room topic changed to Strupremum: For playing the game Strupremum, where players compete to get the longest word matching a pattern. RULES: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/87064?m=48053019#48053019 (no tags)
to match the other game rooms
o/
i think you were the one who did the original CMC
0																												'
0 '
o/
the alternating vowels and consonants
Oh is that what this is based on.
How did the name strupremum be selected?
15:56
string + supremum
it was kind of off the cuff
Ok i'll start
go for it
Rule: ^.?(.)(.\1)*.?$
Whoops forget the edges
15:58
dont need the anchors. could you code format it though
0																												'
0 '
Have we ditched the rule where you have to post a word matching the regex first?
I guess it really isn't hard for this regex though
you should know of a word but you dont have to say what it is
any 3 letter word matches this regex though so ...
Maybe the * should have been a +.
But it wouldn't have made much of a difference.
0																												'
0 '
yeah
ill just post the obvious one
memes (5)
gotta be something better
0																												'
0 '
16:03
I'll up you one
bonobos (7)
oh wait
yeah or bananas
Is that everyone?
we have one more minute
ok
The word I based this on is 8 letters btw.
Oh can you answer more than once?
yeah
until times up
16:06
And I assume you have to beat the best so you can't just add to the clock?
right
anyways thats time @0'
Oh I just thought of a 9
what was your idea wheat
0																												'
0 '
aaaaaaaaa ?
Caracaras
also militia is funny but only 7
16:08
well its got the c though
0																												'
0 '
Of course its a bird
ohhh i misread the regex. oops
i thought it had to be the same two letters
its just the first one that repeats
anyways you're next 0
yeah maybe I should have explained it in english
Every other letter is the same.
no no its not your fault i havent had coffee yet
Might be a good idea to just explain things in english as well.
0																												'
0 '
16:10
yeah, someone else might want to go instead, I'm not sure how long it will be for me to come up with something
I have another one
0																												'
0 '
Alright
Rule: [a-g]+
inspired from last time
damn if only that + were a *
bagged (6)
what, you were going to answer with the empty string :P
16:14
deedded (7)
I'm not sure if that is how that is spelled though
i think its only one d
0																												'
0 '
yeah
defaced (7)
when you drop out the g then it can be spelled in hexadecimal
anyways 1 more minute
the one that inspired this was compound: cabbagefaced
zero you going to pass again?
ow, I just realized that this is the musical scale
0																												'
0 '
oh yeah
16:19
yep
I just read that cabbage could be spelled using the musical scale this morning
0																												'
0 '
yeah, I think I'll pass again
Rule: ^.*h.h.*$
1m left
0																												'
0 '
ahah (4)
chihuahua (9)
0																												'
0 '
16:25
ouch
oh i can pluralize
chihuahuas (10)
0																												'
0 '
chihuahuaed
chihuahuaing
I wanted to say bathhouse, but that's not quite right
0																												'
0 '
16:27
hahahaha... (∞)
yeah its tricky because it has to have that character in between. which makes for a weird sound
anyways
is that time?
yeah
simple one
The word I was thinking of was monophthongs
0																												'
0 '
some interesting words we missed: lightheartedness
ophthalmologist
16:29
but I realized ichthyologists while you guys were playing
Rule: [wxyz].*[wxyz]
does that have an implicit .* at the beginning and the end?
is it surrounded by ^$?
Oh wait
I didn't se the *
zoology (7)
yes its anchored
16:31
@quartata xylophonez :P
0																												'
0 '
Is zygotmorphicity (15) a word?
zoologically (13)
@0' i dont think its spelled with a t
the prefix is zygomorphic right
0																												'
0 '
I thought it was zygot similar to ergot
xenophobically (14)
xenophillically (15)
16:35
should that have one less l?
I don't think so
@0' the noun yeah but the prefix is just zygo-
0																												'
0 '
ah
@Cowsquack Maybe though
0																												'
0 '
should the penultimate l be a b instead?
16:36
On what?
0																												'
0 '
your two words
the philia part is only with one l. so that one is a 14
Ah here's one that matches the last two regexes
xerophthalmy (12) (non-competing)
i guess were out of time. zygomorphically would have worked for 15
0																												'
0 '
16:39
oh yeah
WW you're up
0																												'
0 '
I thought I was up?
xenophobically was the only valid 14
Is this the longest-surviving nick WW has had this year
You can go if you want, I took one from you earlier
0																												'
0 '
16:41
Though I guess I don't have any ideas still so it doesn't really matter
@Pavel No I can't even change it still because I'm in the grace period
Rule: ^([^aeiou])\1.*$
uh wait
0																												'
0 '
word that starts with two nonvowels?
photosynthesize 15 whoops
two of the same non-vowel
0																												'
0 '
16:42
oh
I felt i must have been reading it wrong
What words are legal? Can they be proper nouns?
