@cairdcoinheringaahing Well, they were famous for drawing their swords and doing seppuku back in the day.

HTM

But not horse-drawing

caird coinheringaahing

Comic > Egypt > Slip > Figure > Japan > Parachute > Horse

HTM

Good with FIGURE and COMIC?

caird coinheringaahing

@HTM Yeah, that's why I'm not sure about it

HTM

COMIC

Shiro

21:00

COMIC is Red

caird coinheringaahing

Not with Figure, how does it relate to drawing?

HTM

Like nude figures

caird coinheringaahing

Ehhh...

HTM

Or those wooden figures you see in art shops to help you practice anatomy

caird coinheringaahing

It's not as sure as Slip or Egypt in my book

HTM

21:01

OK, fine with both anyway, so we can give it a shot

EGYPT

Shiro

EGYPT is Red

HTM

SLIP

Shiro

SLIP is Red

caird coinheringaahing

Figure?

HTM

Good with FIGURE or wanna try another “Location”?

caird coinheringaahing

21:02

Nah, if we're right with Japan, Mith can clue us there next turn

HTM

Ok, let’s see...

caird coinheringaahing

Figure would be the third for this clue

HTM

FIGURE

Shiro

FIGURE is Red
You are out of guesses. It is now Blue's turn

HTM

Neato!

caird coinheringaahing

21:03

Very nice

Shiro

HTM

So only backlog are two “Locations,” presumably STADIUM and TOKYO

Maybe HOOD

caird coinheringaahing

The fact that Mith saw we had multiple options, and only gave us 1 extra guess makes me slightly suspicious

Hosch250

Maybe stadium for vegetation. They are well-known for their well-groomed playing fields.

HTM

I mean, the alternative would be a highly risky unlimited

Rubiksmoose

21:04

@Hosch250 oh that's an interesting idea

caird coinheringaahing

@HTM Not really risky. We saw Figure, Comic and Slip almost immediately, and then would've guessed 3 more words

It would've been a guaranteed +4, and possibly +2 if we chose correct for the second Location words

HTM

@cairdcoinheringaahing Hmm, we’ll see if that conjecture’s true or not next turn

John Dvorak

blue: Lander(4)

caird coinheringaahing

Snowmen are widely known to be the first to land on the Moon

Rubiksmoose

PARACHUTE, ENGINE, CHAIR ....

Hosch250

21:08

Parachute and engine.

Rubiksmoose

FOOT

Hosch250

Less certain about chair and foot, but they're my second choice ATM.

With cycle as my third.

(Short for bicycle.)

Rubiksmoose

@Hosch250 go for these and we'll see

Hosch250

parachute

Shiro

PARACHUTE is Blue

Hosch250

21:09

engine

Shiro

ENGINE is Blue

Hosch250

Chair > foot?

Rubiksmoose

I like it.

Hosch250

chair

Shiro

CHAIR is Red
When will you learn?
It is now Red's turn

Hosch250

21:10

/shrug

Shiro

HTM

Ouch... but thanks

Hosch250

So, 1 vegetation and 2 landers.

Rubiksmoose

oh LOCK

maybe airlock

if we're thinking only of the lunar lander

so FOOT LOCK

Mithical

Red: container (unlimited)

HTM

21:11

@Rubiksmoose FOOT + LOCK = “Shoe store”

Rubiksmoose

lol

HTM

PLASTIC containers containing ICE CREAM

caird coinheringaahing

Plastic, Ice Cream, Lock

Hosch250

@HTM Cliff climbing.

caird coinheringaahing

@Hosch250 If John climbs

Hosch250

21:12

The "foot lock" is a technique to climb a rope that takes your weight off your arms.

HTM

I guess you can call a STADIUM a container for people

caird coinheringaahing

Shipping containers -> Tokyo

HTM

I think PLASTIC and ICE CREAM for “Container,” leaves us with the locations

caird coinheringaahing

Plastic > Tokyo > Ice Cream > Lock

I like Ice Cream, but it is a bit tenuous

HTM

Id start with the “Container” words first, since we may be on the wrong track with our locations

And remember we still have two locations left

Unless CHAIR somehow was for that

caird coinheringaahing

21:14

Yeah, I have no idea on the third location

HTM

PLASTIC

Shiro

PLASTIC is Red

caird coinheringaahing

Stadium and Hood are the only ones that fit

And I have no idea which I like better :/

HTM

I like TOKYO and STADIUM

Mostly because I don’t think Mith’s the kind of person to immediately think of street slang

caird coinheringaahing

Where does Ice Cream fit in that ranking?

