We'll see what's left on the board after Blue goes

El'endia Starman

man, making me work here!

Hosch250

Please get the black square ;)

John Dvorak

blue: Underwater(3)

El'endia Starman

hmmmmm

user58

....sorry, my sense of humor gets deep fried at some point after midnight.

Hosch250

00:06

So, quick question: the number is for only open squares, or all squares?

El'endia Starman

LOCK as in canal locks. PIPE as in transporting fluids. ROME as in concrete that could set underwater (at least I think that was Rome) and/or aqueducts. SCHOOL as in a school of fish. BELL as in diving bell. TOWER as in water tower. FORCE as in increasing pressure?

PiIsNot3

@Hosch250 Yes, only words that haven't been revealed yet

But you can also guess words from previous clues if you missed some

@user58 revolving_thinking_emoji.gif

El'endia Starman

@user58 Very deep-fried.

Hosch250

Is that an owl under water saying "hmm"?

El'endia Starman

Buzz Lightyear, actually.

John Dvorak

00:08

Let's not use that image anymore

user58

I'll take your advice under consideration.

El'endia Starman

PIPE > BELL > LOCK > TOWER, methinks.

Here goes!

PIPE

Shiro

PIPE is Red
That's too bad.
It is now Red's turn

El'endia Starman

#$%&#

PiIsNot3

"That's too bad."

Hosch250

00:09

At least it wasn't black.

PiIsNot3

But yeah, I would've gone for that too

user58

Red: Italian (2)

Hosch250

Olive and rome?

PiIsNot3

Immediately see ROME

El'endia Starman

Just you watch, next turn I'm gonna get all five in one shot!

PiIsNot3

00:09

Yeah, OLIVE too probably

Hosch250

Is that too easy?

PiIsNot3

Don't see any better words

And our SM gave the clue very quickly, so it should be obvious

Hosch250

Unless, it's the leaning tower of pisa.

PiIsNot3

@Hosch250 Don't need to over think things :) And also, I suspect TOWER is Blue from "Underwater"

OK, if no objections, playing ROME > OLIVE

Hosch250

OK!

PiIsNot3

00:11

ROME

Shiro

ROME is Red

PiIsNot3

OLIVE

Shiro

OLIVE is Blue
Uh... what?
It is now Blue's turn

El'endia Starman

:O :O :O

PiIsNot3

...sorry

El'endia Starman

00:11

STILL IN THE GAME

Hosch250

LOL, no problem :)

PiIsNot3

Maybe it is TOWER

El'endia Starman

I think CAT, OLIVE, and SEAL were intended for the Organism (3) clue earlier.

PiIsNot3

Or PIANO?

Hosch250

Galileo wasn't Italian, was he?

Or was he?

Maybe Jupiter?

PiIsNot3

00:12

@Hosch250 He was

Hosch250

Ugh.

I bet it's Jupiter.

PiIsNot3

Oh, yeah, how could we miss JUPITER!

Welp, if we lose this, blame it all on me

John Dvorak

Blue: Alarm(unlimited)

Hosch250

I've made as many bad guesses.

El'endia Starman

BELL

Shiro

00:14

BELL is Blue

Hosch250

Dang, that's like all the rest of them.

El'endia Starman

SCHOOL and HORN are options.

Meanwhile I was considering LOCK and TOWER from before.

!board

Shiro

El'endia Starman

SCHOOL

Shiro

SCHOOL is Blue

El'endia Starman

00:16

whew

Two more.

LOCK

Shiro

LOCK is Blue

El'endia Starman

woo!

!board

Shiro

El'endia Starman

TOWER or HORN, hmmmmmmm....

BELL, SCHOOL, and LOCK all fit both the underwater (3) and alarm (unlimited) clues.

HORN

Shiro

HORN is Blue

El'endia Starman

00:18

YASSSS

PiIsNot3

GG, and I officially quit playing this game

El'endia Starman

You can sound an alarm using horns! :D

PiIsNot3

!finalboard

Shiro

Hosch250

GG

El'endia Starman

PiIsNot3

...PIANO?

user58

427965222

HEART, ORGAN, ICE, PIPE, PIANO, ROME, DECK, NURSE.

