Gimme ~20m
Zendo is on now
20:03

Did the !ping above actually do anything?
20:04
I assume Quintec will join when their computer reboots?
unless Shiro has powers I don't know of
Shiro directly texts everyone on the pinglist. :P
I didn't get a DM
Maybe Shiro has the wrong mobile number for you? :P

I shouldn't have done it that way...

Shall I restart?

too late...
Hi ManyPinkHats, you'll be joining team blue!
BLUE: Mithrandir, dooog, ManyPinkHats
20:09
I'm in
Hi Sconibulus, you'll be joining team red!
RED: GentlePurpleRain, John Dvorak, Sconibulus
@Quintec just !join

20:09
Hi Eric Tressler, you'll be joining team blue!
Where is everyone coming from?
BLUE: Mithrandir, dooog, ManyPinkHats, Eric Tressler
(side note: anyone know how to get ChatExchange to use Python 3 rather than Python 2?)
Nice, we have people now!
Enough for Spyfall! :P
!who
20:10
We are currently waiting for a clue from the Blue spymaster.
@GentlePurpleRain did you code Lens in python 3 or 2?
@Quintec 2.7. It's cribbed off of Shiro, and that's what Shiro used.
So, please remind me: we're not supposed to say a word by itself on a line during discussion, because that constitutes a guess, right? Or is it something more formal to guess
Bold makes it a guess.
Ah, I'm starting from scratch - figured it out, just have to run python3 rather than python commands
20:11
Guesses have to be BOLD
Shiro requires bold + on a line by itself
Quintec, what are you writing a bot for?
!join
Hi Deusovi, you'll be joining team red!
RED: GentlePurpleRain, John Dvorak, Sconibulus, Quintec, Deusovi
oh man
20:13
Back when guesses were the SM responsibility, all-caps on a line by itself also had the tendency to confuse askers into revealing colors.
@GentlePurpleRain Zendo
I don't think I've ever seen a game of Codenames with this many players!
most days we have something like 2v2 or 2v3 :P
I like it
20:14
@Mithrandir I would say no. It's not a common phrase on its own.
Hmm. But it is, in a way, the name of a thing - the iffy part is what specifies exactly what thing.
If you want to, go ahead. I won't get nitpicky.
We can ask for a postmortem vote afterward.
It's the SM's call as far as the game is concerned. Might affect future games though.
Time to break the bot...
Blue: Frankenstein (1931) (3)
20:17
Blue currently has 4 guesses remaining.
Blue currently has 4 guesses remaining.
Didn't break the bot.
20:17
I'm guessing bolt / scientist / ?
hm, I'm not sure if I'd accept that
but I can see an argument either way
possibly torch because of the mob?
hollywood/theater?
That would make sense. but why 1931? I'm not specifically familiar with that
but if I had to cut one of mine, then bolt
I think that was the one that took place in Canada instead of Germany
20:18
the really old frankenstein movie
that's definitely from the pop culture version, but probably not in a film
I don't remember what year exactly the movie is from.. but 1931 seems about right since it was black and white
@dooog Yeah, I got that. So he's trying to get us not to say bolt, but instead hollywood
Canada has no monsters. The worst they could come up with was a singing child. Baby.
The only thing I know is that I'm pretty sure that was the one with Boris Karloff
20:18
So my votes now are for torch / scientist / hollywood
@JohnDvorak Wendigo, Sasquatch, Ogopogo...
I would say bolt over torch
I'd put torch as the lowest priority on that list
since the lightning bolt is so iconic
Yeah, true
20:19
@GentlePurpleRain will look up after the game
I was thinking of the metal bolts coming out of the monster's neck
not the lightning bolt
ah
If you mean the bolts in his head, those were actually screws
my vote is for scientist hollywood bolt
20:20
I'm happy with that order
I can live with that. let's go
scientist
SCIENTIST is Red
Seriously?
It is now Red's turn
Woah...
20:21
hmm
oh man, shiro's getting sassy
Sasquatch isn't an original, though. It's just a reskinned Yeti.
this is great
I'm glad you like it
20:22
@Deusovi I see you haven't been around too often. ;p condolences = ["Oh, dear.\n", "That's too bad.\n", "I feel for you.\n", "What were you thinking?\n", "Uh... what?\n", "Maybe you'll do better next time.\n", "Seriously?\n", "I hope you feel okay about that.\n", "When will you learn?\n"]
That's a spoiler
I've been around. It's just been a while since I played Codenames here.
Red: Country (2)
Yep, that one's pretty clear
does anyone have any objections to FRANCE/CANADA?
if so, you're wrong
FRANCE
20:23
FRANCE is Red
CANADA
france, canada, or i'll eat my (manypink) hats
CANADA is Red
what about the CHECK republic?
[pass]
20:24
QUEBEC
@ManyPinkHats that would be wordplay
other team
@ManyPinkHats funnily enough, CZECH is actually a possible word
Blue: Sprinter (0)
20:26
if mith wasn't going for things in the story, do you think it would have been hollywood / theater / play?
ok, so bolt first?
So, not CHEETAH.
Oh that's great
but why Frankenstein then?
20:26
and then we discuss?
Yeah, @ManyPinkHats I agree, let's do bolt + hollywood
then discuss the third?
@EricTressler Great plan, go for it
BOLT is Black (assassin!).
Game over. Red wins!
wait
LOL
he actually did it
20:26
!?
that was a 0 clue
WAIT ONE SECOND
i thought you were joking
20:27
it said zero
zero means "no not this"
...I don't believe that just happened
not if it is Metal (0)
What were you going for Mith, Torch and Pitchfork?
I haven't played this in a long time, I thought it just meant no specified number of correlated clues
@Sconibulus + HOLLYWOOD
@EricTressler That's (unlimited)
20:27
My words: THEATER, FRANCE, SCUBA DIVER, CHECK, NOTE, ALIEN, CANADA, SCIENTIST

