I thought I knew what Mith was getting at, but now I'm hopelessly lost again

Mithical

8: Condensed rainbow flapping in the wind - gifting along the y-axis, or +uses doctor to get rid of insects

John Dvorak

still no idea

Mithical

Oh, I give up

HTM

If it's my word, then I don't know what to say

John Dvorak

If it's your word, what you should say is "sorry" :P

Mithical

9:04 PM

1: Hush!

@HTM *looking back* it is definitely not your word, but I did miss it the first time it was clued

HTM

Hmm, a try then

8: SURREAL?

Mithical

8: SURREAL is incorrect.

2: almost + almost + almost + almost +, mixed up reptile (5) = (13)

Hosch250

Mith is breaking my mind, LOL.

John Dvorak

from 'potterverse' import 'crystalball'

Mithical

5: hills

Quintec

9:09 PM

What dialect of python is this that uses quotes for imports

HTM

Someone other than Mith have any ideas?

5: SURREY?

Mithical

5: SURREY is correct.

(star 2 and 8?)

I suspect 2 has a chance of being HTM's word.

HTM

Perhaps, but since I have no idea what it is I'm gonna wait to see if someone can contact it first

Just in case it isn't

Mithical

2 simplified: almost (+ (again and again)); confused snake (5) = (13)

Quintec

contact 2

HTM

9:14 PM

Pass 2

Quintec

i honestly am only 40% sure

SURREPTITIOUS?

Mithical

2: SURREPTITIOUS is correct!

HTM

My word was SURREPTITIOUS

Congrats @Mithical!

Mithical

(8 was SURRENDER)

HTM

All I could get was "Almost + almost..." = REPTITI, but didn't know what the "mixed up reptile" was for

Mithical

9:15 PM

sneak; def

HTM

Oh, it was the definition?

Yeah, don't know why you couldn't have just said "Sneaky" instead, but you do you I guess :)

Quintec

It was a definition in a definition

HTM

And how does the "condensed rainbow" one work?

Mithical

@HTM Where would the fun be in that?

condensed rainbow = white

Quintec

@HTM It would also possibly give the clue away without the wordplay

HTM

9:17 PM

Well this late in the game there aren't really many other words left to try

Mithical

white flag = surrender. gifting along the y-axis = giving up = surrender.

or +uses doctor to get rid of insects = ENDER (from Ender's Game)

Quintec

Gifting along the y-axis haha

HTM

@Quintec I'm gonna start using that phrase in my Codenames logs now

Quintec

VTC: Needs details and clarity.

HTM

Heck, I'm gonna use it in general instead of "surrender" from now on

Mithical

...Mith, I don't know if you're the world's greatest genius or if you need to go to the hospital

Has this shed any light on that? :P

HTM

I'm... just gonna keep an eye on you from now on

Quintec

It's somewhere in between :P

Hosch250

Maybe Israel should assign you to be a code cracker.

Or, for that matter, a code generator :P

Mithical

...they're already trying to get me in the intelligence units.

Hosch250

I was referencing your previous comment about that. :)

Quintec

9:22 PM

We've intercepted a message from the enemy: it reads... gifting along the y-axis!?

HTM

We offer you a condensed rainbow. Good day.

Anyway, I gotta go get lunch, and then it's study time for the rest of the day

Thanks for the game!

Mithical

Yeah, I'mma head to bed now as well. \o

Hosch250

See y'all. I'm going home!

Quintec

Lunch and bed - I'm somewhere in between :P Cya all!
