Shiro

Hi Rubio, you'll be joining team blue!

BLUE: Deus, Sp3000, dcfyj, Rubio

Deusovi

@Sp3000, @dcfyj, @Rubio

guesses? or discussion? or something?

Sid

14:04

You eat Animals with ketchup..

Rubio

~~Rubio~~ dog, robin, penguin, calf are all animals

Sp3000

CALF+PENGUIN+DOG+ROBIN hmm

I guess in order of commonality then?

Sconibulus

Nessie is also an animal

Sp3000

DOG

Deusovi

Blue.

Rubio

14:04

CALF

Deusovi

Also blue.

Sp3000

PENGUIN

Deusovi

Neutral.

Rubio

mutter.

ok

Business Cat

A princess is an animal

Mithrandir

14:05

A penguin is a bird. So is a robin.

Sp3000

Good enough, Deus probably picked that first so that we can hit neutral for leeway

Business Cat

Grass

Sconibulus

Grass

Green?

Business Cat

14:06

Probably

Sid

Game? Because Lawn Tennis?

Business Cat

Lawn games are a thing bit it's a bit loose

Sconibulus

Lawn Darts is also a thing, but for only 2 I think there are betters

Sid

but, no. Not Grass and Game.. otherwise the clue would be Wimbledon.

Grass and Green sound good to me

Sconibulus

Lawn is Bermuda Grass and I see triangle... :)

Grass

Sid

Sconibulus

want to play around with another?

Shiro

Sid

14:08

(blind guesses early in the game are dangerous)

Deusovi

Blue: Cubes, 2

Sconibulus

arguably less dangerous than later in the game

Sp3000

Deusovi

Blue.

Rubio

ICE

n_palum

14:08

Sp3000

I'm guessing ICE for the other?

Deusovi

Also blue

Rubio

ROBIN

Deusovi

Again, blue, and you're out of guesses.

Sp3000

Yay

Rubio

14:09

sorry for taking so long.

n_palum

Red: PUPPETS (2)

!board

Sp3000

Yeah Rub, I got first guess, what's up with that

Shiro

Rubio

I'm on a call, so I'm not all here. ;)

Deusovi

yeah, you guys took forever. speed it up next time, we don't have all day

Sconibulus

14:09

Shadow puppets

Sid

puppets have arms...

Sconibulus

and maybe Arm puppets? I think they're usually hand, but that's not a huge stretch

or maybe puppets of things, like a princess

Rubio

I don't like puppets, personally. I DRILL holes in them and insert firecrackers.

Sconibulus

or a leprechaun

an embassy might be the real seat of power in a puppet government...

Shadow seems almost certain

Sid

So... shadow and ...?

Sconibulus

14:12

Arm is feeling about 50%

Business Cat

Oh we have a clue

I think shadow and arm

You use your arm to control a puppet, I think you're overthinking this

Sconibulus

Shadow

Sconibulus

Arm

Sconibulus

14:14

Leprechaun

Sid

Do we guess randomly?

Sconibulus

[passing]

Shiro

Sconibulus

oh, I asked that last time and nobody wanted to

Deusovi

Blue: Drunken, 2

Sid

14:14

So, we have to get 4 in the last turn..

Business Cat

Why would we guess randomly

Rubio

jack, ...?

Sp3000

I am very tempted to say ROBOT because there's a game called Drunken Robot Pornography

Rubio

fall?

fall > jack > .... > robot. ;)

Sconibulus

All Futurama robots are Drunk

most princesses are probably drunk, they don't have much better to do

Rubio

14:16

@dcfyj any thoughts?

Sconibulus

Ambassadors have Diplomatic Immunity, so presumably can't be called Drunk

so Embassy is probably the Assassin

Rubio

sp any objections to fall and jack?

Business Cat

I'm not sure, if it was the assassin n_p might have clued it by now

n_palum

dc hasn't been around it appears.

Sp3000

I might be wrong, but my main reasoning for ROBOT is because the clue is specifically "Drunken"

But as always, it's hard to tell what the rest of your team knows

Rubio

14:18

I've never heard of whatever that is, personally

FALL

n_palum

blue

Deusovi

Blue.

Sp3000

It's by the same people who made AaaaaaAAAAaaAAAaaAAA from memory, and Deus does know that

Rubio

!flipcoin robot,jack

hm

Sp3000

Still wouldn't object to Jack though, but just putting it out there

Rubio

14:19

welp. if it's NOT Jack we'll try robot?

JACK

Deusovi

Neutral.

Rubio

ok then :)

Deusovi

Wait, no

n_palum

No

Deusovi

red.

n_palum

Rubio

bah.

Sid

Business Cat

Heh

Sid

Shiro

Deusovi

14:20

(sorry for the false hope about that word)

n_palum

Red: Coordinate (1)

Sp3000

Eh, could have been worse, and hopefully they can't get 3 :P

Business Cat

...Wow

Point?