Llamas (6)
0																												'
0 '
you can pluralize that
This is where knowledge of Quechua loan words come in
@0 ' Doi
16:44
i think the ruling on llanfair is if you can spell it without google its fair
@quartata doesn't even matter what the regex is. If you can spell it it is fair.
this is where @BetaDecay would clean house
0																												'
0 '
I have to go handle something, I'll be back in a bit
Llaneros (8)
16:47
It's a herder
Specifically a south-american one
Pluralized
IDK if it counts
demonyms are fine id say
will be afk for a bit
Looks like we are out of time
What is the time limit?
llanero appears to be a word
\o/
16:50
@Pavel 5min + number of guesses
I was thinking of llamas and ccaras
both 6
anyway I should get going.
cya
Dang, I just started
that was fun, feel free to ping me for games
Who else is still here?
Give an o/
o/, though I can't guarantee how actively I'll be playing
16:51
ill be back in like 5 minutes for anothr round
@PostLeftGarfHunter Did you invent this game? What is the name supposed to mean?
quartata named it
58 mins ago, by quartata
string + supremum
Anyone here have edit privelages on PSE
Can't you just add an answer? Or even suggest an edit?
Nope.
> Suggested edits are not allowed on non-tag-wiki posts on meta sites.
17:00
OK, but still you could post an answer, since each game has it's own post
I was thinking of editing it into the question itself
The bulleted list
Can I suggest a regex or do you want to go @Pavel?
Ahh my internet died for a bit
I was thinking of waiting for quartata
Ah, no, I'm gonna have to leave too by then
im here
I think I have time for one more round
17:14
Go for it
Rule: .*(.)\1.*\1\1.*
Greetings mortals
(and quartata)
i promise not to do yellowwooddoor again
wtf
squeegees (9)
17:19
AH FUCK POP QUIZ
RIP me
Voodoos (7)
lol
oh you can do it hyphenated: voodoo-doll
@Pavel I can add something for you. Do you have something written up?
since you came up with voodoo go for it
Voodoo-dolls (11)
17:21
nice
@quartata If that counts, then does Yellow-bellied (13) count?
yeah
Yellow-bellied is 13
thats more common hyphenated than voodoo dolls id say
17:22
I can count I promise
i dont think we have 3 players anymore for the next round
I can try to play. Just learning the rules...
I really wanted Parallelograms to count, but it's only 1 'l'. :(
dj would be up next if gpr is ready
I've got one
@Pavel What word were you thinking of?
17:29
I'm good to go
Rule: .*[^aeiou]{4}$
so ends in four consonants...
Yep :)
Strengths (8)
Thousandths (11)
Ten-thousandths (14)
Not sure if that's valid...
backcountry also works for 11
17:36
@GentlePurpleRain It should be just as valid as yellow-bellied
you could go for hundred-thousandth :P
Is it usually hyphenated, though?
but yeah i think thats as high as it goes
I thought about that, but it seemed even less likely to be hyphenated...
ive seen "ten-thousandth place"
17:39
I think the best word will probably end in Y.
Who keeps the clock?
anyways gpr you're up
I think it's an informal clock
i usually do. we need a bot soon though
Ok, I know the concept, but what are the rules again? (On mobile)
17:40
I was already thinking that a bot would be simple to make and convenient.
16 hours ago, by quartata
RULES:
- at the beginning of each round a person suggests a regular expression (no lookaheads, but capture groups and backreferences are allowed)
- players post the longest word they can think of that matches (no dictionaries, googling)
- the player who has the longest word wins the round and gets to make the regex for the next round
- tiebreaker is which word was posted first
- as an honor rule, you should know at least one dictionary word that matches a regex before you post it
- each round has a five minute time limit, with one minute added to the timer for each answer
The words I were thinking of (in order) were Yachts, Naughts, and Draughts
i cludged together half of it last night, just need to finish it sometime
Which ironically all rhyme
hahaha
@GentlePurpleRain Speaking of bots, is the codenames website run by someone here? Or is that someone unrelated
17:42
i should change the rules to clarify that one minute is added for each answer that is longer than the previous best
Rule: ([^aeiouy][aeiou])+
The Codenames bot was made by ffao. I think they are still hosting it.
Mithrandir also has a copy of the bot that he runs sometimes if the other one is down.
banana (6)
@DJMcMayhem Sorry, misinterpreted. The website is not related to anyone here, as far as I know.
oops needs to be even
Isn't that even?
