quick guide to waving: O/ is "I can SM", o/ is "I can play but not SM", and 0/ is "I can play and can SM if needed, but prefer not to SM"

Pavel

J. Sallé

@Pavel too ASCII-y is my guess

Mithrandir

4:36 PM

where SM == defend

GentlePurpleRain

So Pavel wants to defend?

Yes

Go for it.

Orion is the Hunter constellation

GentlePurpleRain

4:41 PM

You passed, I had contacted the clue, so I guessed.

Pavel

But why "male huntress"

GentlePurpleRain

Sorry.

I thought you meant you didn't get what happened in the game.

Pavel

I mean I wouldn't have gotten it anyway

Mithrandir

4 dies; OLORIN

J. Sallé

Artemis would be the huntress while Orion is the male counterpart is what I assumed.

5 dies. O

@quartata, it's been more than 1.5 minutes since Pavel provided a new letter, and you still haven't indicated whether clue #3 is alive or dead.

That's the problem with not-obscure clues.

Pavel

Fair enough

GentlePurpleRain

We're trying to make them so you can't guess them, but someone else can.

Hi, John!

Pavel

The problem is that no one else can :P

GentlePurpleRain

10: no

I think that part of the problem here is most of the remaining words begin with OVER-, and many are synonyms of each other.

J. Sallé

Yeah that's what I was thinking

GentlePurpleRain

I can think of a few possible answers for some of the clues, but I'm reluctant to contact, because I may not be thinking of the correct synonym.

There aren't very many contacts on existing clues. Why don't you focus on solving some of them instead of posting more?
