I could SM... unless I'm not human enough for np

Deusovi

I guess I could.

Jan Dvorak

I can guess

dcfyj

oosh

Mike Q

RED: TOAST (2)

Deusovi

JAM

n_palum

Red

Jan Dvorak

18:06

I think the red team is toast

Rubio

HONEY

Business Cat

I think the other is Dinosaur

Deusovi

do you put honey on toast?

Mike Q

Red

Deusovi

I guess you do

n_palum

18:06

red

Rubio

you totally do

I might not but I know you do. My spies tell me many things.

Deusovi

pff

[passing]

Shiro

Rubio

of course most of those things are apparently about rand hehe

dcfyj

lol, I was pseudo afk and apparently I missed nothing :P

Mike Q

18:09

Blue: Prehistoric, 2

dcfyj

london! :P

Jan Dvorak

kid, clearly

n_palum

@dcfyj you're killin' it on the keyboard today

dcfyj

DINOSAUR

Mike Q

Dino is blue

dcfyj

18:09

Yeah, I know...

The only other things that make sense for that clue are date and nessie...

Business Cat

I was thinking date

Like dating rocks/bones whatever

Jan Dvorak

These things never work.

dcfyj

I don't remember if nessie was ever referred to as a prehistoric creature or not

Mithrandir

!join

Shiro

Hi Mithrandir, you'll be joining team blue!

BLUE: mike, dcfyj, businesscat, Mithrandir

dcfyj

18:11

What do you think @Mithrandir?

Business Cat

Personally I've never tried to date a rock, I don't think it'd be a great relationship

dcfyj

lol

Mithrandir

Nessie is often thought to perhaps be a prehistoric creature.

Jan Dvorak

@BusinessCat they make great pets, though

dcfyj

actually, the "word" is loch ness... no monster there...

Technically referring to the lake itself then rather than nessie

Jan Dvorak

18:13

maybe

Business Cat

So I think date is the best option

dcfyj

@JanDvorak you're not on our team, so...

@Mithrandir date or nessie?

Jan Dvorak

so?

dcfyj

So, I'm rather likely to ignore your statements

Jan Dvorak

oh, well

dcfyj

18:14

lol

Rubio

Well! That's rather teamist, I must say!

dcfyj

oh hush, you'll do the same when I comment on your clue

anyhow, mith?

Jan Dvorak

I never brag about ignoring my trolls

dcfyj

Who said I was bragging?

n_palum

Just guess, Mith probably intermittent

dcfyj

18:16

DATE

DATE

Mike Q

Blue

dcfyj

Rubio

I have a dream that the players of this game will one day be in a chat room where they will not be judged by the color of their team but by the content of their comment.

Sid

n_palum

18:16

Red: CAR (2)

Shiro

Hi Sid, you'll be joining team red!

RED: n_palum, jan, deus, rubio, Sid

Deusovi

key, police?

Rubio

horn?

Deusovi

KEY

Rubio

hood?

Mike Q

18:16

Red

n_palum

red

Jan Dvorak

boxcar, perhaps

Deusovi

...all of those are plausible

Rubio

shop, even?

Jan Dvorak

horn is good

Rubio

18:17

VTC too broad

Deusovi

^

dcfyj

interesting clue considering I see at least 3 car related things...

Deusovi

okay, first question, n_p: ...what.

Sid

Maybe just pass now and wait for confirmation in the next cluee?

Jan Dvorak

Guessing should be safe

unless our SM is so bad we're doomed anyways

dcfyj

18:18

So you'd think, until you hit the assassin! :P

Business Cat

They drive cars in London

Jan Dvorak

citation-needed

Rubio

all the possible CAR words: key, shop, police, hood, box, horn, and track. Outstanding.

dcfyj

car -> road-> roadSPIKE!

Jan Dvorak

Let's go for police

Rubio

18:19

i'd go HORN and cross fingers.

Jan Dvorak

or that

Deusovi

I like POLICE and HORN the best

Jan Dvorak

I like both more than key, actually

Business Cat

I like Loch Ness

Jan Dvorak

HORN

Mike Q

18:20

Red

dcfyj

@JanDvorak Key was guessed though

Jan Dvorak

pass, or police?

Rubio

pass

Sid

It was a (2), no?

