Meh. Nothing works in this clue. #BlametheSM

Deusovi

Nothing seems particularly compelling to me.

Mithrandir

...this is the internet, so CAT of course :P

Deusovi

CHARGE can mean "person taken care of by someone else", right?

that's really tenuous but it's the best I've got

GentlePurpleRain

AFK for about 2 minutes.

ManyPinkHats

ANTARCTICA, where 83% of babies are created before going to the stork distribution network

Mithrandir

21:03

@Deusovi that works

@ManyPinkHats hush you

Deusovi

do you think John would do that with his clue though?

Mithrandir

Deusovi

hm, do babies have a particular affinity for ice cream?

Mithrandir

Babies can't have ice cream

GentlePurpleRain

back

Deusovi

21:05

wouldn't think so, but... hm.

we're also still missing a soup - any ideas for that?

Sid

There's really nothing on this board that screams "Baby" to me.

Mithrandir

welp. just go for ice cream

it's been mentioned for both baby and soup :P

(and of course it'll be the assassin, but)

Deusovi

if you want to, go for it

dooog

blame command ready

micsthepick

hello

Mithrandir

21:08

ICE CREAM

GentlePurpleRain

ICE CREAM is YELLOW

micsthepick

aww

Mithrandir

well. not too bad

GentlePurpleRain

Blue: Smartphone (∞)

!board

Shiro

phenomist

21:08

tap, charge, check

dooog

link

ManyPinkHats

I'm good with those four

phenomist

kind of want to go with spring to satisfy prom (2)

dooog

i think spring must be one

yeah, seems like he assumes spring is our next guess for prom

phenomist

although

if 3 work, he should just say (3)

dooog

21:10

charge, tap, and link all seem like good options for smartphone

thats true

phenomist

so maybe spring + antarctica + some 2?

dooog

well the 4 for tourism could have been limousine, loch ness, fly, and mexico

in which case it would be spring + 3 for smartphone

phenomist

i'm very hesitant to accept limo for tourism

i'm assuming smartphone is actually 2

ManyPinkHats

if smartphone is actually 2, that would explain the unlimited clue

phenomist

feel like charge+check could have a better clue related to money

dooog

21:12

i think charge+link would be the 2

ManyPinkHats

I think TAP is probably my top guess

phenomist

yeah tap seems like a deliberately smartphone thing to do

ManyPinkHats

if it were charge+link, I think 'Cable' would have been the clue

dooog

yeah true

ManyPinkHats

current words: TAP, CHARGE, LINK, CHECK, SPRING, ANTARCTICA

GentlePurpleRain

21:14

PSA: I will be leaving in <15 minutes.

ManyPinkHats

I think we should guess TAP first

phenomist

sure

dooog

ok sure

ManyPinkHats

TAP

John Dvorak

blue

dooog

21:15

charge, spring, antarctica imo

phenomist

yea sounds good

ManyPinkHats

alright, I agree too

CHARGE

John Dvorak

yellow

GentlePurpleRain

CHARGE is YELLOW

John Dvorak

Red: SPHINX(2)

ManyPinkHats

21:16

!board

dooog

i blame mithrandir

Shiro

Deusovi

rock, cat, then mug for our last one?

@Mithrandir? @sid?

Sid

Sphinx was a Cat?

Deusovi

head of a human, body of a lion

Sid

21:18

Head of a human.... so why not RULER?

Mithrandir

cat works

why MUG?

Deusovi

why RULER?

mug, because we still need a soup

Sid

Human->King->Ruler?

Mithrandir

CAT

John Dvorak

red

Sid

21:19

Oh. Scratch Ruler, now. :P

Deusovi

there are lots of other humans who aren't kings, in case you haven't noticed

ROCK

John Dvorak

red

Mithrandir

i was sorta thinking spring for soup

Deusovi

no, definitely not

...but it could've been ROCK, now that I think about it

Mithrandir

Stone soup

Deusovi

21:20

exactly

Mithrandir

hmm.

Sid

Oh. Those are Pyramids, not Sphinx where they buried rulers...

Deusovi

ah, yeah

Sid

I should just shut up and listen to these mods.

Deusovi

so.

!board

Shiro

21:22

GentlePurpleRain

struggles to stay awake

Mithrandir

then again, the egyptian sphinx does have that royal headdress thing, no?

Deusovi

soup, 3: CHICK, COOK, ROCK(?)
clothing, 2 - BOOT, TRUNK
baby, 2 - CAT(?), ?
sphinx, 2 - ROCK, CAT

sorry GPR, we're under a lot of pressure

GentlePurpleRain

If you're discussing things, that's fine. There's just nothing happening at all... :)

Deusovi

I'm attempting to make things happen.

