ThePuzzlingPlatypus

DJMcMayhem

caird coinheringaahing

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Type !leave

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

DJMcMayhem

BLUE: Avi, user58, caird coinheringaahing, Rubiksmoose

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

no, I want to satay

!join

Shiro

Hi ThePuzzlingPlatypus, you'll be joining team red!

caird coinheringaahing

We've only got one guess each left :P

Shiro

RED: PiIsNot3, DJMcMayhem, John Dvorak, ThePuzzlingPlatypus

John Dvorak

12:01 AM

Usually thermodynamic processes follow one of a small set of predefined sets of curves. It should be possible to get a three-step cycle with those, but I suppose they are pretty rare

caird coinheringaahing

It all comes down to this final guess

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

just let me brush and shower

and i'll join next

PiIsNot3

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus You joined the wrong team

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

doesn't matter

John Dvorak

I vote for delta and brb

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

not playing yet

DJMcMayhem

All right, I guess we're going for it

Fourth SM job I believe? Playing against Avi who has TPP and 58 on their team, with El’endia and DJ on my team. And I just realized I forgot to capitalize the J in DJ’s name. Whoops, lemme fix that real quick…

Red: APPLE, SCIENTIST, FALL, FIRE, HAND, LAB, PIRATE, TRIANGLE
Blue: HORSESHOE, SHARK, YARD, BERLIN, RABBIT, DISEASE, STRAW, PIPE, TRUNK
Yellow: LIMOUSINE, HEART, SERVER, SOUL, TORCH, COPPER, SUB
Black: BERRY

Dvorak joins Red. Caird joins Blue.

Blue comes in hot with “ANIMAL (3)” while I still haven’t found my clues yet. Intended RABBIT, SHARK, and HORSESHOE, maybe TRUNK as well? L…

caird coinheringaahing

I've got to go (midnight here) \o

Avi

I’ll be honest the Sherlock Holmes clue is super tenuous however it’s probably the only one that covers yard and pipe and there is a slight connection to trunk although it may not be the best connection. I didn’t know that copper was slang for police. In any case, should be hard to link Triangle and fire unless the clue is Bermuda for maybe the Bermuda triangle or abstract for abstract concepts. Not sure the ? really had a bmeaning... anyways. Next clue should decide everything... rip

12:03 AM

@El'endiaStarman @DJMcMayhem @JohnDvorak Have none of you heard of MediaFire before?

DJMcMayhem

It's vaguely familiar when you say it? But I'm not sure

John Dvorak

Is that one of those "sponsored by" things that I always ignore?

PiIsNot3

mediafire.com

Avi

Yeah

PiIsNot3

It's a really popular place to put publically downloadable files and stuff like that

John Dvorak

12:05 AM

Ah, thanks

Avi

don’t you mean DropBox

John Dvorak

^

PiIsNot3

@JohnDvorak I don't think they've sponsored anything, but I'm not so sure

@Avi There's plenty of services like that, but the one I was thinking of was MediaFire

Rubiksmoose

Gg all

I'm out though

PiIsNot3

@Avi Yeah, "Sherlock Holmes" to TRUNK was pretty out of there. COPPER made much more sense

Avi

12:06 AM

Nobody actually remembers that mediafire exists except until after you bring it up

PiIsNot3

Good thing my last two clues were hard to clue together or else you could've blew it

John Dvorak

Volcano would have been a great clue

DJMcMayhem

Yeah, fire and not torch is really hard

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

brb

Avi

^

DJMcMayhem

12:07 AM

But thermodynamics was good too, that clued me away from torch

PiIsNot3

Do volcanoes have trunks? Can you call the shaft of a volcano a trunk?

That was what I was most worried about

Avi

no lol

PiIsNot3

@DJMcMayhem Thanks, I try my best :)

DJMcMayhem

@PiIsNot3 I'd think of it as the "base" or the "foot" of a mountain first

John Dvorak

no trunk

Avi

12:07 AM

heart of the volcano might’ve thrown them off track though

John Dvorak

true

PiIsNot3

@Avi That too

DJMcMayhem

I actually considered "volcano" when I was wondering if there was a good clue for "triangle" and "fire"

John Dvorak

especially after in medias corpus

(in the middle of a body)

Avi

IT’S EN MEDIA RES <3

John Dvorak

12:09 AM

mih

PiIsNot3

@JohnDvorak You guys got every single Yellow clue from "Media" except for TORCH

John Dvorak

yay \o/

DJMcMayhem

Lol

The third team is team yellow, if all yellow words are guessed, team yellow wins.

