Codenames

caird coinheringaahing

22:01

I'm up for a game, but I'd prefer Contact, Zendo or Spyfall. We've played a lot of Codenames recently

El'endia Starman

Codenames is love. Codenames is life

There are no other games in this room.

DJMcMayhem

I could go for some contact

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

sure maybe one

Contact

For playing the game Contact, where one person tries to "defend"...

ping me in either room if a game starts

El'endia Starman

There is no Contact in Ba Sing Se.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Which is why we could leave the room

although I'm better at this

El'endia Starman

22:07

There is no Contact in Ba Sing Se.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Who says that's where we have to be

like I said, I prefer this

I can't delete the link

I"m up for anything

I prefer this honestly

so o/ here and o/ there

Also, gave the most obscure clue of my life in Codenames earlier

El'endia Starman

o/ here

DJMcMayhem

@/ here as well

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

o/ here too actually

ping me if something starts

I actually can't SM, because I don't know when my dinner is

going to e

be

caird coinheringaahing

o/

El'endia Starman

22:14

Hey DJ, wanna be the SM for both teams? Shiro supports it! :P

caird coinheringaahing

Mind if I test that out with a fake game? I've been told repeatedly that it doesn't

Ooh, what happens if all players are the same person?

Hi DJMcMayhem, you'll be joining team red!

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

this isn't a real game DJ

DJMcMayhem

How do you know?

caird coinheringaahing

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus It is, and I'm the only winner :P

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

caird said so

El'endia Starman

22:18

Hey, I did this yesterday!

ElizB

@cairdcoinheringaahing @El'endiaStarman did that yesterday

caird coinheringaahing

Ah right :P

El'endia Starman

yesterday, by El'endia Starman

!newgame El'endia Starman, El'endia Starman, El'endia Starman, El'endia Starman

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

did what?

caird coinheringaahing

Still fun

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:18

so how do we stop a game and start a real one?

caird coinheringaahing

Before finalboard, any assassin predictions?

DJMcMayhem

Jam

El'endia Starman

I think just the !newgame alone will do it.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

also turkey is my guess

oh

caird coinheringaahing

!finalboard

El'endia Starman

22:19

Assassin: CANADA. Nobody expects them.

caird coinheringaahing

@DJMcMayhem Did you get the OTS?

Shiro

El'endia Starman

woooaoaahhhhh

DJMcMayhem

@cairdcoinheringaahing >_> <_< no

El'endia Starman

DJ guessed it!

caird coinheringaahing

22:19

@El'endiaStarman I thought that was the Spanish Inquisition?

ElizB

you need to go play the lottery DJ

caird coinheringaahing

Do we have enough to play a real game?

El'endia Starman

yep

DJMcMayhem

Another show of hands?

@/

El'endia Starman

o/

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:20

o/

caird coinheringaahing

0/

DJMcMayhem

@ElizB I got the OTS

El'endia Starman

cheater

caird coinheringaahing

@DJMcMayhem Is that the same as 0/?

DJMcMayhem

@cairdcoinheringaahing It means I'd be happy with either one

caird coinheringaahing

22:21

Fairs

DJMcMayhem

We've started using it, because it seems like 0/ is I don't prefer SM

jafe

o/

caird coinheringaahing

So looks like we've got 2 SMs

ElizB

o/

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@DJMcMayhem that is what the zero means

I probably can't stay for too long

caird coinheringaahing

Hope that's all correct

DJMcMayhem

Jun 11 '18 at 21:38, by Mithrandir

BTW, quick guide to waving: O/ is "I can SM", o/ is "I can play but not SM", and 0/ is "I can play and can SM if needed, but prefer not to SM"

Nov 26 at 21:45, by El'endia Starman

Literally the four shortest names on one team and the three longest on the other team. Lol.

