Red: Thanksgiving (2)

Hosch250

Well, that's pie.

And turkey.

Unless, for example, your family has link sausage and bug legs...

Rubiksmoose

@JohnDvorak ping pong

Hosch250

Maybe dino chops?

John Dvorak

Turkey great

Hosch250

turkey

Shiro

20:58

TURKEY is Red

John Dvorak

Turkey drumsticks would be a thing. No idea about pies.

Hosch250

Everyone has pumpkin pie on thanksgiving.

It's much better than turkey.

John Dvorak

Go for it then

Hosch250

pie

PIE is Red

Beach, ship, princess?

Rubiksmoose

SHIP, PRINCESS<

BEACH is good too

DJMcMayhem

Maybe hollywood? I like that less

Hosch250

Well, historically, didn't they dance through the waves under the moon?

Rubiksmoose

I know you're joking but DANCE is a possibility lol

DJMcMayhem

Maybe PAN as in Peter Pan

Rubiksmoose

21:01

I don't think it's super likely though.

Hosch250

@Rubiksmoose Yep, joking here.

Mithical

...

Hosch250

Thanks for cleaning it up :)

DJMcMayhem

I think PRINCESS > BEACH > Not sure between PAN/SHIP > DANCE

Rubiksmoose

@DJMcMayhem I'm good with going with those first two and seeing where we're at.

DJMcMayhem

21:04

OK, I'll guess 'em

PRINCESS

Shiro

PRINCESS is Blue

DJMcMayhem

BEACH

Shiro

BEACH is Blue

Rubiksmoose

hmmm

DJMcMayhem

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

Rubiksmoose

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.

DJMcMayhem

Yeah, that too

Rubiksmoose

I'm good with going for SHIP.

DJMcMayhem

SHIP

Shiro

SHIP is Blue

DJMcMayhem

Nice!

!who

Shiro

Red currently has 6 guesses remaining.

Hosch250

Dang, never played that game, LOL.

Key, though?

DJMcMayhem

OK, just double checking that italics doesn't mess anything up

Hosch250

Link for sure.

Rubiksmoose

21:08

Red SM is super happy we got rid of PRINCESS and SHIP I'll bet lol

Hosch250

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.

DJMcMayhem

Fingers crossed that John hasn't played them either

Hosch250

@JohnDvorak

John Dvorak

Link for sure

Hosch250

link

Shiro

21:11

LINK is Red

John Dvorak

Windwaker is one of the games, so WIND

Hosch250

wind

Shiro

WIND is Red

John Dvorak

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

Hosch250

Feel free to play anything from here. Although I like Key better than Diamond.

John Dvorak

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

Hosch250

I like that.

John Dvorak

MOON

Shiro

MOON is Red

John Dvorak

Also, yes, the blood moon in Breath of the Wild :P

Rubiksmoose

@Hosch250 ANYTHING is not on the board ;)

Hosch250

21:15

@Rubiksmoose If I were a mod, I'd force-rename you to Dad Joke.

John Dvorak

Boom arrows, perhaps. Not sure when in the series they appeared, but I do think they're called that.

KEY

Shiro

KEY is Red

John Dvorak

DIAMOND

Rubiksmoose

@Hosch250 Make it Dad Joke + Pun and you've basically given me the highest praise ;)

Shiro

DIAMOND is Red

Hosch250

21:16

@Rubiksmoose LOL.

DJMcMayhem

Holy crap

John Dvorak

That was five

DJMcMayhem

5/5

Hosch250

Wow, we got all 5 of them :D

John Dvorak

two to go

Great job, John!

John Dvorak

Points go to HTM

Rubiksmoose

Very nice y'all

I mean, it sucks for us but very nice all the same lol

Hosch250

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.

DJMcMayhem

21:19

@Hosch250 Tuxedo (2)

Rubiksmoose

@DJMcMayhem Very nice.

Hosch250

@DJMcMayhem I don't get that clue, but if they play that, we know what to guess.

Rubiksmoose

@Hosch250 (penguins)

Hosch250

Ohhh, LOL.

Nice.

Mithical

Blue: wired (5)

Rubiksmoose

21:22

ooo!

COPPER

DJMcMayhem

big breath OK

Yes, COPPER

STRING?

Rubiksmoose

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.

