micsthepick

@ASCII-only SM?

or @JohnDvorak

ASCII-only

i'm fine with SM, although there's a 95% chance that any given clue will be really bad

John Dvorak

00:15

I can SM if needed

thecoder16

@ASCII-only same, so it'll be even :P

micsthepick

hey, It's Codenames, Every Clue Is a Stretch.

ASCII-only

Codnames?

micsthepick

bah, silent e, who cares.

ManyPinkHats

It's like Codenames but all 25 words are fish

John Dvorak

00:18

We could try that variant

ASCII-only

@ManyPinkHats Fish (4)

micsthepick

John Dvorak

micsthepick

ffao

micsthepick

00:27

I think I probably should just listen to the Echo after this Lecture

John Dvorak

I think MPH and I might be at a disadvantage here... :P

ASCII-only

@JohnDvorak yes. definitely.

@micsthepick ~~what uni~~

thecoder16

life is hard

ffao

all I do is hit assassins

you're fine

ASCII-only

@ffao what.

thecoder16

John Dvorak

brush

thecoder16

what's the command again?

ffao

!imagehost imgur

thecoder16

!sethost imgur

ManyPinkHats

00:32

image never to be found again

John Dvorak

eye?

thecoder16

!board

Shiro

micsthepick

I think imagehost was an admin command?

thecoder16

there e g

John Dvorak

00:32

paper?

thecoder16

john dvorak how did you guess one without seeing the board

ManyPinkHats

certainly BRUSH right?

ASCII-only

@micsthepick it is

ffao

I happen to be an admin so it's fine

ASCII-only

@thecoder16 the board's already been posted before

John Dvorak

00:33

BRUSH

thecoder16

oh

ASCII-only

BRUSH is red

ManyPinkHats

might be paper, might be PIPE because of that famous Ceci n'est pas une pipe painting

or am I overthinking things?

John Dvorak

Interesting idea about pipe.

Paper first?

ManyPinkHats

sure, go for paper, and then pass rather than guess at a third

John Dvorak

00:35

PAPER

ASCII-only

PAPER is red

John Dvorak

[PASS]

Shiro

ASCII-only

@ManyPinkHats why would you guess at third with no more info :P

John Dvorak

shhh

micsthepick

00:35

because yolo

thecoder16

ANIMAL, 2

@micsthepick @ffao

micsthepick

well, cat

ffao

cat

thecoder16

cat is blue

ffao

for the next one... fly?

micsthepick

00:37

now the other things I saw were eye, web, fly

wait

perhaps net?

ffao

net sounds like more of a stretch than those other ones

micsthepick

I think eye > fly

ffao

hmm... I'm ok with either

micsthepick

go for eye then?

or does web stand out

John Dvorak

You seem to have an eye for an eye

ffao

00:42

I would go for fly before web

ASCII-only

@JohnDvorak :|

micsthepick

EYE

thecoder16

assassin

i'm best sm

micsthepick

wait

John Dvorak

I didn't SEE that coming

micsthepick

00:43

you aren't joking

thecoder16

darn hard board
(animal, 2)
oh cmon just choose the actual animal plz
mics stop overthinkinggggg
why would eye > fly
aaaaaa
i am clearly best sm
ffao please talk reason into mics
this is the few-people-with-bad-sm disease
mics nooooooo
ok now mics keep overthinking
and overthink all the way back to fly

ffao

see, I told you I'm good at hitting assassins

thecoder16

i assumed you would pick the actual animals first

i assumed wrong

micsthepick

hey, don't steal my thunder

thecoder16

lol

ffao

00:44

I would, but mics was really adamant about not saying fly for whatever reason :P

John Dvorak

I was just watching in silent amazement

micsthepick

oh

ASCII-only

I thought ANIMAL (2) was a good clue too >_>

thecoder16

TODO: Add @micsthepick to !blame function

micsthepick

I'm an idiot

4

I didn't see it until now

ManyPinkHats

00:44

you were only thinking of FLY as the verb, then?

micsthepick

yeppo

ASCII-only

10/10 longest short game ever

thecoder16

lol

John Dvorak

Forgetting homonyms. Common cause of lost words.

micsthepick

@thecoder16 this is completely on me

thecoder16

00:45

lol it's fine its amusing

if for some reason this game was for money, well then

ASCII-only

@ffao show completed board pls

thecoder16

!finalboard

Shiro

ASCII-only

@thecoder16 it's for imaginary internet monies :P

thecoder16

we should gamble reputation :P

micsthepick

00:46

a practice that the CM's would certainly be supportive of.

thecoder16

certainly

shall we newgame with same sm's?

micsthepick

o/

ASCII-only

oh yeah. I was also a terrible SM, red had EYE as a candidate guess too >_>

thecoder16

well i thought your clue was fine

micsthepick

I thought both SM's did great

thecoder16

ASCII-only

@GettingNifty ???

GettingNifty

ok so where we at

John Dvorak

I've never heard of "drop".

micsthepick

waiting for @thecoder16 to tell us what deck is

GettingNifty

00:54

oh it just restarted

thecoder16

dekc is whatever i am

um

red

John Dvorak

I have considered contract, though not for that reason

HAND

GettingNifty

so do we take turns or

thecoder16

hand is red

phenomist

i have no idea how smuggler would work

John Dvorak

00:55

contract next?

ManyPinkHats

yes, @GettingNifty, and it's currently the other team's turn

A: What are these chatrooms with names like 'Codenames', 'Contact', and 'Spyfall'? What are they for?

Codenames Overview: Codenames has an espionage setting, in which players in teams try to identify their own team's secret agents, based on their agents' code names. Codenames is a game of guessing which code names (words) in a set are related to a hint-word given by another player. --Wi...

John Dvorak

or drop next?

ManyPinkHats

Did you read the rules at the link mics just posted?

micsthepick

That page has the rules

GettingNifty

00:56

who

micsthepick

you

GettingNifty

contract next

ASCII-only

~~ok. blue's turn now right~~ oh wait we're blue this game >_> i'm very smart

micsthepick

no

we have two guesses left

GettingNifty

!list

micsthepick

00:57

so, explain contract.

phenomist

i'd like to know john's alternative reasoning

GettingNifty

This is my first time playing.

John Dvorak

Just a gut feeling for contract

phenomist

mine is that contract is a bridge term

micsthepick

that does not mean anything to me

phenomist

00:59

bridge is a card game

micsthepick

ah

John Dvorak

I don't get drop

micsthepick

well, we can still pass

John Dvorak

nah, let's not pass

GettingNifty
