BOW wouldn’t be much of a stretch from “Music” either

E.g. conductors take a bow at the end of a performance

El'endia Starman

I still think that OPERA is the more obvious connection and while STRIKE has potential, it maybe goes a bit far afield?

Hmm. Point on cluing with "Music".

Play STRIKE? We win or lose based on you. :P

PiIsNot3

I don’t really see JD as the type of SM to completely overlook an obvious connection, so yeah, I lean STRIKE over OPERA

OK, moment of truth then...

Playing STRIKE

STRIKE

Shiro

STRIKE is Blue
You are out of guesses. It is now Red's turn

Avi

9:02 PM

YES!!!

John Dvorak

PiIsNot3 = MVP

El'endia Starman

WOOOO

Avi

Violoncello is just another term for cello - no need to think about why it sounds like violin+cello. "pizzicato" is what it's called when you have to strike a note with your fingers.

THEATER, FIGURE, WELL, SOCK, COTTON, BRIDGE, SCHOOL, ICE CREAM, ORGAN

Assassin: KIWI

STRUCTURE (4) = THEATER WELL SCHOOL BRIDGE, ORGAN seems like an outside chance and OPERA is there as well. Nothing blue that I can see.

And User58 nails it right out of the gate. Will they follow through? Nailed it. Very nice

Could I be really lucky/cocky and give SOFT (4) for SOCK, COTTON, ICE CREAM, and ORGAN? hmmmm but CAT

Oh shoot and KIWI the fruit is also soft.

why must cats always screw things up with thier adorable antics?

PiIsNot3

I’M FINALLY RIGHT WOOOOOO

Avi

9:03 PM

oh my god

kiwi was the assassin

Rubiksmoose

That was an infuriatingly good last turn from Blue.

John Dvorak

I was thinking of Piano Guys using the cello as a percussion

PiIsNot3

!finalboard

Shiro

John Dvorak

two games as a guesser gave me a breather. Time to cash that in.
User58 guesses with Avi on her side, so it's time for a stern debriefing.
I'm going second.
Blue words: Shadow, Concert, Fork, Bow, Strike, Egypt, Worm, Sub
Black: Kiwi. Shouldn't cause trouble.

Concert looks like the oddball here, so pair it with Bow? Issue, Organ is red. Solution, Organs aren't used in a symphonic orchestra, being too big to fit through the door. Maybe add Strike using percussion. Opera is yellow. Theater is red, so also a problem.

Avi

9:04 PM

hmmm, ice cream + figure

John Dvorak

@Avi that's why I banked on having two turns

Avi

Conundrum

user58

Nice job from both SMs.

Avi

Ice cream Con

Rubiksmoose

@Avi yeah it was rough. Everyone did great though.

Avi

9:05 PM

Figure out the conundrum

yeah, amazing job on both sides

Pi came through last second with the clutch strike

El'endia Starman

Very well done by both SMs and teams, yes!

John Dvorak

"Too much good logic! Just pick the wrong answer already! " - :D

Rubiksmoose

The trick was I anticipated that people wouldn't know Dairy Queen and was hoping to lean on the name alone.

@JohnDvorak XD

John Dvorak

Even then, Queen = Figure doesn't really connect for me

Rubiksmoose

@JohnDvorak Yeah it was tough. I was really banking on the lack of other strong connections.

John Dvorak

9:08 PM

I was imagining you were referring to a person in a logo

user58

A lot of really close games lately

Avi

yeah, we're all pros apparently

John Dvorak

Great cluing by Rubiks

user58

0/

I can go for one more.

Avi

o/

Rubiksmoose

9:09 PM

@JohnDvorak thanks! You as well. I had to make up for the shoddy job I did the last couple of games ;)

Avi

make it quick though

Rubiksmoose

That last clue was perfect.

PiIsNot3

@Rubiksmoose Whoops didn’t mean to star that in the first place, but ICE CREAM required knowledge of what DQ is, so you were banking on your team simultaneously knowing and not knowing what it is

Rubiksmoose

@PiIsNot3 Well DAIRY only really led to one thing that I could see, so I hoped the connection was obvious from the wording.

John Dvorak

0/

PiIsNot3

9:10 PM

@Avi Uh well out of context that sounds kinda morbid

Avi

Sounds like CounterStrike out of context

Rubiksmoose

I can play but I'll have to drop out soonish

unless it is really quick

PiIsNot3

But thanks anyway :)

I have to go, GG everyone!

\o

Avi

ok, no second-guessing allowed this game

since it's 1 SM + 1 guesser on both sides

John Dvorak

Shall we establish blitz game rules?

Rubiksmoose

9:11 PM

o/

o\

brb

give me 5 though

xD

@JohnDvorak Meh. Don't think there's any real need.

Avi

9:12 PM

blitz rules: 1 minute per (1)

(unlimited) gets 7 minutes total

once time passes, it automatically becomes the next turn

not sure if 1 minute is too slow

user58

I think we should just try to play a normal game. Rushing it will just ruin it.