DJMcMayhem

Also bugs happen in software

I guess a LIMOUSINE has wires in it

Rubiksmoose

@DJMcMayhem I guess that is a much mroe straightforward connection lol

I'm ok to start guessing. COPPER > STRING first.

DJMcMayhem

COPPER

Shiro

COPPER is Blue

DJMcMayhem

STRING

STRING is Blue

DJMcMayhem

Shiro

21:27

Rubiksmoose

oh man, I want it to be PILOT STICK and DINOSAUR so bad.

anyways

DJMcMayhem

haha

Rubiksmoose

we have BUG and LIMO up for consideration.

DJMcMayhem

IRON? Like an ironing board?

Rubiksmoose

Or the iron itself. Good thinking.

Those...look like the most likely to me.

DJMcMayhem

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"?

Rubiksmoose

PILOT could be something related to autopilot of just piloting in general I suppose.

or a Honda Pilot (car)

DJMcMayhem

Or perhaps a pilot light?

I don't like PILOT as much

Rubiksmoose

Sure.

I don't either.

BUG > LIMO >IRON

John Dvorak

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.

DJMcMayhem

@Rubiksmoose I like that, but I have one last thought

Is it possibly... Like wired limbs? In a figurine or something?

Hosch250

21:33

Heading out, good luck, John!

gg, everyone.

Rubiksmoose

@DJMcMayhem what would that lead yo uto?

DJMcMayhem

I'm not sure. Dinosaur?

Rubiksmoose

ah like the bones in a museum wired together?

Hosch250

!leave

Shiro

RED: HTM, John Dvorak

Rubiksmoose

21:35

Seems possible, but I think I like the others more.

DJMcMayhem

Maybe, or like kid's toys that have wire limbs

I'm just wondering if there's some meaning other than "having wires"

Hosch250

You get wired when you are on drugs.

Rubiksmoose

@Hosch250 Do you usually try helping the other team this much ;)

Not that I hadn't thought of it already but...

DJMcMayhem

Yeah, nothing seems related to that meaning

John Dvorak

It seems you've never heard of the Dancing Dino then...

basically speed on speed

DJMcMayhem

21:36

BUG > LIMO > IRON sounds good to me. I can't see anything else

Rubiksmoose

@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.

DJMcMayhem

BUG

Shiro

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

Rubiksmoose

I think we'll be lucky if we have these right.

Shiro

DJMcMayhem

21:37

Aww dang

Rubiksmoose

Lol!

HTM

Red: Laundry (1)

John Dvorak

Whoa

IRON

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.

DJMcMayhem

Hmm, we did consider both of the right ones PILOT & DANCE

HTM

Took a little less than 50 mins

I could've made "Legend of Zelda" a 6!

Mithical

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.

Rubiksmoose

@HTM I think BOOM and SWING were more likely to me than BUG though

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

DJMcMayhem

@Mithical D'Arvit?

Rubiksmoose

> that's supposed to lead to DANCE

I need to listen to my gut more I guess.

Mithical

Q: What does D'Arvit mean?

D'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...

Rubiksmoose

21:43

GG everyone.

Mithical

...if anyone knows a better way to clue LIMO + PILOT + DANCE + COPPER + STRING, please let me know...

Rubiksmoose

@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.

John Dvorak

@Mithical I suppose your 4+1 idea had the most chance of success because it avoided red FPs

Mithical

Not necessarily, BUG would still have been considered

HTM

@Rubiksmoose Sometimes the stars/words just align in your favor ;-)

Mithical

SCIENTIST

Rubiksmoose

PITCH lol

DJMcMayhem

21:54

PITCH--

Rubiksmoose

I'd say MASS and CHARGE for sure.

and SCIENTIST

actually...

DJMcMayhem

There's a lot of good ones lol

Rubiksmoose

it was "physics" not "physicist"

DJMcMayhem

So MASS > CHARGE > VACUUM > STATE > SCIENTIST

Rubiksmoose

Same except PITCH ~ SCIENTIST

DJMcMayhem

21:57

Why pitch? I don't think of pitch having anything to do with physics. Unless you're thinking of acoustics?

Rubiksmoose

Indeed I am.

Acoustics was the focus for my undergrad physics degree ;)

DJMcMayhem

Oh, that's really cool!

Do you work with something related to acoustics/sound?

Rubiksmoose

@DJMcMayhem kind of. Though right now, more focus on vibration.

DJMcMayhem

I'd be happy guessing the first 4
