real life getting in the way of puzzling

Sp3000

I can play at lunch, but that'll be in 2 hours :P

Rubio

I find your lack of commitment disturbing

boboquack

I'm here ~ a bit

ffao

The funniest part is that Wen1now set this time but he's never here

Destructible Lemon

00:23

I probably can't be sm

@mikeq @JanDvorak @boboquack Blue is up first. Good luck!

Jan Dvorak

awaiting further instructions

boboquack

Well, a warning that every few minutes the internet is dropping out here

So...

Mike Q

@Rubio Did you click on the blue sm link by mistake? I can't access it.

Jan Dvorak

so you're telling me to solo as much as possible? :-D

Rubio

00:36

I might have, try RED's. this laptop is crap

RED: Rubio, DL, ffao, Gareth McCaughan

boboquack

00:37

Aww... no takers for !join red or !join blue? :P

ffao

as usual, RED team is blue team

Rubio

Blame Deusovi for the apparent color-blindness.

Jan Dvorak

That's not how color blindness works

Gareth McCaughan

In fact, blame Deusovi for everything. I do.

Rubio

We have to follow his lead. So says the ancient code of the Moderati.

boboquack

00:38

Jan Dvorak

Also, the one to blame for any bot issues is FFAO :-P

Helka Homba

I forget how this starts

boboquack

@MikeQ will make a clue...

Jan Dvorak

@HelkaHomba by a five-minute wait for your SM to act :-D

ffao

first clue is always tough, as you've just seen the board

the others tend to be faster

Jan Dvorak

00:40

faster for the SM turns, but slower for the OP turns :-P

Helka Homba

SM?

Jan Dvorak

spymaster

brb

Mike Q

Blue: Smartphone, 5

Jan Dvorak

nice

Gareth McCaughan

off with a bang!

Mike Q

00:43

Or an over-ambitious flop, we'll see

Jan Dvorak

tablet seems related

boboquack

TABLET

Jan Dvorak

TABLET

Mike Q

Blue

boboquack

(MODEL, CHINA?)

Jan Dvorak

00:43

MODEL

Helka Homba

tablet, glass, model, robot?

boboquack

GLASS?

Jan Dvorak

glass seems good.

boboquack

maybe ROBOT, yeah

Helka Homba

play for Google Play?

Jan Dvorak

00:44

not a fan of robot

Gareth McCaughan

is anyone going to tell them whether MODEL was good?

or are we assuming Jan didn't mean to boldface it?

boboquack

!board

Shiro

Jan Dvorak

I did mean that

Mike Q

Ah sorry, thought I said it. Model is BLUE.

Jan Dvorak

00:44

I like play. Bobo?

boboquack

I think glass first

Jan Dvorak

true

GLASS

boboquack

!board

Mike Q

Glass is blue

Jan Dvorak

PLAY

Shiro

00:45

Mike Q

Play is neutral (yellow)

Helka Homba

boboquack

Well, 3 first turn is still great

Jan Dvorak

off to a good start

remaining: smartphone(2)

boboquack

(and since the associations are getting more dodgy, I'd recommend using smartphone as a confirmer, but not to guess)

Jan Dvorak

00:47

depends on what the other clues will be. But we're ahead, yeah

Helka Homba

@JanDvorak I'd guess some of PART/WAKE/CHINA

Jan Dvorak

What's iPad air?

Why wake?

Rubio

RED: NITROGEN (2)

Helka Homba

@JanDvorak laptop iirc

Gareth McCaughan

air, obvs

ffao

00:47

agreed on air

Gareth McCaughan

gas, I guess

Jan Dvorak

Of the three, china seems best but still not great imo

there goes air anyways

Gareth McCaughan

in fact I can't imagine it not being those two unless Rubio just missed one of them

Helka Homba

@JanDvorak you WAKE up your phone a lot

Gareth McCaughan

any objections to air/gas?

actually gas/air just in case air was actually a smartphone word

ffao

00:48

not from me

Gareth McCaughan

GAS

Rubio

GAS is BLUE

Jan Dvorak

@HelkaHomba hmm.. isn't it just unlocking the keyboard?

yay!

Gareth McCaughan

you're fired

Jan Dvorak

:-D

Rubio

00:49

oh sorry

derp

Helka Homba

wow

Rubio

GAS is RED

Gareth McCaughan

ffao

oh, that's better

Jan Dvorak

WAT

Helka Homba

00:49

...

Gareth McCaughan

fired for a different reason, hten

AIR

Rubio

yes

AIR is RED

apparently I really am color-blind ;)

Gareth McCaughan

nothing to do but pass now, I think

ffao

[pass]

Jan Dvorak

This isn't how color blindness works...

Shiro

00:49

Rubio

@JanDvorak I'm well aware. Just go with it.

afk for a minute or 3, brb

Jan Dvorak

:-)

Oh boy, I'm getting a little Hungary.

Helka Homba

nevermind, I can read rules

Jan Dvorak

May 30 at 14:15, by Rubio

Clues: one (possibly hyphenated) word, dictionary phrase, or actual name of actual thing ("New York", "Pride and Prejudice"). Clues must be semantic, not based on spelling or board position.

Helka Homba

It's fun to try to make a sentence boggle-style with the grid

Jan Dvorak

00:52

what counts as a dictionary phrase is always contentious, though

Mike Q

Blue: Rind, 2

Helka Homba

ORANGE

Rubio

if you can find it in a reputable dictionary as such (NOT urbandictionary), you're pretty safe. if you can find it as a wikipedia article name, you're probably safe.

Jan Dvorak

I'm not sure what the word means, so go ahead be bold :-D

Rubio

also, i'm back. ;)

Helka Homba

00:54

ORANGE

Mike Q

Orange is orange and is also blue

Jan Dvorak

brb

Helka Homba

nothing else has rinds

Gareth McCaughan

ever try to peel a platypus?

Jan Dvorak

You can peel with your nail

there are robots that peel fruit, too

Helka Homba

00:56

a hood is a covering

Mike Q

(Note that a team can make +1 additional guess, perhaps to make up for missed words on previous rounds)

Jan Dvorak

Is this a hint that we should? O_o

Helka Homba

oh yeah, want to say PART/WAKE/CHINA

Jan Dvorak

robot for smartphone + rind?

Mike Q

That's not a hint. Spymasters can't give hints.

Rubio

00:57

This is a hint that maybe MikeQ shouldn't say things that might be interpreted as a hint, without saying explicitly that they're not a hint. ;)

Helka Homba

sure, ROBOT

(is bobo gone?)

boboquack

Why is robot rind?

Gareth McCaughan

And this is not a hint at all but a flat statement that Mike shouldn't say such things with or without saying explicitly they aren't hints

Helka Homba

@boboquack robot is smartphone and we had 2 more for that

Jan Dvorak

both seem weak, though

Rubio

00:58

@HelkaHomba mentally? maybe. ;)

from the game, not yet

boboquack

@HelkaHomba Yeah, but Jan said smartphone + rind

Gareth McCaughan

with the possible exception that maybe if someone explicitly asks a question and no one who isn't an SM seems to be answering it, it might just about be OK for an SM to answer.

Helka Homba

I've no idea for rind but I'm fine with CHINA/ROBOT for phone

Jan Dvorak

ROBOT

Rubio

ROBOT is blue