Jan Dvorak

Yep, but key could have been accidental

Rubio

18:21

Anything we pick could have been accidental :)

Jan Dvorak

[PASS]

Shiro

dcfyj

@Rubio like LOCH NESS?

Business Cat

Should have guessed Loch Ness

Jan Dvorak

You still can

dcfyj

18:22

Talking about you methinks

Jan Dvorak

He's not on my team, so...

dcfyj

:P

ffao

!join

Shiro

Hi ffao, you'll be joining team blue!

Mithrandir

(having battery problems, sorry)

Shiro

18:23

BLUE: mike, dcfyj, businesscat, Mithrandir, ffao

dcfyj

Good timing @ffao, it's blue's turn

Mike Q

Blue: Narwhal, 2

dcfyj

and song in my head...

Mithrandir

Spike

Whale

Rubio

swimming in the ocean, causing a commotion?

ffao

18:24

awesome not in the board :(

dcfyj

@Rubio yes

Mithrandir

Can we go with whale?

dcfyj

@Mithrandir My first thought, but I don't think it is one

ffao

close enough, maybe? I don't know exactly what a narwhal is

Business Cat

I think spike/whale

Jan Dvorak

18:25

narwhal = sea unicorn, but that's not on the board

Mithrandir

@dcfyj you don't think what isn't what?

dcfyj

I find spike is probably likely, not sure about whale...

ffao

I'm going towards spike whale at this point

unless there's anything better

dcfyj

@Mithrandir I don't think a narwhal is a whale

SPIKE

Mike Q

Blue

Mithrandir

18:26

@dcfyj It is.

dcfyj

ok

all good for it then?

Business Cat

It is most definitely a whale

ffao

whale]

dcfyj

WHALE

n_palum

blue

Mike Q

18:26

Blue

dcfyj

unless you guys care to guess randomly, I'm thinking pass

Business Cat

I do not care to

ffao

I had too much of random guessing yesterday, I'm good

dcfyj

[pass]

@ffao lol

Shiro

Jan Dvorak

18:27

t'was fun though, wasn't it?

n_palum

RED: DARK PRINCE (2)

Deusovi

that's a valid clue?

dcfyj

Is that valid?

Deusovi

i'll take your word for it

Jan Dvorak

who?

Deusovi

18:28

anyway

n_palum

It is, I can provide source later

Deusovi

NIGHT

n_palum

Red

dcfyj

@n_palum ok

Deusovi

LONDON

WAIT SHIT

n_palum

18:28

......

Jan Dvorak

I think it's a comedy abo...

dcfyj

lol

Mike Q

Neutral

Deusovi

i was going to undo that

ah well

Mike Q

Also, that's a 2 word hint and I doubt its validity

Jan Dvorak

18:29

nvm, we're being soloed

dcfyj

@Deusovi I was very surprised you guessed that over crown lol

n_palum

!board

Deusovi

@dcfyj I was going to. I was thinking CROWN but for some reason I typed LONDON

Shiro

n_palum

You get to say nothing about my clues now

Sid

18:29

@Deusovi It's generally a fine idea to consult the other team members before guessing..

Jan Dvorak

so glad I could fill in on the lore

dcfyj

hahaha

Deusovi

@Sid well, I'm sure no one would have objected to my guess had I actually been typing what I meant to type

dcfyj

night + crown would make sense for dark prince, night + london would make sense as Jack the Ripper :P

Sid

In any case, unless blue wins it this turn, we need a (3) clue from Palum

Mike Q

18:31

Blue: Siren, 3

Jan Dvorak

unless it wasn't crown, in which case we need a 4

dcfyj

POLICE*

Deusovi

no, it was crown

dcfyj

POLICE

Mike Q

Blue

dcfyj

18:32

Not sure what else

Deusovi

if it wasn't, as Sid so eloquently put it, then n_p is so crazy that we have no hope anyway

Jan Dvorak

I admire your certainty.

Business Cat

Maybe Loch Ness? Doubt there's any sirens there though

dcfyj

siren (to me) = noise making think cops/ambulances have or a singer that leads seamen to their deaths

Business Cat

There's also the mythical creature

That sings/lures sailors

dcfyj

18:32

That would be the singer part

Jan Dvorak

or an ambulance stuck on a rock in the middle of a sea

dcfyj

lol

Business Cat

Yeah I dunno what else...

dcfyj

sirens are (If I remember correctly) in the story of the argonauts, no?

n_palum

Can someone (1) person ping me really quick?

