RED: Mike Q, n_p, Lithos, Cat

BLUE: dcfyj, Scon, ffao, Jan

Business Cat

Meow

Who starts

n_palum

Not sure if Lithos is actually here, so may just be us Cat

@MikeQ starts

Mike Q

.....

ffao

I might have to leave soon, so the teams are balanced

Jan Dvorak

.....

Mike Q

19:04

Grassland, 3

n_palum

Hmmm.. So Africa

Maybe Yard, maybe Hawk

You're not on this team Jan

Jan Dvorak

oh, oops

n_palum

AFRICA

Mike Q

Africa is RED

Jan Dvorak

Pretend I said nothing

n_palum

19:06

@BusinessCat anything?

Business Cat

Ummm

n_palum

I like yard

Business Cat

Yard sounds good

n_palum

YARD

Mike Q

Yard is RED

n_palum

19:06

Court as in Courtyard maybe

Sconibulus

Olive seems plausible

for the colour

Business Cat

Mine as in landmine? Probably too much of a stretch

n_palum

Maybe..

Business Cat

You'd put them in flat places usually

n_palum

I feel like Grassland is specific

Hawks sometimes hunt in grasslands

Kritixi Lithos

19:08

perhaps olive

n_palum

I'm okay with either Hawk/Court/Mine, distant Olive

Jan Dvorak

oh, hi Krit

Business Cat

I'm not that confident in mine honestly

I think hawk

They hunt like small rodents usually right?

n_palum

Mhm like mice

Jan Dvorak

or pigeons

n_palum

19:10

HAWK

just keep it movin

Mike Q

Hawk is BLUE

Business Cat

Wow

Sconibulus

hi five

Business Cat

Jan triple agented us

Jan Dvorak

hi five

n_palum

19:10

I don't know what to believe anymore

dcfyj

ARROW (2)

Business Cat

!board

Deusovi

hey! sorry I had to go earlier, had a meeting

Shiro

Jan Dvorak

bow

dcfyj

19:11

@Deusovi pick a team

Jan Dvorak

fly, maybe?

Sconibulus

Bow and maybe Fly?

n_palum

@Deusovi Unforgivable

Sconibulus

is Arrow of Change a thing?

n_palum

Also I was right to guess PORT last game ;)

Jan Dvorak

19:12

That's a wind of change

n_palum

We would've won

Deusovi

I read that. Surprised me - I was sure that if it had been PORT, then the clue would've been WINE

dcfyj

you assumed too much

n_palum

Again back to my point that BG may have heard the term, but may not know what it is

Jan Dvorak

@dcfyj disagreed. It was a bad clue.

Deusovi

19:13

@ffao - Shiro needs a coin flip command

I can't decide which team to join :P

Jan Dvorak

Join us. FFAO's leaving soon.

Sconibulus

Bow

dcfyj

@JanDvorak Beverage? I would've gone for port/draft immediately

blue

n_palum

Lithos isn't really around for us, ffao may be leaving so

Mike Q

Shhh @dcfyj

Deusovi

19:13

@dcfyj but DRAFT wasn't a beverage one

Sconibulus

do we like Fly, or do we think it might be Change or something else?

dcfyj

I know

Jan Dvorak

I don't like change

Sconibulus

@ffao?

Deusovi

I'll join blue, I guess

dcfyj

19:14

You just want to talk about the clue :P

Deusovi

Also, "arrow of change" isn't a thing. You're probably thinking of "arrow of time"

maaaaybe

Jan Dvorak

maaaybe

Sconibulus

arrow of time is definitely a thing :)

Deusovi

I like FLY

Jan Dvorak

FLY

dcfyj

19:15

Blue

Sconibulus

I'm pretty sure I've heard the other, but I'm not certain if it's mangled idiom

Jan Dvorak

crosses fingers

Sconibulus

cool

pass?

Jan Dvorak

[PASS]

Shiro

Jan Dvorak

19:15

Unless we've hit another coincidence, that is

Sconibulus

after all, time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana

Mike Q

RED: Hardware, 4

Jan Dvorak

ooh fun

n_palum

Oooo

BOLT

Mike Q

Bolt is RED

dcfyj

19:17

red

Deusovi

...that reminds me of Weird Al's Hardware Store

Business Cat

File

Deusovi

a great song

dcfyj

hahaha

n_palum

I like cap too

dcfyj

19:17

I haven't heard that in a while

Business Cat

As in a rasp

Jan Dvorak

a jockey is a hard wear for his MOUNT

n_palum

Maybe screen.. or mine

File and Cap though?

GentlePurpleRain

@n_palum Out.

