ping me if a game starts
16:38
o/
or 0/ actually
I have time
@Mithical what does your wave mean
"O/" = want to SM
"@/" - no preference between SMing or guessing
"0/" - would prefer to guess but can SM
"o/" - can guess but not SM
"./" - can guess but only with another player on the team
6
What's between ./ and o/?
Whaddya mean?
I can guess alone, but I'm crap at it
As in... ./ because I'm in the middle of something else and might be AFK
16:41
ah
0/
0/
like i said, ping me if a game starts
Alright.
0/
@HTM
if you're wondering why I didn't guess TRIP yesterday, it's because I actually didn't see that it was there
and I forgot what happened when I clued Epona myself
although I remember Avi being more familiar with the goddess she's named after than the fictional horse

ping me if a game starts
@JohnDvorak @cairdcoinheringaahing @Mithical @HTM anyone?
cool, now we just need one more
Ok, now we need someone else to SM
I have time for once

BLUE goes first!
@Quintec you still here
@JohnDvorak @Quintec
and Quintec is gone
We can't play now
17:50
Blue: Maginot(2)
He left, John
We can just wait until someone else joins
Two SMs, one guesser?
I asked Rubio
Yeah, I could guess for both teams if no one else joins
17:52
Rubio's up for a round
‘lo folks
Haven’t played this in ages
welcome
!join
Hi Rubio, you'll be joining team red!
RED: ThePuzzlingPlatypus, caird coinheringaahing
Hi Rubio, you'll be joining team blue!
BLUE: John Dvorak, Quintec, Rubio
Uhoh
!leavered Rubio
RED: ThePuzzlingPlatypus, caird coinheringaahing
Fixed it
!who
17:56
Blue currently has 3 guesses remaining.
!leave quintec
!leaveblue Quintec
BLUE: John Dvorak,
Wait, what?
!joinblue Rubio
BLUE: John Dvorak, Rubio
Ok we all good now?
17:58
yes
@Rubio, Your clue was maginot(2)
whatever that means
right @John
Oh sorry I missed blue had already clued
LINE
LINE is Blue
FRANCE
FRANCE is Blue
17:59
PASS
PASS doesn't appear to be on the board...
Oh
[PASS]
bold brackets lowercase
Lol
18:00
Doesn't have to be lowercase :P
Been a while
This should work: [PASS]
[pass]
18:02
Hi El'endia Starman, you'll be joining team red!
RED: ThePuzzlingPlatypus, caird coinheringaahing, El'endia Starman
Red: Indiana Jones (2)
HOLLYWOOD and TEMPLE?
Yeah, I like those
Any others before I make the guesses?
Nothing as good as those
18:04
HOLLYWOOD
HOLLYWOOD is Red
TEMPLE is Red
18:05
Why does Blue have more words to guess, anyway?
blue: Sock(3)
Blue went first
SHOE
SHOE is Blue
SLIP
SLIP is Blue
18:08
[pass]
That was a 3, you missed a word
I did what I intended
Red: Construction worker (2)
DRILL for sure, and I think HOLE is the second.
18:15
Yeah, I was looking at those as well
Any objections to me guessing them?
Gas, or Sub might work as really tenuous connections, but yeah, go with Drill, and Hole
I saw GAS too. That'll be in the backlog if need be.
DRILL
DRILL is Red
18:16
HOLE is Blue
I feel for you.
It is now Blue's turn
GAS it is then. :P
I saw HOLE for sock but didn’t like it enough to guess it hehe
blue: Music school(2)
PIANO
PIANO is Blue
18:18
PUPIL
PUPIL is Blue
[pass]
gg
Red: flatulence (0)
Lol
18:19
Guess its not Gas
So what's related to Construction Worker then?
Could be SUB because subcontractors. Could be SATELLITE or TELESCOPE because both are built. None of the others feel like good connections.
Ya know. ... mercury, for the contaminated products they are tearing out, or the fancy bulbs they’re putting in. String, for the plumb line they use. Sub-contractors. Or the bill they send when they’re done.
Could be STRING for plumb lines.
18:22
I'm good to go with whatever you like
@Rubio I don't want to shush a mod, but you're on the other team
What if we just guess GAS and put ourselves out of our misery? :P
So BUTTON it up and SPELL out your guesses.
SUB is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn
18:23
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I’m completely allowed to kibitz :)
blue: Fog(2)
caird and John are both very good at trolling
Fog??
18:26
There a clouds in the Alps, and that's basically Fog
DRAGONs appear ominously from the fog.
Hawks have builtin fog machines in their tails
@cairdcoinheringaahing don't even pretend that's not awesome
SATELLITEs help clear away the fog of war.
FOREST
18:29
FOREST is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn
fog. Oof.
So you're saying...there's a chance.
yeeAASSSS
Red: machine (2)
18:31
SATELLITE and TELESCOPE, I guess?
Is there something on the board that's obviously a construction machine that we've missed?
I like Satellite, not Telescope
It doesn't really work with Construction Worker
I can't see it
Many machines used in construction run on gas
@JohnDvorak try again
18:33
@JohnDvorak Isn't that the private link, not the secret link?
You shared the private link not the secret link
That's one for the starboard
@cairdcoinheringaahing Not that I can see. I feel like STRING might be the remaining construction worker word.
18:34
Spot the player on mobile.
What about Button?
BUTTON is plausible, yeah.
BUTTON and one of SATELLITE/TELESCOPE, then?
Machines have buttons
I mean, I think both of the latter are machines, so...
18:35
Satellite > Button > Telescope
Worth a shot.
SATELLITE
SATELLITE is Red
BUTTON is Black (assassin!).
Game over. Blue wins!
no finalboard, please
18:36
Red: SATELLITE HOLLYWOOD BILL TEMPLE DRILL TELESCOPE ALPS STRING
Blue: HOLE SLIP PIANO SHOE LINE FRANCE PUPIL SPELL GAS
Yellow: FOREST HAWK MERCURY SUB GRASS DRAGON TOOTH
Black: BUTTON

