19:00

which of the two are you more confident in?

Business Cat

staff and police

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

ok, which should we play first then?

Business Cat

seems like we both like staff, so probably that one

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

STAFF

Shiro

STAFF is Blue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:01

now police or revolution

every country's major question

Business Cat

which do you feel more confident in

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I don't know

you?

they both seem equally weapon-y

Business Cat

I think revolution implies violence a little more than police honestly

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

you're not American, are you?

that was a joke

but in all seriousness, I agree with you

Business Cat

I mean I'm not :)

PiIsNot3

19:02

This is America...

user58

'Murica

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I am, which is why I said that

Business Cat

ok let's go with revolution then?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

ok

REVOLUTION

Business Cat

I also did say a "little" more

Shiro

19:03

REVOLUTION is Blue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

wanna pass or try police?

Business Cat

at this point passing is safest

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

also, how do you pass without having it think we mean the word pass

which is on the board

Business Cat

[PASS]

with the brackets

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

it's the brackets

thought so

user58

19:04

!who

Shiro

Blue currently has 1 guesses remaining.

Business Cat

shiro...?

PiIsNot3

Try lowercase

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

it didn't work

[pass]

Shiro

Business Cat

19:04

I always did it with caps I thought

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

i guess not when pass is a word on the board

user58

Red: Footrace (3)

PiIsNot3

BOLT and GROUND are immediate connections

BOLT because bolting is running, which you do in a footrace

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

i'll be right back

gonna refill my water bottle quickly

PiIsNot3

GROUND because foot racing happens on the ground

You can BEAT others in a race in general

FAIR seems a tenuous connection, do fairs host footraces? I know they have horse racing and other animal races

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:08

back

PiIsNot3

And I still need to determine the remaining word from the “Boarding” clue

which could very well be BOLT, but is probably more likely PAPER

Current order is GROUND > BOLT > BEAT > PAPER

I don’t see any other connections, beyond very very tenuous ones

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I mean I see one of those, but I"m not on your team

PiIsNot3

Playing GROUND, BOLT, BEAT

GROUND

Shiro

GROUND is Red

PiIsNot3

BOLT

Shiro

19:12

BOLT is Red

PiIsNot3

BEAT

Shiro

BEAT is Red

PiIsNot3

And should I go for PAPER to cover “Boarding”?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

don't want to get buttbuttinated

I told you, I watched that game on the 30th at work

I saw the insanity that was everyone censoring themselves

it was funny

or maybe that was yesterday

PiIsNot3

If BOLT was supposed to be “Boarding,” then it could’ve also hit LOCK

And again there’s a tense mismatch, so...

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:16

I thought you were trying to frustrate the spymaster, not your opponents

PiIsNot3

I’m gonna go for PAPER, and then most likely regret my decision afterward

Playing PAPER

PAPER

Shiro

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

PiIsNot3

Pheww

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

is it toilet paper?

John Dvorak

Blue: Spin(3)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:17

roulette jumps out immediately

Business Cat

yeah

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

saturn because it's aa planet maybe?

planets rotate, which is spinning?

kind of a stretch, but nothing else

Business Cat

I could see it

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

maybe fair, siince there could be spinning games or something?

Business Cat

the other things I can see are center and nut

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:19

but I am almost certain of roulette

Business Cat

since you spin a nut to fasten it?

that's also really loose

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

oh that kind of nut

Business Cat

roulette for sure

PiIsNot3

@BusinessCat Heh nice one :)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

so should we play roulette?

Business Cat

19:19

ROULETTE

PiIsNot3

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I’m under legal gambling age, so no

Business Cat

shiro..?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

let me try

ROULETTE

Shiro

ROULETTE is Blue

Business Cat

maybe she doesn't think I'm on blue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:20

maybe

Business Cat

because I joined it before leaving red

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

so i'll do the guessing then

John Dvorak

Doesn't Shiro support teamfluid guessers?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I'll tell you what my dog doesn't support

Business Cat

!joinblue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:21

peace and quiet

Shiro

BLUE: John Dvorak, ThePuzzlingPlatypus, Business Cat

Business Cat

ok maybe it'll work properly now

PiIsNot3

@JohnDvorak If that’s the cause what would stop a rogue player form sabotaging one team or another?

