Hi Hosch250, you'll be joining team red!
For 37 minutes.

Red: Thanksgiving (2)
Well, that's pie.
And turkey.
Unless, for example, your family has link sausage and bug legs...
@JohnDvorak ping pong
Maybe dino chops?
Turkey great
turkey
20:58
TURKEY is Red
Turkey drumsticks would be a thing. No idea about pies.
Everyone has pumpkin pie on thanksgiving.
It's much better than turkey.
Go for it then
PIE is Red
20:59
Pass, I assume?
Hi DJMcMayhem, you'll be joining team blue!
[pass]
BLUE: Mithical, Rubiksmoose, DJMcMayhem
Blue: mermaid (3)
21:00
Beach, ship, princess?
SHIP, PRINCESS<
BEACH is good too
Maybe hollywood? I like that less
Well, historically, didn't they dance through the waves under the moon?
I know you're joking but DANCE is a possibility lol
Maybe PAN as in Peter Pan
21:01
I don't think it's super likely though.
@Rubiksmoose Yep, joking here.
Thanks for cleaning it up :)
I think PRINCESS > BEACH > Not sure between PAN/SHIP > DANCE
@DJMcMayhem I'm good with going with those first two and seeing where we're at.
21:04
OK, I'll guess 'em
PRINCESS
PRINCESS is Blue
BEACH is Blue
I think I like SHIP more. At first I hesitated since Mermaids presumably don't go on ships, but they're very strongly associated with Sailors. And we could always go for PAN next round if that's wrong
21:05
My gut says SHIP > DANCE > PAN but I don't really have any solid reasons behind that.
Plus mermaids on the front of the ship.
Yeah, that too
I'm good with going for SHIP.
SHIP is Blue
21:06

This is our first round, right? Nothing on the backlog
Correct.

Red: Legend of Zelda (5)
21:08
wowza
Red currently has 6 guesses remaining.
Dang, never played that game, LOL.
Key, though?
OK, just double checking that italics doesn't mess anything up
Link for sure.
21:08
Red SM is super happy we got rid of PRINCESS and SHIP I'll bet lol
Probably dance.
I don't remember if that one was notoriously BUGgy.
Maybe diamond/copper/iron (did Link collect stuff?)
Link and key are the only ones I'm quite sure of.
Fingers crossed that John hasn't played them either
@JohnDvorak
Link for sure
link
21:11
LINK is Red
Windwaker is one of the games, so WIND
wind
WIND is Red
Lots of the games involve collecting keys, but that might be too generic
The primary currency is rupees, which are gemstones similar to DIAMONDs in appearance
Feel free to play anything from here. Although I like Key better than Diamond.
21:14
The plot of Majora's Mask is a MOON slowly descending on the city, and resulting in an exctinction level event if you don't stop it
I like that.
MOON is Red
Also, yes, the blood moon in Breath of the Wild :P
@Hosch250 ANYTHING is not on the board ;)
21:15
@Rubiksmoose If I were a mod, I'd force-rename you to Dad Joke.
Boom arrows, perhaps. Not sure when in the series they appeared, but I do think they're called that.
KEY
KEY is Red
DIAMOND
@Hosch250 Make it Dad Joke + Pun and you've basically given me the highest praise ;)
2
DIAMOND is Red
21:16
@Rubiksmoose LOL.
Holy crap
That was five
Wow, we got all 5 of them :D
two to go
21:16
Great job, John!
[Pass]
Points go to HTM
Very nice y'all
I mean, it sucks for us but very nice all the same lol
Of course, if Mithical plays a 5 and you guys get them, you win :D
I bet the other two are completely unrelated, like limousine and antarctica or something.
21:19
@Hosch250 Tuxedo (2)
@DJMcMayhem Very nice.
@DJMcMayhem I don't get that clue, but if they play that, we know what to guess.
@Hosch250 (penguins)
Ohhh, LOL.
Nice.
Blue: wired (5)
21:22
ooo!
COPPER
big breath OK
Yes, COPPER
STRING?
Yeah... I think that seems the second most likely so far.
"bugged out" can mean crazy which is related to wired.
so BUG could be on the table.
Also bugs happen in software
I guess a LIMOUSINE has wires in it
@DJMcMayhem I guess that is a much mroe straightforward connection lol
I'm ok to start guessing. COPPER > STRING first.
COPPER
21:27
COPPER is Blue
STRING
STRING is Blue
!board
!board
21:27
oh man, I want it to be PILOT STICK and DINOSAUR so bad.
anyways
we have BUG and LIMO up for consideration.
IRON? Like an ironing board?
Or the iron itself. Good thinking.
Those...look like the most likely to me.
21:30
@Rubiksmoose That's what I was trying to say, but I couldn't remember what it's called lol
It's really just "an Iron"?
PILOT could be something related to autopilot of just piloting in general I suppose.
or a Honda Pilot (car)
Or perhaps a pilot light?
I don't like PILOT as much
Sure.
I don't either.
BUG > LIMO >IRON
WiRed is an experimental radio-band technology that uses the power of monthly fee supercomputers to increase your WiFi speed just a teeny bit and it needs custom firmware, but it's totally worth it.
@Rubiksmoose I like that, but I have one last thought
Is it possibly... Like wired limbs? In a figurine or something?
21:33
Heading out, good luck, John!
gg, everyone.
@DJMcMayhem what would that lead yo uto?
I'm not sure. Dinosaur?
ah like the bones in a museum wired together?
!leave
RED: HTM, John Dvorak
21:35
Seems possible, but I think I like the others more.
Maybe, or like kid's toys that have wire limbs
I'm just wondering if there's some meaning other than "having wires"
You get wired when you are on drugs.
@Hosch250 Do you usually try helping the other team this much ;)
Not that I hadn't thought of it already but...
Yeah, nothing seems related to that meaning
It seems you've never heard of the Dancing Dino then...
basically speed on speed
21:36
BUG > LIMO > IRON sounds good to me. I can't see anything else
@DJMcMayhem Except maybe DANCE which I've been eyeing. Like a RAVE.
But I think it's too much of a stretch.
Let's go for it.
BUG is Red
That's too bad.
It is now Red's turn
I think we'll be lucky if we have these right.
21:37
Aww dang

