Codenames

I think by the end I had it down to either FILE, LASER or BOARD (this was well after we passed and Blue was on their final (3)), just by things far from STADIUM and somewhat close to LETTER

Techidiot

I was going to clue - > Horsepower(for battery and centaur) But, was not sure if you all might get Cycle using Climbing clue..

Gareth McCaughan

I think I'm out now; need to get some work done.

n_palum

Idk why you all insisted on continuing with olympics after getting stadium...

Jan Dvorak

2:40 PM

@GarethMcCaughan I was suggesting the last clue

Gareth McCaughan

@JanDvorak Oh, sure. I think there are dozens of decent clues to get FILE at the end.

n_palum

ALSO AIRPORT! AND YOU GUESSED FLUTE!?

I was losing my mind...

Gareth McCaughan

AIRPORT wasn't in the grid. PORT was. A port has nothing to do with air.

Jan Dvorak

I was wondering why they dropped port

Gareth McCaughan

A flute is a musical instrument played by blowing air through it.

The only reason PORT was in consideration at all was that we'd had PLANE in the same turn.

Techidiot

2:42 PM

Also, @n_palum How can I be excited if they were guessing incorrect words? :p

Sp3000

Wanting to guess after Olympics was because we had a clue left and from our perspective there's a possibility of blue getting (3)

Techidiot

They were nowhere close to Battery :p

Jan Dvorak

Air+port seems like a very strong clue

n_palum

@Techidiot Yeah I know, sorry, was a little picky :P

Deusovi

I expected BOOT to be the assassin, by the way

Techidiot

2:42 PM

Yeah. I understand :) @n_palum All good.

n_palum

Laser was :P Not sure why they did shoe 0

Jan Dvorak

!finalboard

Shiro

Sp3000

Shoe (0) seemed like a waste for something that wasn't the assassin tbh

Gareth McCaughan

@Deusovi yeah, me too. But I guess I understand why Techidiot was so keen to block it -- they were probably about to guess it first.

n_palum

2:43 PM

@JanDvorak Thank you! At least someone gets it... If I saw air and port was on the board, it'd by my first guess

Sp3000

At the very worst, you could clue a strong (1) and they'd guess BOOT as second neutral

Techidiot

@Deusovi That clue was to keep you away from the neutral. Because, the first thing you all were going to go was BOOT for climbing. And, may be I overlooked it when cluing CLIMB

Sconibulus

...plane was also on the board :)

Jan Dvorak

Or at least insist my team doesn't drop it

Sconibulus

how do you guess Port before Plane

n_palum

2:44 PM

@Sconibulus Yeah I expected both plane and port to go first, either order

Jan Dvorak

@Techidiot correct + neutral is a better outcome than stalling

n_palum

Then hoped for missile but I did not think you'd pull flute in

Sconibulus

when port was suggested I thought there was like a 20-30% chance that missile was unclued and we'd just gotten lucky

Techidiot

Yeah. But, that moment was heavily calling for boot and didn't wanted to risk it. Anyways, I did learn something there. Thanks.

Jan Dvorak

BTW, who thinks light <-> cycle is a good clue?

Sp3000

2:45 PM

Nope

ffao

I don't

Deusovi

For a Tron reference? Depends on your audience

Sconibulus

no, you'd hit LASER for sure

Sp3000

(unless there's much less likely options)

manshu

bad clue

Techidiot

2:46 PM

Nope.

Deusovi

but LASER would definitely be hit

Jan Dvorak

I don't mean, with respect to the current board

n_palum

Okay my heart/brain need a rest.. not SM again...

manshu

I can sm

Jan Dvorak

@ffao wanna SM? :P

n_palum

2:47 PM

It's not even 8 AM their time, I don't imagine they want to :P

Jan Dvorak

It's always less than 24 hours past 8 AM :P

n_palum

rolls eyes through back of head

ffao

Yeah, half asleep still :p

Mike Q

But also half awake

manshu

half awake is always better than half asleep.
