9:00 PM
yeah, without Noam.
 
blue: offspring (2)
 
Kid and ... Life, maybe?
 
ham and foot obviously, because children have feet, and children also have hands which ham sort of sounds like
 
does antarctica actually have any ants?
 
KID
 
9:03 PM
KID is Blue
 
@Skidsdev How are you not supreme leader of the world?
 
imagine if that was red
painted red
 
@flawr no, it's anti-arctic in other words, it's the circle without bears in it (yes that's actually what that means)
 
@Mithrandir Any thoughts?
 
life works
 
9:04 PM
@quartata I see a blue word and I want to paint it black
 
Better than anything else I see :/
LIFE
 
LIFE is Blue
 
Eiffel 65 - Blue
 
I say we pass?
 
@Skidsdev I don't believe the bear part. (bear in latin is ursus I believe, and in greek it is something like pheron(?))
 
9:05 PM
@flawr nope, in greek it's arctus
 
@Skidsdev youre skiddin' me
 
i want to ask if a category of words can be a clue but if i ask that it'll be obvious which word i mean, what do
 
You can ask WW with a one time secret
 
Put it in a one time secret
 
You can send me a one time secret
 
9:07 PM
24 mins ago, by flawr
what constitutes a valid (or invalid) clue?
 
@flawr The brown bear (Ursus arctos) Sorry I guess it's arctos
 
 
also yes the scientific name for Brown Bear is "Bear Bear"
 
Red: Music (2)
 
Piano and Band
 
@Skidsdev I guess it is ursus :)
 
@betseg Yeah its a thing
 
@flawr yes, Ursus is latin for bear, arctos is greek
The Eurasian brown bear is called Ursus arctos arctos or Bear Bear Bear
PIANO
 
We need to take a risk here
 
9:09 PM
PIANO is Red
 
yolo
 
use the extra guess on one of the handball words
 
ok now somebody else do band so if it's wrong I can scapegoat
I agree
 
glove or roulette
 
band
 
9:09 PM
BAND is Red
 
I say glove
 
yeah me too
 
antartica plz
:)
 
Wall is another possibility I hadn't thought of
 
hmm true
 
9:10 PM
kinda related to dodgeball
 
what about foot?
a foot is a leg-hand after all
3
 
I thought of that too but I feel like in that case he would have clued soccer or a real sport
hmmmm
 
why do you think handball is not a real sport?
 
screw it I'm taking a risk
if this is the assassin, I'm sorry guys
GLOVE
 
@quartata As a Briton, I take offence at the implication that football isn't a real sport
 
9:11 PM
GLOVE is Red
You are out of guesses. It is now Blue's turn
 
phew
 
 
nice, ok
 
@quartata as a Briton, I take offense at the implication that football is called soccer
 
@Skidsdev sorry but WW is West Americano
so im going off of that
 
9:12 PM
@quartata valid
 
@quartata I ain't though
 
oooh
 
??
 
WW is polish
 
big apple?
no?
 
9:12 PM
'E's a right Londoner, 'e is
 
@quartata yeah
 
big apple is east americano
 
oh you misunderstand
west americano is because its west of Turkmenistan The Capital Of The Universe
 
well in that case there is no east americano
it's just americano
 
no no
 
9:14 PM
@Skidsdev California is east of Turkmenistan
 
east americano uhh
 
blue: Northwest Passage (2)
 
@quartata you need to be politically correct here, it is Turkpeopleistan
 
Depending on how you look
 
might have existed a long time ago. i dont remember
it probably was lost to the oceans or another island blinking
 
9:15 PM
America and Ship are the first things that come to mind
 
@flawr actually it's Turkmenistan and turkwomenistanette, they're neighbouring cities
and joint capital of the universe
 
@Skidsdev thats azerbaijan
 
Joint Capital?
 
where did you learn geography.
 
@quartata I killed them all! Not just the Turkmenistan, but the Turkwomenistan and the Turkchildrenistan too!
2
 
9:16 PM
@cairdcoinheringaahing ok that was good
 
theres only 12 countries how could you forget them
 
@Mithrandir Are you still around?
 
@quartata you forgot Sealand, there are 12.5
 
OK I'll take over miths spot
 
@PostLeftGarfHunter Why?
 
9:17 PM
obviously your answers are Bear and King
 
Make the teams balanced
 
@Skidsdev but we dont put those on a map. how could we.
 
because the Nordic name for the northwest passage translates to bearking
 
I'm fine by myself
 
@Skidsdev BearGearKing
 
9:18 PM
I'd screw it up even with a teammate
 
@PostLeftGarfHunter you can see the board
 
Ah don't worry I know all the answers
 
AMERICA is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn
 
oof
 
9:18 PM
See!
 
way to fudge that up
 
chaos chaos
 
@quartata Yeah but its a conflict of interest. So it cancels out
 
@PostLeftGarfHunter wise
!teams
 
RED team: Post Left Garf Hunter, flawr, Skidsdev, quartata
BLUE team: betseg, Mithrandir, caird coinheringaahing
 
9:19 PM
Red: Execution (2)
 
king?
 
wall?
 
Roulette?
 
Psycho Mantis?
!board
 
9:20 PM
I'm sure someone called Grace has been executed at some point
 
 
yolo
KING
 
KING is Red
 
yodo
 
ok so
ship is a possibility
ehhh
Oh!
Russian Roulette
 
9:21 PM
yeah that's what I was thinking
but it's not as obvious as king
so I didn't yolo it
 
But we had it before for handball
 
@quartata is not the same without a gun
 
but that is more like voluntary execution. does that still count as an execution?
I'd still go with wall
 
@flawr well when youre fitting in king
 
I don't see the link with wall
 
9:22 PM
most executions are done in front of walls, statistically
 
I mean
 
@Skidsdev execution by firing squad usually involves positioning the victims at a wall usually
 
statistically most events in populous areas happen in front of walls
 
@Skidsdev but i used big data
 
I'd say most of them happen behind walls :D
 
9:23 PM
did you run it through Hadoop?
 
this is tough because wall also works with handball
 
even better
 
I mean, I'll yolo it if we don't decide soon :P
 
back, sorry
 
@flawr Personally, every public execution I've been to has been outside. Not sure about you
 
9:24 PM
vilkommen
 
!who
 
Red currently has 2 guesses remaining.
 
