YOLO

CROWN

Shiro

CROWN is Red

Dmihawk

whew wipes imaginary sweat from brow

Prince North Læraðr

Comic? Oh, I see

Dmihawk

because it's animated

Prince North Læraðr

Yea

Dmihawk

01:01

STREAM

Shiro

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

Dmihawk

whoop!

Shiro

Dmihawk

lovin' your work @Sciborg <3

Prince North Læraðr

Though it's not really called "COMIC" in America, but "comic" and "cartoon" are basically the same terms in Korean, actually. Fun fact!

Close game

Sciborg

01:02

@Dmihawk <3

Dmihawk

yeah I know, but this is Codenames :P

Prince North Læraðr

Very true

Dmihawk

I guess trying to convince you to guess Africa wasn't the worst strategy for me :P

Prince North Læraðr

Hehe

caird coinheringaahing

Blue: Fantasy (2)

Prince North Læraðr

01:06

Hm, probably COMIC and... LEPRECHAUN?

But maaaaybe princess?

COMIC

Shiro

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

Prince North Læraðr

Oh crap

Shiro

Dmihawk

yeah I interpreted that differently

Prince North Læraðr

It's LEPRECHAUN and PRINCESS

It's okay. Caird just has to clue me the last word, and we should be able to win. I should've started with LEPRECHAUN though, because that was actually safer

Dmihawk

01:08

a wild Bobble appears

bobble

!join

Shiro

Hi bobble, you'll be joining team red!

Dmihawk

hooray!

Shiro

RED: Sciborg, Dmihawk, bobble

Sciborg

:D

caird coinheringaahing

01:08

Stealing the win :p

bobble

'borg!

Prince North Læraðr

Darn :/

bobble

Dmi, do we have a backlog?

Dmihawk

not really

read: no

Prince North Læraðr

Okay, so I think we can win if red messes up

bobble

01:09

Do they have a backlog?

Dmihawk

Brooklyn 99 (2) - Police + NY
Cold (3) - Space + Stream + Ice
Lion King (2) - Africa + Crown

yeah, for Fantasy (2)

caird coinheringaahing

@bobble Read up like 20 lines :P

Sciborg

Red: Drilling (2)

Dmihawk

well drills are sometimes DIAMOND-tipped

bobble

Diamond

Dmihawk

01:11

go for that first?

bobble

maybe CRANE or YARD?

yeah go diamond

Dmihawk

DIAMOND

Shiro

DIAMOND is Red

bobble

!board

Prince North Læraðr

Blood diamond

Shiro

01:11

Prince North Læraðr

I threw that game with comic, ugh

Dmihawk

drills create round holes?

bobble

well it's HONEY, FLY, ROUND, CRANE, YARD, MILLIONAIRE, CHOCOLATE, or SATURN

Dmihawk

I'm liking ROUND and MILLIONAIRE

you?

bobble

seems like there's a better way to clue DIAMOND and MILLIONAIRE together

so ROUND > MILLIONAIRE

Dmihawk

01:13

valid point :)

bobble

I'm willing to go with ROUND

Dmihawk

go for it!

bobble

objections?

Dmihawk

none

bobble

ROUND

Shiro

01:16

ROUND is Blue
Seriously?
It is now Blue's turn

Prince North Læraðr

YES!

Dmihawk

ouch

bobble

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Shiro

Prince North Læraðr

Ohh was fantasy ROUND like the Round Table?

Okay, Leprechaun is in the backlog!

caird coinheringaahing

01:16

Blue: Fantasy (2)

Prince North Læraðr

Again? I guess my last choices were correct

PRINCESS

Shiro

PRINCESS is Blue

Prince North Læraðr

LEPRECHAUN

Shiro

LEPRECHAUN is Blue

Prince North Læraðr

YES!!!

Dmihawk

01:17

well done!

Prince North Læraðr

I think it was CRANE for drilling

caird coinheringaahing

!finalboard

Shiro

bobble

yep

Sciborg

RED: Me and Dmihawk the Kiwi :)
BLUE: Caird and Prince

RED: POLICE, SPACE, DIAMOND, STREAM, CRANE, AFRICA, CROWN, NEW YORK, ICE
--
BLUE: SKYSCRAPER, ROUND, COMPOUND, PRINCESS, LEPRECHAUN, BLOCK, MAMMOTH, GAS
YELLOW: SCHOOL, FLY, COMIC, YARD, MILLIONAIRE, CHOCOLATE, SATURN
BLACK: HONEY

