MOUTH is Black (assassin!).
Game over. Red wins!

John Dvorak

I hate this board.

dooog

oh wow, I would've guessed mouth for horse

"straight from the horse's mouth"

Mithrandir

22:01

Red: **PRISM... oh, wait

John Dvorak

GG

Playing Canadian Dollar (3) and hoping I won't get complaints. Not a great clue, but it's still a three. Maple / state / note intended.
Maple, note seen. No other candidates yet.
Couldn't have used Alberta, because then I'd have lost the connection to Note. Unfortunately I don't know any province that really likes apples.

As for the future... Horse gives Centaur and Shoe for sure. Should also give Apple as their favorite food. _Buuut_, might attract Mouth.

Maple, Note Guessed. Now they're thinking about Face. Uh oh. Donating Face to red. Not a great start, and I don't like any of the matc…

@Mithrandir I knew you'd clue that...

Mithrandir

POISON, MISSILE, KID, BALL, VET, LIGHT, FACE, TRIANGLE.

Heh, Blue has GRACE NOTE.

“deadly” - POISON, MISSILE.

“puppy” - KID, VET, BALL

“shape” - FACE, TRIANGLE

Looks like Blue will be donating FACE to me…

Yep.

Remaining words: POISON, MISSILE, KID, BALL, VET, LIGHT, TRIANGLE.

(gives “puppy” clue)

Good dooog...

VET down.

Good, dooog, you picked up on “puppy” vs “dog”. KID down. BALL down. \o/

Remaining words: POISON, MISSILE, LIGHT, TRIANGLE.

(gives “deadly” clue)

Mics MIA. MISSILE down. POISON down. A pass.

Shiro

Hi ffao, you'll be joining team red!

RED: Mithrandir, Quintec, ffao

ffao

meh, I get called for random meetings too often

I was kinda considering state for dollar, but face felt better since canada is a country

micsthepick

I should be able to play this game through, as long as it does not last for more than 40 min

John Dvorak

Blue: Quadrilateral(3)

micsthepick

board

square

dooog

22:15

diamond

micsthepick

oh, I see

those three seem good

ffao

horses like apples? I never knew

micsthepick

square first

dooog

yeah I like square, diamond, board in that order

micsthepick

SQUARE

Shiro

22:16

SQUARE is Blue

dooog

sQuArE

micsthepick

the bumps of the car made me release the shift key

dooog

dIaMoNd

Shiro

DIAMOND is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn

micsthepick

:/

dooog

22:17

ouch

Mithrandir

Red: Fairy (3)

dooog

hmm.. thought diamond was for sure.. unless I've forgotten what the definition of a quadrilateral or diamond is

micsthepick

is this not a quadrilateral: ◆

I guess SM was willing to risk a yellow

ffao

tooth looks good

dooog

maybe figure for the 3rd one then?

Mithrandir

22:18

@dooog hi, i'm a quadrilateral

dooog

that doesn't seem quite right but I don't know enough about quadrilaterals to dispute it

micsthepick

it should be a 4 sided figure

Mithrandir

</diamond joke>

micsthepick

diamond-joke

ffao

@Quintec

dooog

22:21

they did say it would be a shaky o/, maybe theyre gone

ffao

tooth

Shiro

TOOTH is Red

ffao

spell

Shiro

SPELL is Red

ffao

now we get into shaky territory

I could see a fairy wearing gloves, or in a hollywood movie, or something like a spring fairy

not really a superhero but who knows

micsthepick

22:23

hmm...