Initial thoughts:
Country = CANADA, FRANCE
Location = CANADA, FRANCE, THEATER, but FP HOLLYWOOD
Character = SCIENTIST, SCUBA DIVER, ALIEN, THEATER? but FP WITCH

------------------------------

Mithrandir gives the questionable "Frankenstein (1931)", presumable for HOLLYWOOD, PLAY, TORCH?

He must be sweating, what with all the BOLT talk.

...and they missed choosing BOLT, but gave us one. Not all bad.

--------------------
well yeah, Hollywood seemed given with a movie
@EricTressler "unlimited" and "zero" are both usable
397137392
STOCK, HOLLYWOOD, LEPRECHAUN, TORCH, FORK, PRESS, HOLE, BEAT, PLAY.

TORCH and FORK recall that famous thing with the villagers chasing the monster with pitchFORKs and TORCHes.

BEAT and PLAY can both be clued with a music-related clue, or something related to a game.

“Frankenstein” - FORK, TORCH, HOLLYWOOD. Might run into SCIENTIST, especially those who know that that’s the name of the scientist. Oh, italics might fix that. Italics (4), and we get PLAY as well. Can I clue the year of the movie? What was it, 1931? Asking GPR. GPR doesn’t like it, but is willing to budge. Go conse
Again? Or Spyfall?
Either
20:29
I'm good either way.
o/
I'll play this; not interested in spyfall
I'll play codenames but if yall wanna play spyfall instead dont worry about me
I vote Codenames over Spyfall
20:30
o/
Sounds like Codenames it is!
same teams, i guess
20:30
hopefully i can do this round better :p
Shiro decides the teams.
@Quintec can let Deus in
we got a few 0's though, how do you choose who SMs
I take the first in the list...
Mith gave an O/, so Mith and John?
Or does someone want to volunteer?
Or unvolunteer?
GPR if you still want to SM feel free, because that was quite a short game
20:32
Nah, I'm good.
I was a 0/ anyway.
I can do it

