!board

!flipcoin
15:01
Blue
That works better....
mods vs non mods?
If you don't mind losing... ;)
Who's SMing?
well then. :P
@GentlePurpleRain High fives!
15:02
n_p sm, and GPR? or deus?
o/
I'm good with doing it or not, if @Deus wants to.
@n_p, you good with that?
I'm fine either way too.
oh hey, our third mod to balance things out! because you were definitely going to lose with two. :P
You go ahead. I may have to duck out here and there.
@thecoder16 Now you definitely don't stand a chance...
15:03
@n_palum @BusinessCat who wants to sm?
I can do it I guess

BLUE: Deusovi, GentlePurpleRain, Rubio
wait i'm going to test something
!join bob
Sorry, I don't have any teams stored right now!
15:05
huh. no teams created?
weird
Someone was suggesting yesterday that there be the ability to create a new game without teams. Perhaps it was implemented, buggily?
you have to give it 4 for it to work correctly
ok i figured it out
yeah
15:06
If you give it two, it does ... well ... this.
We can try again so other people can join?
OK, start over, then.
the if condition in the code specifically states four players
!joinblue Rubio
Sorry, I don't have any teams stored right now!
15:06

RED: Business Cat, thecoder16, n_palum, n_palum
sigh
15:08
oops
!leave
RED: Business Cat, thecoder16, n_palum
All sorted?
Yep
@BusinessCat you're up :)
Always like to see CANADA on the board! :)
15:08
no - n_palum is after thecoder16 and should be earlier lexicographically
oh, good point
let's waste time fixing that
everyone ELSE is sorted. ;)
Yes
!leave
RED: Business Cat, n_palum
15:09
@Deusovi (hey, GPR asked ... blame him)
RED: Business Cat, n_palum, thecoder16
Happy? :P
we have our priorities
If anyone else joins, they'd better come after T in the alphabet...
15:10
!sortnames
we have our priorities sorted.
Ffao rejects all my useless bot command additions
Red: CLIFF (3)
!board
15:11
And we wonder why we run out of Shiro pins
I often throw servers off cliffs, personally
Rock, alps?
And face
Rock, Death?, Alps, Ice?, Bar
Oh boy
My AMBULANCE driver was named CLIFF
15:12
Cliff face
Face, rock, alps
Don't forget PARACHUTE. Base jumping and all that.
Cliff Bar's are pretty yummy
Oh boy, even my own team turned against me
Base Jumping with a Parachute? Pff
15:12
Red
Shall we do face or bar
You can also CAST people off cliffs.
After I realized n_p was being serious lol
15:13
Cliff Bars taste like sawdust embedded in partially solidified cat droppings, but - they're definitely a thing
Face over Bar, I have a feeling Cat missed that they're a thing
I don't want to know why you know what cat droppings taste like
[pass]
15:14
Well, he is a dog...
Being a dog, he eats many things
Blue: Baseball, 3
stick?
definitely DIAMOND
and PITCH
Not stick, they use aluminum
15:14
I always use DIAMOND baseballs. Nothing but the best.
No, but I play on a baseball DIAMOND
You hooligan coder
I think PITCH and DIAMOND are givens.
Trying to reverse pysch among other things
Dogs like chasing balls
15:15
He might actually have disregarded it if he didn't pay attention :P
@Rubio, you with us?
sorry phone
no need to apologize to your phone here
Blue.
Playing baseball always puts me in an AMBULANCE
15:15
PITCH
Also blue.
ok back
I'll need to wait for Rubio to finish apologizing to his phone so we can discuss the 3rd.
phone declines
I went with those 2 because they seemed like sure bets.
15:16
No need to agree with your back either.
I don't see a likely 3rd
Maybe SUIT for uniform?
score BOARD?
I could go with that.
I don't see anything better.
15:17
Hi Mithrandir, you'll be joining team red!
RED: Business Cat, Mithrandir, n_palum, thecoder16
gah, now we have to rearrange everyone
I think I'd go for stick over board, but I could see either one
Mith is a mos though
Mod
Not here.
I'm easy. Pick what you like.
15:18
So what
It's mods vs. non-mods.
(13 (or was it 16) votes, anyway)
And the mods are losing :P
@Mithrandir we're playing mods vs non-mods, and we're all in lexicographic order
except for you
@Deusovi Check the star board.
15:19
...alright then.
Hm. I suppose it can be PSE mods vs non-PSE-mods.
That works too
Whatcha think Deus - STICK or BOARD
@Rubio I'd take BOARD over STICK, but if you feel strongly about STICK, I'm fine with that.
15:20
Not stick, they don't use wooden bats
I'd say 70% BOARD, 30% STICK.
Yeah, c'mon, Deus. We're all in this together. You haven't said anything yet... :)
I think you should pick [redacted]
Um, excuse you, I said a word and a number. That's a very important contribution.
Welp.
Red: BOARD, Blue: STICK.
