n_palum

I'm like > 1 hour away from Canada

Deusovi

Hey BG! We haven't started yet

GentlePurpleRain

Okay, you can be an honourary Canadian for today.

Business Cat

@n_palum > 1 hour away? That's most of the US

n_palum

My friends back home tell me I'm a Canadian

Beastly Gerbil

16:02

Oh Ok I'll join

Shiro

Hi Beastly Gerbil, you'll be joining team blue!

BLUE: Rubio, Mithrandir, Beastly Gerbil

n_palum

@BusinessCat That's not most of the US - and I'm about 45 minutes from the Falls

Beastly Gerbil

why has n_palum not been added to the red team list?

oh there we go

GentlePurpleRain

FUNERAL (4)

Business Cat

I was trying to indicate that "> 1" is more than 1

Mithrandir

16:03

@n_palum you did the wrong symbol

n_palum

Oh

Whatever

< 1

Business Cat

Undertaker, death

n_palum

Anyway: Mass, Death, Undertaker, Hospital?

Business Cat

Hospital seems loose

n_palum

But as a 4th, the only things I can connect are Hospital, Hand and Shadow

DEATH

Business Cat

16:05

Even if someone dies in the hospital it's not involved in the funeral

Deusovi

Red

n_palum

UNDERTAKER

GentlePurpleRain

Red

n_palum

MASS

GentlePurpleRain

Red again

n_palum

Business Cat

Yeah I was thinking that

n_palum

I'm cool for tablet

TABLET

GentlePurpleRain

...TABLET is yellow.

Blue again

Rubio

what now

Mithrandir

Apple

Rubio

that would have just been clued "BIG", i'd hope

Mithrandir

Not necessarily

We might have guessed big day, for example

Beastly Gerbil

sorry back

Rubio

16:10

I suppose.

Mithrandir

Didn't the Colossus stand in a harbor?

Rubio

BG, thoughts on APPLE then?

Beastly Gerbil

I think apple seems best bet

Rubio

APPLE

GentlePurpleRain

APPLE is blue

Mithrandir

16:11

Anything to do with the comic character?

Rubio

[PASSING]

Mithrandir

...too late

Beastly Gerbil

GentlePurpleRain

HOLD (3)

Rubio

shall I take over, Blue?

Mithrandir

...who will replace?

Sure

Deusovi

good luck blue

Mithrandir

16:13

Hopefully

Business Cat

Ship

n_palum

Hand, Fork? Bat?, Match?, Plate?

Business Cat

Ships have a hold

Pretty sure...

n_palum

Yeah like a cargo hold.. but there is a lot you can hold there

Business Cat

Hand makes sense obviously

The others not as much

Plate feels the best of them

n_palum

16:16

HAND

GentlePurpleRain

Red

n_palum

I mean, plate is just the same as the others, all things you hold

Business Cat

But a plate holds things itself

My guesses would be ship, plate

n_palum

Have at it

Business Cat

SHIP

GentlePurpleRain

16:18

...SHIP is blue

Beastly Gerbil

lol

Rubio

Well then.

RED: GentlePurpleRain, Business Cat, n_palum, dcfyj

GentlePurpleRain

Yay!

dcfyj

lol

Business Cat

Team CANADA grows larger yet

GentlePurpleRain

@n_palum, @BusinessCat, fill in dcfyj on our history thus far.

n_palum

16:21

We suck - history complete

GentlePurpleRain

(I would, but I fear revealing something I shouldn't).

Business Cat

We missed one on FUNERAL (4), 2 on HOLD (3)

Mithrandir

You should switch dc

I have to go in a minute

Rubio

@GentlePurpleRain onetimesecret.com/secret/hddhvz0301bk10sqtrqqqd8ss9i6gdv

n_palum

I'm stepping away for a few so

dcfyj

16:22

@BusinessCat I'm the missing link between you guys and plum haha

GentlePurpleRain

@Rubio I don't know the answer to your question, but I'd be inclined to allow it.

It may depend on whether you're going for semantic meaning, or just stringing words together.

Rubio

BLUE: Under Cover of Darkness (2)

Beastly Gerbil

shadow

Rubio

SHADOW is Blue

oh hell

Beastly Gerbil

oh dear rubio

SHADOW

Mithrandir

16:25

Hood

GentlePurpleRain

SHADOW is blue

Rubio

mutter. phone rang, got sucked in, didn't keep track of where we were

dcfyj

bad rubio, lol

Rubio

yes.

dcfyj

bad dog haha

Beastly Gerbil

16:25

what is that? a book or film or something? anyone read/seen it?

GentlePurpleRain

I think that one was pretty obvious anyway, and would have been guessed eventually.

Beastly Gerbil

yeah no harm done really

Rubio

Apparently somewhere in a nearby room, a cat has knocked some silverware on the floor. I shudder to think what else I'm going to find.

Mithrandir

**hood

(away)

GentlePurpleRain

Ok, @Beastly. It's up to you.

Beastly Gerbil

16:28

meh

HOOD

Rubio

HOOD is Blue

Beastly Gerbil

good

[PASSING]

Shiro

GentlePurpleRain

SERVANT (unlimited)

Business Cat

Welp.

GentlePurpleRain

16:29

You can do this.

Rubio

You can also fail at this.

Business Cat

It's theoretically possible, yes.

Rubio

You have free will. Use it. :)

Deusovi

Back (not playing obviously).

Whoa! I thought red had this game in the bag after that 4 clue

dcfyj

What clues are outstanding?

Business Cat

16:30

Well, hospital and state I guess.

