I just know it from everybody quoting it
I've never actually watched it, to be honest, I just know that line because my father quotes it
It's not just your dad, it's the entirety of pop culture since it came out
PAPER > LOCK > FOOT > FLY
Same; memetic knowledge sure is a thing.
I would put foot and fly above lock, because I'm not convinced it's not just the event
but unlimited means it was probably right anyway
so sure
18:01
Alright. Going for those, I suppose
Any objections?
nothing I haven't already said
PAPER
PAPER is Blue
LOCK
LOCK is Blue
18:02
FOOT
FOOT is Blue
FLY is Blue
...go for SEAL or no?
18:02
I'm inclined to pass
I don't want to risk it either
[pass]
well, gg
18:09
you still have a chance
Red: LARYNGITIS (2)
only a 2, ok now it's gg
Eh, you can still mess up on your turn. ;)
DOCTOR
DOCTOR is Red
18:10
SNOW
SNOW is Red
now, how do you cure the thing?
Neck isn't on the board
OIL
OIL is Red
You are out of guesses. It is now Blue's turn
THat was a random guess
I was gonna say "never take medicinal advice from me" but apparently you should :P
18:13
Blue: Europe (2)
ALPS and ROME
ROME, ALPS
ALPS
ALPS is Blue
18:14
ROME
ROME is Blue
I told you CHINA and ROME were blue
Wanna try for a last hurrah John? :P
I"m up for one more o/
18:14
nah
fine by me :)

Rematch as the Red SM up against DJ for Blue.

Red words: HIMALAYAS, CAR, OIL, SNOWMAN, PITCH, SINK, DOCTOR, SNOW
Blue words: FLY, STICK, ALPS, ROME, LOCK, CHINA, PAPER, FOOT, KNIFE
Yellow words: MOUNT, MINE, SEAL, KEY, RULER, MARBLE, STREAM
Assassin: RING

-

CAR + OIL = ENGINE (2).

Oh wow I have both SNOWMAN and SNOW. That's FROSTY (2) easy. Add HIMALAYAS for a (3) clue. Ah shoot, ALPS (blue) is on the board too. And MOUNT (yellow). Ohhhhh boyyyyy...

Quipping to DJ that the mountain words are making this hard for both of us. I'm considering leading with TIBET (1) to get HIMALA
Second round, hoping to make up for that abysmal last round.

BLUE: FLY STICK ALPS ROME LOCK CHINA PAPER FOOT KNIFE
RED: HIMALAYAS CAR OIL SNOWMAN PITCH SINK DOCTOR SNOW
BLACK: RING

Wow, red gets "car/oil" and "snow/snowman".

Also HIMALAYAS is red, ALPS is blue, and MOUNT is yellow lol.

ACROBATICS? Acrobats FLY through the air, STICK the landing (hopefully) on their FEET, and the CHINA is a country that participates in the Olympics. Maybe I should say "Olympic Acrobatics"? Hmm, how likely is that to hit RING? Probably too risky. Ooh, POLE VAULT! Drops the connection to CHINA, but makes s
18:15
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus True. My bad.
@JohnDvorak @El'endiaStarman Everest is on the border between Nepal and China
I thought so, thanks
I've only ever heard of people climbing up from Nepal, so...
18:15
@DJ The knife thing is from Crocodile Dundee
@El'endiaStarman Me too
@El'endiaStarman That's definitely more common
Gotta put in my laundry before the next game, so start without me and I'll join in a few minutes
> It's funny that TPP is right on my wavelength, and Mith thinks I'm more clever than I really am :D
Well. You could've gone for a (6), apparently :P
Lol
I hadn't considered MOUNT or LOCK
[searches Mount Everest on Google Maps] Oh wow, it really is right on the border between China and Nepal. Whoopsie...
18:18
*makes mental note "DJ isn't clever"* ;)
Hahaha

