BLUE goes first!

user image

Whoa, is that a new feature?

Yay for Shiro's upgrade \o/

The bot?

8:03 AM

Good work, @ffao

Which new feature, the BLUE goes first feature?

Yes, that one..

I believe that was made by Sp3000

Oh.

Good work, @whoeverdidit

Okay no it was numbermaniac

Wait actually I can't read

I have no idea

8:04 AM

good work @boboquack

just because you pinged 3 people who didn't do it

Huh?

LOL

LOL.

So are you going to make idx nicer?

Okay it was numbermaniac... I'm 50% sure

8:06 AM

@Wen Give me an easy one first turn.

We're blue, right?

Hasn't even looked at the board

Apparently, yes.

Oh welp, I'll play now

um... it doesn't change anything in the bot and I'm sure this version works

!flipcoin

8:06 AM

Blue

Okay, I'll join blue

don't want to have to test the other one

@ffao Are you playing?

nah, just watching for now

sorry guys...there was an internet problem

8:10 AM

Um, we need to do this fast. I might not be on for much

Pitfall, 2

I am alone in blue? Or is bobo in as well?

Yes, both of us

Great. Any ideas?

But I don't know what pitfall could be

(tenuous) Cover?

8:13 AM

Could be Ground as well.. Cover sounds semi-plausible as well.

It would cover a manhole, which is kind of a pit you can fall into

Oh wait!

WEB

*whistles*

Ah. Makes sense.

(it would be a pitfall for a fly/other insect)

Go for it.

WEB

8:14 AM

red

Red

.... What?

...

*whistles more happily*

..

8:14 AM

hehe

GEOMETRY, 2

*strangles Jan Dvorak so they can't whistle any longer*

!board

No problem. Need a big clue, next time..

who is our team?

user image

8:15 AM

@manshu I am

CIRCLE

red

LINE

red

nice

[PASS]

I'd guess SPACE

8:16 AM

user image

3-D space is an area in geometry

space is good, but line is better :-D

> Help me Obi-wan1now, you're my only hope.

With apologies to Rand al'Thor

I have also briefly considered cover

where is the chat option in SE app?

8:19 AM

@manshu use the Opera app for that

knight, 2

you mean the web browser opera?

yes

oh.

Knight - dragon

@Sid?

8:21 AM

Maybe. I have no idea now, actually.

Come on, it's pretty obvious

More obvious than WEB

Okay. Go for it..

DRAGON

any team needs help guessing?

blue

red needs more players

8:22 AM

But you have to go to RED

to even out numbers

go for cover as well.

well... I seem to be doing well in 1v2, so I may as well try 1v3 :-D

COVER

@JanDvorak 2v3

blue

wen/bob is blue?

8:23 AM

Woot!

!board

user image

wen, bob and sid are blue

OK, I take @stackreader

Do we go for ground for pitfall?

OK, so we've got one more knight and one more pitfall

Hmm... I think so.

8:23 AM

It's not like we are going to win this unless red mess up big time..

^

You're just two behind

So, might as well go for ground..

What's the worst that can happen? :D

assassin :-D

8:24 AM

GROUND

blue

Wooo!

@JanDvorak see, told you so

Pitfall is done, @bobo

assassin.... assassin is the worse that can happen.

8:24 AM

@Sid Yep

!board

!board

red turn

user image

(Time to test out the double-board thing)

8:25 AM

Nope, I am not whitelisted.

Yay, it worked

sweet. What's the timeout?

BTW I don't get line 203

We've already tested the timeout thing

Is that the line with @

How does python parse @cooldown(10)?

8:27 AM

That would be 216 on the new version

@bobo I got the last knight word. @Wen you too. No need to clue that anymore..

It is a decorator in python

Well, maybe you got it ;-)

Central, 2

park seems good

8:28 AM

only one that I can see so far.

PARK

red

DRIVE

central space, perhaps

@boboquack let's not post words by themselves. It might confuse the spymasters.

should I go for central space?

I will join red..

8:30 AM

Why is the code
pat = re.compile("\s*<b>(.*)</b>\s*", re.IGNORECASE)
and not
pat = re.compile(".*<b>(.*)</b>.*", re.IGNORECASE)

washington, space, deck, and cross are the only one that I can see but all at about 10% chance haha

And I think yes. That looks good.

Space looks good.

@Techidiot Do flipcoin

SPACE

!flipcoin

8:30 AM

Red

yellow

What?

Dammit, Shiro...

!board

Shiro says Space is red

huh...

8:31 AM

user image

it's yellow.

I think Shiro was trying to confuse us

I trust shiro more XD

Shiro gave red to flipcoin..

I think Shiro should reveal word colors

8:31 AM

@Wen1now Then what about this clue, numbering?

Abandon the game. Shiro is in blue team.

That still gets detected

Exactly

You don't want that

@boboquack I mean even with the current programming

@bobo the last knight word is fighter.

8:32 AM

OK

@Wen1now How so?

And plus the clues are never allowed to clue a word already on the board

@JanDvorak Do we have any remaining clues?

We have one central to go, and that's it

regexes find a match

@Wen1now No, but I could talk about a word on the board

8:33 AM

Okay. Good

Then don't bold it, bold=guess

@boboquack don't

checks the board for "talk" and "word"

I guess either way is fine but we want to make it foolproof

So if somebody does:

I will guess [insert guess here]

Then Shiro can pick it up

Anyways ... blue to give a clue

Hey, then why not get rid of the \s* altogether?

