Rubiksmoose

21:00

Not entirely sure about BOLT

North

@El'endiaStarman Came up in contact once...? I thought mith might know

alternatively hot dog?

Rubiksmoose

There is such thing as a grass fire

TORCH > AUSTRALIA > GRASS/BOLT

North

i don't think grass

maybe pokemon but like unlikely

El'endia Starman

TORCH

Rubiksmoose

Wanna just go for TORCH and AUSTRALIA because we all agree on them?

Shiro

21:02

TORCH is Red

El'endia Starman

AUSTRALIA

Shiro

AUSTRALIA is Red

El'endia Starman

I vote BOLT for the third.

DJMcMayhem

@Shiro Too soon

North

idk

h wait im stupid

Fly

Rubiksmoose

21:03

I'm split. But I'll go with what y'all want.

North

as in

Firefly

Rubiksmoose

hm.

North

duh

is that allowed?

El'endia Starman

oooh fireFLY is a good one

Rubiksmoose

Sure

DJMcMayhem

21:04

@North Why wouldn't it be?

North

Mith always starts easier

El'endia Starman

*tries to remember if Mith was a big Firefly fan*

North

in the beginning

Rubiksmoose

But maybe we just pass for now? We can always come back to this one as a +1 later

North

I think firefly works

I mean like I said, Mith always starts pretty straightforward

@DJMcMayhem I thought there was a specific rule about like word properties i forgor

El'endia Starman

21:05

Yeah, I'll switch my vote to FLY. But I'm also good with Rubik's plan of passing and looking to get this as a +1 on a later clue.

DJMcMayhem

@North Yeah, the word "Firefly" would be an invalid clue because "fly" is on the board. But cluing fire to imply fly is fine

North

@El'endiaStarman That works too

I'm okay with either

It could be safer to just pass for now

Rubiksmoose

@North I might be alone here, but I'm not sure I see that as straightforward. But since you both like it you can go for it. My vote is for passing.

El'endia Starman

Alright then, passing if nobody has objections...

[pass]

Shiro

El'endia Starman

21:06

Go away Borg!

DJMcMayhem

That's not even the same board lol

El'endia Starman

No it isn't lol.

Mithical

Avi

Shiro: 'Your commands are a potato. Your guesses are weak. You seem to be on a losing streak.'

North

okay someone notify me when it's our turn

Rubiksmoose

will do

North

uhhh

hello?

Mithical

21:13

@John

John Dvorak

(thinking)

North

so

small talk

Mithical

*smiles, makes shushing motion at North and pats his head*

North

I'm a tree

How would you pat my head

Avi

"You're really bad", or so said Shiro: "Your guesses are worse than dividing by zero"

msh210

21:16

@North ₜₐₗₖ

North

hwo do you guys do that

Avi

depressed rhyming mindset today

North

like make different fonts

Mithical

Unicode.

msh210

@North I used the qaz.wtf tool

Avi

21:17

oof, I'm going to have to leave

some people are asking me to play Uno

North

plays jeopardy music

Avi

!leave

Shiro

BLUE: John Dvorak, msh210, DJMcMayhem

North

~~(you're lucky John)~~

msh210

@Avi some people are asking you to play Codenames, too, but, hey, apparently we don't count

Mithical

21:18

North

It's 2,1,5,3

Shiro

Mithical

first off that's not the command

msh210

21:20

hm, wrong command, what was it?

Mithical

second of all, it's the same image so it doesn't upload a second time

msh210

ah

DJMcMayhem

Navy SEALs?

msh210

assault and battery?

^ probably, actually

DJMcMayhem

Oh yeah, that's a good one

Slug as in punch, or a bullet?

msh210

21:22

@DJMcMayhem as in punch, yeah, it's basically a syn. of assault

DJMcMayhem

I don't know if I should be thinking of a tactical/military assault, or just "physically attacking"

I think I'm good with BATTERY > SLUG > SEAL

msh210

battery > slug > seal. I don't play D&D: is there such a thing as "assault dice"?

DJMcMayhem

No

msh210

ok then

DJMcMayhem

Not that I've ever heard of

msh210

21:24

guessing battery barring objection

DJMcMayhem

Go for it

msh210

battery

Shiro

BATTERY is Blue

msh210

& slug

DJMcMayhem

:thumbsup:

msh210

21:24

slug

Shiro

SLUG is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn

North

ooh

we back in the game

Mithical

Red: paddling (3)

North

ducks paddle, right?

and so do dogs

scuba divers?

seals?

Rubiksmoose

definitely DOG

North

21:26

seal?

El'endia Starman

Woo looked back here just in time.

North

would you say ducks?

Rubiksmoose

We good with DOG as a first guess?

El'endia Starman

DOG, SCUBA DIVER are my top two.

North

I think so

Rubiksmoose

21:27

DOG

Shiro

DOG is Red

North

Scuba diver?

El'endia Starman

They have paddles on their feet.

