@DJMcMayhem (I work in brake NVH fwiw. We measure noise and vibration to make sure your brakes don't kill your eardrums! I used to work for a speaker company though, Harmon Kardon where I was much more acoustically focused naturally.)

Red: athlete (2)

You can see athletes in a STADIUM
You can be a FAN of a particular athlete
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
@Rubiksmoose Cool! So, vehicular R&D sorta?
HTM
HTM
And athletes can be part of sports CLUBs
Rubiksmoose
Rubiksmoose
22:02
@DJMcMayhem Yup I'm in R&D for sure.
HTM
HTM
Was also considering SOLDIER because they're athletic, but the clue isn't an adjective
An athlete in baseball might PITCH
I'll try STADIUM first since I'm most confident about that
STADIUM
Shiro

STADIUM is Red

There's quite a few spectator sports related words, unfortunately

I'm at FAN > CLUB > PITCH >> SOLDIER right now
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
hmmmm
HTM
HTM
Though I have a feeling FAN + STADIUM have a better, more specific connection than just "Athlete"
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Yeah, like "sports (2)" or "spectate/spectator (2)".
I'm leaning most towards PITCH because of baseball pitchers.
Rubiksmoose
Rubiksmoose
@HTM "INDUSTRIAL AIR CONDITIONER" (yes, not legal I know)
HTM
HTM
PITCH + STADIUM could've been "Football/soccer"
Or the name of a football/soccer field
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
22:07
Not baseball?
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
On the other hand, Mith is in Israel, where I know a lot of people have to serve in the military, and presumably SOLDIERs have to be pretty athletic. Question here is whether Mith wants us to consider words from our perspective or theirs... :P
HTM
HTM
I guess soldiers qualify as athletes
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Or even FRANCE for a particular famous bicycle race...
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
@HTM Oh! You're PiIsNot3!
I was wondering who this newcomer is :P
HTM
HTM
SOLDIER + STADIUM could be a military demonstration
@DJMcMayhem Lol, you're not the only one who got confused
For a moment I was thinking "Who is this new user??" Then I clicked on your profile and all became clear ;-) — Stiv yesterday
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman

@DJMcMayhem Oh, that makes sense lol. I thought HTM was just a brand new person and didn't question it...

Honestly, I can't decide between all the one's we've mentioned so far
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
I'm leaning towards FRANCE now because PITCH + STADIUM could certainly be clued better.
HTM
HTM
I feel like FRANCE is a degree removed though, since you have to make the connection to Tour first
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
It is, yeah.
HTM
HTM
OK, process of elimination time
PITCH and FAN could've been clued better
SOLDIER is tenuous
FRANCE is a degree removed
So that leaves just CLUB
...on the other hand, Mith knows a bit of baseball, so maybe PITCH was intended?
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
I dunno if I've ever heard of e.g "athletic clubs". I feel like those tend to have different names.
Mith is also an avid cyclist, which points towards FRANCE.
HTM
HTM
22:14
A golfer uses clubs
Argh, can't decide!
I think the best move is to just pass and hope it doesn't put us too behind
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
I'm okay with that plan. Pass.

If that was really a typo we could double pass to fix it

So SPOT and AZTEC
in Pirates of the Caribean I think the treasure was Aztec gold.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Why Aztec?
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
@DJMcMayhem Especially for your parser. :)
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Hmm
@El'endiaStarman Lol
Rubiksmoose
Rubiksmoose
22:26
Also kind of a go-to place for pirate treasure in stories.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Oh, actually that's even worse than I thought because the transcript shows the edited version... >_>
Rubiksmoose
Rubiksmoose
@DJMcMayhem We can edit it though.
and clean up the comments so it works for the parser technically if we wanted.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
But it exposes the larger problem of "what happens if a game-message is edited"
Rubiksmoose
Rubiksmoose
@DJMcMayhem anyways what think ye about the clue?
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Y'arr
Rubiksmoose
Rubiksmoose
22:28
SPOT AZTEC PITCH SCIENTIST
pick two lol
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Is PITCH like tar or something that they would use on a ship?
Rubiksmoose
Rubiksmoose
@DJMcMayhem Actually, yes. Old timey ships do use pitch I think! Nice thinking.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
But if it is PITCH, does that mean we're done guessing for PHYSICS?
Rubiksmoose
Rubiksmoose
hmmm, maybe?
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
It's probably not PITCH and AZTEC/SPOT
It may or may not be PITCH and SCIENTIST (maybe if PITCH was unintended for Physics)
Rubiksmoose
Rubiksmoose
22:30
If it's PITCH we may just want to pass because we're unsure.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
And also up by 4. I'd be OK with that
Rubiksmoose
Rubiksmoose
If it's not...then that at least clears some things up.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Yeah, if it's not I'm feeling AZTEC > SCIENTIST

