We have 4
Let me switch to my laprip
@DJMcMayhem You still up for SMing?
01:29
Sho
laptop ready
I can probably only play a game or two; i'm not kidding about the laundry
@Khuldraesethna'Barya you want to SM, I can but never have before
i'm in the same boat @MilesZew
laundry is srs bnz
that and it's 8:30 PM
01:31
Ok, I'm ready when everyone else is
Coinflip for the other SM?
I could do it if I have to
sounds good
01:31
R = Platypus, B = Miles
!coinflip
...uh, Shiro?
!coinflip
do you not have bot priviliges?
01:32
Red
yes! finally!
so what do I do?
DJ can start the game.
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Room owners and moderators automatically have bot privs.
01:33
Who's the other SM?
Or I can do the newgame thing I guess.
I should probably hop off Slay the Spire now :D
MULTI-GAME DRIFTING!!!

@JohnDvorak Game's starting if you want to play.
!leave Eliendia Starman
BLUE: DJMcMayhem,
how do I view the board?
01:35
!joinblue
BLUE: DJMcMayhem, El'endia Starman
Better. :)
Then put in the seed from your one-time secret
I knew there was an apostrophe, I even thought about it and typed it at least once before editing
I think i goti t
01:36
Pins are wack again. Gonna take a look at that and hopefully fix it later this week.
If the board you see looks the same as that one a few messages above, yeah you got it.
board is looking a little easier than the last game
sorry, SMing is hard. Still working on a clue
You're keeping a log right? :)
01:39
Yes
That's taking up most of my thoughts
!join
Hi PiIsNot3, you'll be joining team blue!
BLUE: DJMcMayhem, El'endia Starman, PiIsNot3
I’ll be in and out
Red: Butt(1)
01:42
Seeing nothing but TAIL.
same
TAIL is Red
[pass]
01:43
A respectable start. :)
One minute, I haven't looked at the board yet
I think i'll stick to playing in the future
better than losing one
this is really difficult
Yea, it might make it easier if you started thinking of your hint as soon as the opponents round starts
01:45
OK, Slay the Spire is officially closed, I'm officially starting ;)
I was once where you are. After some playing, though, you'll start seeing clues much more easily.
I could think of exactly 1 thing that would clue more than 1 word, and I am almost positive nobody would get it
Though not as easily as John Dvorak. No clue how he does it.
But hey! You're one for one, which is more than a certain n_palum can say.
wait what did he do?
The starred messages tell his tale.
@DJMcMayhem your turn
@El'endiaStarman I can’t focus on this 100%, but I trust that whatever you do will be good
I know
@Khuldraesethna'Barya Eh, hard for me to tell what the tale is/was.
Blue: Venemous (3)
01:51
I know i'm the opposite team, but you misspelled that
Haha, whoops
Doesn’t matter, we know the intention
TOOTH and SPIDER are two.
Just assume I meant Venomous
SPIDERs are venomous, yes
01:52
DROP?, AGENT?
And a TOOTH might have venom on it, though I mostly associate that with fangs
Fangs are pretty close to being teeth.
True, we’ll put that on the ledger
And Codenames is nothing if not a game of tenuous connections.
3
So, I'll go ahead and play SPIDER then TOOTH?
Besides that, I’m not sure, don’t feel confident about either DROP or AGENT
@El'endiaStarman True dat :)
I’m assuming AGENT figuratively i.e. backstabbing, can’t see a connection to DROP though
@El'endiaStarman Sure, I’m fine with that
01:56
SPIDER
SPIDER is Blue
TOOTH is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn
01:56
Nice, we’re even!
Seriously, fangs aren't teeth?
I didn't know that, now that tooth is revealed
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus No, they’re made of flesh iirc
At least on a snake
In the words of Dr. Evil:"I don't know animals"
Except I know i like animals
crap it's my turn
Just FYI @ThePuzzlingPlatypus It's best to say as little as possible if you're SM
01:58
Hopping out for a bit
@PiIsNot3 A "venomous agent" would be a toxic substance that gets injected. Iffy but "agent" in the sense of "substance" is definitely a thing. DROP was more along the lines of "a drop of venom".
!who let the dogs out
We are currently waiting for a clue from the Red spymaster.
Shiro doesn't see edits
Gonna have to resend the clue
01:59
Possibly soldier?
Red: Storm(2)
I'm seeing JUPITER and EYE.
Yes
Just saw that
JUPITER first probably
JUPITER
02:01
JUPITER is Red
alright
EYE
EYE is Red
Shiro speaks truth!
[pass]
[pass]
02:02
Nice!
Slow and steady might be the way to go
I hope not, I need to fold laundry and go to bed
@El'endiaStarman I see, I don’t think either of those are iffy at all considering TOOTH didn’t work
BOTTLE is another option.
Oooh, maybe HOSPITAL. That's where you go if you get bitten/stung/etc...
Blue: Mountain (2)
02:09
Let’s focus on this current clue though
OLYMPUS, obvs.
Yep, OLYMPUS is a mountain
Let’s just play that right away
ROCK for the other?
OLYMPUS
OLYMPUS is Blue
BELT is another possibility that we should consider
02:10
How so?
As in a mountain range, which can also be called a belt
Oh, not bad.
I prefer ROCK though.
