El'endia Starman

00:35

...I really want to try [ab]using Shiro's functionality to see if I can get some crazy situations to happen.

Like, can I be an SM and then join the other team?

Can a new game be started with only two players?

PiIsNot3

Sorry guys, I had something important to take care of

@DJMcMayhem Thanks for filling in for me :)

DJMcMayhem

Just cause I won? :P

PiIsNot3

Nah, even if you lost I would’ve been fine with it

It was a tough final word to guess anyway, so I would’ve understood if you couldn’t get jt

Anyway, thanks for the games! Have to go though

woohoo!

caird coinheringaahing

This is the most Codenames I've played in years

ElizB

I need to brush up on my spymastering because me and @El'endiaStarman are hosting a game night saturday night and we're planning on doing Codenames!

John Dvorak

18:15

Doesn't that mean you should both be SMing this game?

El'endia Starman

No, I'm at work. :)

.......... (don't tell my boss)

ElizB

yeah, I'm home and he's at the office

caird coinheringaahing

18:39

So no game?

ElizB

we still have enough players

one spymaster, one guesser on each team

@Khuldraesethna'Barya your wave still stand?

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

@ElizB o\ for now. I'll be back in an hour and a half.

ElizB

i have to go teach, probably be out ~3pm to 6pm- that's in an hour so can't play. :/ that's alright we can try for later

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

21:24

Took longer than I expected. The quiz wasn't at the start of the lecture :(

Question: who does the starring for the team messages? Is it Shiro or a room owner?

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

It's Shiro

PiIsNot3

Seems like Shiro doesn't like the Red team then...

!teams

Shiro

RED team: El'endia Starman, Khuldraeseth na'Barya, caird coinheringaahing

El'endia Starman

Red first, eh? Okay...

PiIsNot3

Be back in a few

caird coinheringaahing

21:43

Those are some long names

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Shiro's really weird. I'm trying to figure ChatExchange out to fix it. Watch this.

Usually she'll edit previous messages in addition to sending new ones.

El'endia Starman

Red: BUD (2)

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Thinkin' DOG and AIR

Never did see that movie (it is a movie, right?)

PiIsNot3

@cairdcoinheringaahing pokey pokes

caird coinheringaahing

Bud is a beer

Although Air and Dog work better than anything else

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

21:57

AIR

Shiro

AIR is Red

John Dvorak

still thinking...

Blue: Mobile version(2)

msh210

!board

Shiro

caird coinheringaahing

Scuba's mobile version would be awesome

msh210

light, as in a light version of a Web site

for mobile devices

user58

22:08

Sounds good to me

PiIsNot3

LIGHT is good for me too, yeah

msh210

microscopes come in mobile (portable) and non-mobile versions

PiIsNot3

Oh, a PORT can be a mobile version of a video game

msh210

I suppose robots do too, though

user58

*shrugs* I've got nothing.

msh210

22:09

ah yes, port, excellent

I prefer port to light

user58

I don't really have a preference.

msh210

Pi?

PiIsNot3

I think PORT > LIGHT for me

msh210

port

Shiro

PORT is Blue

msh210

22:12

light?

PiIsNot3

Hmm I'll take a second look

user58

I think we should go for it. I don't see anything better.

msh210

yeah me too

PiIsNot3

Sorry I'm being distracted, gimme another minute

user58

@PII?

*snoring*

PiIsNot3

22:20

Maybe BILL because you can have a digital version of it rather than a print version?

user58

That's... a real stretch.

msh210

@user58 yeah

especially because both are mobile

PiIsNot3

I kinda like it better than LIGHT though since light can apply to non-mobile things too

msh210

true

PiIsNot3

Also wouldn't PORT + LIGHT be clued differently?

Something like "Pier"?

msh210

22:23

how? can't do lighthouse

user58

How does "pier" clue LIGHT?

!board

Shiro

user58

LIGHT (or LITE) is rather common for mobile versions of things (e.g. Facebook Lite).