Rubiksmoose

I thought they were called flippers?

El'endia Starman

Not sure if DUCK or SEAL is the third.

Rubiksmoose

21:28

Both for ducks and divers

El'endia Starman

@Rubiksmoose Hmm, fair point, but the association is close...

Rubiksmoose

For sure.

SCUBA > DUCK > SEAL

North

scuba and idk

maybe seal?

When you say paddling, I associate duck more tho

I'd go with SCUBA>DUCK

SEAL

Rubiksmoose

@North Same

North

We also have fly we can use

El'endia Starman

21:29

Yeah, I'm leaning SCUBA > DUCK as well.

Rubiksmoose

Going for it?

North

alright

Rubiksmoose

SCUBA

Shiro

SCUBA doesn't appear to be on the board...

Rubiksmoose

:P

North

21:29

SCUBA DIVER

Rubiksmoose

SCUBA DIVER

Shiro

SCUBA DIVER is Red

El'endia Starman

We lost a guess.

North

duck?

oh :/

Rubiksmoose

!who

Shiro

21:30

Red currently has 1 guesses remaining.

North

sorry

DJMcMayhem

@El'endiaStarman That's OK, we can fix that if need be

If you don't hit a yellow and are planning on making a 4th guess, we'll just pass real quick

Rubiksmoose

Lets go with DUCK?

North

yea

Rubiksmoose

DUCK

Shiro

21:31

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

El'endia Starman

I think we're fine. :)

North

Alright

John Dvorak

Do you wish to make another guess?

Rubiksmoose

Yeah let's just pass.

North

we're good

I was impatient, that was my fault

Rubiksmoose

21:32

Nah, you're good. We didn't make it clear who was guessing.

I also thought that Shiro won't let you guess the same word twice.

North

So we agree that Rubiks will be making all the guesses

DJMcMayhem

@Rubiksmoose Shiro has a surprising lack of state

And by that I mean basically no state at all other than No. of guesses

El'endia Starman

@North Either that or the first person to make a guess in a turn makes later guesses.

North

okay

John Dvorak

blue: Nepal(0)

msh210

21:34

@El'endiaStarman Either that or that the person to guess is the person who least recently guessed.

:-)

Wait, sorry, we are or are not passing now?

DJMcMayhem

OK, so not himalayas.

Mithical

@msh210 You are not.

DJMcMayhem

@msh210 No, they passed so it's our turn like normal

msh210

ok, cool

!board

Shiro

Mithical

21:35

Rubiksmoose

@msh210 Feel free to pass whenever you want though ;)

North

Yea

msh210

@Rubiksmoose :-)

thanks @Mithical

Mithical

np

DJMcMayhem

Not sure what we're supposed to get from nepal (0). Do you have any ideas @msh210 ?

North

21:35

John's just like guess whatever just not Nepal XD

DJMcMayhem

I'm inclined towards SEAL since we discussed it

msh210

Nepal has a capital.

You use a telescope to track your teammates father up the mountain.

farther*

You fly to Nepal??

DJMcMayhem

@msh210 I was actually thinking "locations" are more likely

msh210

Oh, I was trying to eloiminate all but 7

but that seems difficult at best

DJMcMayhem

Like if Bermuda/Capital were blue but himalayas was black/red, cluing away from the one location could help the other ones

@msh210 Yeah, that doesn't seem doable

msh210

21:38

I'd not guess capital on a Nepal (0), I don't think

DJMcMayhem

@msh210 Is that actually a thing?

msh210

Bermuda yes

@DJMcMayhem I know it used to be. Dunno about now in the days of gps trackers etc

DJMcMayhem

I mean, if capital isn't intended, wouldn't it be "Kathmandu"?

instead of just nepal

msh210

maybe

North

why'd you have to give a 0 clue john

i might have to go soon

DJMcMayhem

21:40

Idk. I'd vote for SEAL and I guess Bermuda, not sure beyond that.

msh210

if Bermuda + capital was intended then he coulda just clued the capital of Bermuda. Not that that woulda helped me, as I don't know the capital of Bermuda. (Though maybe if I saw it)

DJMcMayhem

Unless he doesn't know the capital of Bermuda (I certainly don't)

msh210

I feel like I should. I have a feeling it's some very British name like Lancaster. But yeah, maybe he doesn't, or maybe he thought we wouldn't.

DJMcMayhem

OK, so what words are you drawn towards?

msh210

seal :-)
I suppose Bermuda
maybe capital

DJMcMayhem

21:43

OK, I'm gonna start with seal

msh210

grass?? I imagine grass is scarce in Nepal

go for it

DJMcMayhem

Grass is possible for fire, so I'd not vote for that

msh210

@DJMcMayhem eh. Lotsa things were possible for fire.