Sconibulus

...is that verb or noun?

Sid

point?

Sconibulus

14:21

Verb is probably Drill, noun is certainly point

Business Cat

I don't see anything relating to the verb

Well I guess drill but more likely point

Sconibulus

even though point is a set of coordinates

Sid

I like point but then why not Geometry?

Sconibulus

triangle is pretty likely for geometry

Sid

.. Because triangle.

Sconibulus

14:22

only 1 is scary

Business Cat

We didn't miss any other clues right?

Sconibulus

nope

Sid

I like point>drill

Business Cat

So the 1 is either he's confident enough Deus won't get the last 3 or our board is hopeless I guess

Sconibulus

ok

Business Cat

14:24

POINT

n_palum

red

Deusovi

Red.

Business Cat

And pass I guess

Rubio

!board

Shiro

Sconibulus

14:25

well, why only 1

n_palum

Why would put up the board

Sconibulus

they have to be very disconnected

Deusovi

they haven't officially passed yet

Rubio

I wanted to see the board. sue me. :)

Business Cat

Not about to guess randomly at this point

[pass]

n_palum

14:26

files paperwork

Shiro

Deusovi

Blue: Colorblind, 3

Business Cat

I bet n_p was screaming internally that whole round

Sp3000

?!

Rubio

but

Sconibulus

14:26

that was way more interesting pre-edit

Rubio

Deusovi isn't one of the words.

Deusovi

@BusinessCat um. that first message was very different from what you presumably intended to send

Sp3000

ROBOT's definitely one now, but think about the others atm

Business Cat

yesterday, by Business Cat

I'm a fountain of typos

dcfyj

Sorry work stuff, what are we missing?

n_palum

14:27

Oh my cat

Rubio

yeah I kinda have no idea what's going on here

dcfyj

The robots from Runaway robot are colorblind unless they get a special bulb

Sid

Oh..

If I am right, that is a wonderful clue..

Rubio

ROBOT

Deusovi

Neutral

dcfyj

14:28

oh well lol

what are our unfinished clues?

Rubio

welp. that was ... unexpected.

Sid

!board

Mithrandir

Sp3000

Hm. Deus is going to yell at me for not noticing it's a (3)

Shiro

Sid

14:29

@Deusovi After the game ends, don't tell what you intended. I want to take a stab at that clue

Sp3000

(I was thinking it was confirmation, but I guess (2) makes more sense as confirmation. Having said that I'm still not sure what words were intended)

Rubio

I noticed. It didn't help.

dcfyj

lol same

Sconibulus

I have an idea, but I don't think I'm right

Business Cat

@Mithrandir Is that a poster of a picture of a picture taped to a post pinned to wall

n_palum

14:30

Red: SCOTTISH (2)

Business Cat

Loch ness

Mithrandir

@BusinessCat possibly

Sid

Embassy?

Business Cat

Embassy would work

Mithrandir

..

Sconibulus

14:31

Loch Ness

Sid

Loch Ness

Business Cat

Where was ketchup invented? Not in Scotland I presume?

n_palum

red

Deusovi

Red.

Sconibulus

Would Scotland have its own embassy?

Sid

14:31

Scottish Princess?

Sconibulus

I think it would be ~~Great Britain~~ United Kingdom

GentlePurpleRain

!join

Mithrandir

Ouch.

Shiro

Hi GentlePurpleRain, you'll be joining team red!

RED: Plum, Business Cat, Sconibulus, Sid, GentlePurpleRain

Sid

Just in time, GPR. Help us with the last word.

GentlePurpleRain

14:32

It's totally EMBASSY.

Mithrandir

...

dcfyj

Leprechauns are Irish, so it can't be those.

Sconibulus

ok

Business Cat

I like embassy because the clue is SCOTTISH not SCOTLAND

n_palum

@Deusovi My notepad dump is quite the curve

GentlePurpleRain

14:33

What BC said. (I was just about to say it)

dcfyj

lol

Deusovi

As is mine. Probably a very different curve from yours.

GentlePurpleRain

Any objections to EMBASSY?

Sid

should we go for Embassy?

dcfyj

I object!

GentlePurpleRain

14:34

Is there something called a Scottish March?

The GAME of golf was famously invented by the Scottish...

Business Cat

That's a stretch

GentlePurpleRain

In the absence of (valid) objections:

EMBASSY

Deusovi

ASSASSIN GG

n_palum

@Deusovi Opposite I presume

Game over.........................

Sid

WTF?

Rubio

14:35

wow.

was it LEPRECHAUN?

Sconibulus

I totally called it

Gareth McCaughan

n_palum strikes again!

