18:00

there's a 16.(6)% probability I get it right

GentlePurpleRain

Again, not even remotely accurate, but whatever.

Get on with it.

Erik the Outgolfer

I can't bother calculating the percentage with clues included

GentlePurpleRain

Are there any "delay of game" penalties in Codenames?

This is getting ridiculous.

dcfyj

hmm, clue ambulance ghost and wake mayhaps? dead should work

BLUE: DEAD (3): ambulance, ghost, wake

Yay, he got the most tenous one (ambulance in my mind)

3 for 3 :)

Red: SLEEP (2): bed and I have no clue what the second is :S Deck maybe? like sleep deck?

"yay I didn't guess deathbed :P" probably because I clued dead not death :P

I wish lead or glove were gone, I could clue metallurgy or hand...

BLUE: NAME (1): tag

I would've clued something better but there's stuff in my way :(

hah, Ascii got it and erik guessed saturn

Shiro

Erik the Outgolfer

we won!

Shiro

dcfyj

Took long enough

Erik the Outgolfer

oh you listened to GPR

Sid

DEAD(3) - Nice clue dcfyj. Maybe they will guess BED. ... They don't. Fine.

Sleep(2) - BED, FORCE.
Force is weak but even if cows goes for Bug, it's only neutral.
LOG? Where did LOG come from? WHY is sleep=LOG?

NAME(1) - ..What clue is that? He's probably going for TAG but that's not at all obvious. Yeah, they missed.

Captain(2) - DECK, LEAD. GPR joins! Great. They get both! Wait, why CAST? Why is sleep=cast? Someone explain.

Metallurgy(2) - I see CONDUCTOR. But, which one's the second? Oh, they guessed fire. I guess that was logical.

GentlePurpleRain

@Sid, "Sleep like a log"

Sid

18:03

Oh. Didn't know that.

GentlePurpleRain

@Sid, "Cast a sleep spell" (like in an RPG) - that one was tenuous, I know.

Mithrandir

Sleeper tags are a thing BTW

GentlePurpleRain

One more? I can SM.

Cows quack

Shiro

RED: GentlePurpleRain, Cows quack, John Dvorak, Erik the Outgolfer

Erik the Outgolfer

sorry I was busy

GentlePurpleRain

18:06

You're generally supposed to just !join, but whatever.

dcfyj

brb

Cows quack

why does shiro only pin one of the messages?

John Dvorak

I'm red (ad-ab-had ad-ab-eed)

Erik the Outgolfer

just revenging against Mith :P (also, I prefer red in this case)

Mithrandir

!blame

Shiro

18:08

It's Mithrandir's fault.

Erik the Outgolfer

exactly!

Cows quack

(is mith n_palum's sock now >_>)

Erik the Outgolfer

(I think the other way, why would a sock elect to be a mod candidate)

Mithrandir

Which reminds me: has anyone seen plum lately?

Erik the Outgolfer

no, I think he has said he's inactive now

Mithrandir

18:09

@EriktheOutgolfer I wasn't elected BTW

Erik the Outgolfer

wait, didn't you nominate yourself in the respective meta post? (yeah "candidate" is a wrong word)

Mithrandir

Yes, but the ultimate decision was up to the CMs, not the votes. Generally the top voted people are appointed, but it's not a given.

dcfyj

back

GentlePurpleRain

Red: Dimension (2)

Erik the Outgolfer

hm, SPACE?

TIME?

heh

John Dvorak

18:11

nice

Erik the Outgolfer

guessing SPACE first

does @Cows agree?

John Dvorak

Lorentz Transform would have been a better clue for the two

Sid

Can you guys speed up a bit?

Erik the Outgolfer

Cowsquack still here? (no ping)

we're waiting for his opinion on the matter

John Dvorak

Just go with what we have

GentlePurpleRain

18:14

At some point you might have to assume they're not going to answer.

Erik the Outgolfer

alright

SPACE

GentlePurpleRain

SPACE is RED

Erik the Outgolfer

TIME

GentlePurpleRain

TIME is RED

Erik the Outgolfer

I guess we should pass now

[pass]

Shiro

18:15

Erik the Outgolfer

passed anyway, no previous clues to consider

Sid

Blue: Tom Holland (4)

dcfyj

Have fun Mith lol

Mithrandir

I don't know who that is ;_;

dcfyj

Beats me haha

pilot?

hollywood?

Cows quack

18:17

@EriktheOutgolfer sorry I had to go

but I'm back now

dcfyj

figure maybe?

