Profession could be washer.
Like a washerwoman.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
I considered that but discounted it because it seems like a strange way to word it
msh210
msh210
To whale is also a profession.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
But it's definitely a possibility
msh210
msh210
Like a whaler.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
@msh210 Oh, a whaler
I think Washer > Whale just slightly

If I had to guess one for organ, it'd be cell, though I'm not sure why.
Wanna try washer?
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Sure
WASHER

argh! :P
HTM
HTM
@El'endiaStarman fill me in
DJMcMayhem

So that probably discounts WHALE, leaving our backlog at just CELL

@DJMcMayhem if that.

@HTM Sure, gimme a few moments.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
@msh210 Alright, leaving our backlog at a tenuous ~CELL~

@DJMcMayhem I have a few tenuous cells.

Mithical has added El'endia Starman to the list of this room's owners.
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Thanks! :)
HTM
HTM
22:07
Are we not considering WHALE for “Improbability”?
Mithical
Mithical
:)
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
@HTM I did mention that.
HTM
HTM
Ive read H2G2 so I know the ref
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Neither North nor I were particularly familiar with either Alice in Wonderland or HGttG.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
@El'endiaStarman I've read HHG once, but a long time ago. I'm only just familiar enough to understand the reference
HTM
HTM
22:08
@El'endiaStarman Lucky for you I’ve read both
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Fantastic!
HTM
HTM
But I don’t see any Wonderland related words unfortunatelt
If COURT was Y, I suspect the connections are gonna be kinda tenuous for that
Oh! PENGUIN for “Improbability”
”Ford, you’re turning into a penguin. Stop that.”
Mithical
Mithical
Red: stabber (unlimited)
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
So then, WHALE and PENGUIN for improbability?
HTM
HTM
Oh, BACK for this one and “Queen of Hearts”
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
22:11
user image
Maybe FORK for 'stabber'?
HTM
HTM
@El'endiaStarman Yeah, those are the two I like the most
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Alright, WHALE > PENGUIN > BACK > FORK so far.
HTM
HTM
Maybe BACK first just to get one safe one out of the way
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
BACK
Shiro
Shiro
BACK is Red
HTM
HTM
22:13
Cause there may be other H2G2 references I’m missing here
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Then the others?
msh210
msh210
@El'endiaStarman wb
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
lol :)
HTM
HTM
If we got this all right, we’re only missing one “Queen of Hearts”
Maybe SPINE? Works for “Stabber” too, though tenuously
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Should I go ahead with WHALE, PENGUIN, FORK?
I thought of SPINE too. Putting that at the end of the list.
HTM
HTM
22:16
Go for WHALE + PENGUIN. I don’t really see any other stronger references to H2G2
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
WHALE

WHALE is Red

@Mithical See, I do read books sometimes ;-)
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Is it possible that Queen of Hearts -> CELL?
HTM
HTM
OK, so I’m guessing we’re down to one “Queen” and one “Stabber”
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
22:17
I like FORK for 'stabber'.
HTM
HTM
@El'endiaStarman Thought of that too, a lot of solitaire games call their spaces “cells”
Like Freecell
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
yeah
HTM
HTM
But before we go anywhere, which words should we avoid?
As in clued by a 0 or is likely Blue
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
BOW for sure. That was 0-clued.
Blue might have two "alpine horn" words left.
HTM
HTM
@El'endiaStarman TUBE’s probably one of them
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
22:20
Probably.
HTM
HTM
SPINE for “Organ” maybe?
Also, CHARGE was a donation, right?
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Yes
As well as HIMALAYAS (R) and CONCERT (B)
HTM
HTM
Probably TUBE + CONCERT for “Alpine horn” is my guess
Yeah I’m good with FORK and CELL, unless you see something better
@El'endiaStarman ^^^
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
@HTM You could go for 'em
HTM
HTM
Just being a good teammate :)
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
22:25
I'll guess 'em.