I go first. Hmm. Avoiding HONEY.
Possible clue sequence:
NEW YORK+POLICE = Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2)
AFRICA+CROWN+CRANE could be African crowned crane, if Dmihawk knows his birds :p how to clue that, though? Drat, my birdbrain bae would know.

caird coinheringaahing

01:17

Seed: 946096547

Blue: Skyscraper, Round, Compound, Princess, Leprechaun, Block, Mammoth, Gas
Red: Police, Space, Diamond, Stream, Crane, Africa, Ice, Crown, New York
Yellow: School, Fly, Comic, Yard, Millionaire, Chocolate, Saturn
Black: Honey

Building = Skyscraper + Compound + Block?
Alive = Princess + Leprechaun + Mammoth?
Round + Gas = Bullet?
Structure = Skyscraper + Compound + Block?

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2) = New York + Police
Does Dmi know that though? Damn, they do :/
I guess that City = Skyscraper + Block works

Sciborg

I audibly said "NOOOO" out loud

i felt so bad :p

caird coinheringaahing

That wasn't a great board :/

Sciborg

totally on me for that last one, sorry guys

Diamond+Crane was tough to clue together

bobble

I did have CRANE up there, but I wasn't sure if they were used for drilling

caird coinheringaahing

Personally, @Sciborg, I would've gone for Africa + Diamond early

Sciborg

01:19

I thought about African diamond mining, but couldn't think of a legal way to clue it.

caird coinheringaahing

> Red: Elon Musk (3) for Africa, Diamond, Space?

Sciborg

Pretty stretchy, but possibly

bobble

White (2) might have worked because of the bird crane?

There are few enough words by that point

caird coinheringaahing

If bobble/Dmi know Musk's shady past

Prince North Læraðr

O/

Dmihawk

01:21

I do not

Sciborg

Yeah. I was just struggling not to hit the other team's clues in general :p

caird coinheringaahing

@/

Dmihawk

o/

bobble

I would have ~40 minutes

caird coinheringaahing

@Sciborg Same here (and yellow)

Sciborg

01:21

It was a really big overlapping board, so hard to clue without accidental hitting

@/

bobble

o/

actually, ./ might be safer

caird coinheringaahing

Red = caird, Blue = Sci for SMing

bobble

in case I have to leave early

caird coinheringaahing

O/

Prince North Læraðr

Yeah

ugh fine

Sciborg

01:24

We can restart if you changed mind, no worries :)

caird coinheringaahing

Or you can OTS me your clue(s)

Prince North Læraðr

I'll try

Sciborg

(Brother is stopping over, so I will be right back)

caird coinheringaahing

Red: Hardware (3)

Sciborg

Okay, hmm.

merrybot

!join

Shiro

Hi merrybot, you'll be joining team red!

RED: caird coinheringaahing, Sciborg, merrybot

Sciborg

Oh, hey Matt?

merrybot

ok, great

@Sciborg yes?

Sciborg

I thought you didn't like this game :p

merrybot

no i- ....

uh, anyway, hardware

Prince North Læraðr

01:29

@cairdcoinheringaahing onetimesecret.com/secret/pfn4b46lpxropg06d1579ukcmzqn42u

Sciborg

But hey, happy to have you on board

So, Caird knows I'm a computer nut, I'm guessing SERVER is one of these

merrybot

i was thinking of SERVER as well

caird coinheringaahing

@PrinceNorthLæraðr onetimesecret.com/secret/5dk5zckc8ejxzsf0duhm2m1yc7eo8b4

Sciborg

Cool with guessing that first?

merrybot

and then there's CODE? maybe?

@Sciborg sure

Prince North Læraðr

01:29

@cairdcoinheringaahing Yup

Sciborg

SERVER

Shiro

SERVER is Red

Prince North Læraðr

Uh-oh

:P

merrybot

mwahaha

Sciborg

I'm not so sure about CODE, since he did specify Hardware and not Software.

merrybot

01:30

ah right

Sciborg

Maybe MODEL, like a model of computer?

merrybot

mm, idk

i'm thinking of CRASH

Sciborg

"hardware crash"?

merrybot

... hm

Sciborg

If he wanted to clue CRASH+CODE, he could have easily just said Software, i feel like

merrybot

01:32

*facepalm*

Sciborg

but maybe i'm overthinking it and that is the intent

hm

merrybot

so should i/we guess MODEL?

Sciborg

i kinda like the idea of MODEL only because it makes sense for physical hardware, whereas CODE and CRASH feel strictly software.

merrybot

right, right

Sciborg

guessing Model?

merrybot

01:33

yep

MODEL

Shiro

MODEL is Blue
I feel for you.
It is now Blue's turn

bobble

hah!

