(I know it wouldn't take long, just joking :P )

Sconibulus

Glass seems plausible?

Rubio

So GPR didn't say Unlimited. That means there are an infinite number of words linked to MAGICIAN. Good luck guessing them all!

Deusovi

Glass?

dcfyj

Crossed my mind

cricket -> hatch, good?

Rubio

buahahaa

GentlePurpleRain

17:00

@Rubio What are you talking about?

Deusovi

if not, we're screwed

Sconibulus

mirrors and various escapes from things

Deusovi

CRICKET

Rubio

HEY NO CHANGING CLUES, CHEATING, WE DEMAND OUR FREE WORD ;)

GentlePurpleRain

CRICKET is blue

dcfyj

17:01

!board

@Rubio ?

Shiro

dcfyj

Chair seems likely

Sconibulus

why Chair?

Deusovi

do you think we've gotten all of our hatch clues?

GentlePurpleRain

@dcfyj I changed it from ∞ to unlimited.

Jan Dvorak

17:01

I'll have fun reading the transcript when blue learns what they've been missing

dcfyj

I feel like I've seen something to do with a chair for magicians

Rubio

sshhh

dcfyj

@Deusovi no

Sconibulus

a hatch might cover a hole

Deusovi

oh, sure. let's try that

dcfyj

17:02

true

Deusovi

objections?

Sconibulus

wait

dcfyj

do we have any ideas for mage first?

Deusovi

waiting

magician, not mage

very different

Sconibulus

is squarehatching a shading mechanism?

dcfyj

17:02

@Deusovi Didn't feel like typing it out

Deusovi

@Sconibulus that's crosshatching

Sconibulus

oh, ok

dcfyj

@Sconibulus no idea

Sconibulus

then I like hole

dcfyj

sure

HOLE

GentlePurpleRain

17:03

HOLE is blue

Rubio

finally! that word was clued WITH. EVERY. CLUE. and clued well I might add. poor GPR.

Sconibulus

outside chance of grass->thatch->hatch

dcfyj

With every clue?

Deusovi

well, two of our clues have been the same

Sconibulus

in case deck or hole was lucky

dcfyj

17:03

!board

Deusovi

I thought about it for Solitary, but CELL+ALIEN was better

Shiro

GentlePurpleRain

@Deusovi You never mentioned it.

Sconibulus

The Magicians is partially about the Crown of Fillory, but I don't think that's our clue

dcfyj

@GentlePurpleRain That's because I did

Deusovi

17:04

^

plus, I didn't quite see how it fit solitary

Rubio

"Throw him in solitary." or, "Throw him in the hole."

Deusovi

...Nope, never heard that.

dcfyj

I have

Sconibulus

Magician->Conductor via Fantasia maybe?

Rubio

I have. ;)

Sconibulus

17:05

or they both wave wands

Deusovi

sure, why not

I dunno

dcfyj

The thought had occurred to me too

go for conductor?

Deusovi

eh, we're probably screwed, I don't care

dcfyj

CONDUCTOR

Sid

blue..

Deusovi

17:06

whoa

dcfyj

lol

GentlePurpleRain

"Solitary confinement is colloquially referred to in American English as ... "the hole"... . - Wikipedia.

dcfyj

I'm still thinking chair for some reason

!board

Deusovi

sure, go for it, why not

Shiro

dcfyj

17:07

any objections @Sconibulus?

Deusovi

the only other option I see is point

Sconibulus

I don't like it much

Deusovi

like, misdirection or something

dcfyj

Could be a lot of them, really

Sconibulus

but I don't like anything much

dcfyj

17:09

point (misdirection), wake (from being put to sleep), chair (I don't know...), dwarf (assistant (sometimes))

Deusovi

not dwarf

Sconibulus

the magician, the dwarves, and the burglar were the party in The Hobbit

dcfyj

magician? I don't think gandalf was called that

Sconibulus

plus they're both fantasy staples, it's one of the ones I like better than average

Rubio

that word is BUGLE you know

Deusovi

17:10

pff

dcfyj

@Rubio ?

Deusovi

a joke implying you misread "bugle" as "burglar"

Rubio

^

dcfyj

ah

Rubio

well. as BURGLE, but yes

dcfyj

17:11

So... verdict?

Deusovi

not a clue

dcfyj

guess a random word?

since we're screwed either way?

Rubio

man. no neutrals hit this game, at 1 left for each. that's kinda awesome.

we've all either been Very Right or Very Wrong.

dcfyj

We have equal odds of hit red, blue, or black

!board

Shiro

Deusovi

17:13

I like WAKE and POINT the best, to be honest

GentlePurpleRain

Better chance of hitting red. 2 red left. 1 blue. 1 black. 7 yellow.

Deusovi

1 red left.

dcfyj

@GentlePurpleRain 1 red

GentlePurpleRain

Sorry.

Sconibulus

I don't like Wake, probably like Crown best

dcfyj

17:13

You've been very stuck on this two red thing lol

GentlePurpleRain

I forgot to mark one off on my master.

Deusovi

Why CROWN?

Sconibulus

Point seems a bit above-average

dcfyj

I'm not super fond of point

I'm thinking wake or (I still have zero clue why) chair

Deusovi

either we're all idiots, or one of us is going to have an "I-told-you-so" moment after the game

Scon, why CROWN?

Sconibulus

17:15

a few reasons, fantasy has kings and crowns and royal magicians, Magician is a Tarot Card I think, which has a crowns suit, only connection I had for Chair was The Silver Chair, and the guy in the chair was Crown Prince

GentlePurpleRain

@Deusovi I'm leaning toward choice A (including me). :P

Sconibulus

also the aformentioned Fillory

none of the connections are good, but there are enough bad connections it's my favorite

Deusovi

alright, whatever. go for it, I guess

dcfyj

CROWN

GentlePurpleRain

CROWN is yellow

Deusovi

17:15

welp

Sid

phew

dcfyj

I'm still thinking it's chair for some reason, really wish I knew why lol

GentlePurpleRain

For a minute there, I thought you might have it...

