@mics can we have a clue?

micsthepick

RED: prevent, (2)

boboquack

!board

Shiro

Wen1now

T = 10n^2 where T is time taken per guess and n is the number of players on a team

boboquack

...

ppperry

01:01

I got "image not found"

Wen1now

(T in seconds)

Try again then?

!board

boboquack

@Wen1now that's not exponential

Shiro

Wen1now

Exponential is too fast IMO

thecoder16

T = 2*10^n

boboquack

01:02

BLOCK seems good

thecoder16

how bout that :P

Wen1now

so with 4 people, it'll take... roughly 6 hours

ppperry

that's too slow then

boboquack

@as4, @mik, happy with block?

thecoder16

@Wen1now who says it won't

Mike Q

01:03

Yes

as4s4hetic

yep

Wen1now

Look, they're coming to a decision already

Mike Q

I'd say BLOCK and POST

like a fence post

Wen1now

That was roughly a minute or two

as4s4hetic

I... disagree with post

boboquack

01:04

i'd say BLOCK first, then POST?

ppperry

it hasn't been bolded yet

boboquack

not so sure about post

Mike Q

BLOCK

ppperry

the team hasn't come to an agreement

micsthepick

BLOCK is RED

as4s4hetic

01:04

what about watch

ppperry

for post, that is

thecoder16

and now comes the 6 hours

Mike Q

@as4s4hetic Watch -> Prevent? How?

boboquack

yeah, not sure about watch

what about the other bone?

Mike Q

strike -> broken bone?

boboquack

01:07

very tenuous imo

thecoder16

if you walk up to a lion he might break your bones

as4s4hetic

or tie

Wen1now

I still think it grows quadratically

as4s4hetic

yeah alright watch is a bit of a stretch

Wen1now

T=50n^2-30

boboquack

01:08

should we pass and hope mics can clarify with their next clue?

Wen1now

ping me when it's my turn

Mike Q

should I just guess a random word

thecoder16

T=G(n) where that is the nth graham number

Mike Q

This game is going nowhere

boboquack

@MikeQ I'd say pass

Rubio

01:11

T=2^(n-1) in minutes seems like it's not all that bad an estimate, to be honest.

boboquack

@thecoder16 g_n then?

ppperry

no

thecoder16

@boboquack sure

ppperry

it took me far less than one minute to guess WELL at the very beginning

Mike Q

It seems like this O(n) discussion is more interesting than the game itself

PLATYPUS

micsthepick

01:11

gg

Assasin

Rubio

hah

ppperry

(as an (incorrect) clue for liquid)

Mike Q

Haha excellent!

boboquack

why would you guess PLATYPUS randomly?

Rubio

I knew I didn't like PLATYPUS for liquid

boboquack

01:12

btw BLUE LIQUID IS A STATE OF MATTER

micsthepick

Thought dump?

Deusovi

oh, that makes sense

thecoder16

hm

Deusovi

thought dump!

micsthepick

Yes Mike, bone club!
But not soup stock…
You already said the answer!
You have to hurry up, or this game will have to end abruptly.
Berlin was easy, let’s see if you can get the other one…
MAKE A GUESS!
YES!
Cmon, you got this, get that club right…
Sigh…
You’ll be smart to hold off on that platypus Deus.
You wanted a clue, but this one may not be satisfying…
Welp. Should have clued restrain (2) instead of prevent (2) D:
TIE has been mentioned! Probably not going to get through though
Passing is probably the best thing to do.

