@Mithrandir you are sneezing and it's me who has caught a cold..

Mithrandir

@Sid I've got a cold as well...

Which isn't good, especially with a 25 hour fast starting in a few hours.

Sid

14:31

fast?

Mithrandir

When you don't eat.

Or drink.

Sid

... of course. why would you fast?

Wait, you are allowed to drink water, surely.

Mithrandir

@Sid nope

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tisha_B%27Av

Mike Q

Oh is that today? (Also, isn't there a ruling that you can drink water for health purposes?)

Sconibulus

Aren't you supposed to not do that if you're not feeling well?

Mithrandir

14:35

Yeah, but a cold isn't serious enough.

Sid

Wow. No water for a day sounds very strict to me. Anyway, thanks for that information. Rather sad the reason why you have to fast, though. :-(

Mithrandir

Yep. :/

Sid

(Also, I am sort of half-embarrassed at how little I know of religions... :/)

Mithrandir

Anyway, as that isn't for another few hours, do we have enough for a game?

I can SM if it's necessary, but I'd prefer if someone else could.

Mike Q

Sure... o/

Sid

14:38

I would like to point out that I might be called away by friends at any time within the next hour..

Wait, you aren't allowed to bath as well? :o

Mithrandir

Nope.

At least there's AC.

Mike Q

AC is kind of a necessity where Mith is - although after a while, I imagine that you'd get accustomed to it

Business Cat

I can play but not fully here

Mithrandir

Yeah. It's supposed to be 100+° tomorrow.

Sid

Wow... I would never have been able to do all these things that Mith at such a young age does.

Mike Q

14:48

Although, if I recall, it's a dry heat rather than humid. So it's at least somewhat tolerable.

Mithrandir

@Sid ^_^ (I just wonder how my 12 year old sister is going to handle it)

Forklift

playing a game?

Sid

Not yet. I was just marveling at all the things that Mith does at his age which I am sure I couldn't do even at my age now..

Forklift

whenever I start to think I compare unfavorably to others, I try to remember that they probably have never rapped on stage with Vanilla Ice

Business Cat

15:03

I just remember that I have 9 lives and they don't

n_palum

@Forklift Please tell me this is real

Forklift

man... the amount of video games I could play if I had 9 lives...

@n_palum of course. A New Years concert in King of Prussia

I've also seen him play in Allentown

n_palum

XD That's amazing

Mike Q

@Forklift Elaboration is required

Forklift

ok but then a game!

been a huge fan my whole life (something I refuse to try to defend). Saw there was a show, got some VIP tickets. Wore my old Vanilla Ice t-shirt from 1990. He looks down, see my shirt, pulls me up on stage and we rap Ice Ice Baby together.

after the show partied with him backstage for a while.

Sconibulus

15:09

How tempted were you to start singing Under Pressure instead? :)

Forklift

that was like.. 10 years ago.

@Sconibulus as hilarious as that would have been, it never occurred to me. I was totally idol blind

@n_palum well, not much exists online from the age of the dinosaurs, but I did find this still up from the show: philadelphia.eventful.com/events/new-years-eve-2007-ce-/…

Mike Q

Mythical rappers aside, who would like to play some codenames?

Rubio

15:24

@MikeQ Not in here - you know what this room is(n't) for

Mike Q

@Rubio "For playing the game Codenames."

Rubio

Oh, pff. That's just what it says. We all know this room is for talking about bots, or games n_palum has ruined, or - well - really anything but playing the game.

Sconibulus

anything-but-games

Business Cat

I'll play a game

And I could probably SM this time

Forklift

I'm in

Mike Q

15:34

And my axe!

Rubio

CODENAMES RULES
---------------

We split into two teams: red and blue. Each team has one "spymaster", and the rest of its players are "operatives".

(Sorry, I didn't come up with the theme.)

Everyone will see a 5x5 grid of words, representing people. Some of these words are "agents" for the red and blue teams, some are regular people, and one is the assassin.

The goal of the game is for your operatives to contact all your agents (guess all your team's words) before the other team does.

----

Clues: one (possibly hyphenated) word, dictionary phrase, or actual name of actual thing ("New York", "Pride and Prejudice"). Clues must be semantic, not based on spelling or board position.

Mike Q

Oh, well that's interesting. The rules don't mention blaming plum for when the game falls apart... must be outdated.

Rubio

Can a couple of you star the RULES post (only) please.

Forklift

thanks @Rubio. now that we've all had a rules refresher, shall we play?

Rubio

sorry - wasn't here to play just now

Business Cat

15:39

The rules should probably say you have to make at least 1 guess before passing

Rubio

added.

Forklift

so... someone ping me if we ever get a game going. I'm in if we start in the next 1.25 hours. after that, a meeting

Mike Q

@BusinessCat SM?

Business Cat

Yeah I could

Mike Q

Hm, not enough people...

Forklift

15:50

6 should be minimum, I think. otherwise no one tells me I;m wrong

Sconibulus

16:11

am alive

Business Cat

You can play with 4, but it's not as fun with only 1 operative on a team

2 hours later…

ffao

18:22

@Rubio Giving a clue with number zero does tell your team how many it relates to

Rubio

lol. I didn't write that. You're right, of course.

rule text tweaked.

5 hours later…
