Techidiot

Let the game begin..

dcfyj

You forgot the 5 second option

Also the 5 day one, but I think that one's pretty unlikely to happen :P

Techidiot

Who are in for SM's?

dcfyj

sure I'll do it, I'm not horribly busy at the moment

Business Cat

I guess I can this time, but I'm not asking to do it

Watch/Light

Sid

dcfyj

@Techidiot You know you're not on my team right?

Techidiot

Oops

Thanks!

Business Cat

@Techidiot ಠ_ಠ

Sid

WATCH

dcfyj

red

n_palum

Why light?

Techidiot

16:09

Those eyes are threatening .. :p

Sid

Light houses are towers, I believe.

n_palum

Oh I guess so

The washington monument is like a tower :P

Sid

That would be pretty vague for Washington.

n_palum

Guess so, light works then

Sid

LIGHT

dcfyj

16:12

Red

Sid

[Pass]

Shiro

Business Cat

FISH (2)

Techidiot

Hmm..

octopus/net

n_palum

And turkey fish

that swim in pools full of bats

usually found in berlin or washington

dcfyj

16:14

>.<

Sid

Buried by undertaker

Techidiot

@ffao @Rubio Thoughts? I doubt a little, octopus being fish

Rubio

oh sorry. didn't realize I was placed on a team :)

octopus and net seem obvious.

dcfyj

You will play!

Techidiot

Okay..

Rubio

16:17

distant third of Pool.

Techidiot

Hmm..

Lets go with octopus..

Tumbler41

Possible stick, but tenuous.

n_palum

is an octopus a fish

Techidiot

Octopus

Rubio

close enough, I'd think

Business Cat

16:17

Neutral

Techidiot

lol

Rubio

... or maybe not.

n_palum

not close enough :P

Techidiot

I had doubts..but okay..

Neutral is good.

manshu

!board

Sid

16:18

!board

n_palum

No manshu bad

they have to pass

Rubio

stick doesn't seem bad in retrospect.

n_palum

it'll come up automatically

Rubio

We don't have to pass. We hit neutral, we're done.

Techidiot

Net can be the first one..

Business Cat

16:19

Why do they have to pass

n_palum

OH yeah

Sid

...right. Shiro still doesn't like me.

Rubio

!board

Techidiot

And then stick/pool..

Rubio

there ya go

Shiro

16:19

n_palum

whatchu got dc

dcfyj

Sewage (2)

manshu

It's not like shiro doesn't like me. She clearly hates me.

Rubio

so i'm only sort of here - ping me if I'm not answering, please. (And sorry.)

Sid

Is plastic sewage?

Pipe also makes some sense to me.

Kritixi Lithos

16:20

pipe

n_palum

Sewage pool maybe.. definitely pipe

Techidiot

Sewage can be removed using a stick..

manshu

I am in which team?

Business Cat

None yet

dcfyj

They're even, pick one

Techidiot

16:21

Pick any one..Go with blue

Business Cat

Blue team is better (totally unbiased)

dcfyj

Blue team is better (totally unbiased) :P

manshu

ok.. i am in red

dcfyj

lol

Techidiot

Lucky ones are those who don't have a sewage-Luck maybe?

Sid

16:21

PIPE

dcfyj

red

Techidiot

@manshu Greed? :p

n_palum

I like pool and kind of plastic

manshu

@Techidiot Yeah. I sealed a deal worth millions. :p

dcfyj

@manshu it's red's turn by the way

Techidiot

16:22

:D

manshu

Undertaker maybe?

Sid

I like plastic>pool.

Techidiot

@dcfyj SM's..shhh..

D

:D

dcfyj

@Techidiot ?

Techidiot

Typo :p

dcfyj

16:23

My response is the same

manshu

i know that meaning doesn't make sense but sewage are usually taken from under the ground.

Techidiot

I like what manshu say's

Very true!

n_palum

Mmmm no

manshu

forget what I just said. :p

dcfyj

SM's are allowed to talk, just not about their clues, and I've said nothing about mine.

n_palum

16:24

Plastic

dcfyj

red

Sid

@n_palum let's go for pool. Now that I see it, pool is marginally better

n_palum

Lol

Sid

Lol

n_palum

We could've been lucky

manshu

16:25

nice

n_palum

Can guess pool still

Sid

Can't be the assassin, surely. We are also quite ahead.

n_palum

Why not

manshu

POOL

dcfyj

...

Business Cat

16:26

Why not? Because it's blue

Techidiot

blue

n_palum

Well

Kritixi Lithos

why

Sid

... Well.

Techidiot

!board

n_palum

16:26

Manshu just went at it :P

Shiro

Sid

At least it is not assassin.

n_palum

Sewage pool makes me think of cesspit

Business Cat

TRAP (2)

Techidiot

So, we got one for fish..second is net..

