00:00

Give us a (1), Deusovi.

Let 'em have a sporting chance.

Rubio

Too late. he already gave you a (1)

ffao

!board

Shiro

Rand al'Thor

Yellow = Muggle?

thecoder16

i'm pretty sure a person named bill someone knows karate

incesterror21

00:00

Karate is an empty hand If I remember correctly

Deusovi

Yellow words don't benefit either team.

Rand al'Thor

Ninja?

ffao

I'm tempted to go ninja

Rand al'Thor

Surely ninja.

incesterror21

Could also be beat really

Rubio

00:01

@ffao on a yellow word you can have the bot insta-announce it's yellow and post up the board. :)

Rand al'Thor

@ffao I ninja'ed you ;-)

thecoder16

or any word, for that matter

incesterror21

Wouldn't he have hinted sth like stealth for ninja?

Something more obvious?

Rand al'Thor

@incesterror21 He's devious, not obvious.

ffao

this is Deusovi, not Obusovi

incesterror21

00:02

Right, almost forgot

Rand al'Thor

ninja

Deusovi

NINJA is blue.

Rubio

shocking

incesterror21

There is also Kill Bill

but probably not Karate

Rand al'Thor

[passing]

Shiro

00:03

Rand al'Thor

Someone's gotta hurry things up around here :-)

n_palum

DJ (Unlimited)

thecoder16

n_p, i swear if you clue another 0...

welp

Rubio

BEAT

n_palum

Red

ffao

00:03

Red scored! :o

Rubio

yay.

Rand al'Thor

Is there a famous DJ called Rose?

thecoder16

pie then?

DJ snake, dj nate, tiesto, and a bunch of edm producers i know

Rubio

Beyond that, given our success thus far at figuring out what n_p thinks one can purchase, I'm not sure what to do anymore.

thecoder16

well lets yolo some more

PIE

Rubio

00:04

I guess pie

n_palum

Red

thecoder16

oh check? purchase with a check?

Rubio

the clue is purchaseable

n_palum

@Deusovi I think you're going to win for once vs me ;)

thecoder16

but n_p is "so insane that we are screwed anyway"

Rubio

00:05

You think?

thecoder16

need t-shirt

Deusovi

@n_palum I've won against you before, no? We've played at least four games. You won the first two, and I won at least one of the others.

thecoder16

STOCK

i'm done if this isn't red

n_palum

Red!

Rubio

same

n_palum

00:05

@Deusovi I only recall 3..

thecoder16

board plz

Rubio

ok so

Rand al'Thor

@thecoder16 Isn't that the kind of leader people are voting for these days?

n_palum

I think I made them guess assassin once actually..

!board

Rand al'Thor

!board

Shiro

00:06

thecoder16

@n_palum no that's me

straw? shall we?

n_palum

@Randal'Thor I'd assume you don't have permissions to command her

Rubio

do you really buy straw?

Rand al'Thor

@n_palum Oh, one needs special permissions?

Rubio

I mean you can, but

Rand al'Thor

00:06

@Rubio Only Jack Straw.

thecoder16

STRAW

n_palum

@Randal'Thor ffao has a whitelist

Rubio

wh..

n_palum

Red!

ffao

it's weird, because he gets super-user permissions automatically because he's blue, but he doesn't get regular permissions

thecoder16

00:07

i'm done thinking when n_p is clueing

go by instinct

n_palum

Lmao

ffao

the kinds of things you do when you code a bot in one night

thecoder16

can i edit code for you @ffao

Rubio

we have 4 left?

n_palum

No you have to guess still

3 left

Rand al'Thor

00:07

@ffao Yeah, I guess I'm used to Smokey, where anyone who's blue automatically gets bot privs.

ffao

you can, Sp3000, boboquack, numbermaniac and Wen1now already have contributions in the bot: github.com/ffao/Shiro

thecoder16

4 left, shall we try? :P

n_palum

still 3 left

Sid

Unlimited clue, eh?

thecoder16

3 left?

Rubio

00:08

we can't get 'em all

Rand al'Thor

2 left for us :-]

Rubio

we haven't had enough clues

thecoder16

we have 1 more from purchaseable

Rand al'Thor

@thecoder16 Three left = "th". Oh, wait, I thought this was a CCCC.

thecoder16

actaully we don't

Rubio

00:09

!board

Shiro

Rubio

oh yeah 3 left. welp

thecoder16

if we pass we are screwed though

shall we take a 1/11 shot

Rubio

we've got nothing to lose, eh

Deusovi

it's not 1/11

Rand al'Thor

00:10

@Rubio Hang on, don't you guys have 8 total?

Rubio

it's 1/10

Sid

Red to get 9?

thecoder16

oh yeah

incesterror21

Grasping at straws ?

n_palum

I'd like to reiterate 0 means that the word given is unrelated but that doesn't mean it's solely that

Deusovi

00:10

red, if you guess randomly, you have a .6% chance of winning

good luck!

Rubio

sweet!

thecoder16

i want to go vet

Rubio

"Never tell me the odds"

thecoder16

for no reasons whatsoever

shall we?

