CONDUCTOR

CONDUCTOR is Red

dcfyj

@JohnDvorak Aperture Science?

Mithical

FLUTE

Shiro

20:01

FLUTE is Red

John Dvorak

@dcfyj yep

Mithical

PITCH

Shiro

PITCH is Red

dcfyj

@JohnDvorak I just played #2 again recently, good games :)

Mithical

!board

Shiro

20:02

Mithical

Options that I can see: SUPERHERO, vaguely PAPER

dcfyj

superhero?

Mithical

I mean, if it was just "music", it would be obviously DANCE. However, since it was "score", then that puts you in mind of movie soundtracks... hence SUPERHERO. (Also, I like the Avengers theme.)

dcfyj

I suppose I could see that

Mithical

I'm not confident enough in guessing, though, so I'll pass.

[pass]

Shiro

20:05

dcfyj

Give us an (8) clue!

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Blue: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (3)

El'endia Starman

oh this again lol

dcfyj

temple
superhero?
???

Temple seems obvious

El'endia Starman

TEMPLE, CARROT, PENGUIN are my guesses.

dcfyj

20:07

The horse has a carrot meter

El'endia Starman

oh wait, HORSE

TEMPLE > HORSE > CARROT

dcfyj

There are no penguins in ocarina of time as I recall, but it's been a while since I played it

TEMPLE

Shiro

TEMPLE is Blue

El'endia Starman

I've never played it so you're one up on me. :)

dcfyj

ish, I haven't played it since high school at the most recent, that was nearly 20 years ago lol

HORSE

Shiro

20:08

HORSE is Blue

dcfyj

CARROT

Shiro

CARROT is Blue

dcfyj

I'd assume pass

El'endia Starman

sweet

yep

dcfyj

[pass]

Shiro

20:09

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

brb

dcfyj

Long as you're back before our turn :P

Mithical

Backlog is SUPERHERO > DANCE > PAPER.

dcfyj

SDP for short?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I will be

dcfyj

20:11

SuDPa to avoid confusion?

@JohnDvorak thinking?

John Dvorak

yes

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I'm back

and I have to phrase it carefully, because the word "back" is on the board

Mithical

Hi back, I have a question for you. Why do you always hurt

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I'd say it's not the time for dad jokes, but it always is

@JohnDvorak Reminder that @El'endiaStarman is on a schedule

John Dvorak

red: Love(4)

dcfyj

20:19

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Me too lol

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@dcfyj I realized you were here after I said that, sorry

dcfyj

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I hadn't stated otherwise, so you had no reason to know

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Oh, you meant you're on a schedule too

I thought you were just reminding me that you were here

Mithical

....hmm.

dcfyj

No, I leave at 4 est too lol

Mithical

20:20

HONEY

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Well that's going to bring this game to a screeching halt in 40 minutes

Shiro

HONEY is Red

dcfyj

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Or it's going to rush ahead :P

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Codenames rules: You have to star every time Shiro says something is a color that it isn't

Mithical

CHICK

Shiro

20:21

CHICK is Red

Mithical

!board

Shiro

dcfyj

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Yeah, I've seen people star "Fire is red", but to be fair, it can easily be blue and even somewhat yellow. The only abnormal one would be black

Mithical

FACE

Shiro

FACE is Blue
Uh... what?
It is now Blue's turn

Mithical

20:22

welp

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Fire can be any color if you burn the right chemical

dcfyj

face = love?

Mithical

backlog: DANCE > ?? > GOLD > SUPERHERO > PAPER

dcfyj

No more paper huh?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Am I allowed to look up how the thing I want to use is capitalized or no?

dcfyj

20:25

I don't believe so

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

THought so, thanks

dcfyj

alternative, make all the letters capitals

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Blue: UNDERDOG (2)

dcfyj

So superhero is ours afterall

I don't know much about him though

El'endia Starman

I was actually thinking the opposite. Why do you think that's our word?

dcfyj

20:26

"No need to fear! Underdog is here!"

El'endia Starman

Alas, I'm not familiar with that one.

What else though. CAT?

dcfyj

He's a superhero, cartoon from the 80s I think. They made a movie about 10 years ago

sounds fine to me, SH > CAT?

Was probably over 10 years ago actually...

anyhow, are those 2 fine?

El'endia Starman

I don't really see any better options.

dcfyj

offhand Charge and spot are vague ones

I feel like he said CHARGE! often, but I never really saw the show and I don't recall the film well enough. Spot I think might have been his name, but as I said...

Probably created in a lab too come to think of it... I still prefer SH and CAT though

Any qualms about guessing the top two?

HTM

!join

Shiro

20:31

Hi HTM, you'll be joining team red!