@dooog do you see what I see?

ffao

I really don't have confidence in any of those

[pass]

John Dvorak

Blue: Name(3)

ffao

!leave Quintec

Shiro

22:24

RED: Mithrandir, ffao

micsthepick

@dooog nope, that was not what I was thinking

ffao

(joinred if you get back, Quintec)

micsthepick

jack

dooog

ah well

micsthepick

bear (grylls)?

dooog

22:25

seems possible

micsthepick

JACK

Shiro

JACK is Blue

dooog

cotton could also be a name

from dodgeball the movie

micsthepick

no

I have reason to think that is not it

dooog

maybe jupiter?

and hollywood?

micsthepick

22:27

hollywood perhaps

we could go for a quadrilateral

if it seems more likely

dooog

yeah we can do that

micsthepick

I was thinking figure or board

dooog

board?

alright

micsthepick

let's go with that

dooog

BOARD

Shiro

22:28

BOARD is Blue

micsthepick

nice

hollywood?

dooog

sure

HOLLYWOOD

Shiro

HOLLYWOOD is Blue

micsthepick

!who

Shiro

Blue currently has 1 guesses remaining.

dooog

22:29

I like either jupiter or figure here

jupiter a bit more

micsthepick

yeah

dooog

jupiter

Shiro

JUPITER is Blue
You are out of guesses. It is now Red's turn

dooog

woo

Shiro

micsthepick

22:29

good round

Mithrandir

Red: Boat (3)

ffao

... you sure that's not a (1)? :P

row

Shiro

ROW is Red

ffao

bow

Shiro

BOW is Red

micsthepick

22:35

row row row your bow...

ffao

might as well go for it, we're behind

tail

Shiro

TAIL is Red

ffao

bah, sorry for being clueless about the third fairy

[pass]

Shiro

John Dvorak

Blue: Mattress(2)

... I meant unlimited

micsthepick

22:38

:/

dooog

!who

John Dvorak

Can I still edit?

Mithrandir

don't think so

ffao

probably not

dooog

ah well

John Dvorak

22:39

Would you allow it @Mithrandir?

Shiro's secondary.

Mithrandir

I don't think so; giving a number instead of a (unlimited) reveals the number of clues that the clue was intended to hit.

micsthepick

I think that that number is just random

Mithrandir

So once that information is out there, changing it to (unlimited) is a bit unfair.

John Dvorak

The only other reasonable option is (1) though.

dooog

well mith doesn't like it so it's fine, mistakes were made so we should just keep playing

I like spring and back for mattress

micsthepick

22:42

cotton??, back?, spring, and figure from before

dooog

I like going with spring back figure

micsthepick

in that order?

dooog

yeah

micsthepick

okay

dooog

spring

Shiro

22:43

SPRING is Blue

dooog

back

Shiro

BACK is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn

dooog

hmm.. cotton does seem like the next best one

micsthepick

I am more inclined to guess figure first

dooog

I would've been ok with that, should've said something :P

micsthepick

22:45

but who knows, there are two ways in which we don't get to guess again

thing is, I was okay with your suggestion

dooog

yah

Mithrandir

(still thinking)

Red: Metal (0)

dooog

interesting

Mithrandir

@ffao

@Quin

*yawns* I'm about to fall asleep...

micsthepick

yawns

ffao

22:55

your fault for giving a 0 clue :P

micsthepick

LUL

I almost want to help, because it would give me information

ffao

well let's try

bear

Shiro

BEAR is Blue
I hope you feel okay about that.
It is now Blue's turn

micsthepick

... thanks

Mithrandir

...

ffao

22:56

LOL

dooog

so anti-climactic

ffao

that's almost better than me getting it right

John Dvorak

Blue: Micsthepick(2)

dooog

yeah the long pause into first guess blue.. very comedic

micsthepick

umm

Mithrandir

22:58

(that's valid)

dooog

not entirely sure what's intended though

the plan was figure, cotton right?

does this clue change anything?

micsthepick

FIGURE

Shiro

FIGURE is Blue

micsthepick

what is the clue supposed to mean?

it needs to be semantic right

dooog

i dunno, maybe it's just a throwaway

micsthepick

22:59

that's why I guessed figure

dooog

I'm just a little worried about cotton.. it seems like a good guess for metal(0)

micsthepick

exactly

dooog

see any other words for mattress?

micsthepick

maybe the pick part is cluing something?

dooog

how so?

micsthepick

23:02

perhaps the word is copper?

