Rubio

Wow.

Sid

FLUTE

n_palum

!board

dcfyj

red

ffao

the plot thickens

Shiro

17:00

n_palum

Do we go for mine?

Sid

@n_palum well what now? Go for mine?

n_palum

MINE

It's gotta be

dcfyj

gg...

blue

Rubio

!board

ffao

17:01

LULWAT

n_palum

WAT

Rubio

... seriously?!

Shiro

Sid

WHAT

Business Cat

3 mins ago, by Rubio

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

dcfyj

17:01

Tech was right, my other death was luck

Business Cat

Confirmed

n_palum

Why??

dcfyj

rabbit's foot, the thing has to die for it

Business Cat

For the record, I was trying to hint you to go for mine

Rubio

(So - the bit I didn't say was - if it IS mine, Red will do our work for us hehe)

Sid

17:02

This was an amazing game!

Business Cat

Well that, and there's no possible link between mine and centaur

dcfyj

Yeah, we we're screwed either way, that's why I didn't bother steering away from mine

I couldn't think of a way to link flute/luck

ffao

the reverse gambit almost worked

Business Cat

And worst case, I didn't have much confidence in linking flute and luck

n_palum

That feels very stretched

ffao

17:03

but you had to make a (2) clue, no matter how stretched

Rubio

"Magic" would have worked, possibly.

ffao

just to tell your team it wasn't mine

Magic would have been my choice as well

Rubio

Magic Flute is a thing. With a (2) there'd be nothing else than LUCK

dcfyj

magic doesn't really scream "luck" to me

n_palum

I would've guessed luck/flute off of magic

dcfyj

17:04

honestly it's pretty hard to link luck with anything

n_palum

the (2) would have definitely dissuaded the mine

Business Cat

I kinda wished I could make a spelling clue having center and centaur :P

Rubio

You'd be about as likely to get QUEEN ouf of it than LUCK, but at least that's neutral

dcfyj

@BusinessCat haha yeah, I saw that pretty early on

ffao

well, he had to try at least, the (1) was just giving up

dcfyj

17:05

I couldn't think of a way to link them, so yes

Rubio

I read the (1) as "you know the other one, just guess it"

n_palum

^

dcfyj

I thought about saying explosive (0) but then they wouldn't know the last word

Oh by the way @BusinessCat, turkey is also a sports term

ffao

still better than 0% lol

Rubio

what sports term is "turkey" ?

dcfyj

17:06

Bowling specifically

ffao

bowling

dcfyj

3 strikes in a row

ffao

three strikes in a row

Rubio

oh

Business Cat

Meh, at that point we were so far behind I was taking a risk

dcfyj

17:06

I was hoping someone knew that and went for it lol

Business Cat

I knew that but bowling isn't really a sport

n_palum

Lol yes it is

Tumbler41

Shots fired.

Rubio

it's more a sport than WWE hehe

dcfyj

I believe it's considered as such

ffao

17:07

^^^

Business Cat

And it's also a lot more obscure than center, block, bat, etc

dcfyj

true

ffao

going for the obvious ones tends to be better

Tumbler41

So, POOL, NET for fish (2)?

dcfyj

That was my thought

Mike Q

17:08

Since when is WWE a sport? I thought it was considered a form of live theater.

dcfyj

wow, 5 left on the board. close match

Business Cat

It was supposed to be pool, net. It wasn't a great clue but our words weren't great either

So I was floundering

dcfyj

Yeah, that was a hard board to clue

Rubio

ba-dum-tshhh

n_palum

\o

Tumbler41

17:09

Anyone going for another? I want in if so.

Rubio

aight. I AM OUT, have a happy.

dcfyj

I was glad when manshu bolded snowman, saved us from immediate death

Business Cat

It's almost like you guys knew Turkey was the assassin. It was the joke answer for every clue

dcfyj

lol yeah

ffao

so our double agent actually almost caused red to win

weird game

dcfyj

17:11

lol, yeah. gave us a chance at least.

n_palum

Odd

Deusovi

Oh huh, I just missed a game

dcfyj

It was a beaut

Mike Q

I'll join next game

Tumbler41

It was epic

I'm in.

dcfyj

17:13

but sadly I couldn't save the red team

n_palum

\o/

ffao

still in

you missed an epic game, Deusovi

dcfyj

I still have no idea when I was made RO lol

Business Cat

I'm still in

But prefer not SM again

dcfyj

lol, rough match?