"blood" - HEART, ORGAN, PIPE, NURSE. Risks blue CHEST and yellow TUBE.

"instrument" clues PIPE, ORGAN, PIANO but risks BELL and HORN.

"italian" clues ROME and PIANO.

John starts off with what looks like an illegal clue - "organism". Not sure what he's thinking, though. I gave him the same penalty I've given for illegal clues in the past.

Blue gets CHEST and a yellow FOOT, rendering the penalty moot in any case.

That's freed up "blood", though.

John Dvorak

20191126

Blue: Cat, Bell, Horn, School, Chest, Olive, Lock, Pyramid, Seal
Black: Parachute

Cat and Seal are animals. Safe 2.
+ Olive = organism
Body parts blocked by Heart/Organ/R

Lock/Pyramid/Seal = Tomb. Too generic clue,
School difficult to match.
Egypt gives Cat, Pyramid. Heart/Organ too close to third.

In the interest of time: Organism(3)
Dammit. Too close to organ. Should have realized. Penalized by two guesses' penalty. Effectively just one because I have no backlog.
Bell/Horn could still be clued with Cow.

Great game!

El'endia Starman

@PiIsNot3 Just now looked this up.

> The invention of the piano is credited to Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655–1731) of Padua, Italy

PiIsNot3

@El'endiaStarman Yeah, I forgot that "Organism" wasn't fully gotten, I thought CHEST was one of them,

We had it, and I blew it, :(

Hosch250

00:22

Hey, I get honorary mention as being not-good at the game!

user58

@El'endiaStarman And "piano" mean like eights or something in Italian, I forget the exact meaning

PiIsNot3

@Hosch250 It's your first time, you get a pass

Hosch250

I don't know. I guess I've read too many books about Aztecs.

John Dvorak

"piano" means "weak"

as in quiet

Hosch250

I should've guessed that, TBH. I was forced to take piano lessons for a while.

PiIsNot3

00:23

Yeah, I should've been more careful, I knew what "piano" meant

Hosch250

I was thinking more "instrument".

John Dvorak

piano (feminine singular piana, masculine plural piani, feminine plural piane)

    plane
    flat, level

        Synonym: piatto

    plain
    soft

        Antonym: forte

    penultimate accented

as noun:

plane
floor, storey (British), story (US) (of a building)
plan, tactic, stratagem, scheme, plot
(music) piano

PiIsNot3

"Mozart" for ROME + PIANO shouldn't be too bad, I think

John Dvorak

Pretty sure he was Austrian

PiIsNot3

"Italian" hit a bunch of unintended ones unfortunately

@JohnDvorak He has a connection to the Catholic Church

user58

00:25

From Vienna, I thought *googles*

Hosch250

Not by that much. As far as I know, he viewed them mostly as employers.

El'endia Starman

Yeah, I wouldn't have made the connection between Mozart and Rome. I thought he was Germanic.

John Dvorak

> Born in Salzburg

user58

In any case, that was an intense game, and it's now... about 2:30 in the morning. G'night, folks!

PiIsNot3

@user58 See ya!

Hosch250

00:26

Night!

El'endia Starman

G'night, sleep well!

John Dvorak

An Austrian through and through

Night

PiIsNot3

IIRC, he went to Rome as a child to listen to one of the church's top secret hymns, then went back and transcribed it perfectly

Anyway, I'm willing to redeem myself, if not right now then maybe later today

So 0/ on standby

John Dvorak

he did!

Hosch250

We have supper pretty quick.

So I can't play another.

John Dvorak

00:30

On standby

El'endia Starman

Red 5 standing by.

Or should I say Blue 9? ;)

Hosch250

Well, I'll play if I'm the last one you need, I guess.

I can be spymaster.

Hosch and Quintec as SMs?

PiIsNot3

@Quintec Does your wave stand?

Hosch250

Cool. @PiIsNot3?