1 for FUNERAL, 2 for HOLD

dcfyj

Servant (of the) STATE

Business Cat

Presumably we need to find those 3, then 2 match SERVANT

dcfyj

possibly litter for funeral

jam for hold (ish)

Business Cat

We were discussing Plate for HOLD

Rubio

@Deusovi But I'm sure you'd get my next clue.

Deusovi

16:31

I'm sure I would too.

dcfyj

Yeah, I was about to say possibly plate for hold

Rubio

I could clue "... (Unlimited)". hehe

dcfyj

I think jam is probably likeliest?

Business Cat

It seems pretty loose to me. I thought of it earlier but very loose

n_palum

Back

GentlePurpleRain

16:34

Just in time to join the endless debate... :)

dcfyj

what were the other holds/funerals?

n_palum

Okay so we need 5

I go back to Hospital for Funeral then as that 4th

Hold I go back to Plate/Fork

GentlePurpleRain

You guessed DEATH, UNDERTAKER, MASS for funeral, and HAND for hold.

n_palum

Servant I like State, maybe hospital again.

dcfyj

servant -> plate isn't far at all

Business Cat

16:36

So our (in some cases loose) guesses are PLATE, FORK, HOSPITAL, STATE, and ???

dcfyj

littler works for servant too (as in a palanquin)

Business Cat

And JAM?

dcfyj

I think litter is stronger than jam

Business Cat

We're definitely missing at least one of plate, fork, and jam. There's a better clue there than HOLD

n_palum

PLATE

dcfyj

16:37

well then lol

GentlePurpleRain

Red

n_palum

If that's not it we lose anyway

dcfyj

skip fork for now, do state/hospital

actually...

n_palum

Hospital, State then fork next unless objections

dcfyj

why use servant for state + hospital

there are better words for that, no?

Business Cat

16:39

Like what

n_palum

Hospital for Funeral not Servant (My original guess)

Business Cat

^

dcfyj

hospital's ok, not so sure on state now...

Business Cat

State seems good for servant though

Rubio

@Deus - I am stepping away for about 2 minutes. If their turn ends before I return please give the clue from your notes for me?

Deusovi

16:40

Sounds good.

dcfyj

I'm less sure of it because I'm thinking litter for the other

n_palum

HOSPITAL

GentlePurpleRain

HOSPITAL is yellow.

n_palum

WELP

GentlePurpleRain

:/

Business Cat

16:41

n_palum

Beastly Gerbil

SLUG

GentlePurpleRain

n_palum

I was probably right originally about hold then to guess bat/fork/plate/hand

Beastly Gerbil

RABBIT

Deusovi

that's game!

GentlePurpleRain

16:43

blue again

Beastly Gerbil

nice

Rubio

woot.

Just got back in time to see that :)

dcfyj

!finalboard

Shiro

GentlePurpleRain

My notes, if you're interested:

FUNERAL: DEATH, UNDERTAKER are givens. Probably MASS (service) and STATE (funeral). They might go SHADOW or HOSPITAL, but seems tenuous. Didn't even think of TABLET.
HOLD: HAND, BAT, FORK. (BAT and FORK are things that you use by HOLDing them, unlike others.) Should I try to include PLATE, BELL? No, then they might also go CARROT, MATCH, etc.
Forgot about SHIP. Aaargh. Should have done HELD instead....
SERVANT: PLATE and BELL. Maybe also "servant of the STATE". The rest from previous clues (hopefully).

Deusovi

16:44

Shadow of the Colossus

Shadow of the Colossus, released in Japan as Wander and the Colossus (Japanese: ワンダと巨像, Hepburn: Wanda to Kyozō), is an action-adventure video game published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCEI) for the PlayStation 2. The game was released in North America and Japan in October 2005 and PAL territories in February 2006. It was directed by Fumito Ueda and developed at SCEI's International Production Studio 1, also known as Team Ico; the same development team responsible for the cult hit Ico, to which the game is considered a spiritual successor. An HD remastered version developed by Bluepoint Games...

dcfyj

lol, a thank you and then attempted murder

Business Cat

I still don't get litter <-> servant

GentlePurpleRain

@Deusovi I totally had that one (even without seeing the board).

Servants carry a litter (like a palanquin).

Sconibulus

servants bear a litter

dcfyj

@GentlePurpleRain That's exactly what I said lol

GentlePurpleRain

16:45

The chair-y thing that important people would ride on.

Rubio

Litter
1. A bed or stretcher so arranged that a person, esp. a sick
or wounded person, may be easily carried in or upon it.

^ hehe

GentlePurpleRain

@dcfyj That's why I said it. I wouldn't have remembered the word otherwise.

dcfyj

Yeah, I'm a fount of incredibly random knowledge

GentlePurpleRain

so, how does JAM mean HOLD?

dcfyj

traffic jam was my thought

Business Cat

16:46

I had no idea that was called a litter

Rubio

@Deusovi I didn't know that game at all.

Business Cat

I'm a fountain of typos

Deusovi

@Rubio Yeah, considering you all never mentioned it, I figured you didn't know it.

(Must've been weird to see that in my notes.)

GentlePurpleRain

@BusinessCat I think you mean a fointain of tupos.

n_palum

@Deusovi I knew it! :P

Sconibulus

16:47

@GentlePurpleRain Jamming is one method of holding the door

possession is apparently another one :)

Business Cat

Another? o/

n_palum

I can-ish, but cannot SM yet

Meeting soon and I have to demo some stuff

Sconibulus

Deusovi

Business Cat

Hmm not sure if that enough, if n_p will have to leave

dcfyj

17:03

I'm here, I had to step away for a bit

n_palum

~15 min

GentlePurpleRain

17:13

I can be sporadically involved...

n_palum

17:47

I am around again

I hate demoing stuff @_@

Deusovi