I wasn't cluing particularly well, just doing 2 at a time, your 3 clue saved your team

Business Cat

17:14

I couldn't justify cluing sports with drill and stick both out there

But I just had to when we were so behind

dcfyj

I still don't see how they got stick for fish lol

Business Cat

Fish sticks

Deusovi

fish sticks

Tumbler41

^

Business Cat

I didn't think of it either

dcfyj

17:15

I guess, net and pool feel far stronger to me

Deusovi

hm, I'd've guessed those first

Tumbler41

I would have guessed octopus net

Business Cat

And octopus? Like yeah it's technically a fish but is that really what I'd be going for

Tumbler41

Octopus is stronger than pool to me, because pools don't have fish

dcfyj

Octopus isn't a fish though, they eat them, but they aren't fish

Business Cat

17:16

Actually yeah I guess they aren't

n_palum

@dcfyj I think Mith made like you and someone else a RO during the first day or two this was made for some reason

Sconibulus

Aren't octupus fish?

Business Cat

Fish are vertebrates and octopi aren't

Now I think of it

dcfyj

@n_palum Probably because I'm RO in contact?

n_palum

Fish sticks > octopus

@dcfyj That's what I figured when I saw it

Deusovi

17:17

@n_palum, @dcfyj: Oh, I think that was me, and yeah. I figured that was a good "default"

dcfyj

@Sconibulus no, they're cephelapods I believe

Deusovi

contact ROs --> codenames ROs

dcfyj

I'm just a default :(

Business Cat

That sounds right

Deusovi

I was gonna do the rest, but never bothered with it

Business Cat

17:18

(Just based on Cephalids from MtG)

dcfyj

lol

n_palum

Ooo ok

Anyhoooooo \o\ who is in

dcfyj

Not like we need a huge number of them here

Deusovi

yeah

dcfyj

I'll guess another game

ffao

17:18

o\

Sconibulus

I vaguely remember a chart in like elementary school that had Fish, Insects, Reptiles, Birds, Amphibians, Mammals as classes under Animal kingdom

Techidiot

Oh good god! What a game... @Rubio That gut was w/o analyzing the facts.. Well done. Nice game..

Deusovi

o/

another game that would be great to play with you all but I have no idea how to possibly implement: Dixit.

Mike Q

@n_palum me please

Sconibulus

although actually maybe Insects was Invertebrates...

Business Cat

17:19

o/

ffao

Dixit would be quite harder because we would need to keep everyone's cards hidden

I'm quite good at that in Portuguese, but I don't know about English...

Deusovi

yeah, and votes, and we'd need a way to shuffle...

Tumbler41

\o

Business Cat

There's like 7 classes of invertibrates or something ridiculous

n_palum

We should just find an online way to do it and send people over

Or we should just make everyone get table top sim and play board games there :P

Techidiot

17:20

(From the second last game - how would be BRAVE for CAPITAL AND KNIGHT?)

Deusovi

@ffao Hm, I wouldn't expect it to be language-dependent - if anything, I'd expect Codenames and Contact to be harder for non-native speakers.

Business Cat

I learned it in grade 6 and it's been thoroughly useless in the 10 years since then so I don't really remember

n_palum

@Techidiot Better for knight, not great for the other

dcfyj

So you're ~20 then?

Business Cat

21

Techidiot

17:21

dcfyj

Yeah, add almost another 10 years on top of that for me haha

n_palum

~22 :P

>2 months

Techidiot

Now, BRAVE still clues WAR? or CAPITAL/KNIGHT? (quite difficult to get those two )

ffao

brave might hit war too

such an annoying assassin

dcfyj

Castle (2) might get you capital with knight

Techidiot

17:22

Yeah..

ffao

the worst assassin for me that game would be TUBE, it related to almost my whole board

dcfyj

lol

Techidiot

I thought of that, but castle is often placed in the capitals and is took over in war's

ffao

I was almost happy when it was guessed

n_palum

Okay for who's playing: me, deus, dc, ffao, cat, tumble, mike - unknown: techi, sconibulus

Techidiot

17:24

I am not here much..will be going in a few minutes and then connecting from phone..so, you can skip adding me in a team..

n_palum

@Sconibulus in or out

dcfyj

I didn't even know he was here

Deusovi

anyone else have any other ideas for games that could be ported to chat? :P

dcfyj

Not offhand

Jan Dvorak

I'd like a D&D room

dcfyj

17:25

Does contact still get much traffic?

n_palum

@Deusovi Not ones that would warrant their own rooms

@dcfyj Yeah

Deusovi

I mean, I didn't think Contact would warrant its own room before we introduced it

and look at what happened there

Mike Q

@JanDvorak I think RPG.SE has something like that

dcfyj

@JanDvorak Pretty sure that would be too intensive for the people at work that shouldn't be playing games anyways.

