!join

RED: GentlePurpleRain, John Dvorak, Riker

Tokyo

@Mithrandir may join later, chatting over CHQ for now

!board

TOKYO is yellow

8:34 PM

ok red turn

Close shave :P

Worth trying

Doubt Mith would have clued it like that if it was red

I'd say it's plausible

GentlePurple are you there

8:35 PM

Red: Uniform (4)

Pants

Nice

school?

Is anyone up for a game of spyfall after this

maybe crown

8:36 PM

conductors use uniforms

You have to guess with the word on its own line, bold, with no other words.

!join

oh we know

we're discussing

Hi Erik the Outgolfer, you'll be joining team red!

They aren't guessing yet.

8:36 PM

RED: GentlePurpleRain, John Dvorak, Riker, Erik the Outgolfer

I'm guessing pants I think

PANTS

PANTS is red

PANTS are red.

maybe cotton?

I think crown too

that's "king's uniform"

8:37 PM

!board

I like conductor

but go for cotton if you think

shoudl I try crown?

'twas your idea ;)

8:38 PM

CROWN

schoool first?

Well, that was a short game. CROWN is black. :(

CROWN is the assassin.

oh shoot

!finalboard

8:38 PM

ironic much

hahahaha

CHINA, SMUGGLER, BALL, THIEF, FORCE, GERMANY, SUB, BILL, CALF.

CHINA and GERMANY could suggest “Country (2)”, but I’d prefer a longer clue.

SMUGGLER and THIEF as well - “Criminal (2)”.

BALL and FORCE… “Newton (2)” is out because SCIENTIST.

“Beef (2)” could tentatively work for SUB and CALF…

Going with “Country (2)”.

Remaining words: SMUGGLER, BALL, THIEF, FORCE, SUB, BILL, CALF

Hmm.. GPR clues “Uniform”, probably going for SCHOOL, CONDUCTOR, PANTS, and CLUB. Nice.

And Riker is angling hard for the assassin :D

I've been Rikered

Scientist was yellow, surprising

8:39 PM

shush

@Mithrandir You got all 4.

I assumed UNIFORM covered it

new game?

sure

@GentlePurpleRain no log for you?

8:39 PM

Although I didn't notice CLUB so

No log. Didn't have time to get it going.

BTW, quick guide to waving: O/ is "I can SM", o/ is "I can play but not SM", and 0/ is "I can play and can SM if needed, but prefer not to SM"

8:40 PM

Zani v. GPR should be quick

no just quartata being weird I think

what is sm

spymaster

Spymaster

... oh

8:40 PM

oh

@ZaniXu the cluer

O/

Ok then

I can not

wait I can't

then say "o/"

I can only stay on this site

o/

what?

8:41 PM

So it's me and Erik, then?

...shoot

RIP

I think Zani is saying that they can't open up any external websites right now. (Maybe on mobile?)

No my dad blocked them

everything that is not stackexchange

Oh, sorry, John also said 0/.

8:42 PM

um, are you sure you're of legal age to use SE?

yah

likely

14

Europe?

I have website blocks and I'm 15 :p VPNS ftw

8:43 PM

if you're in the EU that's not legal

@John or @Erik want to fight for it? Or do you both want to SM?

well I'm not

I can SM

I'm in America

Wow, lots of young folks around.

8:43 PM

@GentlePurpleRain !flipcoin it, I'd say

(I'm almost 16 myself.)

!flipcoin

I don't mind leaving it to Erik

Eric Tressler?

@Zani, that doesn't help without defining it first (and without being whitelisted).

8:44 PM

oh

@EriktheOutgolfer go for it

hm, alright

You can both do it if you like.

@Mithrandir you age up in nov right?

I'm happy not to.

8:44 PM

Actually I thought there was a flipcoin command

@Riker nah, later this month

@quartata there is

!flipcoin

Red

@Mithrandir same here

I don't think we have decided on a second SM, unless GPR wants to be

RED: Erik the Outgolfer, Riker, Mithrandir

I wonder if it's possible to have SO host a CORS proxy in a stack snippet...

8:46 PM

Who goes first

Did Shiro say who goes first?

red

!join

Hi Tumbler41, you'll be joining team blue!

Blue goes first

8:46 PM

I assume Blue, because we have 9

1 min ago, by Shiro

Red

BLUE: GentlePurpleRain, quartata, Zani Xu, Tumbler41

Blue goes first, cause they have more to guess.

blue

ah

8:46 PM

no, that was the result of !flipcoin

ok gentlerain

I am going first, just to clear up any confusion.

Give me a minute to think.

Hi John Dvorak, you'll be joining team red!

RED: Erik the Outgolfer, Riker, Mithrandir, John Dvorak

Whoops! Sorry, John.

Q: What is the maximum number of pings a message in chat can contain before people are not notified?

8:48 PM

@Shiro BTW:

0

I've noticed that once there are a certain amount of @pings in a chat message, the users who are mentioned don't actually get notified. For instance, we sometimes have the bot ping lots of people for a Codenames game. The linked message consists of this, only: @BusinessCat @Rubio @Forklift @...

@Mithrandir uh, I'm really not at all sure if that's the reason you didn't hear a ping

did you hear this?

yes

I've actually got the volume up high because I was watching something, so every ping is making me jump ;)

maybe the stuff you're watching and the ping sound just...matched

@Mithrandir

he already said he hears pings now

8:50 PM

Blue: Creature (3)

how about alien

team

octopus

@EriktheOutgolfer nope - it was off. plus the SE chat ping is very distinctive

!board

crane

8:51 PM

alien?

Should I guess alien

!imagehost imgur

Um team

!board

8:51 PM

@ZaniXu if they don't respond, just go for it probably

Octopus

I say Octopus and Crane > alien

!imagehost imgur

Kappa

!board

8:51 PM

OCTOPUS is blue

well there are 3

Crane

@Mithrandir hey, it didn't work for me

@EriktheOutgolfer super user

8:52 PM

there I guessed crane

CRANE is blue

CRANE is blue

ninja

alien

alien is almost certainly the third

ALIEN is blue

8:52 PM

All right cool

table

woah!

we get one extra guess

why?

!undo

8:52 PM

??

TABLE is red

wait. don't reveal.

....

RIP

hah

8:53 PM

don't do that.

too late

It was a legit guess

why in the world would you guess table

I thought we get one more guess

We guessed the 3 creautres

We do... but what the heck made you think table was right?

8:53 PM

and we get 3 + 1 guesses

You don't have to use all of your guesses

you do get, but this specific one was incorrect

I don't know

Not a smart move.

do you get another hint?

8:53 PM

too late now

no

thinks

are you supposed to wait?

only guess something if you have a reason for guessing it

!board

Oh

Usually you just pass when you run out of clues.

8:54 PM

What if you have 3 clues

WHAT

The last guess was undone

yes

no, that can't be

8:54 PM

...I did do !undo and said not to reveal it, but it was already revealed.

it should be redone

Table was already revlealed so we have to put it back right?

table

table is red

!board

for reference

8:55 PM

You could leave it as a freebie that still has to be guessed explicitly. Doesn't matter though.

so, now I have to really think

(ping me when the clue's ready)

(it needs a lot of thinking, difficult board)

@Erik As SM, your communication should be limited to providing clues and indicating colour. Any other comments (such as your last two) can inadvertently provide information to your team.

8:58 PM

I have to leave, sorry

!Laeve

!leave

RED: Erik the Outgolfer, Mithrandir, John Dvorak

RED: Appliance (2)

@Mithrandir Loud ping! Clue's ready.
