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

KIWI, RABBIT

*snoring*

caird coinheringaahing

Wah? Huh, I'm awake, I'm awake...

Rubiksmoose

lol

caird coinheringaahing

Rabbit > Bat > Kiwi

DJMcMayhem

20:51

Agreed

But I don't see any other possibilities

user58

@cairdcoinheringaahing I have literally fallen asleep playing before, because I was playing from bed

DJMcMayhem

That's a dangerous game to play

@cairdcoinheringaahing I'm going to play in that order if there are no objections

caird coinheringaahing

Agreed

DJMcMayhem

RABBIT

RABBIT is Red

I feel for you.
It is now Red's turn

caird coinheringaahing

Wow

user58

WTH

caird coinheringaahing

20:54

That was fast

Rubiksmoose

Yikes lol

user58

....oookkaaaay?

Oops, sorry, @Rubiks, forgot I wasn't playing alone

DJMcMayhem

I look away for one second...

Rubiksmoose

I switch tabs for one second ;)

DJMcMayhem

Ninja'd lol

Rubiksmoose

20:54

@user58 No worries at all. I would have backed that 100%

user58

In any case, I assume WAKE, FACE, BELL, BUTTON were intended

Rubiksmoose

@user58 Yup those look good to me. Not sure what for the 5th

user58

...unless John forgot what color he was SMing for...

Rubiksmoose

@user58 I hope not!

John Dvorak

@PiIsNot3 poke

PiIsNot3

21:01

Red: Race (2)

DJMcMayhem

PISTOL and STADIUM

caird coinheringaahing

hmm

Yeah I like those

DJMcMayhem

Maybe SHOT, but I like PISTOL more.

Or possibly BELL?

STADIUM > PISTOL > SHOT > BELL

@cairdcoinheringaahing Poke

caird coinheringaahing

Whoops, I was in the wrong room :P

@DJMcMayhem Agreed

DJMcMayhem

Going for it

user58

21:06

caird you need to sleep

DJMcMayhem

STADIUM

Shiro

STADIUM is Red

DJMcMayhem

PISTOL

Shiro

PISTOL is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn

DJMcMayhem

Hmm

user58

21:07

...okay we still have a chance?

Rubiksmoose

[cracks knuckles] let's do this.

caird coinheringaahing

@user58 I need to stop trying to watch a movie, play with my dog and play Codenames at the same time :P

John Dvorak

blue: Soviet(unlimited)

caird coinheringaahing

In Mother Russia, words guess you :P

Rubiksmoose

I wonder about BLOCK. I think it is actually spelled BLOC but that could be a clever clue.

user58

21:09

*shrug* I... don't know much about Russia, and less about the USSR.

Rubiksmoose

Why not try out some of our alarm clock clues eh?

user58

we could do that

WAKE > BELL > FACE > BUTTON

Rubiksmoose

WAKE > BELL > FACE > BUTTON ?

dang alright then

user58

going for it

Rubiksmoose

I guess we agree XD

user58

21:10

WAKE

Shiro

WAKE is Blue

user58

BELL

Shiro

BELL is Blue

Rubiksmoose

oh look a blue tile!

user58

FACE

Shiro

21:11

FACE is Blue

user58

!board

Shiro

user58

Isn't a STAR a Soviet symbol, now that I think of it?

Rubiksmoose

It is!

caird coinheringaahing

@user58 Stars and Stripes was the common term for the Soviet Flag, if I remember my history well

user58

21:13

...and my geography's rusty, but is part of it in Europe? I didn't think so, but could be

caird coinheringaahing

Just like July 4 is well known as the founding day of the USSR

Rubiksmoose

@user58 I was going to ask you the same thing. I'm awful at geography.

user58

welp then

caird coinheringaahing

Laughs in British

DJMcMayhem

@cairdcoinheringaahing Oh, uh yeah that

Rubiksmoose

21:14

OH, ARM

for clock

user58

ah, good catch

Rubiksmoose

That'd be the 5th clue

user58

STAR > ARM > BUTTON > EUROPE

Rubiksmoose

BLOCK is still on my radar, let's hold after button if we're still good

user58

...wait, how many did we get for "alarm clock"? Three?

*goes back to check*

Rubiksmoose

21:15

yup 3

user58

Yep. So I stick with my order.

Rubiksmoose

Agreed, but hold on Europe right?

user58

alright, we'll put it on the back burner

Rubiksmoose

Just for the moment at least

user58

So going to go for STAR, ARM, and BUTTON

Rubiksmoose

21:17

yup

user58

STAR

Shiro

STAR is Blue

user58

ARM

Shiro

ARM is Red
What were you thinking?
It is now Red's turn

user58

wack

caird coinheringaahing

21:17

Ooh

DJMcMayhem

@cairdcoinheringaahing I wonder if the clue was "arms race"

Rubiksmoose

:|

caird coinheringaahing

That would make sense

Guess I really don't remember my history well

Rubiksmoose

@DJMcMayhem Now that you say that, I remember that I did think of that right away for your clue. Oops.