HTM

21:15

Probavky next up for me

But I’m fine with playing some “Location” words too if that’s what you prefer

caird coinheringaahing

@HTM Chu saying fam? Wa'gwan Mith tight y'hear?

@HTM Ice Cream next is fine with me

HTM

Ok, don’t murder us, Mith!

ICE CREAM

Shiro

ICE CREAM is Red

HTM

All right, down to the locations

caird coinheringaahing

Tokyo then Stadium?

HTM

21:17

!board

Shiro

caird coinheringaahing

If we aren't sure about Stadium, it'll be 1 v 4 for next round

HTM

@cairdcoinheringaahing Sure, I think they’re both ours anyway, so doesn’t matter what order we play

Or at the very least safe

caird coinheringaahing

Tokyo is stronger than Stadium

Location wise that is

HTM

All right, I’ll do that then

Here goes again...

TOKYO

Shiro

21:18

TOKYO is Red

HTM

STADIUM

Shiro

STADIUM is Red

Rubiksmoose

HTM

Yay!

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah, if Tokyo wasn't Red, I'd doubt Mith's cluing abilities :P

John Dvorak

21:18

By the luck of a draw, we're back to John vs Mith. This time I have two guessers vs one.

Blue words: Parachute, Life, Grass, Engine, Bugle, Hole, Foot, Cotton
Black: Snowman

Thankfully a round where the assassin appears to be largely inconsequential... at first sight at least.
Mith isn't the one to go insane when cluing, HTM.
BRB.

I'm back. Red is still thinking. I really hate my words. HTM BRBs.

Cotton and Grass are Vegetation. Better way to avoid Maple?

Red plays Location(3) for Egypt, Toky, Stadium. Cliff/Y also seen. 'Hood/y also seen.

!finalboard

John Dvorak

Shiro

Mithical

343271580

EGYPT, PLASTIC, ICE CREAM, SLIP, FIGURE, COMIC, CHAIR, STADIUM, TOKYO.

Hmm.

TOKYO + COMIC + FIGURE?? = "manga"

TOKYO + STADIUM = "olympics"

"model" = FIGURE, PLASTIC, COMIC?, CHAIR? - risks LIFE, FOOT.

I'll start things off with "location" - TOKYO, EGYPT, STADIUM. CLIFF has a chance, but eh, it's yellow. TOKYO and EGYPT should be obvious, in any case.

(gives "location" clue)

ah yes guess EGUPT and TOMYO, lovely

HOOD is yellow, so whatever.

caird doesn't like STADIUM. *rolls eyes*

Hosch250

HTM

21:19

@Mithical ...I think you need some rest

John Dvorak

@HTM it was you who said Tokyo is country

HTM

@JohnDvorak I dunno, I was thinking “political entities” but “Country” was the closest I could come to that

caird coinheringaahing

And guessed Cliff before either of the locations

Mithical

@HTM *blinks innocently*

caird coinheringaahing

Still can't get over that

HTM

21:21

Hey, CLIFF is also technically a location!

caird coinheringaahing

@Mithical I was just being cautious - I always kept Tokyo on the back burner :P

@HTM If you have to add "technically", I think my point has been made :P

Mithical

If you haven't heard from HTM in ten minutes, I've killed him and am hiding the body.

Hosch250

Ggs. TTYL!

HTM

Nah, screw that, CLIFF is a location

Hosch250

I'll probably be around to SM some this weekend.

Mithical

21:22

\o Hosch

Rubiksmoose

@Mithical lol

I'm out

GGs everyone

HTM

in Contact, 2 days ago, by HTM

...Mith, I don't know if you're the world's greatest genius or if you need to go to the hospital

See ya!

Maybe replace “hospital” with “insane asylum”

Hosch250

@HTM Are you trying to get murdered?

Mithical

21:24

0/

HTM

@Hosch250 Don’t worry, it’s not like they know where I go to college or whatever!

Oh wait...

caird coinheringaahing

We could move to Spyfall/Contact

Mithical

Spyfall > Contact

HTM

o\ - Contact

O/ - Spyfall

(My bad attempt at recreating the Drake meme)

Mithical

:/ - Contact
:D - Spyfall

caird coinheringaahing

21:28

Red: Spyfall
Black: Contact

Yellow: Zendo

Mithical

Green: Strupremum

John Dvorak

I wouldn't mind Zendo, actually, though I have no rules in planning

caird coinheringaahing

Haven't played Zendo in literally years
