:P darn

ffao

bingo denied for both teams

Jesse

the last 2 of ours were bill and plate

ffao

evil board

micsthepick

good game

Jesse

i thought cook was blue

:D

so i was biding my time

micsthepick

05:00

Conduct (2) - code and court perhaps
there must be some way of linking witch with leprechaun without also getting pheonix
humanoids (3) - cast, witch, leprechaun?
That seems nice, but is it too good to be true?
perhaps server could be a (minor - as it is yellow) hitch for that one

remaining - olive, calf, microscope

oh wow red really does have sucky words.
okay, that's a big clue, hope it goes well for you...
ha, bugle! (well, at least it's just yellow)

okay, my turn, conduct or humanoids, or somthing else?

Jesse

ill explain my guesses. it was very frustrating

colonial and tribal (3) were both for mexico, amazon and copper

aztec was mexico and copper once you guessed amazon

date was supposed to be like taking someone on a date

micsthepick

generally, double cluing is seen as bad strategy in this game

Jesse

since i had 3

there was no common theme for the time date

bill, plate and hotel was for date

ffao

I don't see what the connection is between colonial and either of those

I would have guessed server for date too, I think

John Dvorak

o/

Jesse

05:02

colonial. as in civilization when it was just in groups of colonies

micsthepick

0/

Jesse

the colonial era

ffao

hmm, I see

wouldn't get that, but it makes sense

Jesse

same with tribal

Sid

I think Court would still have been my first guess.

ffao

05:03

court fits really well, yeah

Jesse

for date? uhh

but nothing else goes with it >_>

micsthepick

(generally speaking, if a clue didn't work, trying the same clue with a synonym probably also won't work)

Jesse

you have to guess about my line of thinking for the whole guess

ffao

it's not that the actual solutions don't fit, it's that the alternatives are also good

court = woo is related to taking someone on a date

it's basically what you want to do

Jesse

if you thought it was about taking someone on a date and wooing them why wouldnt you guess bill and hotel though?

court is more of a saying

same with code for tribal

both off handed sayings that i did not intend :D

ffao

05:05

I would guess bill and hotel, I would just guess court too :P

micsthepick

!finalboard

Shiro

Jesse

i would have loved to say resteraunt for bill plate and hotel but olive and cook were too close

ManyPinkHats

Even without court, I don't get why bill plate and hotel go together but not server

Jesse

where does server come into it?

micsthepick

05:06

waiter/ress

Jesse

ooh

is that even a word?

ManyPinkHats

presumably this date is taking place at a restaurant?

Jesse

it is a word

yeah. i didnt think of it that way. in my eyes server and code were all completely unrelated xD

i was trying to steer away from technology :D

also, anything for hood and bill i could think of risked gas being chosen so i just couldnt do it :D

was quite tough :D

micsthepick

so, who here thinks that leprechauns are humans?

Jesse

i did get the unhuman guess you gave btw

there were 3 animals, and 2 kinda-humans

so by saying 2 unhuman you were going for the 2 kinda-humans

demihumans/unhumans/humanoids

ManyPinkHats

05:09

I think witches and leprechauns are closer to being human than phoenixes and slugs

ffao

come on, witches are totally humans

Jesse

thats not the point though :D

micsthepick

but leprechauns?

ManyPinkHats

I think using 'unhuman' to clue 'very much like a human' is not the greatest of ideas

Jesse

the point was to clue away from the actual animals :D

ManyPinkHats

05:10

I'll rephrase

Jesse

since there were 3. have to take the number into account

micsthepick

I guess I could have just done animal (3)?

Jesse

no

ManyPinkHats

no

Jesse

slug and phoenix were mine

micsthepick

05:11

oh duh

Jesse

saying unhuman, the guesser should think why you didnt just say animal or creature :D

micsthepick

but seriosly, @ffao do you think that leprechauns are human?

ffao

because humans are animals

ok, I'll give you leprechaun

Sid

anyone up for a new game?

ffao

I'm not backing on witch though

Jesse

05:12

ahah so you would have guessed all but what was intended ffao :D rough!

Sid

Witches are humans though...