PiIsNot3

Hmm OK, I'm not super confident playing any other of the words either

I'm fine with LIGHT then, but if it doesn't work then BILL will probably be my next up

msh210

We could pass. I like light for this though

PiIsNot3

22:24

(Also sorry for the delays, I was on a phone call)

It's a 2, I'm pretty sure the words are fairly obvious

msh210

Real life is no excuse. Chat is much more important

user58

Would prefer guessing over passing

msh210

So light, decided?

PiIsNot3

Yep, let's try it out

user58

LIGHT

Shiro

22:26

LIGHT is Blue

PiIsNot3

Niiiice

[pass]

Shiro

El'endia Starman

Red: WATER (6)

caird coinheringaahing

Woah

PiIsNot3

Whaaaa?

caird coinheringaahing

22:27

Stream and Scuba Diver for sure

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Agreed.

caird coinheringaahing

STREAM

Shiro

STREAM is Red

caird coinheringaahing

SCUBA DIVER

Shiro

SCUBA DIVER is Red

caird coinheringaahing

22:28

Although last time I got a Water clue, the assassin was Fall :/

!board

Shiro

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

I could see MUG.

user58

@cairdcoinheringaahing In my defense, I... don't really have a defense.

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

BOARD as well

caird coinheringaahing

Mug maybe?

Agreed with Board

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

22:30

Water -> water buffalo -> Buffalo Bills -> BILL

caird coinheringaahing

That's rather tenuous

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Too tenuous

caird coinheringaahing

You ok with Mug?

BOARD

Shiro

BOARD is Red

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

I've heard of a dry spell. Is there a corresponding wet spell?

Okay with MUG.

caird coinheringaahing

22:32

MUG

Shiro

MUG is Red

user58

!board

caird coinheringaahing

@Khuldraesethna'Barya Yeah, I think so

Shiro

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Also Aquaman to consider

caird coinheringaahing

22:33

So, I don't see anything else very obvious

The options are ~~Aquaman~~ Superhero, Spell?

Anything ese?

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

SLIP, maybe.

Though SLIP, STREAM, AIR could have been clued easily by "wake" or something without worrying about PORT

caird coinheringaahing

For me, Superhero > Spell > Slip

@Khuldraesethna'Barya Yeah, but a 6 clue

PiIsNot3

!who

Shiro

Red currently has 3 guesses remaining.

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

A 6 clue indeed. I like that ordering.

caird coinheringaahing

22:36

SUPERHERO

Shiro

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

caird coinheringaahing

Ah well

PiIsNot3

Y'all got 4 in one turn. That's incredible, especially this early in the game

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

A success nevertheless

msh210

brb

John Dvorak

22:38

Blue: Machine gun (3)

PiIsNot3

Machine guns have a STOCK of bullets

msh210

carried on a belt

PiIsNot3

BELT also for the bullets that are fed into it?

msh210

I don't like stock -- that connection is too tenuous, and I think El'endia clued it

user58

Isn't a STOCK a part of the gun?

msh210

22:40

oh that's true

PiIsNot3

@msh210 There's plenty of possible "Water" words on the board though

caird coinheringaahing

Little known fact: Jupiter is made entirely of machine guns

msh210

@PiIsNot3 yeah but that one seems best to me -- though obviously not to the Red guessers

PiIsNot3

For the last one, maybe CIRCLE? Because the barrel revolves around

@msh210 I thought a different word was more likely, but I'll withhold that info for later

msh210

I assume ninjas don't carry machinen guns?

@PiIsNot3 :-)

user58

22:41

MICROSCOPE, probably.

PiIsNot3

@user58 What's the connection there?

msh210

@user58 how's that?

user58

It's dafka machine gun, not just "gun č, so the" machine "has to be important.

PiIsNot3

In that case, wouldn't ROBOT be a better fit?

user58

Possible.

msh210

22:42

davka = specifically

for the uninitiated

El'endia Starman

@msh210 Appreciated!

