blue: Vietnam war(3)

John Dvorak

ha!

fought by G.W.?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Wrong war john

and you're on my team

you're supposed to be helping with this one

John Dvorak

WDYM?

user58

helping, not "helping"

caird coinheringaahing

IIRC, the Vietnam War was fought entirely within China

msh210

22:01

pretty sure KETCHUP was used as weapon :-)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

It wasn't even backed by china

user58

FIELD, presumably.

msh210

but don't guess it, as everyone knows KETCHUP is red.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

but Vietnam is mostly jungles

DJMcMayhem

OK, enough trolling red

msh210

22:02

sorry

user58

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus As in battlefield.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

that makes sense

user58

I don't know much about the Vietnam war, though.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Me either actually

at least not that relates to the words on the board

user58

@John are you being helpful?

John Dvorak

22:03

WDYM?

user58

...you're on my team

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Agent orange the herbicide and napalm the weapon are both COMPOUNDS

Hosch250

FYI, GTG after this game. Going to brush my horse down again since the freezing rain stopped.

John Dvorak

Why do both of my team members think that mentioning George Washington was an attempt at trolling?

user58

@JohnDvorak As in... are you helping with this clue?

John Dvorak

22:04

I'd like to...

user58

@JohnDvorak Because George Washington was a couple hundred years earlier?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@JohnDvorak because he was dead long before the Vietnam war

Washington DC would be somewhat relevant though

John Dvorak

Fine then. I only knew his nationality.

user58

...he fought in the Revolutionary War, which was the 1770s

caird coinheringaahing

Oh, G.W. referred to George Washington?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:06

Wait, was China involved at all, or am I thinking of the Korean war

user58

Are we good with FIELD?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I see nothing else

John Dvorak

I like compound

user58

FIELD > COMPOUND > BEACH > ENGINE

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I was thinking beach

anything that relates to either PTSD or the movie Apocalypse Now on the board?

Have either of you seen that movie? I haven't

user58

22:08

nope

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Playing Field

FIELD

Shiro

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

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

crap

user58

wack

Shiro

caird coinheringaahing

22:08

Ah, that was fast

Hosch250

Sorry guys.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I told you, Vietnam is jungles

Hey @Hosch250, it's not your fault that John is Czech or that I forgot my history

DJMcMayhem

Red: Shore (2)

msh210

wave beach

caird coinheringaahing

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Did you just assume that Hosch isn't John's parents?

jafe

22:09

beach for sure

caird coinheringaahing

@msh210 Agreed

msh210

could also be port

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@cairdcoinheringaahing that makes no sense

caird coinheringaahing

Although

Wave and Beach would be clued with Sea

John Dvorak

Me being Czech isn't a bad thing!

caird coinheringaahing

22:10

I like Beach for sure, not sure about Wave or Port

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

No it isn't John

jafe

same

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

It's an excuse for not knowing about the Vietnam War

Hosch250

No, I like the Czech Republic. Rich history you have there (and in that general region due to changing borders).

msh210

@cairdcoinheringaahing so could port

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:11

Either that or you just don't like history

Hosch250

And, IIRC, you guys have JetBrains :)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Sorry to imply otherwise @JohnDvorak

caird coinheringaahing

So Beach to start with?

jafe

yeah

John Dvorak

Beach + Compound then?

caird coinheringaahing

22:11

BEACH

Shiro

BEACH is Red

msh210

@JohnDvorak why?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@JohnDvorak wrong team

John Dvorak

... sorry

caird coinheringaahing

Ok then

msh210

22:12

oh lol

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@PiIsNot3 whenever you get back here, that's another one for the lorebook

John Dvorak

Still, wouldn't mind a donation

msh210

!board

Shiro

jafe

think i like wave better

caird coinheringaahing

22:13

Do we like Wave or Port more?

msh210

I think wave. My kid has no opinion :-)

caird coinheringaahing

Wave it is then, for the win

WAVE

Shiro

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

jafe

so close

caird coinheringaahing

Damn

msh210

22:13

blame my kid

caird coinheringaahing

@msh210 Never! Kids are the best :P

jafe

we're still looking good though

caird coinheringaahing

Let's hope they can't get all the Vietnam War words

jafe

at least i am (checks mirror)

msh210

@cairdcoinheringaahing mine is, for sure

user58

22:15

@cairdcoinheringaahing Of course. I am naturally completely unbiased.

So COMPOUND, probably.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

is there any reason besides what I said?

That's kind of a stretch

user58

Agent Orange is fairly well-known now that I think about it

John Dvorak

Even I know of it

Hosch250

blue: Memorial(2)

user58

...we can't guess 4 words then

John Dvorak

22:17

gg

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Washington for sure, that's a monument

WASHINGTON

Hosch250

Whoops...

Shiro

WASHINGTON is Blue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

gg

WALL

user58

WALL, probably

Shiro

22:18

WALL is Blue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

gg

!finalboard

Shiro

caird coinheringaahing

Woah

DJMcMayhem

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus No!

caird coinheringaahing

What

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:18

We couldn't win

DJMcMayhem

We still could have played it out!

Hosch250

958721635

Court: Kangaroo, Lawyer, Bond

Lawyer, sports words? No...
Play--at least it's yellow
Yeah, play Kangaroo, guys
Good. Now catch "bond"
And... Play
Bond seen :)

---

Dang... Alps and Washington are both my words...

MUSIC: probably band, horn, teacher, track?