5

Sp3000

I'm going to guess 2 of our remaining are HEART+KETCHUP

Rubio

cuz I'mma giggle

dcfyj

lmao, nice

Sid

14:35

Anyway, @Deus

n_palum

No Leprechaun was yours for Drunken

Deusovi

So, theories on my last clue?

Sid

Your words were Ketchup, Carrot, Leprechaun?

Sconibulus

Heart+Ketchup+Leprechaun

dcfyj

@n_palum leprchaun are irish though

Deusovi

14:35

Heart+ketchup+leprechaun was correct.

Sid

close..

n_palum

I couldn't decide between Scotland or Fantasy - I figured if I did fantasy y'all would still muck up and guess Leprechaun

Deusovi

Would "Deuteranopia" have been a clearer clue?

n_palum

@dcfyj yours, as in not mine

Sp3000

I'm not sure how LEPRECHAUN fits

Gareth McCaughan

14:36

because leprechauns like green things

Sid

Green

Gareth McCaughan

and those are red things

Deusovi

@Sp3000 I'm red-green colorblind.

Gareth McCaughan

(but wow, I'd never have thought of doing that)

Deusovi

(It's the most common form of colorblindness, and I've mentioned it before.)

Sp3000

14:36

Ah... I only knew the red part :/

dcfyj

@Deusovi Yeah, I didn't know which colors you couldn't see

Sconibulus

!finalboard

Sid

Yes. I thought carrot because it is orange

n_palum

Yeah so I imagine Deus' curve goes from Freaking out to Happy and mine is calm to losing my mind

Gareth McCaughan

note also that R-G colourblindness doesn't really mean that red and green look alike, at least not in the cases I know of.

Rubio

14:37

I knew but didn't figure out the intent. alas.

Shiro

Deusovi

Originally, I was going to clue CRIMSON, 2 to avoid GREEN with colorblindness stuff. Then Palum clued it on turn 1, and you all missed LEPRECHAUN.

animal, 3: ROBIN, DOG, CALF - probably will hit penguin, but they'll know the rest

yup, hit penguin. ah well, they know the other one - glad they're not considering LOCH NESS

cubes, 2: DICE, ICE - yup, perfect. nicely done everyone
drunken, 2: LEPRECHAUN, FALL - fall should be easy, leprechaun was meant to play off the irish stereotype (I'm sorry)
colorblind, 3: LEPRECHAUN, KETCHUP, HEART. looking for red and green things - hopefully you'll get it.

aaand you take that as CONFIRMATION of ROBOT??? no, I'd've just clued the other two. gah, I was wavering between "deuteranopia" and "colorbli…

Sconibulus

Do I get any credit for figuring out that Embassy was Assassin when Deus clued Drunken?

Sid

Princess? Scotlland has Princess?

Sconibulus

Princess/Loch Ness I'm surprised you went Scotland

Deusovi

14:38

I'd've gone MONSTER for your last clue, Palum.

Sconibulus

I would probably have done 'Lady of the Lake' or something

n_palum

I couldn't think of the exact word I wanted for it

Just Green and Grass - Super easy, stop overdoing it. Just guess it.

"You use your arm to control a puppet, I think you're overthinking this" - Thank you Cat...
Scon hush about this Leprechaun
"Why would we guess randomly" - Thank you AGAIN Cat, you other two need to chill.

Thanks Deus for using Drunken with JACK Daniels/Jack and Coke being a thing.

Even if we're given Jack I have no idea how to connect Point to the others...

Grab 1, hope he can't get 3, and Leprechaun is hit so I can use Fantasy as a clue.

GentlePurpleRain

Curiosity: Could you use the clue RED GREEN because it is a name, even if the clue had nothing to do with the person?

Deusovi

"If Deus can combine Ketchup and Heart then props to him." Red?

n_palum

More meant with Leprechaun still being there

Sconibulus

14:39

Hamburger :)

Deusovi

Blood would've worked even better

Rubio

"GO BACK TO CANADA" ... wow :)

Gareth McCaughan

incidentally

Scottish Marches

Scottish Marches was the term used for the Anglo-Scottish border during the late medieval and early modern eras, characterised by violence and cross-border raids. The Scottish Marches era came to an end during the first decade of the 17th century following the union of the crowns of England and Scotland. == History == === Origins === The Marches were first conceived in a treaty between Henry III of England and Alexander III of Scotland in 1249 as an attempt to control the Anglo-Scottish border by providing a buffer zone. On both sides of the Anglo-Scottish border there were the West Mar...

Deusovi

yeah, I thought Scottish marches were a thing

GentlePurpleRain

So, sorry, what was the second "SCOTTISH" clue supposed to be?

Gareth McCaughan

14:40

and

Deusovi

PRINCESS. Apparently.

Gareth McCaughan

imslp.org/wiki/…

n_palum

Princess...

