@ThePuzzlingPlatypus It was essentially "mute dcfyj"

John Dvorak

13:54

not "mute". Just "stop rambling".

dcfyj

17:12

@JohnDvorak pfff, I don't ramble. I would never ramble. Since when do I ramble? Why do you think I ramble? I'm sure you think I'm rambling now. I'm not rambling though, because I don't ramble. :P

Is that, too, a super-command?

Rubiksmoose

can ping if needed

Brandon_J

19:25

@Rubiksmoose are ye up for a game?

Mithical

In any case, the bot ping list is so outdated it's probably kinda useless at this point.

Rubiksmoose

I'm a solid ./ right now. Crazy busy. But I might pop in.

Mithical

@JohnDvorak *checks answer that I myself wrote* apparently yes

Brandon_J

Well, good luck with your work

@Mithical I'd clean it up, but I can only remove myself from it lol

Rubiksmoose

oh it probably has to be the chat number

Mithical

no, it's based on usernames

dcfyj

19:26

According to the meta post, no

Rubiksmoose

oh, interesting. That's kind of what we were seeing the other day I thought.

Mithical

Whitelist is ID based; pinglist is usernamed based

Rubiksmoose

ahhh, mixed those up.

Mithical

@dcfyj I'm trying to update the username to be the current one

Rubiksmoose

!notpingable Mithrandir

Shiro

19:29

Removing Mithrandir from the pinglist.

Rubiksmoose

!pingable Mithical

Shiro

Adding Mithical to the pinglist.

Rubiksmoose

There we go

Mithical

Thanks. What did you do differently this time?

Rubiksmoose

I have no idea

Brandon_J

HTM

I’ve never seen this many full opacity profile pics in this room without a game going on

dcfyj

Took me a second to realize what you meant haha

John Dvorak

There's still one half-opacity image though - the guy from Ghost Trick

HTM

@JohnDvorak Yeah, I wonder who that guy is? Must be a newbie

Mithical

mm

@JohnDvorak I would ask if you would like to be SM but you take forever

John Dvorak

only if it's a tough board

North

True

John Dvorak

proposal: time limit for SMs and guessers

DJMcMayhem

@/

John Dvorak

20:25

per turn

North

@JohnDvorak That's not a bad proposal but maybe later

HTM

Doesn’t the original Codenames set contain a timer?

John Dvorak

... or aggregate per-turn, chess style

North

Okay perfect

Mithical

*picks up gavel again* denied, Mr. Worf *puts down gavel again*

DJMcMayhem

Working on it

North

@HTM Thanks

@DJMcMayhem Waitttiiiinnnng?

DJMcMayhem

20:38

Sorry, working on it.

Blue: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (3)

(do I win for longest clue ever?)

Mithical

doubt it

John Dvorak

the lion refers to "cat"

wardrobe to "dress"

HTM

Crud, I knew my lack of knowledge of fantasy literature would come to bite me in the behind

John Dvorak

this is just the per-word reading

HTM

It’s a NOVEL, I guess

John Dvorak

20:40

ah, right!

Mithical

@HTM sorry, that was my nonexistent cat

John Dvorak

I was looking for a witch synonym

going for it

CAT

Shiro

CAT is Blue

HTM

Wait, we still have @Rubiksmoose lol

John Dvorak

k

I didn't want to disturb him

HTM

20:41

At least the first try was OK

Rubiksmoose

no worries :) continue on

(but yeah I agree)

John Dvorak

DRESS

HTM

Honestly, any of these words could relate to the series in some tangential way, and I wouldn’t have a single clue as to why

Shiro

DRESS is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn

John Dvorak

novel next. Looking for third.

HTM

20:43

NOVEL definitely next (don’t know why that wasn’t the first play)

Rubiksmoose

Maybe London and Leprechaun then?

London since it was set in Britain, Leprechaun because fantasy

Mithical

@North

John Dvorak

What's the half-goat named? Is it Pan?

Rubiksmoose

Mr. Tumnus? (Tumnis?)

El'endia Starman

@JohnDvorak No, but that'd be an interesting twist on the story lol.

John Dvorak

20:44

ah, thank you

I don't know the setting; London is plausible

El'endia Starman

I should've been on DJ's team lol...

North

Red: Plant (4)

John Dvorak

Pole, for the iconic lamppost?

El'endia Starman

GRASS, PALM, and STRAW?

DJMcMayhem

!who

Shiro

20:45

Red currently has 4 guesses remaining.

Rubiksmoose

@JohnDvorak oh yeah, that works too.

Mithical

PALM

Shiro

PALM is Red

North

flip

Typo

Mithical

whoops sorry El'endia

North

20:46

I ,eqnt to type four

You still have four guesses :/

DJMcMayhem

@North That's fine probably. I don't think they would have gone for a fifth :P

Mithical

GRASS, STRAW?

North

@DJMcMayhem yeah, they're not Avi

El'endia Starman

Fourth might be DATE (the fruit) or CELL (microscopic cells).

I like GRASS and STRAW.

Mithical

Ah, DATE. Missed that. That's a good one.

GRASS > STRAW > DATE?

El'endia Starman

20:47

Go for it.

Mithical

GRASS

Shiro

GRASS is Red

Mithical

STRAW

Shiro

STRAW is Red

Mithical

DATE

Shiro

20:48

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

Mithical

whee

El'endia Starman

yeeeee

Shiro

Mithical

solid start, North :)

Rubiksmoose

Interesting. There was actually one more plant out there that I saw lol

HTM

20:49

@Mithical Every time you say that, I can’t help but imagine you sitting in a roller coaster with a very neutral face

Mithical

@Rubiksmoose VACUUM? ;)

Rubiksmoose

lol. Nope ;-)

HTM

”Whee. What a fun ride. Definitely enjoying this a lot.”

John Dvorak

GLaDOS - Weeeeeeee

Mithical

"The humans enjoy this. I shall enjoy it as well."

Rubiksmoose

20:50

"initiating joy.exe."

DJMcMayhem

Blue: Wooden (2)

John Dvorak

fence

HTM

Immediately see POLE and DECK

Oh, FENCE over DECK then

Rubiksmoose

I like FENCE = DECK > pole

John Dvorak

seconded RM

HTM

20:55

I’m fine with that order

Now playing...

FENCE

Shiro

FENCE is Blue

HTM

DECK

Shiro

DECK is Blue

HTM

Go for NOVEL now?

John Dvorak

novel from earlier

Rubiksmoose

20:56

I think that's by far the strongest optoin

HTM

OK, playing:

NOVEL

Shiro

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

John Dvorak

neat

HTM

Good, catching up a bit

Rubiksmoose

alrighty back on track

John Dvorak

20:57

then we have one more Narnia thing to go

HTM

Geometry Dash - Back on Track - All Coins

►

El'endia Starman

I wonder what games would be like with a 7x7 grid instead of 5x5.

DJMcMayhem

@El'endiaStarman Would you adjust the number of each color as well?

HTM

@El'endiaStarman Chaos.

John Dvorak

longer

El'endia Starman

20:58

@DJMcMayhem Yeah, of course.

John Dvorak

@DJMcMayhem just add assassins

Rubiksmoose

@JohnDvorak beat me to it lol

Mithical

Add a second assassin

El'endia Starman

I figure there would also be more opportunity for big clues.

DJMcMayhem

Technically Duet has 3 or 5 assassins, depending on how you count

North

20:59

Red: FLUTE (2)

Mithical

POLE > PITCH / PLAY

El'endia Starman

PAN and PLAY? PITCH as a plausible third/backup.