Jesse

if it was just you that would have gone forever

Sid

It is just they are assumed to not be "normal humans"

micsthepick

okay, I will give you that

Jesse

i can maybe play again but i have to pop out for 5 minutes and can't be as active

so ill be a guesser if we have enough ;)

ffao

05:14

I can guess too

Jesse

ill pop out now while we are getting started

brb, will join if there is agame

micsthepick

It's been a while since I played zendo

and spyfall

ManyPinkHats

maybe but if I stop responding in the middle of the game then I've fallen asleep

Sid

Fine, I can SM, if required...

micsthepick

I can SM again

Sid

05:15

Sid

Okay. Use One-Time-Secret

micsthepick

05:20

doing so now

@Sid onetimesecret.com/secret/r61w6f7ttjdlcjlxlup6zxzem7obown

Sid

The Second one is definitely a valid word

micsthepick

blue: mark (3)

John Dvorak

a seal is a kind of a mark; cross seems good

note

@ffao thoughts?

This double set of team pins is a little confusing

ffao

I'm fine with those

ASCII-only

Shiro

!join

John Dvorak

05:29

Who's Red?

Shiro

Hi Jesse, you'll be joining team red!

Jesse

there we go

Shiro

RED: Sid, ManyPinkHats, ASCII-only

ffao

I guess I never implemented a leave for both teams

noo, now you're back on both again

!leave Jesse

Shiro

RED: Sid, ManyPinkHats, ASCII-only

Jesse

05:30

ffao i wasnt!

ManyPinkHats

okay our clue is radius; my guesses are center and line

Jesse

i was just red that time

ffao

you're in blue

look at the blue pin

Jesse

ooh i am

cool beans

sorry for distracting from your clue

ffao

oh right

Jesse

05:31

it was radius 2 for any lazy fellows

for red

John Dvorak

It was radius 2 for the whole red team :P

ManyPinkHats

is @ASCII-only still here, or should I just make my guesses?

ASCII-only

LINE, CENTER maybe?

ManyPinkHats

yeah those were the two I had, too

CENTER first, I think

ASCII-only

yeah, okay

ManyPinkHats

05:32

CENTER

Sid

Red.

micsthepick

red

ManyPinkHats

LINE

Sid

Also red.

micsthepick

red

ManyPinkHats

05:33

[pass]

Shiro

John Dvorak

for now my theory is cross and maybe seal

ffao

I still don't see much else

micsthepick

blue: espionage (3)

Jesse

so agent

embassy maybe, strike maybe, seal maybe

europe less maybe

i think agent is fairly obvious guess. all ok if i lock it?

AGENT

micsthepick

05:37

agent is blue

ffao

agent could be related to mark, if we're talking assassination missions

John Dvorak

I like seal now

Jesse

i was going away from seal

John Dvorak

oh. Retracting preference

Jesse

i like embassy, strike or mark? i can't see it on the board? best

John Dvorak

05:39

.MARK was the previous clue

Jesse

ooooh

yeah lets go strike

ffao

embassy is good to me

Jesse

for sure :D

embassy last

strike first

ffao

kay

John Dvorak

I was going for the opposite order but eh

Jesse

05:40

im not completely sold on embassy, but it seems strike is agreed

STRIKE

micsthepick

blue

Jesse

if they are for the same 3. mark could be more of an arm thing. but agent points towards embassy more

or seal

John Dvorak

Not a fan of ARM

Jesse

ahah yeah, no arm

but seal still sounds better for mark. embassy for both though

John Dvorak

We have two guesses left. Seal next?

ffao

05:42

I like both

John Dvorak

Your call

Jesse

ummmm

you wanted embassy, and it fits very nicely with agent

lets go that

EMBASSY

micsthepick

embassy is blue

Jesse

do we want to use guess?

John Dvorak

nice

seal next?

Jesse

05:43

im happy to go an additional seal. but no pressure

the guess was only 3

my vote is for the safe pass :P we can always do it later in a pinch

John Dvorak

I'm in favor of guessing unless you think espionage(3) means seal isn't ours.

ffao

we can do it to know

I'm a bit scared that this clue is the same as the previous clue, and those were our three marks

Jesse

yeah, it might be

John Dvorak

Perhaps Mics has a tight strategy

Jesse

actually no

mark is more of a cross, pole thing right?

John Dvorak

05:45

oh, yeah, CROSS

Jesse

cross for double cross :D

ahah idk

John Dvorak

go for cross

Jesse

ffao you like it?

cross that is

ffao

I like guessing for info in general better than passing

John Dvorak

CROSS

Jesse

05:47

you risky playerrr

micsthepick

cross is blue

Jesse

ayy

John Dvorak

red turn

Jesse

okay thats our turn up [PASS]
