John Dvorak

Blue: Haematology(3)

DJMcMayhem

21:17

Oh boy

John, your words are too complex for me

@PiIsNot3 Any idea what that means?

El'endia Starman

I do. Too bad I'm not on your team. ;)

ElizB

I'll join when I get home

PiIsNot3

Hmm, interesting clue

“Hema” means related to iron?

DJMcMayhem

That was a guess I had. Study of blood?

PiIsNot3

Or maybe related to blood?

The congenital disease is called hemophilia right?

DJMcMayhem

21:22

No idea

I know "Hemoglobin" is something in blood

But the spelling is different enough from "haema" that I'm not sure if they're related

PiIsNot3

If we are dealing with blood, then what words can relate to it?

@DJMcMayhem I think that’s just a variant

El'endia Starman

@PiIsNot3 I don't think it's spelled like that because I think that word literally means "lover of blood".

DJMcMayhem

At any rate, cell/microscope/drop are my first guesses

PiIsNot3

CELL and DROP first for me

DJMcMayhem

COPPER? Isn't blood supposed to taste like copper?

I'm good starting with CELL and DROP

PiIsNot3

21:24

Oh, and some animals have copper-based hemoglobin instead of iron

DJMcMayhem

Really? TIL

PiIsNot3

Like the horseshoe crab I believe

Or maybe that’s a different metal, idk

DJMcMayhem

CELL

Shiro

CELL is Blue

DJMcMayhem

DROP

Shiro

21:25

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

PiIsNot3

Ouchies

DJMcMayhem

Shoot

El'endia Starman

Many years ago, for a story I'm working on, I looked up all the different possible colors of blood. If memory serves, they were red, blue, green, yellow, and one more (black?).

oof

DJMcMayhem

@PiIsNot3 I think for next round MICROSCOPE > COPPER

PiIsNot3

@El'endiaStarman Green blood means copper I believe

@DJMcMayhem We’ll see what Red does first

caird coinheringaahing

21:26

@El'endiaStarman So a game of codenames + Green?

DJMcMayhem

Or maybe, glass even?

El'endia Starman

@cairdcoinheringaahing hahaha

DJMcMayhem

GREEN is Red

caird coinheringaahing

Red: Straight (2)

El'endia Starman

LINE is obvious and a RULER is a straightedge.

LINE

Question: does listening to music while playing count as research?

DJMcMayhem

21:30

Nah, course not

El'endia Starman

I'm listening to music right now. :P

DJMcMayhem

Unless the clue was a musical artist and you were looking them up

El'endia Starman

Granted, most of it doesn't have lyrics...

DJMcMayhem

@El'endiaStarman Same, lol

PiIsNot3

I was wondering, maybe the music has lyrics that can help make connections in the game

caird coinheringaahing

21:31

Does watching TV count?

John Dvorak

blue: Thermometer(3)

PiIsNot3

@cairdcoinheringaahing Hmm that’s a harder one to judge

DJMcMayhem

@PiIsNot3 Maybe looking away from your monitor you might see an object that would help make a connection in the game

MERCURY of course

PiIsNot3

Id say probably not, unless it was a documentary or something

DJMcMayhem

GLASS probably

PiIsNot3

21:32

Yep, MERCURY and GLASS both work

DJMcMayhem

MERCURY

Shiro

MERCURY is Blue

DJMcMayhem

GLASS

Shiro

GLASS is Blue

DJMcMayhem

!board

Shiro

21:33

PiIsNot3

A thermometer measure change in temperature?

Or maybe we should find other scientific instruments, so MICROSCOPE

DJMcMayhem

@PiIsNot3 Just temperature I think

And I think MICROSCOPE was for HAEMAWHATEVER

El'endia Starman

lol

PiIsNot3

There could be clues overlaps though

El'endia Starman

@DJMcMayhem Depending on how poorly you make the thermometer, it could also measure air pressure.