DJMcMayhem

@cairdcoinheringaahing I'll just write down what I imagine you're thinking

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@DJMcMayhem we all know it's just "Oh, crap" all the time

caird coinheringaahing

@DJMcMayhem Given my profile picture, just write down the occasional "Woof"

DJMcMayhem

Thankfully red is up first so I can go make some bean juice

caird coinheringaahing

Maybe a "Bark" every so often

El'endia Starman

22:24

Hopefully it's not a ruff game for you.

caird coinheringaahing

Red: Bunny (0)

El'endia Starman

oh boy

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Leading with zeros doesn't help

El'endia Starman

So, definitely not RABBIT. But I'm thinking CAT and DOG.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

What exactly is the point of leading with a zero clue

El'endia Starman

22:25

Maybe KIWI, in the vein of animals.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

!who

Shiro

Red currently has unlimited guesses remaining.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Why would you start by giving a 0? I don't get it

@El'endiaStarman what makes you think that animals are intended

El'endia Starman

"Don't guess this but guess things kinda related to this."

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

oh

El'endia Starman

22:26

I've seen 0 clues used that way in this room, but not very often.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I thought it just meant "Don't guess this"

Hey, I had to clue CHINA without clueing BEIJING earlier today

El'endia Starman

I myself haven't used a 0 clue that way as an SM.

Ooof.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I did it, but it took an obscure mythological reference

caird coinheringaahing

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Teacup?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

and they still considered Beijing

El'endia Starman

22:27

Coulda done "Hong Kong (1)" maybe?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@cairdcoinheringaahing Actually I used Chang'e, Chinese goddess of the moon

moon was also on the board

also the name of China's moon probe

El'endia Starman

Oh, that's a nice one. I probably would've gotten that...

caird coinheringaahing

Wow. Ceramic might have worked

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I forgot about the other kind of China until I clued dessert for moon pie

so if 0 means that, dog and cat could work

El'endia Starman

Let's try 'em.

DOG > CAT > KIWI

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:28

ok

El'endia Starman

DOG

Shiro

DOG is Red

El'endia Starman

CAT

Shiro

CAT is Red

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I may have to leave some time in the next half hour

El'endia Starman

22:29

KIWI

Shiro

KIWI is Red

El'endia Starman

sweet :D

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

anything else?

El'endia Starman

I'd be fine with passing here or SPACE (because Space Jam?).

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

but that has a bunny in it

several in fact

El'endia Starman

22:30

Yes, but there's only one assassin.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

ok 2

for all we know rabbit could just be blue

El'endia Starman

yeah, fair

[pass]

Shiro

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I mean a leading zero to me means "this is the assassin and I want you to know that now"

but still, I don't think it has to mean that

El'endia Starman

We have a good start and we can wait for caird to clue it if need be.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:31

ok

jafe

nice job, i'd have gotten zero based on that clue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

You know what's amazing? I still lost that game I SMd earlier

I still pulled off the most difficult clue I think though

DJMcMayhem

Blue: Chase (3)

ElizB

I think the number has to be bolded too

jafe

TAG is chasing, at least

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:35

no it doesn't actually @DJMcMayhem

jafe

rabbit chase?

Hosch250

!join

Shiro

Hi Hosch250, you'll be joining team red!

RED: caird coinheringaahing, ThePuzzlingPlaypus, El'endia Starman, Hosch250

DJMcMayhem

!who

Shiro

Blue currently has 4 guesses remaining.

DJMcMayhem

22:35

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus ^

ElizB

oh TIL :)

El'endia Starman

Bolding the number has no effect.

DJMcMayhem

Oh whoops, pinged wrong person

caird coinheringaahing

@cairdcoinheringaahing Man, that's a tongue twister

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I need some water

ElizB

22:36

lolz

El'endia Starman

Codenames variant: 0 clues only.

ElizB

Tag, Charge? Ninjas chase?

jafe

BOND films have plenty of chases

ElizB

that's true too

caird coinheringaahing

At some point, we should combine all these variants into one horrible game

jafe

22:37

is paper chase a thing? it sounds like a thing

ElizB

hmm no

jafe

tag is the only one i'm confident about

ElizB

same

Van can chase or be chased

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I'm back

ElizB

Shot (after someone on foot) like run really fast?

jafe

22:40

pretty far-fetched i think

ElizB

Horn can be used in a car chase

Yeah so many of these can be used but they're all very tenuous except for tag and charge IMO

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@ElizB What exactly did your "Today I learned" comment refer to? I'm hoping the thing I said about Chinese mythology

jafe

chasing rabbits?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

must...resist...urge to troll

caird coinheringaahing

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus It's 5x worse as an SM :/

ElizB

22:42

TIL I did not need to bold the number when cluing as an SM

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

oh, that

right

It's not that bad of an urge, because I suck at trolling

ElizB

I've been doing that the whole time but just found out that it wasn't necessary

El'endia Starman

I've never bolded the number, so...

