Codenames

loch ness is technically a lake but i admit i screwed up with that.. should have said 3 if i wanted to rule it out so giant and loch ness could both not be picked

John Dvorak

Actually, spiders are arthropods but not insects

Jesse

but IDK why on earth you would choose it first

ffao

I mean, I don't want a game of codenames in which you're forced to mute the opposing team to have any chance of talking things out

dooog

3:30 AM

using the word beast implies a lot more than just an animal

ffao

I think I would have gone with loch ness too fwiw

0 '

things did get much more managable once I muted quartata

Jesse

bear and calf are the only literal beasts

quartata

...cmon

dooog

well if everybody only took words literally

this game would be totally different

quartata

3:31 AM

I don't appreciate that

Jesse

then you go for big and scary, so its 2/3 for shark, giant and loch ness

ffao

how is spider not a literal beast?

Jesse

an animal, especially a large or dangerous four-footed one.

John Dvorak

> Any animal other than a human; usually only applied to land vertebrates, especially large or dangerous four-footed ones.

Jesse

giant for large, shark for dangerous, i screwed up with loch ness

if you want to rule out shark fine, but then rule out loch ness too, which was the first choice

0 '

3:33 AM

spiders are more dangerours that sharsk

dooog

yes, that is the google definition, but coloquially beast means a lot more than a large four footed animal..

John Dvorak

but, you can't save yourself from a spider by elbowing one of their eyes

Jesse

which is why i used it for giant :D

which was a mistake because it then applied to loch ness kinda too

John Dvorak

Giants are humanoid

Jesse

yeah ok

quartata

3:34 AM

@0' can I just say it is absurd to single me out on this when we were all playing jokes on those last few clues

@JohnDvorak giants are not humanoid. they are too big.

giants are giants

Jesse

the other one was edge, i would have used point for stick and triangle but it was already a word. and sharp did not work so well, edge is a synonym for point so i went with that

John Dvorak

That's racist

0 '

@quartata well for what its worth, I found your jokes the most distracting

ffao

I didn't think of an edge as a point

that was a nice clue

quartata

pointy

Jesse

3:36 AM

xD

edgy

John Dvorak

Mathematically point != edge

quartata

hit with the edge vs hit with the point was how I interpreted it

What Wizard

both points and edges are bounties though

Jesse

yeah, box was rough if we started thinking mathematically

0 '

@JohnDvorak it depends on how you look at it

Jesse

3:37 AM

and looking at triangle probably led us to think that way

dooog

anyone want to play another game?

John Dvorak

yes

Jesse

im not up for SM, but yes

What Wizard

I want to, but I oughtnt so I shall

ffao

not SM, please, I've had enough heart attacks this game

What Wizard

3:39 AM

I can SM

Jesse

ahahah @ffao i was thinking the same

0 '

I to can SM

dooog

well we got our sm's right there

Jesse

I was so frustrated when they weren't thinking in the way I intended

John Dvorak

I pity the team who gets a WW SM

Jesse

3:39 AM

LARGE was supposed to rule out spider in favour of calf

ffao

the room tags are there for a reason :P

0 '

we should add filibustering

What Wizard

@JohnDvorak ;)

how do we start?

dooog

gotta strategically time the join so i dont get wizard

quartata

is there any particular format we need to use to clue?

What Wizard

no

Jesse

TEAM: clue, number

What Wizard

3:45 AM

you just need the infor

Jesse

i thought

What Wizard

it's not parsed by shiro iirc

Jesse

you sure?

i thought it had to read the number to know how many guesses teams were allowed

N+1

What Wizard

I don't think shiro keeps track of whose going

John Dvorak

FR

What Wizard

3:46 AM

plus I know you have to pass when you are out of clues

ffao

shiro only keeps track of the state of the board

Jesse

John Dvorak

John Dvorak

Jesse

Transportation Security Administration

John Dvorak

No research!

Jesse

ooh... well I would have not known what it is

i didnt see anything more than what it stands for and the icon

quartata

This acrually would not be too hard to make a bot to play

John Dvorak

Preparing food. Let me know if my input is needed.

quartata

3:51 AM

SM would be easier

Jesse

@MikeQ you happy if i guess police and pass?

Mike Q

jet and police seem obvious

Jesse

POLICE

quartata

maybe I'll try it sometime. wordnet would help

0 '

Jesse

dooog

3:57 AM

Jesse

ooh for TSA dog could be one too, do they have sniffer dogs?

John Dvorak

Might be a pistol after all, though beat is also nice

red velvet? :P

@Jesse sometimes

Oh sorry thats beat.

3:58 AM

dooog

i don't see any clues here that could fit velvet

quartata