Red: Laundry (1)
Whoa
IRON
IRON is Red
Man, we had two wrong
21:38

Codenames 2019-12-10

Start time: 12:50 PM

RED: HTM, John Dvorak, Hosch250
BLUE: Mithical, Rubiksmoose
RED goes first!

Seed: 16475758
Red: WIND, IRON, PIE, TURKEY, LINK, BUG, MOON, DIAMOND, KEY
Blue: LIMOUSINE, PILOT, STRING, COPPER, BEACH, DANCE, SHIP, PRINCESS
Yellow: LION, BOOM, SWING, ANTARCTIC, HOLLYWOOD, PAN, STICK
Black: DINOSAUR

Immediately I saw WIND + IRON + LINK + MOON + BUG for “Legend of Zelda,” but PRINCESS currently blocks that. We’ll see if that gets cleared or not.
TURKEY + PIE = “Thanksgiving,” might hit PAN but not as strong.
Hmm, we did consider both of the right ones PILOT & DANCE
HTM
HTM
Took a little less than 50 mins
I could've made "Legend of Zelda" a 6!
21:40
16475758

LIMOUSINE, PILOT, STRING, COPPER, BEACH, DANCE, SHIP, PRINCESS.

Assassin: DINOSAUR.

"transportation" - LIMO, PILOT, SHIP

"mermaid" - BEACH, SHIP, PRINCESS. Risks HOLLYWOOD, maybe DIAMOND.

Red gets 2/2 for their first clue.

(gives "mermaid" clue)

DJ sees all three immediately.

HOLLYWOOD also suggested, DANCE half-considerd.

PRINCESS down. BEACH down.

And SHIP down.

Remaining words: LIMOUSINE, PILOT, STRING, COPPER, DANCE.

...wow. Red pulls out a (5). O.O

Maybe "drivers"? LIMO + PILOT + STRING... but since they know me technical connection are unlikely to be made.
@HTM I think BOOM and SWING were more likely to me than BUG though
HTM
HTM
@Rubiksmoose High risk, high reward, and besides those were both Yellow so all I'd have to do is anti-clue them with a 0
@Mithical D'Arvit?
> that's supposed to lead to DANCE
I need to listen to my gut more I guess.
4
Q: What does D'Arvit mean?

Rand al'ThorD'Arvit is the most commonly used Gnommish word in the Artemis Fowl series. We know it's a swear word from the first time it's introduced: “D’Arvit!” growled Root. (There is no point translating that word as it would have to be censored.) -- Artemis Fowl, Chapter 5: Missing in Action (em...

21:43
GG everyone.
...if anyone knows a better way to clue LIMO + PILOT + DANCE + COPPER + STRING, please let me know...
@HTM Seriously though, there's no way that would have worked with BOAT and PRINCESS being off the board. Things worked out perfectly for you! And you took that opportunity very cleverly.
@Mithical I suppose your 4+1 idea had the most chance of success because it avoided red FPs
Not necessarily, BUG would still have been considered
HTM
HTM
@Rubiksmoose Sometimes the stars/words just align in your favor ;-)

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in our words."
@HTM It would have been scary if those had been Red though.

@Mithical Isn't that the quote that inspired that John Green novel?

MASS CHARGE
STATE?
STATE
SCIENTIST
VACUUM
PITCH lol
21:54
PITCH--
I'd say MASS and CHARGE for sure.
and SCIENTIST
actually...
There's a lot of good ones lol
it was "physics" not "physicist"
So MASS > CHARGE > VACUUM > STATE > SCIENTIST
Same except PITCH ~ SCIENTIST
21:57
Why pitch? I don't think of pitch having anything to do with physics. Unless you're thinking of acoustics?
Indeed I am.
Acoustics was the focus for my undergrad physics degree ;)
Oh, that's really cool!
Do you work with something related to acoustics/sound?
@DJMcMayhem kind of. Though right now, more focus on vibration.
I'd be happy guessing the first 4
Let's do it.