And if you drop it off a building, you can measure how long it takes to hit the ground and thereby determine how high the building is.

PiIsNot3

21:36

Btw there’s nothing deterring us from MICROSCOPE and COPPER, so they should be safe-ish ie not Res or Black

Rubiksmoose

!join

Shiro

Hi Rubiksmoose, you'll be joining team red!

caird coinheringaahing

Technically, a thermometer is a speedometer for molecules

Shiro

RED: caird coinheringaahing, El'endia Starman, Rubiksmoose

El'endia Starman

@cairdcoinheringaahing Brilliant. (An average speedometer anyway.)

DJMcMayhem

21:36

@PiIsNot3 not blue or black well, we hope they're blue :P

Yeah, we've got two guesses left, we could go for those

PiIsNot3

@DJMcMayhem Oops, lol

Probably MICROSCOPE > COPPER, since microscopes are in the same category as thermometers

Or maybe the “Thermometer” word is GAS?

Since you can measure the temperature of gases with them

DJMcMayhem

Yeah, that's possible

PiIsNot3

Lets try our “Haemotology” words forst

DJMcMayhem

MICROSCOPE > GAS > COPPER IMO

But we can only guess 2

K, guessing MICROSCOPE

PiIsNot3

Both agree on MICROSCOPE...

DJMcMayhem

21:38

MICROSCOPE

Shiro

MICROSCOPE is Blue

PiIsNot3

Nice

DJMcMayhem

Sweet

Gas or copper?

PiIsNot3

MICROSCOPE could’ve been our remaining “Thermometer” word

So Id prefer COPPER over GAS

Plus again our SM hasn’t anti-clued COPPER

DJMcMayhem

COPPER

Shiro

21:40

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

PiIsNot3

Hmm, imma search hemotology after this game, we might be on the wrong track about it

Rubiksmoose

Alright team

El'endia Starman

yee

Rubiksmoose

@cairdcoinheringaahing (because I know you tend to get distracted ;) )

caird coinheringaahing

@Rubiksmoose Don't worry, I'm still here

Red: Horse-riding (2)

El'endia Starman

21:45

BACK, for sure.

CENTAUR?

BOOT for stirrups?

Rubiksmoose

Whip maybe?

El'endia Starman

Err, not stirrups, but whatever goes on the heel of a boot that you can use to prod horses to go faster/do things.

Rubiksmoose

Spurs

El'endia Starman

Yes, thank you.

Rubiksmoose

Well centaur has got to be in there right?

El'endia Starman

21:47

WHIP seems marginally plausible. I don't think people use whips from horseback. Ropes, yes, whips, no.

Rubiksmoose

oh BACK.

Yeah I agree WHIP is probably a long shot

Right now I think I'm CENTAUR > BACK > BOOT

El'endia Starman

I'd swap the first two but otherwise I agree.

Rubiksmoose

I'm fine starting with BACK and seeing how that goes. Shall we?

El'endia Starman

BACK

Shiro

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

El'endia Starman

21:49

whaaaat

Shiro

Rubiksmoose

well then.

PiIsNot3

Yay, we get our turn BACK :)

El'endia Starman

CENTAUR and BOOT next turn?

DJMcMayhem

lol

El'endia Starman

21:49

At least it wasn't the assassin...?

DJMcMayhem

@El'endiaStarman That would have been my top choice too

Rubiksmoose

Honestly, I wouldn't have thought of BACK if you hadn't mentioned it. Maybe our SM is in the same spot.

El'endia Starman

@DJMcMayhem "Am I making too many connections? No, it is the SM that's wrong." :P

DJMcMayhem

Ahahaha

Rubiksmoose

I'm probably going to have to leave soon, not that it really matters.

Maybe in 10ish.

John Dvorak

Blue: Nail(3)

ElizB

Hi ElizB, you'll be joining team red!