Mithrandir

Sounds like an actor to me

Erik the Outgolfer

if you have to go every now and then I'm not sure if you should play here :/

dcfyj

I'm fine with hollywood

GentlePurpleRain

@Erik Why not? People come and go all the time.

Mithrandir

18:18

Ooh, figure seems likely

"public figure" etc

dcfyj

Go figure then? hehe

Mithrandir

FIGURE

GentlePurpleRain

FIGURE is yellow

Cows quack

@EriktheOutgolfer people came suddenly

Sid

yellow. :(

Erik the Outgolfer

18:19

@GentlePurpleRain hm, would be customary to at least let us know if they have to go, but don't know if they always have the time to let us know

John Dvorak

I know what Holland is

Mithrandir

Welp.

dcfyj

oh well, next and only guess for me would be hollywood

GentlePurpleRain

@John That can help us eliminate clues. But don't tell Blue.

dcfyj

FYI @sid, Assume I don't know a name

GentlePurpleRain

18:19

!board

Shiro

Erik the Outgolfer

I wish FIGURE was red

Mithrandir

@dcfyj - if Hollywood is correct, STAR also seems likely

dcfyj

Hadn't even thought of that

Mithrandir

The name is vaguely ringing a bell now. Did I see it on SFF?

Erik the Outgolfer

18:22

@GentlePurpleRain clue done?

dcfyj

Props to you if you know who that is, I don't haha

GentlePurpleRain

Red: LAUNDERING (2)

Cows quack

casino?

Erik the Outgolfer

no, I don't think so

laundering money is when you hide it so that police can't find it IIRC

John Dvorak

washer

Cows quack

18:24

~~what exactly is laundering again?~~

Erik the Outgolfer

WASHER should be first, yeah

Mithrandir

...am I allowed to search SE?

Cows quack

how does washer fit?

dcfyj

@Mithrandir sadly no

John Dvorak

it fits like a glove

Erik the Outgolfer

18:24

because that's what laundering means?

dcfyj

@Cowsquack it doesn't?

Mithrandir

@Cowsquack it holds the screws in, it has to fit

John Dvorak

@dcfyj shush, blue

Cows quack

hey you're in the other team :P

dcfyj

@JohnDvorak I don't know what you're talking about :P

Joey Dionne

18:25

Am I allowed to join blue team just to tell them what their clue is?

Erik the Outgolfer

@dcfyj and it's nothing of your interest ;)

GentlePurpleRain

If you're not going to play, don't join. If you're going to play, even sporadically, then join.

dcfyj

@EriktheOutgolfer It's very much so in my interest

Erik the Outgolfer

WASHER

GentlePurpleRain

Let's stop bickering and play the game!

Cows quack

18:26

then what is a washer? I take it it's not a washing machine...

Erik the Outgolfer

ninja

GentlePurpleRain

WASHER is RED

Erik the Outgolfer

washer is, by common sense, something (or someone) which washes

Joey Dionne

sadly can't play at work, so I won't join

Cows quack

@EriktheOutgolfer that's what I thougt but then how does laundering fit with it

John Dvorak

18:27

You wash laundry

Cows quack

oh pun

Erik the Outgolfer

no pun, it's an actual word

but now let's focus on our other guess

Cows quack

I'm slightly confused

Erik the Outgolfer

CASINO is vaguely related

John Dvorak

Not sure how, but eh

money laundering?

Erik the Outgolfer

18:29

yeah, that

that's why I said "vaguely"

Cows quack

so normal laundering is to do with laundry, but money laundering is completely different? ok

John Dvorak

money laundering makes clean money out of dirty money

Erik the Outgolfer

but I can't really see how money laundering is related to money gambling, maybe because those two are combined so that police won't find out?

John Dvorak

dirty money = money they can take away from you and put you to jail

Cows quack

both (often) involve illicit activities

John Dvorak

18:30

If you bet 1000$ and win 900$, you've just spent 100$ to launder 900$

Cows quack

so that does relate with casino

Erik the Outgolfer

casino is often illegal

so, do we guess CASINO?

that is, before we start hearing snoring from the blues

Cows quack

I'm okay with that

John Dvorak

aye

Erik the Outgolfer

me too

CASINO

dcfyj

18:33

Since when are casino's illegal? There's a bunch of perfectly viable ones in vegas and reno

GentlePurpleRain

CASINO is RED

Erik the Outgolfer

so, we have one guess left, use it or toss it away?

hint: I have no clue about Sid's last clue

dcfyj

Toss it of course

Erik the Outgolfer

you telling me what to do?

