20:00

So we've had NIGHT, BELL, PASS, and BAND.

How would you rank those?

North

hmm

Erik the Outgolfer

we've almost rejected BELL

GentlePurpleRain

For me, BAND > PASS > NIGHT > BELL

North

I guess bell is bad

Erik the Outgolfer

PASS > BAND > NIGHT > BELL

wait ouch

North

20:00

@GentlePurpleRain I would agree with that

Erik the Outgolfer

BAND it is, then :P

North

BAND

Shiro

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

Erik the Outgolfer

OOOOOUCH

North

Wait wat!

Shiro

20:01

North

It was bell!

DJMcMayhem

Hey that was pretty easy. I didn't even need to make a guess

GentlePurpleRain

it was BELL and PASS, I guess...

John Dvorak

Whoa!

Mithrandir

*hides in shame*

John Dvorak

20:01

o/

Erik the Outgolfer

and... SOLDIER or NINJA?

Sherlock9

Right. I'm SMing again I had good clues lined up with cold and dark

GentlePurpleRain

I take it Mith missed the "band class" connection...

Sherlock9

O/

Erik the Outgolfer

o/

Mithrandir

20:02

@GentlePurpleRain never crossed my mind...

DJMcMayhem

I know I said I'd SM next, but I didn't actually get a guess in so

o/

Mithrandir

0/

Erik the Outgolfer

@Sherlock9 the board changes...

Sherlock9

I know

North

I'm leaving now lol

Mithrandir

20:02

93772989

SCHOOL, BELL, STREAM, GERMANY, PASS, POISON, MARBLE, SOLDIER, NINJA

SCHOOL + BELL + PASS = "class"? "learning"?

(gives "class" clue)

Please avoid BAND, GPR. Please and thank you.

SCHOOL down. They still have BAND on the burner, though, which worries me.

Oy. I shouldn't have mentioned cluing the assassin on the first turn earlier...

...

GentlePurpleRain

I can't actually stick around for long.

Sherlock9

93772989
okay so I need to guess the -- help them guess the things
SPACE, ICE, SNOW, NIGHT, VAN, DRESS, AIR, FENCE
okay cold would work for 3
dark for 3
they're about to guess BAND and lose. oh goodness

DJMcMayhem

@Sherlock9 Out of curiosity, what would you have clued? I'll let you know what I would have guessed

Erik the Outgolfer

shortest game ever lol

John Dvorak

I can't go to sleep even if I wanted to. Waiting for drugs to arrive.

Mithrandir

20:04

can we get a show of hands again?

0/

Sherlock9

@DJMcMayhem Would have started with cold then dark

O/

Erik the Outgolfer

o/, as I said

DJMcMayhem

o/

John Dvorak

r/

GentlePurpleRain

What happened to your head?

DJMcMayhem

20:04

@Sherlock9 Dark is space, night and... ?

Mithrandir

Erik the Outgolfer

Sherlock9

@DJMcMayhem Whoops mixed air in

Should be 4 and 2

John Dvorak

GentlePurpleRain

Erik the Outgolfer

John Dvorak

GentlePurpleRain

Shiro

DJMcMayhem

John you left us. I feel so betrayed

John Dvorak

20:07

Should I switch sides?

Mithrandir

no

Erik the Outgolfer

no no no

playing alone is... creepily silent

DJMcMayhem

I'll just have my wife on our team helping us too. So if I have a bad guess she can catch it :P

John Dvorak

OK, how about I send Erik to you?

Sherlock9

Did it say who's first?

Mithrandir

20:09

i am

John Dvorak

... or that. DJ + wife

Erik the Outgolfer

guys warning! it might be DJ's wife talking from his account! :P

DJMcMayhem

@Sherlock9 Blue's first since they have more clues to get through

Sherlock9

Ah ok

DJMcMayhem

3 mins ago, by Shiro

RED: Sherlock9, DJMcMayhem, DJMcMayhem's wife

Editing powers ftw

Erik the Outgolfer

20:11

yeah saw that :P

Mithrandir

Blue: ball (3)

warning: little to no log this round due to multitasking

John Dvorak

Round

Erik the Outgolfer

POINT? as in a ballpoint pen

John Dvorak

Ball pit?