!board
 
@Mithrandir Good. I was failing without you
 
 
9:24 PM
good to know I'm appreciated
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing well every one I've witnessed has been on a wall
 
aight Leroy jenkins
WALL
 
WALL is Red
 
POW
 
TOLDCHA
 
9:25 PM
We had an ... odd conversation about geography, then I guessed yellow :/
 
!board
 
hmm
id rather not pass
 
I think park
because handball
is often played in a park, when played casually
 
And it was a 2 clue on tree
 
but you need two goals
 
9:26 PM
park is at minimum not blue i would say so
try it?
 
@Skidsdev Clearly you should play handball on a ship, just go for a swim if the ball is lost
 
Sure
PARK
 
PARK is Red
You are out of guesses. It is now Blue's turn
 
woo
 
 
9:26 PM
not bad
 
turns out just saying screw it and going for the guess is kinda working
 
we still probably will lose but at least its close now
 
I dunno they need to get 4
we need 1
 
@quartata That's the spirit
 
hot dog
 
9:27 PM
@Skidsdev they need to get 4?
 
warm cat
 
vendor rise up
 
What were our previous clues, @caird?
 
you have nothing
to lose but your condiments
 
@flawr yes
 
9:28 PM
@Mithrandir Northwest passage (2), offspring (2) and tree (2)
IIRC
 
blue: Northwest Passage (2)
 
....huh?
 
lmao
 
@quartata Theirs some pun here involving sausage links but I can't be bothered to come up with it.
 
Well.
SHIP seems a safe bet
 
9:29 PM
No argument here
 
@PostLeftGarfHunter if i were an oppressed hot dog vendor i would simply eat my chains of sausages, thus freeing me,
 
SHIP
 
have you tried that.
 
SHIP is Blue
 
9:30 PM
Blue currently has 2 guesses remaining.
 
I've got absolutely nothing
 
And possibly Antarctica, if betseg doesn't care about differentiating between the poles?
 
@Mithrandir betseg
 
right
sorry, I'm operating on about 7 hours of sleep in the past 72 hours
 
772
 
9:31 PM
I think we should steal Skidsdev's strategy and just yolo them all
 
stay awake for 5 hours to win big
 
do it
 
alright, YOLO
 
@quartata what is up with food vendors here????
 
ANTARCTICA
 
9:32 PM
ANTARCTICA is Red
I hope you feel okay about that.
It is now Red's turn
 
welp
 
thanks guys
 
 
@flawr wheat wizard organizes for a union of hot dog vendors
 
9:32 PM
lol
 
when you yolo it always comes up red :D
 
!finalboard
 
 
gold yeah?
 
oh was bear the other northwest passage?
 
9:33 PM
Saved me from making a clue that was ambiguously COMIC and ANTARTICA
 
cos the ARCTIC has BEARS
 
yes :D im pro arctic not anti arctic
 
well played guys
alright I need to pack up and head home
 
yeah good game
 
I've got to go sleep. \o
 
9:33 PM
i have actual work to do
 
And I should sleep as well. good timing :P
 
im about 1500 births behind on my record keeping
 
I always wanted to meet someone who actually works.
 
i also should sleep
i have a class in 8 hours
welp
 
It was nice learning a new game:)
 
9:34 PM

oh yeah @PostLeftGarfHunter did you keep notes?
 
getting together a game for codenames requires RNG manipulation
 
American handball (simply "handball" in America)is a sport in which players use their hands to hit a small rubber ball against a wall such that their opponent cannot do the same without it touching the ground twice. The three versions are four-wall, three-wall and one-wall. Each version can be played either by two players (singles), three players (cutthroat) or four players (doubles), but in official tournaments, singles and doubles are the only versions played. == History == Games in which a ball is hit or thrown have been referenced as far back as Homer and ancient Egypt. A game simila...
 
haha
 
9:35 PM
Other than net everything was perfect
 
it's just "handball" in England too
 
@PostLeftGarfHunter this is kind of what i figured you had in mind
 
oh I thought handball was just volleyball but with a smaller ball
TIL
 
but i wasnt 100% sure and wanted to branch out
 
yolo strat always works
 
9:36 PM
@PostLeftGarfHunter should have said american handball then :)
 
good night! \o
 
@flawr America was on the board
 
bye guys
 
if you ping me, I'm usually around for a game between 8AM UTC to 11PM UTC Sunday through Thursday.
 
9:38 PM
@flawr oh yeah i forgot. your clues cannot contain a word on the board
not even a prefix
 
@Skidsdev that is what I understand as handball:
 
Yeah we played that in our physical enrichment course
 
enrichment
 
 
But we played a lot more of real handball in the park
every park in nyc has a handball court
 
9:40 PM
not in the enrichment center?
 
aperture science volleyball center
 
HANDBALL
 
I also did forget that goals are a type of net
 
crash bandicoot net goal hours
 
I would have also liked to clue wallball or aces-kings-queens which are other wall games we played in the park, but they all contain a word on the board.
plus I don't know if people actually know what akq is
 
9:44 PM
thinking about how much fun i could be having playing some crash bandicoot on a wall in the park
you just render the framebuffer with chalk
it washes right off
