Should we ping?

quartata

Hi

Mithrandir

@GentlePurpleRain that reminds me... does someone (cough @ffao *cough) want to take a poke at Shiro and split the ping into groups of ten pings per message?

@John here?

ffao

@Mithrandir I heard this Mithrandir guy made changes to the code before

GentlePurpleRain

@quartata Are you interested in playing?

quartata

Yes

John Dvorak

8:12 PM

here

Mithrandir

@ffao this Mithrandir person just copied an existing command and has no actual idea what they're doing

GentlePurpleRain

@ffao I'd be happy to try modifying Shiro, but I haven't been able to get her/Python/something working correctly on my machine, so I can't really test any changes.

@quart @John waves?

@Zani still here?

8:14 PM

testing is overrated

Mithrandir

me and GPR SM, hoping my internet stays working?

GentlePurpleRain

ok

.

Eye like this.

!board

Shiro

Mithrandir

8:28 PM

...

quartata

can't honestly say you didn't see that coming

In fact I'm not even sure what the third is

Zani Xu

I think it was air

quartata

Light as air? Guess that makes sense

So SCALE? I dunno

John Dvorak

Air is actually pretty heavy

quartata

Eye made more sense to me :P

@JohnDvorak yeah...

Zani Xu

8:30 PM

I have 2 other words but not saying

yet

GentlePurpleRain

Blue: Meringue (2)

John Dvorak

... I don't know what that is.

:(

:)

Do I have to guess?

8:31 PM

I think you're allowed to just pass, if that's what you want to do.

Mithrandir

Yes.

I think you're required to make at least one guess.

LEMON

LEMON is blue.

[PASS]

8:33 PM

Ok so I guess air, parachute

Zani Xu

or maybe scale

quartata

I would have done sound

Cause that needs air...

Zani Xu

nah

quartata

all those songs talking about "the airwaves",, were not metaphoriacl

GentlePurpleRain

According to the official Codenames rulebook (of the actual board game): "The field operatives must always make at least one guess. " (emphasis mine)

John Dvorak

8:37 PM

Anyways... @mith to give a clue

quartata

Hmm, or maybe "seagull"

Or "damping" -- parachute, air and wave as in water = drag

Mithrandir

(thinking)

quartata

(plus damping oscillation for wave too.)

Anywho

Mr. Xcoder

Hi, I've never played before but I've just read the rules and it seems super fun. I have 2 questions though: After a clue is given, any member of the team can guess or just a particular user? If I want to join, should I better wait until we start a new round or should I run the command now?

GentlePurpleRain

You can join now.

Zani Xu

8:41 PM

any member of the team

Mr. Xcoder

!join

Shiro

Hi Mr. Xcoder, you'll be joining team blue!

GentlePurpleRain

The team discusses the guesses, and comes to a consensus, then any team member makes the official guess.

Shiro

BLUE: GentlePurpleRain, John Dvorak, Mr. Xcoder

Mr. Xcoder

Ok, thx

GentlePurpleRain

8:42 PM

You will not make your team happy if you guess right away without discussing.

Mr. Xcoder

Sure, I won't

Mithrandir

Red: luggage (2)

Zani Xu

hmmm

antartica?

scale maybe?

quartata

tag, luggage tags

Zani Xu

quart are you there?

ninja

hmm

its only 2 though

scale > tag > antartica?

quartata

8:44 PM

let's guess tag and air and then think about it

Zani Xu

ok

tag

TAG is red.

TAG is red

air

AIR is red.

8:44 PM

AIR is red

Zani Xu

ok,

quartata

mkay

Zani Xu

we should do another guess

quartata

agent is a possibility

GentlePurpleRain

Does Shiro accept lowercase guesses?

Mithrandir

8:44 PM

yes

Zani Xu

I would say scale, it fits for both luggage and light

quartata

I'll be willing to discard parachute, since I think if the clue was tag, parachute then he'd do army (dog tags)

Scale does fit both

John Dvorak

@Mr.Xcoder Do you happen to know what a Meringue might be?

2

Zani Xu

so scale?

quartata

Sure try it

Zani Xu

8:46 PM

Scale

SCALE is red

SCALE is red.

All right.

!board

I'm not on the whitelist :|

GentlePurpleRain

Shiro

8:47 PM

Mr. Xcoder

@JohnDvorak I know it's some kind of Swiss/French cookie or something

quartata

noooooo

John Dvorak

ah, thanks

does it contain mint?

quartata

it can, actually

GentlePurpleRain

Blue: Hot dog (2)

John Dvorak

8:48 PM

does it typically?

Mr. Xcoder

At least those that are sold here in Eastern Europe don't

John Dvorak

As for hot dog ... round spike? Strange clue for the pair, but that's what I see.

Mr. Xcoder

It's like marshmallow

John Dvorak

Then Mint, Cook are my best guesses for Meringue

Mr. Xcoder

I'd guess Cook first

John Dvorak

8:50 PM

COOK

COOK is blue.

COOK is blue

Round next?

I would say agent

ROUND

8:51 PM

~~Perhaps round~~ ninja'd

Mithrandir

ROUND is yellow.

GentlePurpleRain

!board

John Dvorak

Ah, that solves our conundrum what to guess for the other hot dog

Shiro

Mr. Xcoder

When we guess a neutral word it's the other team's turn?

John Dvorak

8:52 PM

yes

Mithrandir

Red: Narwhal (2)

Zani Xu

uhhh

Tooth?

GentlePurpleRain

Yes. As soon as you guess anything that isn't your colour, your turn is over.

Zani Xu

Cap?

quartata

Spike

dooog

8:52 PM

omg

Zani Xu

oh

spike > cap > tooth?

GentlePurpleRain

brb

Zani Xu

quart?

@qua

uh I guess I'll do it myself then

spike

Mithrandir

SPIKE is... yellow.

Zani Xu

...

John Dvorak

8:55 PM

What.

>.<

!board

What did you di

just a minute

8:56 PM

I go afk for one minute

Zani Xu

sorry

John Dvorak

@quartata he went with your advice and blew it

quartata

I threw spike out as a possibility...

Zani Xu

well you weren't there and I thought it was a good possibility

dooog

spike definitely would've been my first choice

quartata

8:58 PM

FWIW @Mith if you were cluing ANTARCTICA narwhals don't live there

John Dvorak

I think I know what was intended

GentlePurpleRain

back

John Dvorak

blue turn

quartata

@JohnDvorak Antarctica, tooth?

John Dvorak

Won't tell

dooog

8:59 PM

wouldn't you go walrus for that then?

GentlePurpleRain

I can use a word on the board in a clue if it's already been guessed, right?