Be interesting to see if that is what it was.

user58

This seems like a rough board for John, at least

DJMcMayhem

21:19

Lol

Rubiksmoose

@user58 Indeed it does.

If it wasn't, we're doing our best to make it rough for him ;)

user58

@Rubiksmoose STRIKE

"when the clock strikes eight"

might be tenuous though

Rubiksmoose

@user58 ohhhhhhhhh. That makes sense. I had looked at it and though of a hammer striking the bell on the alarm clock and thought it was too much of a stretch/better options.

Alarm clock could be a box if we're talking about modern ones. Kind of weird to pair that with BELL though.

PiIsNot3

Red: Beef (3)

caird coinheringaahing

But where is it? :P

DJMcMayhem

21:24

It's what's for dinner...

PLATE

PASTE?

caird coinheringaahing

I see Marble and Plate

DJMcMayhem

And yeah, I was thinking of marble too

caird coinheringaahing

Should we go for those?

DJMcMayhem

I think so PLATE > MARBLE > PASTE

caird coinheringaahing

Not sure about Paste

DJMcMayhem

21:26

We can start with PLATE and MARBLE

Oh wait, it might be DICE?

I normally thinking of dicing vegetables, not meat

Avi

Hi Avi, you'll be joining team red!

DJMcMayhem

@cairdcoinheringaahing poke

Avi

21:31

hallo frends

don't you have a fight with someone

if you have a beef with them

DJMcMayhem

True

What word do you think that suggests?

Avi

maybe strike/shot

caird coinheringaahing

I am here

Damn movie, being interesting :/

DJMcMayhem

I think that's a stretch. And blue is probably guessing strike next turn

Avi

fair enough

caird coinheringaahing

21:32

I like going for Plate and Marble, then choosing a third

Avi

plate, marble, shot?

DJMcMayhem

I really don't think it's shot

PLATE

Shiro

PLATE is Red

DJMcMayhem

MARBLE

Shiro

MARBLE is Red

user58

21:34

!board

Shiro

DJMcMayhem

I'm still leaning more towards paste than anything else

caird coinheringaahing

Not a fan of strike or short

Avi

that sounds very unappetizing, but we can go with paste

caird coinheringaahing

Dice or Paste are my thoughts

Avi

21:35

oh, diced for sure

uhhh...?

user58

!starttimer

DJMcMayhem

I don't think you normally dice beef, but I can still see it as a possibility since you could put diced vegetables in or something

caird coinheringaahing

I'm good with either, but I'm good to be a final vote if you two can't decide

DJMcMayhem

But I think PASTE still

PiIsNot3

Countdown clock music

Avi

21:37

Diced beef is a dish

caird coinheringaahing

@DJMcMayhem Steak tartare has diced beef IIRC

user58

@PiIsNot3 that is how the hourglass is supposed to work right

DJMcMayhem

OK, well we could do either one

Avi

tick tock

DJMcMayhem

DICE

Shiro

21:38

DICE is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn

caird coinheringaahing

Here's hoping Blue screw up

Avi

strange, maybe he missed it?

John Dvorak

blue: Crate(0)

Rubiksmoose

alright well not BOX

user58

...it's not BOX.

caird coinheringaahing

21:39

@Avi It wasn't immediately obvious tbf

user58

EUROPE > BUTTON > STRIKE

Can probably rule out ORANGE as well.

Rubiksmoose

Yeah go for it.

user58

EUROPE

Shiro

EUROPE is Blue

user58

BUTTON

Shiro

21:40

BUTTON is Blue

user58

STRIKE

Shiro

STRIKE is Blue

user58

!board

whew

Shiro

Rubiksmoose

Well then.

Avi

21:41

;-;

Rubiksmoose

Is my soviet BLOCK theory worth trying?

user58

Is that ruled out by "crate" or no?

caird coinheringaahing

In Minecraft, Crates are blocks

Rubiksmoose

oh good point. It might be!

Avi

There are no crates in vanilla, traitor!

caird coinheringaahing

21:42

Then again, so is everything

Avi

mods are for chickens

caird coinheringaahing

@Avi No, there are chickens in vanilla

Avi

or people who have played the original until they've sucked all possible enjoyment out of it :P

Rubiksmoose

Also there is Butcher's block which can be used for meat. Kind of a stretch but could be BLUE's clue if PASTE isn't

Avi

@cairdcoinheringaahing reminds me of the time I suffocated to death in my chicken farm because of entity cramming damage lol

user58

21:43

We've got BLOCK - possibly out because of "crate". ORANGE - probably out. SPIKE - ?? PASTE - possibly red. SHOT - possibly red. BOX - out. PIPE - ?? TEACHER - ???

caird coinheringaahing

> reminds me of the time I suffocated to death in my chicken farm

Out of context quote of the day

user58

...could SPIKE be "Soviet"? Sickle?