noooo
HTM
HTM
Yikes, so damn close
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Pheeeeeeeww
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
We still have a shot. Blue could mess up on their last word too!
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
@msh210 I'm thinking Spine++ for organ
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
22:26
Would be par for the course....
HTM
HTM
Maybe “Queen” -> CAPITAL?
Or I could’ve allowed Blue to win...
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
And maybe London? I think of really old churches as having organs, and London probably has a bunch of really old churches, but that's tenuous
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
Blue: Length(1)
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
No reason to speculate. If we get to go again, Mith would easily be able to do a 1-clue. :)
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
@HTM Maybe "Queen" -> BOW. Because you BOW before the queen
Alright, YARD obviously
HTM
HTM
22:27
@DJMcMayhem Queens go to SCHOOL heartily
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
And then I guess spine because I was suggesting that for organ and we got a 1
HTM
HTM
Hey, maybe LONDON was ours cause of “Queen”
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman

Also connections to Carroll
DJMcMayhem

@msh210 Any objections to YARD/SPINE?

We have a hung jury!

Given the time, I'm going to assume msh fell asleep.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Alright, how long should I wait? I don't want to hold it up if they're gone or asleep
@Mithical The first version was funnier
HTM
HTM
@msh210 Will call
Mithical
Mithical
@DJMcMayhem The first version was proof that I should also be asleep

YARD

Playing second, 1v2
Blue words: Tube, Agent, Yard, Pilot, Concert, Washer, Spine, Charge
Black: Web
nice clustering of the words.

I have a couple of professions, and one profession is yellow:
Pilot, Conductor/Y, Agent, Washer. I don't see a good way to avoid the Conductor.

Tube/Yard/Concert = Alpenhorn? The length matches, but it's not really found in concerts. Flute is red.
Red still thinking.
Church organ is even bigger, and used in concerts, but it doesn't avoid flute (which will be a pain to do, so maybe just wait?). Also the alternate meaning brings in Cell/Y at least. Migh…

BACK, VACUUM, WHALE, FLUTE, HIMALAYAS, PENGUIN, LONDON, SUIT, FORK.

Assassin: WEB.

HIMALAYAS + LONDON = "location"

PENGUIN + WHALE = "suit"

Hmm, SPINE is blue while BACK is red. Interesting.

PENGUIN + SUIT = "tuxedo"

I should be able to do a playing card clue with BACK, SUIT, and LONDON...

Might hit COURT, but it's yellow. BACK is a little sketchy. On the other hand, it's useful to give the sketchiest clue first, so that there's a backlog... ;)

(gives "Queen of Hearts" clue)
HTM
HTM
22:33
Probably shoulda kept the Wonderland connection in mind

Msh pushing me back towards the "washer" I discounted made a huge difference

@JohnDvorak Yard + Spine == Football Injury (If that's legal?)
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
not really legal, though I do like the idea
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Assuming that's read as US football, not normal football
Hmm, is there a way to word that that would be legal?
I'll be back online in a few hours, but for now I'm o\
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
I'd consider just "Rugby" or "American football", but that's not very strong for Spine
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
22:39
Yeah, that's very strong on YARD, but less on SPINE. I'd probably go for SCHOOL before SPINE
@JohnDvorak Although I'm guessing rugby doesn't measure things in yards probably
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
What would you guess for "meter"?
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Not sure. Probably YARD and LONDON. Although I did suspect london was red after HTM mentioned it
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
Why London?
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Because it's a place that uses the metric system
I admit, it's not that great. But I definitely wouldn't think SPINE
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
understood, thanks
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
22:42
@DJMcMayhem Actually for that matter, I don't even know why US football is measured in yards. That's literally the only thing I can think of that uses yards
Is there a connection between meter and spine?
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
It's about the right length, isn't it?
HTM
HTM
I think just changing the enumeration on “Length” to 2 would’ve done the trick
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Ahh, I see. Don't know why I didn't think of that
Maybe I would have thought of that because I already wanted to go for spine
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
gotcha, thanks
Hmm... Google says the spine is 71cm long
