RED goes first!
Aight John, let's do this! (cue Ceave Gaming theme)
red: Crossbow(3)
hmm
BOLT and SHOT are readily apparent.
BARK and RAY seem plausible.
KNIGHT probably isn't intended. Unless John is thinking that KNIGHTs get SHOT by crossbow BOLTs...
BOLT
22:41
BOLT is Red
SHOT is Red
I don't think CENTAURs normally use crossbows.
I spent my weekends shooting ambulances with crossbows as a kid. Fond memories...
Going with BARK since crossbows are typically made of wood. RAY is an alternative.
BARK
22:43
BARK is Blue
Oh, dear.
It is now Blue's turn
alrighty
Blue: Olympus (2)
I think Jupiter is also a possible?
22:49
Referencing the God?
or Centaur?
well wait centaur is not the right mythology
Neither is Jupiter
Jupiter is one of the gods- in Roman mythology but in greek it was something else I think it was God of war
so i agree with mount
MOUNT is Blue
22:51
@ElizB That was Aries
Yes!
okay so I can't think of any others that would have that connection to olympus
I'm ok with Jupiter. Maybe Pi's got it wrong as well :P
okay
Jupiter
JUPITER is Blue
22:54
alright
[pass]
ElizB over here gloating... =_=
:P
:P can't touch this hehe
22:55
....well, I could.....
Hi DJMcMayhem, you'll be joining team red!
RED: John Dvorak, El'endia Starman, DJMcMayhem
Hahaha
!teams
wow lol
22:56
@Shiro How many times has it been so far?
RED team: John Dvorak, El'endia Starman, DJMcMayhem
BLUE team: PiIsNot3, caird coinheringaahing, ElizB
@PiIsNot3 I think 8 or 9
red: Half-man(3)
It was guaranteed to happen this time though
22:57
@El'endiaStarman What was the last clue?
Ah-ha, CENTAUR might've been the third word for the last clue.
@DJMcMayhem CROSSBOW (3). I got BOLT and SHOT, but then donated BARK to Blue.
I would probably have done KNIGHT
For half-man, CENTAUR is good
Yeah, right time period.
Only others I can think of for half-man are SHARK (a DC character) and SCORPION (Mortal Kombat).
What's the DC character? Shark-man?
Something like that yeah.
CENTAUR
23:00
CENTAUR is Red
Hmmm
@El'endiaStarman Or Scorpion the Spiderman villain?
Oooh, sure. I don't particularly know that one though.
Shark/Scorpion seem like stretches to me
...
could...
could STAR be one of them?
But I have no idea what else it could be
23:02
[looks at own name]
:O
That would be hilarious
Question is: am I being too clever again? :P
I think that's a reasonable guess
STAR > KNIGHT > ?
!board
23:05
Not sure
But I agree with STAR > KNIGHT
STAR is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn
Or maybe KNIGHT is more likely
23:08
Blue: Track and field (3)
lap for sure, grass maybe
march?
because marching is a form of walking
23:11
Yeah, I don't see anything else better
Lap > Grass > March
yup I agree
Also, Track and Field is done in March
LAP
LAP is Blue
GRASS is Blue
23:12
Maybe Pupil?
You do Track and Field at school
ehhh it's too tenuous
you just said track and field is done in march?
It was when I did it in school
okay then that's probably the word, not pupil
let's do march
Eyyy I did track-and-field in school too! (For like one year...)
23:13
MARCH is Blue
Nice, good thinking @ElizB :P
haha you as well
@El'endiaStarman We had to do it every year for 5 years :/
Which events did you do?
23:15
Oh a lot
Give me a second to try to remember
Alright then, favorites?
1500m and Long Jump
I mainly did the mile/1600m, but also the 4x200m relay a couple times.
there's the long jump, different distance runs, team runs, etc
oooh, neat
23:16
oh duh the relay that's what it's called :P
100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, Long/Triple/High Jump, 100/400m relays, Discus, Javelin, Shot Put
I think that was it
Blue currently has 1 guesses remaining.
Oooh, I'd have thought it neat if I got to try javelin. (Not really beefy though, so I definitely wouldn't have made the team even if my district had that event.)
Hey @DJMcMayhem, you ever hear that story of the Tetris AI that paused the game and left it paused indefinitely in order to avoid losing? :P
Oh yeah, I'm not sure where I heard that
23:18
Probably in stories of machine learning gone wrong/unexpected.
oh wait so let's go ahead and pass lol
the red team is waiting for us to pass
ah shoot lol :P
@cairdcoinheringaahing Ping
Why the ping?
Oh right, its still our turn :/
[PASS]
23:21
ooof
Ugh, 6/2
This looks rather promising
Red: Holy Mass(5)
Church
23:21
WATER, CHURCH
table?
water
TABLE yeah probably.
WAKE (i.e. a funeral)
I was thinking that too
Do we want to also consider KNIGHT from a previous clue?
23:23
That'd give us 5 altogether. Need one more.
But probably save it until later
Also sounds like John is completely dropping the half-man clue.
Day? Holy-day, sunday?
Good option.
I'm wondering why the clue is Holy mass, rather than just mass.
Is it just to make us not think of mass as in weight?
23:25
I think so yeah.
CHURCH > WATER > WAKE > TABLE > DAY > KNIGHT?
Also, my knowledge of Catholicism is a bit shaky. Does mass refer to a church service or communion?
Service.
There's communion at every Mass though.
@El'endiaStarman Yes
here goes!
CHURCH
CHURCH is Red
23:27
WATER
WATER is Red
WAKE is Red
TABLE is Red
DAY is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn
Still a pretty good turn
RAY is another possibility.
23:28
Why?
Blue: Sting (2)
Holy rays.
I was thinking about "rayman" last turn lol
ohhh like the game character?
23:29
Yeah
@ElizB Thoughts?
hmmm
scorpion and ray look good
SCORPION is Blue
23:32
RAY is Blue
!finalboard
23:32
red: Jaws(2)
@JohnDvorak Games up :P
I'd rather have the finalboard not shown