DJMcMayhem

Yep

Shiro

RED: caird coinheringaahing, El'endia Starman, Rubiksmoose, ElizB

PiIsNot3

21:53

SEAL means roughly the same thing as nail

DJMcMayhem

?

PiIsNot3

”Nail it shut” and “seal it up”

DJMcMayhem

HOOK is another good one

PiIsNot3

Shkjld we go for THUMB first?

DJMcMayhem

THUMB

Shiro

21:55

THUMB is Blue

PiIsNot3

HOOK as in “nail a left hook?”

DJMcMayhem

No, like you could hang things on a nail

AFK for 5 minutes

PiIsNot3

Tbh quite a few of these words work for “Nail”

E.g. a FIGHTER might nail a punch, you can nail a tire SWING to a tree, and you can nail the look of a SUIT

None of them seem better than HOOK though

El'endia Starman

@Shiro If you hit your thumb when aiming for a nail, then THUMB is Red.

PiIsNot3

Nails make a lot of RACKET when they’re being hammered in

Hmm I guess I’ll go with HOOK since DJ was pretty confident about it and I don’t see anything better

HOOK

Shiro

21:59

HOOK is Blue

PiIsNot3

OK, I don’t know what the remaining word could be, so might as well try “Hemotology” and “Thermometer” words

Rubiksmoose

I'm off all. o\

!leave

RED: caird coinheringaahing, El'endia Starman, ElizB

PiIsNot3

See ya!

El'endia Starman

:wave:

Rubiksmoose

22:01

Sorry to play and run lol

PiIsNot3

Maybe GAS relates to both previous clues? Since we can have gas exchange into blood, and gas has a temperature

ElizB

ooh me and hubby on the same team guessing! That's okay I can jump in for you :)

DJMcMayhem

Back

@Shiro Yay!

El'endia Starman

BACK is Yellow

DJMcMayhem

!board

Shiro

22:01

PiIsNot3

@DJMcMayhem do you see anything better than GAS for either “Hemo” or “Thermo”?

DJMcMayhem

I think GAS is for Thermo, not hemo

But I think GAS for thermo is pretty good, I don't think it makes that much of a difference

PiIsNot3

Then what could our remaining “Hemo” word be then?

DJMcMayhem

No idea

PiIsNot3

OK, you can play

DJMcMayhem

22:03

GAS

Shiro

GAS is Red
Seriously?
It is now Red's turn

El'endia Starman

:O

DJMcMayhem

Shoot

Shiro

PiIsNot3

...ah darn

DJMcMayhem

22:03

We've missed one for every clue so far

Not sure the third NAIL word

PiIsNot3

Im all out of ideas for “Hemo” and “Thermo” now

DJMcMayhem

@PiIsNot3 Maybe change?

PiIsNot3

It was a tenuous connection, but now it’s looking mroe likely

caird coinheringaahing

Red: Footwear (0)

ElizB

Okay so it's not boot.

El'endia Starman

22:05

nope

I'm thinking CENTAUR and WHIP now.

ElizB

want to try for centaur for the horse riding? I was thinking other words might be whip

maybe fighter or trip but they're really a stretch

El'endia Starman

CENTAUR

Shiro

CENTAUR is Red

El'endia Starman

WHIP

Shiro

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

El'endia Starman

22:06

bah

Shiro

ElizB

aww

PiIsNot3

Ok still in this :)

ElizB

racket? Fighter? Trip? Millionare? are all potential connections to horse riding

DJMcMayhem

Ugh, I'm starting to get sick (or it's allergies, not sure) so my nose is stuffed, and every time I breath out, my nose whistles. :(

PiIsNot3

22:09

@DJMcMayhem Oh I hate when that happens to me

El'endia Starman

@ElizB Yeah I would pick TRIP next. Must be a terrible board for our SM if we're having this much trouble.

