Screw it, sorry if I'm wrong John

BOLT

Shiro

BOLT is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn

caird coinheringaahing

Ah well

Avi

Red: Twin Gardens (5)

PiIsNot3

...I have no idea what those are

Also is that a valid clue even?

user58

*shrugs* Never heard of it...

caird coinheringaahing

23:04

IIRC its an actual thing

DJMcMayhem

@PiIsNot3 I'm not playing, so I googled it, and it does appear to be a real name of a real thing

PiIsNot3

OK, thanks for the confirmation

So there’s probably plenty of overlap with “Double” cause of “Twin”

Maybe we’re supposed to separate “Twin” and “Gardens”? That would be mildly illegal, but given that I don’t know what the whole thing means, this is probably my best shot

Rubiksmoose

hmmm

PiIsNot3

OLIVE, CARROT, and FENCE relate to gardens

ORANGE could too

caird coinheringaahing

@PiIsNot3 You can do anything you want with the clue :P The SM may not have intended it, but you can guess on the number of times the letter a appears if you want

John Dvorak

23:08

using parts of a clue on their own is quite common...

PiIsNot3

I guess, yeah, I’ve done it before as SM

Rubiksmoose

oh wow, this is for all the clues.

I see.

PiIsNot3

Im pretty sure it was supposed to be unlimited, but we’ll see

Cause we’re still missing one “Play” and three “Double”s

Or maybe two “Play”s, idk

John Dvorak

No idea what twin gardens are btw

Rubiksmoose

Or 0 PLAYS

PiIsNot3

23:10

Dont really like CHECK for “Play” though...

Rubiksmoose

PLAY (3) = COURT + OPERA + CHECK?

PiIsNot3

Cause there’s a bunch of better options than thet

Rubiksmoose

Sure.

I'm inclined to go with FENCE first

Otherwise the clue would have been FOOD or PRODUCE right?

PiIsNot3

I guess we can try for garden-y words first

And yeah, “Food” would’ve been more appropriate for OLIVE + CARROT + ORANGE

Rubiksmoose

But what the heck would have been the overlap with DOUBLE

PiIsNot3

23:12

Maybe the “Twin” provides a clue?

Rubiksmoose

It must.

PiIsNot3

That would discount SOCK IMO but put STAR on the ledger

Cause of binary systems

caird coinheringaahing

I have to go, so I'm depending on John to win this for us :P \o

!leave

Shiro

BLUE: user58, John Dvorak

PiIsNot3

See ya!

Rubiksmoose

23:13

Well I have to go very soon here.

I'm kind of at a loss.

!board

PiIsNot3

What were our guesses for “Double”?

Shiro

Rubiksmoose

CHECK ~ AGENT > BACK > SOCK > BILL

You can double BILL someone

and it works for PLAY

PiIsNot3

OK, we can put BILL on the list then

So currently FENCE > BILL, then what?

Rubiksmoose

I'm inclined to go with BILL > FENCE actually.

Then....

PiIsNot3

23:16

OK, doesn’t really matter though if we can’t find theee more

Rubiksmoose

right

CARROT is more gardeny than OLIVES

PiIsNot3

I’m thinking STAR for “Double” and “Twin”, perhaps even “Play” though BILL probably covers that

@Rubiksmoose Ever heard of Olive Garden?

Rubiksmoose

Oh yeah, well there is that.

PiIsNot3

So probably OLIVE > all other foods on the board

Shiro

23:18

Hi El'endia Starman, you'll be joining team blue!

BLUE: user58, John Dvorak, El'endia Starman

PiIsNot3

Great, like Blue needs any more help :P

Rubiksmoose

lol

DJMcMayhem

I can join soon

El'endia Starman

Perfect winning strategy: join the winning team. ;)

Rubiksmoose

alright let's see if our top two are even viable. If we're wrong with those, there's no point in debating the others right?

PiIsNot3

23:19

Im gonna day BILL ~ FENCE > OLIVE ~ STAR atm

Rubiksmoose

Let's try for BILL and FENCE

PiIsNot3

OK, you play, I’m on mobile

John Dvorak

Ocean(2) => Octopus, Triangle
Smartly(3) => Genius, Tie, ?

Rubiksmoose

BILL

Shiro

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

Rubiksmoose

23:19

LOL

Shiro

PiIsNot3

..Never mind then

El'endia Starman

@cairdcoinheringaahing Minecraft? Minecraft.

Rubiksmoose

Alright well I have to bail.

user58

Blue: George Washington (2)

El'endia Starman

23:21

REVOLUTION. EMBASSY?