I see nothing
SATELLITE + TELESCOPE = Space (2), but that could hit MERCURY.

Maginot(2) clued. FRANCE and LINE apparently intended. Now that I think about it, that sounds
familiar, but I forget what it is

Are TELESCOPES "machines," per se?
Got it. HOLLYWOOD + TEMPLE = Indiana Jones (2)

El'endia gets it immediately.
aw common, Shiro...
cracks knuckles And that's how it's done :P
20191215
Low on players but we have enough
Blue words: Hole, Slip, Piano, Shoe, Line, France, Pupil, Spell, Gas
Black: button

Sock theme might potentially work with Slip and Shoe.
Maginot for a quickie Line / France? France is an odbball methinks. Way to avoid Alps/R. Playing.
A third match would be... If I knew a way to add Hole, Slip into the set, but I don't know enough detail...
My guesser has left. Maginot(2) posted already.
Got a new guesser. Not for long though, I've heard
Piano + Pupil = Music school.
18:37
I was going for DRILL/BILL, but couldn't just say "rhyme"
and I wasn't sure if telescopes were machines or not
Also I wanted to post this a few minutes ago
Fog isn’t actually gas. And after flatulence(0) with 5 remaining I was more than concerned GAS might be black.
> "Troll! Troll in the Codenames room!"
water vapor is gas Rubio
But it technically isn't.
18:39
IT's the gas phase of water
Yeah. It’s not. Hehe
Steam is a gas. Water vapor is liquid suspended in air.
fog is water suspended in air
oh
I was a physics major, and I did not know that
They are pretty synonymous for many/most people. Especially because of things like tea kettles.
18:40
I could SM again, but I really don't want to
I actually gotta run anyway
I like this hat though
@Rubio Good game though
Have fun gang
18:40
When a tea kettle is whistling, it's steam escaping, which is invisible and will burn you, but that steam turns into water vapor which is visible.
to me vapor = gas
Good ol' English...
vapor is gas.
What steam turns into is ... fog?
Fair point, vapor pressure is a thing.
Water vapor, water vapour or aqueous vapor is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Water vapor is transparent, like most constituents of the atmosphere. Under typical atmospheric conditions, water vapor is continuously generated by evaporation and removed by condensation. It is less dense than most of the other constituents of air and triggers convection currents that can lead to clouds. Being a component of Earth's hydrosphere and hydrologic cycle...
In fact, vapor = anything evaporated
18:43
Well, I guess that settles it. So what's the difference between steam and water vapor? Temperature?
steam would be hot water vapor methinks
Oh hey, from one of our very on SE sites:
2
Q: What is the difference between vapour and steam?

Puskar ChhetriWhat is the difference between vapour and steam? These two terms seemingly are similar but have different meanings. trying to define these two gets us a similar definition which is not actually true I tried to think over it but could not.

gaseous phase of water
first sentence of that wikipedia article
also cf. vaporization (active process) vs. evaporation (passive process)
also what John said
18:45
> In general, a vapour refers to the gas phase of a substance below critical temperature.
I can live with this.
I might've lost, but that is the funniest clue i've ever given
I can live with that
I'd tell you the best one, but that might happen again
Which one? I do wish I could have given my Whoosh(2) clue.
Chang'e (2) for China and Moon
either o/ or '0'/
Like i said, I could but dont' want to
so hopefully someone else wants to
but I have time if not
Hmm. Got some coding I want to do. ./
Where's @DJMcMayhem? I wanted to ask him a question
@DJMcMayhem Whenever you see this, how does one actually go about creating a new programming language? If anyone else here has done that, you can answer too
18:49
ping me if game
me too
I'm able to do either thing
0/
also @John, for someone who prefers not to SM, you end up doing it a lot
but also ping me if there's a game
not many other volunteers
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I can answer that, but not in this room :P
@cairdcoinheringaahing why not?
18:51
Because its not on topic here
@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I've done this as well. But also, not the best room for this. :P (I'd suggest The Nineteenth Byte or Primes and Squares.)
Ok thanks guys
heading to that first one
19:07
O/
o/ or 0/ depending

It is now Blue's turn
I have an idea what it might have been, but i'm probably wrong
19:27
Blue: insect (2)
Neither WORMS nor TICKS are insects, so I'll see if I can find something better
Nope, nothing better
WORM
WORM is Blue
Sharks are famously insects
TICK is Blue
19:28
but yeah, worms are annelids, and ticks are arachnids like spiders
[pass]