Deusovi

18:34

@n_palum

n_palum

Awh heck

Jan Dvorak

@n_palum

n_palum

For some reason it's started giving me the ping noise

dcfyj

So mute it

n_palum

I muted it before at work and it's suddenly back

How do I mute it

dcfyj

18:35

top right next to all rooms

Mike Q

SM shouldn't be writing anything....

dcfyj

@MikeQ it's not game related

n_palum

Oh found it

Deusovi

no, SMs can say things that are not game related

dcfyj

!board

Deusovi

18:35

or that aren't hints

Shiro

Jan Dvorak

SMs can't troll, though

Sid

@Deusovi What did I put eloquently?

dcfyj

for some reason I'm leaning towards net...

Deusovi

right

Business Cat

18:36

I don't have any idea. Only very very loose things

dcfyj

and possibly bugle

Deusovi

May 30 at 14:35, by Sid

Okay, war and racket are our options. And only one of them is blue. The other is probably neutral otherwise ffao wouldn't have clued "crime" unless he is so insane that we are all probably screwed anyway.

Sid

I am sure someone before me used that.

dcfyj

@ffao @Mithrandir ideas?

Business Cat

I remember that

Sid

18:37

There is no way I would have thought of that on my own..

Deusovi

nope, that was you

dcfyj

Pretty sure deusovi or n_palum said that at one point

Deusovi

nope!

dcfyj

apparently I need to stop typing today...

n_palum

I wasn't the original

You do

ffao

18:37

May 26 at 15:28, by Gareth McCaughan

there's no possible way guessing SPY can be dangerous unless Sid is so insane that we're doomed anyway.

dcfyj

ah

Sid

There, it had to be Gareth

Jan Dvorak

nice find

Business Cat

I think at this point we're all that insane

Deusovi

oh, "doomed" instead of "screwed"

dcfyj

18:38

@ffao @BusinessCat @Mithrandir gamble a guess?

ffao

I don't see the net connection

Business Cat

Bugle is my best guess.

But it's loose

ffao

I could see bugle

dcfyj

I feel like I remember Jason and the argonauts netting one or something, I'm not sure.

ffao

or the original ness guess

dcfyj

18:39

guess ness?

Jan Dvorak

Nope, most of his crew plugged their ears while Jason showed his preference for bondage

dcfyj

lol

Mithrandir

where are we?

Jan Dvorak

it was a net win for all the crew, though

dcfyj

siren (3), we got police

!board

n_palum

18:41

stop, mith is spy

Shiro

Jan Dvorak

+1

dcfyj

+1

Mithrandir

>.<

dcfyj

What's your thoughts?

Mithrandir

18:42

cast, maybe?

dcfyj

cast?

Mithrandir

cast = broken bone = ambulence

Jan Dvorak

STOP are we on a pirate ship?

dcfyj

ehh

Mike Q

Stop is not on the board

Jan Dvorak

18:43

also, FFAO still hasn't fixed that ... feature.

dcfyj

@MikeQ He's also not making a guess, on our team or being serious lol

Deusovi

feature?

dcfyj

Anyhow, blue team, any ideas on what you're leaning towards?

Jan Dvorak

the feature that bold words only count if they're on a line by themselves

dcfyj

yup

Jan Dvorak

18:44

(sorry anyways; should have thought of it)

ffao

that one actually counts, since it's the first word in the line

but there's no stop in the board so we're fine

Jan Dvorak

oh? What's the rule then?

Business Cat

My vote right now is like 60% bugle 40% loch ness

Jan Dvorak

first word on the line and and bolded by itself?

dcfyj

ok, @Mithrandir? @ffao?

ffao

18:46

I'm with bc

dcfyj

good enough for me

BUGLE

Mike Q

Bugle is BLUE :)

dcfyj

so, nessie for the last one?

Business Cat

OK

Mithrandir

wait, why?

dcfyj

18:47

LOCH NESS

Mike Q

Loch Ness is a lake that exists and also is Neutral

n_palum

Yellow

!board

Shiro

n_palum

RED: FISH (3)

dcfyj

@Mithrandir shrug they were thinking it for whatever reason

Deusovi

18:48

CROWN

n_palum

Red

Deusovi

didn't screw up that time

dcfyj

crownfish!