Avi

fair enough, but it could be surprisingly fun

user58

hey there @Miles

im back

MilesZew

@user58

sorry was just reading rules

never played before

Rubiksmoose

Feel free to watch :)

We can try to answer any questions you might have as well

Just don't guess unless you join a team.

MilesZew

ok

Rubiksmoose

Right now we're waiting for the first clue

John Dvorak

9:23 PM

Red: Ozone hole(3)

PiIsNot3

I guess I’ll stick around for a bit longer, but I will be leaving in the middle of the game

Shiro

Hi PiIsNot3, you'll be joining team red!

Hi MilesZew, you'll be joining team blue!

Avi

Shiro

9:24 PM

BLUE: user58, Rubiksmoose, MilesZew

Avi

looks like a tough board

and/or afk SM, whichever

PiIsNot3

The hole’s over ANTARCTICA

It looks like a PUPIL

And was dealt with by WASHINGTON

Or maybe EUROPE as well, IDK

Avi

uhhh

it's related to chlorofluorocarbons, right

maybe melting the ALPS?

pretty sure it doesn't look like a pupil, either way

PiIsNot3

@Avi Have you seen those pictures of it though?

Avi

uhhh, maybe?

I've seen pictures of it, like from the perspective of the entire earth

would lean europe/washington/antarctica

except, why couldn't he have just clued locations?

PiIsNot3

9:28 PM

It’s a really scary image, it’s literally a hole over Antarctica

Avi

maybe avoiding the alps?

PiIsNot3

I guess the ozone layer is a CLOAK around the Earth

Avi

fair, I can get behind that

PiIsNot3

I’m currently on ANTARCTICA > PUPIL > WASHINGTON ~ CLOAK

Let’s play ANTARCTICA first since at least we agree on that

Avi

maybe ANTARCTICA -> WASHINGTON -> CLOAK -> EUROPE

PiIsNot3

9:29 PM

You play

ANTARCTICA

ANTARCTICA is Red

And stop

ozone cycle?

o3 -> o2 -> o3?

think it's definitely that

PiIsNot3

PUPIL means roughly the same thing as “hole”

Avi

9:31 PM

fair enough

PiIsNot3

I’d rather play PUPIL first over anything else

Avi

we can try both

PiIsNot3

OK, playing PUPIL then

PUPIL

Shiro

PUPIL is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn

Avi

:(

Shiro

9:31 PM

user58

Blue: Tour de France (3)

Rubiksmoose

@MilesZew I'm thinking CYCLE for sure

I agree

CYCLE

CYCLE is Blue

9:32 PM

ALPS I think?

Does it go through the Alps?

I want to say it does.

MilesZew

Not sure

Rubiksmoose

You ok if we go for it?

yep

ALPS

ALPS is Blue

9:34 PM

I think the race occurs later than Spring but I could absolutely be wrong.

EUROPE would be the other thing that sticks out.

MilesZew

That's what I was thinking

Avi

Each ROBOT in a FILE gets a PARACHUTE to ANTARCTICA, where they CLOAK their DANCE upon a MINE, CYCLE each PUPIL into EUROPE and PASTE a TORCH onto each passing PLANE, WAKE up a sleeping KID and throw it near a CLIFF into a CAR belonging to WASHINGTON, trash the ALPS each TIME a certain DATE appears on a SCREEN, loot a treasure CHEST, and SPRING a trap inside a HOTEL

Rubiksmoose

@MilesZew which one?

MilesZew

EUROPE

Rubiksmoose

Want to go ahead and guess that then?

MilesZew

9:35 PM

sure

go for it.

EUROPE

EUROPE is Blue

[pass]

9:36 PM

[pass]

Rubiksmoose

(gotta make that one bold as well BTW)

MilesZew

(oops)

Avi

no need to whisper - the clue's not out yet ;P

Rubiksmoose

oh good because I'm going to have to leave at some point soonish

Avi

last clue was Ozone hole(3)

for us

DJMcMayhem

Nice

What was first red clue?

Avi

I guess PLANES and CARS kill the ozone hole

uhhh, they got Tour de France (3)

DJMcMayhem

9:39 PM

Wait...

oic

Avi

we got kinda dunked on

Red: Travels(5)

PLANE

PLANE is Red

oops

9:40 PM

wow

Avi

sorry

CARS

PiIsNot3

Hey at least it was Red lol

Avi

time travel

DJMcMayhem

Ping me when we're up

PiIsNot3

HOTEL works for travelling

Avi

9:41 PM

we're up

PiIsNot3

Yeah, TIME travel is also a thing too

DJ’s on Blue

CAR is a means of travelling

Avi

oh, ok re:DJ

PiIsNot3

After that idk

Maybe we can guess some “Ozone hole” words if all our guesses work out

Avi

ok, let's do CAR/HOTEL/TIME

user58

@Avi *snoring* speak for yourself

Avi

9:43 PM

ba dum tssss

PiIsNot3

I’m currently CAR ~ HOTEL ~ TIME > WASHINGTON > CLOAK > CYCLE

uh, cycle is dead

Whoops sorry

travelling cloak

Playing CAR, HOTEL, and TIME?

