Codenames

@Sconibulus I'd say capsules are the skinny tubular shaped ones with rounded ends, and tablets are the flat disc shaped ones... both kind of tablets, and both vaguely cylindrical

Business Cat

Red: CARD (3)

Deusovi

spot, suit, heart?

numbermaniac

board as in cardboard

Deusovi

definitely suit and heart

...that's actually plausible

what team are you on, anyway?

stack reader

suit is good

numbermaniac

3:15 AM

neither, lol

Deusovi

SUIT

numbermaniac

i'm spectating

Deusovi

then stop contributing

Business Cat

Red

Deusovi

heart too?

numbermaniac

3:15 AM

lol, ok

HEART

heart too

@BusinessCat?

Heart is red

should we go board?

3:16 AM

Boo. Down with red.

(did anyone else read the other day that red kicks kittens?!)

Deusovi

Sid, stack reader?

Business Cat

@Alconja Why would I do that to my own kind

Sid

I am not sure of either..

numbermaniac

"Down with red" sounds like something you'd say about communism

stack reader

roulette for the scenario of card = casino

Alconja

3:17 AM

@BusinessCat You tell me... you're the red... :)

@numbermaniac Better dead than red

Deusovi

@stackreader then it would've been casino, not card

Sconibulus

I like Ike

Deusovi

or blackjack maybe

stack reader

the link from casino to heart and suit would be very iffy

Deusovi

yeah, but no others would've been better

stack reader

3:19 AM

maybe board for board game

Deusovi

yeah, or cardboard

that's two reasons for board - wanna go for it?

sure

BOARD

Red.

Yeah.

3:20 AM

[passing]

numbermaniac

neat

!board

Shiro

Deusovi

whoa, we have one word left

good luck blue!

Alconja

Ok, time for the big finish blue...

numbermaniac

no pressure

Sid

3:20 AM

Oh. We are winning?

ffao

BLUE: Arctic Circle, 2

numbermaniac

inb4 "Blue: ffao, 5"

Alconja

so we need 3 more for the win...

Sconibulus

that probably means Tablet was right

Alconja

I'm going to guess we had TABLET correct for cylinder

Sconibulus

3:21 AM

and we want Cold

ffao

I'm a meme now, hey mom

Alconja

But first..

cold is good/obvious

COLD

ffao

blue

Alconja

so what else is arctic circle?? center? (axis goes through it) spot? (bit round spot on the top of a globe)

Sconibulus

any chance Arctic Circle is a comic?

Alconja

3:23 AM

I'm sure there's some arctic rabbits...

not that i know of

Sid

Wait, who had to guess 9?

Alconja

well, most are pretty clearly wrong... but i think of those left, center is probably the best...

Deusovi

Red did.

Sconibulus

wouldn't center be the Pole, rather than the Circle?

Alconja

unless "circle" is specifically there to hint towards roulette??

true... "north pole" would've still given cold, and would be a much better center

Sconibulus

3:26 AM

that seems vaguely plausible, cold roulette would be hard to do

Alconja

especially with other clues

and we can be pretty sure it's not red (see CARD last turn)

Sconibulus

yeah

let's try Roulette and Tablet?

Alconja

I'm now leaning ROULETTE + TABLET

Sconibulus

swing for the fences :)

Alconja

ROULETTE

ffao

3:27 AM

if roulette were it, I would have done "circular, 4" instead of "cylinder, 3"

neutral

(eh, I thought the game was over)

(but it pretty much is)

Business Cat

Red: DOT (1)

Deusovi

SPOT

stack reader

it's the circle of life lalala

Business Cat

Red

stack reader

spot

Sid

3:28 AM

Woo!

Deusovi

good game, everyone

Sid

We win!

Business Cat

Deus, why were you thinking SPOT for CARD?

Techidiot

Center and tablet could have been the game(sorry, late advice)

Sid

What was the remaining words?

Business Cat

3:28 AM

I was struggling to think of a way to lump in with the rest

ffao

CENTER and TABLET were the remaining blue words

Deusovi

@BusinessCat A "spot card" is the opposite of a face card

ie a card from 2-9

Business Cat

Ah, didn't know that term

Deusovi

spots refer to the little clubs/hearts/spades/diamonds symbols on cards

like pips on dice

ffao

if he had clued card (4) it would have been an awesome clue, then

Alconja

3:29 AM

@ffao :) should've gone with my first instinct

Deusovi

(and I think they're sometimes also called pips on cards too?)

Business Cat

We got some really lucky words then

Techidiot

Tablet is 100% cylinder for me..Alconja was almost there..

Business Cat

Honey AND Bug? Come on

Alconja

Yeah, some clues write themselves

ffao

3:30 AM

yeah, red had a really good board

Techidiot

Also they took arctic as cylinder in first guess..

Deusovi

what was the assassin?

ffao

I don't like "center", it's too generic

Business Cat

Germany

Deusovi

ah, that's not too hard to avoid

ffao

3:31 AM

like, if I clued "north pole", maybe you guys could have gone for spot, I dunno

Techidiot

Center with heart in there makes it too hard to clue..

Business Cat

Alright, I'm off. Good night

Alconja

Well played regardless. Don't think anyone did anything objectively stupid, which is an excellent start. :)

Deusovi

yeah, I'm done for now

Alconja

cya BC

I think I better bow out too. Bye all.

Sconibulus

3:32 AM