Another day at the SM job, hope this one goes well!

RED: John Dvorak (SM), El'endia Starman
BLUE: me (SM), caird coinheringaahing, ElizB
RED goes first!

Seed: 12178969
Blue: JUPITER, SCORPION, MOUNT, MARCH, LAP, GRASS, BARK, RAY
Red: WAKE, WATER, SHOT, BOLT, CENTAUR, SHARK, CHURCH, BOND, TABLE
Yellow: STAR, DAY, PASTE, KNIGHT, PUPIL, AIR, S HAKESPEARE
Black: AMBULANCE

Immediate thought was “Astrology” for JUPITER + SCORPION, but unfortunately STAR blocks this.
Likewise, “Deadly” for SCORPION + RAY can hit SHARK or AMBULANCE.
23:33
20191117

Red words: Wake, Water, Shot, Bolt, Centaur, Shark, Church, Bond, Table
Ambulance is death. I guess we're playing the US version today!

Ranged weapon seems good: Shot, Bolt, Centaur. All work with Bow. Bond will wait for Sharks.
Bow doesn't fit Bolt, Crossbow doesn't fit Centaur... but it kinda does, eh...
Playing Crossbow(3). In retrospect, let's really hope they don't get Ambulance!
Bolt and Shot easily seen.
Bark and Ray are both blue. I don't see how Bark would work. Ray... maybe?
> Ambulance is death. I guess we're playing the US version today!
3
I don't see the connection between BOND and SHARK
Just one of the ways in which he almost died
@PiIsNot3 @caird and especially @ElizB, I don't get why y'all thought centaurs weren't Greek. Chiron is a famous centaur in Greek mythology.
Oh wait, ElizB, you play Norse gods more often...
I wouldn't have known. My mythology is pretty shaky
IIRC aren't centaurs Harry Potter mythology?
23:36
Nooo
@El'endiaStarman Yeah actually, that is true, but JUPITER was a more direct connection IMO
The Zelda version is called "lynel" and they're pretty dangerous
Nothing in Harry Potter originated there. (Possibly an exaggeration but Rowling did draw on many myths and legends.)
@PiIsNot3 Agreed. I would've gotten MOUNT and JUPITER immediately from that clue.
@El'endiaStarman I get the feeling that the character of Harry Potter did :P
23:37
0/
Also if mythology isn't your strong suit, then you can also go a slightly more tenuous astronomy route with Olympus -> Mount Olympus -> Mars -> Jupiter
o/
@PiIsNot3 Yeah, like Olympus Mons on Mars.
o/
O/
^Does that force El'endia to also SM?
23:40
hmm, not sure.
@El'endiaStarman ?
I don't see why it should, just refuse to tell him anything about the game :P
well... we are sitting about 4 feet away from each other
Just keep your SM board on the screen I can't see. I promise I won't look. :)
Unintentional crosstalk would be unavoidable
Didn't DJ SM when his wife was playing as not-SM?
23:43
Yep
And, there was one case of crosstalk
hmm
@JohnDvorak No there wasn't!
... worry at least
Personally I think it's doable, just need to keep emotion outbursts to oneself :)
23:45
FTR: Wikipedia claims that Scorpion is an undead ninja
gyah this will be a hard thing
Your call
maybe I'm better off not SM'ing
@JohnDvorak [shrug] I was reaching for possibilities since nothing made sense.
Alright, I guess I can SM.
alright
23:46
Cool, let's do this
!newgame El'endia Starman, ElizB, DJMcMayhem, John Dvorak, PiIsNot3, caird coinheringaahing

BLUE goes first!
The streak is broken...
23:47
@El'endiaStarman I'm so sorry
RIP in peace
Can I get an F in the chat?
Wanna switch around?
Nah, it's fine lol
Nah, Shiro must have a good reason for the separation
@JohnDvorak It's not real in that case :P
Ah, I'm first. Okay, gimme a few minutes...
Blue: TREE (3)
Oh whoops wrong team lol
23:56
Bark for sure
hahaha
bark's good
No, I think BARK is completely off track actually
orange, as a species
23:57
Yeah, Trees don't making barking noises, dogs do :P
Of course it's off track. On track, it would harm track vehicles
namely trains
You have to water trees
true
orchard = tree plot
They offer shade, which is a shadow
true
Lock in first two?
23:59
Bark and Orange?
Yeah, I'm good with them
I actually like shadow
BARK
BARK is Blue
ORANGE
23:59
ORANGE is Blue