PiIsNot3

Could've squandered our early lead if "Newsletter" didn't go well

Avi

I just missed some connections like “hand” and “copper”

But, GG

PiIsNot3

12:12 AM

GG

Avi

We all make mistakes

PiIsNot3

I'm out for the day, thanks for the games!

\o

@Avi You're good, SMing is really hard and it's easy to make silly mistakes :)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I"m still here

o/

@Avi what was the last sherlock clue anyway

Avi

That’s what I’m asking myself right now...

For some reason I thought he kept his pipes/cocaine in a trunk

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I didn't read the books

Avi

12:21 AM

Would have to reread the books again to check though

PiIsNot3

@Avi There may have been a case involving a trunk with valuables in it, but I'm not sure

I know in the BBC drama there's an episode involving a woman who had a pink trunk

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I posted a cryptic clue in OmegaKrypton's chatroom

it might not be valid, but I think it's close

Is anyone even still here?

I'm up for one more game

Avi

Uhhh lemme check your guess

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

no, not a cccc

just a regular one

I don't know yours

Avi

I’m reading that as “getting synonym” + “hi(-s)” plus some Cody’s brother thing = anxiety medication

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

12:26 AM

the paying is important

it was supposed to be pro+zac(-k)

as in that old disney show

the butt thing was the k in zack

I told you, I wasn't sure if it was valid

Avi

Hmm, not sure - you’ll have to ask @Deusovi

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

seems not

El'endia Starman

12:51 AM

@PiIsNot3 Now that you mention it, yes. But that was very far from my mind. :P

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I wasn't sure anyone was still her

here

El'endia Starman

I'm on mobile so kinda.

user58

1:12 AM

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I mean, I shouldn't be, but I am.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

not enough for more games it looks like

but that's fine

bye guys, i'm practicing cryptic clue stuff

user58

\o

El'endia Starman

3:43 PM

O/

I'm finding that I like SMing more than being a player. Interesting.

user58

Same, actually. I generally only downgrade to 0/ or o/ when I can't maintain a constant presence, of have been SMing for a while and want a break.

El'endia Starman

Yeah, that's what I did yesterday. Taking notes while SMing is a fair drain and I didn't want to do that twice in a row (and I didn't have time for it either).

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

3:59 PM

o/

Now to do something else while we wait for more people to show up

Keep me pinged for the game

John Dvorak

4:15 PM

0/

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

now we have enough people it looks like

to start, and then maybe more will show up

That's what always happens

El'endia Starman

Well, we don't know if @user58 wants to play.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

good point

actually 0/

I'm willing to give SMing a try if I have to

El'endia Starman

Maybe it'll be your turn to get a heart attack when I randomly mention the assassin at the start of the game! :P

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I'm still trying to figure out how Avi was right about bugle last night

There was no way of knowing that when they guessed the clue

Sorry I abandoned the game, I wanted to do something else

El'endia Starman

4:22 PM

I'm pretty sure that was entirely random.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

But I'm up for a game now because it's not even 11:30 AM here yet

El'endia Starman

Did you see my logs for that game?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

no, I'll look later

maybe I did

skimimed

that was the one where Avi was obsessed with BACK which was the assassin, right?

El'endia Starman

Later in the game, yeah lol.

> Outlandish connections, still red words. How is this possible.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Usually to see luck that extreme, you have to watch chuggaaconroy play mario party

El'endia Starman

4:26 PM

And from user58's log:

> ...???? What is Avi doing? Bugle is red, but ????

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I saw that

user58

That was... a weird game.

Can't play at the moment, sorry.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

ok

I can wait

El'endia Starman

No problem. I'll have to leave somewhere in the vicinity of 1pm-2pm here (it's currently 11:30am), but I could play/SM late tonight.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

east coast us too, huh @El'endiaStarman?