Sid

apparently Princess

n_palum

I panicked and picked the worse of the two

Gareth McCaughan

14:40

so there are two kinds of scottish marches

Deusovi

Well, I find it amusing that the red team members basically got my clue.

n_palum

I was scared of you guys picking Leprechaun and you one upped that

Deusovi

And the blue team, for some reason, took it as confirmation of ROBOT

Sp3000

My thought for colorblind->robot was just as something commonly humanoid but may not have a notion of colour. Having said that I did wonder about the (3), but since we never considered leprachaun for "Drunken" I couldn't think of any other options there

Gareth McCaughan

FWIW I (observing, not playing) did think of LEPRECHAUN as a possible word for "Drunken" because of the stereotype. But I'm Irish :-).

n_palum

14:41

(I'm not actually mad at you GPR) :P

dcfyj

@Deusovi I only mentioned runaway robot, I wasn't super sure on it lol

n_palum

@GarethMcCaughan Are you still an Irish citizen even though you live in Britain?

GentlePurpleRain

@n_palum Hey, I would be mad at me. Appear out of nowhere, and pick the assassin. That's pretty douchy.

Deusovi

I did drunken first because I figured it was a looser clue - I'd pick up one of them with a 2 clue at the end had you missed one. Then I had the idea to use colorblindness as a clue.

n_palum

@GentlePurpleRain They would've done it anyway it seems

Deusovi

14:42

@GarethMcCaughan That's what I was going for. (Dunno any better ways to clue LEPRECHAUN+FALL.)

Gareth McCaughan

I'm entitled to Irish citizenship. I'm not sure exactly how it works given that I have made no effort as yet to claim it, but if I applied for an Irish passport they'd give me one.

n_palum

Hmm neat, didn't/don't know much about how the relationships between all those places work

Sid

Ireland is part of UK or something?

Gareth McCaughan

sigh

GentlePurpleRain

Northern Ireland is part of UK.

Ireland is a separate country.

Gareth McCaughan

14:43

There is an archipelago called the British Isles.

Deusovi

The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained

►

Gareth McCaughan

Its largest island is Great Britain.

Most but not all of the Br Isles are part of a country called the United Kingdom.

This includes part of the island of Ireland, known as Northern Ireland.

The southern part of the island of Ireland is a country, also confusingly called Ireland.

n_palum

... don't sigh at me

Sid

Got it.

Gareth McCaughan

The United Kingdom is so called because it's made up of smaller ex-countries (kinda).

England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales.

n_palum

14:44

I didn't mean the literal countries and how they work I meant about passports and citizenship

Gareth McCaughan

England, Scotland and Wales together occupy the whole of Great Britain

Deusovi

@n_palum Sid was confused. It's reasonable to provide an explanation.

Gareth McCaughan

(and also some smaller islands)

@n_palum On this occasion I wasn't sighing at you.

n_palum

Just realized Sid asked, I thought he was sighing at me

Sconibulus

are things like Anguilla considered part of the UK?

Gareth McCaughan

14:45

sigh

n_palum

"on this occasion"

Gareth McCaughan

Anguilla is an overseas territory; I don't think it quite counts as part of the UK.

GentlePurpleRain

From a global perspective, it's probably most important to understand that there are two countries in the British Isles: the United Kingdom, and Ireland.

Gareth McCaughan

@GentlePurpleRain Yes.

Though there may well be more in the not too distant future depending on the fallout of "Brexit".

e.g., Scotland recently voted not to separate from the UK, but it's not impossible they might vote differently if the UK has left the EU because Scotland has always been very pro-European

GentlePurpleRain

Anyway, another game?

Deusovi

14:46

Sure.

Gareth McCaughan

(though the recent general election gives some evidence that the Scots aren't terribly keen for another independence referendum in the immediate future)

GentlePurpleRain

SMs?

Gareth McCaughan

I can play but will be extremely intermittent

(so in particular shouldn't SM)

Sid

I can play. brb in 5 minutes

Deusovi

I'd be happy to do it again (Especially against Plum. :P ). Or just guessing is fine by me too

n_palum

14:47

I used to be good at this game

Business Cat

Sconibulus

Sp3000

(with apologies to Deus for being a letdown each time)

GentlePurpleRain

14:48

Are those hands for SM, or just to play?

Sp3000

Mine was for playing

n_palum

I can play (can SM technically)

GentlePurpleRain

technically?

Mithrandir

No, you can't.

(not playing)

Deusovi

(no need to apologize - I just don't quite understand how you thought it was a good idea to guess ROBOT there. you didn't understand the clue fully, and I gave a 3 clue, but you decided to go with your original idea)

GentlePurpleRain

14:50

I will SM if no one else wants to.

n_palum

Technically as in time and availability

GentlePurpleRain

but you don't want to?

n_palum

Mith is banning me it seems

Deusovi

@GentlePurpleRain It's not that he doesn't want to, more that other people don't want him to. :P
