Hola

Zani Xu

19:25

@Mithrandir @EriktheOutgolfer @GentlePurpleRain @JohnDvorak @JoeyDionne @Deusovi @Tumbler41 @dcfyj Ping!

Mithrandir

Don't think I can play now, sorry.

Zani Xu

ok

dcfyj

20:02

@ZaniXu Makes more sense to ping folk when you have sufficient players to start a game in my opinion. Also, I can't play right now either.

Joey Dionne

same for me

Mithrandir

...although now I can.

0/

Joey Dionne

20:47

I can once I'm back at home

in 10-15 minutes

so O/ in 10-15 minutes

Zani Xu

21:18

Can anyone play now?

Mithrandir

Zani Xu

@Mithrandir @EriktheOutgolfer @GentlePurpleRain @JohnDvorak @JoeyDionne @Deusovi @Tumbler41 @dcfyj

O/

GentlePurpleRain

Zani Xu

I did O/

GentlePurpleRain

21:42

Red: Mith, Blue: Erik

never mind.

Zani, you changed yours.

Erik the Outgolfer

nah, looks like Zani has an O/ now...that is, except that he shouldn't leave this time :P

Zani Xu

hey

GentlePurpleRain

Give it time.

Sometimes Shiro gets to it after a minute or so.

Erik the Outgolfer

yesterday (or was it 2 days ago?) Shiro happened to not notice it at all, and Mith had to intervene

John Dvorak

21:44

!join

Shiro

Hi John Dvorak, you'll be joining team red!

Mithrandir

Shiro auto-pin has been borked pretty much forever

Shiro

RED: Zani Xu, GentlePurpleRain, John Dvorak

Zani Xu

Red: Thief (3)

ffao

!join

Shiro

21:44

Hi ffao, you'll be joining team red!

RED: Zani Xu, GentlePurpleRain, John Dvorak, ffao

GentlePurpleRain

Hmm...

SMUGGLER?

ffao

what Mith said about auto-pin being borked forever

GentlePurpleRain

POLICE?

LOCK?

John Dvorak

all good

GentlePurpleRain

I don't think there's anything else that seems to fit.

In that order?

ffao

21:45

I like that order

Erik the Outgolfer

might be SOUL too, it's very bad to feel like your soul has been stolen (note: fictional feeling)

GentlePurpleRain

SMUGGLER

Erik the Outgolfer

:P

Zani Xu

Red

GentlePurpleRain

POLICE

Zani Xu

21:46

yellow

GentlePurpleRain

:(

Joey Dionne

oh shit, the game begun and i'm SM :o

John Dvorak

...

GentlePurpleRain

!board

Erik the Outgolfer

@JoeyDionne just in time for a clue :P

Shiro

21:47

Zani Xu

I can do your clue for you ;)

GentlePurpleRain

Not sure what else to use for THIEF. Maybe ORGAN (like black market organs)? Feels tenuous.

Erik the Outgolfer

yeah thanks let's rather not :P (failed deceiving attempt huh)

ffao

would be my fourth suggestion, but I would have guessed police first anyway

GentlePurpleRain

Oh, maybe HORSE THIEF?

John Dvorak

21:48

Maybe England if they steal themselves a victory at the soccer cup :P

Joey Dionne

Blue : Osiris (2)

ffao

is horse thief a thing?

Erik the Outgolfer

EGYPT?

John Dvorak

horse is also tenuous.

Tumbler41

Ug. Have suggestion but can't join team red...

Mithrandir

21:49

EGYPT

Joey Dionne

EGYPT is blue

Mithrandir

SOUL

Joey Dionne

SOUL is blue

Erik the Outgolfer

wait!!!

oh alright

Mithrandir

[pass]

Erik the Outgolfer

21:50

I just wanted to suggest PRINCESS

Shiro

Erik the Outgolfer

...and you passed

Mithrandir

@EriktheOutgolfer ...why?

Zani Xu

Red: **Puzzle (2) **

Mithrandir

@EriktheOutgolfer It was a (2) clue. I got both of them.

Zani Xu

21:50

Red: **Puzzle (2)**

GentlePurpleRain

CODE

Zani Xu

why isn't it bolded?

GentlePurpleRain

LOCK again?