RED: John Dvorak, Sconibulus, Deusovi, GentlePurpleRain, Eric Tressler
interesting, where's the welcome for the rest of them
they are not welcome
20:34
Shiro doesn't like them.
Especially ffao, I suppose
Yes. Who appreciates the person who gave them life? :P
brb
back
Looks like I missed a lot while I was gone...
We are currently waiting for a clue from the Red spymaster.
20:38
Thinking
Red: Peter Parker(3)
so comic, spider, fighter?
spider, screen?, fighter?
Spider for sure
ah, and comic
i agree with eric's guesses
20:41
SPIDER
SPIDER is Red
COMIC
Comic is good
COMIC is Red
i'm not sure about screen vs fighter
20:41
it could be screen, yeah
it would be more in line with "comic". I'm still slightly more inclined toward fighter, though
I think FIGHTER is more obvious than SCREEN.
alright then
he said peter parker instead of spiderman, which makes me think fighter more than screen
cuz spiderman would imply the movie itself more
he can't say spiderman
He can't say SPIDERMAN.
20:42
oh right neve rmind
So FIGHTER?
oh shit i am blue
Sure.
that gets my vote
20:42
Go for it.
FIGHTER is Blue
When will you learn?
It is now Blue's turn
Blue: Color (4)
so turns out i am blue team
nice job, blue team mate
olive, copper, chocolate, gold all seem like conceivable colors
20:45
also possibly kiwi?
hmm are kiwis brown or green though
olive, copper and gold sound like good bets to me
green I would have thought, but fair enough
definitely prefer gold and olive the most
gold
GOLD is Blue
2
20:45
olive
OLIVE is Blue
2
and today we learned that Shiro is colorblind
It appears that all colours are BLUE (at least according to the star board)...
Just today?
Note to self: When red, never guess a colour.
20:47
I think copper and chocolate are the next best
Maple could be a color
Copper first though
I'm good with copper
yeah, just thought that chocolate is more associated with a single color where maple and kiwi might be multiple
copper
COPPER is Blue
I kinda like chocolate now, all other choices considered, but I could conceivably see it being one of the others
20:49
I'm fine with chocolate
chocolate
CHOCOLATE is Blue
[pass]
20:50
welp
Red: Wound(4)
cast, bow, hospital...
so... cast, hospital, disease, missile???
20:51
why bow?
Cast, Hospital, Bow?
yeah, why bow?
it could cause a wound
missile could too, then by that logic we have 5 clear things
also, I'm wondering if we're also to interpret the clue as the past tense of "wind"
20:52
I think definitely CAST and HOSPITAL.
yeah
HOSPITAL
HOSPITAL is Red
me too, let's do those first
CAST
hm, if this was in person you'd know the pronunciation
20:52
CAST
CAST is Red
CAST is Red
@dooog yes, but not the spelling
uh-oh, you've just killed one of your guesses
well... could be bow and missile
20:53
Red currently has 2 guesses remaining.
FR: fix that already
since a disease might not count as a wound
(we can get around it if we need to, but be aware)
20:54
I think maybe bow / missile / screen would be the best next guesses?
screen???
Yes, that sounds good to me.
Shiro should reject guesses for words that aren't white
oh for the earlier clue
20:54
of course... compound fracture
or rock
oh no :(
let's try missile first, then bow?
^^^ No, too abstract.
MISSILE and BOW sounds good.
MISSILE is Red
I don't think missiles cause "wounds". I wouldn't say that the word "wound" is severe enough
oh huh
20:55
BOW is Red
You are out of guesses. It is now Blue's turn
now screen?
shush shiro
yeah, screen
20:55
dummy clue john?
We need to forward Shiro back to red turn.
Won't work.
we need to pass the turn back over to you guys
Blue: Dummy (0)
[pass]
20:56
Red: Dummmy(0)
SCREEN is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn
three m's.. what could it mean??
20:56
!imagehost imgur
huh alright
We are currently waiting for a clue from the Blue spymaster.
!board
20:57
Is peter parker an agent of Shield?
I was wondering about AGENT for "Peter Parker". Isn't he an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
I don't think Shield is associated with the Avengers anymore?
I'm not familiar with superhero-related things at all.
But this might have been in the past...
although I think he's working independently for Tony anyway
20:57
Blue: Flint (2)
rock, match?
They have LEAD in their WASHER TUBEs
match and rock?
Or maybe MISSILE was Peter Parker, because of his webslingers?
or disease, because of Venom?
probably not.
20:59
@ffao @Quintec
rock, match sounds right
although is flint a compound?
