Sconibulus
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
Jan Dvorak
nth?
boboquack
Dr Jekyll
,
2
Rubio
lotov cocktail?
boboquack
@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
Rubio
Red's turn ends.
boboquack
12:16 AM
numbermaniac
neat
Rubio
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

Business Cat

ffao

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

I'm not sure, but YOLO:
PART

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

boboquack
I'll assume that ring was the collection and
[passing]
@awesomepi Just join one
Alconja
@awesomepi You can join. Teams are even, so pick a colour
(noting that red is winning and is better)
awesomepi

Business Cat

Spell is blue!
Business Cat
We have to get this or we lose
awesomepi

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

AZTEC

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