RED: John Dvorak, Mithical, HTM

dcfyj

I'll take that as a "no"

SUPERHERO

Shiro

SUPERHERO is Blue

dcfyj

CAT

Shiro

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

dcfyj

Wasn't cat lol

Mithical

20:32

Backlog: DANCE > GOLD, essentially

dcfyj

Not superhero? :P

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@HTM If you look at the starboard, I wasn't kidding about the Who's on FIrst thing, that happened

also hi

Mithical

STATE and PAPER are in there somewhere

13 mins ago, by John Dvorak

red: Love(4)

dcfyj

Backlog: spot?, lab?, charge?

Mithical

32 mins ago, by John Dvorak

red: Musical score(4)

*waves to @HTM*

HTM

20:33

@Mithical o/

I like PAPER for "Musical score"

For "Love" probably DANCE first because of slow dances, and then I'm not sure

Mithical

Thinking GOLD like rings

HTM

Maybe GOLD because it's often associated with romance

Mithical

DANCE > GOLD > PAPER

HTM

Aight John, hit us

John Dvorak

Red: Activity(0)

HTM

20:35

Yikes, no DANCE then

Mithical

...okay, so not DANCE. I guess he was working off of the fact that I had eliminated DANCE after the "musical score" clue. Alright.

Let's go for GOLD?

HTM

I guess go for the GOLD

And hope it's not gold (yellow)

Mithical

GOLD

Shiro

GOLD is Red

Mithical

(yes it is)

dcfyj

20:37

Not usually lol

HTM

@Shiro Good bot

Mithical

Okay. I think we should also go for PAPER, and then look for another "love" word

HTM

Sure

Mithical

PAPER

Shiro

PAPER is Red

Mithical

20:38

!board

HTM

Im looking for "Love" and can't find any good ones

8

Shiro

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

OK who else starred that

Mithical

me

dcfyj

To me Musical score -> paper seems obvious considering that's where you normally write one

HTM

20:38

(That was semi-intentional btw hehe)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

crap, we fell for it

Eh I've done that too

HTM

I'm looking at both STATE and SPOT, but neither strike me as particularly close

Maybe HOTEL? As in a place where you'd make love?

Or simply a love hotel?

Mithical

That had crossed my mind, but... meh.

HTM

I like it over STATE and SPOT though

Perhaps add LAB to that list as well, though that connection has very risqué connotations that I'm not sure our SM intended...

Mithical

I don't see anything, really. I think we should pass, hope blue can't get three in one shot, and then hope John can put together the last two

HTM

20:42

I guess if we're at a standstill, that's the best thing to do

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Also @HTM when we're done here, Deusovi wants another C4 hint

HTM

Just hope that the other team fails so that we get another chance to fail

dcfyj

@HTM NEVER! :P

HTM

[pass]

El'endia Starman

@HTM :100:

Shiro

20:43

dcfyj

@Mithical Considering that we have a leftover from underdog, he just needs to clue a 2 (although I'm not too sure what that left over is lol)

HTM

My backlog: HOTEL >> LAB > STATE > SPOT

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

!who

Shiro

We are currently waiting for a clue from the Blue spymaster.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

OK

dcfyj

20:44

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus you lol

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Blue: Philadelphia (2)

El'endia Starman

@dcfyj Gut feeling is SPOT for the underdog clue.

dcfyj

Are the Penguins from Philly? I don't know lol

@El'endiaStarman same

El'endia Starman

MINT and STATE for the Philadelphia clue.

dcfyj

mint?

El'endia Starman

20:45

As in minting coins.

dcfyj

I was thinking state as well. Didn't realize the mint was in philly

El'endia Starman

Not quite sure why but it jumped out at me, so there's probably some background knowledge from long ago.

STATE > MINT > SPOT?

dcfyj

I like state as well, but I'm not sure about mint, penguin jumped out at me but I don't follow sports so I don't remember what city the team is from

El'endia Starman

I don't think PENGUIN fits.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

for a second there I thought HTM posted the C4 hint in this room

dcfyj

20:48

The hockey team?

El'endia Starman

Philadelphia doesn't even border Canada, the nation of hockey fanatics.

dcfyj

@El'endiaStarman You realize Florida has a hockey team, right?

El'endia Starman

(Unless you count the Great Lake it barely touches.)

lol

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I want to say something, but I can't and it's annoying me

dcfyj

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus lol

Hush you

El'endia Starman

20:48

In any case, I don't know hockey well enough for that, alas.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

OK

dcfyj

so state, spot, then...?

El'endia Starman

Got 10 minutes left. Let's guess those and get this over with.

dcfyj

flip?

ok

STATE

Shiro

STATE is Red
That's too bad.
It is now Red's turn

dcfyj

20:49

hah

Shiro

El'endia Starman

WHAT

dcfyj

RIP

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Philly is not a state

Pennsylvania is the state

El'endia Starman

Oh [facepalm]

dcfyj

20:50

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus well aware, hush you

John Dvorak

Red: Spine(1)

dcfyj

MARBLE!

