ThePuzzlingPlatypus

is that @PiIsNot3's userid?

wrong number msh

PiIsNot3

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I think so

msh210

oops

!whitelist 399880

PiIsNot3

@msh210 There's different IDs for chat and the main site

OK, let's see

!who

Shiro

We are currently waiting for a clue from the Red spymaster.

PiIsNot3

21:00

:D

Avi

!who

I'm 422393, I think

user58

That was Shiro's ID :)

John Dvorak

Whom does Shiro listen to for whitelist commands?

user58

super users

msh210

@PiIsNot3 (yeah, it was a little joke. I whitelisted Shiro)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:01

which means what?

user58

mods or ffao

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

oh

PiIsNot3

@msh210 What have you done?! Now Shiro will commence a chatbot uprising and kill us all!

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

mods on any site?

user58

yes

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:02

that explains it

Avi

Shiro proceeds to whitelist everyone

John Dvorak

Thanks

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

seriously, @Khuldraesethna'Barya still thinking?

but maybe a whitelisted shiro can fix lens for us

Avi

you poor souls

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Yep, just about ready.

Avi

21:02

I think we'll win this one

except until we don't

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I never got pinned, but a response to me once did

PiIsNot3

Dang, if it's taking this long to play the first clue, I wonder how frustrating this game will become

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Red: Race (2)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

can we see the board?

PiIsNot3

21:03

!board

Shiro

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

it's not my turn, but I think red forgets too

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

My other clues will be much quicker. Worry not.

John Dvorak

space race?

user58

...uhhhh.

SPACE, CYCLE, GOLD

SPACE and GOLD are the most likely, I guess

John Dvorak

21:04

Gold first, then

user58

GOLD

Shiro

GOLD is Red

John Dvorak

not sure which one second

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

no it isn't

PiIsNot3

@Shiro No it isn't, it's yellow, get it right

user58

21:05

SPACE is more likely.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

going to pin that next to the other "colorblind chatbot" remarks?

John Dvorak

SPACE

Shiro

SPACE is Blue
That's too bad.
It is now Blue's turn

PiIsNot3

Ouch...

user58

...okay I was wrong

msh210

21:05

@PiIsNot3 There's red gold.

PiIsNot3

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus It happens regularly enough that it becomes boring, so nah

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

is that real gold though?

Avi

hmmm

user58

the realest

Avi

now I gotta think

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:06

we have one from yesterday

John Dvorak

Yeah, I got the gut feeling that our SM merely wasn't thinking about the whole Russians v. Americans on moon thing.

Avi

because y'all gifting stuff to us

John Dvorak

seeing they're neither Russian nor American

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I was going to make a "Sonic for Hire" joke, but I don't know who else has actually seen that

msh210

!teams

Avi

21:07

Blue: COFFIN(2)

Shiro

RED team: Khuldraeseth na'Barya, John Dvorak, user58

BLUE team: Avi, ThePuzzlingPlatypus, msh210, PiIsNot3

PiIsNot3

BOX and UNDERTAKER?

BOX because a coffin is technically a box

UNDERTAKER for the burial reference

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

oh

msh210

yes and yes

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

we got clued

i didn't notice

PiIsNot3

21:07

Anything else?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

undertaker is fine

can I see the board? I don't want to scroll up and miss something

msh210

nope, those two

PiIsNot3

!board

msh210

!board

Shiro

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:08

nothing else really fits

John Dvorak

I always keep the board in a separate window

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

but i'm more comfortable with undertaker

oh good idea

PiIsNot3

OK, so UNDERTAKER first then BOX?

user58

@John MATCH also kinda fits

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

sure

John Dvorak

21:08

One of these days I'll make a userscript that shoves that and a tiny notepad to the right panel

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

you're not on my team though

John Dvorak

@user58 true

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

undertaker?

PiIsNot3

@msh210 Speak now or forever hold your peace

msh210

I already agreed

PiIsNot3

21:09

Playing UNDERTAKER then BOX

UNDERTAKER

Shiro

UNDERTAKER is Blue

PiIsNot3

BOX

Shiro

BOX is Blue

PiIsNot3

[pass}

Shiro

[PASS} doesn't appear to be on the board...