15:21
How DARE you accuse the SM of not helping
Red
BOARD
Neutral.
oh well.
I think the um that deus said deserves a penalty :P
Yeah, totally gave it away. That's why we guessed NEUTRAL!!! :)
!board
(See! I told you the bluff would work!)
Alright cat, let's go for a 6 clue
15:24
Red: PIZZA (2)
I love a good ICE-cold pizza...
Death, clearly.
@BusinessCat Hey, that number looks suspiciously unlike a 6. Don't you listen to your team?
Olive, server, buffalo
Residents of CANADA love pizza. (I have insider knowledge.)
If you eat too much pizza, you may end up in an AMBULANCE.
15:25
OLIVE
Now I have no clue
!board
Heh
BUFFALO
15:26
Server
people frequently smuggle pizza from chicago or NY to Canada, don't they GPR?
If it's not Buffalo imma smack you cat
Lol rip
@Rubio all the time!
15:27
[PASSING]
Miami to Ibiza
Well that clue definitely required insider knowledge...
indeed.
Blue: Angel, 2
15:28
I mentioned yesterday that Buffalo Chicken Pizza is a thing
LIGHT?
DEATH?
sure
Anything else that might fit?
Angels are SMUGGLERS to heaven
nothing jumps out at me
15:28
I mean, Canadians are angels, but I doubt Deusovi would clue that.... :P
OK, then.
shakes head
Blue.
DEATH
Also blue.
15:29
so -
STICK, then?
Angels wear suits, don't they?
STICK
Again, blue.
15:30
and that's our guesses
(Hey @BusinessCat, can you double-check the validity of this clue? onetimesecret.com/secret/99c4uttybvm24domk4eab1r9zz4442m )
Deusovi, you're not giving away your clues to Business Cat, are you?
You typically do that after our turn.
15:31
I know - just didn't want to make people wait
otherwise business cat now might know he needs to clue a 4
I'm on the fence, leaning towards invalid though
Ib dca oer g is totally a valid clue.
alright then
Rubio cheated, penalty
15:32
Right, which clearly makes us guess Canada
thinking, sorry
Take your time
@thecoder16 No guarantee I'll use the clue I sent. It might be too risky if it's a big number, or not hit enough if it's a small one.
nailed it.
15:34
Thta basically means he's definitely going to use it :P
@thecoder16 ...No, it doesn't.
Denial... tsk tsk
Red: WOUND (2)
Ambulance
Ambulance.
Perhaps 'cast'
15:36
Soldier
That too
AMBULANCE
Red.
a wounded SOLDIER packs the wounded body part in ICE, takes an AMBULANCE for treatment, then is wheeled out in a wheel CHAIR
Soldier > Cast
A cast is not a wound
I just can't decide if they were wounded while PARACHUTEing or by getting WHIPped
15:37
Already did above
... we already submitted that Mith
Lagging
Soldier then.
SOLDIER
Not missing anything, right
15:38
No
Shall we guess Canada for the lols
Let's let shiro decide what Canada is
!flipcoin
Canada: land of assassins
Red
15:39
Canada is red, clearly :P
[pass]
Blue: Cruelty, 2
hm.
WHIP
15:41
Blue.
chair?
Canada?
^ lol
If the last two were DOG and CANADA, teammates would make a great clue...
indeed.
15:42
Either CHAIR or DOG.
(and would be very unfair for anyone who wasn't familiar with us)
I think I'm more fond of chair
Is there a better way to clue CHAIR + WHIP?
Unicorns are cruel
punishment?
15:43
I can't think of one.
Ok
Well yeah. Rubio wouldn't want to associate cruelty with dog. He still hasn't banned himself.
...Red.
well, no - canada fits punishment. so - cruelty seems right
15:44
Gg
Red: GentlePurpleRain, (1)
uh
IT WAS CANADA
CANADA
red, gg
15:45
LMAO
so sad.
Definitely UNICORN
!board
I WAS RIGHT
15:45
!finalboard
!finalboard
CAST was the assassin
last blues were DOG and PARACHUTE, which I never got a chance to clue
So I had to think of how to clue ambulance without cast. AND YOU STILL ALMOST GUESSED IT
15:45
NO
CODER ALMOST DID
NO
MITHS IDEA
notepad dump:

Baseball, 3: pitch+stick+diamond - eh, they hit BOARD. figured it was possible, but they know to guess STICK later
Angel, 2: death+light - yup, everything's fine here
Cruelty, 2: whip+dog - a bit of a long shot, but these three are hard to link, and I don't think BC will get chair+canada. NO NO DON'T GUESS CHAIR. oh no, I should've clued PETA - that would've worked better D:
welp
IT JUST WASN'T ME OKAY
15:46
A broken bone isn't a wound.
Well that's also wrong, cast != broken bone
You have a cast for a broken bone
A cast is what you get for a broken bone
one question - why CHAIR?????
Red had some good clue grouping.
