woot. seeya @dcfyj

GentlePurpleRain

Clues have to be semantic, correct? You can't give any clues based on the appearance or content of the word itself?

That's correct.

correct

There have been some attempts to codify spelling clues, but they didn't seem to have caught on?

Blue: NICOVIDEO, 2

8:01 PM

TUBE?

I don't know what nicovideo is

^

It's japanese video, so

tokyo and I guess tube

Nico's that girl from the Broken Sword series

Any objection?

going once, ...

there are lot's of Nico's

8:03 PM

twice ...

no objection

TOKYO

GentlePurpleRain

blue

Nico-la tesla?

TUBE

lol

GentlePurpleRain

8:03 PM

blue again

[PASSING]

hey coder

GentlePurpleRain

PLANET (2)

8:04 PM

wanna join blue?

hi, team for me? :)

sure

!joinblue thecoder16

BLUE: Deusovi, Rubio, thecoder16

woah, the bot really got a update

Jupiter + mercury

8:04 PM

@JanDvorak oh wait, you're not on my team...

JUPITER

GentlePurpleRain

red

Definitely Jupiter/Mercury

MERCURY

GentlePurpleRain

red again

8:05 PM

[pass]

user image

whew. no pressure Deus. :)

(just a sec, coworker here)

Best case: easy win red

I looked away and missed it :)

8:06 PM

brb

I'm leaving

a coworker inside the desk again? oh darn it

seeya @KritixiLithos

cool, a flipcoin command lol

GentlePurpleRain

Does it just give you a random answer out of two?

Demonstrate.

8:08 PM

!flipcoin

Blue

lol

yup, red and blue

!help

coworker has now left

GentlePurpleRain

8:08 PM

Does it take parameters?

no

FR @ffao

GentlePurpleRain

!flipcoin heads tails

im debating whether to consult a dictionary when adding a !giveclue command

or have shiro give clues like erwef, 5 for the lolz

Shiro could clue in with regexes :p

8:09 PM

hah

Blue: POROUS, 2

porous ?!

...interesting

That is the clue, yes

@thecoder16 any idea here?

8:13 PM

uhh? rocks?

I have two ideas :-P

best i got

Maybe three

four, even

it does seem like it might be hard to link olive and pheonix

!join

8:15 PM

Seems like team blue is lost

Hi ffao, you'll be joining team red!

RED: GentlePurpleRain, Cat, Jan, Sconibulus, ffao

red?

I thought blue was understaffed

!join

Shiro doesn't think so

It's your code :-P

8:15 PM

Well, scon isn't here anyway

Oh nvm

I'm not?

Is there a "remove" command? Cuz Shiro thinks there's two more on Blue than listed

Shiro definitely hates me.

I thought you said you were leaving

No, you're not :P

GentlePurpleRain

8:16 PM

!joinblue manshu

BLUE: Deusovi,Rubio, thecoder16, manshu

@Rubio it's !leave

ah

I thought I couldn't play because the board was posting to imgur

takes argument?

!leave Kritixi

8:16 PM

BLUE: Deusovi, dcfyj, Rubio, thecoder16, manshu

!leave dcfyj

BLUE: Deusovi, Rubio, thecoder16, manshu

guess so

but it was only sometimes, so I can keep track

ok so - blue

8:17 PM

Cool updates.

we have "POROUS (2)"

rock?

Angels are hole-y

Is that a spelling clue?

Rocks are porous, or at least some are

A witch would have pores

8:18 PM

I think Deusovi is just saying "poor us" because you're so far behind :)

A contract might be full of holes

LOL

how can a witch have pores :/

A witch is still a person, innit?

You don't think Hermione Granger has pores in her skin?

8:19 PM

Witches are made of wood, it's why you can build bridges out of them

Anyway

No. She looks perfect :p

Hermione is a sorceress, though, not a witch :P

I like none of those very much in any case

but we need to go before the universe suffers its heat death, so

GentlePurpleRain

@JanDvorak She's referred to as a witch in the books...

8:19 PM

Who likes what for this clue?

I didn't read the books :P

i like rock.

@GentlePurpleRain True, but you probably shouldn't be saying that

"Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry"

@Rubio eh, it doesn't really help either team

GentlePurpleRain

8:20 PM

@Rubio Because whether Hermione is a witch or a sorceress will help you solve this clue? :)

"Hogwarts School for Porous and Holey"

ROCK

(still agreed)

Blue.

GentlePurpleRain

blue

8:21 PM

what about plate?

Depends on the plate. Most aren't particularly porous

agreed

plate armor can be porous once I'm done with it with my AK47

besides "rigid" would have clued plate and rock easier methinks

stars can be like pores in the sky

8:23 PM

I like that analogy

I think Deus just got screwed on this board, but who knows

i honestly have no clue

I'm gonna do ANGEL unless someone thinks I shouldn't.

