I can SM so, yes we could

@dcfyj @Sconibulus @BusinessCat ?

Business Cat

I'm still here

Sconibulus

(my head is itchy)

dcfyj

here-ish, working on a database problem

n_palum

If we have another tribute we can play

Sconibulus

I'm tediously translating a DTO layer from VB to C#, please distract me :)

n_palum

18:04

I'm trying to figure out how to cast a com.aspose.word.paragraph into a string

dcfyj

@Sconibulus .net or 6?

Sconibulus

.Net

dcfyj

There are free online tools for that (although they are far from perfect, they usually get the gist of it.)

Sconibulus

it's not actually straight translation though, also changing how we're using data access tools

dcfyj

The one I use (although not in a while) is Instant C#

updating while translating, fun

Sort of like the massive project I did of translating an entire program from vb6 to vb.net, that was a pain...

I can probably sm

Business Cat

18:10

I suppose I could

n_palum

I still can

Business Cat

Shiro

RED: Plum, Cat, Mike, Mithrandir

Deusovi

why specify the team?

n_palum

I think Mith is scared of you

Business Cat

18:25

Tbh I'd be more scared of n_p SMing ;)

Mithrandir

Because Purple over there stated that one player on that team may not be around. If they aren't, and I joined the other team, it would be skewed.

dcfyj

@BusinessCat Don't worry, he'll clue the assassin first turn :P

n_palum

Red: WOOD (3)

Business Cat

Stick, fire

Mike Q

Fire, Stick, Cross?

Business Cat

18:27

Yeah sounds about right

Mithrandir

Why cross?

Bar seems more likely to me

Mike Q

Good point. Let's do the easy ones first.

STICK

n_palum

Red

Mithrandir

fire

n_palum

Blue.

Mithrandir

18:28

BLUE: 1942 (3)

Deusovi

...

@Sconibulus?

Sconibulus

War

Deusovi

I will be no help with this clue.

so whatever you say

Sconibulus

1942 is where most of the US involvement was

Battle of Britain I think was over?

Rommel I think was Desert Foxing in Africa

Deusovi

Again. No help coming from me. Sorry.

Business Cat

18:34

Tying onions to your BELT was the style at the time

Sconibulus

Moscow I think was end of 1941 beginning of 1942

WAR

dcfyj

blue

Sconibulus

Soldier, Africa, and Moscow are my best guesses, London is I think specifically being avoided

Deusovi

guess whatever you want - I know basically nothing about history

Sconibulus

Moscow was barely in 1942, Africa campaign is probably lesser-known, soldier is pretty generic for war-time

Mithrandir

18:37

Tsk tsk. History isn't very happy with you, Deus.

Sconibulus

eh, what's the worst that can happen

Africa

dcfyj

blue

Sconibulus

Moscow

Mike Q

I believe that 1942 was the African Carrot War

dcfyj

yellow

Sconibulus

18:38

ok, so it's probably Soldier

Mike Q

n_palum

Red: JACK (4)

Business Cat

Car, kangaroo

Mike Q

Car, Kangaroo, London, uh... and then there's 2 others from WOOD

Business Cat

18:40

London because Jack the Ripper?

Mike Q

I was thinking "Union Jack" but that works too

Business Cat

Oh yeah.

Mike Q

CAR

n_palum

Red

Business Cat

I'd be ok with cross or bar for wood

Mike Q

18:41

KANGAROO

Business Cat

My preference is cross

n_palum

red

Mike Q

Wood could also have been Grass or Rose, like "wood" as in a forest.

Business Cat

Also Scon seemed to think dc was avoiding London so fully confident on that

Mike Q

LONDON

n_palum

18:42

....blue

dcfyj

Deusovi

what

Sconibulus

really? Wow

Deusovi

you clued JACK when LONDON was blue?????

Sconibulus

Jack London is an author and everything

Deusovi

18:43

Jack London, Jack the Ripper, Union Jack

Sconibulus

maybe London was the third 1942?

I would have thought that'd just be WWII at that point

Business Cat

Deusovi

n_palum

dcfyj

18:48

Deusovi

Sconibulus

Sconibulus

Mike Q

Business Cat

So we're missing 2 jacks, 2 wood

Mithrandir