ElizB

@DJMcMayhem I have a sore throat. I can relate

PiIsNot3

Also hate it when one side is clear but the other is clogged up, so you're trying desperately to unclog that other side

Only to find that the side that was originally clear has clogged up

ElizB

@PiIsNot3 yes I hate that too

John Dvorak

Blue: Women's fashion(2)

DJMcMayhem

22:10

You know what's even worse? Phlegm. My favorite

PiIsNot3

"Women's"?

BOOT and SUIT are fashion items

DJMcMayhem

@PiIsNot3 I suspect it's not suit because otherwise it wouldn't be "women's" specifically

PiIsNot3

Hey, women can wear suits! Don't be discriminatory!

But yeah, I wonder why specifically "women's", there only appear to be two clothing related items on the board right now

ElizB

@PiIsNot3 yup that's right! I look good in suits!

DJMcMayhem

Not saying they can't. But if it was really "boot" and "suit", wouldn't the clue just be "fashion"

PiIsNot3

22:12

What other definitions of "fashion" are there?

Besides "attire"

DJMcMayhem

Manner

PiIsNot3

Women act like they're MILLIONAIREs? (Sorry, now I'm the one being discriminatory here)

DJMcMayhem

Yeah, this clue is throwing me for a loop

PiIsNot3

Would you say BOOT is more likely than SUIT?

DJMcMayhem

You can CHANGE clothes

PiIsNot3

22:14

Or rather, since Red's previous clue was "Footwear" for 0, maybe BOOT is the assassin?

@DJMcMayhem Ooh yeah, that seems more likely

El'endia Starman

lol wow tough board

PiIsNot3

I can't tell you how long I've had to wait for my mom to finish trying out all the clothes she likes at the mall

DJMcMayhem

@PiIsNot3 I think so? But I feel like there's something we're missing

I guess, you can go on a shopping TRIP?

BOOT and TRIP could be clued with WALKING or something similar

PiIsNot3

@DJMcMayhem I was thinking that could've been Red's remaining word for "Horse-riding"

El'endia Starman

Don't let that stop you. ;)

PiIsNot3

22:16

Tbh I don't associate boots or suits strongly with women's fashion, both are pretty masculine imo

Though there are those UGGly boots...

DJMcMayhem

@PiIsNot3 My wife really likes wearing boots so it doesn't seem weird to me

But yeah, they both definitely have a masculine connotation

El'endia Starman

@PiIsNot3 Clearly you don't know enough women hee hee. All the females in my family have more boots than I do and well-made women's suits look really good.

PiIsNot3

I think CHANGE is more likely, that will cover "Thermo" probably

For "Nail", I still stick with SEAL, only because the other words only tangentially relate to it

@El'endiaStarman My thought was cowboy boots, but thanks for that info :)

DJMcMayhem

I think we should probably start with BOOT

PiIsNot3

I have serious qualms about BOOT cause it could be assassin

El'endia Starman

22:20

> MASSAGE (0)

PiIsNot3

(BTW I'm on a computer now, so I can do some guessing)

DJMcMayhem

But there's only 2 words that relate to fashion in any way, so that makes me think it's not an assassin

MILLIONAIRE did cross my mind.

PiIsNot3

Then why "women's" then? That's gotta be important somehow

That probably means at least one of BOOT or SUIT is not ours

DJMcMayhem

That's the problem. I don't know :/

PiIsNot3

Do you wanna try going for previous clues' words then?

DJMcMayhem

22:22

None of them seem good. I don't really like SEAL. I'm like 50% sure on CHANGE, and RACKET is a maybe I guess

PiIsNot3

I'm thinking CHANGE > SEAL ~ RACKET > BOOT ~ SUIT

But not super confident about any of them unfortunately

Maybe SUIT is for "Nail", I brought up "nail your look"

Usually I can glean information about our words from our SM's previous cluing habits. This time around... I have no idea what's going on

DJMcMayhem

@PiIsNot3 See, the thing we have to consider. We're only missing one word from all previous rounds. So after we get any old ones, there's still two "Women's fashion" words we need to guess