Mike Q

01:13

Anyhow. I said something and the game ended. Therefore I am the winner.

thecoder16

sound logic

ppperry

no, WE are the winners

boboquack

so can we do a game without random guesses?

ppperry

because you randomly guessed the assassin

Mike Q

can we do a game with ONLY random guesses

Wen1now

01:14

This is a really risky clue... hopefully p realises I would've clued water instead
LIQUID, 3 (MERCURY, STATE) ~JAM?? a tiny bit tenuous (Actually, a lot bit)
Hmm... europe is going to be hard to clue
Maybe medieval, 3? We need to kill rome first though... medieval seems bad
These words are terrible.
COLOURFUL, 2 (GREEN, DIAMOND)
Yes! Go Deus.
How do you know what I'm thinking?
(no, but I'm confident that Wen would have thought that)
Okay, landlocked *may* clear medieval but I doubt it. There seem to be more words than I remembered.

micsthepick

!finalboard

Deusovi

if you had given us "matter, unlimited" at the end we would've gotten it

boboquack

Another game?

thecoder16

hmm is thought dumping a tradition now

Wen1now

!finalboard

Shiro

boboquack

Raise hand to play

O/ or o/

Wen1now

@Deusovi Is this directed at me?

Deusovi

boboquack

@micsthepick so O/ again?

micsthepick

Gotta do some maths rn.

Deusovi

hey, is there any way to make images smaller when inserting them into a post?

boboquack

01:16

i.stack.imgur/abcdem.png

Wen1now

Make the original image smaller?

Rubio

put a "m" or "t" at the end of the hash

boboquack

or i.stack.imgur/abcdes.png

Deusovi

thanks!

as4s4hetic

o/

Rubio

01:17

i.sstatic.net/system.png is a valid url. I find this strangely satisfying.

Wen1now

Who is O/ing?

boboquack

O/

Wen1now

Okay

Deusovi

alright, I can spymaster now

boboquack

Why is there a mod team again? I want a mod battle :P

ppperry

chance

Rubio

I see ffao implemented my feature request

of always putting mods on team blue :)

ppperry

so, what if only mods end up in a game?

boboquack

Wen1now got your secret? Got mine

Wen1now

01:22

Yep

boboquack

whee, let's go

as4s4hetic

^-^

Rubio

i'm just going to random guess platypus again anyway

Wen1now

BLUE: water, 2

Rubio

ice, mine, octopus.

Deusovi

01:25

why mine?

Rubio

there are underwater mines

that blow up ships

but I doubt that's what wen1now has in mind :)

Deusovi

ehh

ICE

Wen1now

ice is blue

Deusovi

OCTOPUS

Wen1now

blue

Deusovi

01:26

[passing]

Shiro

boboquack

RED: walks, 3

ppperry

would SOLDIER be a good guess?

@as4s4hetic

as4s4hetic

soldier, march and cat?

ppperry

it would just be walk without the s if it was march

cat looks good, though

SOLDIER

boboquack

01:28

yellow

as4s4hetic

...........

Rubio

welp.

as4s4hetic

yikes

Wen1now

(btw, I think turns taken also affects turn time)

Deusovi

come on, everyone knows that soldiers are secretly levitating

ppperry

01:28

er, what?

Wen1now

(so later in the game people take longer)

ppperry

so

later in the game people should take less time

because words that have already been guessed can't be guessed again.

Rubio

!board

Shiro

Rubio

I'm standing by my T=(n^2)/2 in minutes estimate as a decent first-order approximation - that's probably closer

Wen1now

01:30

That seems reasonable

That's quite similar to my T=50n^2-30 in seconds

Rubio

you know it's your turn to give a clue right?

Wen1now

yep. I'll hurry up a bit

Rubio

not rushing, just confirming ;)

Wen1now

BLUE: earth, 2

Deusovi

rock ground

Rubio

01:33

aye

Deusovi

(I was leaning away from ground because it could've been clued with WATER, but that's fairly clear)

ROCK

boboquack

red

Deusovi

the fuck.