John Dvorak

true

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

besides common decency? Oh wait this is the internet

Business Cat

19:22

anyway out of our remain options, I feel best about CENTER

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

ok let's do that

I have no ideas

John Dvorak

though the audience still has full power to sabotage the game

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

hey @DJMcMayhem you can join red team and help out pi

Business Cat

CENTER

Shiro

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

Business Cat

19:23

damn

Shiro

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

or not because we're tied

DJMcMayhem

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I'd love to but probably can't right now

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

oh ok

Business Cat

if we can survive this next turn, I think we have a pretty decent chance

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:23

what else spins on this list

and what was the number anyway

Business Cat

he clued 3, and we had 4 left

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

3 was the number i was looking for

so we need 2 more spinny things

too bad there's no hedgehog on here

user58

(Thinking....)

Red: Moon (2)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

i know what i'd pick for this

but wrong team

PiIsNot3

SATURN has a lot of moons

RABBITs I believe are associated with the moon in Chinese or Japanese mythology

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:30

crap he got what I was thinking

PiIsNot3

And then by further association this could get BEIJING

But the clue is only 2, so I’d be guessing after that

Mooning means to show your rear end at someone, which could attract the ire of POLICE, but that’s a stretch

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

you need some ice for your muscles after that stretch?

although to be fair, I also thought of the meaning with butts

PiIsNot3

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Nah, I’m only warming up here :)

Im most confident about SATURN and RABBIT, in that order

Ok let’s do this

Playing SATURN then RABBIT

SATURN

Shiro

SATURN is Red

PiIsNot3

RABBIT

Shiro

19:34

RABBIT is Red

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

i'll say it then; it's both china and japan

and possibly all over east Asia

no harm in saying that when you were already correct about it

PiIsNot3

I guess I’ll pass since anything I guess at this point would be a shot in the dark

[pass]

Shiro

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

if nut is the assassin, that would be hilarious with what month it is

PiIsNot3

Worried about the “Spin” clue being more narrowed down because of my SATURN guess...

Business Cat

19:37

so I'm thinking that POLICE was the other weapon word, not REVOLUTION

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

revolution was a weapon word

Business Cat

Because he wouldn't have separated REVOLUTION from Spin

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

oh

Business Cat

that's a very obvious spin word

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

wait who?

Business Cat

19:37

our SM

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

oh

it is now that I think about it

I was thinking revolution as in wars

as in the American revolution

or the Russian one

Business Cat

yes, that made sense

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

or French

let's see what the new clue is

John Dvorak

Blue: Color(0)

Business Cat

hm

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:38

so we get one guess

and it's not a color?

Business Cat

no, 0 clue is infinite guesses

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

oh

PiIsNot3

Oh boy, I think I know what’s about to happen

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

wanna guess the color?

or go for revolution

Business Cat

definitely not

0 means don't guess that

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:39

stupid spam filter. I have problems being quiet

PiIsNot3

0 typically means “don’t guess this”, but you do you I guess :)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I thought it was an unlimited clue

so revolution then?

Business Cat

we already guessed it

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

police i mean

thanks

Business Cat

I think police is for sure

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:40

POLICE

Shiro

POLICE is Blue

Business Cat

I interpret this clue as "orange is the assassin and you already have all information you need"

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

that's a good way to do it

nut for spin?

what do we have left

Business Cat

I think nut for spin works

I'm unsure on the other spin word right now

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

NUT

Shiro

19:41

NUT is Blue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

that sounds painful

that was awful, i'm sorry

PiIsNot3

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Better than the alternative I guess

user58

....