DJMcMayhem

@msh210 Also it's not scarce from my memories of being in nepal

It was extremely lush in areas outside of the city

msh210

@DJMcMayhem oh, I've never been

DJMcMayhem

21:44

SEAL

Shiro

SEAL is Blue

El'endia Starman

TIL DJ has been to Nepal. :O

msh210

Bermuda, then? unless you've another idea

DJMcMayhem

Not really

BERMUDA

Shiro

BERMUDA is Blue

msh210

21:45

@Shiro certainly in the ads

another place I've never been

DJMcMayhem

Well, capital or pass? Or something else

I could be swayed towards pretty much anything tbh

msh210

@DJMcMayhem I see nothing else. I'm unconvinced by capital but if you feel confident then go for it

!board

Shiro

North

dang they catching up

El'endia Starman

We're still pretty ahead. :)

North

21:47

true

El'endia Starman

Still got that possible FLY from the 'fire' clue.

North

yea

msh210

@El'endiaStarman yes, no need to smirk about it :-P

DJMcMayhem

Random guess: Church? Churches are associated with Christianity and Nepal is largely Hindu

El'endia Starman

Who, me? :P

msh210

21:48

@DJMcMayhem bit of a stretch but it's possible

I'd rather pass than guess church, I think.

But again if you feel confident then go for it

North

Someone remind me post the wikipedia article on the Church of Harrumbai (or however you spell it)

DJMcMayhem

OK. I'm not very confident on churhc

El'endia Starman

Hammurabi?

DJMcMayhem

I think I'd like to go for capital though. I'm not super confident in it, but it seems very possible and we're behind

msh210

@North you asked me to remind you to post the Wikipedia article on the Church of Harrumbai (or however you spell it).

DJMcMayhem

21:50

@North Harambe? :P

msh210

@DJMcMayhem go for it

North

@DJMcMayhem Yes

DJMcMayhem

Capital

Shiro

CAPITAL is Blue

DJMcMayhem

Phew

msh210

21:50

nice

DJMcMayhem

OK, I'm good passing now

[pass]

Shiro

DJMcMayhem

@North Oh, really? I was kidding

North

@DJMcMayhem It's an actual thing in the U.S....

I'll need to find it again after the game is done

Mithical

Red: mountain pass (2)

Rubiksmoose

21:51

@North I mean. For some definitions of "actual thing"

msh210

@North so is Lukumi Babalu Aye

El'endia Starman

HIMALAYAS for sure. :P

North

okay so himalayas?

But why would John clue NEPAL

wait where's himalayas again

DJMcMayhem

@North As much of an "Actual thing" as The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

msh210

@North in South America #troll

North

21:52

@DJMcMayhem Great church

El'endia Starman

@North Nepal and Tibet (plus a couple other countries).

DJMcMayhem

@North Right next door to big ben

North

@El'endiaStarman hmm

El'endia Starman

Note that John clued away from the Himalayas by giving a 0 clue.

Then Mith confirmed it with their "mountain" clue.

North

Is it more plausible that John would clue away from red

Than a black for the chance that WE could land on a black?

msh210

21:53

I suspect Mith is sabotaging your team, throwing the game, by cluing for the assassin, and you shouldn't guess Himalayas.

North

I mean anyone could make mistakes though I don't suspect that Mith would make something that big

El'endia Starman

Not sure what the second is though. Could be FLY (as in passing over mountains), PART (like parting the seas), or MARBLE (e.g. Moria from LotR).

North

I'm good with HIMALAYAS

Rubiksmoose

@El'endiaStarman Also "fly you fools" from LotR, though in Moria so [shrug]

North

would mith double clue fly?

"double clue"

El'endia Starman

21:55

To ensure we get it, yeah.

North

if fly was the other fire

I think HIMALAYAS and FLY is good then

El'endia Starman

Overlapping clues is a common tactic.

Rubiksmoose

Going for them

North

okay

Rubiksmoose

HIMALAYAS

Shiro

21:55

HIMALAYAS is Red

North

nice

Rubiksmoose

FLY

Shiro

FLY is Red

El'endia Starman

good to pass

North

let's go (yea)

good to pass

Rubiksmoose

21:56

Yeah I'm not confident enough to say if that was coincidence or double cluing.

North

yea

Rubiksmoose

I'm inclined to think the former

North

grass is still a possibility

Rubiksmoose

But for no particular reason.

North

but

I think Mith could clue the last two together

Rubiksmoose

21:57

Agreed. Assuming the other team doesn't take it.

Passsing unless objections

North

could grass be mountain pass

and fly was just a part of fire that they didn't mean to clue?

just a possibility

Rubiksmoose

@North I think you might be right.

North

I mean Mith is a huge LoTR fan but that might've been a stretch?

Rubiksmoose

Fair, did we want to consider other Mountain Pass clues breifly then?

North

but again, are mountain passes really filled with grass as much as they are with rocks?

Rubiksmoose

21:59

I mean a pass could be where mountains PART as well

North

true

I feel little more confident with PART, but we could be risking it

Rubiksmoose

I'm not seeing GRASS as super likely for this clue at least.

North

yes