Oh, net again.. :p

Rubio

16:27

yeah do net

Techidiot

So, it should be stick..

For fish..

NET

manshu

What is mine is mine is mine is mine is mine, and also trap :p

Business Cat

Blue

Techidiot

Stick Rubio?

Sid

Washington is a trap, guys..

dcfyj

16:28

@manshu Who's team are you on lol

Rubio

stick, then maybe MINE as another trap

manshu

Why does a single word have many meaning? :(

Techidiot

hmm

Stick

Rubio

because they chose this list of words pretty carefully. :)

dcfyj

@manshu welcome to english

Business Cat

16:29

Neutral...

dcfyj

lol

Techidiot

Oh no..

Rubio

oh c'mon

Techidiot

What was fish for then :-/

!board

Business Cat

Can't say until after the game

Shiro

16:30

manshu

fish is also for amatuer :p

dcfyj

Yak (2)

manshu

calf?

ffao

... 24 pings

Rubio

I'm sure in this case it's for PLATE. cuz, like, cat.

ffao

16:31

oh cool, sending a message clears the pings

I was dreading having to do that

dcfyj

heh

Sid

No idea. Go for what you feel.

Kritixi Lithos

snowman?

manshu

why snowman?

Kritixi Lithos

as in, yaks live in cold places

n_palum

16:31

What why snowman

Kritixi Lithos

snow would be better

n_palum

That's a big stretch

I'd say calf first

manshu

then it should be snow :/

Kritixi Lithos

snow and calf

Tumbler41

Why not snow instead of snowman then?

n_palum

16:32

Maybe centaur because they're similarishhh

manshu

centaur have half human body iirc

n_palum

I'd say snow over snowman though

Rubio

why not BAT, they both have three letters and the middle one is an A.

[note. that is NOT how to make a valid clue. hehe]

n_palum

We're not supposed to do that silly

manshu

should we go for calf?

n_palum

16:33

CALF

dcfyj

red

n_palum

I'm okay with snow

manshu

me too.

Rubio

not me. it's cold, and wet, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

manshu

@Sid @KritixiLithos snow?

Kritixi Lithos

16:34

let's do snow

manshu

snow

dcfyj

Red

manshu

phew

Rubio

and Jon Snow looks ~~nothing~~ mostly nothing like a yak.

n_palum

Lol

[pass]

ffao

16:35

wait, I'm playing

Shiro

ffao

so how is my team doing? xD

not well

Business Cat

Badly

n_palum

Well take a look

Sid

We need to get 3 clues only. Should be easy...

Business Cat

16:36

SPORTS (3)

Rubio

center, block, bat, drill, and plate are all sports words.

Techidiot

bat/luck/block?

Kritixi Lithos

Berlin as in the Berlin olympics

Rubio

so is undertaker, if you consider WWF a sport. (I don't.)

Techidiot

Yeah.. WWE is a sport I think

Sid

16:37

@rubio they call it "entertainment"

n_palum

Ehhhhhhhh it's fake

Rubio

Oh. My bad. ;)

ffao

I suspect one's consideration of whether WWE is a sport or not depends on one's level of desperation as SM

Rubio

But seriously there are 5 perfectly good sports words here.

ffao

I like block the most

Techidiot

16:38

We have fish open

Rubio

I think the strongest 3 are bat, plate, and center. then block, then drill.

ffao

oh, bat, that's actually good

Techidiot

Or was it cluing pool/net..

Bat is solid

ffao

plate would be for what?

Rubio

baseball?

manshu

16:39

turkey is also a good sports team.

Kritixi Lithos

oh yeah

Techidiot

Block is for defender's in sports..That should be the second choice..and center/undertaker next..

Rubio

in that case. bat, block, center, plate, drill. and undertaker I wasn't at all serious about; it would be dead last.

Techidiot

Go for bat first

Rubio

Any objections? Going once ...

ffao

16:40

bat

Business Cat

Blue

dcfyj

blue

Rubio

BLOCK

Techidiot

Block is for trap I think

dcfyj

Blue

Rubio

16:41

CENTER

(yeah possibly)

dcfyj

blue

ffao

woo, good turn

Techidiot

Hold on..

Oh we are done I guess

Business Cat

Testing

Tumbler41

Back in the game

Rubio

16:41

plate? or mine?

dcfyj

Nice come back by the way

Business Cat

Ok weird

Rubio

I think plate works for sports and for fish.

Business Cat

I couldn't chat for some reason

Messages kept disappearing

dcfyj

@BusinessCat you probably typed the same thing and chat though it was a mistake

Rubio

16:42

If you repeat the same message it eats it

Techidiot

Yeah..