Jan Dvorak

Oh, nice

Mike Q

17:26

@Deusovi Probably a bad idea, but maybe an exclusive room for CCCC?

n_palum

@Deusovi Well.. I have one, but I still stand by making people get tabletop :P to play card stuff

Deusovi

yeah, that's probably a better fit for RPG.SE chat anyway

ffao

@dcfyj I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be getting any work done if I had to drill down 480 minutes per day...

dcfyj

lol

Deusovi

@n_palum yeah, card stuff would need Tabletop Sim - we're lucky that we were able to implement Codenames so well

n_palum

17:28

@Deusovi Scattegories and you don't say might work.. but would also be hard

ffao

what is tabletop? does it simulate a lot of major card games?

Tumbler41

yeah

Deusovi

Tabletop Simulator is a "game" on Steam

and it's exactly what it sounds like

n_palum

@ffao tabletop sim is something on steam that allows you to play a ton of boardgames

ffao

you don't say would be a bit hard because that requires fast-paced action

Business Cat

17:28

@n_palum Scattegries would require an honour system as best I can tell

ffao

and this chat doesn't get a lot of fast-paced action

Business Cat

No way to really enforce people not changing their answer after time's up

n_palum

^ ^^ my reservations about them

Tumbler41

Soooo... we starting up the next game?

n_palum

Need to pick SMs

ffao

17:30

not changing answers is easy, just instead of "writing down" you submit a hash

I can't be SM

n_palum

@Deusovi round 3?

or 4.. not sure

Mike Q

I'm willing to SM if nobody else wants to

dcfyj

I can probably do it again, unless someone else is coming up to bat.

n_palum

Going once...

Twice...

Sconibulus

going twice...

Mike Q

17:34

going thrice...

...don't know how to say that for #4...

dcfyj

I'm guessing I'm red again, I have been both matches today hehe

n_palum

!newgame MikeQ, dctyj, n_p, Scon, ffao, tumbler, deus, cat, jan

dcfyj

Although I could be blue since I've been alternating as well... which one takes precedence I wonder.

Shiro

RED: MikeQ, jan, n_p, tumbler

BLUE: dctyj, cat, ffao, Scon, deus

dcfyj

t? lol

Shiro

17:35

n_palum

I goofed

Also these teams :O

Mike Q

Wait, what happened to the link where the SMs can see the colored board?

dcfyj

It's there

Deusovi

It's on the starboard. Just farther down.

Sconibulus

dcfyj

17:37

Empire State Building (3)

Deusovi

SKYSCRAPER

dcfyj

blue

Sconibulus

Iron and Glass?

Business Cat

I'd say America

Maybe

Deusovi

hm, I was thinking America

ffao

17:38

+1 America

Deusovi

but iron/glass sound plausible

AMERICA

Sconibulus

America also seems likely

dcfyj

blue

Sconibulus

although it might be hard to do skyscraper without incidentally doing iron/glass

so maybe that doesn't mean anything

Business Cat

Very loose: King

Deusovi

17:39

KING KONG would do it

Business Cat

Because EMPIRE State specifically

Or King Kong yeah

Deusovi

wait, KING's a word!

KING

dcfyj

blue

Deusovi

[passing]

Shiro

n_palum

17:40

Hmph

Business Cat

brb

dcfyj

@MikeQ ?

Mike Q

Yeah, just gimme a sec

Temperature, 2

Tumbler41

snow?

n_palum

Mercury for sure

Thermometers

Tumbler41

17:43

ah yeah

glove

n_palum

Why glove

Mercury

Tumbler41

You put on gloves to warm your hands when it's cold.

dcfyj

red

Mike Q

Mercury is RED

n_palum

ehh not crazy about that

Tumbler41

17:45

so, what... snow?

n_palum

Water > snow > glove

In what order I'd guess them

Hot/Cold water, Ocean water temp

Tumbler41

Eh, sure. Whatever

n_palum

Water

dcfyj

blue

Mike Q

Water is BLUE

thecoder16

17:47

why hello there can i join

Mike Q

:(

n_palum

@_@

dcfyj

River (3)

thecoder16

can i join red? it seems red has less members than blue...

