It's the other type of a blind game.
Sorry, I don't have any teams stored right now!
00:09
Too bad we don't know who's which sm
Try using commas instead of spaces
@user58 I think you're the one with the most technical knowledge behind the bot. This is weird.

> I'll be AFK for a bit cause I need to eat, but if there's gonna be another game, then o/
00:33
@El'endiaStarman I'm back now, sorry for the delay
Still thinking...
Blue: Car (3)
!wholepizzatogoplease
Blue currently has 4 guesses remaining.
Alrighty, lessee here...
GLASS, JACK, and GAS stick out to me the most.
GAS
GAS is Blue
00:41
JACK
JACK is Blue
Maybe QUEEN for Lightning McQueen? HMMM...
Oh, or STICK because stick shift.
STICK
STICK is Blue
sweet
[pass]
00:43
Wow, I didn't even notice where they were located relative to each other. :P
red: Vatican(2)
@ElizB your turn
...welp
@ElizB ping
Hmm, that's no good
Considering the board... I'll count this a win for Pi.
waaah sorry guys!
@JohnDvorak Well, I did go first, so it was a bit of an unfair advantage
Yay, the game will go on!
00:55
kim possible was playing and... yeah, i got distracted
@ElizB Sounds like you're having a great time :)
I still can forfeit ;)
okay, vatican 2
@JohnDvorak OK, you can do that by cluing the assassin
rome is definitely a good guess
rome
00:57
ROME is Red
hmm
i got nothing...
[pass]
playing it safe.
@JohnDvorak Hey, let me beat her fair and square! :P
Blue: Los Angeles Lakers (2)
01:03
heh, beating your wife is fun for you, eh @El'endiaStarman ?
Woah hey I ain't takin' that bait!
STADIUM
STADIUM is Blue
Then.....QUEEN?? I don't know any of the Lakers... :/
Might be close to HOLLYWOOD?
I have no clue. I think Hollywood is close to Los Angeles. Or maybe San Francisco. I don't remember. :/
Is there a player with the nickname "Ninja"?
HOLLYWOOD
HOLLYWOOD is Blue
woo!
[pass]
01:07
Red: PHP(0)
so the (0) means no guesses for that clue?
Means that none of your words are related to that clue.
But you get unlimited guesses
01:10
ok
You do have to guess something though, so I would suggest trying to figure out the other word for the Vatican (2) clue.
hmm yeah
I'm so sorry something sidetracked me
compound
COMPOUND is Red
ugh okay then
No that's good for you! :)
01:21
oh my goodness i'm so out of it
That is a sure sign that i'm tired haha
sorry guys
okaaaay moving on from my goof ups
@ElizB Same here tbh
Need to get outside at some point
cotton
COTTON is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn
okay there we go whew
Alright Pi, hit me.
(figuratively)
01:23
@El'endiaStarman whack
@PiIsNot3 thank you :P
Blue: Edge (3)
CLIFF is Blue
01:27
TRIANGLE is Blue
Hilariously, that fits the whole "Edge (3)" clue. :P
SHARK
SHARK is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn
oh well :P
red: Invertebrate(unlimited)
01:31
Red currently has unlimited guesses remaining.
okay good
@ElizB ^
Thanks! :)
Dealing with a small issue for an assignment submission that I didn't anticipate
for my students that is
slug
SLUG is Red
log
LOG is Red
01:35
nice
hmmm... gonna try for something related to the vatican... glass maybe? because of stained glass?
glass
GLASS is Blue
That's too bad.
It is now Blue's turn
awww
dang it
yeah, i blame my absentmindedness
01:36
Blue: Russia (1)
MOSCOW is Blue
Second game of the day. This time I even know that in time.

Red words: Compound, Slug, Rome, Fork, Link, Queen, Hook, Log
Black: Code

Hmm... lots of computery words in my list, but Code gets in the way.
Achievement considered: give a clue encompassing all of your words.