Business Cat

Yep

n_palum

19:18

FILE

Mike Q

;_;

dcfyj

blue :)

thecoder16

YES MY DATE CLASS WORKS

n_palum

BOI

NOT NOW CODER

thecoder16

oops wrong chat sorry

dcfyj

19:19

POMPEII (2)

n_palum

Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiike

Jan Dvorak

!board

Shiro

Sconibulus

Boom and Rome?

Jan Dvorak

sounds good

Deusovi

19:20

pff

wait

MOUNT

Sconibulus

Mount would be Vesuvius, right?

Jan Dvorak

actually, how far apart are Rome from Pompeii?

Deusovi

sure, but that was kind of important

n_palum

Which went off because of a mine inside it

nature changes a lot

Jan Dvorak

boom seems good though

n_palum

19:20

I think spiders died in pompeii

Sconibulus

@JanDvorak They're not that close, but it was part of the Roman Empire

Jan Dvorak

Change hit my mind, yeah

Sconibulus

a couple hundred miles I think?

Jan Dvorak

boom and mount[ain], then?

Sconibulus

well, I guess that is pretty close

Deusovi

19:21

that would be ERUPTION, not POMPEII, no?

Sconibulus

yeah, boom and mountain isn't right

the question is if it's mount rome, or boom rome I think :)

Deusovi

yup

wanna go ROME then?

Jan Dvorak

Overthinking has killed us once already today

Deusovi

just to confirm?

Sconibulus

sure

Deusovi

19:22

@JanDvorak you're welcome

ROME

dcfyj

blue

Jan Dvorak

you're right, though. Pompeii seems like a weak clue for boom/mount

Deusovi

I think BOOM is right

Jan Dvorak

sorry

BOOM

Sconibulus

Boom is funnier, but Mount might be righter?

Mike Q

19:23

Yellow

dcfyj

...

Jan Dvorak

mount/rome then

Deusovi

welp

n_palum

Lol

Deusovi

at least it wasn't red or the assassin

Jan Dvorak

19:23

They have given us two words already, though

Deusovi

@dcfyj That verse is stuck in my head - I've practically memorized it

dcfyj

haha, nice

Deusovi

"They've got allen wrenches, gerbil feeders, toilet seats, electric heaters, trash compactors, juice extractors, shower rods and water meters..."

Mike Q

RED: Machine, 5

dcfyj

I've got music from Moana going through my head, last two days actually (since I watched it)

Jan Dvorak

19:25

Red is getting desperate :-D

!board

Shiro

Business Cat

Hum

Sconibulus

Wild Wild West was all about Mechanical Spiders

n_palum

Moana is good

Business Cat

Satellite

n_palum

19:25

@Deusovi you watch SU?

Business Cat

Code

Deusovi

yeah, I did - it was great

Business Cat

Screen

Deusovi

watched it last night

n_palum

I like satellite and screen

dcfyj

19:26

@n_palum My wife and I bought it on a whim

Mike Q

Hush!

dcfyj

SU?

Business Cat

A spider is a sort of motorized vehicle I think

n_palum

SATELLITE

Deusovi

Steven Universe. It's a cartoon, and it's really good

Mike Q

19:26

Satellite is RED

dcfyj

Ah

n_palum

@dcfyj I saw it in theatres :P

@Deusovi Yeah it was pretty good but now I need moar

Deusovi

SAME

n_palum

SCREEN

Mike Q

Screen is RED

n_palum

19:27

CAP

dcfyj

blue

n_palum

ARE YOU SHTAISHTYAYF

Jan Dvorak

Yay!

Deusovi

cap???

Mike Q

?!?!?!

n_palum

19:27

Hardware and Machine and Cap is blue?

dcfyj

Tides (1)

n_palum

Hub Cap, Cap on Bolts, Hardhat

Mike Q

--

Deusovi

!board

who went first?

Jan Dvorak

tides could be moon

Sconibulus

19:28

Moon, I assume

and then we go Mount?

Jan Dvorak

yep

Deusovi

yeah

Sconibulus

Red went first, I'm pretty sure

Mike Q

^

dcfyj

We only need 2

they need 4

Jan Dvorak

19:29

mount + moon could be rock, too, but SM might be avoiding well

Deusovi

!board

dcfyj

maybe she died again

Deusovi

...I think Shiro's taking a nap

Shiro

dcfyj

there she goes

Sconibulus

19:30

I think we'd get a 2 clue if Mount was wrong

Deusovi

oh there

yeah, definitely a 2 if mount were wrong

Jan Dvorak

Mount then

Deusovi

MOON

dcfyj

blue

Deusovi

MOUNT

dcfyj

19:30

Blue

Mike Q

By the gods n_p what ever happened to discussing things

Sconibulus

Mount Moon could totally be Clefairy though :)