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

That's what I wanted to say this whole time

HTM

Ok, so STATE was the "Love" word then?

And BACK no question for this clue

dcfyj

It's clearly LAB :P

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

20:51

@dcfyj if you were so aware, why did you guess STATE for a city

HTM

...@Mith? You still there?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

They probably fell asleep again

dcfyj

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Because it's the only relation I could see to a US city...

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I was just joking when I said that

You'll see what I meant, the other one was admittedly kind of a stretch

Mithical

@HTM aye

dcfyj

20:52

@Mithical the last Red is LAB

Mithical

going for BACK

BACK

Shiro

BACK is Red

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@dcfyj the best troll in the room is the opposing SM

John Dvorak

20200217

Playing first, 1v1

Red: Flute, Conductor, Chick, Pitch, Gold, Back, State, Paper, Honey
Black: Charge

Music theme jumps out, but let's check for FPs.
Dance is yellow.
Blue got an Epona theme going on.
Musical score gives: Flute, Pitch, Paper, Conductor. Crown yellow. Misses Chick. Cooking theme next?

Blue joined by another guesser.

Got pinged. Playing.
Conductor got. Flute got. Pitch got.
Superhero/B suggested. Disputed by opposing team and by me. Paper seen. No crown, surprisingly, or dance.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I'm SMing for BLUE
RED: FLUTE CONDUCTOR CHICK PITCH GOLD BACK STATE PAPER HONEY
BLUE: SPOT HORSE CARROT SUPERHERO TEMPLE MINT FACE MARBLE
YELLOW: DANCE PENGUIN CAT CROWN HOTEL LAB NAIL
BLACK: CHARGE

I hate when BACK is on the board because it means I can't leave

I see EPONA for HORSE and CARROT, again; maybe TEMPLE Too because that's how Zelda dungeons work
They'd know I'd clued that before, too
Maybe just clue The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time? But the cartridge was GOLD, so that
might not work

dcfyj

20:52

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus lol

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

No, really

BTW, I was going for MARBLE with the philly clue

HTM

MINT + MARBLE + SPOT, hmm...

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I was counting on SPOT from the Underdog clue

which had nothing to do with underdog specifically and everything to do with dogs in general

El'endia Starman

So I was right on MINT lol.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

yes you were

John Dvorak

20:53

"the cartridge was GOLD" - what kind of fanatic knows that?

El'endia Starman

anyway, GG red :)

John Dvorak

gg

El'endia Starman

Wouldn't have gotten MARBLE though.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I don't know, I didn't even beat it until the 3ds remake

or am I thinking of the original NES Zelda? Or was it both?

John Dvorak

I only watched an LP

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

20:54

gg everybody

I'd play but my entire team needs to leave

El'endia Starman

Yup. Seeya! \o

John Dvorak

well clued, tpp

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

thanks john

El'endia Starman

I'll be back in a couple hours, probably.

Mithical

> "...I hate that Mith's strategy works."

bwahahaha

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

20:55

You try coming up with a 3 clue for those

John Dvorak

yeah, tough triple

HTM

"Treasury Department (3)"?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

How would "SPOT" fit there though

HTM

Definitely gets MINT, maybe gets MARBLE, and might double confirm SPOT

John Dvorak

Gold was on the board

HTM

20:58

Cause it's a place

dcfyj

@JohnDvorak Yeah, I'd forgotten that

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I was thinking spot as in dalmatian

John Dvorak

... actually, no. Gold had died just before the clue

HTM

GOLD was guessed at that time

dcfyj

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Original NES is gold (I have it)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

20:58

That is a hard game

I tried playing on the Wii Virtual Console, and I couldn't find the first dungeon

Not beat it, find it

dcfyj

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus The original? The only hard thing is the final boss

John Dvorak

I was thinking "revert" for "back/state". Would that work?

Mithical

O/

John Dvorak

0/

dcfyj

The second one is a different story altogether...

Mithical

21:00

@JohnDvorak Would've gotten BACK; STATE probably less obvious, but it was on the backlog so it's possible, but don't know.

dcfyj

@JohnDvorak Makes sense in retrospect, but I don't think I'd have thought of it

o\

John Dvorak

roger, thanks

HTM

@JohnDvorak Maybe change that to "Revision" to make STATE more obvious

dcfyj

I'm out

HTM

o/

Is it GAmen yet?

Avi

21:06

uh

how is SPINE marble?

oh, it's back

John Dvorak

It isn't, that's the point

Avi

that makes a lot more sense

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@HTM it seems to be

BYe guys