It's that or pass

and we likely lose anyway

28% chance of guessing blue by pure luck

he could just say "holey" for that

8:24 PM

What then

any other clue left?

olive? they're pitted, they have a huge hole?

book spines are made of porous leather

welp. I got nothing. Someone pick a word, or pass.

let's pass

8:26 PM

not even a blind guess?

yolo. gonna do olive because why not.

sure :D

OLIVE

GentlePurpleRain

OLIVE is yellow.

Neutral.

8:27 PM

phew

!board

GentlePurpleRain

HAND-HELD (2)

user image

olive is green though :/

fan, torch?

8:28 PM

Ok I have 1 minute

Let's get this right

I see a few hand-held things

^

whip is weaker

torch would be my #1

Fan and torch seem to be the strongest

Fan and Torch and Whip and Contract?

8:28 PM

fan and torch are called as such, aren't they?

all whips are hand-held

never heard of hand-held contracts even though you hold them in a hand

Cell phones are/were called hand-helds I think

hand-held fan as opposed to desk fan

and those have contracts

but it is a degree of separation

kinda

@Sconibulus you're supposed to be on our side ;-)

Ok well I have to go, my bets on fan and torch but my opnion may not matter anymore

GL

8:30 PM

I'm not even saying anything, @scon is doing fine kibbitzing without me ;)

seeya @Cat

FAN

hand fans pretty much always work terribly, so I don't like them much :)

Blue!

GentlePurpleRain

blue

:(

wow

8:30 PM

Blue: BOOK, 1

drat

ahh!

nice.

!board

spine?

8:31 PM

SPINE

Blue.

has to be

Would GPR mean Flame or Flashlight with Torch?

double drat

I don't remember what Canadialand says :)

8:31 PM

ah, that was lucky

Torch was my #2

!board

user image

torch was my #1, because all interpretations of it are handheld

close game buddy.

GentlePurpleRain

8:32 PM

Why didn't Shiro mark SPINE?

GPR could have looked at "fan" and went like, "oh desk fans"

wanna guess for porous?

so one "porous" to go

yeah, I liked torch more than fan from the beginning

GentlePurpleRain

brb

8:32 PM

It'll be next, unless our SM overrides it with a clue

torch and contract were my top two I think

I don't like contract. I'd prefer whip.

random thought: i feel like we are adding more and more to the bot and becoming extremely lazy in this room lol

We should pass. We can use that guess next time anyway.

@thecoder16 That's a good thing.

8:33 PM

so - plate, angel, or witch seem like the only things left that might possibly be porous

GentlePurpleRain

back

we cannot pass

GPR will just clue "hand-held (2)" again and they win

we can guess only one thing. We can't win at this chance

we only have one to go

!board

oh

8:34 PM

user image

let's do angel then.

i say star

You can help your SM by stabbing the assassin :p

star is one I wouldn't even consider, personally

No one stabs the assassin. The assassin stabs you.

8:35 PM

why?

What about a star evokes "porous" ?

they are kinda holes in the sky

what about witch and angel?

no. they're not.

they seem rather off

angels are Hole-y

8:36 PM

Witches, again, have pores. Angels are, well, holy.

i can go with angle though

angel

The other words are ruled out

ANGEL

yo freaking lo

BLUE!

GentlePurpleRain

:(

Yay

8:36 PM

HOLY SHIT

WAT

I thought GPR had that one in the bag

GentlePurpleRain

Me too!

And that's a deliciously terrible holy clue

I was pretty sure it was plate

8:36 PM

YASSSS

for future reference, GPR: WHIP+TORCH = INDIANA JONES

i can't believe puns actually worked

@Rubio Oh, SPINE was the other porous one.

(Osteoporosis, anyone?)

wat??

Bah.

GentlePurpleRain

8:37 PM

@Deusovi Thanks. I was having a lot of trouble with that one.

(Bones are porous.)

That's actually worse :)

(Sort of.)

Yeah they are, ish

GentlePurpleRain

I though it was funny when someone mentioned that leather book spines could be porous, but never considered bone...

8:37 PM

on molecular level, everything is porous.

You just nearly guessed ANGEL and I realized I could get you to guess it again

well, holes are not well defined at the molecular level

oh, indiana jones would have been really good

since it';s basically specks in space

GentlePurpleRain

By the way, red team: Torches and whips are always hand-held, fans are only sometimes hand-held.