dcfyj

and win :P

n_palum

I Swear if you have CODE for blue imma reach through this screen and smack you

Jan Dvorak

Discussing things is overrated

dcfyj

19:31

@Sconibulus I didn't clue mount again, because I knew they knew it

n_palum

It's just me and Cat and we had discussed all of those at some point

Sconibulus

I know

Deusovi

^

Mike Q

Grasslands = Africa, Yard, Mine

Deusovi

sometimes a 1 clue is better than a 2 clue

n_palum

19:31

We were going to get to Mine

dcfyj

I thought about clueing NIGHT (2) for moon/cap but I was worried about assassin court

Sconibulus

Grasslands 3 was Mine?

Jan Dvorak

grasslands/mine seems poor

Mike Q

Hardware = Satellite, Screen, Mine, Bolt

Sconibulus

I was sure it was Bermuda

Mike Q

19:31

Yeah well whatever

Business Cat

I thought of it though :P

Mike Q

Er wait, Code was also one of them

No idea what to do for spider

dcfyj

web?

Jan Dvorak

machine spider might have worked, too

Sconibulus

Machine was Change? With all that on the board?

n_palum

19:32

Cat did think of spider

Sconibulus

I threw spider out being silly

Business Cat

iirc a Spider is like a 4-wheeled moped or something

dcfyj

right

n_palum

Had we had less to guess from, Spider would have been probable.. also dwarven spiders, skyrim

Mike Q

I was going to do web but FILE was there

n_palum

19:33

A file is hardware

Sconibulus

File is a tool

Mike Q

A file is software

dcfyj

@BusinessCat Acutally I think it's a tri-motorcycle with the 2 wheels in front

Deusovi

like a nail file

Sconibulus

one of the better ones at that

n_palum

19:33

^^ or similar to a sander

Mike Q

...Huh. True.

Business Cat

Yeah something along those lines

Jan Dvorak

> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_Strike_Vehicle_(Singapore)

dcfyj

If I said NIGHT what would be the first things you though of?

Mike Q

Machine was Satellite, Screen, Code, Mine, and Change

Jan Dvorak

19:34

moon would be a good night

Deusovi

you could've just done LUNAR for moon :P

Jan Dvorak

I wouldn't think of a court

dcfyj

Night court is a thing

n_palum

How was Machine or Hardware = to code

Jan Dvorak

@Deusovi that's scraping the rules IMO

Mike Q

19:34

I figured the last clue would have been Olympus Mons

Machine code? n_p

Jan Dvorak

@n_palum machine code

Deusovi

@JanDvorak no it's not

thecoder16

synonyms are defniitely allowed

Deusovi

^

n_palum

Okay fair for that, but I was so thrown off by hardware

Deusovi

19:35

you can clue BUG as INSECT and vice versa

they're near-synonyms

Jan Dvorak

would Luna be fine then?

Deusovi

sure

dcfyj

Am I the only one that knows the term Night cap?

Deusovi

although if LUNAR was a word, then LUNA would not be fine

n_palum

Okay I'm out for now, either my brain is going to explode, or my blood pressure will rise to high and I'll burst

thecoder16

19:35

unless luna is moon in a different language

Deusovi

it is

dcfyj

spelled the same though

Jan Dvorak

I've heard of a night cap, but I wouldn't have thought of it probably

thecoder16

but is it english?

dcfyj

ah

thecoder16

19:36

because clueing "trabajo" for work seems cheap and lazy

Deusovi

ah - clues have to be English IIRC

dcfyj

@thecoder16 luna lovegood? hehe

Jan Dvorak

> Luna is the Latin name for the Moon

Deusovi

you could do Luna as a name

Tumbler41

@Deusovi Are homonyms allowed?

thecoder16

19:36

i guess

Mike Q

@Tumbler41 No

Deusovi

@Tumbler41 Sure!

Mike Q

Wait what?

Deusovi

Homonyms are same spelling, different meaning

Tumbler41

Lol

dcfyj

19:37

When red guessed cap it made my life so much easier

Mike Q

Derp, I was thinking homophones

Deusovi

like "box" as in container vs punch

Tumbler41

No homonyms are same sound differnet spelling I thought. Am I wrong?

Deusovi

that's why they chose a lot of these words - so many of them are homonyms

nah, that's homophones

Jan Dvorak

those are homophones

Deusovi

19:37

phone for sound - same sound

Mike Q

homoPHONE = same sound

homoNYM = same word/name

Deusovi

and those are... questionable. we've been playing where they aren't allowed

dcfyj

Like night for knight is a no-no

Mike Q

Gnu game?

dcfyj

I've not much time so not SM

Tumbler41

19:39

KK I figured

Sconibulus

I can probably do one more

Jan Dvorak

I'll watch

Sconibulus

could sm too

dcfyj

I'll join yellow team :P

Mike Q

So we got scon, dc, me.. who else is in?