El'endia Starman

And hope that someone else takes over for Pi if the game goes longer than an hour.

Hosch250

02:20

John? He's apparently seen a few seconds ago.

PiIsNot3

@JohnDvorak @ElizB @cairdcoinheringaahing

El'endia Starman

I think ElizB is cleaning up after cooking.

Hosch250

OK, please help. I don't see anything.

It's asking me for a secret I didn't create?

PiIsNot3

@Hosch250 Go to the Kodenames website in the chat description

And paste the seed into there

Hosch250

Ohh.

blue: Hypothermia(3)

El'endia Starman

hmm

PiIsNot3

!who

Shiro

02:29

Blue currently has 4 guesses remaining.

El'endia Starman

COLD is obvious. I think SNOWMAN is also a good choice. Not sure what the third is yet.

COLD

Shiro

COLD is Blue

El'endia Starman

SNOWMAN

Shiro

SNOWMAN is Blue

El'endia Starman

sweet

I was thinking BEAR because hibernation but I just saw HOSPITAL and that's a place where you would treat hypothermia, so I'mma try that.

HOSPITAL

Shiro

02:31

HOSPITAL is Red
Uh... what?
It is now Red's turn

El'endia Starman

crap

Shiro

PiIsNot3

Red: Ellipsoid (2)

John Dvorak

ball

ElizB

Okay, first one I see is ball too

stadium?

John Dvorak

02:36

perhaps

ElizB

Saturn?

John Dvorak

I'd assume we're to prefer not-spheres

ElizB

Yeah, that's what I think too

caird coinheringaahing

Man, we need to play something other than Codenames at some point

!join

Shiro

Hi caird coinheringaahing, you'll be joining team blue!

BLUE: Hosch250, El'endia Starman, caird coinheringaahing

ElizB

02:38

so... stadium to me seems the most ellipsoid-y thing i think...

I'm not even entirely sure what it means

John Dvorak

ah, hold on

ElizB

i have an idea of what it might mean

John Dvorak

ellipsoid is the 3D thing...

ElizB

okay

John Dvorak

the 2d thing is just "ellipse"

ElizB

02:39

so is it more sphere-like?

John Dvorak

So far we have three spheres

ball -> saturn -> bomb

ElizB

well saturn and ball are more sphere like than stadium

so I agree with ball and saturn.

you or me doing the guessing?

John Dvorak

you may

ElizB

BALL

Shiro

BALL is Red

caird coinheringaahing

02:41

@El'endiaStarman Not sure about the next Blue word, but Pass is something to do with mountains, so it may have something to do with that

ElizB

SATURN

Shiro

SATURN is Red

ElizB

Pass?

El'endia Starman

@cairdcoinheringaahing Vaguely plausible but I feel like that's too tenuous.

John Dvorak

pass

ElizB

02:43

[pass]

Shiro

caird coinheringaahing

@El'endiaStarman Also, my American history is rusty, but didn't the Donner Party die in the Donner Pass because of Hypothermia?

El'endia Starman

@cairdcoinheringaahing Uh....... >_> I have no idea what that is. <_<

caird coinheringaahing

@El'endiaStarman IIRC they were a group who tried to go to California but ended up eating each other because they got stuck in the snow in the Rockies

El'endia Starman

ooof

Anyway, strictly speaking, hypothermia is just lower-than-normal body temperatures, and BEARs definitely experience that during hibernation.

caird coinheringaahing

02:45

The biggest Oof

Hmm, I like that as well

waits for an anti-clue for Pass

Hosch250

Can I use a phrase, or does it have to be a single word?

PiIsNot3

@Hosch250 If it's the name of an actual thing, then it should be good

Hosch250

OK.

PiIsNot3

But if you wanna make sure, then send me a onetimesecret.com

With your proposed clue

caird coinheringaahing

@PiIsNot3 For some reason, I thought John was SM, and was really confused as to why Hosch would send you a OTS :/

PiIsNot3

@cairdcoinheringaahing Lorebook entry: "caird doesn't know what the teams are"