Tumbler41

sure

Sconibulus

17:48

Stream and Bank?

Deusovi

yeah

STREAM

dcfyj

blue

Deusovi

BANK

!board

dcfyj

Blue

Shiro

Deusovi

17:48

hm... tap?

like a faucet?

kinda vague but I don't have any other ideas

oh wait, duck?

thecoder16

wow what happened to red

ffao

duck is better than tap imo

dcfyj

They guessed a blue word

Sconibulus

duck, snow(melt), scuba?

Deusovi

yeah, agreed about duck vs tap

Business Cat

17:49

Duck or ship

Sconibulus

ship could be also

ffao

yep, duck or ship, don't see any other

Business Cat

Scuba diver is a stretch, that would be in the ocean

Sconibulus

lakes are pretty common as well, or quarries, but yeah, not often running water

ducks I think are more likely to lakes or ponds as well

ffao

I have the impression that ships are also more common in sea

Deusovi

17:51

^

Sconibulus

maybe just pass?

ffao

and "river duck" is definitely a thing

Deusovi

I say we go duck if we do pick something

Business Cat

Agreed

Sconibulus

Buffalo is probably on a river

Deusovi

17:52

...wait

there's a buffalo river

ffao

there is? I vote for pass then

Deusovi

yeah

I think so, at least

...wait, is dcfyj from America?

Sconibulus

I'm sure there is, I'm just not sure how notable it is

ffao

well, you two know it, maybe dcfyj does as well

I'm just not American

n_palum

Buffalos lived by rivers

Sconibulus

17:53

I think River Buffalo is also a critter

but I say pass

Deusovi

yeah, agreed on passing

we have some likely candidates

[passing]

n_palum

Some rivers go in circles

Shiro

Deusovi

...no, that is not a thing rivers can do

Mike Q

Christmas, 4

Sconibulus

17:54

I think it was in an Escher painting :)

Tumbler41

snow

date maybe?

n_palum

Yeah snow.. maybe date

thecoder16

snow definintely

maybe date

Tumbler41

church

Deusovi

everyone knows about the annual tradition of the Christmas Duck

Tumbler41

17:55

Start with snow?

n_palum

I'd be on board with church too

thecoder16

start with snow

n_palum

Snow

Sconibulus

Duck's super tasty

Mike Q

Snow is RED

thecoder16

17:55

date next

n_palum

I like church over date

thecoder16

glass, as in glass ornaments?

ffao

@Deusovi is that tradition honored in Buffalo?

Sconibulus

Bomb is pretty Futuramish

n_palum

But I think they're both right. And I would not argue glass at all

thecoder16

17:56

i do eat duck on christmas honestly

Business Cat

I'm pretty sure they celebrate Christmas in Germany

Tumbler41

Ship is a bit tenuous, but "I saw three ships on Christmas day" is a song

n_palum

Church

Mike Q

Church is RED

n_palum

Date as well?

thecoder16

17:57

date

do it

n_palum

I also think we should go back on the first clue

Tumbler41

DATE

Mike Q

Date is RED

Business Cat

And you have to IRON your clothes so you can look good for your family

thecoder16

and now try glass, i guess

any objecttions?

Tumbler41

17:57

I think snow was for the first clue

Um

Techidiot

Post card?

Tumbler41

Not so sure about glass

n_palum

Oh maybe..

No I still object to glass.

Sconibulus

I write Code that only works in Magical Christmas-lnad

thecoder16

well then what

n_palum

17:58

!board

Shiro

Tumbler41

My next guess would be ship.

thecoder16

it actually could be duck

Tumbler41

that's.... true

thecoder16

remmebr one from temperature

if we want to do that first

Tumbler41

17:59

I think temp was for merc and snow

n_palum

I agree snow may have been temp, and christmas was just reassuring it

Techidiot

I think it could be either post or may be glove(as in sock)

thecoder16

i like glove

shall we try glove?

n_palum

I don't like glove or post, I'd be more towards passing