ElizB

oh lol maybe I overlooked it

jafe

maybe TAG and CHARGE first in any case

caird coinheringaahing

22:43

The new biggest issue in modern marriages: To bold or to not bold?

3

El'endia Starman

LOL

DJMcMayhem

@cairdcoinheringaahing To have and to bold?

ElizB

I agree @jafe

you doing the guessing or me?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@cairdcoinheringaahing something about the slings and italics of outrageous fortune?

jafe

i can do it

caird coinheringaahing

22:44

You guys are making references that are flying over my head rn :P

jafe

tag

Shiro

TAG is Blue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I don't remember the monologue well enough, although there was that Calvin and Hobbes strip where some slop on Calvin's plate did that

@cairdcoinheringaahing mine was also a Hamlet reference

jafe

charge

Shiro

CHARGE is Blue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:45

DJ's was about wedding vows

jafe

alright

ElizB

we have two more guesses, one more for the clue. what else?

!board

Shiro

caird coinheringaahing

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Well, I hated Shakespeare in school, and I'm not married, so no wonder I didn't get those

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I'm not married either

jafe

22:46

i'm afraid of rabbit because of the red clue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

but caird, you made the Hamlet reference

that's what to be or not to be is from

jafe

bond, van?

caird coinheringaahing

It's also very famous

ElizB

Possibilities: Bond, van?

DJMcMayhem

@cairdcoinheringaahing "To have and to hold" is also very famous

ElizB

22:47

yeah hmm okay so Van trumps Bond IMO

jafe

i was thinking the opposite

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

has the word "ninja" ever been the assassin that you guys know of? That would be perfect

caird coinheringaahing

@DJMcMayhem onetimesecret.com/secret/atzpkxe1ao4wcvh24xylhqtzhf5ugx8

ElizB

hmm

DJMcMayhem

@cairdcoinheringaahing onetimesecret.com/secret/78uc6ox6dturgbpsvqxeaekcid2yd24

jafe

22:49

although not sure hmm

neither is a great fit

ElizB

I don't see any other words that might fit better than the two other than Ninja, Shot, Horn?

caird coinheringaahing

@DJMcMayhem onetimesecret.com/secret/2nkgv19ju0zq0w07oksfsyrron55sw5

jafe

go for gold with rabbit anyway?

ElizB

if it's the assassin then that's on you

jafe

pass?

ElizB

22:51

I'm gonna wait and see for Rabbit

no, i want to at least try one more

jafe

go with van then?

ElizB

flip coin for bond and van?

okay then van it is

jafe

i can get behind van

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@jafe better than getting in front of one

jafe

playing it

van

Shiro

22:52

VAN is Red
Oh, dear.
It is now Red's turn

ElizB

ah, alright.

Shiro

Hi Quintec, you'll be joining team blue!

jafe

22:52

welcome

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I'm not looking up stuff related to the puzzle, but I can't help doing other things while I wait

ElizB

not sure where the third chase word is but we can try bond next time if dj gives us an unlimited in the future or steers us away from bond

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I mean rabbits do chase each other

jafe

yeah

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

So do squirrels

and squirrels together with the rabbits, I think

Hosch250

22:54

So hard to not put some obscure references I see.

jafe

another space jam ref? haven't seen it

Hosch250

Neither have I.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@Hosch250 you really think you could beat my obscure reference from earlier?

also I have

Hosch250

Which one?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

the Chang'e thing

when I was SMing

Hosch250

22:55

Oh, umm, that was easy once I figured out where I'd seen the name :)

This one is kind of a niche hobby.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I'd forgotten about the lunar probe thing

jafe

"Be the Chang'e you want to see in the world"

caird coinheringaahing

@DJMcMayhem onetimesecret.com/secret/bek6p1bbu07sjkvgapjy3mmnbt5st71