*cracks knuckles*
Hi ThePuzzlingPlatypus, you'll be joining team blue!
Red: graph (4)
18:22
BLUE: John Dvorak, DJMcMayhem, ThePuzzlingPlatypus
Easy : Look, at, and this
alllllrighty then
Thinking MODEL, PLOT, and.....hmm.
FILMs can be graphic.
WAVE graph might be a thing??
There's a lotta different kinds, so it wouldn't surprise me. Putting that fifth though. :P
Possibly ROSE, 'cause I think petal graphs are a thing. (At least, whatever those polar coordinate-based ones that look like flowers are called.)
PLOT
PLOT is Red
MODEL is Red
18:26
FILM
FILM is Blue
Uh... what?
It is now Blue's turn
@El'endiaStarman I haven't seen those polar coordinate graphs for at least 3 years
they cool tho
18:26
I was a physics major, but I've been out of college/university since 2016
and yes they are
Fun drawing them on one's calculator.
I remember messing with my graphing calculator drawing those
Waterfall graphs are a thing too, I think, which would suggest CLIFF.
I wonder if Mith is going "oh crap"... :P
No comment on that, I'm on the other team
I just have fond memories of those other graphs you mentioned
Flame graphs are a thing too, but I don't see anything on the board that would fit. Except ORANGE???
18:29
blue: Wind(2)
FLUTE for sure
@DJMcMayhem Do you see something else?
Yep, I was thinking that too
JET and ALPS both make sense to me
Let's start with FLUTE at least
18:30
FLUTE is Blue
random thought: These are terrible codenames
This game makes more sense without the theming
Perhaps WAVE?
Since I should have a backlog, I'm going with WAVE (unless Blue guesses it) > ROSE > STICK (stick figure and figure ~ graph?).
Did you mean to post that?
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Probably so that Mith knows what to expect
18:32
oh ok
You could argue that SHAKESPEARE had some long-winded characters. Polonius comes to mind
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Hilariously this is 100% true. People realized a few decades ago (WWI and WWII) that having code names for operations be related to the mission at all was a terrible idea.
No, I mean who would want to be agent flute?
Agent platypus, agent seal, agent shakespeare, those make sense
@El'endiaStarman What are you talking about?
♪ Perry the Platypus ♪
Never seen that show actually, just a few clips
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I'll look it up later.
18:35
I think I like JET most because of "jet stream"
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus It's brilliant. Especially Doof's character development.
I didn't think of that
JET it is then
JET is Blue
18:35
that was 2 right?
I am blue. :(
[pass]
18:36
@El'endiaStarman You're green to me... :)
> It all began on the day of my actual birth. Both of my parents failed to show up
@DJMcMayhem I've heard of THAT
@Mithical ba dum tiss :)
Also unpopular opinion: Real platypuses are cuter than perry
I probably wouldn't think that if I watched the show
and yes, that is the plural
Red: trees (3)
18:40
PALM
PALM is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn
[flips table]
ORANGE, AMAZON, and STICK were probably intended.
Also interesting to me that trees are also a type of graph in the mathematical sense.
blue: Gunfire(4)
is AMERICA on the board?
SOLDIER, LEAD
Maybe CAP (Pop a cap in someone)
18:45
That makes more sense
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus hahaha okay now I'm sad
Hey, I live here too
BOND? Does he use guns very much? I'm unfamiliar
Don't ask me, I don't know James Bond either
LEAD and SOLDIER for sure though
We'll start there
18:47
does MEXICO have gun problems too?
SOLDIER
SOLDIER is Blue
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I was contemplating that
Yes
LEAD
LEAD is Blue
Ok good, so that wasn't racist to think that
18:47
!board
I saw that documentary. Even Canada loves guns, they just kill animals instead of people with them most of the time
I'm leaning towards CAP > MEXICO > BOND
cap over mexico? I guess that makes sense
except Cap uses a shield
Not the cap I was thinking of
18:49
at least you understood that reference
*facePlatypus*
which is one of my favorite scenes in the MCU
@Mithical be careful, male ones are venomous
That last one is not a joke. That's actually a thing
cap>mexico>bond makes sense
I actually knew that one!
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Going for it
18:51
CAP
CAP is Black (assassin!).
Game over. Red wins!
I'm sorry
18:51
oooooooof
20191214
1v1
starting second
blue: Rose, Jet, Bond, Film, Flute, Lead, Soldier, Seal
black: Cap

Rose, Jet are colors, but so is Orange/R.