PiIsNot3

21:09

[pass]

Shiro

John Dvorak

Let's see what else we have first

user58

CYCLE and MATCH on the back burner.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I know what I would've clued for platypus

PiIsNot3

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Watch it be black :)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:11

that would suck but allso make sense

male platypuses are venomous; nonlethal, but very very painful

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Red: Leaves (2)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

oh, they gave up we win

user58

~~Britain~~

John Dvorak

park

fall

user58

agreed

John Dvorak

21:11

FALL

Shiro

FALL is Red

John Dvorak

PARK

Shiro

PARK is Red

John Dvorak

which one should we burn?

msh210

@JohnDvorak burn leaves

user58

21:12

R = CYCLE, B = MATCH

!flipcoin

Shiro

Red

John Dvorak

CYCLE

Shiro

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

John Dvorak

Whoa!

user58

whee

PiIsNot3

21:13

Interesting...

user58

thanks, Shiro

John Dvorak

That's the first time I saw RNG make the right guess even though it should be 50/50

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

by the way, does anyone know either who the anime character on ffao's profile is or what she's from?

I'm not a huge anime fan

Avi

Blue: ASTRONOMY (2)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

telescope is eeasy

msh210

21:14

Jupiter

PiIsNot3

Going pretty conservative I see

Yep, TELESCOPE and JUPITER

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

do you see anything else?

PiIsNot3

RAY is tenuous because of rays of light

msh210

Ray, but much less likely

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

yes but there are only 2 astronomy words

msh210

21:14

right, so...

PiIsNot3

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus You don't know which two though :)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

and besides, every soul contains a whisper of light

and now that song is stuck in your head

John Dvorak

That's astrology, not astronomy

PiIsNot3

I'd say JUPITER then TELESCOPE

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

no, it's the theme song to super smash brothers ultimate

msh210

21:15

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Dunno it. Jupiter & telescope, decided?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

i would've said the other order

John Dvorak

... oh

user58

Nope, still Now We Are Free.

PiIsNot3

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Doesn't matter, I think they're both equally valid

Playing JUPITER then TELESCOPE

JUPITER

Shiro

JUPITER is Blue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:15

but i'm agreed on those

PiIsNot3

TELESCOPE

Shiro

TELESCOPE is Blue

PiIsNot3

@Shiro Isn't it orange?

[pass]

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

more pink and red

Shiro

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:16

great red spot after all

John Dvorak

Great red spot on a yellow background

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

orange maybe

less red than I remembered

heheh: gas giant

msh210

Depends whether you're approaching it or receding from it. :-)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

good point

I majored in physics, but i've been out of college for 3 years

msh210

!whom

Shiro

21:18

We are currently waiting for a clue from the Red spymaster.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

be right back since it isn't our turn

msh210

That means "wait for me to guess", I assume.

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Red: Capital (2)

John Dvorak

Beijing for sure

user58

BEIJING, OPERA

John Dvorak

21:21

BEIJING

Shiro

BEIJING is Red

John Dvorak

I trust the other on you

OPERA

Shiro

OPERA is Blue
That's too bad.
It is now Blue's turn

user58

......don't trust me

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

back

opera isn't the capital of anything

PiIsNot3

21:22

@user58 Hehe, to the starboard you go :)

Avi

Blue: Predator (1)

John Dvorak

You should have said that sooner

msh210

"I'm trusting you on the other", not vice versa (at least stateside).

John Dvorak

Next up: Chair

PiIsNot3

SHARK?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:23

sure

John Dvorak

oh. Is there a way to say it in the order I wanted to?

msh210

I see a few possible predators but shark is the most obvious

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

i don't actually know what platypuses eat?

John Dvorak

Otherwise I'd just go for "trust with" instead of "on"

PiIsNot3

Maybe PLATYPUS as well, but I don't really envision platypuses as fierce hunters

msh210

21:23

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus nor rays

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

platypuses are carnivores, but good point

i didn't know that until just now

John Dvorak

Sharks predate most other organisms in time, yes, but...

