RED: GentlePurpleRain, Mithrandir, quartata, John Dvorak
Suddenly everyone appears out of the woodwork!
talk about a teamstack
@GentlePurpleRain I saw [pass] in the sidebar
21:40
You didn't see my invitation in The Sphinx's Lounge?
no i was too busy eating a massive donut
Can't fault you for that... :)
I'm having an affogato myself.
nice
Blue: 300 (2)
Haven't seen that movie... crap.
21:42
tee hee
john needs to drink from the other side of a cup
There's a king, so GOLD, CROWN? Seems like there'd be better clues for that tho.
I haven't seen it either
Any ideas @zani?
looking at wikipedia
21:44
can't do that
can't do that
Ok then I won't talk
@ZaniXu That's... kinda illegal.
21:44
That's cheating
"kinda"
oh then tumbler all on you
whee, pile-on
Is it okay if I don't talk?
for this round
Sounds reasonable
21:45
I'd like to penalize blue team for intending to continue cheating
oh wait! PIT
PIT
pit is blue
PIT is blue
oh... i'm dumb.
Greece
GREECE
GREECE is blue
21:46
[pass]
good job
Red: Vehicle (3)
Sorry for the heart attack Joey. XD good clue.
helicopter, limousine, ...crash?
works for me
21:48
Maybe jack 4th
+3
HELICOPTER
LIMOUSINE
21:48
Both red
In this case it doesn't matter.
LIMOUSINE
No need to undo if both connect
I think CRASH makes the most sense for the third
21:49
aye
go for it
CRASH
CRASH is red
[PASS]
21:50
Blue: Conquistadore (2)
what does that mean
Tubmler?
@Tumbler41
I think it's usually spelled without the E on the end, if that helps.
lets see what it sounds like
shush, sm :P
21:52
Tumbler?
are you there?
It's a spanish... um duler? lol I don't know how to decscribe it.
wait.. doesn't it mean like take over or something?
if its spanish should we do aztec?
I don't know what the literal translation is.
I must applaud the blue SM for this clue ... even if it fell on deaf ears
probably yeah, that's seems good.
21:53
@JohnDvorak yeah it's pretty slick I'd say...
so aztec?
AZTEC
AZTEC is blue
what else is spanish
quite possibly gold.
21:54
or maybe it is crown because it is for conquer?
maybe shot, too
Tumbler what do you think
Of those three I like gold the best.
ok then
gold
GOLD is blue
GOLD is blue
21:56
cool
[PASS]
wanna pass or guess another word?
ok then
We've guessed everything. What's there to guess?
auch ein blindes huhn...
Random guess, because you're behind?
21:57
I guess. sorry
all right GPR this better be a good clue
(poke me when it's posted please)
will do
Red: Downhill (2)
@Mith
Poke poke
22:03
re-surfaces from dark spammy corners of the internet
ugh...
...well.
BACK?
got nothing better
22:05
@Mithrandir beats me
this feels like it should really be obvious
well, if we're going by guts, LIFE and BACK
wait wait
Life+back would be clued as ressurection
@JohnDvorak could be interfered with by DOCTOR or SHOT
22:07
necromancer then?
think LONDON could be connected in any way?
Well.
Let's go the other way.
Is there anything we can rule out?
SHOT - after that, your life definitely goes downhill.
chocolate, ninja, jack
feels like we can rule out everything :P
back as a word makes the most sense
because both are an orientation
22:10
agreed with back
but what's the second?
Back, life each seem good :-(
NINJA, CHOCOLATE, SERVER, HAM, SUIT, CROWN, DOCTOR, SNOWMAN, JACK, can IMO be ruled out.
let me put this way: it's obvious from the SM's perspective that BACK could be thought of in the context of downhill
do back + life and see which one is wrong?
22:11
do back first
BACK is blue. :(
...
yay
Life then
skadoosh
22:12
SHOT, LIFE, CELL, LONDON are sorta plausible.
Blue: Death (3)
can someone show the board?
22:12
I think LIFE would be a good one, as it is the opposite of death? Maybe?
doctor, life, shot?
@Tumbler41 vanishes in a flash of light
sure
@Tumbler41 Yes, do those
wait did tumbler actually vanish?
SHOT
no?
SHOT is blue
22:14
SHOT is blue
DOCTOR
DOCTOR is yellow
DOCTOR is yellow
Awww
dangit!
ninja?
22:14
ok
I guess we live
maybe
!board
Red: Waiter (∞)
server
then twice downhill?
22:18
uhhhh
snowman?
I don't even know
snowmen go on hills
OK
SERVER
SERVER is red
don't actually do snowman
good so far
life could still be ours
I extremely doubt it
what here could be about a race? race to the bottom?
22:21
life going downhill is a common-ish phrase
I know but why clue death? it's so weird?
snowman actually makes sense because of how you make them
Hi, dooog. You joining?
I think that London isn't downhill of much?
I mean it has hills if that's what you mean
I don't know I haven't been there in a long time
22:22
true
I can go the next game, looks like this one's almost over
Greenwich Observatory is uphill I believe
Do we like London?
not really
I'd like to guess life
there being no objection...
LIFE
LIFE is blue.
22:25
Life is blue
Blue: Japan (1)
!board
NINJA
22:25
NINJA is blue
GG
ok thne
Sorry, guys.
That was an abysmal clue. Totally not your fault
22:26
i need to see the final board here
Sorry Zani, thought it was pretty obvious
GOLD SHOT BACK PIT NINJA LIFE GREECE AZTEC
Assassin LONDON