17:45
@GentlePurpleRain Hmm, okay. I was hoping to either request or make it myself to add support for 2 player mode
i had bananas before
What would a bot need to do for this room? Seems simple enough by hand, unless you’re checking a dictionary list or something
wait a minute l. huge sense of deja vu here
17:47
man too bad topology doesn't count
Bot would keep track of time, keep track of current leader, and announce winner.
I can imagine it could get harder to do that if you actually had more than 4 or 5 people playing.
man too bad overimaginative doesn't count
this is nearly my original regex
are we out of time?
Am I supposed to keep track of time? I think we're done.
yeah thats why it was so familiar haha
I was thinking of BEVERAGE.
17:50
Ah nice
I'm away for a bit. I'll join back in if this is still going when I get back.
Rule: ^(..+).*\1$
nonimaginative would have worked forthe last one
17:55
or ^(.{2,}).*\1$ is equivalent
bonbon (6)
@PostLeftGarfHunter s/3/2/ I believe
Also Bonobo (6)
Good point
Some words just keep coming up ...
Metagame (8)
I want to say Cheep-Cheep (10), but I'm not sure if pretty sure Mario characters don't count
18:01
1minute left
educated is another 8, I'm sure that can be extended somehow
lloks like time is up
I'm surprised no one used Caracara
The word I was going for was strategist
Does that mean I'm up?
yep
are you thinking of a rule
Yeah, I'm just kinda slow
@PostLeftGarfHunter To clarify, with the rule as an honor rule, you should know at least one dictionary word that matches a regex before you post it, my example doesn't have to be particularly long, right?
18:09
I don't think so
Rule: ^([aeiou])(\1|[^aeiou])*$
ontology (8)
aardvarks (9)
@PostLeftGarfHunter That was mine 😂
Oh, and btw this is probably my last round (though I'd love to play again soon)
@quartata Shouldn't this say with one minute added to the timer for each answer that is longer than any previous answer?
Can I edit that?
didn't see the a gah
That has an 'a' that doesn't belong
Two minutes left
Doesn't start with the vowel
Although I did consider making the rule ^[^aeiou]*([aeiou])(\1|[^aeiou])*$
But that's kinda hard to read even though the real rule is simple (only one unique vowel)
Time
@DJMcMayhem It was Assassin, sorry I had to leave
18:18
this is surprisingly tricky. would be interested to see the longest possible from /usr/share/dict
grep gives indivisibility at 14
how do I grep for longest? Asking for a friend.
grep '^\([aeiou]\)\(\1\|[^aeiou]\)\+$' /usr/share/dict/words |awk '{print(length($1),$1)}'|sort -nr|head
cmc golf that ^
There isn't a way without awk?
18:19
oh invisibility or invincibility or other i words seem so obvious now
don't you need egrep or grep -E?
yeah, but I was too lazy to move all the way to the front to write the -E
Ok I guess I'm up
@Cowsquack Try it online!
Wait no that's bad
@Cowsquack Replace grep with ack, which uses Perl regex
Also remove the space between words and |awk
18:23
or use egrep like wheat said
ack is shorter
oh you were talking about golf
Rule: ^.*[wx].[wx].*$
Earwax (6)
Awkwardness (11)
(Shoutout to Cows quack for making me think about awk)
18:33
Ok that's time
and then some
that was a nice one
What was your word?
newsworthiness
Ooh
which also happens to be the longest such word present in my /usr/share/dict/words
18:35
Rule: ^.(.)(.).*\2\1.$
0																												'
0 '
bananas (7)
@Cowsquack Cool, I'm actually a bit surprised
Caracaras (9)
0																												'
0 '
damn, I was about to do that
parallelogram (13)
Time
My word was overachieve
This is a regex game???
that is a neat idea:)
Rule: ^.*(...+)\1.*$
0																												'
0 '
18:47
Caracaras (9)
Assassins (9)
...damn
Do we have an official regex tester here?
Assassinations (14)
can I join?:)
Yes
yay
@PostLeftGarfHunter I think that's time
Tintinnabulations (17)
Too late?
Oh looks like it is time
sorry got distracted
18:56
Time limit is 5 minutes, +1 minute for each guess with a higer value than the next
@GentlePurpleRain Is this something you just came up with without consulting a dictionary? :D
@flawr It is, in fact.
This is the season of tintinnabulation, after all...
What does it mean?
A ringing/dinging sound, like sleighbells.
@Pavel the sound of a bell after it has been struck: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintinnabulation
18:58
Ah
@GentlePurpleRain Do you want to do the rule? I can't think of anything interesting at the moment.
Also your word is awesome
The French "tintinabuler" is probably a little more commonly-used. I learned it in French before English.
I'm good either way. If you don't want to, I can.
Nah, I don't