Sid

Net, shop?

Jan Dvorak

box jellyfish?

Deusovi

18:48

I like net the most.

ffao

only neutral, I'm fine with that

Jan Dvorak

Aye

Deusovi

NET

dcfyj

lol I just had a funny thought with fish

n_palum

Red

dcfyj

18:48

glad we didn't go for that lol

Jan Dvorak

shop next?

Deusovi

I dunno about shop. Let's consider our options before we pick it

I don't think it's VET. n_p would've said CATFISH or something.

My favorite options are BOX and SHOP. Anyone see anything better?

Sid

Box? maybe, I dunno

Jan Dvorak

vet didn't cross my mind

dcfyj

I don't think I've ever heard of a vet working on a fish lol

Deusovi

18:50

@dcfyj Exactly. I had considered it, then wanted to point it out in advance so we didn't consider it.

Jan Dvorak

"don't let me get me"?

Deusovi

???

Rubio

cast?

n_palum

Was about to ping Rubio lol

Deusovi

???

Sid

18:51

how cast?

Jan Dvorak

you cast a rod to fish

Deusovi

oh!

Rubio

when you fish, you cast your rod

Deusovi

like fishing

Sid

Ah, fishing! Makes sense

Jan Dvorak

18:51

shop -> ?

Deusovi

but wouldn't it be FISHING, not just FISH?

Jan Dvorak

true

Rubio

dunno

Sid

maybe to clue the third one, fishing wouldn't make sense?

Rubio

I don't like shop or box or vet though, personally

Jan Dvorak

18:52

shop + box on the premise that cast would have been fishing?

Deusovi

I don't like shop or box either

Rubio

so I'm not sure what 3rd one would require just FISH vs FISHING

Deusovi

but they're the best I can see

Jan Dvorak

^

Sid

anyway, cast?

dcfyj

18:53

oh right, we're screwed if they get these lol

Mike Q

[I need to leave in around 7 minutes, so... let's keep it moving, ok?]

Jan Dvorak

Actually, box jellyfish requires that jelly part, so perhaps cast is better than box

I see no reason against shop

Rubio

I've never seen a "fish shop" per se

Deusovi

yeah, "fish shop" seems weird

n_palum

[reiterating to move it along for Mike]

Jan Dvorak

18:55

why weird?

Sid

I was thinking along fish market->shop

Rubio

let's do CAST

Jan Dvorak

Fish market is where fishers dump their fish to be sold

Deusovi

I have no idea. I'll leave it up to you all.

Sid

CAST

n_palum

18:55

Red

Mike Q

Red

Jan Dvorak

Yay!

Mike Q

Now get the last one so I can leave

Sid

Okay, last one..

ffao

good thing we didn't go with NET or CAST then

n_palum

18:56

Lol

Rubio

I'm more for shop than box, but it's like 55% to 50%

Jan Dvorak

SHOP

ffao

LOCH NESS is looking like an excellent guess at this point :P

dcfyj

@ffao indeed

Mike Q

Shop is Neutral

dcfyj

18:56

I thought as much :P

Sid

Damn!

dcfyj

Jan Dvorak

'twas box, then.

Jan Dvorak

Let's if blue fails this one

Mike Q

Blue

n_palum

18:56

blue..

dcfyj

um, track?

Mithrandir

hood

Mike Q

It's totally possible for blue to fail @Jan @n_palum

dcfyj

or possibly hood

or possibly box...

Business Cat

I think maybe box

Jan Dvorak

18:57

Yep. They're facing a similar dilemma we've just faced

Mithrandir

black box?

dcfyj

it's kept in the cockpit

I'm ok with it, I'm not really sure it belongs to them anyhow

plus it's we win or they do at this point

Jan Dvorak

keeps fingers crossed

dcfyj

in favor of box?

Mithrandir

not sure

dcfyj

18:59

It's probably not track, else he'd have said airport

Jan Dvorak

don't wanna repeat yesterday's stabby stabby, boys?

Mike Q

[jeopardy theme]

dcfyj

none in the bottom 3 rows make sense for a cockpit clue