Sconibulus

sorry

dcfyj

hush, not over yet

Sid

17:16

Me too. I am almost sweating now

GentlePurpleRain

OK, Sid, bring it home.

dcfyj

Might want to ping them so they come back :P

GentlePurpleRain

Ping whom?

dcfyj

red team

Rubio

nah. we'll just straight up guess a word, and see how it goes. ;)

dcfyj

17:17

that would be funny

Sconibulus

I wish there was a good way to "no-comment"

Rubio

i'm not even sure @BusinessCat is here

Sid

Red: rose, 1

Rubio

every rose has its thorn

Business Cat

I am indeed

dcfyj

17:18

lol I easily see 2 for rose

Deusovi

...I have no idea what you're going for with that clue

dcfyj

!board

Rubio

yeah that was not the best clue.

Business Cat

Sadly neither do I

Shiro

dcfyj

17:18

Bring it home gpr! :P

Rubio

dwarf roses are a thing. glass roses are a thing. and roses have pointy thorns.

Business Cat

I'd say wake but it would be rise not rose

Sconibulus

squares have interchangeable Rose and Colins

Rubio

so. for them to all be thinking Blue might win it, it'd have to be one of CHAIR or POINT for blue's last

Deusovi

pff

yeah, neither of you should've said that we might win it

Rubio

17:20

which nobody should have said, but whatever

Deusovi

because that can happen now. :/

Rubio

I'd have gone with POINT if left to myself here

GentlePurpleRain

You're right. I figured it was a shoo-in, but I guess I made an ASS out of U and ME...

dcfyj

That's why I told you to hush :P It's possible for the last clue to be misinterpreted

Rubio

and I still like POINT more than the other options.

Sid

17:22

I am off for supper. You guys can shout at me after the game if we lose.

Business Cat

Yeah I guess so

GentlePurpleRain

@dcfyj If anything, I benefitted you.

Rubio

POINT

dcfyj

@Sconibulus so when are you going to put up your puzzle?

GentlePurpleRain

blue

Sid

17:22

... lol

Rubio

welp.

Sid

(and I am sorry)

Deusovi

HA

dcfyj

I think the last red was wake

Rubio

How not to clue a last word 101.

GentlePurpleRain

17:22

ROSE probably should have been ARISE.

Sid

It was WAKE

Sconibulus

@dcfyj I actually did it a minute or two after I sent you the thanks email

dcfyj

I was right haha

Deusovi

Or SUNRISE, or MORNING.

dcfyj

@Sconibulus ah ok

GentlePurpleRain

17:23

or FUNERAL

dcfyj

He was thinking a wake as in funeral haha

Rubio

or SLEEP

Sid

I forgot that Rise=wake and not Rose. I absolutely forgot that Rose was a flower

Rubio

or ... man

GentlePurpleRain

So, "The hole" is totally a term for solitary confinement.

Deusovi

17:23

okay, GPR, time for you to explain things

Sconibulus

I thought Glass was the likeliest

dcfyj

rose was not the best choice for that

Sconibulus

Rose-Colored Glasses esp.

Sid

Glass was assassin

dcfyj

!finalboard

GentlePurpleRain

17:24

When I did HATCH the first time, I was blanking on the "egg" meaning of the word. I was only thinking about a "door" hatch. DECK + HOLE

Business Cat

Wake could maybe have been lumped into Mediterranean Sea too

dcfyj

@GentlePurpleRain >.<

grid-deduction

Deusovi

Ah. I'd've used TRAPDOOR for that.

Shiro

dcfyj

17:24

to me hatch first and foremost means egg

GentlePurpleRain

The second time, I missed the "nuthatch" converstation. It was supposed to be DECK, HOLE, CRICKET.

Sid

This game was the classic example of how not to clue (1). \

Deusovi

Really? You double-clued words?

dcfyj

lol

Deusovi

We all thought you were separately cluing from your original HATCH.

GentlePurpleRain

17:25

I take full responsibility for this game. My team won in spite of me.

Deusovi

Or at least, partially separate.

dcfyj

I avoid double-cluing unless I see they're not going the right way at all

Deusovi

^

Rubio

@Deusovi in fairness, I didn't. ;)

GentlePurpleRain

Yeah, probably not the best choice.

dcfyj

17:25

@Deusovi I thought the Hatch (2) and (3) was just adding a word to it

Deusovi

Ah. I didn't, because that would waste the first clue

Rubio

Sid double-clued WAVE, which was a little bit of a waste

Deusovi

and if you wanted to pick up only one word, then you could try to combo it with something else, not words that have already been given

GentlePurpleRain

Also, I had shrunk my window, so CONDUCTOR was showing as CONDUCT. That's why I clued MAGICIAN -> code of CONDUCT.

Rubio

oh wow.

Deusovi

17:26

Ha!

dcfyj

ah

GentlePurpleRain

Overall, a big fail for me.

Rubio

I didn't even know it did that

dcfyj

Yeah, that didn't go so well lol

Somehow we won that

Rubio

I actually thought of CONDUCTOR via wand myself, I thought it was clever

GentlePurpleRain

17:27

Like I said, in spite of me.

POINT was always a stretch, and I knew that.

Sid

y\how did you get bottle btw?

ffao

Point is a terrible word to have

Rubio

WE guessed bottle for Fairy

dcfyj

@Sid Legend of Zelda

Rubio

I assume you intended ANGEL+WAVE