Deusovi

19:41

o/

Business Cat

o/

thecoder16

here

dcfyj

I find it amusing that no matter where I go with this username, people will eventually abbreviate to "dc" hehe

thecoder16

what is your username mean?

does

dcfyj

It's for me to know and for you to most likely never find out :P

thecoder16

19:45

for me, i always go a two word username

it's interesting how people always use the second word

Mike Q

but yours is 3 words: the, coder, 16

Deusovi

well, the first is "the"

thecoder16

of course, i don't expect to be called the

but other places, other words

i go by SemiAddicted in various games

people call me addict lol

Sconibulus

well, 'half' could be considered an insult

Deusovi

as opposed to "addict", which has no negative connotations whatsoever

Jan Dvorak

19:47

@the has only two hits in this room

thecoder16

how does that ping me

@d

dcfyj

You only need the first 3 letters to ping

thecoder16

did that ping

dcfyj

no

Deusovi

yeah, and I think it defaults to the one who last spoke in case of ambiguity

Sconibulus

19:48

I think it pings everyone in ambiguity

Deusovi

oh, does it? huh

Mike Q

@***

Deusovi

as for username stuff, this is the username I use pretty much everywhere - I have two others, one that I don't use anymore (except on Reddit, where I'd change if I weren't too lazy) and one that I only use on Tumblr (dunno why, it just sorta happened)

dcfyj

We'd need two people with matching first 3 to test methinks

Deusovi

I'm sure neither of the others are hard to find if you're really determined, but there's not much interesting on either of them

dcfyj

19:49

I could search with your real name instead :P

thecoder16

is one of the others possibly doviseu? :P

Deusovi

yeah, you could, and you'd get even less there

Mike Q

void use?

dcfyj

haha nice

thecoder16

devious

Deusovi

19:50

@thecoder16 that's where it comes from :P

thecoder16

pun intended

dcfyj

anyhow, I've no time for a game now leaving in less than 10 minutes

Deusovi

see ya!

Mike Q

adios @dcf

dcfyj

I'm not gone yet lol

(and yes that did ping me)

Business Cat

19:51

I have ~40 minutes so I can if it's not super long

thecoder16

i can

dcfyj

although I don't know why people don't use tab to autocomplete the ping

Deusovi

as for the real name stuff, it's not like some sort of meticulously planned thing. I just don't use it for much on the internet.

Sconibulus

tab might be wrong

Deusovi

yeah, I usually autocomplete

thecoder16

19:52

i autocomplete by clicking

dcfyj

You can hit it multiple times to get the one you want...

thecoder16

@DestructibleLemon

dcfyj

Who's that?

thecoder16

oops ping but hmm i didn;t know that

i was tabbing @d

dcfyj

ah, you didn't have to hit enter lol

Mike Q

19:53

They must have been in the chat recently enough that their names are still listed here

dcfyj

Yup

Mike Q

And now they'll receive a message from someone randomly pinging them

Sconibulus

code golfer maybe?

thecoder16

hi that's me lol

Deusovi

yeah, DL is a code golfer

thecoder16

19:54

although my golfing is certaintly terrible

dcfyj

@Sconibulus I always use tab to complete, and If it's not the first person on the list, then I hit it however many times I need to to get it where I want it to be :P

thecoder16

i try but never on PPCG because lazy

dcfyj

I browse rpg.se periodically, I hardly get on puzzling anymore ( I just hang out in the chat rooms for it :P) and I almost never get on gamedev

Mike Q

I used to browse rpg.se but found that it's not the most welcoming community

dcfyj

I do have a couple puzzles I should finish building though...

@MikeQ How so?

thecoder16

19:57

i used to do SO until they question banned me

because SO is not very friendly to beginners

Mike Q

Kind of ironic considering your username

thecoder16

heh-still semi-active on code review

Jan Dvorak

neither are beginners friendly to SO

dcfyj

Probably because most (if not all) "beginner" question have already been asked

thecoder16

no-becauses all "beginner" questions get closed and mass downvoted

i started on SO, gained decent rep, got my assoc. bonus, then got question banned

dcfyj

19:58

A lot of the beginner materials can easily be found online

thecoder16

saw puzzling a week ago, said hey, this is fun=

dcfyj

anyhow, now I'm leaving.

Deusovi

alright, bye!

Mike Q

Double adios