URL covers Slug/Hook/Link. Hook poorly. Slug should be fine if guesser is knowledgeable about IT. And yes, Code is a risk. Let's look for other angles of attack.
Bee gives Queen, too far from Compound. Honey gives Stick over Compound.
!finalboard
01:37
This board sucked...
Yeah, it was kinda bad for me as well
Wow yeah, SLUG, FORK, LINK, HOOK, LOG are all comp-sci-y terms, but CODE really screws that up.
@PiIsNot3 Wrong log?
You had a Location(5) given to you on a silver platter by my Vatican move
Whoops, I accidentally included the previous games', lol
@El'endiaStarman both logs
01:38
Another game right as I’m finishing up my meal. Let’s see how this goes.

Red: John Dvorak (SM), ElizB
Blue: me (SM), El’endia Starman
Blue goes first.

Seed: 161073925

Blue: GLASS, MOSCOW, CLIFF, STADIUM, JACK, STICK, TRIANGLE, HOLLYWOOD, GAS
Red: COMPOUND, SLUG, ROME, FORK, LINK, QUEEN, HOOK, LOG
Yellow: COTTON, DRESS, NINJA, WAVE, SHARK, CONCERT
Black: CODE

Right away, I see a potential “Square” for MOSCOW, HOLLYWOOD, and TRIANGLE, maybe even STADIUM. But some of these connections are pretty tenuous, and I’m not operating at 100%, so I’ll pass on that.
Better
@JohnDvorak I was worried about COMPOUND and CONCERT, but yeah, thinking back to it, "Location" would've been good
When in doubt, I always play it safe :)
When I play safe, I'm too slow
I also don't know where Hollywood is
As a native Californian, you and El make me cringe really hard
I'm not a native Californian
I knew it was in California close to a major city!
Nor are we one as a pair
01:43
I thought it was common knowledge that Hollywood was located in Los Angeles
I know it's in the USA, in a green hilly area, and it's big in film industry
@JohnDvorak It's more urban-ey than hilly actually
OK, urbany next to hilly
It's only the sign that's up on a hill
ah, thanks
01:46
GLASS + MOSCOW = St Peter's Basilica?
Shoot that's in the Vatican lol.
Guess I don't know any landmarks in Moscow.
@El'endiaStarman Yeah, me neither, "Vodka" was probably the only option
That's a good clue
@PiIsNot3 I think it's fair to call that common knowledge
45 mins ago, by El'endia Starman
I have no clue. I think Hollywood is close to Los Angeles. Or maybe San Francisco. I don't remember. :/
Just looked it up on Google Maps and yeah, Hollywood is totally not where I would've expected.
You have to consider the fact that for people like me, the only physical representation of Hollywood is the big sign up on a hill.
Oh hey, now I know where Burbank is!
(Which is saying something since that's where my boss' bosses are.)
01:54
I thought it was common knowledge, but then again, other people talk about Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones as if everyone knew about them
Which I don't
So I guess I apologize for that :)
I mean.........that went better than my "KIDA (2)" clue.........
@El'endiaStarman True, haha
Anyway, gamEn everyone, gotta get myself out of this room
\o
o\ for now, probably o\ tonight.
 
14 hours later…
15:43
O/
Or o/ as needed
@Rubiksmoose Wow, that was fast :P
[grits teeth] at work...
I'm not working today, so it's a good day for codenames :D
16:14
o/
I convinced my wife to join so that's 4
Although I'm the only one who volunteered to SM
16:29
I can't SM right now alas.
17:04
Is it ok to give my wife explicit write access to this room, since she doesn't have 20 rep yet? Or should I check with a room owner?
I think it would be fine. Can ask @user58 and/or @JohnDvorak to be sure.
The purpose of the restriction is to prevent commercial messages and inappropriate pics. There's no issue giving write access to someone who won't be doing either.
Also, 0/
Cool, sweet
Huh... do low-rep users not get avatars and usernames together with their write access? TIL.
17:12
[looks at clock].....lunch break? :P o/
I guess so haha.
Cool, we'll have to be careful with me and @user40297 Playing in the same room when I'm the SM :P
I won't cheat! xD
Let her SM against you
I'm sure there won't be unintended consequences :P
@JohnDvorak She doesn't want to SM
I'll keep the spymaster page hidden
17:17
Alright, let the game begin!
!newgame DJMcMayhem, John Dvorak, El'endia Starman, ElizB, user40297