Erik the Outgolfer

you know what, let's knock ROUND out first

John Dvorak

20:12

Ballpoint might also work

ROUND

Shiro

ROUND is Blue

Erik the Outgolfer

maybe BAT

John Dvorak

maybe even court / stadium

Erik the Outgolfer

as in baseball

John Dvorak

net by the same logic

Let's go for pit?

Erik the Outgolfer

20:13

the basket? hm... not enough for a (3)

John Dvorak

As in tennis

Erik the Outgolfer

I'm inclined towards POINT

John Dvorak

OK.

Erik the Outgolfer

PIT is a bit more generic

"ball" sounds a bit specific for it tbh

John Dvorak

Your call

Erik the Outgolfer

20:14

POINT

Shiro

POINT is Blue

Erik the Outgolfer

yeet

John Dvorak

I still like pit

because all sports terms are on equal footing, so I don't think it's any of them

Erik the Outgolfer

that me too

John Dvorak

There's also organ, but that might be too mature

Erik the Outgolfer

20:16

ew no yuck pukes

John Dvorak

Pit then?

Erik the Outgolfer

ahem PG ahem thir- ahem teeeeee...n

yeah, PIT

John Dvorak

maybe revolution

Erik the Outgolfer

oh hey

I thought that was a bit generic lol

John Dvorak

PIT

Shiro

20:18

PIT is Red
I hope you feel okay about that.
It is now Red's turn

Erik the Outgolfer

aw

Shiro

John Dvorak

oy

revolution is it then

Erik the Outgolfer

shouldn't've succumbed :/

DJMcMayhem

My internet is struggling, I might be a bit delayed

Erik the Outgolfer

20:18

wait why did DJ delete his "Ha!" lol

Sherlock9

No worries, still thinking

DJMcMayhem

@EriktheOutgolfer Because I typed it in response to a message like 5 minutes ago, and it only just now came through.

Erik the Outgolfer

...ah! :P

Sherlock9

Red: weights (2)

DJMcMayhem

There are a lot of sports words out here

John Dvorak

20:22

IKR

DJMcMayhem

(I want to say hi to everybody for fun, this is DJ's wife lol)

John Dvorak

o/

Erik the Outgolfer

o/ DJ's wife!

Mithrandir

*waves*

DJMcMayhem

LEAD

Shiro

20:23

LEAD is Red

DJMcMayhem

Hmmm

Erik the Outgolfer

this room looks de...aaaah ninja

DJMcMayhem

CALF

Shiro

CALF is Blue
What were you thinking?
It is now Blue's turn

John Dvorak

TY

DJMcMayhem

20:27

Shoot

Shiro

DJMcMayhem

@JohnDvorak Just returning the favor ;)

Erik the Outgolfer

lol DJ went all the way back to ancient times

DJMcMayhem

I was thinking of the muscle, not the animal

Erik the Outgolfer

there... are many more ways to exercise that one instead of weights and TRX...

John Dvorak

20:29

The best way to exercise your calves is to lift baby cows

DJMcMayhem

Probably ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mithrandir

Blue: Joust (3)

John Dvorak

Mail?

Erik the Outgolfer

@JohnDvorak just like Milo of Croton...

John Dvorak

Did knight tournaments happen in courts, or on stadiums? Both?

Erik the Outgolfer

20:31

pretty sure the Colosseum was a stadium...

John Dvorak

Indeed

Erik the Outgolfer

about knight races? well... they also happened in war... wait that sounded trollish

John Dvorak

yeah, no

Beat, as in in competition?

Barring any other connections, I suggest mail -> court -> stadium

Erik the Outgolfer

not sure how "joust" would apply to MAIL though

more like STADIUM > COURT

John Dvorak

as in armor

plate mail, chain mail

Erik the Outgolfer

20:35

yeah, no

John Dvorak

excuse me, what?