All 4 seen + Fan + Port

---

Trail: Paper, Alps (famous hiking spot)
Legal: Washington, Bond

Went with trail--my words are super hard :(

Paper immediately seen
Alps seen too. Good job, user58
I guess a mount is a mountain, but no... Again, at least it's yellow...

jafe

wait what

msh210

wall was my favorite for "Vietnam War", fwiw

Hosch250

Sorry, guys.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:18

sorry

msh210

if we missed the last clue, you guys coulda won

caird coinheringaahing

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus If we hadn't have guessed Port, you guys could've won

DJMcMayhem

You could have at least asked

caird coinheringaahing

Man, you need to slow down

msh210

but whatever, water under the bridge

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:19

I thought we'd lost

DJMcMayhem

Red: Ship (1)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I'm sorry!

Hosch250

You guys didn't even mention Wall, and seemed to be leaning toward Compound.

Otherwise, I would've clued Airplane :(

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

sorry

DJMcMayhem

RED: PORT TEACHER HORN BAND TRACK BEACH THUMB GRACE
BLUE: ALPS WALL BOND WASHINGTON KANGAROO LAWYER TAIL PAPER ENGINE

Hmm, BEACH/PORT/HORN are seem nautically related. That might hit ENGINE. Or possibly CHINA. Oh, and definitely WAVE. Let's not do that.

BAND/HORN could be related. Maybe MAESTRO? That could hit TEACHER as well if they're familiar with the Spanish word for TEACHER. Especially if blue knocks PLAY out here. Or I could say "MUSIC" to hit TRACK as well. Or maybe SONG.

I think I will go for MAESTRO, I'm just not sure if I should include "TRACK" or not. Actually, "MUSIC" could h…

It's fine.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:19

I'll try again later

Hosch250

I have to go now. Have fun!

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

That's enough embarrassment for now

DJMcMayhem

Great game team red, it felt like you were reading my mind haha

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

o\ maybe I'll be back after dinner

Hosch250

user58 did great on that one clue I gave :)

DJMcMayhem

22:20

At least until WAVE, but that wasn't a terrible guess either

\o

caird coinheringaahing

@Hosch250 That could've clued China (you need to take a plane)

DJMcMayhem

or o\, whatever it is

Hey, another new word - SATELLITE!

caird coinheringaahing

We've had Satellite a lot

John Dvorak

Apologies in advance if I'm off by 200 years again...

user58

That word's been around since at least '17.

PiIsNot3

22:29

Hmm looks like I wasn’t there for the game on the 13th, so at least to me it’s a new word

jafe

where do the words come from? there's a word list somewhere that is sometimes updated?

user58

There's a word list. It's not updated.

msh210

Red: Europe (2)

PiIsNot3

Is it the same list as the IRL version?

caird coinheringaahing

Czech and shudders Moscow?

MOSCOW is Red

caird coinheringaahing

user58

Blue: girl (4)

John Dvorak

chick

caird coinheringaahing

There are girls in Australia

I'm pretty sure of that, but don't quote me :P

John Dvorak

fair seems good

PiIsNot3

22:33

CHICK seems obvious

Girls have HEADs, I guess

John Dvorak

hairbands, perhaps even gloves?

CHICK

Shiro

CHICK is Blue

John Dvorak

head seems too gender-agnostic

hair decorations are stereotypical of young girls

PiIsNot3

Sorry, I have to drop out, things are getting kinda bad on my end

Hi ElizB, you'll be joining team blue!

BLUE: user58, John Dvorak, ElizB

John Dvorak

Another idea, bar, because of dating

ElizB

my ideas: Fair=pretty girls, mercury=one of the sailor moon characters- they're all girls? kinda maybe not intentional. Girl band is another possible

John Dvorak

FAIR

Shiro

22:38

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

John Dvorak

I don't know Sailor Moon

ElizB

-_- I thought we were in the discussion phase still, I wasn't even confident in that

that's why I thought that the mercury wouldn't pass anyway

John Dvorak

sorry; I should have waited for more input

ElizB

alright :) see what happens

msh210

Red: *Pepper (3)

um

Red: Pepper (3)

!who

Shiro

22:44

Red currently has 4 guesses remaining.

El'endia Starman

As opposed to blue peppers.

caird coinheringaahing

I don't see anything

jafe

pepper-mint

caird coinheringaahing

oh yeah

Nothing else

jafe

do peppers grow on fields? i assume not

caird coinheringaahing

22:46

I'd guess that they do when mass produced

John Dvorak

They primarily grow in the proton field, the neutron field and the electron field

caird coinheringaahing

I say we guess Mint first?

A lot of food in Australia is spicy???

El'endia Starman

Correction: a lot of food in Australia wants to kill you.

caird coinheringaahing

Correction: a lot ~~of food~~ in Australia wants to kill you

El'endia Starman

Strewth mate!

caird coinheringaahing

22:49

@jafe Any thoughts?

MINT

Shiro

MINT is Red

caird coinheringaahing

Any objection to Field @jafe?

@ElizB .

ElizB

i meant when user58 clues again

user58

Blue: piercing (5)

@John @ELiz

ElizB

hmmmm looks to be more abstract this time

John Dvorak

drill, in the general sense of piercing

ElizB

drill, link, bar? gloves are used too

John Dvorak

22:58

I'm unfamiliar with the way piercing is installed, sorry

ElizB

okay so piercing can be like piercing a body part like ear or nose or whatever. Piercing an object like drilling makes sense.

El'endia Starman

OUR DRILL WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS

John Dvorak

Some piercing is found in the head, though normally you're a bit more specific than "head piercing"

ElizB

or it can be a piercing sound like a high sharp sound

@JohnDvorak yeah, that's what I was thinking