That connection came up on a previous game, which is why I bring it up
ROCK seems a bit better though, I agree
playing it then
ROCK
ROCK is Blue
02:11
good
Wanna go for a possible venom word?
OK, which “Venomous” woed do you wanna go for?
One of AGENT, DROP, HOSPITAL, or BOTTLE.
I prefer AGENT or of all of those
AGENT is Red
When will you learn?
It is now Red's turn
02:13
ouch
No I don’t prefer it anymore
Yeah, let's not pick it.
Be back in a bit
@El'endiaStarman That's a good idea :P
02:13
I knew that wasn't going to go well for you
Red: Wheel(1)
I'm thinking roulette?
Liking ROULETTE
ok, lets do it
ROULETTE
ROULETTE is Red
02:15
Only half of it!
"Letting the other team guess your words? Bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them!" :P
[pass]
@El'endiaStarman you joke, but that's the best strategy I have
02:17
If it works, it works...
I'm short on ideas
Wait until you see what my first idea was
Also, I am ashamed I had to google your reference, because that movie was awesome
In a stupid way, but still, I liked that movie
I'm actually not sure if I've seen the movie. I see the meme often.
Funny movie though. I liked it
Back, and we’re still missing a “Venomous” word
Maybe ROSE? I may haves heard the phrase “venomous rose” before
Blue: Yard (2)
02:23
TRAIN
If we’re talking playgrounds, SWINGs are in yards
And...SWING?
TRAIN is there more obvious connection though
TRAIN is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn
02:23
Is
No it’s not obvious! The Codenames curse strikes again!
HOW COULD YOU I ;_;
I would have guessed swing
;)
02:25
Don't you worry, surely DJ will give us an (unlimited) clue next turn so we can get all five Blue words in one go...
I have a feeling TPP’s slow and steady strat might actually work
Anyway, off again
I'm only doing that because I absolutely suck at this
but if it works it works
Does "asking your parents" count as external research for the rules?
It doesn't matter, they're watching TV anyway
I'm sure it does. :P
Red: Music (2)
PIANO, of course.
02:29
yep
PIANO
PIANO is Red
maybe swing
not totaly sure
Oh jeez, if SWING turns out to be red... :X
02:31
I'm apprehensive because of blues "yard" hint
CASINO is another possibility
@El'endiaStarman you’re on your own for the next clue, can’t look at my phone while driving
It is, and maaaaybe BELT
Yeah, don't do that
02:32
@PiIsNot3 That's fine, drive safe!
Very small chance of soldier, but I think casino is safer
so either CASINO or SWING?
I lean CASINO.
ok, lets do it
CASINO is Blue
What were you thinking?
It is now Blue's turn
02:33
:(
Ping me when it's my turn, gotta fold laundry
keep going though
Blue: Ambulance (2)
02:40
Okay, definitely HOSPITAL lol.
Maybe TRIP too?
Seems straightforward. (Famous last words.)
HOSPITAL
HOSPITAL is Blue
had me worried for a moment there
TRIP
TRIP is Blue
cool
[pass]
02:42
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus you're up
I knwo thanks
Red: Evian(2)
just to clarify, that is a real thing
Red: **Evian** (2)
Shiro doesn't like the number in bold
Not a clue what that is. Miles?
I've seen Shiro be fine with the number in bold though?
02:45
No idea
I always bold my number. No problem.
!who ya gonna call
!whostbusters
Owl is nowhere on the board, guys
02:45
Red currently has 3 guesses remaining.
Red currently has 3 guesses remaining.
Alright
TIL
Is googling legal
?
welp
pass?
02:46
I'm thinking guess the other music one, pass, and pray.
@MilesZew You must guess at least once
lets go swing
then
To tell the truth, I'm not really sold on SWING, considering YARD.
If it's blue, we lose.
true
In any case, we're not winning this turn. I'm liking a random guess here.
02:48
I agree
lets go... honey?
inb4 assassin
Want a d12 roll?
sure
Rolled 10. Counting left to right, then top to bottom (skipping SWING), that's HONEY. Sounds good.
Wait
It's SOLDIER
ok
go for it
02:50
Eh, I don't care as long as it's not SWING. Your call.
lets go soldier
SOLDIER
SOLDIER is Black (assassin!).
Game over. Blue wins!
nooooooooooooo
how did you get soldier?
Hmm, not a lot of things that go together on red
All the good connections are cross-color
Is there a way to clue plastic and belt?
Agent, Jupiter, Tail, Plastic, Eye, Belt, France, Roulette, Piano
My first thought is a Yugioh card: The AGENT of Miracles- JUPITER, but nobody would get that
Storm = Jupiter + Eye? Hurricane? Does Jupiter have hurricanes?
Think I’ll play it safe for now, and clue for tail. BUTT
They’re getting TAIL, that’s good.
I can’t think of any connections
Blue clues “Venemous[sic]”
Evian is a bottle water
Dang, board was posted so fast, I still wanted to give my last clue :P
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I would have gotten "Plastic" + "bottle"
02:51
O/ if anyone wants to play another
@El'endiaStarman What would have you have guessed next if I said "lawn (2)"
that was supposed to clue Plastic:France
BLUE: TRIP HOSPITAL SWING CASINO SPIDER ROSE OLYMPUS ROCK
RED: AGENT JUPITER PLASTIC EYE BELT FRANCE ROULETTE PIANO
BLACK: SOLDIER