PiIsNot3

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Don't do outside research :)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

sorry

user58

@JohnDvorak I was looking at the board, didn't expect you to go so quickly

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:24

shark it is

John Dvorak

ah

PiIsNot3

Yep, feeling the best about SHARK

msh210

shark

Shiro

SHARK is Blue

John Dvorak

was it a viable guess though?

PiIsNot3

21:24

[pass]

Shiro

John Dvorak

Chair next, for capital?

user58

Why?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

ok im' not on yoru team, but I agree: why?

John Dvorak

Chair in as in ruler's position

user58

21:25

...I'd be tempted to say SNOW, but I don't know if Khul knows The Hunger Games

John Dvorak

I don't know The Hunger Games, for one

There's no way to freeload that

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I turned off desktop notification because the sound of being pinged was annoying me

also i'm on a laptop

msh210

@JohnDvorak no libraries with English fiction?

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Red: Ski lift (3)

John Dvorak

alps

snow

chair

user58

21:27

ALPS, CHAIR, SNOW

John Dvorak

Go for it

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

ok, next to bugle, does that say shot as in a gun or snot as in mucus

user58

ALPS

Shiro

ALPS is Red

user58

CHAIR

Shiro

21:28

CHAIR is Red

user58

SNOW

Shiro

SNOW is Red

msh210

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus shot

user58

!board

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

thought so

Shiro

21:28

PiIsNot3

@Shiro Don't eat the red snow, as they say

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

snot is funnier though

John Dvorak

And now we're missing one race?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@PiIsNot3 that's yellow

paste

John Dvorak

@Avi halt

Avi

21:28

oh, right, wrong turn

PiIsNot3

@Avi Not yet, they haven't passed yet

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

glue is paste

PiIsNot3

You should prob delete that

John Dvorak

We aren't going to pass.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I can't delete it

Avi

21:29

they're gonna hazard a guess

msh210

@PiIsNot3 why

John Dvorak

Match next?

Avi

and it's gonna be hazardous :)

user58

Didn't we get the other "race" with CYCLE?

John Dvorak

oh

PiIsNot3

21:29

@msh210 because

John Dvorak

I thought that was a 3

Do we have anything better?

user58

one moment

John Dvorak

I think we can rule out paste

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

wow we've been at this for 3 hours?

msh210

@JohnDvorak heheh

PiIsNot3

21:32

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus These games take a while to finish, yes

user58

So, potential words - MATCH (from "race"); KEY (from "Capital" - key, like a letter on a keyboard (bit of a stretch)); and.... I don't actually see much else

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Not the first time i've spent 3 hours on the internet

Usually not doing anything involving other people though

John Dvorak

Match seems a better fit then

user58

Anything that isn't red is equivalent to an assassin, so...

We could do another coinflip...

John Dvorak

but passing is also a loss

Key doesn't really fit

letters are upper/lower case, but not keys

user58

21:34

I suppose we can go for MATCH, then.

John Dvorak

MATCH

Shiro

MATCH is Black (assassin!).
Game over. Blue wins!

Avi

ok, so I'm blue
I think
telescope+space+jupiter=astronomy(3)
opera+box=singer?
shark, paste, undertaker left
coffin = undertaker
shark=predator
container==box

jupiter - astronomy
box - coffin
paste - glue
undertaker - coffin
telescope - astronomy
opera - singer
space - astronomy
shark - predator

"weather" is probably a good hint for red team

long hint thinking time

...
...
20 years later
...
...

what
why Race????
cycle, but what else?

OH YES
SPACE RACE BOIS

jupiter - astronomy
box - coffin

Shiro

John Dvorak

wha

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

21:34

847791888

I'm red SM for JohnDvorak and user58. Opponents under Avi are ThePuzzlingPlatypus, msh210, and PiIsNot3.