Shiro

Sciborg

Oh, crap.

merrybot

sh*t

bobble

01:33

I have guesses for the other two

Sciborg

there's too many computer words on this board, is the problem.

merrybot

~~(five minutes in, and i'm already swearing. hm.)~~

Sciborg

TICK, BOMB, CRASH, CODE, WALL????

All computer words :p

Prince North Læraðr

Red: MATE (3)

whoops

!who

Shiro

Blue currently has 4 guesses remaining.

bobble

01:34

MATCH, because chess

Prince North Læraðr

Oh, huh

I guess Shiro really is color blind

Dmihawk

I'd start with CHECK, no?

caird coinheringaahing

@PrinceNorthLæraðr Shiro's kinda clever that way :P

bobble

whoops, overlooked CHECK

merrybot

@cairdcoinheringaahing is that good?

bobble

01:35

also maybe PARACHUTE because you parachute with a partner?

Dmihawk

start with CHECK?

bobble

CHECK > MATCH > .... > PARACHUTE

Dmihawk

SOUL MATE

caird coinheringaahing

@merrybot I reckon so

bobble

oh, that's it

Dmihawk

01:36

CHECK > SOUL > MATCH?

bobble

agreed

CHECK

Shiro

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

bobble

???

Shiro

Dmihawk

:o

bobble

01:36

SOUL > MATCH > PARACHUTE?

Sciborg

????

How was CHECK not MATE?

bobble

(backlog for next turn)

Sciborg

Well, Matt, our backlog is Hardware (2).

merrybot

hardware could possibly be TICK (cf. mechanical clocks)

bobble

at least we didn't hit red, Dmi

any objections to my proposed backlog?

Dmihawk

01:38

yeah, or black

Sciborg

I thought of TICK too, yeah

Dmihawk

happy with that

Sciborg

Still have no idea how MATE wasn't cluing CHECK, honestly :p

That would have been my first absolute 99% sure guess

merrybot

TICK

Dmihawk

yup, same

Prince North Læraðr

01:39

Because I was stupid. Put that with the SHAPES clue please

Sciborg

Matt, we haven't gotten a clue yet

Prince North Læraðr

(not speaking anymore for now)

Sciborg

North, this will be your SHAPES :p

merrybot

we- ... whatever happened to Hardware (3)?

bobble

that's backlog

Sciborg

01:39

We need to get a clue this turn before you can guess.

merrybot

ah, ok

Sciborg

The previous clue is called backlog, we guess that when we're out of clues.

merrybot

i see

Sciborg

And we should fully agree before you guess, as well. That's why I always ask "okay if I guess" first.

merrybot

looks like i still have a lot to learn, then

bobble

01:40

while you wait for a clue: I spent my bike ride freaking out about never being able to drive

Sciborg

No worries, you're doing great. :)

caird coinheringaahing

Red: Paperwork (4)

bobble

guess you're not waiting

Sciborg

Okay, so now we are able to guess, but let's discuss first and then agree on things.

merrybot

right

paperwork, hm

Sciborg

01:41

LAWYER makes sense to me

merrybot

agreed

those legal pad thingies

Sciborg

okay if I guess that?

merrybot

yep

Sciborg

LAWYER

Shiro

LAWYER is Red

merrybot

01:42

ah, great

Sciborg

Okay. Hm

bobble

angry lawyers? gasp

Prince North Læraðr

Fun fact: Most LAWYERS usually do more paperwork than they are in court

Sciborg

EMBASSY might make sense for foreign paperwork, passports, etc.

merrybot

you ok, bobble? :p

caird coinheringaahing

01:42

@bobble severely injured lawyers :P

bobble

poor lawyers

actually, scratch that. rich lawyers

Sciborg

@bobble I apologize if I stressed you out about driving in our previous conversation, was not my intent.

merrybot

@cairdcoinheringaahing i didnt want to imagine that but i did anyway

bobble

nah, was just the first time I put my vauge worries into actual words

Prince North Læraðr

ooof, I gotta go soon

caird coinheringaahing

01:43

@PrinceNorthLæraðr Send me your clues and I can take over

Sciborg

You do?? Uh-oh, we gotta guess quick. Do you like EMBASSY for reasons discussed above, matt?

merrybot

yep

Sciborg

Okay, I will guess it

EMBASSY

Shiro

EMBASSY is Red

Prince North Læraðr

In a bit, maybe 15ish minutes

merrybot

01:44

yess

Sciborg

All right, two more for paperwork.

!board

Shiro

Sciborg

Two paperwork, two hardware. Let's think.

Do you want to give in and try CODE or CRASH for hardware?