Rubio

...

boboquack

!board

Shiro

01:34

Deusovi

sorry for the language, but... what???

boboquack

@wen onetimesecret.com/secret/adk0621fwauopv6in18sirixrgmbb2u valid?

as4s4hetic

ok so no matter what the clue is can we guess cat

Wen1now

Sure, why not. btw, I've got hangouts open

ppperry

yah, I would think that would be good

boboquack

01:36

RED: inner core, 2

don't mind the caps, totally irrelevant

ppperry

"Clues can be one word (hyphenated or not) or names (like "New York" or "Pride and Prejudice" - which may be multiple words, but should be real things). You may not clue based on spelling or position on the board. "

boboquack

@ppperry inner core is a real thing

ppperry

is "inner core" a name of a real thing? If so, why isn't it titlecased?

boboquack

plus wen said yes

Deusovi

it's a real thing, like "ice cream"

ppperry

01:38

oh

which I wouldn't call a name, but ok

as4s4hetic

going afk for a bit soon

Rubio

opposing SM okaying it trumps all, regardless

as4s4hetic

but uh cat and core

i mean

center

Deusovi

yeah, the original one had a separate clause including things like "ice cream"

dunno when it got removed

ppperry

CAT

as4s4hetic

01:38

center

boboquack

cat is red

ppperry

I don't really understand this clue, but if you think center fits it, it seems OK to me

Wen1now

'An actual name of an actual thing' - Rubio

Rubio

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.

which used to be pinned, but may have fallen off, or been unpinned

as4s4hetic

CENTER

Wen1now

01:41

center is red

ppperry

it doesn't seem to be pinned

(although it is starred)

as4s4hetic

dragon?

Wen1now

I think an actual name of an actual thing is better - short, and to the point

ppperry

no, dragons don't walk, they fly

as4s4hetic

some harry potter stuff

like the core of harry's wand is dragon or something

Im grasping at straws

OH

LEAD

Rubio

01:43

keep trying. ;)

as4s4hetic

LEAD

boboquack

lead is red

ppperry

what?

how did that fit a clue?

ffao

!join

as4s4hetic

lead pencil

Shiro

01:44

Hi ffao, you'll be joining team blue!

boboquack

blue's turn

Shiro

BLUE: Wen1now, Deusovi, Rubio, ffao

boboquack

!board

Shiro

Deusovi

@Wen1now? clue coming? not rushing, just making sure you know

Wen1now

01:47

yep

boboquack

Update: Wen has just asked me for the validity of a certain clue

Wen1now

BLUE: lighted, 3

Sorry I meant 3, 2 was a typo

Rubio

hm.

You know that the object here is to give clues we can guess right? ;)

Deusovi

ground for earth?

or maybe not since rock was wrong? :/

Rubio

if ground isn't we're dead already

ffao

01:53

ground has to be right

Deusovi

fair enough

GROUND

boboquack

blue

Deusovi

egypt? it's ON earth

Rubio

for lighted, CONCERT perhaps

Deusovi

maybe wall or mine for lighted

Rubio

01:54

why "lighted" and not "lit"

Deusovi

no idea

but then again I'm not sure what this clue means

ffao

bolt because lightning? idk

Deusovi

sure, why not

ffao

I'm not sure atm either

Deusovi

that sounds plausible

Rubio

01:55

FIELD might be earth (crop fields, soil) and lighted (baseball/football)

Deusovi

like, "lit" could link two (somehow?) and then it was changed to "lighted" to pick up "bolt"

ffao

hmm, I like the idea of a lit place like concert

Deusovi

concert and bolt sound the least terrible to me right now

Rubio

concert > bolt then?

Deusovi

sure

Rubio

01:57

CONCERT

boboquack

blue

Rubio

BOLT

boboquack

blue too

ffao

nice

Deusovi

field then?

ffao

01:58

I have no other ideas

Rubio

same

Deusovi

field is the only thing that seems remotely plausible to me

should we go for it?

Rubio

FIELD

no. ;)

Wen1now

blue

Rubio

woot.

Deusovi

01:58

!board

Shiro

ffao

so we got that clue. somehow

Deusovi

or we got lucky

...would Wen double-clue?

Rubio

either way we got lucky :)

Deusovi

or is not xor