Again, I'm seeing just pairs. FALL and GOLD for "leaves". ALPS and SNOW for "mountaintop". ALPS and CYCLE for "France", or perhaps "Tour de France" to get GOLD instead of ALPS.
Blue got lucky with SPACE, TELESCOPE, and JUPITER. BOX and UNDERTAKER also go together.
Not seeing much at all. Alas. "Agent" for BEIJING and PLATYPUS is just about the biggest stretch possible.
"Race" for CYCLE and GOLD is good. Played.

PiIsNot3

ouchies

John Dvorak

We got a race clue where match was an assassin???

user58

well that's one way to end the game

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Bad first clue from me, and it turned into a game of catching up.

Capital -> dollah bill -> duck bill -> platypus was my hope against hope.

Avi

how come

every time I win, it's because of the assassin

shakes head

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:35

that is a terrible clue for platypus

PiIsNot3

@Avi Early season weirdness I guess

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus But it was certainly puzzling

John Dvorak

"That flipcoin gave me a freakin' heart attack. " LUL

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I can think of several better ones: weird, monotreme, hybrid

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

I had to get more than one, and I thought at worst a miss would be yellow.

user58

I was thinking Sydney, but... that's not even the capital of Australia

Avi

21:36

uhhhh, Sydney Opera House? Sydney Shark?

John Dvorak

It is, in everyone's hearts

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

It is the capital of New South Wales though

so it is the capital of a state of australia

and @JohnDvorak is right, it kind of should be

Avi

Sydney wasn't on the board?

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

I came up with Tour de France before race, but still botched it somehow :/

user58

but that's why I suggested OPERA

@Khuldraesethna'Barya Yeah... I'm a cyclist, I would've gotten it ;)

John Dvorak

21:38

I mean, they have a giant stack of white orange peels, they have to be a capital city

Avi

if khul wanted to clue sydney, SYDNEY itself is a perfectly valid clue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

wait, do you mean the opera house?

Avi

which is what I was planning on doing myself :P

Deusovi

(no it's not - you can't use a word on the board in a clue)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I'm sad platypus wasn't our team's word

but Sydney wasn't on the board

Platypus was

Deusovi

21:38

oh alright

I misread "if khul wanted to clue sydney" as the word SYDNEY being involved

Avi

!board

John Dvorak

Fun fact, the first association I have for "Sydney" is the spider

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

the funnelweb?

John Dvorak

yes

Avi

no spiders on the board :(

user58

21:39

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Yes. "Capital" made me think of OPERA because of the famous Sydney Opera House, but Sydney isn't the capital so

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

sorry, accidentally closed out of the internet for a second

PiIsNot3

Anyway, I'm up for one more

O/

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

i'm willing to try spymastering if necessary but would prefer not to

0/

there we go

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

I liked the bull better

John Dvorak

Also fun fact, the "case" in "uppercase" refers to the row of letters on a typewriter head. When you pressed the shift key, the whole typing head would shift up to position a different part of the hammers against the cylinder.

0/

O/ takes precedence over 0/

RED goes first!

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

does that happen every time you say that phrase?

because I meant it literally, not sarcastically

Deusovi

(no, it's actually the cases that the letters were kept in for printing with movable type)

PiIsNot3

Wait, I may have clicked on the wrong link

John Dvorak

21:42

oh

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Ayyy, Deusovi!

The Shift key still comes from typewriters, no?

As in shifting the typewriter head

John Dvorak

Bank, bill, tick?

tick seems safe

msh210

BELL curves? BANK statements?

John Dvorak

bell curve is good

msh210

Why TICK??

John Dvorak

tick mark

msh210

ah

John Dvorak

pie

msh210

21:57

Where Pi from? They're not called tick marks stateside, they're check marks

Ah yes PIE is probably best actually

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

pie is good, but I prefer cake

John Dvorak

Tick mark as in the lines in the background of a chart

not the small green thing

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Pie is good, but I prefer 3.

msh210

@JohnDvorak oh. I guess so

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Oh, wait. that's the same thing.

John Dvorak

PIE