Erik the Outgolfer

@Zani no spaces between ** and text

GentlePurpleRain

because I'm not guessing yet.

Zani Xu

21:51

Red: **Puzzle (2)**

that doesn't help

John Dvorak

lock doesn't seem to fit puzzle

block for puzzle?

ffao

I like block more

Mithrandir

@ZaniXu You need to not have a newline, so no copy-pasting.

GentlePurpleRain

CODE seems pretty obvious. Should we start with that?

ffao

plus it would be weird for the SM to double-clue this early

John Dvorak

21:51

block > code

Erik the Outgolfer

chat.stackexchange.com/messages/59120/45620798

yes, there's a leading newline

GentlePurpleRain

Really? I would say CODE > BLOCK.

John Dvorak

as you wish

GentlePurpleRain

I think LOCK is a pretty good guess for THIEF anyway, so maybe we start with that.

John Dvorak

agreed

GentlePurpleRain

21:52

LOCK

Zani Xu

red

GentlePurpleRain

@ffao Do you prefer CODE or BLOCK?

ffao

hmm, I guess code

Mithrandir

@EriktheOutgolfer (I still don't get this. Why the heck would PRINCESS be related to Osiris?)

GentlePurpleRain

CODE

Zani Xu

21:53

red

GentlePurpleRain

Now BLOCK?

John Dvorak

yes

Erik the Outgolfer

@Mithrandir (well, an SM is a human, and they might get confused, and it was the word most related to GODDESS in the board)

GentlePurpleRain

We still need a THIEF answer

BLOCK

Zani Xu

red

ffao

21:53

good

GentlePurpleRain

[PASS]

John Dvorak

!board

Shiro

Mithrandir

@EriktheOutgolfer Osiris is male.

Erik the Outgolfer

oh wait what

GentlePurpleRain

21:54

Almost got a bingo! :P

ffao

soul why u.u

John Dvorak

could Osiris be a male princess?

GentlePurpleRain

It's the 21st century. Why not?

Erik the Outgolfer

in the meanwhile...

Mithrandir

i don't think the egyptians were too hung up on it anyway

John Dvorak

21:56

male, female, sometimes falcon

Erik the Outgolfer

wait not owl? :P

GentlePurpleRain

Wasn't Osiris part dog? Or am I confusing him with Anubis?

John Dvorak

Those lived in greece

Joey Dionne

Blue: River (3)

Mithrandir

Anubis was part Jackal. Thoth was part Owl.

Erik the Outgolfer

21:56

river...DUCK? ???

Mithrandir

BED, DUCK

GentlePurpleRain

Jackal, dog, what evs.

Mithrandir

DUCK

Erik the Outgolfer

hm, maybe GRASS too, like what happens around e.g. Nile

Joey Dionne

DUCK is blue

Mithrandir

21:57

BED

Joey Dionne

BED is blue

John Dvorak

I think there's a river in England

GentlePurpleRain

More than one, actually.

Erik the Outgolfer

lol

Mithrandir

@EriktheOutgolfer Seems a bit tenuous.

Erik the Outgolfer

21:58

yeah, Thames is a river

GentlePurpleRain

But then the clue would be RIVERS. :P

Erik the Outgolfer

ignores misleading message

Mithrandir

If it was England, then it probably would have been a specific river. Same as India.

GentlePurpleRain

Assuming Joey knows the name of a specific river in England or India...

Erik the Outgolfer

hm, I'd say INDIA is more likely, like the river at the front of Taj Majal...oh wait, that's not a river right?

Mithrandir

21:59

I say pass.

Erik the Outgolfer

hm

yeah, pass for now

[pass]

Shiro

Zani Xu

Red: Music (2)

GentlePurpleRain

Uhh...

John Dvorak

fan

GentlePurpleRain

22:01

ORGAN

John Dvorak

organ

GentlePurpleRain

I would say ORGAN > FAN. Others?

John Dvorak

ok

Actually a pretty clever clue

ffao

I like organ more as well

GentlePurpleRain

ORGAN

Zani Xu

22:01

red

GentlePurpleRain

FAN

Zani Xu

also red

Erik the Outgolfer

hah, and scroll up to see how clever the RIVER clue was too

GentlePurpleRain

Do we want to guess for THIEF?