Sid

A miracle is what seems impossible but might happen anyway.

Rubio

00:11

Why vet?

thecoder16

can i just yolo vet based on coin flips and randomness

Rubio

hell I don't care

go for it

thecoder16

VET

n_palum

Red!

thecoder16

...

ffao

00:11

@n_palum sneaky hint...

thecoder16

i think our odds just increased by about 40%

ffao

you're not supposed to do that

Deusovi

@n_palum you really shouldn't've said that

incesterror21

I bet thecoder16 is good with women

Deusovi

that's cheating

Rand al'Thor

00:12

Well, huh.

thecoder16

lol

n_palum

What I'm explaining the rules! People keep forgetting what it means!

Rand al'Thor

I assumed VET was out for being too related to feline.

thecoder16

@n_palum can you refresh the rules for us again :P

n_palum

I didn't think it was that out of place...

Deusovi

00:12

Sure, but your explanation can give people clues what to do.

Rubio

I didn't make that assumption at all, for whatever that matters.

n_palum

You explained 0 as the same thing as unlimited which was wrong..

Deusovi

For instance, if I decided suddenly to remind my teammates that they had the option to pass, that'd be suspicious.

Rubio

His explanation gave me nothing

Rand al'Thor

SPYMASTER FIGHT!

thecoder16

00:13

ding ding

Rubio

so - let's avoid in no particular order and for no particular reason DECK and ROSE and CAT

n_palum

Well yeah it would be... but you led my team astray already D:

Rubio

wanna pick something else?

thecoder16

BILL

Rubio

oh also MOLE

Deusovi

00:13

BILL is neutral.

n_palum

....

thecoder16

welp, it was a good run :P

Deusovi

Blue: CARDS, 1

Rubio

yeah.

n_palum

!board

Rand al'Thor

00:14

Deck, surely.

Shiro

ffao

why did no one trust me on deck for magician? :(

incesterror21

@ffao was probably right about deck earlier

Rubio

no. Green cards. Geez

thecoder16

you check in poker

Rand al'Thor

00:14

You reds leading us astray

thecoder16

cards can be blown by the wind

Rand al'Thor

puts all members of red team on ignore

Rubio

lol

Rand al'Thor

deck

n_palum

Blue

incesterror21

00:15

You also need a green card to meet Deusovi

thecoder16

lol

Rubio

ok so

Deusovi

That's game.

Rubio

@n_palum WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. HELL. :)

Deusovi

@Rubio I know you were thinking of the magician/rose stereotype. I was willing to take that risk, especially because "deck" was more obvious

Rand al'Thor

00:15

@incesterror21 I'm worried he's going to say "the other team (1)" to clue green.

n_palum

I HAD TO GIVE YOU MORE GUESSES TO CATCH UP

thecoder16

@n_palum WHAT THE LEGIT SHIT WERE YOU REFFERING TO

n_palum

ALSO THAT BOARD WAS SO RIGGED!!!!!

thecoder16

with purchasable

Deusovi

originally, I was actually gonna say TESLA, 3 for BATTERY/GENIUS/SPELL (Wizard of Menlo)

ffao

00:16

@Rubio it was a hint that because he outlawed "feline" and not "animal", you had one animal-related word

Rand al'Thor

Wait, what is everyone yelling about?

Deusovi

then battery suddenly disappeared

n_palum

I WAS GIVEN VET AND MOLE WITH CAT AS AN ASSASSIN AND CHICK AS NEUTRAL

Deusovi

@Randal'Thor red team's mad at n_p

thecoder16

DO DIGLETT

Rubio

00:16

@Deusovi I could have seen cat, rose, or deck on that. I knew it was deck, but could have made legit cases for any of the 3 :)

thecoder16

or whatever that thign is called

Rand al'Thor

@Deusovi Can everyone see the full board now suddenly?

Sid

@n_palum sincere condolences.

Deusovi

@Rubio I don't get the "cat" thing.

Rand al'Thor

Because I can't.

ffao

00:16

!finalboard

n_palum

Okay. So purchaseable I wanted STRAW ROSE STOCK and PIE

Deusovi

No, but I'll upload the full board if you're curious

Shiro

thecoder16

@Randal'Thor no, we are yelling at n_p for being stupid

Deusovi

oh that's a thing

that works too

thecoder16

00:17

@ffao cool feature

n_palum

FELINE (0) MEANT DONT DO CAT, GET THE LAST TWO ANIMAL WORDS

VET AND MOLE!

ffao

and chick.

thecoder16

THATS NOT WHAT IT MEANS

Deusovi

@n_palum that's a bit unreasonable to intuit

Rand al'Thor

@n_palum I suspected you were going for something clever like BILL, CHECK, STOCK, and something (you know, monetary-related things).