Business Cat

Maybe LOCK?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

do locks spin?

Business Cat

19:42

you spin the thing on a combination lock

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

some i guess

Business Cat

That's the most related thing I can think of

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

should we go for it? Is it worth the risk?

Business Cat

our next guess either wins us the game or loses us the game

so we just need to pick what we feel best about

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

so let's go for it

I see no other options

let's look at the board

Business Cat

19:43

the only other remote thing I can see is FAIR, for like spinning rides at a fair

but that's extremely loose

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I thought that too

but some locks spin

lock it is i guess

Business Cat

That is what I'm most confident in

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

LOCK

Shiro

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

Business Cat

welp

PiIsNot3

19:45

Yeeeeesss! I was right!

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

about what?

PiIsNot3

I’ll tell ya later ;-)

user58

Red: Deutschland (1)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

you can't just do that

you were going to guess lock too

PiIsNot3

GERMANY

Shiro

19:45

GERMANY is Red

John Dvorak

yeah, that's not an English word ;)

PiIsNot3

[pass]

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

can you just translate the word?

Shiro

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

no because it's too easy

PiIsNot3

19:46

Was FAIR blue?

user58

No, it was black.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

was orange blue?

or yellow?

user58

!finalboard

Shiro

Business Cat

ham?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:46

ham?

John Dvorak

Team... Orange is food. Nut is food. Guess what the only other food on board is ... and a spinny one, too?

PiIsNot3

Daaaang, I was so sure it was FAIR

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

didn't think ham spun

i guess it can

user58

326534877

BEAT, GROUND, PASS, GERMANY, SATURN, PAPER, JET, BOLT, RABBIT.

GROUND, PASS, JET = "boarding". You "board" a JET on the GROUND and you need a PASS.

(gives "boarding clue")

...no, not ROW. That's Blue, please don't go there. STAFF is blue as well. :|

Doing PASS and JET first is good, but then you should probably, um, [pass]. Don't go for STAFF or ROW, please...

PASS down. JET down.

"I’m more inclined to play ROW or STAFF" ....don't. Maybe Bus can talk him out of it.

....Bus switched teams.

PiIsNot3

I can’t believe I get that refeenxe

John Dvorak

19:47

How do you make ham? I'd just stab a slab of meat and put it over fire.

GG

20191102-1933

Summoned for another game. Awesome.
Streak of starting second: ... just 2 actually
Blue words: Police, Nut, Bow, Revolution, Staff, Row, Roulette, Ham
Black: Fair

Nut Revolution = tighten... terrible clue because Bolt

Red plays Boarding(3). Ground, Pass, Jet intended? Beat?

Roulette Revolution has the same root. Can I add a third? A Bow can be used to make a thing spin, for example when starting fires. Nuts spin when tightened. Bolts do as well though. Hams spin when getting roasted. Saturn spins in space, and it's red. Also, people dance and spin at a Fair. It's the loose…

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I was thinking cured ham

not the baked or roasted kind

John Dvorak

true

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

the simpsons was right about pigs

John Dvorak

Still food though ;)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

they are, in fact, wonderful magical animals

we were thinking orange as the color, not the fruit

so we didn't get your logic

and I eat a lot of citrus, so that's weird

user58

19:50

@JohnDvorak It has been a while since I've actually won.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

speaking of oranges, where I live it's clementine season

user58

Now, I've got to pop off for a bit, back in like ten minutes.

John Dvorak

I can still play

PiIsNot3

I can SM, but I have to switch devices

Business Cat

I'm probably gonna head out for now

John Dvorak

19:52

\o

PiIsNot3

Ok nvm

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

o/

i'm ok with playing

need some more water though

I say o/ and not 0/ because I don't know how to SM so I don't want to

I can't because of lack of ability moreso than lack of desire

PiIsNot3

Can someone try the whitelist thing again?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

what does that do?

PiIsNot3

Allows you to use Shiro commands

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

19:57

ok

is anyone even still here