Question, if I had clued Vimy Ridge (2) would you know what I meant
15:47
Electric chair.
Electric CHAIR
I'd've used PUNISHMENT for that, no?
you even brought it up yourself
@BusinessCat nope
SOLDIER + CANADA = Vimy Ridge
I didn't see DOG as being cruelty related
and nothing else fit
15:47
@GentlePurpleRain Ofc you know
GPR would have, I would not
That's what I thought.
4 mins ago, by Mithrandir
Well yeah. Rubio wouldn't want to associate cruelty with dog. He still hasn't banned himself.
;)
Maybe @Gareth will join for this one...
15:49
"Rubio (2)" would have gotten DOG + DIAMOND you know ;)
I should've clued PETA. That would've worked
Probably.
What was the clue you asked BC about?
It was "animal cruelty"
That totally should have been fair
Mike Vick
15:49
and would have worked
I dunno, I can see BC's reasoning
I don't think that's a dictionary phrase, is it?
probably not
Maybe "puppy mill"
15:50
my typical barometer is "does it mean something different than just the two words put together?"
animal cruelty is just cruelty to animals (not downplaying it here, I mean in terms of meaning)
ice cream is not just cream made out of ice
My (loose) barometer is "can you find it as an article title on Wikipedia"
Well it's "iced cream" more or less
@Rubio That's a lot more permissive.
@Rubio yeah, I suspect the best one is somewhere in between us
This is a list of articles that are lists of list articles on the English Wikipedia. In other words, each of the articles linked here is an index to multiple lists on a topic. Some of the linked articles are themselves lists of lists of lists. == General reference == Lists of academic journals Lists of important publications in science Lists of unsolved problems == Culture and the arts == === Literature === Lists of books Lists of 100 best books Lists of banned books Lists of The New York Times Fiction Best Sellers Lists of The New York Times Non-Fiction Best Sellers Publishers Weekly...
15:51
I was getting worried about cluing chair + Canada though. Best I could think of was PRIME MINISTER
I mean - if it's in a reputable dictionary it's clearly ok
If it's a Wiki article name it's probably ok
This is a list of inventors whose deaths were in some manner caused by or related to a product, process, procedure, or other innovation that they invented or designed. == Direct casualties == === Automotive === Sylvester H. Roper, inventor of the eponymous steam-powered bicycle, died of a heart attack or subsequent crash during a public speed trial in 1896. It is unknown whether the crash caused the heart attack or vice versa. William Nelson (c. 1879−1903), a General Electric employee, invented a new way to motorize bicycles. He then fell off his prototype bike during a test run. Franc...
"Where's the beef?" is a catchphrase in the United States and Canada introduced in 1984. The phrase originated as a slogan for the fast food chain Wendy's. Since then it has become an all-purpose phrase questioning the substance of an idea, event or product. == History == The phrase first came to public attention in a U.S. television commercial for the Wendy's chain of hamburger restaurants in 1984. In reality, the strategy behind the campaign was to distinguish competitors (McDonald's and Burger King) big name sandwiches (Big Mac and Whopper respectively) from Wendy's 'modest' Single by focusing...
I'd take that last one :)
A Richard Nixon mask is a mask with the likeness of Richard Nixon. These were commercially available and quite popular in the waning days of the Nixon Administration. They are generally made out of thick latex rubber or similar flexible castable compounds. One of the notable features of most Richard Nixon masks is the classically caricatured nose. Many of the different versions of the Nixon mask have a wide grinning smile as well. Although the masks were widely believed to be only a fad that would presumably die down as the public attention on Watergate waned (and once Nixon left office), the mask...
there are very weird Wikipedia article titles
Wiki's a nice rule of thumb, but it's too permissive in some ways and too strict in others
15:53
yeah. I meant "(loose)" and "probably" very much.
Anyway, hands up for another game?
o/
^ high five!
Cannot SM, I'll have to step away for a few soon to make a phone call
15:54
o/
The likelihood of you knowing (say) "List of inventors killed by their own inventions" is a wiki article name without looking it up, is fairly small. If you "know" it's a thing that would be on Wikipedia, then I think it's fair to ask the other SM if you can use it. They can then look it up if needed.
o/
Prefer to guess this time, also I'll be back in a couple minutes
@Rubio I actually did know that one (though I didn't know the other two)
Are we doing the same teams, or mixing it up?
Either is fine.
15:56
Oh. LION TAMER. That would be a great clue for WHIP + CHAIR.
So if Deus didn't use that, we shouldn't guess CHAIR.
ahhh.
But it took you 10 minutes to think of that
...Yeah, you're a bit late.
...unfortunately.
It's equally likely Deus might not have thought of it. (Or of "punishment" for that matter.) It's always a little bit of an educated guess.
Yeah, PUNISHMENT is good too. Could mean electric chair or time-out chair.
Anyway...
We need some SMs if we're gonna do this.
15:58
Back
I can do it if no one else is willing.
As usual, I'm fine either way.
Okay, then.