@DJMcMayhem Well, we can't win no matter what we do. I say we pass and hope that they can give us a 2 clue. Or, if they want us to guess and we are right with SPOT/AZTEC they can give us 1 and we'd have a 50/50 shot.

CLUB
HTM

...ok then
Yep, CLUB probably
And that might have been our "Athlete" word
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
possibly?
HTM
HTM
SOLDIERs undergo strenuous workouts
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Agreed on SOLDIER.
You can SPOT people as they're e.g. weightlifting.
HTM
HTM

Perhaps, but I'm wary of that cause it might be Blue
El'endia Starman

Cause we mentioned both CLUB and SOLDIER for "Athlete"
Rubiksmoose

@HTM dooooo it ;)
HTM

And our SM isn't the kind to be overlapping words when down big
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
There's no way we can win this turn, so we should take that into consideration.
HTM
HTM
Perhaps the intended "Athlete" word was neither CLUB nor SOLDIER, but one of the others we suggested?
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
FRANCE?
HTM
HTM
22:41
FRANCE or FAN
Again, I feel FRANCE is a bit removed, so I'm leaning FAN
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
And FAN is problematic because FAN + STADIUM could've been clued better.
HTM
HTM
And I don't see any better "Workout" words than SPOT
@El'endiaStarman Watch them both be ours hehe
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Supposing that our SM's brain is a bit wonky because it's late, SPOT > FAN > FRANCE?
HTM
HTM
I'm OK with that
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
do it
HTM
HTM
22:43
Wait, I just wanna make sure we're not missing anything else for "Workout"
Since SPOT might be for "Davy Jones"
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
They guessed SUB, TRUNK, PITCH, BERMUDA for that clue.
HTM
HTM
I feel like PITCH was the "Physics" word though
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Alright then, FRANCE > FAN > SPOT?
Sorry, being a bit sneaky there, FAN > FRANCE > SPOT. :P
HTM
HTM
I'll play FAN, and if it works out we'll deliberate more about "Workout"
FAN

Blue, first

Blue words: Mass, Sub, Vacuum, Trunk, Undertaker, Pitch, Bermuda, Charge, Fan

Mass, Vacuum, Charge, Pitch = Physics. State red, Scientist yellow.
Playing.
Mass seen. Charge seen. State/R seen. Scientist/Y seen. Vacuum seen. Pitch seen. Pitch disliked.
I didn't expect State to be so popular :(
Scientist deconsidered because the clue wasn't Physicist. Gotta get to the mindset of actually using "Physicist" in cases like this.
Acoustics is part of physics, indeed. Oooh, Rubik's major. (Also, BTW, inclined planes, screws, roofs...)
Mithical

STATE, AZTEC, CHECK, STADIUM, CLUB, SOLDIER, FRANCE, SNOW.

Assassin: CASINO.

This is a hard board, for me at least...

STATE + AZTEC + "mexico"

STADIUM + CLUB (+ CHECK)? = "athlete"

SOLDIER + STATE + "military"

...I'm pretty sure Rubiks is a physicist, so you better know what you're talking about here

And STATE donated.

"athlete" is likely to hit PITCH (baseball), so only playing it for 2.

Remaining words: AZTEC, CHECK, STADIUM, CLUB, SOLDIER, FRANCE, SNOW.

(gives "athlete" clue, for 2)

Black Spot (Treasure Island)
The Black Spot is a literary device invented by Robert Louis Stevenson for his novel Treasure Island (serialized 1881–82, published as a book in 1883). In the book, pirates are presented with a "black spot" to officially pronounce a verdict of guilt or judgement. It consists of a circular piece of paper or card, with one side blackened while the other side bears a message and placed in the hand of the accused. It was a source of much fear because it meant the pirate was to be deposed as leader, by force if necessary—or else killed outright. In Treasure Island, Billy Bones is much frightened by...