:P

dcfyj

(by which I mean guess a random word)

Cows quack

18:34

one guess on what? we've used up 2+2 already

Mithrandir

@EriktheOutgolfer I'm reading Atlas Shrugged. It's moving faster than the game.

John Dvorak

I think we're out of clues?

GentlePurpleRain

@Cows Every turn you get one more guess than what the clue said.

Erik the Outgolfer

that, although I think we should pass

Cows quack

^^^ we're out of clues

Erik the Outgolfer

18:35

there are a lot of words to negatively consider Sid's clue

GentlePurpleRain

Maybe you should debate it for another 20 minutes or so.

Erik the Outgolfer

[pass]

Cows quack

!table

Shiro

Erik the Outgolfer

that irony though

@Cowsquack you mean !board, and that comes automatically after passing

Mithrandir

18:37

Well. @Sid, throw us a miracle.

dcfyj

lol, yes

Cows quack

@EriktheOutgolfer I thought shiro responded to my command (and that table was an alias for board), that timing >_>

Mithrandir

@dcfyj I'm fairly sure I've seen the nane of the last clue on SFF, but I don't remember what context

dcfyj

Couldn't tell you :P

Sid

Blue: FLAME (unlimited)

Mithrandir

18:38

TORCH

dcfyj

star?
orange?
torch?

Sid

Torch is blue

Mithrandir

STAR

dcfyj

hollywood?

GentlePurpleRain

STAR is blue

Mithrandir

18:39

HOLLYWOOD

GentlePurpleRain

HOLLYWOOD is blue

Sid

blue

dcfyj

!board

Shiro

Mithrandir

Go for orange?

dcfyj

18:40

orange is flame related, that's all I've got

sure

Mithrandir

ORANGE

GentlePurpleRain

ORANGE is YELLOW

Erik the Outgolfer

hehe enjoy your short-lasting tie

!board

Mithrandir

No it's not, it's half red

Shiro

GentlePurpleRain

18:41

Red: Obstacle (2)

Cows quack

block?

dcfyj

a shark is an obstacle

Erik the Outgolfer

BLOCK? BEAR?

Cows quack

and cliff?

dcfyj

A pretty hefty one at that

If you're a criminal a copper is an obstacle :P

Erik the Outgolfer

18:41

alright let's do away with BLOCK quickly

Cows quack

but a cow's quack scares off sharks

BLOCK

GentlePurpleRain

BLOCK is RED

Cows quack

by obstacle I'm thinking gpr means physical ones

John Dvorak

cliff?

Cows quack

^

Erik the Outgolfer

18:42

cliff in the sense that you're at the bottom?

John Dvorak

yes

Erik the Outgolfer

I agree

dcfyj

I don't think top or bottom is relevant here

Erik the Outgolfer

CLIFF

GentlePurpleRain

CLIFF is RED

Cows quack

18:43

I thought it was were you're at the top

dcfyj

Pretty sure it's an obstacle either way

Cows quack

it's still an obstacle either way

ninja'd

and now pass

Erik the Outgolfer

[pass]

Shiro

Sid

Blue: dcfyj (3)

John Dvorak

18:45

wha.

dcfyj

See, I've said quite a few of these words

Cows quack

oh I didn't know you were the queen of europe dcfyj

dcfyj

although the most recent were shark and copper

I did mention pilot at one point

Actually, I don't think I've said anything else...

You fine with those 3 @Mithrandir

Mithrandir

...what..

dcfyj

If the clue is me, it's most likely words I've said

Mithrandir

18:47

you sure it's not PRINCESS

SHARK

GentlePurpleRain

SHARK is BLUE

dcfyj

@Mithrandir I never mentioned that word lol

COPPER

GentlePurpleRain

COPPER is BLUE

dcfyj

PILOT

GentlePurpleRain

PILOT is BLUE

dcfyj

18:48

!board

Mithrandir

Wow.

Shiro

Erik the Outgolfer

oh no!

Cows quack

nice

dcfyj

Apparently I only mentioned blue words :P I'm good at this hahaha

Mithrandir

18:48

SPIDER

dcfyj

uh, why spider?

GentlePurpleRain

SPIDER is BLUE

Mithrandir

It clicked.

Sid

That is BLUE.