Red quickly starts off with a graph(4). Boy aren't I doing great today?
I have two guessers now.
Lead, Soldier, Seal, Bond = gun stuff. Amazon red so beware bows.
Model guessed. Film donated. Rose/B considered.
Now, bullet => cap is too strong of a connection to ignore...

Flute is an oddball. It's a wind instrument and Jetstream is a type of wind. Wind(2) seems like a good move.
oh, seal for navy seal
603164902

MODEL, PLOT, CLIFF, KANGAROO, ORANGE, STICK, WAVE, MEXICO, AMAZON.

Assassin: CAP.

"graph" - MODEL, PLOT, WAVE, and a slightly more tenuous CLIFF. SATELLITE is yellow. Should be fine.

(gives "graph" clue)

MODEL seen. PLOT seen.

"FILMs can be graphic." - it was "graph", not "graphic"...

"WAVE graph might be a thing??" - Sorta, yes. "Putting that fifth though" - 1.) ... 2.) you don't even have a fourth at the moment.

"Possibly ROSE, 'cause I think petal graphs are a thing." - never heard of that...
@JohnDvorak what were you intending with gunfire
My shield comment was a joke
Bond/Lead/Soldier/Seal
18:53
oh, I see it
as in Navy SEAL?
or as in the animal
yes, navy
That, unfortunately, is not the weapon I most associate with seals
Navy ones yes
@El'endiaStarman You got most of what I was going for.
Avi
Avi
the only thing I associate with seals
is SEAL CLUBBING
@Mithical Whew, not too bad...
18:54
Hi Avi
By the way, I looked it up and the "petal graphs" I was thinking of are literally called roses.
Interesting.
Navy seals use boats. And guns. And boats with guns on them.
Avi
Avi
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus hi, I was only here to comment about seal clubbing
I'm trying to get a hat
18:55
Hmm, I wonder how many times an assassin has been guessed
Luckily I have a database!
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus E.g. Operation Mincemeat.
I've seen a first-word assassin, even
...that was fun
18:59
gg
Gonna go do coding now. o\
I just checked: There are 30 times that Shiro has reported that an assassin was guessed
How many games?
Uhhhhh
It's only relatively recently that Shiro started reporting colors, though.
19:00
Still haven't parsed into games yet >_>
Many more times it has been backlogged, causing wasted turns for the spymaster
510 results for "!newgame"
(...recently enough that my local version of Shiro is still the old version)
(ignoring the most recent days I haven't scraped yet)
Any guesses for how many times Shiro has written "<word> is <color>"?
A cookie to the closest guess
2,799
19:03
5000
I'm sorry, I had to
I have no idea
so i felt like being "the jackass on the price is right who bets 1 dollar over the last guy"
All are too high
19:05
@DJMcMayhem *raises eyebrow*
Wow, really?
1,274
cookie -> Mith!
19:05
I'm probably missing the last... 2 weeks?
I'll add it to the long list of people in the US who owe me cookies :P
So it's more likely right around 2000
@Mithical Do you accept payment in Emoji? :P
nooo
Last day I have is November 26th

Maybe @DJMcMayhem is still around?
@Mithical and they say it gets colder?

It's early enough
Sorry, had to go switch my wash

@Mit @The @Hos Game is starting :)
Hi.
Thanks for the ping.
ok
I just got back upstairs
@HTM two things. 1. why the username change? 2. Your new avatar being white makes it really difficult to tell if you're active or not in a room
HTM
HTM
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus 1. You're a member of PSE, figure it out :) 2. Focus on the circles then, that might help
20:50
I joined so I could post riddles when I felt poetic
Lately I just use the account to play these chat games
blue: clothing(2)
someone unstar the red from the last game
DRESS
DRESS is Blue
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I gotchu fam
20:55
thanks
SHOE
SHOE is Blue
[pass]
also, how old do questions have to be for the werewolf hunter hat?
I finally have an excuse to go clean up the grammar on some old questions
also what does 7pm anywhere mean for hero of time? It's literally always 7:00 somewhere. I assume it means in your computer's timezone
Ooh, for "just jesting" I have an excuse to make pointless jokes in the comments. I love doing that
HTM
HTM
20:58
Still thinking...
Anyone know how to get that stereotypical Russian hat that @Avi is wearing?