Tumbler41

How does fan relate to music?

GentlePurpleRain

22:02

I still think HORSE is the best bet.

@Tumbler41 Aren't you a music fan?

Mithrandir

John Dvorak

I'm okay with horse

Tumbler41

Ah... I'm bad at lateral thinking.

GentlePurpleRain

HORSE

Zani Xu

yellow

ffao

22:03

I have never heard of a horse thief, so I'm leaving that to you

Erik the Outgolfer

!board

GentlePurpleRain

!board

ffao

oh, yellow is fine

Shiro

Erik the Outgolfer

you got ninja'd

GentlePurpleRain

22:04

@ffao Horse theft was a big deal back before the days of automobiles. (When I was a young lad... :P )

John Dvorak

are slugs thieves?

Mithrandir

(You're up, @Joey.)

GentlePurpleRain

@JohnDvorak I don't think I've ever heard that usage before...

I've heard about trying to "steal the moon", metaphorically.

John Dvorak

oh?

Joey Dionne

yeah, still thinking

GentlePurpleRain

22:06

Like an impossible task that someone sets out to do anyway? Not sure.

John Dvorak

moon next then, I guess

I've heard about shooting the moon

GentlePurpleRain

I don't know. It's a pretty weak connection.

Erik the Outgolfer

more like a pointless, time-wasting task, why should they steal the moon, there are loads of banks to rob

GentlePurpleRain

Maybe "shooting the moon" is what I'm thinking of.

John Dvorak

I do like your version though

Joey Dionne

22:07

Blue: Grapefruit (2)

Erik the Outgolfer

ORANGE?

ROUND?

yay I found them in an instant

GentlePurpleRain

Wouldn't SPHERE be a better clue for those?

Erik the Outgolfer

now let's see if @Mith agrees

Mithrandir

@GentlePurpleRain No; MOON is there.

ORANGE

GentlePurpleRain

Oh, wait. Spheres aren't round:

2 days ago, by John Dvorak

Blue: Sphere(4)

Joey Dionne

22:09

Orange is blue

3

Mithrandir

ROUND

Joey Dionne

Round is blue

Erik the Outgolfer

lol orange is blue

Mithrandir

!board

Shiro

Erik the Outgolfer

22:09

hm, we still have a guess

Mithrandir

Hmm.

Erik the Outgolfer

so...I tend to lean towards SLUG regarding the River (3) clue

Mithrandir

...meh

GentlePurpleRain

@Mithrandir Everyone knows the moon isn't a sphere. It's just a white circle in the sky... :P

Erik the Outgolfer

but MOON isn't entirely irrelevant either

Mithrandir

22:10

@GentlePurpleRain green cheese

GentlePurpleRain

Spherical green cheese?

Erik the Outgolfer

tasty mold

Mithrandir

@EriktheOutgolfer It's not MOON.

The "Grapefruit" clue made that obvious.

Erik the Outgolfer

hm, yeah

maybe GLASS then, but that's a bit too many leaps of logic

"clear as glass"

John Dvorak

or obsidian flows

with obsidian floes

better walk on your toes

and if convection's on - oh noes!

Mithrandir

22:13

I'm pretty sure there a River Glass somewhere, but I'm inclined to pass again. If it's a (1) clue, I'm tempted to go for GLASS. If it's not a (1) clue... it's probably not GLASS.

Erik the Outgolfer

that was a (3) clue

so, RULER seems irrelevant

I feel like it would fit better with a UK( Empire)-themed clue

Mithrandir

Can throw out PRINCESS, MOON, CALF, and PLASTIC/

Erik the Outgolfer

and PENGUIN

Mithrandir

That leaves ENGLAND, INDIA, GRASS, GLASS, ~~PENGUIN~~, SLUG, RULER.

Erik the Outgolfer

I just threw PENGUIN out...

Mithrandir

22:15

Penguins are aquatic, but we can probably rule that out as well.

Erik the Outgolfer

they swim at sea, not in rivers...

Mithrandir

I'm not seeing RULER for "river" either.

John Dvorak

those escaping from aquariums swim in rivers

Mithrandir

@JohnDvorak in Madagascar?

