Shiro

PASS doesn't appear to be on the board...

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

[pass]

heh

Shiro

Hosch250

Dang, that would've been funny.

caird coinheringaahing

Imagine if Pass was the assassin...

Hosch250

20:02

It would've been funny any way :)

Whether he randomly got a free one or whatever :)

Or she.

John Dvorak

Blue: Building(2)

Hosch250

Moscow and Tokyo both have buildings, but I don't care too much for either. Tower is good, I think.

msh210

I think thumb is a unit of length.

Hosch250

A bridge is a building.

msh210

Tower for sure

caird coinheringaahing

20:06

Tower and Bridge

Hosch250

But Ivory goes really well with Tower (e.g. Academia).

@cairdcoinheringaahing I can get behind this.

msh210

Bridge is okay but then structure is a better clue, no?

Because, I mean, a bridge isn't actually a building

Hosch250

Yeah, I view a building as more of a place to living/working/storage place.

Something with at least 2 walls.

msh210

Otoh I see nothing better

caird coinheringaahing

I say Tower > Thumb > Code > Bridge

msh210

20:09

tower>thumb>bridge methinks

Code comes in units?

I'm not a programmer

caird coinheringaahing

Unit tests is something to do with coding

msh210

That I know, but that's distant

unless they're called that because it's a "unit of code"

caird coinheringaahing

I say we guess the first 2

msh210

sounds good

caird coinheringaahing

TOWER

Shiro

20:14

TOWER is Blue

caird coinheringaahing

THUMB

THUMB is Blue

caird coinheringaahing

Alright

Shiro

Hosch250

@msh210 They test units of code.

msh210

20:14

Bridge, no? We've only a "building" left.

Hosch250

But, I say we wait until we get a better clue.

msh210

@Hosch250 okay

caird coinheringaahing

We might as well go for Building

msh210

@cairdcoinheringaahing I think so

caird coinheringaahing

Worst case, we'll only be one ahead

Hosch250

20:15

Have we considered building as a verb?

caird coinheringaahing

Does anything fit that?

You use Rocks to build, but I don't like that as much as Bridge

Hosch250

I don't see anything.

Internet is really sketchy for some reason, but bridge seems best here too.

caird coinheringaahing

I say Bridge and see what happens? Given that it fits the clue somewhat, it's unlikely to be the assassin

msh210

@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah let's

caird coinheringaahing

BRIDGE

Shiro

20:20

BRIDGE is Blue
You are out of guesses. It is now Red's turn

Very nice

Let's hope that makes it easier for John :P

Nice.

Hosch250

Thanks.

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Still no Quintec.

Gotta play the catching-up game here

PITCH

Shiro

PITCH is Red
You are out of guesses. It is now Blue's turn

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

sweet

Shiro

20:25

Hosch250

Hmmm. Like Pitch > Toss > Toss a kiss?

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

I was thinking the band

Saw 'em in Detroit back in March

Hosch250

FWIW, a pitch can also be mowed; IIRC a cricket field or something is a pitch?

Nice.

John Dvorak

blue: Japanese(2)

Hosch250

Tokyo obviously...

I don't get the other one, though. Maybe Agent?

tokyo

Shiro

20:30

TOKYO is Blue

Hosch250

Is Anime or Manga a comic theme?

Is Japan famous for their ivory? I'd guess that was African?

Asian elephants probably have it too, though?

caird coinheringaahing

Hmm, not sure

Hosch250

I think most of the Asian elephants are in the India/Thailand/Bangladesh region?

Of course, that doesn't rule out exporting any ivory.

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah, but then Asia would be a better clue

Hosch250

Agree.

caird coinheringaahing

20:37

I think Comic (i.e. Manga) is the best option

Hosch250

Well, is Moscow in Asia? Or is that in the Europe part?

caird coinheringaahing

Quite European

Hosch250

OK.

msh210

o/

caird coinheringaahing

So Comic then?

Hosch250

20:38

I'll wait for msh's opinion first.

But I'm cool with it.

msh210

@cairdcoinheringaahing sounds good

caird coinheringaahing

COMIC

Shiro

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

caird coinheringaahing

Crap

Shiro

Hosch250

20:38

LOL.

user58

If it had been TOKYO + COMIC, it would have been "manga (2)".

caird coinheringaahing

Very good point

Hosch250

At this point, I'm leaning to Agent, since Japanese Agent is a phrase, but I have no idea.

Of course, if we even get another turn...

msh210

@Hosch250 it is?

Hosch250

I mean, it's a valid English phrase, not a common phrase.

Japanese doesn't pair directly with any other word as a direct chain.

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

20:41

I'm an idiot.

The band would go with ROCK, not PITCH.

Lucky mistake

I'm blue, and I'm starting!

Blue: Thumb, Pound, Day, Code, Bridge, Bar, Orange, Tower, Tokyo
Black: Racket

Let's play well this time, shall I?

Tower Bridge is a structure in London.
Thumb blue, Mouth red.
Is there a famous Tower/Bridge in Tokyo?
Pound, Day, Bar are all units (the latter for music). Point/Y also is.
Code unit is a thing, and Caird might even know it. Field red, let's not have it put before Code. Also, chance they hit Heart/R?
The remaining words for that are a mess.