Mail is my top choice by far

Erik the Outgolfer

"mail" definitely doesn't mean armor in general, even though it's used as part of terms that mean armor

I'm in favor of STADIUM

John Dvorak

Mail third then?

Erik the Outgolfer

yeeeeah...

John Dvorak

Fine then

Erik the Outgolfer

20:38

so, I can feel a yawn or two

John Dvorak

I thought you were going to guess

Erik the Outgolfer

oh no, I'm thinking about STADIUM vs. COURT

John Dvorak

Court > stadium if you ask me

Erik the Outgolfer

hm... since it was your PIT suggestion that failed over mine previously...

John Dvorak

now it's your turn to fail miserably

Erik the Outgolfer

20:40

YOLO

STADIUM

Shiro

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

John Dvorak

mmyup

Erik the Outgolfer

oh, not miserably, just a fail! :P

DJMcMayhem

Woo!

Sherlock9

Red: overthrow (2)

DJMcMayhem

20:42

Alright, just thinking out loud here

Right off the bat, I think Revolution, War and Ruler are super obvious. Obviously one of those must be wrong

If there weren't several more obvious solutions, I'd probably pick robot too

REVOLUTION

Shiro

REVOLUTION is Red

John Dvorak

boo

DJMcMayhem

RULER

Shiro

RULER is Red

DJMcMayhem

Sweet

Erik the Outgolfer

20:44

yeah, exactly my thoughts right after the "overthrow" clue was posted...

John Dvorak

You can still guess war

DJMcMayhem

True

@Sherlock9 I know I've got a third guess, but I don't feel confident enough to guess on weights

How do I pass and not guess the word pass? **[PASS]**?

John Dvorak

yes

Erik the Outgolfer

yes, with brackets

DJMcMayhem

[PASS]

Shiro

20:47

John Dvorak

OK... court for jousting + ball, then mail for jousting

DJMcMayhem

Good clue

John Dvorak

then IDK

Mithrandir

Blue: ancient (unlimited)

John Dvorak

dinosaur

aztec

Aztec could also fit ball

Erik the Outgolfer

20:48

were the Aztecs really ancient? ...

John Dvorak

Atlantis

They feel ancient

DINOSAUR

Shiro

DINOSAUR is Blue

Erik the Outgolfer

and ATLANTIS

John Dvorak

ATLANTIS

Shiro

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

Erik the Outgolfer

20:48

wait what Atlantis was definitely ancient

John Dvorak

Well, that settles it

Sherlock9

I was hoping to have a couple minutes

Hang on

Erik the Outgolfer

nothing is settled until the end! :D

Mithrandir

whoops

Sherlock9

Red: clothing (2)

John Dvorak

20:49

Yeah, but the ball is out of our ... err...

Erik the Outgolfer

house? thankfully our windows are still intact...

DJMcMayhem

SUIT

Shiro

SUIT is Red

John Dvorak

court

DJMcMayhem

HOOD

Shiro

20:50

HOOD is Red

DJMcMayhem

[PASS]

Shiro

Mithrandir

Blue: James (unlimited)

Erik the Outgolfer

BOND

John Dvorak

BOND

Shiro

20:53

BOND is Blue

DJMcMayhem

@Mithrandir Hey that's my name

John Dvorak

COURT

Shiro

COURT is Blue

Erik the Outgolfer

so...

John Dvorak

Net, Mail?

Erik the Outgolfer

20:53

NET is a sports term

MAIL... might actually be

John Dvorak

MAIL

Shiro

MAIL is Blue

John Dvorak

good

DJMcMayhem

I was wondering how long it would take you to guess that one lol

John Dvorak

It was always in the queue

Aztec feels good

Mithrandir

20:54

!board

Erik the Outgolfer

detects trolling

Shiro

Erik the Outgolfer

AZTEC... yeah, we're going to start compromises

John Dvorak

AZTEC

Shiro

AZTEC is Blue

John Dvorak

20:55

How many Jousts have we got?

Court, Mail, ?

Maybe War or Beat?

Erik the Outgolfer

maybe BEAT

WAR... no, jousting is a sport

John Dvorak

In that case...

