Shiro

Sorry, I don't have any teams stored right now!

Jan Dvorak

Mike Q

Then why is there a board

Jan Dvorak

She works in mysterious ways...

ffao

how is open source mysterious in any way

thecoder16

00:10

lol

Mike Q

"If it's open source, then where does the license money go?"

Jan Dvorak

Human DNA is open source

thecoder16

@ffao have you decided only to run shiro when you are on

ffao

I can only restart her when I'm on

thecoder16

why does she go off then?

ffao

00:13

SE was down

thecoder16

Jan Dvorak

I hope it's OK to multitask Codenames + MST3K?

thecoder16

hmm can i XSS with shiro

Mike Q

Enough acronyms! We play now!

Who here is NOT playing?

thecoder16

Jan Dvorak

Wen1now

Yay, red team!

thecoder16

@JanDvorak you're up! :)

Jan Dvorak

ironing, 3

Wen1now

Um, button?

ffao

00:22

pants?

Wen1now

Button, track, draft I think

Wait yeah pants not track

ffao

you're not blue, w1n

hi @thecoder16, you there

thecoder16

hi there

i see pants

press

not sure about anything else

pants first?

ffao

let's go with those for now then

pants

Gareth McCaughan

!joinred

Jan Dvorak

00:26

pants are blue

Shiro

RED: Mikeq, wen, Gareth McCaughan

Gareth McCaughan

(here only briefly, though)

thecoder16

press now?

ffao

I'm sure some are black

but most are blue

press

Jan Dvorak

press is blue

thecoder16

00:27

take your best guess for the third one :P

or maybe just pass

ffao

I have no guesses for 3

[passing] then

Shiro

Jan Dvorak

brb

Gareth McCaughan

@MikeQ I assume you noticed it's our turn now?

Mike Q

Yes hi

Gareth McCaughan

00:31

just checking :-)

Mike Q

Red: Sound, 2

Gareth McCaughan

ring?

Wen1now

track?

Gareth McCaughan

oh, track is quite clever

Wen1now

Track as in sound track

Sound and ring I guess

I mean track and ring

Gareth McCaughan

00:37

sound is also a verb meaning to measure the depth of

which would kinda go with well, loch ness, etc.

thecoder16

missiles certaintly produce sound

Gareth McCaughan

but that seems a bit too far fetched

I can't help wondering whether some other clue would be more natural for ring+track -- something related to some kind of racing -- but I personally know nothing about such things so (1) I can't tell whether it's so and (2) for all I know MikeQ may share my ignorance

I reckon ring then track

@Wen1now any objection?

Wen1now

Nope

Nope as in no objection

Gareth McCaughan

RING

Mike Q

Red

Gareth McCaughan

00:39

TRACK

Mike Q

Also red

Gareth McCaughan

[passing]

Shiro

Jan Dvorak

cold war, 4

thecoder16

moscow, missile

Wen1now

00:42

Oh, a 4

ffao

4s make me scared o.o

Gareth McCaughan

let it not be said that the blues are without ambition

@ffao pretty sure we're the ones who should be scared

ffao

moscow and missile are in if it's not that then our SM is insane territory

moscow

Mike Q

Blue

ffao

missile

Mike Q

00:43

Also blue

Gareth McCaughan

the whole point of a cold war is that you aren't using the missiles

thecoder16

!board

Shiro

ffao

but you can sure place them and cause some form of crisis

Wen1now

Honestly, it's a war. Of course missile is in

Maybe circle?

Gareth McCaughan

00:45

I wasn't seriously suggesting MISSILE was wrong. Not least because it had already been confirmed.

@Wen1now you're on our team, remember?

(I've no idea whether CIRCLE was a serious suggestion)

Wen1now

Oh okay, right

Gareth McCaughan

(and for what it's worth I can't see any good reason for it to be clued by "cold war")

ffao

war is part of the circle of life, of course

Wen1now

Poe's law strikes again

thecoder16

draft, draft-army-war?

very far-fetched

ffao

00:48

I have a bunch of far fetched connections, but that's as good as any

draft

thecoder16

wait what rip

Jan Dvorak

red

Gareth McCaughan

thanks

Mike Q

Phew

ffao

that's why I don't like 4s

Mike Q

00:48

!board

thecoder16

you could've waited?

Shiro

ffao

more than I already did?

thecoder16

true

my other far-fetched guesses take up half the board

ffao

Wen1now

00:50

5-5

Mike Q

Red: Gym, 3

Gareth McCaughan

lap

wall?

Wen1now

lap, bottle??

There's no wall

Gareth McCaughan

ground??

oops it says well

figure???

Wen1now

Well lap is our best

Gareth McCaughan

00:53

LAP

Mike Q

LAP is RED

Gareth McCaughan

well, at least that's one

I am no athlete and have no very convincing ideas.

Wen1now

I like bottle, ground

Both very dubious but alright

Gareth McCaughan

I don't like either much. Prefer ground to bottle.

either good enough to risk?

Wen1now

Let's flip a coin

red=ground

blue=bottle

green=pass

Gareth McCaughan

00:59

interesting coins you have there

Wen1now

!flipcoin

Shiro

Red

Gareth McCaughan

wat

Mike Q

???

Gareth McCaughan

GROUND

(must obey coin)

Mike Q

00:59

Yellow

Gareth McCaughan

oh well

Mike Q

Unsure how Gym -> Ground