Erik the Outgolfer

heh

John Dvorak

22:17

exactly

GentlePurpleRain

Be careful ruling anything out. Remember Jack and Jill?

Mithrandir

(see: youtube.com/watch?v=vjMlCZf0MBc)

Erik the Outgolfer

no you'll not terrify us

Mithrandir

Let's just pass. Nothing seems worth guessing/

Erik the Outgolfer

yeah

I'm starting to hear snoring...

Mithrandir

22:18

[pass]

Erik the Outgolfer

[pass]

Shiro

Zani Xu

Red: MUSIC BOX (2)

John Dvorak

hm...

ffao

huh

John Dvorak

22:19

plastic comes to mind...

probably not glass then

Then we have a left-over thief that we also need

ffao

I'm fine with plastic, but I don't see anything else

GentlePurpleRain

princess, probably?

John Dvorak

also thought of it

GentlePurpleRain

Don't music boxes usually have a dancing princess?

John Dvorak

Those are ballerinas, but that's the same difference

ffao

22:22

Someone called me over, letting you at it for the final stretch

!leave

Shiro

RED: Zani Xu, GentlePurpleRain, John Dvorak

GentlePurpleRain

ok

John Dvorak

(agree with princess)

GentlePurpleRain

I'm good with PLASTIC and PRINCESS, in whatever order. Do the honours.

John Dvorak

PRINCESS

Joey Dionne

22:23

PRINCESS is red

John Dvorak

PLASTIC

Joey Dionne

PLASTIC is yellow

GentlePurpleRain

:(

Erik the Outgolfer

hah

John Dvorak

yay

GentlePurpleRain

22:23

!board

Shiro

Joey Dionne

Blue: Swamp (2)

GentlePurpleRain

Definitely PENGUIN.

Mithrandir

...

GRASS, SLUG?

Erik the Outgolfer

yeah, definitely GPRISMISLEADINGUS

definitely GRASS

Mithrandir

22:24

GRASS

Joey Dionne

GRASS is blue

Erik the Outgolfer

one more word...

yeah, SLUG looks like the best fit here, ugly and slimy as a Swamp

GentlePurpleRain

crickets chirp

Erik the Outgolfer

(@Mith, do the ceremony of victory)

GentlePurpleRain

A little premature, don't you think?

Looks like Mith is gone. It might have to be you...

Erik the Outgolfer

22:29

duh, alright :/

I believe you...just wait 5 more seconds

SLUG

Joey Dionne

SLUG is blue GG

GentlePurpleRain

Mith seems to have fairly frequent internet outages.

He's usually back within a few minutes.

Erik the Outgolfer

maybe power outages too

Joey Dionne

GRASS ROUND SOUL ORANGE EGYPT SLUG BED DUCK

Assassin RULER

shit, I got here late. let's try to find something

SOUL and EGYPT scream Osiris for me

and Mith got both fast. Now I have some time to think :)

GRASS ROUND ORANGE SLUG BED DUCK

Sphere 2 for ROUND and ORANGE seems good too
River for DUCK and BED and maybe SLUG? FP with MOON but I think they are too young to know Moon River
Vegetal for GRASS and ORANGE

let's try River.

they find BED and DUCK easily, now for the more distant slug ...

Tumbler41

Shiro

22:30

GentlePurpleRain

GLASS and PENGUIN?

Erik the Outgolfer

@Zani any logs?

Joey Dionne

yup

GentlePurpleRain

Where does the THIEF come in?

Zani Xu

no, I forgot :(

John Dvorak

22:31

...

Zani Xu

Theif was supposed to be code

Mithrandir

@GentlePurpleRain Indeed. The internet is awful here late at night.

GentlePurpleRain

So you double-clued code?

Zani Xu

yah

Erik the Outgolfer

don't worry, I pushed the button of victory

GentlePurpleRain

22:32

I can probably do one more game, or I'd be up for Contact, if anyone's in.

Joey Dionne

and Yeah Erik, I know Thames and the Gange, so I would had used them to clue England or India :P

Zani Xu

Anyone up for contact?

Mithrandir

sure

Erik the Outgolfer

yeah

Joey Dionne

why not

GentlePurpleRain

22:33

<whoo.....

Mithrandir

Contact

For playing the game Contact, where one person tries to "defend"...