but that could also be the assassin

dooog

yeah considered that, but I feel like there should be better clues if you want to do spring+copper

micsthepick

!board

Shiro

dooog

man I am super stuck lol

is there anything about you specifically that you think could apply tothis board

are you a vet

micsthepick

it could not be superhero?

can you imagine one with a name like that?

dooog

23:05

I think we've gotten all the name words though

micsthepick

shrug

why would that be a name?

dooog

I thought you were suggesting it was for the name clue

micsthepick

no, for this clue

a superhero named micsthepick

dooog

then why not do a clue like batman(1) or something?

micsthepick

would you get figure from that?

dooog

23:08

well he knew we wanted to guess figure already

I'm starting to think it was just a throwaway clue and we should guess cotton

micsthepick

SUPERHERO

dooog

cuz maybe mith thought that ffao would know that cotton is our word so it's automatically ruled out from metal(0)

Shiro

SUPERHERO is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn

ffao

nice, now I get to embarrass myself again

dooog

our fate is in the codenames gods hands now

micsthepick

23:10

inb4 cotton is assasin

ffao

cotton is so non-metallic that I will find it funny if it's blue

I really don't get that last clue... unless mith knows metal bears

Mithrandir

Red: Britain's Got Talent (unlimited)

ffao

what

ok, I have to do this, don't hate me if it's yellow

crown

Shiro

CROWN is Red

ffao

but crowns are metallic

opera

Shiro

23:18

OPERA is Red

Quintec

hm

ffao

this is totally a non-tense moment

!board

Shiro

Quintec

not tense at all

micsthepick

what...

crown is red

Quintec

23:19

briefly skimmed, i guess we should guess copper right ;p

ffao

obviously

Quintec

so we're missing a fairy?

ffao

I don't get why this last clue was (unlimited)

(2) or (3) would give me more information without restricting my guesses

I'll put that to sleepiness

Quintec

it's possible it was a (1) clue

ffao

a 1 clue would be more direct

Mithrandir

23:22

All Red clues, just to collect in one place:
"fairy" (3)
"boat" (3)
"metal" (0)
"Britain's Got Talent" (unlimited)

dooog

but then you couldn't guess 3 words

John Dvorak

I don't think SMs should remind their teams of their clues...

ffao

I don't think so either but it's not like we didn't know

micsthepick

not of specific ones

Quintec

it's not copper nor cotton. (i'm assuming micsthepick(2) referred to cotton)

ffao

23:24

yeah, I'm really scared of cotton right now

Quintec

of the remaining few, eye and glove seem fairy-like? or maybe vet as in helpful-cheery-wonderland-vibe-thing?

micsthepick

I am going to have nightmares about cotton

dooog

I won't be able to sleep on my mattress any more

Mithrandir

All Blue clues:
"quadrilateral" (3)
"name" (3)
"mattress" (2)
"micsthepick" (2)

ffao

I could even see pie for fairy

Quintec

23:26

i... can't

micsthepick

*"micsthepick"

Quintec

my final guess is eye for no reason whatsoever

let's flip 4 coins

3* coins

2* coins

3* coins

encoding a binary number that is our answer, indexed alphabetically

red=0,blue=1

!flipcoin

Shiro

Blue

dooog

i flipped the coins for you

they said you should guess copper

Quintec

really now, what a coincidence

!flipcoin

Shiro

23:28

Red

dooog

yeah crazy right

Quintec

hm

micsthepick

it must be a sign

Quintec

!flipcoin

Shiro

Red

Quintec

23:29

100=4,which gives...glove? lol

ffao

glove

Shiro

GLOVE is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn

dooog

wooooo

ffao

we trusted you shiro

well now blue wins

Quintec

i'm pretty sure the last blue word was copper right

John Dvorak

23:31

Blue: Metal(0)

dooog

COTTON!!!

micsthepick

COTTON

Quintec

no, copper

Shiro

COTTON is Blue

micsthepick

oh my gosh

how does my name relate to cotton

ffao

23:31

because you only suggested cotton and figure

Mithrandir

@JohnDvorak Now that was risky.

ffao

was pretty simple tbh

Quintec

^ i scrolled up in chat and searched only your messages

John Dvorak

Was it?

micsthepick

I would argue that that is not a legal clue?