Rubiksmoose

I don't think there's anything else clearly Soviet related so maybe we're just on our own for the last one?

hmmm maybe

user58

...unlikely, though.

Avi

inb6 assassin

Rubiksmoose

21:45

I'm not sure CRATE would eliminate BLOCK on second thought. BLOCKS are generally solid, not containers. CUBE would have been a better one to eliminate both.

user58

@Avi At this point, anything that's not the correct word is tantamount to the assassin.

Avi

exactly ;)

would only be inb4 assassin if you went box

user58

@Rubiksmoose That's true... although why specifically crate and not, say, "cardboard" if the only intent was to rule out BOX?

Rubiksmoose

@user58 Fair point. The logic swings both ways.

Though cardboard is less obvious of a clue I think.

Anyways, I don't see anything that I like.

user58

Neither do I, and half the words can be associated with "beef".

Rubiksmoose

21:48

Besides BLOCK which at this point is iffy and maybe silly.

user58

Welp.

So what are we ruling out?

Rubiksmoose

I'd say rule out PASTE, SHOT

,BOX

user58

Possibly ORANGE as well, just because of "crate"

Rubiksmoose

Sure, that makes sense. Let's get rid of that too.

user58

So we're left with SPIKE, PIPE, and TEACHER... and BLOCK.

Rubiksmoose

21:50

sigh

Avi

!flip flip flip coin coin coin

user58

google roll a d4

Rubiksmoose

I did in RPG chat

it was 4 XD

user58

Well then.

Rubiksmoose

Should we roll with it?

user58

21:52

...I'm half-tempted to just say go with BLOCK because that's the only other thing we had mentioned.

Rubiksmoose

And honestly Soviet Bloc(k) is an actual term. Though a homonym which may be unintentional spelling mistake.

user58

I don't think John would have given a (0) if we hadn't had all the other ones when the other team has 1 word left.

...unless we were about to guess the assassin, of course.

...I'm talking myself into this.

Rubiksmoose

lol

I'm good to go with BLOCK just because its literally the only one I have any feeling about.

user58

Alright. DON'T HIT ME JOHN

Go for it.

Rubiksmoose

BLOCK

We didn’t have a game yesterday, so let’s make this a good one!

RED: PiIsNot3, caird coinheringaahing, DJMcMayhem
BLUE: John Dvorak, user58, Rubiksmoose
RED goes first!

Seed: 584158396
Red: ARM, MARBLE, KIWI, RABBIT, STADIUM, PLATE, PASTE, TIME, BAT
Blue: EUROPE, STAR, STRIKE, FACE, BUTTON, BLOCK, BELL, WAKE
Yellow: ORANGE, PISTOL, DICE, SPIKE, PIPE, BOX, SHOT
Black: TEACHER

I seem to have all the animals: KIWI, RABBIT, BAT. Don’t know if that will hit TEACHER though…
I want “Pitcher” to work for ARM + STADIUM + PLATE, but not when STRIKE is still on the board.

user58

*whew*

21:56

Woohoo!

It was Paste :/

OTS took its time this time but it did load
Starting second

Blue words: Europe, Star, Strike, Face, Button, Block, Bell, Wake
Black: Teacher

Strike/Bell/Wake is Gong. Bat/R and Plate/R mildly risky. Not sure Bell, Wake will connect, and Bell doesn't really fit at all.
Alarm clock: Wake, Button, Face, Bell, maybe Strike. Issue: Time/R
Blue - Alarm Clock = Europe, Star, Block
"Soviet bloc" is a thing (of the past, thankfully). They used a star on their flag and they were at least part-way in Europe. None of the red should fit except maaybe Time. Teacher doesn't fit. A tenuous conn…

PiIsNot3

AVIIIIIIII!!!!!!!

Avi

hi

who asked you to miss connections

<3

John Dvorak

I suppose "OTS" would have been a valid clue for Time?

caird coinheringaahing

21:58

Every game has one guesser who is convincingly wrong :P

PiIsNot3

@Avi No, my beef is that you steered them away from a connection they had already made

And was right

Avi

my beef is that you think people eat beef paste

which they don't

they eat diced beef

we're civilized around these parts

caird coinheringaahing

Spam is beef paste, right?

PiIsNot3

How do you think they make pho then?

DJMcMayhem

John Dvorak

21:58

What else is inside a hamburger?

Avi

that's like

processed meat

forget the name for it, but it's not paste

certainly looks like it though

PiIsNot3

@Avi ...I refuse to play with you from now on

DJMcMayhem

It's literally called "beef paste"

Avi

@PiIsNot3 That was literally 1 game

caird coinheringaahing