Two blues and the second is gone..

Rubio

doing plate in 3

Business Cat

Ahhh I should keep that in mind

Rubio

2

dcfyj

It is case sensitive though

Techidiot

16:42

Add some thing like ..

Rubio

1

Kritixi Lithos

0

Rubio

PLATE

Business Cat

Blue

Techidiot

!board

Rubio

16:42

and we be done.

Shiro

Sid

Whoa. How did this get so close?

dcfyj

That was a very good turn, nice comeback

Rubio

blue's back in the game.

Kritixi Lithos

that comeback was so epic

ffao

16:43

I'm just that good

blue was without me before

dcfyj

lol

Techidiot

So.. trap for mine?

ffao

it's red's turn

Techidiot

Block for sport..

Possible..

(Preparing for next turn)

Rubio

I think we let mine go unless we see another clue that points its way

I'm not convinced it wasn't BLOCK for trap

if you trap something in, you block it in, ...

Techidiot

16:45

But, mines are also kind of trap for enemies..

But yes, block leads the way..

dcfyj

Death (2)

Techidiot

Turkey..that's it..

Death of an animal!

Sid

Okay... Undertaker.

ffao

undertaker has to do with SPORTS though

WWE is almost an Olympic sport

manshu

My first guess was undertaker too.

Rubio

16:47

Nah. Drill. There's stories of people who were killed by a drill. Also, of athletes who have literally dropped dead during sports drills due to heat exhaustion or previously undetected heart disease.

Kritixi Lithos

mine

Sid

Pressure.. Which two next? @n_palum and @KritixiLithos

Rubio

NO. MINE. HANDS OFF. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT.

Techidiot

imdb.com/title/tt0197909

n_palum

Undertaker works

Techidiot

16:48

Oops.. sorry..I helped the wrong team there :-/

Rubio

You're ... not supposed to do that :)

Business Cat

ಠ_ಠ

Techidiot

:D

manshu

what is happening?

Sid

undertaker

dcfyj

16:48

red

n_palum

Snowman because they die when it gets warm?

A mine can cause death

manshu

yes. snowman

Kritixi Lithos

∧∧

manshu

and mine.

Kritixi Lithos

snowman seems too off

Techidiot

16:49

bad luck can cause it too..

Sid

Yep. Let's go for it..

Rubio

what? there's a movie and everything

manshu

snowman

dcfyj

...

Rubio

lol

dcfyj

16:49

yellow

ffao

what

Kritixi Lithos

noooo

Techidiot

:((

Rubio

lolwut

Kritixi Lithos

we were just talking about MINE :P

Techidiot

16:50

Manshu - double agent ? :[

:D

Rubio

it's ok - the right answer was obviously turkey anyway

Business Cat

Thinking on next clue...

n_palum

Manshu again?

manshu

we were talking about snowman

n_palum

Yeah, and mine

Sid

16:50

IT WAS TO GO FOR MINE

Rubio

!board

Shiro

manshu

I should be sleeping :(

sorry guys.

Sid

No problem. Blue's comeback deserved a win anyway

Techidiot

That's fine.. No apologies..you didn't get the assassin atleast :) All good.. game is still ON!

dcfyj

16:51

Waiting for the kitty

Business Cat

MYTHICAL (1)

Rubio

both sides 2 more to go?

CENTAUR

Techidiot

So, they think..we have some words :)

Business Cat

Blue

dcfyj

blue

Techidiot

16:52

not mine though..

Rubio

ok so now

ffao

I don't like our situation :/

Rubio

do we think Cat left us in the lurch with our last word unclued, leaving Red an opening to win?

Techidiot

I think..it could be - drill for sports

ffao

if I were SM, this clue would almost certainly mean to go for mine

Techidiot

16:54

That is very close..

ffao

but... death though...

Techidiot

I am 100% for Drill..You guys can decide

Rubio

We got all the sports words

or, more correctly, we got the count's worth of sports words

either we got one "by accident" which I don't buy, or the last is still a TRAP word we didn't get

so I'd vote for MINE, cuz - well - we're all or nothing at this point

ffao

I can sort of agree with that

Rubio

the only reason I'm not more sure is that I'm almost positive MINE was red's other death word

ffao

16:56

even if mine is death, we don't have any options other than passing

so it's either go yolo or let red have a crack with their last 2 words

Rubio

well. tell ya what

there's been several times Tech's gone with his gut and been right when I was pretty sure it was something else.

I'm up for DRILL here, if only because if MINE is not a death word then dcfyj is insane

so ... yolo.

DRILL

Business Cat

Neutral

Rubio

damnit.

Sid

phew

ffao

aw, you're still insane at this game, tech

Sid

16:59

@dcfyj take us home now.