I'd say not RULER. I also don't see a way that CHECK, PITCH, or ANTARCTICA could work.

Mithrandir

21:25

Well. Let's go word-by-word and see which one matches up the closest with out clues.

micsthepick

btw @Deusovi I made a program to generate the records like in the MIT hunt (33rm/mixtape)

GentlePurpleRain

@John If I run out of time, can I leave you my (hopefully) last clue to share?

Sid

I don't really understand what that Baby clue was all about.

Deusovi

Which leaves MUG, SPRING, LINK. I think SPRING is theirs; GPR wouldn't have gone for an infinity clue if they were heavily considering one of our clues.

John Dvorak

@GentlePurpleRain that sounds good, pass me an OTS.

Deusovi

21:26

(apologies for the delay, GPR)

John Dvorak

I'd be really surprised if you had another chance to clue :P

Mithrandir

I'm going to say we go for MUG. If we don't, we probably lose anyway, so what do we have to lose... aside the game?

Deusovi

Fair enough.

MUG

John Dvorak

yellow

Mithrandir

welp

Sid

21:27

Oh, well. Yellow are on the top of their game today..

John Dvorak

On the other hand... no need for OTS.

micsthepick

seems like yellow has a chance at winning after all :P

Mithrandir

GentlePurpleRain

Blue: Chess (0)

Shiro

phenomist

21:28

spring antarctica link then

ManyPinkHats

I think so

dooog

sure

ManyPinkHats

SPRING

GentlePurpleRain

blue

John Dvorak

blue

ManyPinkHats

21:28

ANTARCTICA

John Dvorak

blue

ManyPinkHats

LINK

GentlePurpleRain

LINK is blue

John Dvorak

great last clue @GentlePurpleRain

micsthepick

good game

Sid

21:29

GentlePurpleRain

Thanks.

ManyPinkHats

micsthepick

great clue

Mithrandir

micsthepick

11/10

Sid

21:29

Don't tell me the last one was RULER...

Deusovi

nicely done. and now @JohnDvorak is going to tell us what the hell "baby" was supposed to be

GentlePurpleRain

Explain BABY to me. I didn't get that clue.

John Dvorak

ROCK/CHECK

both as verbs

Deusovi

ROCK, I get. CHECK though?

Sid

CHECK=Baby???

John Dvorak

21:30

You need to check them often

GentlePurpleRain

I totally missed CHARGE as in "charge a cell phone". I was thinking like a bull or a credit card.

Mithrandir

Yuck.

John Dvorak

I had to make a clue out of ROCK, CHECK, CAT. And I hadn't thought of SPHINX yet.

Deusovi

for ROCK/CHECK, I probably would've used CASTLE.

ManyPinkHats

eh, that cuts too close to RULER for my taste, I fear

John Dvorak

21:31

I wouldn't have thought of check = castle

Deusovi

oh right, RULER is a thing

micsthepick

!finalboard

John Dvorak

and yes, RULER totally was getting in the way.

GentlePurpleRain

RULER is the assassin

Shiro

Deusovi

21:31

oh. that makes sense then

GentlePurpleRain

bye, all. Thanks for the game!

John Dvorak

I also confirm stone soup

Deusovi

See ya!

ManyPinkHats

see y'all later

John Dvorak

Thanks for the game

micsthepick

21:32

bye \o

John Dvorak

My words: Germany, cook, check, cat, rock, trunk, chick, boot
Black: Ruler

I go second, yay

Four different C-words. Too bad I can't clue that.

Blue goes Tourism. That clears out Germany from my board.

Cat, Chick are animals. Turkey might die soon, Fly might as well

"Puss in the boots" is a thing, but cluing "puss" might get me in trouble.

Good start, with first Germany

SOUP(3) for rock / chick / cook? Might not get rock or chick, but no other good matches.

Cook yes, ice cream no, mug no. I can understand mug. Disease, why?

Mithrandir

now i'm interested in the logs, if they exist

micsthepick

well there's one.

Mithrandir

@GentlePurpleRain p/

micsthepick

John Dvorak

21:34

I can still play

dooog

Have to dip for about an hour, hopefully there's a game afterward

John Dvorak

Ping me if there's a game

Mithrandir

i can't, have to finish up and sleep 'cause peeps are bugging me

Sid

Off to sleep. Can't play anymore. Have a nice day all
