[pass]
Good call @Wen
The fact that it would've been cutlery didn't cross my mind for whatever reason
haha, dinner, 2 will be our next clue
sorry, thinking
No problem
07:02
Can I join now?
(sorry, I've just returned home)
Sure
Pick a team
Eenie-meenie-mynie-mo... Blue
Yay
Welcome aboard
Which team went first?
07:04
Red
So we're ahead one word?
Sid
Sid
As long as we... err.. I don't screw up, yeah.
RED: scalpel, 2
With that clue, I am very amazed that Sid went with "dinner" :P
07:06
You want to lock in KNIFE
KNIFE is pretty definite IMO, tossing up between LAB and VET atm
same
KNIfe
red
That capitalisation
I think I'm more inclined to go VET personally, since LAB could be a lot of things
Your thoughts Wheat?
07:07
yeah
go ahead
VET
red
[pass]
Nice
Sid
Sid
07:08
Blue: Pirates, 2
Hole, pirates bury their treasure in a hole
thief
shi[
*ship
row
eye (as in eyepatch)
Sid
Sid
blue
07:10
^ good idea
I vote... actually none of them look good
Sid
Sid
blue
Wow, @Wen too good
Pass?
Why was the clue plural???
okay, sure
07:11
[pass]
RED: 0, 2
excuse?
is 2 the number?
No, 2 is the clue
0 is the number
So you have unlimited guesses :)
they're both numbers
but the clue is 0
07:13
inb4 automatic pass because 0
How can I be sure its not a capital O?
Actually, it is a capital O
Good spotting
Sid
Sid
@ffao (Love that clue, btw!)
Because of the width of those characters differs
@ffao Yeah, that was a really nice clue
07:14
I mean you can look at the ASCII code or whatever if you're really concerned lol
A game with me as SM would not be complete without weird clues :P
Hey, that's what I did - and guess what, it's a capital O
ffao(5) incoming
ffao, 5 was a bit random
"Blue's words, 8"
07:15
"Good luck, 8"
Hm.
@Wen1now Lol
hm indeed
I say we just jump in
Let's pass
07:16
Let's guess the assassin
red
I have HOLE, EYE for general shape, DAY because "0-day" is a thing, VACUUM for nothingness (but it's not HOLE+EYE specifically)
Oh, nice
@Wen1now btw for your github PR, why not just send_message the amount of clues remaining instead of drawing them?
I want to go with eye
since hole worked
07:17
IMO it looks cooler if they're on the board, not as a message
I don't want to go with EYE
Because EYE+HOLE could be clued less weirdly IMO
Either would work, I guess
did you actually draw and test it? :o
07:19
Ok go ahead
@ffao in the PR he says he couldn't draw it
I can't think of anything
oh, okay :( that would have been epic though
Do you want me to have a go?
if you can't test it I imagine it would be hard for you to do
07:20
Hm... now I'm second guessing myself (what would ffao do...)
well, whatever, do what you want
I'd like it drawn, but you don't have to do it
written is fine
lest pass then
Okay yeah Wheat, let's go with EYE and hope it's at worst neutral?
Eye is the assassin
07:21
EYE
blue...
I'll save my other thoughts for later
... nvm
!board
Sid
Sid
Humph. You just ruined my awesome clue.
Thanks, anyway..
07:22
Yay, go our team
Row has an O in it...
Hmm I didn't think ffao would clue one visually and the other not, but I guess that's the case (sorry ffao)
I'm ready for an awesome clue :)
this.hype()
Sid
Sid
Blue: Linear, 2
Humph. My last clue was so much better..
String
07:25
Is this python?
linear accelerators have vacuums inside them...
@Wen1now No, that is <code>
No, actually that seems like a bad idea
I mean I thought this was javascript
That would be valid JavaScript presumably
07:26
Or was that self?
>>> import this
The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters

Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Okay, sorry, I just haven't done any actual programming much
^ oxymoron alert
So, row and string?
string guys?
Sid
Sid
I need to go for a shower. I leave you in the very capable hands of ffao who will, I am sure, provide an awesome clue in the next turn. Will be back in 15 minutes.
07:27
Why row?
rows are linear too
but string seems better
Oh, right, I was only thinking of the rowing a boat
oh yes import this lol
<code>does this work</code>
Yeah okay string then
<sarcasm>yes</sarcasm>
07:28
use backticks
numbermaniac STRING?
I was just wondering if code tags would work
string
!board
Okay either ROW or... I guess our next guess should be ROW right?
07:30
Blue!
Yeah, I think row
No idea, let's go row
!board
Blue!
07:31
Neat
Pass?