ElizB

20:43

Second game of the day, Team RED again, Blue goes first!

RED: ElizB, Khuldraeseth na'Barya
BLUE: John Dvorak, caird coinheringaahing

Assassin: Racket
Blue: THUMB POUND DAY CODE BRIDGE BAR ORANGE TOWER TOKYO
Red: ENGINE MOUTH ROCK HEART COMIC BARK PITCH FIELD

BARK PITCH FIELD = DOG? might get HEART too.

ROCK MOUTH = KISS? I hope they know the band KISS...

COMIC HEART = PERSONALITY?

ENGINE... hmm.

Unit 4 for day, pound... Bar? good clue. 3 out of 4 is good.

Hmm, KISS might go for comic because the face painting is rather comedic to me. that's just my opinion though.

user58

@JohnDvorak I wasn't going to say anything before they guessed. ;)

caird coinheringaahing

Thumb as a unit of measurement convinced me to drop Code :/

John Dvorak

TBF though, I wouldn't have been better off with just Tokyo + Orange

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Football fields are units on occasion here in the States

John Dvorak

but then so are elephants and whales

user58

20:49

or Wales

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Or wails

caird coinheringaahing

Freedom units = Football fields per school shootings

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

TIL about absement

If a football field is distance and a school shooting is inverse time

caird coinheringaahing

Wouldn't it be just normal time?

Like how long it takes to happen?

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Could be.

John Dvorak

20:52

length / inverse time = length * time = absement

Blue: telescope (3)

caird coinheringaahing

Watch and Satellite?

Hosch250

And possibly microscope?

ElizB

okay, satellite, watch, microscope?

Hosch250

Good with me.

caird coinheringaahing

21:24

I was thinking about Telescope as well

Should I guess?

Hosch250

Also, I'm about to leave in 5 minutes.

ElizB

you can use a telescope on a cliff or on a beach

caird coinheringaahing

Satellite > Watch > Microscope

ElizB

what do you think about cliff or beach?

caird coinheringaahing

Not really sure

It seems a bit of a stretch

ElizB

21:26

iirc an observatory is usually in a high spot

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Uh-oh. I'm low on battery. Will continue on phone, but be warned that my quality of play will drop.

caird coinheringaahing

I have seen a lot of observatories on cliff edges

Hosch250

Post, maybe.

ElizB

we can put that on the backlog if none of the three work

I like satellite the best but on second thought watch is a bit of a stretch but it's maybe worth trying

caird coinheringaahing

So that order?

Hosch250

21:28

Also, you park a telescope in orbit?

I don't like that one much, though.

ElizB

no, not park.

I like satellite, cliff the best right now

Hosch250

!leave

Shiro

BLUE: msh210, caird coinheringaahing, ElizB

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

Farewell.

msh210

21:28

@Hosch250 thanks, gamen

ElizB

I can do the guessing if you want

caird coinheringaahing

So Satellite > Microscope > Cliff > Watch?

@ElizB Yeah, that's fine

ElizB

IMO satellite > cliff > microscope > watch

caird coinheringaahing

I'm good with that

ElizB

my gut is telling me that the clue might be attempting to either clue away or towards microscope don't know until we try

satellite

Hosch250

21:31

Both precision optical instruments.

Shiro

SATELLITE is Blue

caird coinheringaahing

I feel like the OTS was: "Is it valid because they both end in scope?"

ElizB

yeah, that's what I thought

cliff

Shiro

CLIFF is Blue

ElizB

ooh yay

caird coinheringaahing

21:32

SMs, I'd better be reading about how much of a genius I am because I figured that out in your logs later :P

Maybe ROUND? Not sure on that one

Also, we're playing on the interNET

Rubiksmoose

hmmm

Shall we guess PASS real quick to get it out of the way?

DJMcMayhem

21:43

Yeah

PASS

Shiro

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

caird coinheringaahing

In the grand scheme of things, Rose is basically Red

Shiro

DJMcMayhem

...

Rubiksmoose

well then lol

We were clearly not on the same page as our SM on that one lol

Khuldraeseth na'Barya

21:44

Well then.

Rubiksmoose

What else could it be?

POST? NET?

msh210

Blue: vigil (2)

ElizB

watch, for sure.

caird coinheringaahing

What's a vigil again?

ElizB

rose, grace, ...

oh a vigil is basically either you keep vigil (watch and waiting for something to happen or someone to show up) or have a vigil for someone who passed away, like a candlelight vigil

caird coinheringaahing

21:47

I think Rose would be a better fit than grace

Is that those things with the flowers when people die?

ElizB

yeah sometimes.

maybe life would count, heart?

watch and rose are my best guesses

caird coinheringaahing

Watch > Rose > Life > Head > Grace

ElizB

take out head, and I like that order

El'endia Starman

Codenames variant: get your team to guess all your words in one turn. Accomplishable by giving 3+ clues over 3+ turns but your team guesses yellow words up to the last turn.

ElizB

watch

Shiro

21:52

WATCH is Blue

ElizB

rose

ROSE is Red
Maybe you'll do better next time.
It is now Red's turn

caird coinheringaahing

Of course it is :P

El'endia Starman

21:53

ROSE is Red, SATELLITE is Blue...

caird coinheringaahing