First thoughts. Trip and hospital go together nicely. Not sure if I could get more than 2. Casino and Roulette are different colors, interesting. Rock and Olympus? Hmm. Olympus and rock?

Red started with a single word clue. Alright :shrug:

Maybe VENEMOUS for spider, hospital and then hospital > trip? There's certainly nothing else venemous on the board, but it might not be enough to get trip thought of. Might clue bottle slightly, but I think "poison" clues
Venomous and Yard were both terrible clues, I see now
02:52
@DJMcMayhem PLASTIC would've been one of my guesses, actually. Astroturf.
Aww, dang.
Would anyone have gotten that yugioh clue for Agent and Jupiter?
also how did you get soldier?
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Chance
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus No way to win that turn, and very significant chance SWING was blue. Random guess was out best bet, since hitting blue would have been just as certain doom.
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus That clue wouldn't be valid
02:53
That was not my concern
Clues can't contain part of a word that's on the board
no the clue would be "Yugioh" or soemthing
O/
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Oh, that's fine then
I'd love to, but I a. apparently suck at this, and b. am sleepy
this is why you don't rely on chance
You rely on Avi being random
still can't figure out how that guy got Bugle the other day
If I didn't know what Evian was, I would have done the same thing.
02:55
great, the other SM is the only one who knew what it was
Miles and Me for SM, El and Khuld?
and I just googled it, it's a French brand of bottled water
You know what, I'll join for one last round
o/
laundry
nvm
@DJMcMayhem Sounds good to me. But I might have to eat supper
@El'endiaStarman How about Cirque de soleil (2)? What would you have guessed for that?
@MilesZew Same, actually haha
Earlier in the game, of course
How would you clue plastic and belt together
That was an association my mind made but I couldn't figure that out
Buckle, perhaps
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I'm not sure, but "Belt" and "Piano" would be better with "Singer" or a specific singer perhaps
02:57
That's what i was going for with the music
belt out a song
I get that. But "Singer" doesn't point at "swing"
Good night everybody, I need to finish folding this laundry and go to sleep
Saw that, but thought it was a stretch.
G'night
IT kind of was
i was hoping you'd risk it
@DJMcMayhem SWING and FRANCE. Cirque de Soleil is a French name. :)
02:58
Yeah, that's why I didn't play it. I was thinking of Casino, but that dang french name ruined it
I'd have not made the connection to CASINO. They're an acrobatics group.

@El'endiaStarman Hmm, not sure why I have that association. I thought they frequently perform at Las Vegas casinos, but I'm not sure if that's true or why I think that