We are currently waiting for a clue from the Red spymaster.
Also wow, @DJMcMayhem we're on the same team again. This is getting moderately ridiculous.
I am now :)
Oh yay! I won't be the only guesser phew
17:21
!join
Hi Rubiksmoose, you'll be joining team blue!
BLUE: John Dvorak, Rubiksmoose, IceDagger14
@El'endiaStarman Have you played on the same team as ElizB yet?
@IceDagger14 to be clear, you are user40297?
Oh weird, her name changed
@DJMcMayhem First time.
17:22
Yup!
!leave user40297
BLUE: John Dvorak, Rubiksmoose
!joinblue IceDagger14
BLUE: John Dvorak, Rubiksmoose, IceDagger14
Thanks, that was weird lol
17:23
Nice that you get an avatar now
Woah, Shiro edited its pinned message.
Red: ORIENTAL (2)
TURKEY for one.
And CHINA too.
Or wait, maybe it should be CHINA and TOKYO?
Definitely not FRANCE though.
I'm leaning towards CHINA and TOKYO to fit the clue and then avoid TURKEY and FRANCE from here on. Thoughts @ElizB?
"Oriental" is another word for "East Asian".
... *poke* @ElizB
@El'endiaStarman I think they're AFK. Just continue without?
Hey, at least @JohnDvorak is getting plenty of time to come up with a good clue xD
@Rubiksmoose Yeah, probably caught up in watching Kim Possible... :P
CHINA
Hahaha
17:43
CHINA is Red
4
TOKYO is Red
@Shiro The flag is too
17:44
Blue: Subordinate(3)
hmmm indeed
I don't see any straight synonyms
My first thought is too look for any people-related things that could have opportunities for a hierarchy of sorts
For whatever reason I'm gravitating towards POLICE and ROBIN
ROBIN the hero was clearly a subordinate
17:47
Oh I didn't think about ROBIN, that's cool
yeah, being batman's sidekick
I'm hoping that was something John thought of as well.
I think of DOG as well though it's not very strong
Since owners have to be an alpha-dog of sorts
Police and Doctor are the only other two I see having to directly do with people
And DOG is, as you said, an option.
oh SPY as well I guess, but normally they kind of work alone genre-wise
Any one of those you like best?
17:49
I think POLICE is stronger than DOCTOR as far as those two go. I agree, I don't think SPY as much
wanna go for police?
I think ROBIN is pretty strong. Yeah, let's do that.
I don't know how to guess, @DJMcMayhem is telling me how lol
@IceDagger14 BTW, the official syntax for guessing is **bold**
ah
police
POLICE is Blue
17:51
hecks yeah
You think we should guess ROBIN?
ROBIN is Blue
hmmm DOG or DOCTOR.
Oof that's hard lol
I wanna say DOG
but I wonder if it's a stretch
I was going to say DOCTOR lol
17:52
haha
the first two have been people so I think we're on the right track there.
let's do DOCTOR then
we could always pass of course.
But I'm willing to risk it.
So many decisions haha
let's guess it then haha
DOCTOR
17:53
DOCTOR is Blue
ya lol
[pass]
17:54
Alrighty, c'mon DJ! :)
Yeah, the more I think about it, the more DOG seems like a silly guess cuz they're not really "lower in rank" in the way subordinate means lol
@IceDagger14 I could still see it though... but yeah. I think we came to the right choice as a group :)
Nice clue too, assuming we got it right. Those are not easy clues to link together at all.
Makes me think that this might be a tougher board.
Yeah, good point. Intimidating for my first time playing it on here xD
17:57
You're doing great so far.
Aw thanks!
You absolutely are!
Which is great because I may have to go AFK for a bit randomly. I'll try to give some warning though.
Haha well I'm glad I'm not the only one on BLUE xD
Sure, no worries
It's easier for me to go AFK because DJ can just tell me when it's Blue's turn lol
@DJMcMayhem poke