Quintec

23:32

!finalboard

micsthepick

does my name really have anything to do with cotton

Shiro

John Dvorak

Um.. pointing at a guesser is an established way to have their suggestions guessed...

Mithrandir

@Quintec there's rather a lot of precedent

ffao

horseshoe ok we would NEVER get that

I'm glad we just flipped coins

Quintec

23:33

well, actually, we would've gotten it if the third coin was blue ;)

Mithrandir

849498913
OPERA, TRAIL, CROWN, ROW, HORSESHOE, BOW, TOOTH, SPELL.

OPERA, BOW, CROWN - “Britain’s Got Talent”? ;)

TOOTH, SPELL, CROWN - “fairy”

TRAIL, HORSESHOE - “jockey”?

(gives “fairy” clue)

thecoder is MIA. TOOTH down. SPELL down. ffao passes.

Remaining words: OPERA, TRAIL, CROWN, ROW, HORSESHOE, BOW.

Oh, D’Arvit, that’s TAIL, not TRAIL. “equine” solves that much more nicely, then.

BOAT, TAIL, ROW - “boat”. Let’s try.

(gives “boat” clue)

ROW down. ffao apparently only sees (1)…. BOW down. TAIL down. \o/

John Dvorak

All four rolls lead to yellow

dooog

well that was an exciting game

John Dvorak

Oh, there's another game. Lessee...
Blue words: Jack, Board, Jupiter, Figure, Square, Spring, Cotton, Bear, Hollywood.
Black: Copper.
And I start...

Shape gives us a two... #3 would be horseshoe, so not three.
Quadrilateral adds board, removes horseshoe. Going for it.
Oh, maybe Jack in the box would've also fit.
(FTR - Board, Square, Figure intended)
Diamond's on the board? Aw shucks. Yellow. My mistake.

Red plays Fairy(3).

I don't like the rest of my words...

Remaining: Jack, Board(clued), Jupiter, Figure(clued), Spring, Cotton, Bear, Hollywood.

ffao

if it's a 0 clue, it means none of the words are related

not all of them are

Mithrandir

23:34

no, it means don't guess the obvious thing

ffao

that might even have been illegal

John Dvorak

"John must be really frustrated about now" - yes

0 does mean "none of the things that match"

Quintec

"Sweet. Red knows for sure that cotton is blue, and blue knows for sure that cotton is red. " most beautiful moment in the game

John Dvorak

The only way to get horseshoe and crown from that is to argue that they are metallic objects rather than metals - which should have been clear from the point they got crown.

dooog

i like that half your log had to do with the last word for each team

Mithrandir

23:36

yeah, clues like that have definitely been put to good use in the past. didn't work this time, though...

anyway. good night; it is now closer to 3AM than I'd've liked

John Dvorak

The trick to use a 0 clue: make sure that the words you want guessed don't match.

dooog

but good to know, tbh I didn't know that cluing a user means that their guesses are correct

Quintec

it's been done with plenty of people in the past

John Dvorak

Yup, tiredness is the chief cause :P

ffao

I'm always harsh to my SMs

Quintec

23:37

anyway, now I am O/

ffao

it's not personal, I just get too into it :P

John Dvorak

I assume that "WAT JOHN WAT WAT WAT" was referring to my Metal(0) clue ... which my team had already associated with cotton? :P

Mithrandir

ya

Quintec

i wasn't here long enough to realize how on earth Metal=cotton

John Dvorak

Cotton very specifically isn't metal :P

I can still play, hopefully with less drama :P

Quintec

23:47

downgrade to o/

dooog

done for today, ggs all

Quintec

we finish as the weekly game is about to start ;p

John Dvorak

ping me if there's a game, twice if I'm required.

Quintec

same here.