8:38 PM

also, STAR was the assassin

I would go for whip + torch for handheld too, but my team had other (reasonable) ideas

hah!

don't listent o me ever

@thecoder16 in semiconductors, they are defined with that name

I had ROCK and FAN and couldn't clue STAR

8:38 PM

@GentlePurpleRain I thought of what would go well with "hand-held x"

GentlePurpleRain

Yeah, when they started saying STAR, I was crossing my fingers...

that was an awful grid for me

!finalboard

@GentlePurpleRain not everyone, just me :P

my plan was to convince them to guess torch first, then whip later, but Jan guessed too fast :(

8:39 PM

16 mins ago, by Rubio

I think Deus just got screwed on this board, but who knows

^

I DID

honestly, after that perfect IMPERIAL clue I was considering a forfeit

user image

hahahaa

Anyway. Next game?

what was the impreial clue?

8:40 PM

Shiro's being really slow

that clue was awesome. I applaud you GPR

QUEEN+ROME+ENGLAND+YARD

ah

yeah, wonderful clue

i've never clued more than 3 before

8:41 PM

it's puush's fault

but wow, that game was intense

notice the last image came from imgur

thankfully at least this time she has a fallback so the image eventually comes through

it did.

if it were SPINE+PLATE I would've said DISK

I'm volunteering to provide my IP address and bandwidth

8:41 PM

lemme track you, cool

put up a REST service the bot can post an image to and done. :)

I'd rather host the bot fully

... or whitelist FFAO's IP

I don't know if my IP address is fixed, but there should be other forms of authentication if you want to go that route

simplest one would be to send me a password privately

oooh, are we about to witness a Key Exchange!

Why not let me host the bot fully?

8:44 PM

trust

well, you can, the whole code is available

But if you want me to create an image hosting service ... I'll ping you when it's done

would be a great experience for me.

(in configuring a VM, too, in case I screw up)

Shiro's git repo was posted earlier I think, really the only thing stopping you would be making a sock that can chat

I guess I'd create a new account for Shiro if I were to host her?

you know what would be interesting

a new hosting website relying on all the existing sites

8:46 PM

given Jan's rep in SO, I guess he can earn 20 rep pretty quickly

I'd farm on PPCG :D

so yeah, create a new sock if you want to host it

we're having a male bot? REVOLUTION! :P

OK. Bot name?

Shijanro?

Shiro-man?

8:48 PM

Shijanro would take Shiro's face and stuck an owl on it :P

> For discussing bots that help play Codenames but not actually playing, apparently.

OrigamiRobot :)

^^ see, it's the truth

OKOK, we'll play

name it Len

8:48 PM

I am surprised to find you here and not in Contact, did you overrule the purple one?

and rename Shiro to Rin

nah, better to name the other bot Sora

he

do you really need to star the room topic?

very true

8:49 PM

it's like... super-pinned

I have no idea what series the name's from

@Sconibulus lazy

@JanDvorak that should be obvious, after all, we spend all time playing games... :P

GentlePurpleRain

@n_palum I was overruled. And then started off awesomely SMing, and then failed miserably and lost.

No-one ever reads the room description :p

anyone wanting to actually play? :P

8:49 PM

o/

no game. no life.

@GentlePurpleRain Awh D:

GentlePurpleRain

I could do one more.

o/

\o

8:50 PM

but then again I have a contingency for if we don't play

GentlePurpleRain

o/

I need a break from SMing after I exploded after the last game :P

i can sm i want to try again

coder v. ?

coder v. coder

GentlePurpleRain

8:51 PM

No one? Really?

OK...

@thecoder16 That would be great.

GentlePurpleRain

coder vs. Jan. FIGHT!

In a pinch...

GentlePurpleRain

she's probably struggling with puush again...

8:53 PM

user image

Hi ffao, you'll be joining team blue!

BLUE: thecoder16, manshu, ffao

GentlePurpleRain

I guess I don't have to consult with anyone...

!join

Hi Rubio, you'll be joining team red!

RED: Jan Dvorak, GentlePurpleRain, Rubio

Now ya do :)

GentlePurpleRain

Does Shiro auto-unpin old teams, or is someone else doing that?

Is a clue forthcoming?

8:57 PM

It's @thecoder16's turn

i'm thinking

I believe she unpins if there hasn't been a restart

basically any time she says something that starts with RED or BLUE it replaces the last pin for that color with the new one

GentlePurpleRain

How does she have the power to unpin? Oh, she's an RO!

TRANSPORTATION, 3

she tries to pin too, but she runs out of pins quite quickly

8:58 PM

trip?

jet?

van?

agent?

smuggler?

hey, I ride a unicorn everywhere. YMMV

@ffao what do you say?

I can go with van/jet

the third one is fuzzier

jet and van seems right

GentlePurpleRain

SMUGGLERs require transportation.

8:59 PM

VAN