8:36 AM

word boundary

Actually, good point, we can get rid of the second \s*

angry, 1

face, maybe?

FIGHTER and

...

Or cross.

Is there bird?

!board

8:39 AM

user image

Yeah, CROSS

CROSS

bird is the word :p

blue

FIGHTER

Shiro is confused

8:40 AM

red

w00t

.... What?

:D

!board

user image

8:40 AM

... @Wen1now!

@Wen we need to talk about that clue once the game ends..

What?

Knights fight

^double conformation

Okay, I guess my clues were kinda dodgy

Knight=SUIT [of armour]?

8:42 AM

Possible as well..

hardest, 1

@Wen1now shush, SM ;-)

Anyway, red's turn.

I suspect Manshu means diamond

Diamond?

But why hardest? Why not precious? So, it may not be diamond

8:42 AM

... or gem

@Wen we need an unlimited or (0) clue next turn. Give us a good one..

Where is rock?

Oh..

WASHINGTON is the hardest thing to understand what is going on

Let's go for diamond

Like Trump says Covfefe one day

8:43 AM

Yes.. Not sure about why hardest..

we need to think

Then says bye-bye Paris agreement

May be it means something else..

@Techidiot Exactly! What about steel?

If he does, we're screwed anyways :-D

@bobo they elected the wisest guy in the whole world. How do you think us mere mortals can understand his master plan?

8:44 AM

Let's not overthink it

To be fair, I think if it gets the job done it doesn't matter too much :P grabs popcorn

Yeah..

Go for it @Jan

May 31 at 14:23, by Deusovi

BIRD (0) means "NONE OF OUR WORDS ARE RELATED TO BIRDS. DO NOT DO ANYTHING WITH BIRDS. BIRDS ARE BAD"

@JanDvorak Let's overthink it

DIAMOND

8:45 AM

red

let's not overthink it, especially given that Bobo wants the opposite :-D

Hmm.. Good that there were no better alternatives :p

Now, I believe we have a leftover clue

@manshu Yeah, so if all the words didn't have some letter, but all the other words did, Wen1now could do C, 0

!boar

!board

8:45 AM

user image

So, we have central..

@boboquack I don't think we're allowed spelling clues

@boboquack GENIUS!!!

Is Washington central? I think it's easter right?

Okay, I am off for lunch. All on you, @bobo

8:46 AM

Actually... central space was a bad guess because there geometry was a 2

Central space is a term used most of the times so I guessed that would be right

@Wen1now You are

Washington hosts a central park, but park was already on the board

Central could be -> Cell as well as in Jail..

Because spelling clues are usual so ambiguous anyway

8:47 AM

I thought we had a discussion which ended in you aren't

@Techidiot Yes, CEntraL

@boboquack you really aren't.

So, what if he wanted to clue both, Central Park and Washington?

Because *CEL*=CELL

@ffao Aren't you?

When was it decided?

central diamond, is that a thing?

8:48 AM

But diamond was hardest right.. the word might be something else..

Hmm, lets pass

May 30 at 3:01, by Deusovi

but anyway, I have nothing against spelling clues - I don't use them myself, since there's no way to hint at them being a spelling clue or anything

I don't like passing

I don't know, we discussed it in that really big game

So, go for Washington :p

that quote is old

8:48 AM

How many blues are left?

I count five

May 29 at 10:37, by ffao

I don't think we have reached a consensus on spelling clues

Is chat.stackexchange.com/feeds/rooms/starred/59120 broken for anyone?

and he posts an even older quote

5:2, I think we can afford a breather

chat really isn't a good place to discuss rulesets anyway, someone should make a meta post

8:49 AM

@Wen1now use this: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/59120/codenames?tab=stars

that's broken. Yes

How come I couldn't find that?

Yeah

We can @JanDvorak

And we'll need an extra turn anyways...

[PASS]

8:50 AM

user image

How do I have two stars...?

Because 2 people want you to make a really good clue now

@boboquack who's the other guesser in your team?

Sid

Smallest, 2

8:51 AM

he's gone

We should probably warm up the spyfall and contact rooms soonish, BTW

5 mins ago, by Sid

Okay, I am off for lunch. All on you, @bobo

@JanDvorak Why?

@manshu Oh

Is it seven days after last activity when it gets frozen?

what is spyfall?

8:52 AM

Oh, warm up

Haha... warm up vs frozen

that's 15 days of inactivity

Why am I always slow on the uptake

We can hop into one of those after this game

I vote spyfall

I'm in..

But..let's finish this one

8:54 AM

can do

yeah. I have never played spyfall.

I'm in if I'm still up

Spyfall is actually really really fun

I would recommend ~5 players though

And really really infuriating if done wrong

I'm up for spyfall

8:55 AM

Haha most people here have a normalish sleep pattern

Then you see ffao's unbelievably even chat record

Are we still playing?

Fun times when a non-spy says something that ought to be obvious to other non-spies and confusing to the spy, but it has the exact effect and wins the spy a game.

Yes

No. We are starring.

Oh, didn't see your clue :P

CELL

blue

8:58 AM

Hmm...

knight and smallest

!board

user image

Well, UNICORN for knight? (that's a guess)

I think Beijing is the smallest city in China

oh yeah, definitely

Name one that is smaller :-D

8:59 AM

Hello?

Value of pie is also small..

Hi

@JanDvorak Xi'an

@Wen1now UNICORN?

Never heard of that one :-D

Hey, I think I come from there

What, ask me?