CAR

Shiro

9:44 PM

CAR is Red

PiIsNot3

HOTEL

Avi

CAR ~ HOTEL ~ TIME ~ CLOAK > Washington

Shiro

HOTEL is Red

PiIsNot3

TIME

Shiro

TIME is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn

MilesZew

9:44 PM

@DJMcMayhem

Avi

rip

DJMcMayhem

@MilesZew Not quite up yet since we don't have a clue

PiIsNot3

Ah the clue is “Travels” not “Travel,” should’ve mentioned that

MilesZew

Ok

Avi

oh, fair enough

maybe a Chest is a travelling bag

PiIsNot3

9:45 PM

WASHINGTON and CLOAK on standby, and I’m seeing a couple others too that might work but I’ll wait until our turn

Blue: dump (3)

@DJMcMayhem

hmmm

@user58 Dump?

hmmmmmmmm

9:46 PM

^

PiIsNot3

@Avi Dump.

MilesZew

File dump?

Avi

@PiIsNot3 Looks like it

MilesZew

*dump file

Rubiksmoose

could be. Dump could be a trash heap, to take a poo, to drop something

MilesZew

9:48 PM

yea

Rubiksmoose

to break up with as well

DJMcMayhem

Hmm

Chest?

Rubiksmoose

Screen dump is a phrase?

DJMcMayhem

I don't think so

Rubiksmoose

Ok.

DJMcMayhem

9:49 PM

(but maybe I just haven't heard it before)

Rubiksmoose

I think it is, it's like a screen capture or screen shot.

MilesZew

I think you might be right

Rubiksmoose

Wanna give it a try?

MilesZew

sure

wait

file first?

Rubiksmoose

waiting.

DJMcMayhem

9:52 PM

File > screen IMO

Rubiksmoose

Alrighty, I'll go with the crowd

FILE

Shiro

FILE is Red
That's too bad.
It is now Red's turn

Oh wow...

oof

:(

9:52 PM

Didn’t expect that

DJMcMayhem

Sorry

MilesZew

ouch

Avi

Personally File ~ Screen for dump as well

very unfortunate

PiIsNot3

@DJMcMayhem No, I think FILE was perfectly reasonable, the SM just might’ve screwed up

(58 almost always plays really late at night, so that might explain it)

Rubiksmoose

@DJMcMayhem Either way, no reason. It happens and we all agreed. :) If we didn't throw out ideas we were unsure of we'd never get anywhere.

MilesZew

9:54 PM

Very true

DJMcMayhem

@Rubiksmoose What do you think of chest?

user58

@PiIsNot3 Excerpt from SM's log, 11:50PM, 11-11-2019: "...I'm falling asleep at my desk..."

Avi

I'm thinking dance, torch, screen

in terms of random guesses

PiIsNot3

@user58 The prosecution rests its case

Avi

let's not guess randomly though

Rubiksmoose

9:56 PM

@DJMcMayhem Chest dump? I'm not familiar with the connection.

DJMcMayhem

@Rubiksmoose Dumping the contents of a chest out?

That's not a phrase or anything, just an association

MilesZew

Seems like a stretch

Rubiksmoose

@DJMcMayhem Ah I see. Maybe. I don't feel too hot on it.

Avi

Kid takes a dump on street

DJMcMayhem

OK

PiIsNot3

9:56 PM

@Avi Heh, given your track record, at least one of those is Red

Avi

entire street excoriates him

John Dvorak

red: Separation(3)

PiIsNot3

Oh boy, these clues aren’t getting any easier to guess

Avi

cliff?

DJMcMayhem

@JohnDvorak Wait... Are you actually running windows < 7? o_O

Avi

9:57 PM

cloak, mine

PiIsNot3

I actually have no clue what this could be, let alone find 3 connection

Avi

uhhhh

so it's separation

PiIsNot3

Maybe PARACHUTE because it separates from your skydiving gear?

Avi

cliff separates two pieces of land

PiIsNot3

WASHINGTON is famously partisan, which is a form of separation

Avi

9:59 PM

cloak separates you from the outside world by hiding you

OH

good one

separatism

DJMcMayhem

@Rubiksmoose I just realized a much more obvious word...

PiIsNot3

@Avi No, a cliff is a steep drop off of land, doesn’t separate

Rubiksmoose

@DJMcMayhem I'm excited to hear it in a few!

Avi

~| cliff |~~~
~| |~~~
~| |~~~

PiIsNot3

A cliff could also occur along a coastline

Rubiksmoose

9:59 PM

Because I certainly feel like I'm missing some things