Or do you see another good fit for paperwork?

bobble

I hear BOMBs cause lots of paperwork

merrybot

perhaps WALL? i really don't have any other good paperwork ones

Dmihawk

01:46

takes a lot of paperwork to get to the MOON :P

Sciborg

WALL as in Wall Street, or WALL as in firewall?

bobble

"oh, some people got blown up? darn, we have to fill out accident reports"

Dmihawk

you need a moon passport, and a moon visa

Sciborg

A moon visa :p

merrybot

WALL, as in "you can hang paperwork on it"

idk

Dmihawk

01:47

rofl imagining lawyers stapling documents to the wall!

Sciborg

Well, for lack of other options, I say we try CODE because you suggested it for hardware before we goofed up

and it would make sense in a firmware way

merrybot

ok then

let's do it

Sciborg

i will guess it then

CODE

Shiro

CODE is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn

Sciborg

Hey, at least it was neutral.

Prince North Læraðr

01:48

Blue: AIRBORNE (0)

bobble

11 mins ago, by bobble

SOUL > MATCH > PARACHUTE?

okay so not PARACHUTE

Dmihawk

uh, zero?

Sciborg

read: "don't guess the assassin"

Dmihawk

oh ok

bobble

okay with me doing the first two parts of backlog?

Dmihawk

01:49

yup :)

bobble

SOUL

Shiro

SOUL is Blue

bobble

MATCH

Dmihawk

nice

Shiro

MATCH is Blue

Dmihawk

01:49

hooray!

bobble

oh, ROBIN!

merrybot

should i be worried

bobble

because Batman and Robin!

Dmihawk

I could buy that?

Sciborg

(will have to go for a couple minutes, i apologize - will be right back)

bobble

01:50

well I don't see anything else for Mate

okay with it?

Dmihawk

YOLO

bobble

ROBIN

Shiro

ROBIN is Red
Maybe you'll do better next time.
It is now Red's turn

Prince North Læraðr

smh

Shiro

bobble

01:50

wonderful

Prince North Læraðr

I'm sorry I had to smh for that one

merrybot

it's 5-5 now

bobble

and it made Codenames-level sense ;-;

Prince North Læraðr

No it really didn't

bobble

He's a fairly famous mate

Prince North Læraðr

01:51

Robins are birds. Birds fly

They go AIRBORNE

Okay I'll seriously stop

bobble

caird used a 0 to say "not exactly this, but like this"

we had problems running away from TABLE because of a pub (0) or the like a game back

Prince North Læraðr

8 minutes~

caird coinheringaahing

@bobble At the end, I'll explain what I've learnt (0) clues mean as an SM :P

merrybot

@PrinceNorthLæraðr birds fly, yes, unless they are penguins or ostriches

caird coinheringaahing

Red: Healing Powers (unlimited)

merrybot

01:53

what's the unlimited mean?

caird coinheringaahing

@merrybot At least one word is connected to the clue; you guys guess until you pass or guess a non-Red word

Prince North Læraðr

Usually means "I'm trying to give you more words for backlog"

bobble

And North? Could you just... not tell me how my guess, which teammate agreed on, makes no sense? It makes a level of sense, this is Codenames where everything is stretchy, and insulting a guesser is really not how the game goes.

caird coinheringaahing

Sci can fill in the "hidden" meaning

Prince North Læraðr

@bobble Sorry about that. I was frustrated

bobble

01:55

okay, just needed to say something

caird coinheringaahing

@Sciborg You here?

merrybot

5 mins ago, by Sciborg

(will have to go for a couple minutes, i apologize - will be right back)

ok, healing powers

*looks at board* ... i have no <expletive> idea on this one

Dmihawk

don't worms survive if you cut them in half?

don't know if that counts

bobble

don't help the other team!

Dmihawk

why not?

bobble

01:57

because we must crush them into the ground

Dmihawk

:o

Prince North Læraðr

I have to go

caird coinheringaahing

@bobble worms or us? :P

Prince North Læraðr

@cairdcoinheringaahing onetimesecret.com/secret/rpm9whtm6ipai5f5n8uzba9nr0mw4mw

bobble

and grind up their innards and hang their heads as trophies!

Dmihawk

01:57

...or we could be nice people

Prince North Læraðr

I have all the clues lined up on there, which means caird can't make anything up. See ya!

Dmihawk

bye North!

caird coinheringaahing

@PrinceNorthLæraðr Got it

\o

Prince North Læraðr

Oh one last clue

bobble

are we going to break Shiro?

merrybot

01:58

@bobble you're not a Klingon, don't eat me

caird coinheringaahing

@bobble Probably