John Dvorak

REVOLUTION

Shiro

REVOLUTION is Blue

John Dvorak

Which side of the coin is he on?

El'endia Starman

Or STAR?

Heads.

Rubiksmoose

o\

El'endia Starman

23:22

Tails has the eagle.

PiIsNot3

@Rubiksmoose See ya!

John Dvorak

not the Back side then

Was he a smuggler or did he shoot a buck?

DJMcMayhem

@JohnDvorak Heads has the heads

John Dvorak

gotcha

El'endia Starman

There might be a legend related to OLIVE (tree)?

John Dvorak

23:23

Olive is probably red

El'endia Starman

@DJMcMayhem ...I cannot believe I never realized that.

PiIsNot3

Technically speaking, it’s called the obverse side

DJMcMayhem

Lol

El'endia Starman

I don't think Washington was ever a smuggler and nothing comes to mind regarding shooting a buck.

John Dvorak

Embassy and Star then?

El'endia Starman

23:25

Oh hey, his face is on the $1 bill!

A.k.a. a buck!

John Dvorak

Oh, interesting

El'endia Starman

Ever heard phrases like "twenty bucks"?

John Dvorak

that'd be a strong connection

I know of bucks = money, but I didn't know GW was on $1s

El'endia Starman

gotcha

So, I'd advocate for playing BUCK.

John Dvorak

BUCK

Shiro

23:26

BUCK is Blue

John Dvorak

nice

El'endia Starman

Anything that'll allow us to get the last blue word?

John Dvorak

Let me check if Shot was donated after Launch got clued

Yep

we have a Launch pending

user58

!board

John Dvorak

and perhaps Smartly

Shiro

23:28

John Dvorak

Star was the next suggestion for Launch

Let's go for Star then

El'endia Starman

Sounds good.

John Dvorak

STAR

Shiro

STAR is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn

El'endia Starman

ah, guess not :P

Avi

23:30

Red: Ovalloid (0)

John Dvorak

Let's hope Red can't guess five words in one go

PiIsNot3

Ok, here goes...

I’m just gonna guess things that we’ve said

FENCE

Shiro

FENCE is Red

PiIsNot3

BACK

Shiro

BACK is Red

PiIsNot3

23:32

CARROT

Shiro

CARROT is Red

PiIsNot3

SOCK

Shiro

SOCK is Red

PiIsNot3

!board

Shiro

PiIsNot3

23:32

Hmm, I’m gonna be grasping here now...

Are the Twin Gardens an embassy?

Or maybe it’s a mythological reference and thus CENTAUR makes sense?

I know it’s definitely not OLIVE or ORANGE cause of the “Ovalloid” clue (which should just be “Ovoid” btw)

And it’s probably not TEACHER or SMUGGLER since I think only “smartly” is left for Blue and both of them fit

user58

*yawns*

DJMcMayhem

I want to play soon

user58

...seriously this game is approaching an hour and a half

and it's a quarter to 2 and I'm ready to sleep

El'endia Starman

23:47

I can defect to Red and guess something...? :P

user58

*pokes @PiIsNot3 with a sharp stick*

El'endia Starman

Or DJ can join red and do the same thing.

Avi

spooky mystery music plays

DJMcMayhem

I could. Should I?

user58

Pi seems to be MIA

DJMcMayhem

Avi

DJMcMayhem

Yay!

El'endia Starman

DJMcMayhem

I... win?

Avi

user58

!finalboard

Shiro

user58

204780026

TEACHER, BUCK, REVOLUTION, SHOT, TIE, TRIANGLE, GENIUS, OCTOPUS, MISSILE.

MISSILE + REVOLUTION + SHOT = "war". Will hit yellow STAR, but that's an acceptable hit.

"ocean" - OCTOPUS and TRIANGLE. Might as well start with that.

(gives "ocean" clue)

OCTOPUS down. TRIANGLE down.

Remaining words: TEACHER, BUCK, REVOLUTION, SHOT, TIE, GENIUS, MISSILE.

SHOT donated.

Remaining words: TEACHER, BUCK, REVOLUTION, TIE, GENIUS, MISSILE.

"smartly dressed" would clue TIE, TEACHER, and GENIUS, hopefully. The question is if it's allowed. I think so, but I'll double-check.

DJMcMayhem

@user58 You should go get some sleep now :P

user58

i should

Avi

To be fair, even I don’t know what Twin Gardens is, I just know that it exists

Centaurs have twin pairs of legs - and double the legs of a normal human

user58

I don't know how y'all decided OPERA was better than TEACHER for "smartly", though.

In any case, night. \o

Avi

23:54

Night \o

Rubiksmoose

@DJMcMayhem NICE!