PiIsNot3

@DJMcMayhem Unless we aren't missing any words from previous rounds (except for "Nail")

DJMcMayhem

So it might be CHANGE|SEAL|RACKET, but I don't think it could be more than one of them. Unless that relates to the current clue

PiIsNot3

!board

Shiro

22:26

PiIsNot3

GLASS + MERCURY + MICROSCOPE works for "Thermometer"

DJMcMayhem

@PiIsNot3 True, we have to be missing one from nail

PiIsNot3

CELL + MICROSCOPE + THUMB can plausibly work for "Hemotology" (thumbs have a lot of blood in them)

DJMcMayhem

No, thumb is for nail

PiIsNot3

@DJMcMayhem It can be for both for all we know

Cause I don't see any more possible "Hemo" words on the board right now

DJMcMayhem

22:29

I'm OK with seal

PiIsNot3

John is probably super mad at us right now hehe

DJMcMayhem

We have to guess something

PiIsNot3

...Ok, I guess we can try...

DJMcMayhem

SEAL

PiIsNot3

Don't kill us, John!

Shiro

22:29

SEAL is Blue

PiIsNot3

Oh pheeeeeeeeewwww

DJMcMayhem

Sweet, thanks. I wouldn't have thought of seal

PiIsNot3

Now just two "Women's fashion" words left

DJMcMayhem

H*ck if I know

PiIsNot3

I think the most likely words right now are BOOT, SUIT, CHANGE, and TRIP

@DJMcMayhem Hey! No swearing in my Christian Codenames chatroom!

DJMcMayhem

22:31

I agree

PiIsNot3

I mean, since it has "fashion," we have to guess one of BOOT and SUIT

Possibly SUIT > BOOT, since BOOT has a possibility of being assassin

DJMcMayhem

You know, I think I'm leaning towards guessing SUIT and BOOT. It doesn't make sense for the clue, but those are both things women wear, and I can't think of anything else.

Maybe if we want to play it safe we could try SUIT and... CHANGE?

Then if boot is the assassin, John can clue us away from it

Unless red goes out

PiIsNot3

There's still a chance for another turn since "Horse-riding" IMO is vague enough to be distracting

I'm in favor of playing SUIT

DJMcMayhem

SUIT

PiIsNot3

Please don't kill us John part 2!

Shiro

22:34

SUIT is Red
Seriously?
It is now Red's turn

PiIsNot3

Please kill me John! (figuratively, not literally lol)

El'endia Starman

lolz

Let's see if our SM can manage to clue the remaining two words together...

Red clues so far:
STRAIGHT (2) - LINE, RULER
HORSE-RIDING (2) - CENTAUR, ?
FOOTWEAR (0)
Donated: GAS, DROP, SUIT

DJMcMayhem

We've donated 3 words? Geez

El'endia Starman

yup

MVP

PiIsNot3

In fairness, they all seemed like good ideas for our clues

ElizB

22:36

Donated? Hehehe well thank you

El'endia Starman

@PiIsNot3 Yep. Really speaks to how difficult this board must be.

PiIsNot3

John operates on a whole separate plane of consciousness than us

DJMcMayhem

Or how bad at the game we are :P

PiIsNot3

New headcanon: Maybe "Women's fashion" was secretly a 0? So no clothing, but other stuff associated with fashion like CHANGE and TRIP

Would be about 20 minutes from now.

ElizB

i made my dinner all through that discussion

caird coinheringaahing

It's only been my turn to clue for 15 minutes now :P

PiIsNot3

If it's taking this long to clue two words, I gotta believe the two words are complete opposites of each other

El'endia Starman

22:51

@PiIsNot3 Even then, it should be possible to clue their shared theme.

More likely that there's no relation between the words at all.

Which could be an interesting metagaming strategy.

PiIsNot3

OK, then maybe it's like ROME + PENGUIN or something

zzzz...

El'endia Starman

Well, I'mma head out. I believe in you ElizB! :P