Rubio

00:17

yeah, that's completely not what that clue means

ffao

it wasn't unreasonable at all after the hint, but you really should not have said that

thecoder16

THATS SO OBVIOUS WHY WOULD YOU NOT

Rubio

and you gave a (4) for something where fully 8 words were purchaseable items

Deusovi

^

yeah that was "hey everyone read my mind"

n_palum

I was ambitious

thecoder16

00:18

yes

Rand al'Thor

@Deusovi VTC: too broad.

ffao

what was our fourth CAVE, Deusovi?

Deusovi

it was GENIUS - any of you played Portal?

(it was a stretch, but I figured you all would pass, and maybe recognize it later)

n_palum

The red words were just so awful I just yolo'd a lot of that

Rand al'Thor

Oh hey, @Rubio the misleader was right!

ffao

00:19

I did, but I don't recall anything of the sort

incesterror21

Rose, straw and match are all stick-y somehow

Deusovi

@ffao Portal 2?

ffao

no, only Portal

Rand al'Thor

45 mins ago, by Rubio

Troglodytes are totally cave GENIUSes.

Deusovi

there's a character named Cave Johnson in Portal 2 - CEO of Aperture

Rand al'Thor

00:19

@Deusovi VTC: too much trivia.

I don't even know what Portal is.

Rubio

Cave Johnson is hilarious, but I'm not sure I'd call him a genius

Deusovi

Like I said, I didn't expect you all to get it immediately. I expected those three and a pass, then maybe recognition afterwards from one or two of you.

@Randal'Thor It's a puzzle video game. It's good.

incesterror21

@Randal'Thor Deusovi is right

Rand al'Thor

Next time I'll be spymaster and give you all obscure fantasy novel references :->

incesterror21

Spymaster, 9

ffao

00:20

sure, if you want us all to be confused and lose :>

Rubio

Sure, as long as you're spymaster for the team I'm not on, go for it

Rand al'Thor

9?

Nein!

incesterror21

German virgin?

ffao

BLUE: Blue's Clues, 8

Deusovi

@Randal'Thor oh, and like I said, I planned on picking up GENIUS with TESLA next

thecoder16

00:22

can i spymaster

Rubio

@deus cat as a familiar, or as an animagus's animal form in Harry Potter or other similar stories. it was a distant 3rd

thecoder16

i'll be better then n_p at least

Rand al'Thor

@incesterror21 Dunno. Not sure if I've met any of those ;-)

incesterror21

It's a phrase from poker I believe

Rubio

They're like unicorns? Fabled to exist but nobody's ever met one?

incesterror21

00:23

@Rubio Still chasing after the cat?

Rubio

I won't be chasing after my cat all that much longer, alas.

Sid

@Rubio how is she? Any improvement?

n_palum

I'd give an excuse but I'd probably be better off just saying whoops and moving along :P

thecoder16

lol

Rubio

He, and not something a cat really improves from. He's actually quite healthy, large swollen tumor on his leg notwithstanding, but of course that won't be the case for a lot longer.

incesterror21

00:26

"notwithstanding" is weirdly accurate

Rubio

heh. I'm not even sure he notices it. Other than being madly hungry of late he doesn't behave any differently or even favor it

But it is sad to see our animal friends ill. He will be missed, most definitely.

Anyway.

incesterror21

Make a cat riddle, it'll help

Rubio

Starting a new round?

incesterror21

I'm out, see you all next time

Rubio

@incesterror21 I already did that :)

Rand al'Thor

00:29

@Rubio I hope it had "pray" in the title?

thecoder16

are we doing another?

Rubio

Q: A Riddle for a Friend of Mine

My eye is not quite precious. My ear is not quite a dandy lion. My tongue is not quite barbed. My whiskers are flowery. My vocalization is something remarkable. My hand is used by another. My tail might be eaten, built on, or lived in. My sleeping place is a manipulative game. ...

riddle

ffao

I can guess

Rubio

That was about a week before the tumor appeared

Rand al'Thor

@Rubio Edit to "Pray for a Friend of Mine"?

thecoder16

00:31

do it and i will +1 :P

Rubio

Meh. I may. Or I may just do another one.

thecoder16

random fun fact my nightmare riddle came when i had a dream where in the morning i was left with the phrase dark horse

for some odd reason

Rubio

Welp. I hope I didn't kill the gaming spirit.

Anyone up for another?

o/

Rand al'Thor

It's a bit too late at night for me, I think.

Y. Zhang

04:09

hello

Rubio

Hello

Wen1now

hElLo

Wen1now

04:42

A game, anyone?

Wen1now

05:17

Does anybody want to play a game?

Sp3000

05:28

Probs not enough people tbh

Wen1now

Good point

Wen1now

05:52

Does anybody want a game now?

Wen1now

07:45

Why is Saturday/Sunday so quiet?

Sp3000

Not sure, probably less people procrastinating during work? (or getting other things done that they couldn't do on a weekday, since they have larger blocks of time that can be allocated)

Rubio

16:23

Weekends have been quiet for the entire time I've been here, for whatever reason. Perhaps the younger set have more fun things to do on weekends, and the older set are not distracting themselves from work and are off doing Family Things

Jan Dvorak

16:53

younger set here, fun thing done, can play :-D

thecoder16

17:14

n_palum