PiIsNot3

@msh210 I can use my context clues, thank you very much :)

msh210

@user58 hence belt... most aren't carried on one, are they?

@PiIsNot3 :-)

El'endia Starman

@PiIsNot3 I did too but I mentally inserted a particular swear word instead, so...

PiIsNot3

Where are machine guns primarily manufactured? Europe?

user58

22:44

I see large guns generally on shoulder straps, not belts, so...

msh210

@PiIsNot3 haven't the foggiest

@user58 me too, aren't those belts?

PiIsNot3

Let's at least play one word first

user58

@PiIsNot3 obviously the US :P

PiIsNot3

Do we all agree on STOCK?

user58

@msh210 depends on your definition of "belt"

msh210

22:45

@user58 true

user58

@PiIsNot3 I say go for it

msh210

@PiIsNot3 I'm worried about it

but I seem to outvoted

be*. And I'm not super worried.

PiIsNot3

OK, let's see what happens...

STOCK

Shiro

STOCK is Blue

PiIsNot3

Noice

msh210

22:45

whew

user58

ROBOT > BELT > MICROSCOPE

PiIsNot3

I still like CIRCLE because machine guns revolve around, which is I think a unique aspect of it that differentiates it from other guns

msh210

robot could wield a machine gun

PiIsNot3

ROBOT > BELT ~ CIRCLE for me atm

Maybe MICROSCOPE if none of those turn out well, but only last resort

user58

@PiIsNot3 I don't actually know much about how machine guns work

msh210

22:47

@user58 nor I

PiIsNot3

Or actually no, I'm thinking about miniguns

Yeah, maybe BELT then over CIRCLE

msh210

but they're probably expensive, so BILL? :-)

PiIsNot3

@msh210 "It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon... for 12 seconds"

msh210

I saw let's do robot

PiIsNot3

ROBOT is probably good

msh210

22:48

@PiIsNot3 when I can Google again, I'll have to find what you're quoting, I've no idea

PiIsNot3

Though I don't know if our SM intended "Machine" and "Gun" separately or just the entire thing

@msh210 Same reason why I know what a minigun is :)

Any objections to trying ROBOT?

OK, I'll play it then...

ROBOT

Shiro

ROBOT is Blue

msh210

one more

PiIsNot3

Phew phew phew phew phew

msh210

@PiIsNot3 no, that's pew pew pew pew pew

PiIsNot3

22:51

@msh210 No, that's deficient deficient deficient deficient deficient

Anyway, I think BELT is our best shot (no pun intended) at this point

!board

Shiro

msh210

I'm tending to agree the shoulder strap isn't a belt, on nth thought.

But whatever feeds the ammo in probably is, right?

PiIsNot3

@msh210 Yeah, that's the possibility I was considering

And MICROSCOPE doesn't seem very likely for "Machine" imo

msh210

and if machine & gun are separate, belt is good too, since there's "gun belt" and various belts in various machines

@PiIsNot3 right

PiIsNot3

@user58 Thoughts? Should we play BELT?

OK, 58's asleep, but I think BELT is OK

I'm gonna play BELT, let's see...

BELT

Shiro

22:55

BELT is Blue

PiIsNot3

Red: PINK (2)

msh210

@El'endiaStarman make up your mind

El'endia Starman

22:56

<_<

caird coinheringaahing

Rose and Slip

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

I like ROSE. Less sold on SLIP.

caird coinheringaahing

Pink Slip is a notice that you've been fired IIRC

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Oh

I was thinking the garment

heh

caird coinheringaahing

ROSE

Shiro

22:58

ROSE is Red

caird coinheringaahing

Any objection to Slip then?

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

None

caird coinheringaahing

SLIP

Shiro

SLIP is Red

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Both could have been for water as well, but El'endia wouldn't do that. Let's win this.

caird coinheringaahing

22:59

I think Slip would have been the fifth water clue

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Yep