Let's keep guessing, we're on a row!
r/therewasanattempt
I'm tempted to say **[PARSE]**
Because Shiro won't get it
Okay let's passe
07:32
can i join?
!flipcoin
You'll be red I guess
Red
07:32
[PARSE]
Nice, you got red team
@Wen1now it's 2v3 so it has to be red
^^^so we don't get another board
who's in red?
Does Shiro take into account numbers?
!flipcoin
07:33
Red
@Y.Zhang it's on the starboard
@Wen1now No it's just a random choice
@ffao go
That doesn't mean it has to be red right?
!flipcoin
Blue
Hmm
!flipcoin
07:33
!board
Red
No what I mean is Zhang has to join Red because it's currently 2v3 to even it out
Oh, is it?
Sorry, I don't get anything
RED: Enel Fiber, 3
07:34
BLUE: Sid, numbermaniac, Wen1now, boboquack
fibers are strings right?
RED: ffao, Wheat Wizard, Sp3000, Y. Zhang
So you guys should guess string
Note for future spymasters... I don't know who Enel Fiber is
07:35
It's not a who, it's a where
enel fiber is an italian company, so maybe rome?
Cotton by "fiber" sounds good, but unfortunately I don't know who this person is
Enel Fiber is in Rome somewhere I think
I'm for rome
Enel Fiber sounds like a lab
07:35
Rome has done me no bad
I think they're somewhere in Atlantis
We have 3
enel fiber is an italian fiber optic company right?
All clues lead to Rome
07:36
go rome
red
ok so I guess cotton is next?
probably
Oh, you're finally cottoning on.
07:37
If it's a fiber optics company hmmm
search it up on google
I don't think it is
you're not supposed to use google :/
@Y.Zhang Not allowed
really?
i've already heard of it
07:38
@Y.Zhang Yeah Google is considered cheating
What? He searched Enel Fiber on google?
no, he told other people to
but they can't
in geography in school we were talking about communications, which turned into fiber optics and on a tangent I heard about enel fiber
LAB seems pretty plausible, if it's not a company it at least sounds like a scientist? Maybe
yeah
I think its better than cotton
07:40
(I'm also tentatively guessing the missing one for 0 is DAY, but we can leave that for later)
sure.
sure I would use scalpel, 2 if lab were red ¬¬
assassin, gg
07:41
pretty funny actually
Yay, I love getting assassinated
... that's a very fair point, didn't consider past clues :/
Y. Zhang knowing what enel fiber is actually hurt my master plan, I wanted you to guess on fiber, but it was a desperation move anyway :(
07:41
'Enel Fiber sounds like a lab' - tipped it
btw vacuum for 0 right?
it was DAY
I'm still guessing DAY for... yeah
@ffao what did you clue enel fiber for then
cotton, cell
07:42
Trust in ffao as a programmer
Why not just fiber then
cell?
because I needed them to get rome
cotton
Sid
Sid
SO... WHat happened?
07:42
cell
welp
@Sid they guessed the assassin
Sid
Sid
Oh, we won?
2 mins ago, by ffao
assassin, gg
yeah
Could I have clued Rome, Cotton, Cell any better way?
I mean, it wasn't a good clue, I just had to clue them
07:43
I think that was the best you could have done in that situation, I'm actually impressed you managed to drag Rome in
new game?
Sid
Sid
@ffao I was looking at your board and thinking why not clue BUILT for Rome and Day?
I actually missed knife before going for dinner (2)
Too loose going forward, it's the type of clue that's only really more obvious backwards
I knew that there was an idiom about Rome and day
I forgot which one, though :P
Sid
Sid
And I was afraid of going for Pirate because if knife was there, they would have surely guessed that..
But you did me a favour and removed it.
07:46
I also apologise for EYE, should have gone with my initial thought :(
it was easier for blue anyway
I don't think we would have won if you had gone for day instead of eye
Yeah, game-wise it wouldn't have made a difference now that I think about it, but still :P
!displayfinalboard
I can't be SM next game, but I can guess
please ping me if you start a new one
There should be a function like that
07:48
@boboquack Just make one yourself :P
feel free to code it: github.com/ffao/Shiro :P
Sid
Sid
I am off for now. Good day folks..
@boboquack agreed, thought that myself some time ago too
!board
new game?
07:53
Sure
I like how the reds flower around lab
lab is a bad assassin
why couldn't rome be the assassin and lab be red
Blame the algorithm
Given all of ffao's words, I have to say LAB really hurts o_O
07:56
new game?
@numbermaniac @boboquack Are you two in for a game?
@Wen1now in for a game?
I can play
for now
(so I'll need another team member)