nothing really obvious

red goes Baseball(3) for BAT GAME and CAP

300 for GREECE and PIT should be good.

And Tumbl didn't saw the movie.
And Zani too ...

and they managed to found it, good :D

maybe Conquistadore for AZTEC and GOLD

red goes Vehicle (3) for HELICOPTER LIMOUSINE and CRASH. not going well for me
only solace is that LONDON is really in the way of CROWN.

let's hope they have a little bit of history knowledge now.

and Zani doesn't know. damn it.
!finalboard
jack and crown
what does it mean
22:26
BAT GAME CAP JACK LIMOUSINE SERVER HELICOPTER CRASH CROWN

This looks like a relatively easy one.

I can start off right away with BASEBALL for BAT GAME CAP.
Possible FP on PIT, but it seems less apropos.

And Mith gets them all, right off the bat (pun intended).

----------------------------
300 for blue.
I've never seen the movie either, but I know it involves GREECE and a PIT!
NO, Zani! You can't look things up on Wikipedia!

And Tumbler figures it out. Good work!

----------------------------
....OH
dude
And you didn't clue "Jill"???
...
Somehow didn't think of that one...
Don't even need that
I would have gotten it if you had clued BUCKET
or pail or whatever it is in the original
22:28
You mean PAIL?
yeah
downhill just doesn't work it's too abstract
I wasn't sure what words would evoke the rhyme, but I definitely picked the wrong ones.
although on paper it sounds good...
Totally not your fault.
what's that nursery rhyme?
22:30
I know it's about some unusual hydrology
Heh, I would have been very confused if you clued TUMBLER. XD
Jack and Jill when up a hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
and Jill came tumbling after.
g2g. Twas fun gents.
22:31
0/
Jack got up, and said to Jill
As in his arms he caught her,
"Brush off that dirt, for you're not hurt.
Now let's go get that water."
yeah was fun and good job finding the right words with my first two clue :)
so Jill would have certainly succeeded
What I'm wondering, is why was the water at the top of a hill? It seems like an unusual place for a well (wouldn't you dig a well in a low spot?)
22:34
I always have this image of a well on top of a hill
That's what was all about that joke!
@JohnDvorak And now I understand your previous comment...
gotta go