I don't feel good mr. Stark

BEAT

Shiro

BEAT is Red
That's too bad.
It is now Red's turn

Erik the Outgolfer

how many balls do we have?

aw, too late :(

Shiro

DJMcMayhem

20:57

Phew you had me scared there

Erik the Outgolfer

hopes the couple stumbles :P

Sherlock9

Red: fishing (1)

John Dvorak

We can hope for a poor clue

Erik the Outgolfer

oh hey very poor clue!

John Dvorak

Yeah, too ambiguous

DJMcMayhem

20:58

NET

Shiro

NET is Red

John Dvorak

drat

Erik the Outgolfer

:/ :/ :/ :/ :/

DJMcMayhem

@Sherlock9 high five

Sherlock9

o/\o

Mithrandir

20:59

!finalboard

Shiro

Mithrandir

sorry, no dump - attention kinda wasn't fully on the game

Erik the Outgolfer

no worries

Sherlock9

738429051
BEAT RULER LEAD PIT HOOD NET REVOLUTION SUIT
vipers - hood, pit, (suit? lol) (they got PIT so no)
weights (2) - lead, ruler (lol)
Got lead, but the clue was too jokey; gave CALF to blue, sorry DJ
overthrow (2) - ruler, revolution (here's hoping)
YAY
BEAT HOOD NET SUIT
clothing (2) - hood, suit
YES

Mithrandir

or, well, part of a dump:

738429051

BOND, MAIL, AZTEC, POINT, PASS, CALF, DINOSAUR, ROUND, COURT

"ball" - ROUND, COURT, PASS

They got ROUND and POINT.

Remaining words: BOND, MAIL, AZTEC, PASS, CALF, DINOSAUR, COURT

Heh, red is using that "rulers measure weights" thing :P DJ's wife probably doesn't know that tho

CALF + DINO = "animal" if nothing better comes up

Oh, great, DJ calfs CALF and messes up my plan :P

Remaining words: BOND, MAIL, AZTEC, PASS, DINOSAUR, COURT

"joust" - COURT, MAIL, PASS. risky, but we'll see

Sherlock9

21:01

I got the ruler-weights joke from the starboard

DJMcMayhem

I didn't see that until much later

Sherlock9

idk I thought DJ would see it :D

Erik the Outgolfer

doesn't that count as external research? ...

Mithrandir

nah

DJMcMayhem

Funny enough, I was thinking of really old scales, and measuring out weights as payment, so I was thinking court and ruler, but I wasn't very confident

Erik the Outgolfer

21:01

I mean, if you were looking through the starboard while SMing or guessing

Mithrandir

starboard seems legit enough as info source

John Dvorak

o/

DJMcMayhem

But even if I was confident enough on that train of thought, I would have guessed court before ruler

Erik the Outgolfer

o/

DJMcMayhem

o_, I need to go make breakfast

Mithrandir

21:02

0/

Sherlock9

It was a silly clue anyway. And thanks muchly for a good game

Erik the Outgolfer

ouch, I tripped over DJ's hand!

Sherlock9

(And for guessing BEAT, no idea how I was going to tie that to NET)

Okay bed

Goodnight!

John Dvorak

My drugs should arrive in 30 minutes IIRC

Sherlock9

o_

Mithrandir

21:03

\o

DJMcMayhem

(It's 2 in the afternoon here, and I haven't eaten yet so "breakfast")

@EriktheOutgolfer You think that hurt you? You stepped on my pinky!

:P

Erik the Outgolfer

hope I didn't [yucky stuff redacted]...

Mithrandir

Erik the Outgolfer

nope, I know his situation very well :P

14:00 is a somewhat common time for breakfast ;)

Mithrandir

...I couldn't eat breakfast until after they took blood this morning

John Dvorak

21:05

You mean brunch

DJMcMayhem

Brunch is like... 10-1 hours, I think. 2 feels a bit late to call it brunch

Erik the Outgolfer

but... aren't blood exams usually done very, very early in the morning? (like 07:00)

Mithrandir

9:40
