which to my mind works less well with forest

Jan Dvorak

or, we could keep forest in reserve if we get a 1 clue

micsthepick

what were the other words for papers?

Jan Dvorak

pass, and guess forest if we get a (1)?

Wheat Wizard

Teacher and contract

Gareth McCaughan

yeah, with only two left I think it's better to pass; if WW can't find a clue for both the remaining words we still have all the same guessing options we do now

Jan Dvorak

03:01

[PASS]

Shiro

Wheat Wizard

Those were guessed, not necessarily the ones I was thinking of

Jan Dvorak

@WheatWizard better let non-SMs say that

Gareth McCaughan

@WheatWizard please don't say things that could be construed as possible hints

Wheat Wizard

That is the opposite of a hint

I am saying that the last thing was not a hint in anyway

Jan Dvorak

03:02

the opposite of a hint is in itself also a hint

Wheat Wizard

I was just passing along public information

Gareth McCaughan

yes, but the selection of what public information to mention is itself information

Wheat Wizard

and I felt it necessary to stipulate that the information was not a hint

Gareth McCaughan

it's best to be super-careful and just not say anything hinty-sounding

Jan Dvorak

easy, guys ;-)

Gareth McCaughan

03:03

generally the SMs should, so far as they are able, just sit quietly and let the operatives discuss amongst themselves.

anyway, sorry to be leaving at this exciting moment but it's 4am local time and I really need to go to bed. Bye, all!

!leave

o/~ waves

user165474

so what happens now

user165474

i am confuzzled

Helka Homba

03:05

Blue: Luggage (3)

user165474

trunk?

Sp3000

Good with that

Mike Q

Trunk, Belt, ... uh

TRUNK

Helka Homba

trunk is blue!

Jan Dvorak

I love that clue. No chance blue will get it.

user165474

03:07

belt?

user165474

why?

user165474

@JanDvorak lol it was quite easy admittedly

Mike Q

Packing clothes.... maybe?

Jan Dvorak

The first one, yeah

Mike Q

I'm definitely guessing

Sp3000

03:07

BELT'S the only thing I can see conceivably allowed on a flight

Mike Q

Luggage = containers and travel, and the stuff you put in those containers

Jan Dvorak

a SCORPION might count as a container for POISON

user165474

oh at airports they have conveyor belts at luggage retrieval

Sp3000

That sounds better

user165474

fighter -> fighter jet -> plane? idk

Sp3000

03:11

I'm slightly tempted to go with BERMUDA for third but it's very loose (just because it's a viable destination and a place associated with planes)

Mike Q

I like belt and bermuda

ffao

I don't have anything better

Sp3000

BELT

user165474

i like belt but Bermuda seems like a stretch imo

Helka Homba

belt blue!

Sp3000

03:12

(going with belt first)

tbh I'd expect the third to be a stretch at this point :/ not that that justifies Bermuda more than the others

user165474

I'm tempted to think that bridge might work because maybe that's where they load luggage into planes, or from storage to belt, but that's also a stretch

user165474

unfortunately i can't look up whether or not that's right

Jan Dvorak

>:-)

Mike Q

!board

Shiro

user165474

03:16

how can i get whitelist approved

Sp3000

SPOT's the only other one I have in mind, since towers are locations and you might have a spotter with heavy luggage? [/more stretches]

Okay nah scratch that ignore me

user165474

wait the tower clue still exists

Jan Dvorak

There's only a thin boundary between a bad connection and a good troll

Sp3000

Well we don't know whether the tower clue's words have been used already

Almost tempted to guess anything at this point, I don't have any good ideas

Mike Q

It doesn't really matter (if they match previous clues). The hint was for 3, and we have 2 of those 3.

ffao

03:19

bermuda is the best we've had so far, fighter jets don't usually carry luggage

Wen1now

what clues oustanding

ffao

and with that I'm going to go have dinner

!leave

Shiro

BLUE: Helka Homba, Mike Q, Hyper Neutrino, Sp3000, Wen1now

Mike Q

Process of elimination leaves bridge, spot, and bermuda

user165474

03:19

I vote bridge personally, but remember that this is my first game :P

Jan Dvorak

Process of elimination leaves Mike Q, Hyper Neutrino, Sp3000 and Wen1now

Mike Q

Any objections to bridge then?

Sp3000

To be honest, bridge isn't bad, I don't mind it

Mike Q

BRIDGE

Helka Homba

bridge is YELLOW

Jan Dvorak

03:21

I have a personal guess and it isn't bridge

Helka Homba

(neutral)

Jan Dvorak

I love that clue. There was no chance blue would get it.

user165474

lol

Wheat Wizard

RED: BALD (1)

Jan Dvorak

this means forest was correct

Helka Homba

03:22

@JanDvorak stop harassing my team

03:23

Helka Homba

BERMUDA sillies!

Wheat Wizard

musicman523

good game!

micsthepick

good game

user165474

good game

Jan Dvorak

03:24

I thought bermuda was magnetic and thus not blue

Sp3000

Oh so it was BERMUDA, my main reason for mentioning that was because I figured it was the hardest to clue

user165474

how is Bermuda magnetic

musicman523

something something bermuda triangle

Jan Dvorak

The bermuda triangle messes with compasses

supposedly

Mike Q

I thought that was debunked

Helka Homba

03:25

Also, Grenfell Tower is a skyscraper in London that had a fire last week that killed 79 people. It was all over the news. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenfell_Tower_fire

Sp3000

(although BRIDGE being the extendable part connecting the airport to the plane was kind of tempting)

Jan Dvorak

I've heard about the fire. Didn't know the name of the tower aflame.

Sp3000

Ah, current events

Helka Homba

Was going for FIRE/AMBULANCE (couldn't use Insurance then because AGENT was alive)

Wheat Wizard

agent was yellow

user165474

03:26

no the Bermuda triangle has nothing to do with magnetics, it's bad for ships and planes because methane is too light

Wheat Wizard

I think the Bermuda triangle is a myth

Jan Dvorak

That, too, was debunked :-D

The simplest explanation is the correct one

Wheat Wizard

A: Have there been unusual disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle?

According to the US Coast guard, the losses experienced in the triangle are no greater than in any other area of ocean: [the triangle] is noted for an apparent high incidence of unexplained losses of ship, small boats, and aircraft. The Coast Guard does not recognize the existence of t...

From our friends at sceptics.se

Jan Dvorak

Planes and ships keep disappearing in the Bermuda triangle because, well, they kinda keep disappearing everywhere.

Helka Homba

Being SM induces many facepalms

Sp3000

03:28

It usually does when you're forced to stretch :P

Wheat Wizard

I was internally screaming the entire game

Helka Homba

At least my team never got close to DRILL

Jan Dvorak

Mine scraped it, though

Helka Homba

good game

Jan Dvorak

aye

user165474

03:30

so, restart, or done for now?

Jan Dvorak

I'm in

user165474

I'm in but I have half an hour

Helka Homba

I'd play again, not as SM, but need to afk for a bit

micsthepick

In with about an hour

Wheat Wizard

I'd play but I don't want to be SM

Jan Dvorak

03:31

brb, making an ice cream breakfast

Sp3000

Wish I could, but won't be here for long

musicman523

I'm out, approaching midnight here

micsthepick

@JanDvorak When I get home I might have cake and ice-cream

user165474