Erik the Outgolfer

NOOOO

dcfyj

18:48

Red's turn

Mithrandir

The Holland clue

dcfyj

oh ok

Mithrandir

There was a recent HNQ on SFF about him I believe

Erik the Outgolfer

now we must not pass, GPR please think of a clue that is at least (3)

Mithrandir

Which is how I knew the name

dcfyj

18:49

ah ok

Joey Dionne

didn't needed me to join then :D

Mithrandir

[pass]

Shiro

dcfyj

We don't need to pass. We used all our guesses

GentlePurpleRain

Red: Horse race (3)

Erik the Outgolfer

18:50

for whom did you pass right now‽

Mithrandir

@dcfyj Summon the board and stuff

GentlePurpleRain

@Mithrandir There's a command for that...

Mithrandir

@EriktheOutgolfer Nobody. Shiro doesn't actually keep track of whose turn it is.

Cows quack

europe? note? vet?

vet seems more certain

Erik the Outgolfer

yeah, horses are animals

John Dvorak

18:52

Europe seems good

Cows quack

let's start with vet then?

John Dvorak

In America they ride cows

9

Cows quack

then proceed with europe

Erik the Outgolfer

lol

Mithrandir

@JohnDvorak even the quacking ones

Cows quack

18:53

noooo

anyways

Erik the Outgolfer

yeeeees, you can be a STAR and get famous ;)

Cows quack

VET

GentlePurpleRain

VET is RED

Cows quack

next europe

Erik the Outgolfer

yes

Cows quack

18:54

EUROPE

GentlePurpleRain

EUROPE is BLUE!! gg

dcfyj

It's probably not Europe :P

Sid

GG

dcfyj

It's probably circle haha

Shiro

Erik the Outgolfer

3 ninjas in the row

Shiro

Sid

@Gentle I sympathize with you. That was a terrible board for Red.

GentlePurpleRain

18:55

The last clue was awful, but I needed to clue all 3, so I just went with it.

dcfyj

I would've argued against europe, had I been on red :P

Erik the Outgolfer

CIRCLE isn't really related to horse riding, CIRCULAR is :P

Sid

@dcfyj Have you never heard of MARVEL's Spiderman?

dcfyj

yes...?

GentlePurpleRain

DIMENSION (2) for SPACE and TIME
Yes, Erik got them right off the bat!

@JohnDvorak, Lorentz Tranform might be a good clue *if anyone knew what it was*... :P

Yes! Nobody on Blue team knows who Tom Holland is! (neither do I)

LAUNDERING (2) for WASHER and CASINO (tenuous) -- money is often laundered in casinos (at least in the movies)
Yes! They got CASINO right away.
Now just guess WASHER and CASINO...

Doesn't everyone call a washing machine a "washer" for short? I sure do...
"Laundering" meant doing laundry long before it had anything to do with money.

Sid

18:56

He was there in The Avengers movie - Tom Holland.

John Dvorak

I definitely know what a Lorentz transform is :P

Mithrandir

GPR, why "dimension" and not "continuum"?

GentlePurpleRain

Yeah, continuum would have been better. Didn't think of that.

Dimension worked, though.

dcfyj

@Sid As I said, assume I don't know a name

Joey Dionne

Hollywood, Star, Spider, what was the 4th word for holland?

John Dvorak

18:57

General Relativity

Erik the Outgolfer

@GentlePurpleRain QUEEN can be a horse's name as well as EUROPE can ;)

Sid

@JoeyDionne supposed to be Europe because Holland is European. A bit of stretch.

GentlePurpleRain

@EriktheOutgolfer Yeah, I said it was tenuous...

Joey Dionne

I was sure it was QUEEN since spiderman is set in NY

Sid

They should have gotten the other 3 however.

And dcfyj 's trolling helped to get the clues I had a hard-time cluing. :P

dcfyj

18:58

I still don't know who tom is

Mithrandir

You're lucky I'm a SFFer @sid

dcfyj

@Sid That's priceless

No log @sid?

Erik the Outgolfer

that dcfyj clue was the killer though

Joey Dionne

Tom Holland is the actor playing Spiderman

GentlePurpleRain

Joey Dionne

the latest one

dcfyj

Oh, Why would I know that? lol

Mithrandir

73

A: Why was Spider-Man the only person to feel any physical sensation from this event in Infinity War?

Out of Universe From a meta/out-of-universe perspective, Tom Holland actually improvised his death scene. According to Screen Rant, based on a Redditor who had Joe Russo do a Q&A at their school, [Joe Russo] just instructed [Tom Holland] to act like he doesn’t want to leave, it was Holland...

dcfyj

I know only a handful of actor names
